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?

I'm using the icbar program on my xda and love it. I'm trying to customize it so it shows the phone icon that is displayed on the normal start bar (the one with the signal strength, etc.). I'm able to get it on their with a default icon (blue square). It functions like this, if you click on it (shows connection options, turn off phone), but doesn't display signal strength, etc. What can I change the icon to so it works correctly?

Well, I e-mailed the author of icbar, and he said that currently it can't do this . So, I was wondering if their is another program (that can be ran from icbar) that would show the signal strength, alerts, etc? Or is their a program similar in function to wisbar/icbar that doesn't cover up the system (?) notifications? I like to know when I have a voicemail :lol:
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
I was using extended controls power bar and i believe it was responsible for breaking my data connection with AT&T. So I would advise anyone not currently using it not to install it. I got my data connection back by resetting my phone. There is a whole thread on the data conection problem here:

The 4 power widgets that come with the Atrix work OK, but they are big and ugly for my screens. I am wondering if anyone is using a 3rd party power bar that works with no issues. thanks
I also have been looking for a mod or app to get the power toggles in the pull down notification bar. I tried Status Bar Settings and the buttons dont work at all.
Coming from the Captivate, I really miss these. I use the power widget right now, but would like it in the pull down.
I am using the free version of Toggle Settings. It allows me to set up multiple profiles and with that can control all power options except for gps. That can be assigned to the pull down and it can be accessed there to change power options.
Im using one of the free power control widgets and its also messing up my data connection. The stock android power control works fine.
i use switcherpro widget, very small transparent icons with no background and up to 8 controls that you can set. no problems with data connection.

I've been using Extended Controls with no problems so far, but I will monitor it for problems. The only thing I've experienced with it so far is a laggy led flashlight switch.

This very annoying removal of the quick toggle I am trying to find a workaround, everytime there is a new android version I have to fight with feature removals.
I thought this would be simple using tasker but in tasker the 2g/3g mobile data toggle function is red, marked as unavailable on my device.
It can still be toggled but only manually navigating deep inside the settings menu. It seems tho a quick toggle API function is removed.
Any app/tasker guide to work around this? as I suspect this can still be done via tasker but instead having to make it call the menu function instead.
After android 9 update from T-Mobile my s9+ no longer shows the clock icon over in the right side group of icons to tell me the clock is running in the background. This is kind of annoying because the clock was always very unreliable and I used to check that to make sure the clock was still going (I'm using the stock google clock app, not samsung's clock app). Is there some setting to make this come back? Is there any other way to tell the clock is still running?
Also I no longer get the icon telling me I'm on wifi calling from the phone app (though the setting for wifi preferred is still turned on in the app). I presume it is doing wifi calling anyway.
The clock icon is apparently the system alarm icon that says alarms are set. I found the UI tuner launcher app, and it shows the system alarm icon as being active, but no such icon appears in the status bar. Does the alarm clock app use some feature now that doesn't look like a system alarm any longer? Or is the system alarm icon just gone forever in android pie regardless of the UI tuner setting?

If you pull down on the notification panel, it shows at the bottom the wifi calling is active. Weird place to put it, but I guess they just want one software for all and are taking things away from good phones for the stupid pin/pill hole on the next worst thing.
