I hate to be a pest but can someone post a link for the toggle again. I got it working with two separate Widgets and I like the mod but to have a single toggle widget would be dope.

This script seems to be the culprit that locked me out of my phone.

Long story:
I had the old, separated version with a separate script for on & off. I randomly ran across this thread again, & decided to "upgrade" the script. After putting it in the system/etc/init.d folder, and using it, it worked perfectly.

The next morning, I couldn't use my touchscreen. There was a phantom swipe going on. The notification bar would come almost halfway down repeatedly, and if I held power, the top option (silent mode) would get clicked. I couldn't do anything that required me to use the touch screen.

I factory reset it: nothing. I reset it through CWM: nothing. I flashed 3 different roms, custom & stock: nothing. Sometimes I could use the screen for a few minutes, so i uninstalled everything I had downloaded within the last week: nothing.

So, I bought a replacement. I still couldn't stand those softkey lights, so I ran this script. 15 minutes later, the new phone screen is unusable. I checked the old phone, & got lucky; I could use the screen (for a few minutes). I deleted this script, & the init.d folder.

My old phone has not locked up in the last 36 hours, & the replacement is still unusable. I'm taking it back for a refund.

Short story:
I deleted the toggling script, & my phone has not locked up on me in the last 36 hours.

Note: I am in no way angry or upset about this, just giving a heads up.

Ive been using this almost since it was released and never had any issues, but I always use scriptmanager to enable/disable it, Ive never done it manually, thanks for the info.
 
I may have been premature in judging this script. It seemed to be the culprit, but my phone locked up again. After waiting a few days, I was able to use the screen again. Factory reset, only installed necessary apps, wiped SD card, everything works.

Conclusion: This script did NOT lock up my phone.
