I suggested the following to Spb ( because I use Spb Pocket Plus & Spb Diary )
But mabye ( I know there is a tool for Ringtone Profiles, but I want more! ) there is a software out there that maybe does what I am looking for.
----
Hi, I have an idea for either a new product or a plugin for Pocket Plus. I call it "Power Profiles". As a business & private user of an MDA Vario I also have docking stations, one at home and one in the office.
Many MDA Vario Users ( which is basically the HTC Wizard ) use their PPC the same way I do. So bascially when I get into the office, first thing I do is turn of the phone volume and give the PPC only half the volume ( for appointments, reminders, etc. ).
One special thing on some dockingstations is that you can have your PPC sitting in front of you ( in the docking station ). My dock has the neat option that you have the MDA sitting their in landscape mode, which is great but also bad at the same time. Because with Diary & Pocket Plus installed in landscape their just isn't enough space on the screen.
So the Plugin would create Profile Shortcuts and do the following. I have two profiles setup, one called HOME the other called OFFICE.
I tap on a shortcut on the today screen (OFFICE) it:
1. Sets the volumes as I need them
2. Turns the screen into landscape
3. Turns off Pocket Plus ( or hides it, it only matters that Diary gets the full landscape view )
4. The Display light gets turned up all the way
Once I am on my way home, I tap on the another shortcut (HOME) which then:
1. Sets the volumes as I need them
2. Turns the screen into normal view
3. Turns ON Pocket Plus ( or makes it visible again )
4. The Display is set to my normal level ( two levels under the max )
Of course their could be lots more stuff that a realy Profile Program could/should do ( Different Ringtone Settings, Different Theme in the Office then at Home - don't wanna show your boss your girlfriend all the time now do you ;-), Different Items displayed on the Today Screen, etc. etc. )
So maybe you are able to think about my suggestions, it would be a great addition to your product portfolio I believe )
Very good idea! Not seen any software like that and just done a search in my normal sites - mainly freeware. Maybe a commercial one somewhere but none on a google search. Hope SPB listen to you
Hmm, funny, i was thinking in the same direction.
And why not let the 'Power on/off and 'USB connect' (etc) events trigger the profiles also ?
After developing the Tomtom Navigate2 script, i think i can do it, if i get enough information on the desired settings.
- Like BT on/off ; Needs a 'real' tool, there's no internal command, and changing regkey ain't enough.
So solved it with a script that calls BTon/BToff tool and changes regkey of the BT headset profile:
Ok, BT On/Off + BR Profile Toggle works !
What do i need then ?
"What setings should be changeable ? "
My suggestion :
- BT + BT HeadsetProfile (Done !)
- "ActiveSync when Craddled" option On/Off (Done !)
- Change Today Theme ? Would be nice.. (Not even looked at...)
The suggestions i just heard :
- Change ScreenRotation (isn't there a free tool for it ?)
- Change Today Items.
- Change Display Birgightness.
"How do we change these settings ?"
- BT is done,
- ASync is done,
- Screen rotation; Need commandtool (Doesn't VJ have a tool that does this ?) + Subroutine for script. So done, apart from writing it in the tool
- Screenrotation; if there is a commandtool for it, same as for 'Screen Rotation'
- Change Today items; Haven't got a clue, is thanging regkey and refersh today enough ?
- Display brightness; idem as Today Items....
So, let's get it rolling then
That would be so wonderful if this could be achieved! I have absolutly no plan on how do to it - but I have the ideas 8) :lol:
Pocket Plus lets you also rotate the screen with a tap on the screen, but what I wanted to achive is automation - simply by click ONE shortcut it does the whole thing for me - I am know I am a lazy person but hey thats a reason I got myself a PPC :wink:
This is similar to the one thing I miss from my nokia phones which is one click profiles for outdoor, indoor, meeting, etc. hope something comes of this.
What about PocketZenPhone???
PZP lets you set up anywhere from 2 to 7 profiles, controlling virtually everything you might associate with a profile, such as:
- ring / vibrate / volume / flash (and about a dozen variant combinations)
- the above for notification on just about any kind of event
- power settings for each profile both on battery and corded power
More features than it makes sense to list here. But I've been playing with it over the last couple of days. Very clean, and very functional. Many ways to use it also -
- today plugin (just tap an icon to switch profiles)
- task tray popup
- menu
- automated switching in sync with pocket Outlook
I've also traded email with the developer (zendrui) and it turns out to be pretty straightforward to get MS Voice Command to also switch profiles - I should have this all set up in the next hour. Love the idea of tapping the button to invoke Voice Command and just telling it to go to "silent" or "meeting", and having all settings adjusted at once.
Pocket Zen Phone
Hello all,
Check http://zendrui.free.fr . This sw is very good and keeps beeing updated.
Yes, this is a great program.... it is amazingly small for what it does and it does an amazing amount. It even controls which radio's are on or off and when.
Anyway... here is the link to open the forum thread that has 6.0 beta 7 http://zendrui.free.fr/PZPForum/viewforum.php?f=5
When I had Nokia phone, I used a program called miniGPS from Psiloc.com. This was the best program for profile switching. It worked by detecting all the cells at a location and allowing those cells to be put into a group. Then I could create events like "upon entering group, switch to meeting profile, turn off bluetooth, map the keys to do this...change screen saver, change wallpaper to this one..." etc. and upon exit from the cell group, change the ringer volume to max, switch wallpaper, and so on. Unfortunately, the Windows mobile equivalent of this program does not work on 8125. The PocketZenPhone is nowhere close. It works on fixed time basis. What if at that time I am not in office? Though I like the 8125, I badly miss the miniGPS program. It is sad that such a nice utility is not available for Windows.

