Lightbulb Awesome App For Task Bar

Those of you who miss not being able to tap the the task bar in 2.2 (like you could in 1.6) can install an awesome app that lets you open most important quick settings from the task bar by sliding the task bar down. The app is free, its called Quick Setting (by Sergey Shafarenka). Just slide the top task bar and you will see the option for quick settings, then tap it and you will find: ringer, volume control, bluetooth, wi-fi, gps, mobile data. battery meter, and brightness.

If you prefer separate icons, you can try Status Bar Switch by friedflow for wi-fi and bluetooth - both free. I found them first but now that I learned about the Quick Setting App - I may just use it for everything.

Anyway, try it and let me know what you think.

i just tried it, and it looks really cool, specially together with his other app the battery widget which is cooler than the battery widget i had.
Only one thing missing, the option to be able to turn on airplane mode keeping wifi on

+1 for Quick Settings. Ive been using this app since my X10. One of the first apps I installed on my Streak, and couldn't live without it.

Up! +1

I've been using this excellent little app for 3 weeks already. It even give the shortcut for LED flashlight (given you configure it properly) so no need other 3rd party app for flashlight which may or may not work on our streak.

You can even customize what kind of settings you wanted to show, including GPS, mobile data, autosync data, wifi hotspot, airplane mode, auto rotation (yay!).

Edit: i show this to my friend and now his satisfy with it in his desirez
