Try this. Gives you a today plugin for wireless and bluetooth
Close
The only thing I would like different is if it didn't open up the comm. Manager to actually switch it, if it made the change right from the home screen it would be perfect, anyone know of something like that???I found something called cicleBT that work well however its not on the Today screen home page, I have the HTC home plugin and can put it in the app launcher and its cool. Any way of making it so it works as a plugin on the home screen.

Nice! Haven't seen this one before.
can this be changed to be a plugin
Just want to see if there was a way of making this so that it was a plugin on the today home screen say just under the HTC home plugin aligned to the left side and have my calendar show up to the right of it??? A nice little icon there that is large enough to use my finger to push???
Anyone know how to do a mod like this??
Thank you I wish I knew how to do it, any help would be appreciate.
Cheers!!
are you lookin for freeware? b/c if NOT then spb phone suite has today screen components, 1 of which is like a button that displays a sub menu allowing you to turn phone, bluetooth, and wi-fi on/off and also flight mode. you can even tap and hold on each to access more options (ex: bluetooth modes, vibrate etc.) i dont want to sound like i'm selling this to you, but it's a great app. maybe the 1 app i install over every rom.
more info here
more screens here
search for a program called pockettoolman its freeware.
yeah freeware
Definately looking for a freeware to do this, not really wanting to pay for an icon on the today screen. I found this cab but can't get it to work looks like what I want but it don't work
HELP needed any good coders...............
I have found a quick launcher on the web with 5 icons to launch apps. Is there any coders out there that can manipulate this for me to 3 icons, bluetooth toggle on/off, wifi toggle on/off, and phone toggle on/off, justified to the left side of the today screen, again I am using an att 8525 with the att rom. Any help would be appreciated. thank you all in advance.
cheers,
attached is the cab for the quick launcher.
I am beating this to death
I am sorry to keep on with this, this is the last CAB that i will upload I really hope someone can help me with building what I want but til then this little plugin will suffice. Please try and help me with what I described above in the other posts. thanks.
the plugin you want CommCEntric v1.11 (hell I want it if someone can make it into a today plugin for pocket pc) is an xml file. unfortunately you need some type of a homescreen to view it. I dislike the homescreen concept because they take up so much space, but I love the look of comcentric)
hopefully anyone technically inclined can make it into a cab that will make it viewable on a pocket pc screen (not just smartphone)
CommCEntric v1.11, release date 2007/06/14

Has anyone figured out a way to make the commcentric app work for pocketpc??? Would love just to have the Bluetooth icon on home screen and be able to toggle just bluetooth on/off....any help here would be appreciate, basically bluetooth icon on the left with my calendar plugin showing up next to it on the right...
Cheers!
The easiest way to do this is to use cLaunch (http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html) which allows you put to icons onto your today screen. It's really configurable so you can just have a couple of icons, or your can have multliple tabs with many icons on. You need to play about with it to get it working how you want, but it'll do what you're looking for.
For the Bluetooth icon, here's a useful utility that toggles Bluetooth on and off without opening CommMgr. Copy it into Program Files on your phone and cLaunch should be able to see it so that you can have the bluetooth icon on your today screen.
An even simpler method is to stick BTSwitch in your Program Files and then map one of your soft buttons to it... No need to take up any screen real estate with pretty icons!!

HELP me
Where exactly do I navigate to to put the BTSwitch so I can map it to a button already on my phone, what a brilliant idea! Thanks, I just don't know what to do with it. I have placed it in several locations and went to map the button but can't find the file....I am dumb or am I missing soemthing.
Thanks and Cheers!

Sorry, should have been more specific!
Put the BTSwitch.exe file into Windows/Start Menu/Programs. You can then use the standard Settings > Buttons method to map one of the hardware buttons to the BTSwitch programme.
You can also map one of the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen, but will need a separate utility to do that... (eg Schap's Advanced Config : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070)
Also, have a look at these threads for other ways of changing your soft keys:

you should also look up a2dptoggle. it also automates turning on a2dp headset from today screen. a buzz kill to get to thru the menus
Hi,
I had the same question, and someone did answer what you and I where looking for.
It was answered by: slavik @ www.pocketpcfreak.com
The software is called: HTC BT Quicklink
His link was: http://rapidshare.com/files/42718525/HTC_BT_Quicklink.cab
There is no manual, but play with it and you will figure it out...
Good luck.
Hi, do you know if it is possible to add shortcuts to the quick settings notification bar menu ? (ie: such settings as "plane mode")
thanks
Nico
You would have to modify the SystemUI.apk and insert the code for every item manually.
Other than that it is not possible. There are some modified versions with more option though (RCMix has one)
yeah...thx the uP one
ok thanks for the answer;
Anyway, I found the QuickSettings app in the market, and even it is not native, it works
Bye
Nico
Hi All,
Have a Touch Pro 2, I think I need to flash my ROM as having some small issues right now (won't go into power save, just dims the screen. Keep getting data call disconnect messages even though I can browse web just fine)
On Verizon.
I would just install the standard MR3 ROM except for one problem - I HATE the Sense interface - I use the 6.1 interface for everything (on 6.5). From what I understand MR 2 and 3 remove the old fashioned 6.1 today screen.
My needs are pretty simple:
-The 6.1 style today screen
-Microsoft reader
-Opera browser
-POP email
-Active sync/direct push email (for work)
-Goggle Maps with GPS (been using Quick GPS)
-WiFi sharing (a big reason I'm not upgrading to Win7 or Driod)
-media player for the occasional podcast (downloaded with Opera)
-BattClock (great little battery bar add on)
-Awesome Start to get rid of the ridiculous honeycomb menu
-as a phone.
That's about it - I do use the built in zoom bar which works with the version of Opera in the ROM.
Is there a better ROM for me than MR1?
A final question - Can I unlock the phone and install just the radio update from MR3 without mucking up anything? Trying to get the 'fixs' of the ;atter MR's without the stupid restriction on the interface.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
Galaxy S2 (update: also Galaxy S3) has a feature that can read out name of people who are calling you, or who sends you a message, as it happens. It's called Driving Mode and can be accessed through the settings.
Have been looking for a stand alone widget for this for a long time but didn't find any. Hence I made one... a widget that allows you to switch Driving Mode on/off with a touch.
Attached herewith
Features -
1. Economic in space - smaller than VLingo driving widget, which takes up 1x3 blocks.
2. As you remove the last instance of the widget, the background service automatically unloads. Does not use up RAM unnecessarily if you don't plan to use it, even if you keep it installed.
3. Does not depend on VLingo Voice Commands, if you uninstall it you can still use this.
v1.2 (2012-07-12) -
Ability to control this with 3rd party apps like Llama using Intents.
New icon.
Download
It is recommended that you download the widget from an appstore like Google Play (links are below), so that you will get the automatic updates.
Google Play - Download free version from Google Play
Google Play (Donate) - Download the donate version from Google Play
Cheers
What's the difference between this and the voice widget which has driving mode on/off?
Edit: just re-read your post and noticed you wanted a stand alone widget. Installed your version and it's basic. Just a green light (on/off) which is quite handy and space saving. Especially for me on sslauncher where widgets can be placed anywhere.
Good stuff.

Yes... I uninstalled VLingo (or Voice Commands) since from time to time I would accidentally double tap the home button, and irrespective of the phone being in silent mode, there it would come - speaking aloud "What would you like to do?"
Unfortunately the widget in your screenshot also goes away if I uninstall vlingo. That's when I missed the driving mode widget... Well, not anymore
Thanks, will try....
Running nicely and found a spot for it in sslauncher. Thanks again!

A newbie question...can this widget be used on CM9? Does this widget request some Samsung framework to work?

I don't believe it will work on cm9 as the rom doesn't include driving mode.

I have easily installed in my Galaxy S II on other page, because home page is full and there is no space for the tinny green spot.
When driving mode is on, what can I profit ? What's the use of it ?
Many tks. for your efforts.
By the way, will it work on the coming 4.0 ?
does it support Hebrew language ?
Hi Hirak99,
Great replacement for that oversized Android widget! Thanks!!
A small question, I'm using Llama (location based profile switching) to automatically switch a number of things. I would like to automatically activate the driving mode (when my bluetooth carkit connects).
In order to automate the process Llama "activates" an Android intent.
Therefore I'm looking for the following info regarding your widget:
- Intent send mode: start activity, start service or broadcast?
- package name: com.arnab.drivingmode (?)
- class name: ?
- action: ?
For example: I had an app where only the "action" had to be filled in: "package name".widget.CLICK
If you don't mind I will inform the developer of Llama and maybe he will include the "drivingmode" intent in Llama.
Thanks in advance!

