Looks great :)
Though a couple of comments
I think you can (and should) drop the different pages and just put
everything in the same page.
Airplane mode: should probably be an on/off switch that switches all the
checkboxes to "disabled" and disconnects from all of those networks.
Network list: should probably not include GSM but GSM should be in a
different toggle next to airplane mode (or at least distinguished from the
rest).
Maybe add short state description below each checkbox, something that'll
allow us to write "connecting..."/"failed to connect"/"connected to wifi:
Toms-house" etc.
You should probably take out the "Ringing profile" text out of the combo box
and just leave the name of the profile in there, and again, put this in the
same page of the rest, everything should be in the same page.
As for the themes changing, it does not belong in this app, it's a job for
the "big" settings app, not this "quick" settings app.

Suspend, lock and poweroff belong to the main page as well. :)

Other than that, I like the way this is going, I liked the checkboxes idea
(looks simple and easy).

Actually thinking about it, maybe the wifi deserves a place of it's own, as
simply clicking a checkbox isn't enough for wifi. Maybe clicking the wifi
button should pop another tab that's responsible for wifi/gprs connectivity
passwords.


concerning [1] cool :) (read my comments above though).

I'm really excited, great job! looking forward to seeing it in shr.
