I have a n00b-like question, and I am ashamed.
In apps, for many of the current roms, there is a "Power Control Widgets Config" app.
WTF does it do?
I would have thought that it would change settings in the "Power Control" android widget, but it does Nothing for me...
Or perhaps in the notifications dropdown settings? Nope, not there either.
I've never seen it do a damn thing.
What critical piece of obvious information am I missing?
Flame away.

I think it may actually be a widget. I haven't seen it in a rom, but it could be. Try long pressing it on a home screeen and see if anything happens.

That app works for me. It is to configure certain settings in the notification toggle Widgets. I use it to set the sound to do silent/vibrate/sound. I also set the flashlight to normal with that, and also the brightness settings.

Ah! Indeed sir, you are correct.
Since my dropdown does not have the brightness toggle, I did not make the connection. But since I was able to change the toggle color, I can see that this does indeed config that feature.
Is this a scenario where I have to be editing some .txt file to change the toggles?

Yes, exactly. If you wanted to use the brightness toggle, or any toggle, you'd need to edit the widget.txt file (if you're on sense). If you add the brightness.toggle, and the flashlight toggle, then the app will configure how those toggles act for you.

Is there any place to change what options are on the Power Control widget? I've found settings to be kind of a pain on this phone so far...
I was having problems setting up Google Voice to control my voice messages. I kept getting "network is not currently supported for automatic set up". All I wanted to do is find where in the settings menu the Voicemail setting was...Why did they hide it in with the "Phone" app rather then in the actual phone settings menu? Took so long to figure that one out lol...
Yeah moving the voicemail was kind of silly. You can customize whats on the power widget by using a app named Widgetsoid.
https://market.android.com/details?...rch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5qaW0yIl0.
No really, not a different customizable widget...
Is there a way to change the settings on an already configured Power control widget?
I used to go about adding a new widget and deleting the old one, but that gets tedious.
I thought I found the existing widget settings somewhere when I updated to cm7.2 but now I cannot for the life of me find it ANYWHERE
I just want to choose different brightness toggles, but I do not want to go through all of the data / wifi / sync combos again...

I'm on Verizon and it doesn't support automated setup but when I clicked the help it told me to dial *something and that fixed it right up.

Just use something like widgetsoid. The stock Power Control widget has its 5 toggles and can't be changed.
Answered my question!

Thank you for the answer to my question.. I wish the setting could be changed so you didn't have to install another widget control bar.
Question #2: Is it safe to remove the Original Power Control widget .apk so I can get rid of unused apps?
Thanks!

How do you make a shortcut to the WiFi settings on the desktop? In the other Android, we were able to make shortcuts to any setting, was that removed in ICS?

Go to widgets.There is a widget called Settings shortcut.Move it to your homescreen and you are going to have the menu of available settings.The last one is Wifi

Oh, so that's how it's done now. THANKS!
Hmmm, I noticed that there are no "direct" shortcuts available anymore, is this true?
Kinda sucks cuz I use Simi Clock and wanted the battery launcher to open up the Battery Setting screen.
I use widgetsoid to add toggles to the notification bar, which will also launch wifi settings directly when pressed. (or any other setting you want) it has a widget too.

tons of 3rd party apps that also do this and a better job also

How, without root / flash?
I use Notification Toggle: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
I think it's the best one because of its customization options and the fact that I can download stock ICS icons for it. Plus, you can add apps (free, included in app) and shortcuts ($0.99 add-on). Like I have the shortcut for my AudioManager Pro Profile list in there and an icon that runs the Lockscreen app (saves pressing the power button to shut the screen off).
I'm not rooted. The only useful thing root would give me is the ability to directly toggle GPS rather than having to go to the settings page, but considering I almost always leave GPS on, I don't really care about that.

