Toggle Bluetooth / Toggle WiFi

chas123 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-01-2009, 06:09 PM

I was looking around for this and couldn't find it so I made a cab. The exe is stripped from something else so the shortcut points to a shell dll for the Icon. Let me know if it doesn't show up right in the start menu. It did in mine.

EDIT: See post #14 for WiFi toggle

Does this make a softkey toggle on the home page? What does it do?

yes a shortcut to toggle your bluetooth from your start menu...OR more importantly directly from your home screen if you're using TF3D2.5 (quick links on the HOME SCREEN!!!)

The icons comes out perfect! Thnx OP!!!

Works great!!! Thanks given!!!

Before I had Comm Manager as a quick link which reqired 3 clicks to turn on BT... Now I can toggle BT on/off with one click...

Thanks again!!!

Anyone know of a matching utility to toggle WiFi?

Go for it. Remeber to look at the shortcut though. It points to shellres.192.dll for the icon.

The simplest method of a one button press to toggle Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is to simply re-map hardware button presses with tarkim's Rhodium Keyboard Controller:

I've created extra maps for long key presses with the front HOME button to toggle Wi-Fi and the BACK button for Bluetooth. I've also reassigned a single key press of the Telus keyboard mail button to be the CTRL key and a single press of the front BACK button to launch the task switcher TaskFacade4:

(sorry.....no embedded links from me yet....an immature PPCGeeks member)

Remapping keys avoids the need to run extra apps to do what the OS can do natively. tarkim's util also has the option to save/restore keyboard profiles in an XML format to simplify resetting up your device with a new ROM.

Perhaps, but that's not what I'm looking for. I have no desire to slide open the keyboard and press things. I just want a quick icon that I can tap (say, from my Start menu or the Programs tab) to toggle Wi-Fi, just as chas123's little utility does for Bluetooth.
