in new samsung versions ( i think in aosp too but not sure) the gps toggle changed to location .
i don't want the gps to be on all the time so when i'm not using navigation apps the mode in location settings set to power saving (so weather widgets and so can get non accurate location which is enough for them) .
it's oretty not comfort to change the mode to high accuracy before using navigation up so my question is: there's any module that can replace the location toggle back to gps toggle? or other creative way to ease things up ?
No module, but another working solution: a combination of aTasker profile + Secure Settings plug-in which is setting location mode to high accuracy when one of my linked apps is started - same profile toggles back to battery saving mode when the app will be closed.

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.
Hi again...
I "modified" this application for my personal use with the intention of integrating the sense interface style.
System settings in the status bar. Works like the power control widget, but in the system status bar. If you have been looking for a way to control the settings with buttons in the status bar, this is it! Similar to the settings buttons on Samsung phones.
Currently, the app shuts itself down when closed. If you have a task killer, please ignore this app or it will be closed. If you press a button and the interface disappears, it was probably killed in the background and didn't clear the status bar interface yet. It is possible that if the app is removed from memory due to a low memory state, the app will close itself, but I have not been able to test this yet.
Features:
-Wifi toggle
-Bluetooth toggle
-Mobile data toggle
-GPS toggle
-Ringer mode toggle
-Screen brightness/auto screen brightness toggle
-In the status bar
-Access settings without exiting your apps
-2 themes (theme light no work)
-Option to run when phone starts
Enjoy...
NOTE: This application is free and can be downloaded from the market, the changes that I make are not with any purpose of profit ... I do not need

Well-done. Excellent application.
Thanks for your hard work.
I like it. It's working great on DL Desire Z.

What is the original app called?
Great application, just what I needed, thank you very much. Can you add options (in settings menu) not to close the status bar after user input and to hide the icon? I also think that this would look better with the bigger buttons without text...
no data button?
i have a blank space where the data button should be
i was using sys info wig but i uninstalled and reinstalled this app but still no workie....ha
well lemm know what i can do bc the rom that im using ( open desire RAM )
force closes most wigets that are activated and i cant use it.
thanks