Sounds really powerful, although I'm not sure I'd want the phone deciding when to switch profiles for me.
I've been experimenting with a set of shortcuts to invoke each profile, renaming them to be meaningful to me, such as, "HomeProfile", "OfficeProfile", "Silent", etc. Then I can use Voice Command to switch by saying something like "Run Silent" or "Run HomeProfile"...and it does.
One thing I liked about the built-in profile capability on the Nokia's we have is the fact that they would switch to my headset profile when I plugged in a pair of headphones, or when I simply turned on my pre-paired BT headset -- THAT was nice. I'd be curious to see how WM5 recognizes such an event -- I'd think that zendrui, the author of PocketZenPhone, would be able to hook such an event and offer us the option of having it trigger a profile change.
Here is the freeware version of Pocketzenphone 4.5.1 tested on my phone and works well. You have to fiddle with the settings but I got it working properly . If you like it can buy the full version 5 euros I think which is cheap. (me prob will)
I bought the currently shipping version (5.52?) and it works fine...but I wanted to try installing the shortcuts to invoke the various profiles, and the cabs that automatically create and install them (and the associated EXE's) in the right dirs assume NEW directory structures different than what the currently shipping version (5.52) uses. Instead, the new dir structure corresponds to the beta of version 6.0 -- currently at beta 7 I believe, and quite stable. I suspect it's nearing commercial release.
Anyway - ver 6 beta 7 can be downloaded free, and will function for a month. If you like it, it's something like $8 directly from the site, or $10 via Handango or a couple of others. This also buys you all future releases, and the author continues to upgrade this regularly. It's a good deal.
I tried to download 6.0 beta 7 but unable too. If anyone else has any joy please post
what about this one found on modaco http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=205779? it's free and wm5 compatable. i've not tried it. if you do, please report your opinion.

The download link on this page:

Just looking at the screens suggest to me that, while this one might work, it has far less control than PZP. Might be worth a try, but I like controlling power, backlight, vibration, etc along with ringtones and volume.
The Modaco Tool works, but as stated is by no means as powerful as ZenPhone.
Another problem with the modaco tool for me ( and many others, just check their forum ) is that after you UNINSTALL the tool it will most likely mess up your ringtones/settings.
Lucky me I had a backup of my system so I could recover without a hitch. The problem was that I had some weird ringtones listed that did not work and were actually never on my system and I could not choose any other ringtones after the uninstall.
I am gonna give Zenphone a try, it looks promising but also time consuming to setup - will give it a go this evening.
thanks jon for both tips. pzp beta won't download I think cuz I am browsing on pda and sometimes cabs won't download. Got ppcprofiles though great find well done. Initial testing promising.

