Widget Quick Settings App

[u/Time_Geologist6220]

Hi all

I'm looking for an app that would essentially give me a way to bring some of my quick settings drag down controls onto my home screen through a widget.

The ones I've come across either don't have a widget, don't allow me to customize very well (ex: one app had several pages, but I could only remove apps from pages, not add apps to consolidate onto one widget page), or they don't work when I click on the icon (happened for one app that otherwise seemed promising). One of the ones that *did* have a widget didn't work well - instead of toggling the function like the icons do in the quick settings menu, it opened up the settings in the phone. 🤔

So! If anyone knows of an app that essentially makes the quick settings menu into a functional widget, please let me know!

What you want is rare as a pure “QS panel clone” widget — most “control center” apps either open Settings or fake the icons.

Stuff that actually toggles:

1) Custom Quick Settings tiles (long-press edit QS → add tiles from apps). Many toggles live there even if the home-screen widget is junk. 2) Shortcut Maker / Activity Launcher → pin specific system activities, then put those shortcuts in a folder/widget. Hit-or-miss per OEM. 3) Automation apps (Tasker-style / WHEN→THEN macros): make a home shortcut or QS tile that runs Wi‑Fi / Bluetooth / Data / DND toggles via intents. That’s the reliable “tap = toggle, don’t open Settings” path when the pretty widget packs fail.

If an app’s widget only opens Settings, drop it — that’s a permissions/API limit, not something you can fix with layout tweaks.

tasker or macrodroid can put a home screen shortcut on a toggle so it flips in place instead of opening settings. some toggles like mobile data are locked down on newer android though, so check that one first
