Hi all, I've come from CM9 where notification widgets such as Wifi toggles and mobile data can be added, removed and reordered. Is there a way to do this on the Galaxy S3?
The main thing that irritates me is the mobile data toggle is so far away from the wifi toggle!

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
is there a widget that you guys tried working that allows you quickly toggle on//off the wifi hotspot? (without widget, I'd have to go to setting->mobile hotspot->enable, at least four clicks) I tried switchpro widget, most of the toggles coming with it work, only exception is this wifi hotspot option, I click the toggle , nothing happens...is this a bug from gingerblur?
I have the same problem here.
Someone?

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. 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?
