IconSettings gives you simple control of your iDevice without jailbreaking - Engadget

[@ri]

Look, we understand, some of you are a little timid about jailbreaking your iPhone. You've looked on in envy as your contemporaries have thrown warranties to the wind and enjoyed the convenience of turning on and off their WiFi from the homescreen. But, be jealous no longer. A crafty developer has figured out how to bring the same capabilities your iDevice with little more than a browser bookmark -- no jailbreaking required. IconSettings lets you quickly access or toggle various settings on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, provided its running iOS 5. Setting it up is as simple as saving a bookmark to your home screen. Then you just tap the links and, voilà, you can turn on and off Bluetooth, change brightness levels, or disengage autolock. You'll find full instructions and the appropriate bookmarks at the source links.

Thanks Twinz! Appreciate it.

Let me know how you find it. Keep in mind it is a "hack" of sorts, so it's not elegant by all means. But it works that's the important thing :thumbs:

What the hell...it is so easy not like clumsy jailbreak and there is no delays in activations like with jailbreak. Bluetooth is the best...i now see all 3 of my bmw's with bmw connect drive...and i am not even sitting in the vehicle...i am like about 20meters away from the garage...wow...okay will go through each feature slowly and carefully. Just need to create a new folder tmr for all the gadgets...:joy:

Thank you for developing this very cool hack :ty::bravo:
