    There is an Xposed module to replace the tiles back to a simple on/off toggle, for both BT tile and WiFi tile.

    You need to grab your control back lol

    Also if you don’t have root on your personal Android devices these days… lol may Google have mercy on you lmao (hint: they won’t lol)

      root is a security risk on many security focused ROMs.

      See the 4th reply in this GrapheneOS thread

      and this from CalyxOS’s FAQ

      If you can link the xposed module though I wouldnt mind making a feature request and asking for the module itself to be integrated into their forks.