Guys,
This program is BETA
It only works on the English WM2003 Rom, and QVGA only (for now)
Backup your system and give it a go, it can't do anything dangerous, worst case just soft reset. But backup just in case :wink:
Ok, as of writing WM2005 might be out on Magician, so I'm distracted.
But, this is a minor advancement of a proof of concept I put up here.
This version has a major improvement. Read and see...
On loading up, you will see some tiny dots in the top left. It can't be moved for now, and you can't change the image for now (you can use a resource hacker if you want)

}
In normal use it does nothing. If the dots are active they will show the current time and Battery level.
Clicking on the dots will bring up your New Bar - the bar that is normally at the bottom of your Today screen! This means that you can access the New menu or bluetooth or activesync etc from your normal screen. Click it again to go back to your Start Bar. This hack is particularly useful will my TodayToggle program.
Ok: clicking and holding on the dots will bring up a menu. There's only one active option - Reminders.
Don't you hate it when reminders pop up and block you doing anything else? You don't want to snooze it, you just want to go back to betaplayer etc? Click on the option "Reminders" and the current active reminder will be "ghosted" (it won't do anything until there's a reminder on screen)
The reminders will not now bother you. However, to bring the reminders back up, choose the "reminders" option from the menu again, and it will come back up! Note the little alarm icon in the New Bar? That shows that you've got outstanding reminders.
Finally: piece de resistance
Reminders eh? Why where all the buttons so small? You have to take your stylus out just to click "Dismiss"? Who designed this thing? :roll:
So:
There's a slight delay before the buttons are changed, but hopefully it makes sense. BTW - "All!" means dismiss all. I couldn't fit anything else in
So, whadya think?
This is beta. There's more to add to this program, but I hope it's useful.
Note: it's likely to have some minor CPU usage. If you don't want it, don't use it.
Please provide feedback!
HideStart
If you "lose" the dots, try reloading it. If that doesn't work, close it by going To Settings > System > Memory.
I don't know if it works with Wisbar etc. Try it and report!
V
Could you make it so the close button is not there ? (The cross on the top-right when its active)
You could then close by clicking on the 'dots' and selecting,.. say EXIT, or shutdown option.
Also, when closing down, maybe restoring the New menu ??
Will start to have a play.
Jim.....
I know the snooze button relates to the Snooze combo but, to me, the large buttons should be the All and Snooze, with the Dismiss being the small (or perhaps equal) size - better for hitting in the half light. The large ones should be at the bottom left and right for similar reasons (easier to hit).
nice, as always!!!
buzz
thanks for that
On my S100 with french rom it didn't work very well !
When i load hidestart i can see the time and battery indicators but the dots aren't there !
I've also tried a reminder and the buttons are not changed ! If your hack works like Mamaich hack for the phonedialer it doesn't work maybe because the title of the reminder window is different between roms ( "reminder" in the english rom but "rappel" in the french rom ).
It's just an idea ..
Switchcorp - good point, this is all English right now; I'll update the first post to indicate. If you send me the name of the "Reminder" window, and the exact text on Dismiss, Dismiss All, Snooze (button) and "Snooze:" text I'll try to update it, although probably not before my holiday
I don't understand why you can't see the dots. Did you try launching it again? If you "lose" it, you have to close it with Settings > System > Memory.
Are you using anything like Wisbar etc?
jimbo123 - when closing down it should restore the new menu to it's original state I hope. Please indicate if it doesn't.
I'm going to work on putting a "close" icon on the reminder itself, so instead of having to go to the Menu > Reminders option, there'll automatically be a "close" button to press and hide the reminders. But I got tired last night, so had to leave it!
mtbsoft - I understand about the buttons, and I'll happily reconfigure them, but remember that the All button is only shown if there's more than one reminder active, so you'll only have the Snooze and Dismiss buttons with <2 reminders. The reminder text box can't be made wider because the blue highlight is hardcoded to that width, so I don't have much space to play with
Buzz - get back to work :wink:
Translation :
"Reminder" window -> "Rappel"
"Dismiss" -> "Effacer"
"Dismiss All" -> "Effacer tout"
Snooze (button) -> "Répéter"
"Snooze:" -> "Répéter:" ( i suppose it's the time box ? )
I've tried again by redownloading hidestart ... i see the dots but after the "new bar" moves i've a bug on the bottow of my screen and hidestart is crashed !
I've soft reseted but i can't see the dots anymore ... it's very strange
Switchcorp - thanks for the info, I'll try to put it in.
I don't quite understand about the bug and the crash. Don't use it on your ROM for now, it can't do anything useful (I think the hiding startbar feature also uses English names, I don't have the code in front of me right now).
General:
Are you using anything like Wisbar?
This interface is only very temporary. The functionality will go into another program I'm writing, but I thought the Reminder button hack was useful so put it out now. The dots work well on my colour theme and the position is convenient....
Sorry it doesn't work Switch!
V
I've forgot to say that i don't use any soft like wisbar !
The only hack that i've done is the time under the date ( instead of the time only ).
Soft i use : Phonealarm, Alarm Today, Phone dashboard and PHM tray lauch and SPB Pocket plus.
Only those are active !
No problem vijay555 I like your work and if i can help to improve your app's i'll be happy !
Hidestart is a good companion of the microsoft voice command i think For me it is very usefull
I'll wait that it works with the french roms !
I've tried to desactivate all my today plugins but it doesn't change anything
I'm glad you find some of it useful at least!
Today plugins won't make any difference, i'm sure it's the way I find the windows using the English names... I'll have to find french rom for the emulator I think...
I've got a nice Today Plugin I'm making. Some will find it useful. But i've no time to release it right now :wink: Soon.

