wifi activation via hard/softkey

hey hey,
i'm using a sense 2.1 rom (gen.y d2 r5.3 - thanks man, nice work ) and i wonder wether there is a way to map a soft/hardkey to activate/deactivate wi-fi without taking all the way through the comm manager or the wi-fi settings.
would be magnificent since i frequently switch wi-fi on and off and it's kinda annoying the regular way
thanks a lot

Trying to do the same thing, I found this:
Touch X reset and wifi.cab -adds shortcuts for quick reset and WiFi on/off, nice to have on new program tab..

I'm not sure if it will work on sense 2.1, but on sense 2.5, it adds a toggle, with work similary to a application shortcut, appart from that it doesn't launch anything, it just toogles the wifi on and off.
Smabergs list of [Sense 2.5 tweaks & mods] [CABS] contains a lot useful stuff for sense 2.5 (though not all of it works on the diamond), I suspect that some if it might work on the 2.1 too

thanks. I was looking for something similar!
I'd like to ask another thing. Is there a way to make the diamond search for a wifi connection before connecting to the gprs internet? In other words, when a connection is needed it should switch on the wifi radio (if it is off) instead of searching a gprs connection.
Do you think it's possible?

sorry for me taking so long.
well, yeah, thanks man! that was exactly what i was looking for.

To use Hardware buttons for switching wifi on/off I use AEButton plus (use forum search). A very nice pieco of software
I have Wifi on/off on long press volume down and bluetooth on/off on long press volume up.

[Q] Simple one-touch data toggle?

Hi guys...
I have been using dataswitch previously on my Captivate and Optimus 2x.
However it doesn't seem to be working at all on the sgs2
Any other data enabler/widget/ apn switch that works without problems?
I've tried "data enabler widget" and it seems to work half the time, while killing off my data abruptly often.
Any advice?

If want to toggle mobile data, Tasker works. Also, the Cognition ROM has a mobile data toggle on the status bar.

I actually haven't rooted my device. Don't see the need for root yet.
Seems fine working with stock unrooted.

I am using APN onnoff

im using apndroid for that purpose.

What we need is a 3 position widget:
- off
- auto
- 2g only
Data connection on/off is only 50% of the job. Why have a separate toggle for 3G when it can be integrated.
Similar to the stock brightness widget button:
- 0%
- 50%
- 100%
- Auto

it seems like widgetsoid offers what you are looking for, but unfortunately in 3 seperate buttons:
Data - Enable/disable Data (2 way to do this + 1 way for root).
2G/3G - Sortcut to mobile network settings.
4G - Enable/disable 4G (WIMAX).
i havent tested it, but maybe you want to look at it.

Switchpro widget.

But holding the Power Button already comes with an option to turn the Data Off

I'm using data enabler widget from farproc now.
Seems to be ok. but it's kinda buggy at times.

How to achieve these customizations?

