About this app

This application, named "Toggle Status Widget", let the user create widgets including status and switch items.

This application supports three different widgets, Horizontal, Vertical and Grid widgets.

Note 1 : This is the version distributed on the Google Store. Some features have been disabled, but they are available in the "Premium" version.
For more information, go to the "About" window and press the "Additional Info" button.

Note 2 : Please take note that, in order to reduce battery consumption, the widget update service is disabled. If you see that widgets do not change the values and the status of their items anymore, please manually enable it inside Settings page. 5, 10 or 15 minutes should be considered as optimal values in order to reduce battery consumption.

Note 3 : starting from Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), all apps having to do with Wi-Fi, need to have the permission for Geolocation. This app has the permissions for Geolocation but only to update SSID/RSSI values. Geolocation service normally is disabled. The user needs to enable it manually inside Settings page. This app does not need GPS service, and does not collect any GPS data.

Accessibility access

Toggle Status Widget uses Accessibility access to perform the following Android actions:
* "Back" (Action to go back)
* "Home" (Action to go home)
* "Recents" (Action to toggle showing the overview of recent apps)
* "Notifications" (Action to open the notifications)
* "Quick Settings" (Action to open the quick settings)

Toggle Status Widget does not watch any user action by Accessibility access, though grant is required for Accessibility service.
Toggle Status Widget will discard any event sent by Android system.
Toggle Status Widget will use an integrated Accessibility Service to send the "performGlobalAction" action in order to perform the above-mentioned actions.

Ratings and reviews

Switched to this app from similar that had recently lost functionality. Would prefer it to have a volume slider (like its brightness slider) instead of needing up & down volume buttons. Would prefer direct Wi-Fi on/off toggle instead of Wi-Fi settings button. But overall, pretty happy. Flashlight button works on/off for me fine unlike issue other reviewers have had. Thanks.

I was looking for an info widget that gives me quick access to system settings and real time updates to connections status on my android head unit. I'm happy to say this does exactly what I need. And a ton of customization options as a bonus. Apps like this are why I love android. But because Google seems to limit functionality of apps with every update, downloading the free pro version works best.

Overall, this does what I want it to do and has tons of options. Definitely worth the download. I couldn't get my wifi to update the ssid using the tutorial, but after adding it to accessibility in my phone settings it worked. The widget will also turn on my flashlight but won't turn it off. I am very impressed with this dev. Within a few hours I received a reply and they reached out by email to discuss my request. Top notch.