Guys, I've just noticed a bug on my version (I'm using a different version to the one released here). Can you try writing something using the soft keyboard, eg editing a schedule or something, for longer then 5 seconds.
Does it work correctly? On mine HideStart is stealing focus, ie stopping you writing after a couple of seconds. Feedback if possible please!
V
Hi vijay555,
I also, like full screen and am using your toggle Today program. the HideStart didn’t work in my JAM (Arabic Windows)
I would suggest auto hide for both Start Bar and new Bar after a few second
in today screen and when there is any activity like new message, missed call
or so, the Start Bar only will show up till you clear it then it goes back to hide
again. I think this will be very nice. I assigned Start Menu to one of the Hard
Button and would be nice to have both start Bar and New Bar to show up
when pressing this Hard button!!!
Do you mind spreading your programs in other forum and mention your
name and post???
Thanks and Appreciated,
ksasat
ksasat:
Feel free to distribute any of my stuff anywhere, although try to mention my name and get people to post problems on XDA forums (ie here!)
You should be aware that Hidestart seems to cause a minor problem for me; I use a different version to the one here, so maybe that's the problem, but it seems to take focus while you're typing a message or something after a few seconds. Now one else mentioned this, so as I said, this release is just an idea and if it works for you, great! Please post here and say it works fine. But if not, please indicate here so I can look into it when I get back.
TodayToggle (the latest one) toggle start bar and new bar at the same time using one program. HideStart is English only for now - you'll have to get me the same info supplied by Switchcorp (ie arabic names).
Take care!
V
Hi vijay555
All sorts of problems with this, I'm afraid.
I can launch it ok and the dots appear, I tap them and the new bar moves up to the top... and that's it - no more functionality. I'm using Pocket Plus and think the close/minimise function might be interferring with it. It is still running but I can't do anything with it.
Assuming I can get it working, I'd like to suggest a couple of other changes...
Make the time and battery display optional, I have them visible via other methods and would prefer to see 'Start'.
Make the application 'invisible' to task lists such as Pocket Plus, SmallMenuPlus and RunningPrograms - I think this is part of the problems I'm suffering, it is an application and not a process.
I'll keep trying different combinations to see if I can get it working (and identify why/how).
Congrat's and enjoy the honeymoon!
Congratulation and have fun.

ksasat

V_Vibrate v1.0 (c) 2006 ValeraVi - This is my small program , for control a sound mode (On / Vibrate / Off) of WM5.0 PDA from command line.

