Ohhh, I read the instructions on the site and thought they meant to transfer the entire folder.

Ohhh, I read the instructions on the site and thought they meant to transfer the entire folder.
It's a little misleading, I know. I was confused at first as well but, I looked at WifiOnOff.app and showed the package contents and I knew that the files inside it were the important files because installing Apps never uses folders.... it's always .app files.
If the app wont be in the folder and all you will see is Wifionoff.app, will it be possible to edit the icon and whatnot?
Yes, I changed my icon to the old icon (the rounded square icon) by right clicking (or control-clicking) on the WifiOnOff.app and showing package contents. Then I named the file icon.png to icon_backup.png and moved the good icon (WifiToggle icon) into it so that I could have the WifiToggle icon back... hehe. I don't really like the square switch icon... it doesn't match the rest of the icons.
You got it! I think this new App is even quicker than the old one too... since it doesn't come up with "Checking Wifi" then "Turning Wifi On"... it just says "Turning Wifi On" and quits.
Look at the first post in this thread.
Here's the source for WifiToggle: http://iphone.latte.ca
This must be added to installer.
I did this and my download timed out. Wasnt sure if since the two programs go combined the new app was on the installer
There are three different ones we are talking about now.
That's for WifiToggle.
The new one is called WifiOnOff, and it's doesn't seem to have a repo, only available here: http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~chris/iphone/WifiOnOff/
WifiSwitch is on moyashi's hitoriblog experimental repo, and I believe it requires "wifictl" to be installed too.
Looks like WiFiOnOff has been renamed to WiFiToggle. The old URL I posted above no longer works. The new one is:
http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~chris/iphone/WifiToggle/
Maybe that means it's merged with the original, and it's now available on that first repo? Dunno. But there's the new URL.
you can actually use the installer now to put the latest, merged, switch, toggle whatever on your touch.

That's exactly what it means, Fofer. I'm still going to leave it available on my repo, mainly to see if I add some cool new features (like changing the icon depending on whether the wifi is on or off), but the official version will live on Chris's site, and any time we add any decent functionality, we'll (well, he'll) resubmit it to the modmyifone repository.
As a request, if any of you can think of a feature you'ld like added, please email me and/or Chris. I'm having a blast coding up apps, and would love to make them better.
Thanks,
Blake.

Ahhh, that's fantastic, Blake! The app is really useful and I appreciate you sharing your great work.
If you could get the icon to change based on the current WiFi status it would be even BETTER!
It's too bad they can't make it so that it doesn't actually have to launch a window. I see they tried making the default.png file transparent (which doesn't seem to solve that problem although it was a good try.) I like this App but, wouldn't it be wicked if when you clicked it, the dialog just popped up over your other icons?
I also thought about faking it by taking a screensnap of the Springboard before we exitted, and using that as the Default.png, but that wouldn't really work either... Actually, if I was running it as a background daemon, it might... Still, those are all only ways to hack around the problem, not a solution.
It would be cool to not actually launch the app, but I don't know of any way to do that. Yet.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Later,
Blake.
