At least before I left the Settings app always open so I could reach these things relatively easily...
What did I say? Someone is complaining already.

The only settings I ever (and by that, I mean ever since I had a mobile phone, i.e. in the past 20 years) wanted to change from a locked phone was to turn to silent. My old Palm Treo had a physical switch for that very purpose. The most useful feature in the history of everything. I could switch it to silent without taking it out of the pocket (or, more commonly, from under the pillow).

But I digress. Accessing the toggles is now faster than ever and works in the default configuration, without any patches. No longer do I have to start Settings to turn wireless off or change the screen brightness.

For an easier access to at least some of the most common toggles without unlocking, have a look at Schturman's repository on Openrepos. Once installed, you can add them to the lock screen pulley menu. I used to have "Connect to internet" there but 1.1.9 rendered that unnecessary.