Here is a list of command line parameters:
-toggle - toggle vibrate (i.e. toggle beween sound on mode and vibrate mode);
-on - vibrate mode on (i.e. set vibrate mode);
-off - vibrate mode off (i.e. set sound on mode);
-noforce - do not switch if current state illegal (i.e., for example, if current mode is sound off and you run -toggle sound will stay off);
-togglevs - toggle vibra/silence (i.e. toggle beween sound off mode and vibrate mode);
-togglesnd - toggle sound (i.e. toggle beween sound on mode and sound off mode);
-offall - vibra and sound off;
But in most cases you do not must know this parameters, because, after installing .cab file you can use a links in Programs\ValeraVi\V_Vibrate for executing any of this commands. Also you can assign any command on hardware button, place it on your favorite today programs launcher , execute it at specified time from your favorite scheduler (vibrate mode at morning, sound on mode at evening, sound off mode at night ), etc.
Great Idea but...
Hi,
I have been searching it for a long time!!!!
But I've a Magician with WM2003.. :-(
Do you think it's possible to port it on WM2003?
Thks,
Norby
No, wm2003 do not have functions for changing vibrate mode of device, that i use. May be it is exist some other method, but i do not know. When i was using wm2003 on my BA, for turning vibrate mode on / off i used script for nScriptm that emulate stylus tap's on volume bubble. Not very convenient, but for use in schedulers it is enough. I attach that my script, if you interested , but i think you may need to correct some coordinates of taps and path to ns in .lnk...
Thanks!
Dear ValeraVi,
thank you for your fast response.
I have already thought makinge a script but I didn't known where to start.
So your script and your advice are precious!
Have a good week end!
Norby
CoooooooooooL
thank you so much
Hi Valera,
your tool is a great idea. I have installed it on WM5 on Qtek 9600, and the files show in the application folder, but when I assign a hardware button, I get a pop up saying the certificate may be unknown or a component is missing...
I installed in twice onto the memory card, but for some reason its always the same.
Do you have a clue ?
Greetings

ValeraVi,
Hi.. I was ever looking for something like this... Great you have done this, however, is it possible to control the way the vibrator activated? To further elaborate, for example if I chose music ringtone the vibration doesn't intermit because it's a song tone where there isn't a break. I really wondr if it's ever possible to have the vibration stop intermittently despite the nature of the ringtone chose?
cheers.

may be this link can help you:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Hacks
(scroll down to the "Phone Settings")
But if you mean to change behaviour of v0 srcipt - then no - i do not know how to change it... may be only by using other 3rd paty calledr id software ...
Thanks ValeraVi for your reply. The link you gave me is quite close to what I wanted, it's really useful and interesting, I tried changing v0 to v2, it vibrates just for 2 seconds and stop while the ringtone (because it's a minute long) was still ringing. I'm not sure if it can vibrate for 2 seconds then stop for 1 second then vibrate for 2 seconds again and so on...? (it's something like that that I was trying to find).
I'm not sure of any third party program that has this function, would you recommend any?
thanks bro.

Thanx for this great tool! It does exactly what I want. Why didn't they build this into WM5 after all?!?
Thanx for all your effort made to create this little toy!

V_Vibrate v1.0 (c) 2006 ValeraVi - This is my small program , for control a sound mode (On / Vibrate / Off) of WM5.0 PDA from command line.

Interesting... I did something similar using Mortscript in combination with the registry hack "Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics" on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry .
Basically, for every profiles I want, I made a script. The script changes the above regisry setting (some scripts ask using a yes/no dialog box if I want vibrate on or off). I have added a small twist though: the script also copies the file that is assigned as ringtone:
In one folder, I put all the ringtones I want to use (let's call them ring1, ring2, ...). In a second folder I have copies of these files (let's call these ringA, ringB, ...). The tones ringA, ringB, ... are selected as the ringtones (both for specific contacts as for the general ringtone and sms tone. The scripts for the profiles also include copy instructions, to overwrite the files ringA, ... with files from the folder where ring1, ... are stored. I suspect this will allow me to change ringtones depending on the profile I want (I have included a file with silence, to get the behaviour of call filtering).
As a list optimization, I use the registryhack "Put custom text on bottom-right of Today screen" to display the active profile on the todayscreen.
I say "suspect" for the ringtone changes, as I haven't been able to test if the phone system effectively use the files I replaced though (my device is now sent back a 2nd time for replacement ), or only reads those files once (and caches them somewhere).

My program is not changing anything in the registry. It is using documented API functions for control global sound mode of PPC. This API functions is exist only on WM5.

I check this for you - the system is using new files, i.e. the system do not cache them and re-read them in every use.

Thanks...
I used my method with the scripts, as I'm not a software developer but wanted this kind of functionality (scripts seemed to be the easiest way to go). I know it is far less elegant to edit the registry, but no program I found allowed for what I wanted.
What my scripts also allow, is to change the ringtone assigned for specific contacts. In my contacts, some people have their own ringtones assigned in the contacts application (for instance, my colleagues have their own, as does my family).
By using soundfiles which contain only silence, I can have a call filter functionality (e.g. copy a silent soundfile to all ringtones, except for the work-ringtone). Other calls will come through, but will be inaudible (system will play back a silent ringtone).
This filtering was something I miss in most ring-profile softwares I found.
I currently only use the registry setting to be able to make a difference between vibrate or not, but I could get the same functionality using your software...

I do not know where is located in the registry some parameter, which can control global sound mode of device. Thats why i wrote this tool, which (as i mentioned above) is used only documented Windows API functions and do not use registry. If in your script you want to control global sound mode of device - just run my program from your script with desired command line parameters.
Thanks. I've been looking for this tools for my script programming.

Hi, ValeraVi!
Make PLS a command line parameter for toggle beween sound on mode, sound off and vibrate mode (in one).
Now available for PocketPC devices too ...
DontForget is easy-to-use and highly customizable Windows Mobile application that can repeatedly remind you of unread SMS text messages,
unread MMS multimedia messages, missed calls, unread E-mails and missed calendar events by sound, vibration, notification window or hardware LED.
But it is not just an extension for Windows Mobile operating systems which should already be present and preinstalled by the operating system.
DontForget also can do much more. You can also schedule to automatically switch your device to certain profile, switch to the Flight-mode in given time of deactivation and much more.
And, by purchasing the license you automatically get technical support, upgrades and future enhancements and the income is used to contribute to special school for sightless children.
Even that version for PocketPC offers nearly the same features as the version for Smartphone, they are internally very different.
PocketPC version is build on complettely new basis so it can take advantage of this sub-platform and it is optimized for 24/7 usage – especially for minimal CPU load
and for tight cooperation with the Windows Mobile OS Power Management.
Key features include:
• wide range of monitored events (SMS, MMS, missed calls, calendar events, unread e-mails, voicemails)
• choose sound to play for reminder notification (5 sound samples included)
• manual or automatic (according the profile) sound volume
• selectable repeat time interval and repetition rate
• selectable vibration and LED alert (device specific, read further down)
• wide range of deactivation setting (in selected profile, in the Flight-mode or specified time period)
• highly customizabled deactivation and re-activation actions (action scheduling) like:
• switch the device to the Flight-mode or back to GSM mode (Phone on/off)
• switch to selected phone profile
• execute or open selected application or file
• scheduled reboot (soft-reset) to automatically reboot your device in preset weekdays and time to keep your device healthy
• Flight-mode switching and automatic reboot feature is working even the device is locked or secured by the SIM PIN
• full support and utilization for the Windows Mobile Power Management and low CPU load optimalization
• multilanguage support (English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Czech, Slovakian, Polish, Russian and Chinese)
You can find more information and the download at the application page.

