how do i get the stock toggles back after switching to LP?

Switched to LauncherPro and now all my icons to turn 4g, Wifi, and Bluetooth are missing.. They were originally on the phone when I bought it.. Anyone know how to get these back or a good switching widget that is free?

The default widgets are Sense-based so they will not work on LP. Check out Beautiful Widgets instead.

I recommend extended controls. It has more options than BW and is more customizable.

Launcher app with wifi toggle?

Hi all, I am new to android having just gotten a Desire S. I was trying out Go Launcher EX which I liked a lot, until I realised that there are no toggle widgets for things like wifi, mobile data or gps. From what I have read, only Launcher Pro Plus has some of these widgets, is that correct? Is there any other free launcher which will give me these toggles the same way HTC Sense does? I don't mind paying in principle, but in the future I may want to use a custom rom. Thanks!

I use Beautiful Widgets. It costs a bit, but it's worth it since you get many toggle widgets (WiFI, GPS, Airplane mode etc.) and a nice clock+weather widget with lots of customization possibilites.

If you want a free app with only toggle widgets, you can use for example Toggle Widgets Pack

Thanks very much! Would you know if the Toggle Widgets Pack would work with a launcher like Go Launcher EX?

Yes it does. But I just noticed that Toggle Widgets Pack doesn't have a switch for mobile data. Here's a better alternative:

Has many more options and much more configurable

Get Quick Settings so you won't have to get a new launcher and waste space with widgets. All you have to do is hold the search key to bring up a window with the settings you need.

Thanks very much to you both, I will try both ways and see which I prefer. Thanks again!

I'd throw in another one: Elixir, not only switches but lots of other useful stuff too

Widgets in Notification Area

Hey guys, as the title says, does anyone know if there is a solution, or know anyone who can make a solution, to enable widgets in the slide down notification area? I mean to place proper widgets you'd have on your homescreen onto the notification area.

That's a big challenge there man.
I don't think the current GB framework can support that kinda thing. But a lot of the newer custom ROMS I see have app shortcuts on the second row of the notification bar. That's pretty cool.

Yeah, but you know the way certain music apps have their notifications there, and some of those allow controlling the music. I think that if we can somehow exploit that feature, we'd get widgets in the notifications bar.

Yea that's true. Would be cool.

closest to what you're talking about, that I can think of is elixir. It can display a customizable widget-like panel in the notification pane. it can be set to show system info etc. the only thing is its not directly interactable eg. when you click on it, a popup comes up which you then can interact with.
Hope this helps.

There are a lot of ROMs with widgets in the notification pull down. Any CyanogenMod based ROM generally has them. The default MIUI ROM has a full page of them. Maybe I misunderstood the question.

Yes you have misunderstood. As I described in the OP, I'm talking about fully functional widgets you have on your homescreen. The things your describing are toggles, they toggle functions, my Official OS version from Samsung has those toggles.

If it helps, check out 'widgetpad', which is an add-on to swipepad. What it does is to create collapsable widgets as shortcuts anywhere. When used with swipepad, it can be invoked from any screen, any app.
(Now, this doesn't answer the query, but there is this way to access widgets from anywhere)

Well theme Chooser came out and it would be nice to be able to change features (icons,text color, etc) and be able to save them within Android itself and choose accordingly in the theme Chooser instead of a bunch of XML edits and apk edits

I want to see less threads about jelly bean wishlists.

For me, its 3G video calling and more refined UI

Options to customise the menu bar at the bottom. So always have the home button, but choose if back button, app list visible. Want the touchwiz screenshot button? Hold the menu bar, select the 'mini widget' and drop it there. Want the touchwiz popup app menu? Hold and select.
Want a mini widget that always shows if there's a new email and count? Choose if you want that notification to pop up in the usual notification area, or if a fixed point on the menu bar (tool bar?).
The popup settings bar, with the clock/notifications. Allow that to be customised too. Choose if you want it drag down from the top, pop up from the bottom and how (kinda built in Cyanogen features), and again, if you want mini-widgets on that to turn on/off wifi/bluetooth. The stuff that's there, but not standardised. Then, if Samsung/HTC want to customise their phones/tablets, it's just those mini-widgets they default to, to get the look they want. If you don't like it, you remove them and use standard halo theme. (or select more featured ones from the play store).
So if you want a really clean look, you can hide all those buttons, and use gestures (press and hold the menu bar, show the possible widgets, with settings per widget on which gesture to activate).

-rotatable home/lockscreen
-very fast screen orientation
-changeable color themes
-customizable lockscreen and notification bar
-more visual (transition)effects

Native DLNA might be nice
I would love if the virtual soft buttons could be changed around too for handsets that Have them.
A longshot and probably not possible very easily but Uncompressed Images or at the very least, Lossless ones from any device cameras.
And on devices that have one, Configurable alerts for the on-board notification LED if I remember right way way back when my old Epix running winmo 6.x was able to do this.

[Q] Widget to switch user

Hi guys,
Im looking for a widget that is able to one-click switch to a specific user.
Like I click on the widget / icon on the homescreen and it switches to one of my users automatically.
It would be even better if I can change the icon / appearence of it to make it completely invisible.
My Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.1 is rooted and I use a Cyanogenmod Rom and the Nova Launcher.
Thanks for your help!
