Toggle Data 5.0 Brings Data Toggle and More to Lollipop

By -

Every time a new version of Android rolls around, there are undoubtedly plenty of applications that for some reason or another simply stop working. While some of these may be minor inconveniences to some, that isn’t always the case. If you’re a Type-A personality and you like micromanaging exactly when your mobile data is on and off, you most likely noticed that existing mobile data toggle widgets simply stopped working when Android 5.0 Lollipop came around. Luckily, there is now a suitable replacement that even packs a few extra tricks, thanks to Toggle Data 5.0.

Toggle Data 5.0 comes courtesy of XDA Senior Member cygery. This application is, for the most part, a simple home screen widget that does exactly as it says: It toggles your mobile data on Android Lollipop. In addition to the standard home screen mobile data widget functionality, Toggle Data 5.0 also offers Tasker / Locale integration, which allows you to use one of the aforementioned automation apps to toggle your mobile data with profiles.

If you’re an Android Lollipop user and you’ve been looking for a simple mobile data widget (or some Tasker / Locale integration), head over to the Toggle Data 5.0 application thread to get started.

As the music begins to play, a soft breeze fills the space with the undeniable smell of magnolia blossoms. She gracefully enters and begins a “tree pose” with her hands in Namaste form. Our female figure is inspired by the Indian culture for its gorgeous use of color and the grace of its yoga formations. I hope you’ll enjoy the journey as we retrace, step by step to enlightenment.  1. Becoming Flesh and Blood Step 1 Our first step will be to bring in our sketch. I've scanned her in at 300 dpi to catch as much of the detail as possible. I'm not as picky about my choice of initial drawing tools, and this particular project was completed with a mechanical pencil. We'll be working with a clean line quality from Adobe Photoshop and now we can begin to work. I'm working in Adobe Illustrator at a size of 8.5 x 11 inches for this specific project. When I'm ready to start my layers, I'll label my first layer as "Sketch" and lock the layer to make su...

In this tutorial, we are going to design a set of icons in Adobe Photoshop. An icon set needs to have the same background and theme. For learning purposes, we are going to design a sun icon, an ice flake icon, and an RSS icon. Let's get started. 1. Preparing the Canvas Step 1 Start by making a new file with size 350 px × 350 px . Click the small box next to the  Background Contents  option to change the new canvas color. Step 2 In the Color Picker dialog box, select grey ( #e0e0e2 ) for the canvas background color.
