I followed advice in another thread about getting Widgetoid to toggle Data. That worked great, but it doesn't toggle 4G. Widgetoid has an option for 4G toggle, but it's grayed out. I've tried using Tasker, but that didn't work either.
Of course, Motorola 4G widget works, but it sticks our like a sore thumb compared to the rest of my widgets. Can anyone offer advice on how to integrate a 4G switch into Widgetoid widget panel?
Thanks
Add a shortcut under Shortcut > Application> choose '4G Stats'
You can change the icon to the '4G' icon to make it match. That should do it.

Those of you who miss not being able to tap the the task bar in 2.2 (like you could in 1.6) can install an awesome app that lets you open most important quick settings from the task bar by sliding the task bar down. The app is free, its called Quick Setting (by Sergey Shafarenka). Just slide the top task bar and you will see the option for quick settings, then tap it and you will find: ringer, volume control, bluetooth, wi-fi, gps, mobile data. battery meter, and brightness.
If you prefer separate icons, you can try Status Bar Switch by friedflow for wi-fi and bluetooth - both free. I found them first but now that I learned about the Quick Setting App - I may just use it for everything.
Anyway, try it and let me know what you think.
i just tried it, and it looks really cool, specially together with his other app the battery widget which is cooler than the battery widget i had.
Only one thing missing, the option to be able to turn on airplane mode keeping wifi on
+1 for Quick Settings. Ive been using this app since my X10. One of the first apps I installed on my Streak, and couldn't live without it.
Up! +1
I've been using this excellent little app for 3 weeks already. It even give the shortcut for LED flashlight (given you configure it properly) so no need other 3rd party app for flashlight which may or may not work on our streak.
You can even customize what kind of settings you wanted to show, including GPS, mobile data, autosync data, wifi hotspot, airplane mode, auto rotation (yay!).
Edit: i show this to my friend and now his satisfy with it in his desirez
Great Find
Must have app!!!
Thx
Coupled with Visual Task Switcher (for mutli-tasking switch), my streak is finally user friendly

Did you actually try it? There is even another app - notification toggle. But the problem is, that this works just when the OS support it and unfortunately official Dell rom doesn't
I tried Status Bar Settings by Karson. It doesn't work (did not register clicks in notify bar). Even on the market page, the dev recommends Widgetsoid! lol
Widgetsoid has the same problem, it just launches a little app instead of each button being an individual toggle. Not quite CM6+ (from the Notification Toggle market page: "you will get a popup to select the toggle feature if your device doesn't support multiple notification clicks")
Maybe we can petition a dev 'round here to figure out how to shoe horn in "multiple notification clicks".
...and for the record, I have been using Quick Settings on my Streak for quick access to power widgets from the notify tray.

an app wont' bring this functionality.. you need to take apart cm7 or twlauncher to inject the hotbuttons. It is somethign I have looked into a few times without success..
there are dozens of apps that put the buttons in and just open a lame widget....
i have resorted to the wireless settings info popup menu hidden in settings to quickly enable and disable the wireless radios.
The wireless activity Krad mentions is covered here at StreakSmart. I have it as one of the gesture actions on the LauncherPro dock.
You can put one tap toggles in the notification tray but each toggle takes up a line in the tray. Notification Toggle can do this. The status bar switches by friedflow also work well.

Question for anyone using Extended Controls on the Atrix. I want to be able to place Extended Controls in my notification bar, but to also be able to eliminate having the widget on my Home screen. I find that if I remove the widget, it also no longer shows up when I bring the notification area down and tap on the EC. Anyone know how to do this, or is it necessary to have the widget on the Home screen, in which case, it seems like a waste of time to put it in the Notification Bar.
Thanks.
I'm not sure about EC, but if you use Widgetsoid you can add them to the notification bar and then set the widget that's on the homescreen to invisible, so that it's ONLY in the notification bar...I believe. There's a free widgetsoid, so you could always try that out!

I'll try it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Another work around for not having buttons on the notification bar is if you use
swipePad + mySettings
just swipe on the corners to mySettings and change your settings through there. IMO best way.

Sounds like a novel approach. I'll try that too. Thanks!
Widgetsoid blows because..
if you click on a toggle it is not truly a toggle(in notification area) because it launches another toggle window and you cannot toggle directly from notification area

That's true. I guess it depends on the phone. I'm trying the Swipe Pad + My Settings suggestion and finding that I'm liking those apps a lot. The Swipe Pad seems to add a lot of additional functionality. Thanks.

That's true. If EC does it better while still hiding the home screen widget, then by all means use that! Just offering other ideas in case it doesn't.
May not be what you're looking for/more work than you want to do, but CM7 pre beta2 has notification bar controls built in with a bevy of other new features that make day to day use more convenient. I've been using it as my daily driver since pre beta 1 was posted and love it. Minus the few addressed issues that are being worked on now it's the best rom available IMHO.
Hi. Recent, happy convert to CM7.1 on my Nexus One.
Question, though. I use Widgetsoid, and now that I'm root, I'm using the root data toggle method. This works, but the widget provides no feedback about what state you're in. So when I click it, I need to wait several seconds until the notification bar icon appears (or disappears) to find out if the click took. Also, If I have WIFI up, the cell data notification icon goes away, so I don't know whether cell data is also enabled. Since I routinely turn off data to preserve the battery when I'm not using it, this is a frequent issue.
So. Is there a way to get Widgetsoid to light up the data toggle widget when data is enabled? Doesn't seem to be - which is funny, because I used to use the old 2g/3g toggle, which did light up to indicate whether data was enabled, even though the widget itself was only a shortcut to the data settings.
Or... is there another widget that works the way I want?
