ok i searched many but cant find good widget/switcher/toggle for non root phone that can switch fast and easy between 2/3/4g network....any help?
anybody?
Back on the Galaxy S2, I used to switch lots of functions thanks to the app named "Power Toggles". I can't guarantee you that it will have a switch for 2G/3G/4G, but it might have one. Basically, it's a widget that you can customize by putting the switches that you want, in the order that you want. So you might want to have a look at it, just in case it does what you need ; )
Such Toogle Apps have been blocked by Google security for most settings since Android 4 or 5, i think.

Before Froyo, if I wanna enable/disable mobile data usage, I used a passive way, changing the APN server setting, to fool the system so it couldn't connect.
In Froyo, there is a new option under Setings -> Wireless & Network Settings -> Mobile Networks called Data enabled/disabled, which is a much direct approach than changing the APN.
But up to today, I've yet to see a widget which targets at this option. Currently I hv made a 3G shortcut to that setting page on to my home screen. Really hope there will be a toggle widget instead!
So how do u guys enable/disable data usage at the moment without a handy widget on Froyo?
Thanks!
P.S. I know about SwitchPro and Extended Controls. They worked as expected but in the old APN way (changing the APN server name), like other widgets such as apndroid. I m looking forward to a widget which can make use of the new froyo setting.
(yeah I know 2 approaches produce a similar effect. I just wonder if I keep the Mobile Data setting on and let it to connect to a wrong address will cause any battery waste. Hope u understand my point of view.)
SwitchPro just updated their widget to include turning the data off for real. Not the APN way. When I updated, it was defaulted to off. Took me so long to figure out how to get my data back up
Old APN way is still available under the settings too.
I use extended controls power widget. It looks like power manager, but with more options and customabilty =D
JuiceDefender has an APN on/off widget. Not sure if it's in the free version or not.
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.

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

Hello,
I write this post because I need some information for the personalization of my nexus5 (kitkat stock rom).
I would like to customize the toggles accessible from the notifications bar.
I need to have:
-A button that allows me to enable or disable the data network (currently enters clicking in the statistics and from there I have to click the button on / off)
-A button that allows me to make 2g/3g/4g switch (sometime if i need only use whatsapp i use edge for saving battery)
Have you any suggestions?
I know someone will chase the rabbit of the hat!
Thank you,

HI
Please try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
I use Power Toggles:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
It works very well and you can create toggles for your Notification area or as Widgets for you homescreen.
Hi,
thanks for your answers!
I've tried this app but there isn't possibility to add nothing in quick toggles area...
With this app, minewhile, i've added the toggles in notification area...
Have you ideas?
Thanks,

I have root but don't think this is available unless you flash a custom ROM, I'm just praying for AKOP to release something...

Has anyone with Root access tried GravityBox Xposed app yet? That should do the trick but I don't know if they updated to 4.4 support yet.
the xposed framework doesn't work on 4.4 yet, sadly. The developer just ordered an N5, and is already looking at the issues, so hopefully we'll have an update soon.
you've already got a data toggle, press and hold the centre button which has the signal icon on it. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work exactly the same way, quick press into settings, long press toggle. Arse about face compared to others but it works.
I couldnt install either of those apps..kept getting error 920...awesome.
Had the phone in my hand for an hour and debating sending it back for a few reasons.i dont know why google wouldnt implement quick panel..its a basic must have for many

Im just waiting for the up to date Cyanogenmod build to be developed and released which will have fully customizable expanded quick setting tiles as standard. Its what I usually do with all my Nexus devices.

I have used the various 23 Toggle mods, battery mods etc that are available for the Note 2, S3 etc. Looking forward to these being available for the N5... but development takes time.
coming from CM on my old LG P990, this is the only thing that I'm missing ; customizable quick setting tiles.
I use old good Widgetsoid. Very customizable.