I'm currently using PhoneAlarm to do have reminders for unread SMS, E-Mail etc.
However, I really like the idea of this app. Maybe when I'm tired of PhoneAlarm, I'll give this a try.
For someone might be an advantage DontForget doesn't resides on the Today screen - it's really hidden and working in the background.
It also means it is optimized for 24/7 usage – especially for minimal CPU load and for tight cooperation with the Windows Mobile OS Power Management.
Hujer,
I have followed your program for quite some time. This is great!!!!
Curious G
Sounds promising, will give it a try.
Perhaps you can add a reminding by rule, eg. on file oder registry changing.
or on
- cell
- service provider
- low battery
- incomming eMail, SMS or MMS (by keywords)
etc.

Yes, I've played with this idea some times ago ... but finally I ended up - this is just waste of time.
In general, all LED features are very device and even OEM specific and may not work in the same way or correctly on all devices.
And I don't want to produce a hack - rather a stable and correctly running application, which will work in the same manner on all WM devices.

No hacking at this point, but i think at hklm/system/state/ exists a lot of interesting states.
eg. /phone/cell broadcast, /radio ready state, and so on.
With a reminder on file changing i could run a batch-file (with tinybatch.exe) that will backup the corresponding file.
And with the possibility to make reminders by rules, DontForget would become a universal tool.
Hi hujer,
thank you for the app. I waited a long time for DontForget PPC. I tried a lot of other reminder soft and wasn't happy with them.
No I have an error message after executing DontForgetAdmin " Exception Configuration.Write: NullReferenceException". And after a softreset DontForget doesn't start automatically. How can I change this?

Of course, I would like to help you and fix this problem. I'll need your help.
Please, contact me via e-mail you can find on the Support page.
there is a way to enable repeat reminders for sms/email/etc that doesn't involve paying $15.
i have no problem buying software, but i can't believe how much people are charging for such a simple app.... $15 to just repeat a notification? yeah ok.. i'll settle for the free edit-the-registry-version. i bought far more complex apps for much reasonable prices.
these forums seem to be going from contributions to commercial apps and blatant advertisements.
Two points from me......
1. @tft - yeah, there's a free "edit the registry" option which, IMHO, sucks big time as it keeps on reminding you even after you've dealt with the call or SMS or email or whatever......free it might be, useful it is not!!
2. @hujer - liking what you've done so far but I'd like to have the ability to set different sounds for different reminder types (like my current "app of choice" - AlarmPal - does).....I place more importance on missed calls than I do on missed SMS's, so if DF had different sounds for each event then I would know what I'd missed without having to look at my phone.
Keep up the good work!!
Mark.

DontForget is not about "repeated notification" only - there are also some other possibilities and features (hoping you read about).
If you think it's so simple to write such app which reflects all possible states and WM Power Management and a couple of other things - write your own itself.
And then, when you are finished, we can polemize about ...

Yes, this feature is on my ToDo list, but actually finishing real PocketPC version had bigger priority. Other words: I will add this possibility in (some) future release, definitely.
Get the minor update now.
DontForget is still growing. There will be more and more options and possibilities in the near feature.
And don't forget this is not just a another reminder application, with DF you can manage more e.g. schedule periodic reboots (soft-resets) to keep your device healthy etc.
Version 2.62 for Smartphone and 2.02 for PocketPC released - recomended update
This is recomended update for all to avoid problems reported by some users
who had troubles to run DontForgetAdmin e.g. after ROM update etc.
More info you can find here: http://magazin.softimage.cz/dontforget/news/
Version update 2.63(SP) and 2.03(PPC) released
This update for Smartphones and PocketPCs contains some internal fixes.
Mainly this version fixes the problem with LED and/or Vibration alert on devices which have more than 2 system LED lights defined (like HP iPAQ 614c)
causing the device does not vibrate (or LED-blink) on remiders.
Please also note you can use DontForget application to simply fix the "Amber LED not blinking on Reminders" problem.

