(UPDATED)Adding Bluetooth Menu to the Main Settings Page

[The LPT]

I recently tried modifying the settings.plist inside the preferences.app to see if I could get the bluetooth menu on the first page of Settings mainly for quicker access. Not needing to drill down 2 levels.

If you add the following to the settings.plist :

<dict>
<key>bundle</key>
<string>BluetoothSettings</string>
<key>isController</key>
<false/>
<key>requiredCapabilities</key>
<array>
<string>bluetooth</string>
</array>
</dict>


I normally put the code just below the AirPortSettings (Wifi). Where you place it in the file will determine how far down the list it is on the main page.

Respring/reboot the phone and you're good to go.

If you are like me who doesn't use SBSettings for anything other than those 2 toggles, this will at least reduce the number of mobile substrate addons by at least 1

edit : I got a little carried away and did some more editing.
I put the battery percentage in the main screen
Put location services and notifications under the general page
put the carrier info in the network page

I cant figure out how to show the wifi without an icon though. If anyone has any thoughts let me know.

If this really works, it's a sweet hack

Here are my modded plists :
settings
general
Usage Statistics
network

Any chance you could tell me the exact path in iFile to the
correct settings file?

Also could you screenshot the modified part of the file so I can see
exactly what it looks like?

Thanks this is pretty much what I have been looking for.
Any negatives so far?

I haven't run into any issues so far.

The actual path to the folder is root/private/var/stash/Applications/

look in the Preferences.app folder and modify those files. Always make a back up of them first.

I've uploaded a couple screenshots to give a basic idea of where things go. The plist files I uploaded previously have all the edits shown in my first batch of screen shots.

Maybe I missed it, but could you list what device and iOS you did this on?

I have an GSM iPhone 4, on 4.3.3 But I'm assuming the same principles for modding the plist files would work on all the versions of the phone.

I'm basically taking the code from one file and putting it into another.

eg.

Taking the code for the bluetooth menu from the General.plist and putting it into the Settings.plist.

Just took your plists and am rebooting now. I've always wanted to bring certain options forward in the menu system. This is great!

Hopefully you can figure this out. How can you make the Bluetooth setting a toggle right on the settings screen rather than a dive into another menu level? That would be even better!

That was my original plan to move the actual toggle to the main menu, but I couldn't find the code that runs that specific page.

Don't give up! Thanks for the tweak!
