Toggle Bluetooth / Toggle WiFi
 

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

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

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

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

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!!!

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

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!!!

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

Awesome.....this is what I have been looking for. Thanks a ton! Works great!!!!

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

Anyone know of a matching utility to toggle WiFi?

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

Hey thank you, just what I have been needing also. Hope you don't mind, I plan to convert this to an ext and include in next posting of my rom.:thumbleft:
Sprint Mustang/Timberwolf671 Theme Sense 2.5 23518 rom

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

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.

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

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.

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

Try this. Let me know if the icon comes out alright.

Edit: see post #14

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

The icon's gorgeous. Clicking it results in an error message (no certificate or missing component).

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

I got lazy. I should have tested it first lol. I'll have it fixed in a minute

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

This one works for me. Uninstall the other one first, and keep in mind this will only work properly when you are not synced up to a PC.

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

Perfect!

Thanks a lot.

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

In my previous post I only added a few examples of the ability to ALSO remap the sliding keyboard keys.

It may be exactly what you are looking for as you have four EXTREMELY accessible FRONT hardware keys. Simply map a long button press to one (the back button for me) to toggle the bluetooth on or off.

...a front button = less steps than searching for an icon through screens of your phone. It'll mean that you may toggle the bluetooth from within whatever app you are running. Assigning a long button press to the front HOME or BACK keys will not alter a thing from stock settings, as per default they have no long holding assignments.

Re: Toggle Bluetooth
 

I'm glad you know what I want and need better than I do.

Look, it's fine that you're enthusiastic about remapping keys, but I'm setting up a phone for someone (my wife) who's never going to remember key mappings. She needs an icon that says exactly what it does. For example, she kept putting her phone in airplane mode by forgetting that the long end key was mapped to that. Only by setting it to ask what she wanted each time she did a long press did that stop.

For my own purposes, it's handy to have those links sitting on my start menu and in my Programs tab as that's quicker than going through Settings or the Comm Manager. I'm not really interested in remapping keys at this point, whether they're on the keyboard or the face of the device.

Thanks, though.

](*,)No call for snarkiness to me upon your error.

Blah.....I was quite concise when corrected you for what "MAY" work for you. Polite and non-absolutist language. I only offered friendly suggestions to CORRECT your misinterpretation that my original advise required opening up the keyboard.

...it may not work for you, but others reading this thread may have found the simple mapping of unused front of the device keys to be the best solution to toggle or activate regularly used functions/apps.

Re: Toggle Bluetooth / Toggle WiFi
 

lets just be nice to each other...considering that this is a very helpful thread to many. I have tried and used ALL methods mentioned in the thread...and they all have their merits.

I have mapped my BT toggle and WiFi toggle to double clicks on my front keys (windows and the back key) and have worked very well.

I also had the BT toggle installed for quick links (using manila 2.5) that works well too...I know its redundant...but I had actually found situations where each is better served.

Re: Toggle Bluetooth / Toggle WiFi
 

Perfect! exactly what i was looking for thanks very much chas :headbang:

Re: Toggle Bluetooth / Toggle WiFi
 

Excellent!!!!!!!

Re: Toggle Bluetooth / Toggle WiFi
 

thanks for these very useful shortcuts..good work. could you please post up an icon for data disconnect? that would be very handy for me as well.

Re: Toggle Bluetooth / Toggle WiFi
 

Again Excellent!!!! The only possible suggestion I could make would be if the icon changed color with the status.

Thanks again.

Re: Toggle Bluetooth / Toggle WiFi
 

This app sounds great. Tried installing it on my HTC Touch Pro 2 with windows mobile 6.5 and I get a message that it is not signed with a trusted certificate. Is there anything I need to do to get it working.

Thanks.