GravityBox
I'm using GravityBox and works very well. I recommend you to try it. It needs root acces.
I'm using Quicker Free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bwx.bequick2
It is similar to the QuickPanel in appearance but allows you to add and remove the settings you like. Also allows you to make more than one screen of settings.
Actually just tried out Power Toggles and like it better than Quicker Free
Just use Cataclysm rom. It's pretty much stock rom with a few added options like this

I use extended settings haven't tried any of the other options really but it does what i need it to do and i think it meets your needs and its also free but there is a paid version with some extra features

Hello,
I bought a smartphone (Coolpad Modena 2) with android 6.0 onboard for my grandma. I installed a launcher made espetially for seniors. It works really well. All buttons are big, all extra apps are blocked. But there are 2 things that bother me.
1. With a swipe down the screen you can open the notification dropdown menu. From there, you can easily access all phone settings. It makes it pretty easy to mess something up. It there a way to switch off the pulldown menu?
2. With a swipe up the screen the preinstalled ROM shows up a handy menu with settings like aeroplane mode, wifi on/of, priority mode. It looks really similar to the iOS control center. Again - it makes it way too easy for my grandmother to turn aeroplane mode on for example.
I was searching for a solution all day but didn't find anything. Maybe there is a custom ROM where you can disable this kind of menus? Maybe there is an other solution?
I will be glad for any help !

Greetings and welcome to assist. I'm not sure if you can disable it with a custom rom or root but you could try nova launcher. You can resize the icons with it and customize allmost all the gestures. It may be a bit more complicated to set up but when done should do the trick
Good Luck

i don't know if this belongs in here i read the rules and didn't find anything that said it doesn't so i will try
heres a wishlist for my ideal rom
1.i want to get rid of the entire google section from the settingspanel and put it under accounts i find it really uncomfortable to have the google branding in my settings panel i want it all to act like any other account where settings go under account, if no google account is logged into then theres no google settings
2.i want to get rid of the entire accessability section from the settingspanel and move just the accessability app function under system so apps that require it can still work i also want blutooth settings and wifi settings combined into one all connectivity settings under one section not two different ones
3.i want to port sonys xreality Engine including the settings such as ultra vivid mode under screen settings as this is something i find extremely valueble it makes the lcd on my xz1 beat the oled of my s7 edge, i believe this is by far the best screen preset funciton on Android so it could go under screen presets simple as that
4.i want the rom to be as Clean as possible, i want to choose not to have it come preloaded with a calendar app or phone app or anything like that that can be downloaded off the playstore, any app function such as Contacts that can be downloaded from the playstore i don't want any of it preloaded, so as bloatware free as possible, i am not sure how to work that with no launcher coming preloaded though
5. i want the playstore renamed to just store or software manager or software center and with a regular store Icon, basically i want to get rid of any and all google branding from the rom, the rom would ofcourse have google functions as otherwise it wouldn't work but visually i don't want to see any branding of any kind that includes the name "trebuchet" for the preloaded launcher i'd prefer just "launcher"
6.not important but i want greenify implemented as standard battery saver functions rather than something you download afterwards i also want doze to be put under battery and wellbeing to be put under screen settings, i noticed these are in the main settings panel, i also want the setting to doze gms to be implemented in the battery settings panel so you don't need magisk for that i also want doze and greenify to be merged into one or just take all greenify functions and put it under doze
7. i'd love for magisk to be implemented too under system settings so theres no magisk app you access settings under system not through an app
8.i'd love screen width to be impemented under screen settings so you don't need to go under developer settings just to change screen dpi, i would also love usb debugging to be taken out of developer settings and be put under connected devices section or in my case connectivity settings
9. i noticed that most of the settings under google settings don't even have to exist so they could be seperated throughout the panel like screencast can be put under display settings, nearby could be under connectivity settings, backup would ofcourse be under system and search would also be under system, location settings could be under connectivity, configure nearby device under connectivity
10.get rid of any "no simcard" warning from the rom as well as any carrier branding i don't want to know it, i think everyone is aware if they have no sim or not in their phone, maybe show a warning when trying to go online that no simcard has been detected and notifying the user to use wifi.
this is ofcourse just a wishlist i do understand if magisk or greenify can't be implemented in a rom but it is a wishlist.
