ConnectivityShortcuts
If you are an Android convert then you must have felt the need
for a quick switch to enable/disable Wi-Fi, cellular data,
Bluetooth, etc. There is no easy way to do this on a Windows Phone
by default, but ConnectivityShortcuts solves this problem. It lets
you pin live tiles on the Start screen which directly take you to
the respective settings screen. You can also customize the live
tiles as per your taste.
