Root Smoda widget :-))))

[ACD168]

So, I know CM6 came out with a widget to toggle 3g which is awesome!!!

But I am currently using Sky Raider 2.5 Vanilla and there was no way to do this buy a toggle widget, for free anyway. (I don't think I need to pay $ for something that should have come with the software anyway.)

after many downloads and failures, I found this widget called SMODA.


I'm sorry if this has been covered or if no one simply cares, but I was ecstatic about this as I don't have great 3g if any in my house and this is a life saver, not too mention much easier than holding down the power button..

now does it toggle 3g to 1x or does it toggle data ?

 

[ACD168]

it turns off the 3g, so like you can't use it. the same way it would on a sense rom by holding the power button and turning it off. (so whichever category that falls under lol I'm confused by all that other stuff.

Ok so it turns off Data.

On GSM phones there are toggels that will turn off just 3g so you are basically using 2g only, saves power but at the same time you can still get data just much slower

Do you have wireless at home? If you do, just use that, it uses it instead of the 3g connection.. Saves a ton of battery on my Inc...

have you eve heard of root?

vanilla roms cant use htc toggle widgts

I wonder why this thread is under ROM section.

its in this sections as it doesnt apply to people without root...

 

[heffe2001]

Should be one level up though, in the Root section, not in teh rom section.

 

[ACD168]

i put it in the rom sections because some roms dont have the option..

From what I can remember, even without root, if you use launcher pro instead of htc sense, you can't use any widget to toggle 3G, for free anyway. why are you so upset with it being in this section anyway, I have my reasons, and unless you are a mod, just report it to one, and they can decide ya know.

I'm not 'worried' about it being here, I just made an observation based on what you posted above. I don't ever turn off the 3g on my phone, I just use the available wifi connections around me, and it seems to keep my battery usage down even in low-signal areas. Without my Femtocel at home, and without being connected to my wifi, I can kill a full battery in a couple hours just sitting on the desk in my basement easily. With my wifi on, and the femtocel up and running, I dropped about 18-19% in around 10 hrs this past weekend, both saturday & sunday.

Also note, I'm not saying there's no use for this app, I just don't need it. Just be glad you didn't post it int he dev forums over at Xda, you'd be sporting a freshly chewed-off rear (they're unforgiving over there, lol).
