Hey all
I've been searching the forums but found nothing so far.
The galaxy is born with power controls in the notification window.
Has anyone modded this to include more options as we're seing in Cyanogenmod? e.g. 2g/3g, sync, brightness etc?
Yes I agree, I hope someone could add these features, it's very useful, not like the widgets Samsung put which are very useless (why auto-rotate or bluetooth, and not 3G ????)
Well, I use the rotation lock on my Hero.
But more options is always a plus

Does anyone know of a widget that will turn off ALL location based settings? Obviously there's the builtin widget from HTC for GPS.. but heres what I mean - follow this into the settings..
Settings>Location
There's checkboxes in here for
-Wireless Networks
-Location Setting
-GPS
The builtin widget only turns off the GPS checkbox. I want to turn on/off all three of these settings at once, or even via separate widgets is acceptable.
I can't seem to find anything that will allow me to do this. Anyone know of anything?
Just trying to turn off anything I can to help conserve battery. I'm not a big location-based user so I can live without these features. If I want mapping or location stuff I want to be able to turn all of it on/off without menu diving.
Can't wait for Seidio or whomever to release a big battery for this phone. I can't get a full day, presumably because of things keeping radios/connections alive.
i used to have a widget on my htc hero that could turn on/off mobile data network aswell as wlan, gps and so on, think it was called power manager.
But after i migrated to the lg optimus 2x, no such option is available, even tho it appears to be the same widget as on my old phone.
I tryed searching for this but could not find anything useful, so i ask you guys if you heard of anything that could enable/disable mobile data network.
I would love to get the option in the status bar next to the current toggles (wlan, gps, rotation and so on), but a widget would suffice.
Cyanogen rom has the options to toggle all that.
For stock rom check in the market place for APNON widget
As a widget I use widgetsoid and would recommend it. You can customise what is on it and also the look to a certain extent. Been good for me
my first post was a bit unclear..
The other toggles i list in my first posts are already in the drop-down status menu, the one im missing is the mobile data network toggle.
i´ll check the widgetsoid, thanks for the hint!
Or try "Elixier", lots of toggle functions.
Market Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=bt.android.elixir&feature=search_result
Try quick settings
I would recommend Widgetsoid.
Elixir is good in function, but it uses a lot of power. My battery drained twice as fast with Elixir compared to Widgetsoid..
I rebuild status bar power button in samsung rom in my national day holiday, now it has twelve buttons now, include all samsung buttons, wifi, data connection, gps, flashlight, sound, auto rotation, bluetooth, auto brightness, sync, reboot and power down. Actually early time I coded some of those function in LidroidToolbox, but not included them in status bar. I actually rebuilt it with java, not just mod of samli. You can download the Java source code here, improve it and add more buttons. Latter if I have enough time I will provide an apk which can change order and visiblity of those buttons.
This code can adapt to samsung i9000/i9100/i897/t959/m110s etc. I will port this in my new rom. The flashflight will display a white and brightest activity when the camera without flashlight, for example i9000/i897/t959/m110s etc.

Thanks. Too bad my vibrants gone. Could make good use of something like this.

Wondering if some of the bright developers around here would be interested in creating a configurable wiget to make things like turning WiFi on or off a one click operation - vs scrolling to settings, clicking to open it, clicking Wireless Networking, clicking WiFi to turn it on or off. Same thing for turning on/off 3G/4G, etc.
Even having a one click shortcut that would take you automatically to the Wireless Networking configuration screen would be a big improvement. Kind of like the ability to send a shortcut from the Wireless Networking Utility in Control Panel to the desktop in Windows.
Or is there already something out there to do this?
Try widgetsoid.. thats what I use on my Streak..it pretty nifty, you can add a lot of shortcut settings on the widgets.
Android also has a shortcut for indivual settings. Just add shortcuts>select shortcuts>settings>pick settings you want to appear on your screen..
One thank you point for ramtix...
Zeam Launcher does a lot of what I wanted, but I'm still willing to try wigetsoid...
I've been rolling round the net for a few days now trying to solve this but no fully successful result.
It seems the stock launcher has this bug were if u have anything active in the accessibility services such as NoLED then tallback (TB) kicks in.
I tried the disable TB suggestion for NoLED but it always seems to start again. However I have stooped the voice by uninstalling it + the 2 TTS engines. However a hand is displayed in the notification bar (& it ignores my colour thyme) and an ongoing notification is displayed as well U can get rid of this but it reappears at reboot.
So I've tried the used a different launcher idea for NoLED, I think this worked (lots of launchers & playing going on) TB voice wise but I still get the hand
Also the splanner 'full screen' widget does not seem to work with other launchers I've had a look at a few other calendar widgets but they are not as good as they did not display any text only a marker for events unlike the splanner widget.
But even if I could find a good 'full screen' calendar widget I would still have the TB hand problem so I might as well stick with the stock launcher as I have figured out how to shut it up - But I don't want the hand!
I was thinking of trying [KERNEL][TW]Forest-HelloWorld-Make-II kernel for JB N7000 as v1.73 has BLN support but this is an old version and the new version does not support it. Also it looks like v1.73 does not have phils touchwiz recovery; which I currently have and don't wish to loose. Also the BLN in 1.73 is based on wakelock, so would this mean bad battery life?
I cannot ask about the kernel in it's thread yet, so can anybody comment.
Last night I found the LEDBlinker Lite app & that looked interesting but the way in which it works (which I have not looked at yet) means the back & menu buttons are permanently illuminated (this will be because I have them set to be on when the screen is on as I have 360 degree rotation enabled) and the activation icon for button savior is displayed. So this is no go due to battery consumption and screen burn.
Can anybody suggest a way out of this catch 22 hell, so I have some sort of message notification with the screen 'off', with no TB voice, no TB hand in notification, 'full screen' splanner widget or similar which displays text for events, does not cause the prob with button savior and the back/menu keys and has philz touch?
If a new launcher is needed it needs to support folders in the apps draw and ideally be free. I'm def not paying anything till I get it all working due to the catch 22 nature of this.
Any suggestions muchly appreciated as I've been messing around with this for days.
I'm using sweet rom v11.1 with a philz touch v5.
Thanks