+ 1 for that......im using too and it is awesome.....
elixir2 does this also...
I also prefer Notification Toggle over Widgetsoid. Stock icons and the ability to always have it at the top of the notification screen. My only complaint is that it's a little laggy when tapping thru the brightness settings.
I use AoKp to do this without using a app....:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

If only I liked AOKP. *sigh*
Thanks for the recommendations, shall have to try these, because besides themes, the notification pulldown with a plethora of settings to play with are what I miss most from MIUI builds on the HD2.

Much easier to install a custom rom than an app right? lol
Anyway, +1 for Notification Toggle. I was using Extended Controls for it but Notification Toggle is much better since it stays on top of other notifications and it also replaces the Battery Widget that I was using to display the battery % in the bar.
so have any of these been updated so that i don't have a constant icon running in my notification bar? i don't know why but that's a dealbreaker for me.
btw, i'm not rooting yet until CM9. temporary solutions without the annoying notification icon?
Thanks OP
Forgot about widgetsoid and how awesome it is. Between this and Nova launcher gestures I now have the perfect setup for my home screen because of this.
Swipe up - brings up the app drawer
Swipe down - brings down the notifications
Home button press while on the homescreen - brings up voice search
Any idea how to change the colour of the battery icon in the status bar using the Notification Toggle app? I want to change it to ics blue.

+1 on this. What's worse is they'll give the option for no icon, but then it just leave a blank spot in the notification bar.............
That's a limitation of Android, so until Google offers a better way, that's how it has to be.

Hi all.
I am at a loss. Running AOKP (4.0.4) with Nova Launcher. Out of nowhere yesterday, this Power control widget decided to add itself to the notification area. I dont even know how it got there and sure as hell dont know how to get it off of there. I know you can add it to one of the screens but did not know it can be added in that area. Does anyone have any idea where this setting is if it exists? I would like to know how to get rid of it before reflashing the ROM.
I know there is another set of toggles you can add which I had but then I was stuck with 2 power control widgets in the notification area. Thanks.
Try touching the settings button in your notification area
I did but then it adds or deleted another set of toggles on top of that one lol

In your app drawer find "Power Controls" and Uncheck the checkmark in the Notifications widget box, and press the pin button to turn it off in the accessibility menu.
Or
Uninstall the entire app

Thanks, man. That did it. I realized that I hid the app. Once I unhid it and unchecked that checkmark, it went away.

I know. I used Nova in the past. I thought maybe they just added this recently.
its a app named power control.
Can we do toggles?
Like for example.. lets just say a wifi toggle.. I have an image in which I would like to put it at opacity of 65 and when I tap on it to turn it on. it will become an opacity of 100..
Are there any threads that teach how to do it?

This is only possible if you have Tasker. Zooper currently has no built-in function for this.
I think there was a tutorial on Zooper/Tasker integration but I'll have to look that up. If there is not, I'll put in on my (ever growing) Todo list.
Actually you can. This is what makes Zooper so good, much better than the other custom widget app.
Insert your bitmap and set the opacity to 65
In the advanced parameters enter
For wifi connected
Code:
$#NWSTATE#=2?[bo]100[/100]$
For wifi on but NOT connected
Code:
$#NWSTATE#=1?[bo]80[/100]$
change the value between [bo] to your desired opacity

Yes, that would work to display the current state of wifi but his question was if he can do an actual toggle that switches the state of the wifi when touched (and then display it). That is currently not natively possible in Zooper.

Oops, you're right. Zooper cannot toggle any settings. You will need another app to do that function.
billab0n6 - you can use an wifi shortcut app and link to it from Zooper's ontap action. I'm not sure how to use Tasker but Trigger (aka NFC Task Launcher) can create shortcuts.

Tasker works really well, when you know how to set it up right. I already used it in my setups
Tasker seems very very complicated to use.. I do know seeing them in the forums.. alot of advanced users are using them but from the way I see them talk about it.. it seems quite hard to set it up. .. sigh

You can also use More shortcuts by chYK - available on play store - just link to it in on tap shortcuts. Hope this is helpful to you.
