Easy Connect 1.3.2.0
This kind of customization can be done quite easily, thanks to the numerous dedicated applications that were created for such purposes. For those who want a bit more control and quick access to various system settings, Easy Connect is one of the possible choices.
Plain and easy to use front-end
This application is all about practicality and thus offers a clean layout, well organized and with every feature and command conveniently placed inside the main screen.
The large tiles hosted in there have no text labels on them, so to find out exactly what they stand for, in case you haven't guessed by looking at the icon, you will have to tap them to discover where they lead you.

en shortcuts on the goEasy Connect comes with very few items in its dashboard, so you will have only 5 types of settings at your fingertips and ready to be added to the Start screen. To be more precise, these are the WiFi, cellular and SIM, location, Bluetooth and Airplane Mode areas of the system.
With a long press on any of the tiles you will reveal the available commands that consist of the pinning action and also of opening the corresponding section of the operating system options the selected shortcut stands for.
An advantage over some similar tools is the fact that the Start screen tiles you add support all 3 sizes, small, medium and wide, which offers you more possibilities for arranging them.
Animated tiles with automatic status update
The utility tries to compensate for the small number of shortcuts it supports by providing a couple of extra options that might come in quite handy.
The first feature that is active by default is the animated tiles setting, which applies to the shortcuts you add to the Start screen. What this option will do is allow you to check out the status of the respective system function, as the tile flips to let you know whether that feature is ON or OFF.
A complementary setting is the periodic refresh that once activated will allow Easy Connect to update the status of the tiles. This action is carried out every 30 minutes by the application and there is no possibility of completing this particular task manually.
