3C Toolbox Controls Popup

3C Toolbox offers a controls panel which allows controlling many system components states. Some controls require the installation of a system helper app which requires root. Depending on the app UI theme configuration the panel may look different. Click on thumbnail for full size.

 

Without root or without the system helper installed, this is how the control panel looks like in default theme or light theme (starting with version 1.2).

  

 

With root and the system helper installed, this is how it looks like, in default theme, light theme or with colorful icons.
