New Power Control widget with one click 2G/3G toggling

---

Hello

I waited a lot of time for Google to release the support of a API to allow changing the 2G/3G with one click
As many others I would like to have the ability to do it without need to go to the settings.

Since Google didn't do it, I decided to do it by myself.
For that I modified the Phone and Setting applications that are delivered in the Cyanogen 6 version.

I made a new Power Control widget that now has the following:

Additional buttons:
- 2G/3G toggling (one click. With 3G only or 3G preferred)
- Ring mode toggling (Different possibilities)
- Screen timeout (15s/1min/5 min or 30s/2m/5Min)
- Toggle orientation sensor(enabled/disabled)
- Brightness levels (added different possible levels)
- Airplane mode enable/disable
- Lock Screen enable/disable
- Flashlight (screen mode works on Magic. on N1 it doesn't work=Don't use it)

Options:
- Can now be set with vertical layout
- you can choose different buttons on the widget
- possibility for a transparent widget
- possibility to avoid the widget "round corners"
- Option to change to 2G automatically when Mobile data is disabled
- Option to change to 3G automatically when Mobile data is enabled back
- Option to disable sync automatically when WIFI is disabled (avoids sync on mobile data)
- Option to enable sync automatically when WIFI is enabled back
- Option to choose if Ring mode is ON with vibrate or with sound
- Option to monitor the Data roaming (set the icon to red if enabled)

Other changes:
Changes done to GPS or Mobile Data in normal Settings page are now automatically synchronized in the widget.

Limitations:
- Setting page still very ugly
- Like the original one, limited to a single 4x1 widget.
- Button order is fixed


Before I contribute with my code to Cyanogen, I would like to see the feedback of other persons to confirm if this change is interesting or not.
If not, I would keep it just to myself.

It was only tested in my own HTC Magic. So I cannot guarantee that it will work 100%. If you want it, then use it at your own risk
Unfortunately it require changes of main Phone applications so I don't think it is possible to do it for all the Phones.
For now it will only work with CM6

I hope this is also interesting for several other people.

My personal update procedure (flashmode):
Step 1:
Copy the update.zip (power_control_v2.01.zip) to the SD Card

Shutdown phone and boot it in recovery mode (On HTC Magic, press HOME + POWER to boot)

Step 2: (optional but recommended)
move the directory of your computer to were to store the backup files

Wait for the Recovery console
Connect the usb cable
adb.exe shell mount /system

Make a backup of the original files:
adb.exe pull /system/app/Settings.apk Settings_original.apk
adb.exe pull /system/app/Phone.apk Phone_original.apk

Step 3:
Select the Flash option on the recovery, and select to choose the file name
Select the power_control_v2.01.zip
Confirm and wait for it to finish.
Reboot the phone.

Step 4:
Add the new Power Control widget

Thank you verry much !

Is this the app from BK Mobility? Of so, this would be considered a WAREZ and you will get banned for it, because it is an paid app.
