Adds Tablet Mode/Phone Mode buttons to powerkey menu.

Enables switching the cellular modem on or off, without going into Offline mode. Handy for having WLAN enabled, but phone disabled (e.g. flights, hospitals) or to conserve battery in areas with low signal reception. Restarts SystemUI at the end of the installation/removal.

Works great... Agree with David B. Would be nice to have further buttons to enable/disable other functions. Have used Windows smartphones in the past and they always had a screen where you could see all connection methods at once and enable/disable each one as you liked without having to change screens

Great app. I cannot understand why it is not included in Maemo OS. However, it should be multilanguage. Is that possible?

Very useful solution until finer-grained control of radios is included in Maemo.

@J Chipman: Take a look at the "call forwarding applet", you can set divert there and then disable cell to achieve this.

Great add-on! Thanks very much.

What I need next is the option to make calls out but divert all calls to voicemail.

Very nice app. It would be great to have the button in my language, or to be able to modify the writing.

Excellent, great add on.

How about an option to switch between simple/advanced menu, the simple one being the screenshot above for non-techies and an advanced menu for us that like to turn certain services off such as the below:

  • WIFI
  • 3G
  • EDGE
  • Bluetooth
  • GPS
  • Autolock
  • Reboot Option

Great app :)