Verizon S5 with towelroot, Safestrap, nandroid backup, Titanium Backup, Xposed, Wanam
I've made some progress debloating and customizing, but there are some more things I'd like to do:
1. Remove Quick Settings from notification panel - In landscape view, there is simply not enough screen real estate for the actual notifications because the Quick Settings (and 'clear notifications' row) take up half the screen. I would like to remove them or have them scroll up and off screen when scrolling through notifications. Can this even be done with a custom ROM?
2. Tether without pin lock screen. [updated] FoxFi worked fine for me unrooted, except that I had to use the PIN lockscreen. The instruction on PdaNet's site (change certificate to Wi-fi, etc.) did not work. I eventually found X Tether. Once installed, it shows up as Moto Tether. It seems to allow the native WiFi hotspot to work on its own, but I haven't used it much yet. The easiest way I have found to turn it on/off, is using a widget. I haven't been able to put the widget in an app folder, which I would prefer.
3. Minimal notification panel - figured this one out.
4. Bypass Samsung lockscreen before DynamicNotifications - Not sure if this is possible. Sometime, when I turn the phone on, it goes to the stock lock screen before switching to DynamicNotifications. I saw that DynamicNotifications shows up as a module in Xposed, but it just said something about disabling a message that I don't recall getting.
5. A better dialer and contacts - any recommendations on getting solid, vanilla-like Dialer and Contacts? I tried a couple apps from the Play Store, but they were kind of sloppy in one way or another.
6. No auto play music when turning on radio in car - When I turn on my bluetooth receiver in the car, the last track always starts playing - even if I paused it before I turned off the car last. I kind of wish it would only continue playing if it was playing when the receiver was disconnected. Not a big deal, but thought I'd ask.
7. Update phone when checking exchange emails on computer - When I read, archive, delete, etc. emails in Outlook, they continue to pile up in Email app until I open the email app. Seems like my Galaxy Nexus didn't do that.
8. Remove TouchWiz blue from everything - all the menus and apps still have that Samsung blue theme. I'm not sure how to remove that.
9. Reduce icons on notification bar - I would like to remove the Bluetooth icon. There is a blank icon when I use Rotation Locker in the background to keep everything landscape while I'm in the car. It looks bad having the space between icons and I'd like to get rid of it. There is a battery icon that appears when the battery is charged. I'd like to remove that as well.
10. Make folders only one icon on display - figured this one out.
11. Remove battery icon that appears when S5 is fully charged - There is a white battery with "100" on it that appears when the battery is charged. That makes 3 battery icons total when it's charged. Ridiculous!
12. Disable camera shutter sound and boot sound - Wanam has a setting for this. I have it checked, but the camera and boot still make their sounds.
Edit: added another.
Edit2: and another
Edit3: another

Do you really think what I am asking is too unreasonable?

Is this the best thread for these questions? I figured at least a few would have gotten answers.

Not sure about the boot sound but I use Automateit to silence the shutter sound. I have it set to silence the phone when opening the camera and then it returns the phone to full volume when I close it. If the phone is on silent it doesn't make the shutter sound.

Yeah, I guess I'll just use Tasker to do that. Would be nice if the Wanam option worked though.

Also you can turn off the percentage in settings-battery. It's near the top

I guess I don't see XDA as a place to come and post a wish list of features I would like to have. I approach it as a place where devs share their work. I limit my questions to things like 'does anyone know if their is a ROM that does xy or z'
Since I'm an end-user by which I mean I don't code, I stay super respectful of those who do and live by the motto 'read more and post less'. While I think it has grown from its roots, it is first and foremost a forum for devs and technically knowledgeable people, and/or people with a genuine desire to become that. I'm just a guest. I'd never go to someone's party with a list of the foods I want prepared.
Anyway that's how I see it, and how I approach the site.
Though I do see now that apparently you are working on doing some themeing so take the above for whatever it is worth.

That's essentially what I did. I spent time searching, reading, and learning as far as I could without help. I was able to accomplish some on my own, but I ended up with a list of things I still wanted to do. So, I put them all in one post.
If you wouldn't use the "Q&A/Help" section to post questions like I do, that's fine. I have used many forums for many years, and I know that different people use them for a variety of reasons. I'm not going to spend any more time justifying my post. I hope that you can find a better use of your time beyond complaining about other people's posts.

Dude you asked if you you had asked for too much. I replied about how 'I' view being on XDA. No on asked you to justify anything. But consider it dropped.

I eventually found X Tether. Once installed, it shows up as Moto Tether. It seems to allow the native WiFi hotspot to work on its own, but I haven't used it much yet.

I was able to change the lock screen options back to all being available for selection with FoxFi in use by doing the Lock the phone from Device Manager on Google. As soon as I did the remote lock, all of my lock screen options returned even with FoxFi installed and operational. I read about doing this on another post here somewhere...

Getting Hotspot on notification bar

Can someone help please. A simple thing but annoying the hell out of me. I've enabled System UI Tuner. But still can't customise the bar. At quick settings. I can see the hotspot button but it won't let me turn it on or anything. I can't see it in my notification bar.Its definitely not hidden in the status bar. So unsure what the problem is. Can someone help. Thanks

have you tried to use it? i've found in the past that hotspot does not show in settings until you've used it at least once.

