Anyone know where I can get a larger buttoned toggle settings widget (like the one with wifi, BT gps, brightness widget by default)
kinda like the one in 2.1 for the x10 at around 57 seconds

Hi i was wondering if it is possible to add a 2g/3g toggle in the quick settings where other toggles for gps, ringer, rotation toggles are?
I'm used to keeping 3g off until i need to surf the web to preserve battery life.
Thanks
The quick settings in the notification slide down cannot be changed I'm afraid. Use something like Extended Controls to add a widget to your homescreen.
Is there a recent widget that shows Wifi signal strength? I have Beautiful Widgets (though I'm always on the lookout for something better for clock/weather/battery), so I don't need a toggle, just want a small widget for signal strength for when I'm running Go Launcher with the notification bar turned off.
Any thoughts?
Hi all,
I have several other Android devices at home, all of them runing CM7 or CM9. While I appreciate some of the things the Motorola ROM (GSM here) delivers, I'm missing quite a bit as well:
- grid size on home screen - having 3 widgets fills out completely a screen; I'm looking for a 50% or 100% increase in rows and columns. DPI changer is not able to provide that
- battery reporting is only done in 10% increments; I'm using Circle Battery Widget as a workaround
- no way to toggle 2G/3G with a switch. Using notification toggle because I cannot live without status bar toggles
- provider name is too long in the status bar
- no way to tweak auto light levels
- lock screen does not display any info about missed calls or messages
- notification led does not have any settings
- cannot assign custom shortcuts or wakeups - like pressing both volume buttons to open camera from lock
- no way to change the number of screens in home
- widgets do not get updated after an install, I need to kill the launcher first
- stock gallery looks really sad and performs slowly on zoom
- there is no "charge only" option beneath the usb/mtp/ptp
- no color themes for home screen, so I can use darker colors for power saving
- no themes for email widget, same reason
- email widget uses a lot of power (partial wake) even though the accounts are set to sync once per hour
- I don't see any way to take HDRs with the stock camera app. I thought this was default in ICS
- cannot use any other external sound equalizer - tried mostly with DSPManager
- stock music app does not wake on bluetooth control; if it's paused for more than 30 seconds I need to open it again to be able to resume music
- stock equalizer messes up the volume of the music pretty bad and it compresses the sound
- cannot assign a long press on the back button to kill the current app
On the other hand there are some new custom features which I really like, like the 'disable' application button, smart actions, detailed data usage and data limits, disabling background data, ...
So my question is, how can I enable some of the stuff above without losing a lot of battery life, money or UI integration (I'm thinking metro-like simplistic looks).
I'm also missing the option to disable individual permissions for apps, but the "disable background data" built-in feature fulfills 80% of this. I would have loved to be able to disable location awareness for some apps.
Right now the biggest gripe is the 10% step on battery reporting, I cannot get accurate battery stats. Still, that part is in part filled by BetterBatteryStats.
The stock power control widget does not have an NFC toggle. Does anyone know of a widget (preferably a powerstrip-type) that works on the DNA?
*EDIT* Heres a list of widgets but don't have the feature I'm looking for.
Stock - no NFC toggle.
Power Toggles - has NFC toggle but only takes you into the settings where you then have to select "...more" then enable/disable it yourself.
SwitchPro Widget - has NFC toggle but takes you to the "Wireless & Networks" setting panel where you then have to enable/disable it yourself.
Power Widget - No NFC Toggle
*EDIT 2* I've figured out that what I'm trying to do is not possible. Apparently NFC toggle is not permitted for non-system apps.
I'm also interested in such a widget. No one?
So far as I know, there is no such widget for NFC. On the other hand one of the things that separates NFC from say WiFi or BlueTooth is that is uses VERY little power. So leaving it on all the time would not really affect your battery life and is the ideal way to use NFC.
Hi,
I'm looking for a widget that allows me to change multiple setting at one click.
For example, when I touch the widget, it sets brightness to 0%, turns off wi-fi and data.
There are plenty.. One which i like personally is Power Toggles.. It can be used as a notification widget or a normal widget..
