Looking for good data switching widgets

[ericbro]

On my HTC EVO 4G I had separate widgets to a) turn on/off airplane mode, b) turn on/off 3G (when I wanted to save battery), c) turn on/off 4G (when I temporarily needed speed). Also switches to turn on/off wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS. I never thought about where they came from, but I guess they were widgets available from HTC. I'd like to find similar controls, but can't seem to find anything good. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but I use Widgetsoid to control those things.

I use better battery guru From snapdragon. They have a data on off widget that I use.

Notification Toggle:

but these are not widgets. They are placed on the pull down menu.

This is my notification screen with my power toggles on it. Make any toggle and put them here or on your home screens, or both

You can also put app shortcuts in the Power Toggles bar as well. Since the KitKat launcher on the Nexus 5 no longer has the Play Store shortcut in the App Drawer view, I placed a Play Store shortcut in my Power Toggles notification bar.

Huh?

so you guys don't find the two-finger swipe quick settings any useful?

Huh?

Sorry, I was wondering if that might be confusing. On other devices like my Nexus 7, there's a shortcut to the Play Store at the upper right when you open the App Drawer. With the exclusive KitKat interface on the Nexus 5 (the "Google Experience Launcher"), there is no longer a Play Store shortcut up in the corner of the App Drawer screen. I always like to conserve homescreen real estate, so I usually relied on that App Drawer shortcut to get to the Play Store easily, rather than place a separate shortcut on the homescreen. On my Nexus 5, since that corner shortcut is gone, I instead added a Play Store shortcut to the Power Toggles Notification that I placed in the Notification Shade--so to get to the Play Store easily, I just swipe down and tap it.

Hmm, that still seems confusing.:-\

The two-finger swipe can sometimes be a little finicky. You also can't customize it. And the wi-fi toggle requires a long-press, since a short-tap brings you to the wi-fi menu.
