Anyone have the skill to put the GPS on/off button back? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Bummed that Asus took it out of the quick settings pop up menu as ill take that location over a crappy widget anyday. Anyone capable of getting it put back or do we need bootloader unlocked for such a hack/mod?
UPDATE: jump to page #2 to see the progress on getting this back

Guy...just add the quick settings widget onto your homescreen if you're that crazy over quick on/off for GPS.

Or instal from market beautifull widgets....and dont cry.

I'm not your guy buddy... and do you really think I needed you to tell me I could do this? Please.
And BTW it is the power control widget.... not a "quick settings widget" d'ohhh
We had it in HC & lost it in ICS... I simply want it back

See above .. and with your recommendation you get the joy of using that lame widget just to get taken to the settings only to then have to click back or home. And then maybe the app - 2-3 clicks versus 1

They are just hating for no logical reason. We had it, we lost it, it is a logical quick settings item, lets get it back. How can you hate on that?
The ironic thing is that using a widget is designed to help or aid or speed up a process.... well so is having it back in the quick settings menu but that gets hated on?
If I had the skill to address this I would have done it the day ICS rolled out as clearly they took it out of the quick settings menu as a step to sweep the GPS issues under the rug - out of sight out of mind.

GPS Checkbox findings. Will update this post as I find more
So this is what I have found so far regarding GPS Checkbox missing code. I have been comparing the ICS SystemUI XML files with the HC SystemUI XML files.
I have found 3 pieces of code that differ so far.
SystemUI/res/values/ids.xml
Code:

This one above is a tricky one as it needs the creation of a new ID. Currently I have it right at the end of the file which is why the ID does not follow exactly (there are about 800 lines of code in the whole file). In the HC file it follows directly after autosync checkbox line. This is the ID that I believe needs to be added somewhere into the smali code also. However I currently have no idea where it needs to go as I cannot find the IDs for the other checkbox references anywhere in any of the SystemUI smali code.

So these are my findings so far. From what I can see I think that these are the only 3 files in SystemUI that need this modification, other than the possible smali code addition, but that is gonna take a lot more research.
Unfortunately it seems that currently although we can decompile SystemUI.apk with apktool, even if we make no modifications we cannot recompile SystemUI.apk
So currently all this is very much theory, but I'm enjoying the research.
Thanks to Lock-N-Load for the original idea and the words of encouragement, and thanks to reNeglect for being so gracious to allow us to hijack his thread and for also helping with trying to recompile the file.
Stay tuned.

To update users coming in... Doktaphex and reNeglect and I have been tracking down a way to get the GPS icon back into the quick settings menu where it was before Asus nixed it from the ICS build for no other reason than to try to sweep the GPS issue under the rug. we high jacked reNeglect's thread on some other quick settings mods he has done, so now it is time to bring it back to this thread and give him back his thread
Doktaphex, by tediously comparing HC and ICS files, has found some references we believe are the code bits removed so as to remove that icon - that is what is above. We also found that the GPS quick settings icons - 3 of them - are still in the SystemUI - they have just been "turned off" so to speak from being seen and used.
So, right now, it is easy to make the changes to the above code lines, but we cannot yet compile and test under ICS. It is great progress and I have no doubt this will be cracked.

Man, I'd love to take a crack at this, but I'm a little wary of replacing system files without having recovery available. :/

The more brains on board the better. At the moment though just getting systemUI to recompile is a problem, so there's currently no danger in even trying to replace the file
However, reNeglect did have a nasty experience with trying to mod some framework stuff and getting a soft-brick. So I can understand your wariness.

Do the other existing IDs in the ICS file all match the same call to the IDs in the HC file and that is where you got the ID for the GPS line? Or did you just make it up using logic as the next number? Point is, if the other IDs are the same across each file, it seems logical and stands to reason the same code and line and ID would be put in the ICS file.
Also, if you search the entire SystemUI for just 1 of those other IDs and it does not show up in any other file but that file I am not so sure that there then is another call out there in some file to that ID. If so, you think it is outside SystemUI?

---

Nope all IDs are completely different than the HC ones, and searching for any of the other IDs will take a while, as I think the only time they are referenced at all is in the smali code, have to open each file and then do a search inside that file. There are a shed load of them.

---

Damn.. okay here is an idea
Maybe how about look and see if the Moto Xoom ICS has a system dump yet and if it has these files and do a compare as that will be ICS to ICS? See how those differ? (I am about to see if I can do the same on the wpa_supplicant issue to get ad hoc support for tethering IF the dump is available yet.)

The problem here is that those quicksettings checkboxes are exclusive to ASUS' UI enhancements, therefore they won't be referenced in any other builds from another manufacturer.
