Ok , so the thing i'm looking for is smth like a profile manager for X10. By this i mean a set of customizable profiles to incorporate most of the phone's options.
For example wanna set it to power-saving mode , so instead of going through each option ( brightness / wi-fi / gps / screen timeout / etc ... ) i wanna have 1 button to activate all these options at once. Or for when i wanna use maps i should turn on wi-fi / gps and oter related functions.
Is there such an app or anything to solve my problem
Also , is there any app that lets me have widgets in notification bar ? I found Widgetsoid , but it's not what i'm looking for exactly ; it doesn't let me toggle the optinos in the notification bar ... it just opens a pop-up of the widget for use.

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
Hi,
I just got my Phone yesterday. I am still playing with it but found some things which won't suit me. They are,
1- How do I disable Conversation type SMS Inbox? I have gone through Settings, but no option is there. Is there a Code or something which will Disable Conversation style SMS Inbox and Enable normal Inbox-Outbox-Sent-Draft pattern SMS Inbox.
2- How will I change the Lock Screen Wallpaper? I can't change it, if I click on, Settings-Display-Screen display-Lock screen Wallpaper only Camera and Gallery options are opening but Select Wallpaper from Wallpaper Gallery is not opening which has the built in pictures and I want to use them as my Lock screen pic.
3- Is this Power Saving Mode stuff really does anything on the battery to save it? Are you guys using it?
4- At what Brightness are you guys using the Phone generally? I am using on Auto Brightness but it takes a while to activate.
5- Please tell me One good free application related to Battery Status? I mean I've seen an app which shows the detailed Battery percentage on the Task bar instead of the Default battery icon?
6- Is there some Secret Codes for this? When I had my Wave S8500 I used to use some Codes, eg- *#8740#, *#5239870*# and etc.. I'd specially like to know a Code related to screen contrast. I mean imo the Contrast is really heavy and rich, which I don't like, on Wave there was a Code (I forgot) which gave an option to Enable and Disable some features like DNIE Technology and etc, so is there same type of Codes available for GS II too?
This is my very First Android device, and especially when coming from Bada it seems like I am in the middle of Pacific ocean and can't see anything. So if I've asked any stupid question please do pardon me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Saurav.
1) i like the conversation style so didn't bother to change or look for the settings
2) u can change it if u root ur phone and u know the codes to change it or just use a custom rom found in the forum. some of them have a way to change the lockscreen
3)if you set the settings properly it works..but not that well
4)i have disabled my auto brightness and put the slider on the lowest..saves battery.. (keep in mind that in sunlight brightness needs to be increased)
5)i use quick battery widget
6)no idea.. reduce the brightness ??

1- I don't like it and I need to change it.
5- I didn't ask for a Widget but an Application which will change the default battery status icon on Task bar to a detailed percentage term.
1. not sure you can.
5. app called battery indicator.

1- . I can't believe it. It has to possible somehow.
2- Thanks. I downloaded it, it's showing the percentage on the Left Top corner of the Task bar, but the default battery icon is still there!
I downloaded an Application called SMS Composer, which does not have Threaded SMS. Cool. Still will look forward for a better app.
Hi all,
I have several other Android devices at home, all of them runing CM7 or CM9. While I appreciate some of the things the Motorola ROM (GSM here) delivers, I'm missing quite a bit as well:
- grid size on home screen - having 3 widgets fills out completely a screen; I'm looking for a 50% or 100% increase in rows and columns. DPI changer is not able to provide that
- battery reporting is only done in 10% increments; I'm using Circle Battery Widget as a workaround
- no way to toggle 2G/3G with a switch. Using notification toggle because I cannot live without status bar toggles
- provider name is too long in the status bar
- no way to tweak auto light levels
- lock screen does not display any info about missed calls or messages
- notification led does not have any settings
- cannot assign custom shortcuts or wakeups - like pressing both volume buttons to open camera from lock
- no way to change the number of screens in home
- widgets do not get updated after an install, I need to kill the launcher first
- stock gallery looks really sad and performs slowly on zoom
- there is no "charge only" option beneath the usb/mtp/ptp
- no color themes for home screen, so I can use darker colors for power saving
- no themes for email widget, same reason
- email widget uses a lot of power (partial wake) even though the accounts are set to sync once per hour
- I don't see any way to take HDRs with the stock camera app. I thought this was default in ICS
- cannot use any other external sound equalizer - tried mostly with DSPManager
- stock music app does not wake on bluetooth control; if it's paused for more than 30 seconds I need to open it again to be able to resume music
- stock equalizer messes up the volume of the music pretty bad and it compresses the sound
- cannot assign a long press on the back button to kill the current app
On the other hand there are some new custom features which I really like, like the 'disable' application button, smart actions, detailed data usage and data limits, disabling background data, ...
So my question is, how can I enable some of the stuff above without losing a lot of battery life, money or UI integration (I'm thinking metro-like simplistic looks).
I'm also missing the option to disable individual permissions for apps, but the "disable background data" built-in feature fulfills 80% of this. I would have loved to be able to disable location awareness for some apps.
Right now the biggest gripe is the 10% step on battery reporting, I cannot get accurate battery stats. Still, that part is in part filled by BetterBatteryStats.

I'm looking for a way to create toggle icons for widgetlocker sliders (not touch widgets, want it in slider form).
The couple such as brightness and sound that are built in can just be changed in the theme but I was hoping someone could help with making extra working toggle icon.
For instance, widget locker doesn't have a wifi action, I can use a Tasker Shortcut to switch the wifi on and off, just need a way for the icon to change with it.
Thanks for any help to come.
Anyone?
Come on. Anyone?
Sounds simple enough but can't figure out any way to have the icon switch. There are ones for the brightness and sound, I just want to add more for the mobile data, wifi & bluetooth.
Toggle button
Hi,
Do you know if exists (or how create) a toggle boutton (custom slider ?) that would allow me :
1 / state 1 : display an icon n°1 (for the button) and launch a shortcut n°1
2 / by clicking the button, it will switch from previous state n°1 to new state n°2
3 / state 2 : display another icon n°2 and launch another shortcut n°2
It sounds simple to do (1 button toggles in 2 states with 2 icons) but can not (and yet , I spent time for)
Kinds Regards
Toggle button

Hi Tali 099 !
Thanks for the answer but ...
My many searches have done NO result for exactly what I want (often the founded buttons can launch app like GTW+, BUT not shortcuts)
I found tutorial for drawing under WidgetLocker BUT I have not found how to set 1 action for 1 state (even the iPhone button that looks like a toggle is in fact a simple one state button ...)
If you have any specific leads (app's name, etc) that do what I want, please, give them to me
THANKS
Laurent