I like the description of Llama, will check it out myself.
Here's the source code I am using myself for the intent to be broadcast -
Intent intent = new Intent(context, DWidget.class);
intent.setAction("_click_handler");
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
So for Llama, you could try the following values -
1. Intentmode - Broadcast
2. Package - com.arnab.drivingmode
3. Class - N/A (broadcast intents should go to all classes)
4. Action - "_click_handler"
Note that
1) This will only toggle the driving mode. But if this works, I can modify it to listen to other intent actions to definitively turn on or off.
2) This will probably work only when the widget is shown. I have kept a count of number of widgets on display, and made the service unload if no widget is shown to release memory.
Just added new version - will automatically turn on driving mode as you connect to bluetooth taking your idea. You should see a toast confirming it when you connect to bluetooth, only if you are using the widget and the driving mode was off when you connect.
If you use it let me know your feedback
Many thanks!
Llama isn't responding to the command, now I've tried your new version instead.
It work perfectly without Llama!!

Great work and thank you.

Exactly what I want, exactrly how I dream it, simple and usefull.
Good work, recomended.
I don´t know why my dumbs devices always turn off the "Driving mode".

I noticed the this driving mode widget turn on the phone's ability to announce incoming caller and texted names but doesn't read the message aloud. On my Samsung epic Vlingo in driving mode would read the message body. Vlingo on the SII doesn't appear to do that? Is there anyway to have it do so? Just reading the sender isn't much use if I don't know what they sent

Yeah I'd like that too. Unfortunately this phone doesn't seem to support it. You can check all the options in Settings - Language and input - Text to speech - Driving mode options. Strangely enough the message readout option's description states that full messages are read, though it doesn't seem to happen.
Hey man, I was looking at your app and I find it awesome!! I have the Galaxy S3 (US Version) and it works like a charm through the widget. The problem is that the bluetooth portion doesn't work.
I would also like to be able to toggle this setting via Tasker, as someone tried earlier.
Do you know what the Action Intent or Component Intent should look like. I tried a bunch of combinations without any luck.
Hello Friends,
This is my first post on our beloved OPX forum and today i would like to contribute something back to this helpful community.
Over the years i have tried and used almost every mobile os there is (except for meego harmattan ) and one OS which i was particular fond of, was Blackberry OS 10.
Blackberry OS has some neat trick on its side.
One which is the most interesting is blackberry hub .
In case you are not familiar with it, Blackberry hub segregates all your notifications, emails, logs, messages and events in one centralized hub.
When i heard that blackberry apps of priv have been ported to other devices, i got really excited and started experimenting
and this thread is the result of my experimentation !
Requirements :
One Plus X with custom rom (Exodus 6.0 preferred)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/orig-development/rom-exodus-android-6-onyx-t3334247
Blackberry manager App.
(Attached below)
Layers theme - domination UI (grey accent)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.annihilation.domination
Smart launcher 3.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerfree
Smart launcher theme -black style.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.sltheme.example.BlackStyleAl
Procedure :
Start with installing layers and applying domination layers theme. this will give you unified black theme system wide
Install Blackberry manager and install blackberry services first.
(Things which are greyed out are not installed)
Note : For some reason blackberry services crash sometimes on lollipop versions (work flawlessly on 6.0 though).
Install blackberry hub , blackberry keyboard, contacts, calender and device search.
(Provide appropriate permissions to avoid unwanted crashes)
To get easy access to hub and universal search i replaced default on screen navigation buttons with them
(Check Screenshots !)
To replace them go to settings > swipe from left to access exodus menu > Interface > Navigation Bar > select editior tab and edit the buttons
For e.g select on back key > select short action (this will open up a shortcut menu) > select custom app/ action > applications and then select blackberry hub, device search and a app u use frequently
Modifying on screen button allows u to use them system wide (Takes a little time to get used to).
Install smart launcher 3 and apply the black style theme
(i chose black style cos it somewhat matches blackberry's tradition interface)
You can use blackberry launcher as well from blackberry manager app if it appeals you !
That's It !
Enjoy the blackberry experience on your One plus x
Screenshots !
Below are the Screenshots :
BlackBerry Hub is awesome!
(you might want to give @cobalt232 some credit for his work on the BlackBerry Manager app, and Hub etc... http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/run-blackberry-priv-apps-android-device-t3312797)
Hello. I am on Color OS ROM. I installed everything, works perfectly, just one question. I cannot find either in stock Color OS Launcher or in Blackberry Launcher how to swipe right to access the Blackberry HUB. Any ideas ?

In my experience with the BlackBerry Hub on Android phones, that swipe right to Hub isn't available. I suppose its part of the whole 'Peek & Flow' thing that's native to BlackBerry 10 OS
