The ability to toggle things on and off from the home screen have always been important to me. This is something I feel is major that WP7 doesn't have. I am looking for the ability to have a toggle switch to turn Wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, and other similar things on and off from the home screen. In searching the closest thing I could find is this:

If anyone knows about development of toggle switches or know if they are coming in the update that would be great. Thanks in advance.
Try attached file this contain toogle for.
airplane mode
wifi settings
bluetooth
data connection
location
Are these supposed to be toggle switches for the home screen or just open then settings for each individual application? For me this is taking it from three steps to turn Wifi on and off of only two steps. Thank you for the reply, and I absolutely love your registry thread, but I don't think this is what I am looking for. Please let me know if I am wrong.

I would like to see them in metro style. Simple white icons without the 3d effect.

No problem. You can do it yourself.
1. Rename the .xap file to .zip
2. Unzip the file
3. Open the unzipped folder
4. Replace the application and background icons with the icons of your choice (same size)
5. Zip all files again
6. Rename the new .zip file to .xap
7. Deploy
Personally I use Dinik Anastasia icons because on OMNIA 7 they look much better than the metro icons...

Not Switches
Once you go to settings and set each of these application you do not need a button on the home screen to get back to each individual setting. This is a waist of space for a home screen that is supposed to be clean. The switch would just turn it on and off from the home screen. I am not looking for a shortcut (and I know what one is), I am hoping to find someone working one toggle switches for the home screen.
What it would need to be is a program that runs a live tile. When the particular tile is clicked on the home screen it would have the program switch that particular connection on or off.
The look of the tile doesn't matter unless it is a useful tile.

better than this you don't get for the moment
I figured this when I searched and searched and couldn't find anything. I am hoping to spur somebody into working one this, or finding someone that already is. I was also hoping to find out if Microsoft was thinking about this.
What I would love is a one tap shortcut to 1 page with all the toggles. So instead of me going to setting- wifi - on I could go settings -on , this would apply for bluetooth, location, brightness, etc.
I swore I saw this app posted somewhere but so far all i could find are the individual app shortcuts.
PS If you're like me and actually use voice control all the time, I actually installed the wifi and location shortcuts but didn't pin them to the home screen I simple hold down the start button and say "Open Wifi" works like a charm!
I'm also waiting for a toggle feature. In fact its the only reason I haven't purchased a WP7 device yet.
As soon as there's an easy way to toggle data on/off I'm buying the HD7.
take a look .

The OP said 3 or 4 times that he doesn't want to have that, lucmar! And if you would read the first page you would see exactly that! He wants to have a toggle to switch it on/off! Is reading a post that hard?
Personally the live toggle tiles are a waste of space. My idea is to have the toggles in the menu bar that pops up when you press the volume buttons.
So you press the volume buttons, the menu pops up, you swipe left or right (same you get rid of notifications) and it brings up another part of the menu bar with access to all the common toggles.
The main advanage of this is that you can access the toggles from anywhere as the volume bar is OS wide so you don't have to quit your app/game to access the toggles unlike if you have live tiles.
This is a great idea and would be nice as an overall experience. This would take a lot of programming, and at the rate Microsoft is coming out with updates, this would not be done for another 2 or 3 years. That is why I can asking for a very simple program that turns on and off settings and has a toggle switch when pinned to the home screen. This would only take a day or two by an experience programmer. Anyone?

Well I don't know if MS reads this forum or if anyone at xda is even working on this.
That's actually a great idea. To swipe the volume bar to get comm manager toggles. Clean and simple

How can I create a lockscreen gesture to toggle bluetooth on/off? I ca create a gesture to take me to the bluetooth settings but I just want to be able to toggle it on/off from the lockscreen.
Am I blind or is the option not obvious.

I just did some playing around and couldn't seem to find a way to do this either. However, now you've piqued my interest as this would be an awesome thing to be able to do lol
*bump* for anyone that knows how to do this for cm7...
There are a few ways that this could be possible..if I could figure out if there is a way to do them in cm7:
1. Like op suggested, gesture to toggle bluetooth
2. Give access to notification bar on lockscreen so you can toggle on the power control widgets
3. Be able to install a toggle widget on the lockscreen
I know that 2 and 3 are doable with widgetlocker but i'd like to find some intrinsic/native way of cm7 to do it...
If anyone knows any of these methods...please let us know...
It's been a while, have you found any way to do it?
I can think of a silly way.
1. Create 2 apps for enabling and disabling BT.
2. Run each app from home screen with different gistures
What i could find is this.
Gesture to go directly to bluetooth settings. Enable or disable there.
Lockscreen gesture lets you choose a shortcut as the target of the gesture. I have created an app called "Toggle Settings" which exposes toggling Bluetooth and WiFi as system shortcuts. So you install this app and then when setting up the gesture choose shortcut and then choose "Toggle Settings" and choose WiFi or Bluetooth. Potentially other toggleable settings could be added too. you can download it from here: goo.gl/0b6sj
Hi!
Just bought the OnePlus 6. A couple of questions..
- Is it not possible to remove the date/weather widget on the home screen? Or atleast change the weather provider?
- When swiping down from top where you turn on and off wifi, bluetooth and so on, is it not possible to show the names of the different settings? They only show when you swipe further down.
Hope someone can clarify!
1st
Yes you can remove weather widget from homescreen long press weather widget then remove appear on top of screen drag widget to remove.
2nd
Top area where wifi wifi & Bluetooth turn on & off is called quick settings
You can only add those tiles in quick setting which available by app developers or device manufacturer if you want to add more tiles root your device & maybe xpose & magisk module available for tiles i am not sure about that.
You can add more tiles to quick settings installing tiles from Google store. So much possibilities. You don't need xpose.

Thank you very much, didnt know it was that simple!
My Nokia 7 plus just received the official Android 9 update and it's made me not hate this phone (so many problems before). One thing that I'm finding annoying though is placement of the NFC settings on/off toggle in the "Connection preferences" sub-menu and I haven't been able to figure out a way to make a shortcut to it. All shortcuts I have been able to create using various apps (home screen shortcuts, quick launch tile shortcuts, etc) only seem able to create the shortcut to the parent menu "Connected devices", then have to drill down to toggle NFC. I end up toggling NFC many times a day and extra steps add up. Anyone know of a way to create a shortcut to the sub-menu directly?
Hello,
I am Using Zebra TC72 Android 10 Devices implemented in Enterpise Mode in Microsoft Intune with Managed Homescreen.
Certain settings are Pushed by Zebra Managed Config throug the Intune interface.
Now I have the isssue, that it seems that Enterprise Mode disables the Quick Settings Menu which would otherwise be available in the Notification bar.
There was everything the user should be able to alter manually like, brightness, inverted colors etc.
I can reach part of it if I restrict the settings menu with the Zebra Tools. https://techdocs.zebra.com/oemconfig/9-1/mc/#usereducedversion
For this I would simply enable the "android.settings" shortcut in the Managed Homescreen, the Zebra Framework would care about the limited view.
But it only allows Access to Display Submenu, For Color Inversion I need the accessibility menu for example.
I can´t find any way to alter the policies in a way, where I could specify which submenus get blocked.
So I need either.
1.) Find a way to access the Quick Controls / Quick Menu from the notification bar again - be it by sliding it down or setting up a shortcut to the Package Name directy?
or
2.) Find a way to limit the Submenus in android.settings I exactly need.
Any Ideas?
