location setting on today screen

Hey guys, quick question.....i was wondering if anyone knew how to have location setting listed on the today screen. I know have seen some custom roms do this so i know that it should be able to be done via a reg edit or cab. If anyone can help i greatly appreciate it. Thank you

There are several others, but that's the first result from a google search.

kinda but there was a way to actually put location setting on the today screen. I saw it in a custom rom (unfortunately since i flash roms a lot i cant remember who/which one had it) I have tried the one above and some similar ones but to me they are not working (either not VGA or i need to have location setting turned on then have that program turned off, etc) Any ideas?

I was curious why you even need this. You do understand that when you enable it, it doesn't turn it on. It will only turn on when you open a gps program, so why not just leave it enabled? Just wanted to make sure you u knew that. I looked real quick and couldn't find what you're talkin about. sorry

To my understanding (from reading different posts) that by having it disabled will save battery (i also notice that a lot of the custom roms i download have it turned off from start). Because of this i would leave it off and when i do decide to use GPS (it isnt always but enough times that i dont want to go thru the steps of going thru the steps thru the phone setting to turn it on and off) i could just go to the today screen and turned it on/off there. thanks for your help though.
