Not sure if you are using sense or not, but I am using LauncherPro Plus and find that going into Menu->Settings->Wireless->4G, etc is annoying.
I found "4G Toggle for EVO" in the market. It says its only for EVO, but since they are both made by HTC, I figured I'd give it a shot, and it works.
Hope this helps some others.

I have been using Power Control Plus, and it also includes a 4G toggle. Also has a button for turning USB tethering on/off (main reason I bought it).

+1, I like having the power bar in the notifications pull down. Also like the switch to disable lock screen.

I also found Widgetsoid afterwards, which has everything! It's great.
cant wait to try this out!!!
One other option, for those using adw, is as follows. Long press the home screen until a menu appears. Choose custom shortcuts, then activities. When this loads, go to settings, then scroll down to 4g settings. This will create a shortcut to the 4G settings, and will not add the chance of further battery drain.
Beautiful Widgets includes one that works as well.
I'm using extended controls, its a paid app but very customizable, they have a control for about every function you could need

Yeah, great app.
I've also purchased beautiful widgets and used it before for toggles, ultimately widgetsoid does everything better, for me.

Just wanted to throw Elixir in the mix. It has a 4G toggle that works prettty well plus a lot of other things. Kind of similar to Widgetsoid but with color. Pretty good app though

So, I really wanna use Launcher Pro, but when I use it, I can't use the HTC music player widget and HTC settings widgets (like the 4G switch).
Is there any way to get around this?
Not possible.
There is no widget that mimicks the htc music widget, but I've found that doubletwist is a better music app and it has it's own widget. For settings, check out widgetsoid 2.0 for a much better settings widget. You can even set up a notification bar widget that's similiar to the epic.
Both are free.
You can request that Fede (the developer) add this. He's created many great widgets already which are similar to the HTC ones.

Widgetsoid 2.0 is insanely customizable.

Launcher Pro Plus includes a number of Sense-like widgets (the only one I really cared about was Twitter). I also used Beautiful Widgets for the home widgets (time/date). As for the switching, I paid for Power Control Plus, because it lets you add a toggle for USB Tethering (which I had on my Hero - I think I might just hold of on rooting until there is a ROM that supports it). But it also includes a flashlight button (which I believe supports multiple brightness levels), and a few others handy things as well.

Coming from the Captivate, there is one main thing that I miss. The status bar buttons. I know there are apps for this, but none act exactly how the Captivate did.
I've used a few apps, but they just aren't perfect. Is there a way to have these Captivate buttons from the status bar ported to the Atrix, or an app that does EXACTLY that?

I actually miss those from Cyanogen. There they were called Notification Power Widget. I have not found anything that can do it yet..
i would love to see that status bar on the atrix, its one of the few things that i miss from my captivate.
If you have power control plus, you can put a toggle bar in the notification tray!

I took a look at it and although it does put it in the notification bar its not a one click type deal. You hit it then it opens a new window for you to toggle in.

Yeah I dunno its mediocre.. I used notification toggle... It takes on slot per toggle so its not cm7 but it is one click. Just saying

Yea I read somewhere stock android doesn't allow it unless you make your own rom like cm7. I've also tried every program from widgetsoid to notification widget . Still can't mimic it exactly.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I have found this app work for what you are wanting to do. it wont pull down like a notification but you can make it better than that.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2
I have a whole separate page on my atrix with memory/battery/space information and then all of my widget switches
Another solution is using the app "mysettings" - It doesn't have
control from notification but you can assign long click on search button to open it then you can control all the features you had with your captivate from anywhere - even when I owned a cappy I used this app instead notification menu since that was faster.
quick settings
I had used my.settings for a while and found quick settings to be a bit better

Are you still envy of the brilliant lock screen of Sense 3.0? Now, as long as your phone is Android system, you will be able to experience the beauty of the lock screen. Only use one button, you can choose to use this agile lock screen or system default screen. Drag the bottom circle to the top can unlock screen.
This program has a lot of setting options: font, font color, font size, background settings, shortcuts settings, etc., must be well meet your needs.
If you have the "black background" problem, please set the "background alpha" to value 255, then the problem may be solved.

will Loopy tweak help to keep it work after heavy use ?
I have no idea, but you can try it. I only now that this app have cause some issue when the phone is in Airplane Mode. (you can't connect to network)
Oh haven't checked this. But I won't use this lockscreen due to missing quick setting of sound / vibration .. but i could try to use it from status bar .. i will try once more xD thanks anyway
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
I made it with loopy tweak and excluded from task killer and even if i reboot the processes with FMR (great app) it's still alive only the airplane mode problem. I think the Pin insertion is included in standard launcher /lockscreen so it doesn't work but i don't need airplane mode LOL so everything 's good.

Searching this from a long time thanks.....This Lock works better than other locks
Nice work! fantastic lockscreen.

Sick of mashing my power button all day. Is there a non-root method of a shake or at least volume wake/unlock? The one thing I really miss about my iPhone 4 is that one button in front that I didn't have to hunt around for.
Install a different lock screen like go lock or something similar with the volume wake option

Thanks, but that only works with Go Launcher EX... Hoping for a solution that's standalone.
Widget locker has that option
Lockbot also.
This function holds a wakelock btw. You coukd see a huge difference in battery life
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Thanks! I tried these... Lockbot just doesn't work at all on my Note. No lock functions, regardless of method. There are some complaints on the play store about this, so it might be a bugged rev.
Tried Widget Locker before and it was such a clunky mess that I deleted it. Couldn't find any shake to wake feature, but if it really does need to be a wake lock that drains the battery then it's not worth it anyway.
Maybe someday I'll switch to the an International model with home button.
Have you tried SHAKE 'N ON WIDGET, it works on mine, just gotta put the widget on HOME screen
Cm9 has volume wake built in

I used widget locker when I was on stock. Pretty sure you can disable stock lock screen under security settings.
You say it was clunky, but I never had problems with it. It did take a bit of tinkering to get it set up first time perfectly. But volume wake worked on stock Rom if I recall. It's also one of the only ones not just trying to sell ridiculous themes which is sometimes refreshing. There are huge theme that's on xda. Tesla is a good dev. Also devs one of the best launchers, nova.

Hi everyone..
I'm looking for an app, widget or anything you can think of, style appsi, sidecontrol or any other quick launch app, that can be activated through a shortcut or any other way beside gesture... From my experience both of these apps are the most usefull and efficient apps of there kind. You can add favorite app, contacts, toggels or practikly anything you would like. The thing is that for me personally, being able to activate them only via gesture is quite annoying. I find myself accidently triggering it, or facing bugs. Appsi hasn't released anything for a while, so I guess that the project is over. And sidecontrol has bugs and doesn't work well on my lg g3. Does anybody know something else like theme?
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post, and of course for your help....

Swipe pad is launched by a gesture, and is rather limited than appsi or sidecontrol...

Because that to access everything you need to go the home screen. I'm looking for something you can access these features from anywhere..
The home screen is just one big menu that has hot key access via the center of the navbar.
I can access it from anywhere by hitting the home key. I can return to any app I've started via the recents key.
Your view of how your menu should work is the same as this. In your app you hotkey access from anywhere. So do I. You would have categories to establish multiple menu levels. So do I. You need to return to the app you were in. So do I.
Mine is just reinventing what we already have. Yours requires additional code and system resources. I'm using mine and you're still looking.
Point taken...
