GPSToggler

GPS toggle widget for Android rooted devices. It works even for those ROMs and kernels, other software failed. It requires the 'su' privilegies only during the very first run (reboot is still required).

Now compatible with Android Marshmallow.

Fixed (apparently) the known problem with Galaxy Note 2, S3, etc 4.3 ROMs where SU is not well processed. The hotfix is explained in detail in the SU source code.

0.19

0.16

Improved (up to some level) the recognition of running GPS software and especially the finishing of the run. Little log improvement for above process.

Added 'GPSActivityTest' application as an example of above.

'SU' utilization is minimized. The application asks for the 'SU' permission only once during the first run.
