I found this cool widget that I read from android forums that you can place on your home screen to toggle the 3G data on/off for those that want to conserve the most battery. I think its handy.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.farproc.data.enabler&feature=search_result
Basically the widget toggles the following check box
Settings -> Battery & data manager -> Data delivery -> Data enabled
Elixir in the Android Market allows you to create customized widgets such as a 3G data toggle and a whole lot more. It's very cool. Give it a try it's free!
Is there any way this can be made into a real working toggle? I was hoping I could find a program out there that would let me do it but it seems I need some dev skills to accomplish this. It would be really cool to make an official Motorola 3g toggle.

Widgetsoid
If it a customized toggle widget ya need try widgetsoid from the Android market.
I think we hashed this all out back in November at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335818
Although I admit that I opened up the Data Enabler Widget apk and replaced the on/off images with ones like shown a couple posts above - instead of the radio antenna image shown in other thread (more like the stock 4G toggle).
CM9 has it built in! Woot! If not on CM9 try widgetsoid, an app that you can put a toggle on homescreen for mobile data and a metric **** ton of other toggles as well.

I was wondering if someone could please help explain to me how to go about resizing my desktop icons? I've downloaded some GO themes that include larger icons and are easy to replace--the icons were big enough to cover the icon label text. I don't have the experience to mess with rooting, and would like to have the "cubed icons" I found big enough as well, but when I insert them using Astro file manager, they're small and don't cover the icon labels. I am new to Android and am using GO Launcher EX. I have known for a couple of years that the best work and insight comes from XDA. Thanks.

ADWLauncher has the setting for size of icons, and a bunch of other settings to change the way they look.
I'll look into that launcher, but I would like to maintain GO Launcher EX...if it's possible.

Ideally, I'd like to have my cubed icons the size of the Firefox icon in the pic...again remaining with GO Launcher EX.

So for anyone who might be looking for this same thing, Desktop Visualizer is the best option I've found. It can take a little time to go through all of the icons and set them up, but ultimately it will give you the ability to size icons and route them to whatever shortcut/app you'd like. You could even get rid of app labals as well, if you wanted to. Here's what I was able to do.

DOWNLOAD
downloading right now....will be back with feedbacks...btw,where did u find it???looks cool....thanks
I have been using that for a long time, but it has some way to go still:
Pros:
- Looks good
- Able to update the location properly. When travelling, it actually updates the location accurately.
- Has a lot of skins and fonts to go with a lot of themes you might be using
- Free App
Cons:
- Memory use is very high. ~25MB. It was fixed in one of the versions (~8MB), but it is again back to 25.
- Day and night calculation is bugged. It will show the Sun icon during the night and vice-versa. The dev claimed to have fixed it, but, its not, for me.
- Local time showed in the weather forecast screen is off by half an hour. (Probably because I am in a GMT +x.30 Zone)
- Skins are just colour variations of the clock. I would have expected some 'proper' skins, and, the ability to change the colour via a picker.
Sorry (I need this word very often, but i mean it seriously)
Is there a widget like this (or even better), with 3D Flip clock and weather, which i can place on the desktop (i don't have the right word for the android screen), and when i tip with my finger on it, it shows the normal clock (Clock, Alarms..) options.
Thanks for your answers.
looks awesome will download
Posting this here since I don't yet have 10 posts. I keep losing my main dock maybe once or twice a day. I have CM7.2 w 1.3OC kernal. Sometimes when i go to tap Go SMS which i have in my main dock(5 icons) i lose the dock, the trash can appears and i have to reboot. When i reboot GoSMS icon is gone and have to reload to the dock from AD. Other than this the ROM is rock solid and fast as heck. 4600 quadrant scores. I am very grateful to the devs like jokersax and cougar for graciously sharing their work. thanks for any info you can provide. Here's a screenshot of the result. As you can see this time the icon got duplicated somehow.

Are you using the stock ADW launcher or GO launcher.
There's a few settings where you can turn off the hidden dock. Sometimes it's triggered with a long press or double tap. See if the hide dock is set to any of the settings in adwlauncher setting >general behavior
To restore or turn it off.
Settings>adwlauncher>UI settings> Hidden dockbar settings.
For go launcher, idk maybe someone can help with that on.
Thanks cougar. Yes, I'm using the ADW launcher not go launcher. Only checkmark in Hidden Dockbar menu is "Dockbar". Two others are unchecked.
I'm not sure if anyone else has tried it, but LMT launcher (not really a launcher) DOES work on the DX2!! Only setback I've found so far is that "slices" used for app launching, literally show up as "app". This is fine for me though, because I'm just using it for toggles, and those icons are showing up--at least on CM7--I haven't tried it on anything else.
If what I've said confuses the mind, here are a few informative links!

This app would be perfect if I could figure out how to launch the stock task switcher from the pie. The task switcher button wouldn't work, and I have tried keying longpress of the soft home to trigger recent apps, but no luck. Long press of the search button (to trigger voice search) worked great.
Its a pretty cool idea. And it matches the browser quick controls so I like the consistency. I tried it out on my phone for a little while but ended up disabling it. I have so many ways already to quickly launch apps and get into settings etc. lol.
About the app icons, if you go into the settings and scroll all the way down, there is an option that says "Show app images". Set that to 1
funny..... in the youtube video you link, it shows how to make the app icon show up. just sayin. you made it sound like it didnt/wouldnt work or something.

My GPS Location Switcher is a new and free android app that allows to fake your location and makes you look as if you are in another place (city or country).
the app doesn't need the GPS to be turned on, just your network connection would do the job. My GPS Location Switcher will change your current location, and makes any third party apps that uses or needs your gps position (like social media apps) believe you are in a different place.
​you can use the app to have fun with their friends making them believe you are in another place. and what's great is that the app doesn't need root access, just download and enjoy playing games on your friens and family.
the app is very useful when used with GEO-location-based apps such as:
- social media apps: twitter,facebook,whatsapp...
- dating app.
- travelling apps.
- navigation apps.
- chat apps.

Nice app work good and do what we expect of it, despite a simple and concise interface, a little lack of option to activation or desactivation rapid thanks to a pop-up that can be discreet.
Hoping that soon the application can be ad-free.

really good sir