No mobile data toggle tmo

In s7 edge t mobile version there is no data toggle in notification panel.
We have to go all the way back to settings to turn it on.
Since the root is achieved is there any way to bring back the toggle???
Thanks

Should be able to decompile the system ui and activate it.

Install Good Lock from the galaxy store. No root required.

Tmo bastards removed it.. I've asked @jds3118 to put this feature in his Echoe rom(btw check it out it's great). I'm an optimist that we will have this feature soon enough!

Just curious
What is the reason you would like a data toggle? Do you roam around in the mountains? I just turn the phone off when I'm in the remote places of the world. But mostly, I just use wifi at home which shuts down data, and when I leave house turn off wifi, which enables data and allows me to use my android radio and maps and stream. So what is the reason for a switch, I have a widget set that includes that switch, I'll check for you to find which one it is but I think it is called Beautiful widgets, or it may be in Fancy widgets. I use to use that switch all the time back many years ago but find no reason to use it anymore.

Is there any way for non rooted phone.????
I do use good lock but i dnt like stock android look i prefer touchwiz ui..
I always switch btwn data and wifi whole day...so i need that toggle in notification panel

Check out what I did here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjwbs8qwd2o this is the closest I have got with out root. it works pretty well.

ok guys i have a trick not original but it does give faster access to data toggler not on the notification bar but on home screen i came up with this after reading this tread=
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/built-caller-id-hidden-t3357996[/url] for the incoming caller ID hack. well with that app i did a data search look for phone com.android phone then you click on it to branch it then tap on mobile data then create short cut and bingo no more clicks after clicks then i found a image of a setting with the data toggler image took a picture of it edit it to smaller size and swap it with the phone image like i said not perfect but it will do for me. hope this help others her is image of it maybe somebody can make a nicer data icon image been this thread was all ready started i didn't want to start a new one

Or use good lock and enable quick settings tab.

GOOD LOCK is not just a lock screen like I thought.
IT GIVE YOU MOBILE DATA QUICK TOGGLE
the default them looks CRAPPY AS all can be, see my screen shots after I changed it.
I'm a happy camper

Mobile data toggle is absent in nougat too for tmo...i wrote suggestion to add the toggle.. and also good lock is not present in nougat...

Isn't there any other method like to edit some Xml files in order to see the toggle? This is a carrier 'feature' and I think is not that hard to enable it, if you know where to look...
Anybody?

I have Nougat on my Moto Z. The notification shade has 2 positions, 1) partly down, and 2) all the way down. I placed the Cellular Data icon in the first row. When I pull the notification shade down once (i.e. part way down) and double click on the Cellular Data icon, it toggles Cellular Data on and off.

You will need root otherwise cant do this. You need to edit the others.xml file in System/CSC on your device. When you open the others.xml you will see the csc code. Edit the line that says ConfigDefQuickSettingItem and add MobileData on the end. After editing make sure to set permissions if they changed to 644. I used root explorer to do all this. After editing the CSC go into settings, general then reset settings on your device. When it reboots go to edit the quick setting icons and the Mobile Data Icon will be there.

Thanks Naruto. But do you know, is it possible to root Android Nougat?

What is the reason for needing a mobile data toggle? At idle, phones do not consume alot of data. An unlimited plan can be had on this device for $65 with Cricket. Even without unlimited, I do not understand the need for the toggle? In what instance would you like the mobile data turned off?

It will never happen unless they do like they did for the S5. Flash back to MM, install flashfire, then flash a N rom. I doubt there will ever be a N root. Plus its new, even if there was, it would be months from now until it would happen.

I want to turn off data when I do not need it. I do the same with the WiFi. It is not related to my data plan but to the battery life I have which is very poor.
Disabled most of the bloatware and still get 2-3 h of SOT maximum.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Do you use snapchat and facebook? I hear those destroy your battery. Can you post a screenshot of your battery usage by app? Im sure the people here will know exactly what it is. I can leave my data on and only lose 4 percent overnight in 7.5 hours just idle with data on.