Where's the original? I've never seen this app before?
I believe it's the Status Bar Settings app developed by Karson. You can find it in the Market.. with the same description.
Hi all,
Abstract:
I present a way to easily toggle GPS on/off in CM7-based ROMs using Tasker and Locale Execute plugin. It is a little less cumbersome to use than the toggle available in Trigger Redux, and introduces the ability entirely in other CM7 based ROMs. It also leaves a permanent notification on boot if GPS drivers are enabled, so you're not wondering if it worked or not. You can download and import the profiles, tasks, and scripts required in the attached zip, below. See installation instructions.
NOTE: I cannot guarantee that your GPS will get a lock! I can only guarantee that the GPS driver will be correctly loaded/unloaded. Getting a lock is a whole different story!
Overview:
I'm running Trigger Redux build#14 and got a little annoyed with having to go into EDT Tweaks to toggle on/off GPS. There also isn't a naive way to do it in vanilla CM7 (that I know of). However, it's as simple as getting rid of /system/vendor/bin/gpsd (Roman renames it "disabled_gps".) I wanted to write a Tasker widget to do the following:
When I want GPS on:
rename /system/vendor/bin/disabled_gps to [..]/gpsd
Automatically toggle GPS on before reboot
Reboot for me, to reload the GPS driver
Create a permanent notification after reboot
When I want GPS off:
rename /system/vendor/bin/gpsd to [..]/disabled_gps
Automatically toggle GPS off before reboot
Reboot for me; on reboot, phone won't find GPS driver
Using Tasker and the Locale Execute plugin, this is all pretty easy. I wanted to share this with you all because I know how annoying the GPS battery drain is, and toggling the driver on and off isn't natively available in CM7.
Installation Instructions
In the attached zip file, there are 6 files:
CM7_GPS.sh <---- used to only have to approve one Superuser request, rather than several; renames GPS driver correctly and causes a hard reboot
CM7_GPS.tsk.xml <---- toggle widget, this lives on the home screen
CM7_GPS_su.tsk.xml <---- get superuser request - run one time, then you can delete it if you really wanted to
CM7_GPSToggle.tsk.xml <---- toggles GPS on/off, runs CM7_GPS.sh to rename the GPS driver
CM7_GPSNotify.prf.xml <---- leaves a permanent notification that CM7 GPS is enabled on boot
CM7_GPSNotifyClick.prf.xml <---- allows you to click the previously set permanent notification to disable CM7 GPS
You'll need Tasker 1.1 (latest version) and the free Locale Execute Plugin.[/color]
Open the zip and place all *.prf.xml in /mnt/sdcard/Tasker/profiles . Place all *.tsk.xml in /mnt/sdcard/Tasker/tasks . Place CM7_GPS.sh in /mnt/sdcard .
Open Tasker; hit Menu->Profile Data->Import One Profile. Import all profiles that you just installed.
Same as above step, but with tasks.
Hit Tasks, then open "CM7-GPS_su", and hit "Test". Approve the Superuser request. Exit Tasker.
Create a Tasker widget on your home screen - look for the task "CM7 GPS".
Enjoy the ability to toggle the GPS driver on and off, quickly and easily
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED! Download the profile scheme, and hit the Thanks button
If you ever wonder if the Tasker widget actually worked, just look for the "CM7 GPS Enabled" permanent notification. I explicitly check if the file "/system/vendor/bin/gpsd" exists to create that notification. There have been a *couple* of instances where the notification didn't come when it should have; I put in a Wait 20 seconds before checking for file existence in the CM7-GPSNotify task, and that seems to have fixed my problem.
I've been testing, debugging, and refining this profile scheme all day. I've not always been able to get locks, but I've been able to load/unload the GPS driver every time.
If you have issues, please let me know ASAP so I can fix and re-upload. Like I said though, I've been using this GPS toggler without fail for the better part of a day now.
Changelog
Code:
v1: initial release - should hopefully be the only one!
where you can find TASKER 1.1b4
i only find Version: 1.0.21 in offical website
BTW, why don't just turn off gps, i don't think this can drain battery.

Check the link I posted.
Disable/enable for the GPS driver itself was based on a conversation in the CM7 nightlies thread (can't find it because there are WAY too many posts in that thread). In Trigger Redux#13, Roman introduced an "Enable GPS" checkbox in his EDT Tweaks that loads or unloads the GPS driver. This Tasker widget just emulates that functionality, but with a few more bells and whistles.
It may or may not impact battery life; I haven't run enough tests to truly understand the impact of leaving the GPS driver enabled, but GPS functionality disabled. I do know that at the time of the original fix (nightly #54 or thereabouts?) it was, correctly or incorrectly, associated with moderate to heavy battery drain. I've always used EDT Tweaks to load/unload the driver ever since; I just wanted to share something that made my life easier, and might make others' lives easier too.
Yes I confirm, GPS enabled does not actually waste your baterry life, it only uses it when the gps icon is blinking. I keep my gps on all the time, but this is a nice profile nevertheless.

One thing I miss from my Nexus (running KitKat) is the power control widget that, among other features, was able to toggle the location setting without having to actually go to the setting page and select one of the three. The location symbol would toggle between fully highlighted (GPS on) half-highlighted (battery saving) or not highlighted (location off). Same with NFC -- you could turn it on or off without having to go to the relevant settings page. Is there such a widget for the Z3c, or does it have to be rooted to be able to bypass the settings page? I currently use the Power Toggles app, but its NFC and location toggles (and other controls) simply open a settings page instead of actually toggling anything.

Thanks to Google it has to be rooted to bypass the settings page. I have tested Power Toggles on a rooted Z2 and it works flawless.
I'm only waiting for Android L to make things worse over here...
