Power Toggles for Android
Note: Many toggle (GPRS, NFC, AirplaneMode...) are not working on Lollipop even with root. This is a known issue. I am still looking for a fix.

Please go through the Help and FAQ section in the app (fully searchable) twice before reporting a bug, most likely it is already answered there.
It is difficult for me to reply to each email individually, some of the emails may get lost in the huge list of unread mails. If you do not get a reply within a week, ping me again.
We REALLY need to be able to add icon scaling. Currently on a widget with say 6 icon or so you have two,options. Normal or HUGE both of which are either too small or too big and won't match your home screen icons so the widget looks crappie. Please ad this feature....it's been age as since a decent update. Also some toggles stay on or off if you toggle it from the pull down,or from settings..that's a bummer and needs fixed. It's been like that for a couple years still.
I use the notification (& lock screen) widget dozens of times a day and have on every device since making the switch to Android several years ago. It's worked perfectly through each new OS version, and I truly can't imagine my phone without it. This is the first utility I download after getting a new device. I'd gladly pay for it, but (amazingly) it's free with no ads. What's not to love?
Didn't find the need for this before as Android had quick toggles, and the idea of adding a notification to use it drew me away. Now with Marshmallow and the app having been updated, this is no longer a concern as the app allows the creation of custom tiles be integrated into the stock quick settings section. This is a killer feature as the app now feels like it's part of the system itself and not having its own notification removes clutter.
But I didn't find the Data Usage Toggle if its there.....and would u please can create an option to choose from notification or hovering screen with floating button cuz I like this as it is in apus, they can hold much bigger no of toggles without closing your current Activity from recent app list or pausing it
I love this app it works amazingly for almost all the toggles on my galaxy s4 I545. The only toggle, to me the most important one, that does not work is the wifi hotspot toggle. When i click on it to turn the hotspot on or off it will switch to waiting than sit there for a couple minutes and finally go back to the off symbol. I have email the makers of the app to see what they say but once they fix this problem I will give this app 5 stars I would give it 10 stars if I could.
I love this widget and would given it 5 stars except for one small bug I've noticed. I use a Nexus 5X running Marshmallow 6.0.1 and I've noticed that if I change the state of something that I have a Power Toggles button for (e.g., WiFi) outside of the widget (i.e., in Settings) then the Power Toggles button won't toggle. What I mean is, if I have WiFi on, then turn it off via Settings, the Power Toggles widget will still show the WiFi button as on. Fix this bug, and the rating goes up to 5 stars!
I love this app. Using this in conjunction with Smart Task Launcher makes my smart phone very functional yet minimalistic. I use this app mainly to create folders. Yes you can put apps, shortcuts, and toggles into the folder. However the app tends to only present the toggle functionality on Playstore. It is also works with Tasker. Plus there is a nice little open animation for the folders. Really like it and I haven't had any issues.
Can you make the rotation toggle have these 3 states: auto-rotate, lock in portrait mode and LOCK IN LANDSCAPE MODE. This will be very useful to people who want to lock their screen orientation while watching videos.
This little app is the cat's pajamas! Mr. "No ads" up there wrote that it was 'intuitive'. Hmmm. I guess some people can't be helped, lol. I would love to know where I can read more about it's more advanced capabilities. I understand that this and another app called 'Tasker' can do everything together, short of washing your dishes.
Edit with new phone - the hotspot toggle no longer works on Verizon note 5. Can you please fix for donation ??? Thank you dev !! One of the most useful and best. Makes my home screen perfect. Bump on this. No response to dev. . Temp workaround: I found anothet app: tethering shortcut by kabasoft. Just add this app to the power toggle bar and it goes right to the hotspot toggle screen for the Samsung note 5. Then you can flip it on.
samsung deleted UI Tuner utility option from Android so this programme will not work in such a case. if you are lucky and have UI Tuner then this app is top notch, that is why i am giving 4 stars even though it didnt help my case.
Everythng working fine up to now except icon and bar size control. Rather than having only 2 options as "Full height, Huge Icon " in the style control if you can add few different sizes it will be perfect. Good job :)
I'm amazed at the amount of sliders this widget puts one click away, at your finger tips: I have never seen a button in Android that could lock my screen to landscape, set my timeout ludicrously high or turn my screen full white. And also, has customization options that make it classy as hell. I approve.
This is a tremendous app. Allows you to toggle basically anything on your Android. There are only 2 things I wish it could do: 1) Allow more notification toggle bars, and 2) Make the Mobile Hotspot toggle work. I can only get it to turn off, not on.
This app is awesome. I suggest you should provide a one click screenshot button to the quick settings and notification bar too. And not all my widgets are visible in custom toggle. It is also preferably to addd phone temperature as an option to date, battery level.
This is such a stellar application. So much so that I'm a bit mad at myself for having forgotten it. A lot of modification options, which is crucial for a tinkerer. If you like to minimize clicks, and you wanna look smooth as butter while doing so, you know what you should do.
It works. I originally got this app because on an s7 there is no shortcut to turning on and off data. This helps with that. Only instead of pushing the data button and it turning on data, it takes you to the data page in settings. Also, i noticed the toggle is actually only activated by tap, not the actual process running. (Example, hit data and go to the data page, then back out to the home screen. The power toggle app will show that data is on when it isn't, just because you tapped it.)
