UCCW and create a custom widget?

Random

it doesnt seem to be one of the options in uccw?

"extended controls" doesnt have it either. as far as i remember it used to be an option on the power widget on my htc sensation before. i dunno if theyve taken it out of jelly bean or if that was htc only or what.

Think the power widget has changed, can't remember.

You're right, UCCW doesn't seem to pick it up. Hmmm. Not sure, I don't really use roaming data. I leave it off. Sorry.

Enable data roaming or just data in general? I have one called data enabler that is a toggle for data in general.

Gran - no option in that app

Star - data roaming specifically

Ste-

Lists data roaming on/off.

Ste - gives me shortcut to the page in settings where i can then tick it on/off. This is better than nothing, but still means more than 1 click.

I use Power Toggles and just tap the mobile data on/off when roaming.

Have a look at this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir.widget&hl=en

Plenty of options to customise. They allow you to create a data roaming widget, however it looks like you may need a rooted device for full functionality. If you are not rooted it opens 'mobile network settings' where you can tick/untick 'data roaming'. May save you a few clicks.

(Just noticed Ste just recommended the same).

it seems to be a case of the option not being available in android 4.2.2 or something. ill go with the shortcut to the right area of settings for now anyway, that helps. i dont really want to root the device. if anyone else has any other suggestions do let me know.

thanks
