I have been looking for a widget to toggle MobileAP on and off since I use it as my primary internet connection at home, it sucks having to repeatedly turn it on and off every time I leave the house.
Might even be cool to have it automatically shut off based on location?
If something similar is already available, please link. I haven't found it. Thanks
If you use adw launcher you can make a custom shortcut to mobile ap, then just turn it on n off... Fast enough for me

how do you do that I am trying to figure it out?
Edit nevermind I found it under activities
You can try "tasker" in the market.
Yeah, but doesn't it change the wpa code every time its activated? Wouldn't you need to go into settings anyway to get it?

The passcode is the same once you set it up and the ssid.
I used Bettercut to setup a shortcut to the Mobile AP settings but not an actual toggle which would be nice.

It really sucks this was moved to Q&A, it's a dev post as far as I can tell. It would probably take 15 min. for someone savvy to make a widget that does this. I guess most of the devs don't really use mobileAP.
real laaaaate response, but both "AndSpot Widget" and "Mobile AP Shortcut" work real good. I personally prefer the first one, as the other one is kind of ugly.

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to create a custom shortcut to pull down the notification bar/window. I like to have the thing him hidden but am looking for a quicker way to access it than hitting menu doftkey and selecting notifications. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I use ADW EX.
It has swipe gestures that will do what you want. Pretty amazing app. Other launchers may do this, but I can only confirm ADW EX. It's the best launcher, IN MY OPINION. Others may have another fav (mainly b/c they don't like giving a developer $3).
I use LP Pro..so it's not that I don't want to spend the 3 bucks. More like I put my money on a different racehorse.
What I'm asking is definitely possible, theres already a shortcut it's just in the menu. I just can't figure out how to pull it out and use it.
Edit: I was able to bind tje home button to opening the notification bar...it's not how I wanted to do it but it works. Would still like to see if anyone knows how to create a shortcut for it.

Hi guys was wondering if there is this app out there that can do the following...
You know when you swipe left or right you go to different windows from the home screen. Is there an app or something that wil allow you to swipe up or down from the homescreen to go to the window to the left x2 or to the right x2. I'm basically trying to find a way to get to my other windows in just 1 swipe as opposed to 2. It might not be much but I would much prefer it that faster if possible.
Anyone know of anything that can do this for me?
I use the "pinch and pick" method. (At least that's what I call it.)
Or hit the Home button twice (or just once if you're already on the Home screen).
That's an interesting idea but I would assume it would have to be built into the launcher you're using. Like home screen replacement Apps have swipe up for this and down for that but I haven't seen them have an option for swipe up for page x.

Try an app called Wave Launcher. It's not exactly what you described as what you're looking for but may be another solution, it's a fantastic app! Here's a link for you:

Will that all eat up my battery a lot if I'm running stock everything non-rooted?
I'm really enjoying being non-rooted because surprisingly everything just WORKs. Battery life is great as I can get an entire 12-13 hour day out of it before it goes red.
Also...why Go Launcher? When I use to have it on my old Evo 4g whenever I would press the "home button" it would close Go Launcher and go back to the stock launcher...also...I have to use their own Friend widget (people widget) if you use it right? Or has that changed? When I used Go Launcher before the People widget I use to use from Sense disappears.
I'm completely stock.... Just download Wave Launcher and try it, if you like it then excellent, if you don't then uninstall... It's a free app so you lose nothing trying it. Good luck!

Stock unrooted, too. GO Launcher (like any alternate home app) doesn't allow the use of Sense Widgets but they have an alternative to most of them and the widgets are themeable. Battery usage is no more than usual and if you REALLY wanna squeeze all the juice you can from a charge, check out Juice Defender. And why GO Launcher? It takes the best parts of all the paid launchers (ADW, Launcher Pro, etc), improves on them, adds in even more functionality, offers tons of themes or the ability to create your own, and it's free! I use GO SMS, GO Contacts and GO Dialer, too. The GO Weather is borked though lol dunno why

Im so sick of not being able to control the radio on my phones!!! I should NOT have to load cm7 just to gain this function.
If I want to force 2g then I should be able to. I can't stand that my phone constantly bounces from 2g to 3g all day at work.
I have resorted to using airplane mode all day. All I want to do is force 2g. Does anyone know of a way to do this without completely disabling the wireless signal?
Also, I am not very interested in apps that screw up the apns on the phone to force the internet to not work. I want a simple toggle just like the phones used to come with. Even when I disbale mobile network in settings I can still hear my phone trying to text over 3g one minute and then 2g the next. This constant switching is very hard on the battery. ESPECIALLY in limited service areas such as my work.
Please help.

