Can I move GPS to homepage?

[paker]

Currently, Settings > Location > Turn on GPS.

On my 2 previous phones (differnt makers, different android versions), I had GPS on the drape window (correct wording?) that pulls down from the top menu bar.

Thanks.

It's called the notification bar, in case you want to ask anything else in future

Try putting a shortcut on your home screen:

Long press an empty space on the home screen
Select 'Apps and widgets'
Select widgets tab/section at the top
Browse until you get to 'Settings Shortcut'
Press and hold the setting shortcut, dragging it onto your homescreen
A list will show, select 'Location Services'

The above works on Samsung Galaxy phones running the stock ROM, so it depends what phone/ROM you're using. Feel free to ask any other questions and I'll try help

... I had GPS on the drape window ...

I like that. Sure you can call it the pull-down notification bar, but "drape window" is perfectly descriptive in a creative way that's fun ... fun is good.

I'd like to see an app that modifies the drape window/notification bar into a roll-up/down shade that when flipped up, will snap and roll several times with sound like in the old Laurel and Hardy movies.

You might consider GPS Notification in the Play Store.

You can Use EasyGPS to back up and organize your GPS data, print maps, or load new waypoints onto your GPS for your next hike or geocaching adventure.

Another good option is Power Toggles (free & no adds). It lets you set up widgets with up to 8 settings toggles on your notifications bar or home page.
