Finally, the mod we've all been waiting for, a nice, convenient 3G/4G toggle for our beloved Gnex!

Thanks to Team Bamf for this mod :)

Description

This is a stand-alone Sense like LTE toggle based off of the one I wrote for the HTC Thunderbolt. It should work on any custom ROM as long as they are using the default signing keys. If it does not show installed after flashing, you will need the ROM developer to re-sign the apk with their keys for it to work.

This is in beta release right now. If there are any issues, let me know.


Notes:
  • Do not use the menu accessed from *#*#4636#*#* (it's not intended for use anyhow). This widget uses a mode that will crash that menu. You can use the one in Phone settings under Wireless and Networks instead.
  • Switching between network modes takes some time
  • Make sure you have an LTE signal when using the toggle else it may get stuck in LTE only mode (this will be remedied in a future release)
  • The widget is locked while the animation is on because it is in the middle of toggling
Just download the zip to your phone and flash it with ClockworkMod Recovery. Once you reboot, it'll show up in your widget list ;)

I would prefer something more integrated with the OS like a toggle in the notification panel, but this should do until something like that is integrated into the ROMs.