There is a app that you can get in the market that's called samservmode. Its kinda tricky to get to but start up the app and on the main screen you'll get some options. Ill just tell you where to go
Main menu: choose option 1, debug screen
Page 2: choose option 8, phone control
Page 3: choose option 4, ue state control.
Page 4: Then you select GSM for 2g or wcdma for forcing 3g.
This is the only way I know how to do it on this phone, once you get the hang if it,, it will only take a few seconds to force either 2g or 3g. And to go back to automatic setting I would just reset my phone or the airplane mode on/off.

This is the same thing as accessing the debug menu through the dialer am I correct?
This means that with every reboot I would have to redo all of this.
It shouldt be this difficult! Thank you for the info though.

Try this...
Open up dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
Select phone information.
Press menu and choose select radio bands.
Choose AUS.
For me this locks the phone to only 3g/"4G". I use this all day long due to the fact that my phone will constantly switch between the two while I'm at home. I can't guarantee that it will work for you but it's been a lifesaver for me. If it works the same for you, be aware that you will not have service in a strictly 2g area and would have to set it back to Auto to regain service. It also doesn't stick on a reboot.

This will put 2G at a higher priority than 3g, or you can switch to automatic to let whichever one has the best signal at that moment. Stock is 3g has a higher priority no matter what which is why you get disconnected.

This won't help me for 2 reasons but I thank you for the input.
1.) Im looking for an option that sticks after reboot.
2.) Im in an area at work that is bad for both 2g and 3g. So no matter what the priority it will always bounce between the 2 looking for better signal.
I need to force 2g.

Well someone is cranky. Touchwiz *is* just a launcher. Specific to samsung roms, just as sense is to htc.
Samsung even markets touchwiz as the user interface (that's a launcher)

SMH....no
SENSE is not just a launcher, Touchwiz is not just a launcher and BLUR is not just a launcher.....
there are specific drivers, and frameworks needed for each one, hell they even need specific KERNELS to run....
there is more than JUST the launcher. yes, it is a UI, but it is embedded in the dialer, the contacts, the accounts, even the framework....
ever wonder why you cant take the rosie.apk from a sense rom and drop it into another non-HTC device and have it work? probably not, because you dont know about the integration the UIs have....
its not JUST a launcher....its an entire UI....wake up
That I agree with you. But I'm almost positive that's not what he was talking about.
I'm not sure why it seems you have a chip on your shoulder about this.
Most people's view of a rom is the launcher. That's all I was addressing.
I know stock ui runs deep in a phone, but the main difference of what stock has that cyanogenmod or miui doesn't, is the launcher.

some people like the touchwiz features the UI brings. sliding brightness control on notif tray, slide to text/call in contacts, the hardware acceleration that TW4 brings along with the gyro/accelerometer, the camera app, the social integration, the email.....etc etc etc
i know i actually enjoy it now. touchwiz 3.x on galaxy s1 was horrid, but i like it now

yeah, sorry. I saw that. Perhaps should have mentioned it.
I'm on stock 2.3.4. and it said it wouldn't work.
so thanks for re-using the search function for me.
Don't get me wrong but the notification/widget implementation on iOS is not pretty efficient in my opinion.
I'd hate to be constantly pulling down just so see what's up with the weather or whatever.
I rather have my widgets on the unlock screen or desktop as Android does.

I downloaded Go Locker and it made me download Go Launcher EX as well. Oh well, I was gonna try it anyway. It looks good so far.
You could always test each and see which is the most functional for you...you can also try locked roms such as rocko and imperial found in the development section
The most reliable one I've found is MiLocker, it has alot of options too.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I've come to the determination that WidgetLocker is the cheapest, most configurable lock screen.
GO Locker and Magic Locker are both free to install, but each theme can only be configured a little bit. Free ones are rare and limited, and you're asked to pay at every turn. It's really annoying. I scored WL for 99ยข on sale, but even for the full price of $2.99, it's worth it to pay once and never be bothered again.
Also, you can configure your launch screen pretty much any way you like. There are some cool unlock gimmicks I've seen other launchers use, and I wish WL would add some of them, but the fact that you can make your own lock screen is pretty cool. I wish I could configure one up and save it, and repeat, and have a gallery of lock screens I've made, like the others have, but I'm fine just evolving the one as I see fit.
WL doesn't work on its own, and I don't suppose any of them do. You have to download an app called "No Lock" to get rid of the stock lock screen.
And none of these are valid options if you want security. For that, you have to disable your custom lock screen and use the system one.
Actually MiLocker is totally free, doesn't ask for donations and after reboot the stock lock screen shows up once then it's just MiLocker. The only down side is many of the themes use Asia characters in them.