I use it but still have a crack about it that it could have been better. For instance the icons could be more modern with animations. And I am to tell that the mobile data switch doesn't seem to do its desired task, instead it goes to the data usage section of settings when tapped.
Just one little thing. I'm using an app that turns mobile data off when I lock the screen. After I unlock the phone mobile data icon stays on as if data was still on. There's no such problem with wifi icon. Apart from this the app seems perfect and is very useful. Thank you
I've been using this app since the Nexus S was released. It's very useful to have many shortcuts and toggles in the notifications in addition to the ones that Google provides. Lately, however, some features have stopped working, increasingly so with every major Android update. It's been a year since this app has been updated, so it seems that the developer has abandoned the app. Since upgrading to Nougat, I have not been able to add Tasker task shortcuts, and some Android toggles like Bluetooth tethering.
I've got this installed on Nexus 5X and it works well. However tried to get it on to my Nexus 7 2012 (5.1.1) and every time I try to place in on the home screen Android says 'launcher has stopped'.
I installed this so I could hide my soft keys on my Google pixel. But the app can only hide them for a couple of seconds and then they just spring back. Would give a better rating if it could be fixed.
Just one thing. The idea of this app was to save extra clicks and slides, right ?? When you click on data it doesn't just switch it off or on, it opens system data page. Total 4 clicks to switch on data. I mean WTF !! Are you kidding ??
I've been searching this type off app for a long time. I have found what I've wanted like volume slider, recent tasks, auto brightness on/off, screen lock and much more. And it's surprising that everything is on less then 1 mb. Thanks for making this wonderful app.
The mobile data toggle and the location don't work the take u to the settings page to turn it off from there and that's the deadly mistake i think... I am using nexus 6p with the latest update of it
A must have app for Android...so many phone settings to choose from I didn't know I had! Personal favs, "wake lock" so can keep phone open whilst driving so can use "ok Google" to make calls hands free...can even launch apps as well as settings...thanks devs
I can't change the theme! Why? Was working fine now I can't pick a theme. Wi-Fi is on but it just spins and spins. Please fix. I love this app. One star until you fix this problem. Thank you. I heard you are not gonna update this app anymore? At least fix it so I can pick a theme. The dev is done with this app.
Absolutely zero support, instructions or information. Nowhere is there just a simple explanation of what the different icons actually do! Wouldn't you think that would be an important part of the app, some information on how to actually use it? No way to contact the developer, no useful instructions, nothing.
I like this app very much but recently the widgets stop working after a few days placed on home screen. I keep replacing and it keeps malfunctioning on Samsung s7. Please help.
When I updated Samsung Note sm-p601 to lollipop 5.1.1, date toggle have stopped working. It works as shortcut to data toggle in settings rather than working as toggle. Given 3 star because I mailed to developer first but no reply that's why 2 less star
data toggle is not working as a switch. also restart and close toggles fail because of root access issue even if i authorize the app
Nice app to have, but have issues running Android 6.0 on Htc M8 GPE. The shutdown, restart, and shutdown menu on the toggle bar are not working. Don't know b/c its on 6.0 or what. Can you please update and have it work on 6.0 Marshmallow. Other than that, its a great Toggle and serves its purpose. Cheers! Once all those issues are fixed I"ll get it a 5star like it suppose to have. Great work thus far!
This is a pretty good app, given all the features that goes into it... but after resetting my phone because of a battery-eating culprit, i placed this back on. And now my battery is slowly chipping away like last time. Plus, it shows that my WiFi is on.. thimk this has some malware inside of it. Uninstalling.
Really great app. Lot of possibilities to modify feel and look. Only arter some time of use the toggle folder stopped working. Says app not found and works only right after the folder shortcut is added to home screen. Widget works as it should. Not rooted xperia 2.
Has everything I like. Toggle to go from ringer to vibrate. Shows me my battery. Wifi. Very cool I can make it look how I want. Using it on a Nexus 6P
Works great but the data button doesn't work as a switch. It'll take me to my settings to click mobile data on or off.
When installed I loved the app at first cleaned up whole my wallpaper and it made my phone pretty. But since a few days nothing but trouble, app crashed several time, show s WiFi or so active while it isn't,...
It just goes to my mobile data instead of automatically turning on. I know from another app my phone doesn't support this feature because it is too new. If anything I would think an old device wouldn't support that. Is there really no way to update this? Anyways, this app is better than the other one I had. Please, add a more transparent backgrounds. They really aren't that transparent. Why isn't there a setting to turn off the first notification bar from showing up on the lock screen?
In general, good app. Pretty customizable. Google isn't offering their Power Settings widget anymore, so I needed a replacement. My biggest complaint is the Location button doesn't toggle properly...Instead it brings me into the Google location menu every time. I got this app to prevent having to go into the settings menu on a daily basis.

The widget does its job and the additional customizability features are a nice bonus. You can change skins and add buttons along with other details to fit your needs. Unfortunately, the widget cannot directly control mobile data (toggling mobile data just opens settings), but that is presumably the fault of Android as this behavior also occurs with similar apps, so I would let that go.
