Power Control Widgets - That work in ICS

I love ICS, but a few changes - they made in the back end - break a lot of the third party power widgets. The problems I find...

- I can't find one that turns GPS off and on from the widget (like the stock power widget) without opening the setting page.

- I can't find one with a usable 4G toggle.

- I can't find one that has a Flash toggle button. There are ones that work with single widgets, jut not power bar style.


Has anyone found one that works like it should? I would ultimately like to have power toggles in the notification pane like in Cyanogen Mod, but I would settle for a functioning desktop widget for now.

I'm in the same boat as you... I would love to find one that works properly with the GPS.

I am actually surprised that none of the widget developers know how to do this. Isn't ICS open source code out already? Can't they just copy the calls in the OS version?

i am using widgetsoid. i can turn gps on and off. there is no 4g toggle, but they have a 2g/3g button that takes you directly to the submenu in settings where you can select cdma and lte. also have a mobile data off/on button. I don't know about flash though.

That takes me into the GPS settings, it will not directly turn it on and off (for me).
 
I had the same results with widgetsoid. GPS toggle just took me to a menu.

I'm with you, a functional power control widget with 4G and flash would be great.