17-12-2008 Beta Release 4 (version 1.0.BETA-4)
Fix some stability problems with regards to Navigation windows manipulation
Fix localised folder path support for non-english rom
Added support for Garmin Que (Garmin Mobile XT predecessor), on top of existing TomTom & Garmin MXT.
14-12-2008 First Beta Release (version 1.0.BETA View attachment 137081
First Beta Release
Support following configurable settings (see screenshot)
Navigation Application - Currently Garmin Mobile XT & TomTom Navigation are supported)
Screen Orientation - support portrait (default) and landscape
Volume - Enable (default) or disable the option to set the system volume to maximum level automatically
Bluetooth Mode - Enable or disable (default) the option to turn on bluetooth radio automatically
Display Brightness - Enable or disable (default) the option to turn display to maximum brightness automatically
** You need to set the navigation software in the panel configuration UI for it to work **
To Do List
Improve the UI with animated icon, to replace text status
Revamp panel UI as a navigation dashboard, instead of Garmin or TomTom navigation screen. Garmin/TomTom will be activated/displayed on demand.
I have posted something related to the topic in another thread, but thought I would now create a thread separately to discuss this topic, given that there's some progress being made over the weekends.
Of course, this panel was developed as a prototype, based on a personal need, as well as for me to examine what panel SDK has to offer. so it may not necessary be suitable/useful for others (different spin for different people!). But I do welcome feedbacks/ideas, if it helps to bring the panel development to a new height
After I owned the Xperia, and read about the concept behind the panel, I thought it was a very innovative idea. The point about panel, in my own interpretation, is that different people has different primary usage of the pda phone, and for each individual, the primary usage also changes based on a certain event or time of the day. For e.g, when I'm in the office/meeting, I uses the phone PIM software to ensure that I don't miss the next meeting. Once I'm taking my break, or having some personal entertainment time, I would be either watching a movie or listening to mp3. Each panel indicates the primary "theme" of the moment, and so I thought I could create something similiar when I'm in my car.
So there comes the idea of Navigation panel, since I always switch on my Garmin Mobile XT, while making sure that the volume is set to the maximum while my car's handsfree carkit is connected to my pda phone.
The prototype has shaped very well over the long weekend.
1. Garmin Mobile XT is the background application for the panel (could extend to other navigation applications such as TomTom or Mapking)
2. Automatically set the volume to maximum, turn on bluetooth (so that I can connect to my car's handsfree carkit), rotate the screen to landscape mode
3. Toggling panel (i.e. pressing of the panel button) will quit the Garmin application automatically. Quitting Garmin (i.e. pressing the 'X' button in the UI) will switch back to the panel list page (finally found the way to call the panel manager, but would be checking with nelsh to see if there's a better way to manage this)
4. Will automatically revert back to the original volume level, bluetooth mode and orientation once the panel is unloaded.
5. Could have turn on the display brightness to maximum and disable pin-lock, but at this point, I have not done anything since I don't need them yet grin.gif
here's the video clip of the prototype in action

yes, that's the plan, but it means I have to start working on the configuration UI, which I have not done so yet. However, I do need the executable path of Tomtom, and the window name of Tomtom, so if you can provision these information, I can work on it later.

I hope I can release the alpha version this weekend for limited testing. The current panel is alittle flakey, so that's what I'm hoping to resolve in the next few days.
tarnaman said:

Click to collapse
Probably more for my own requirements. I don't need to use bluetooth unless I'm in my car (so that the phone can connect to my BT car kit) In anycase, it doesn't turn off once the panel exits, it merely reset back to the last bluetooth mode prior to the navigation panel activation.
Would be looking at TomTom as well. If you could disable all notifications (maybe allow incoming calls) from poping up, and then return them back to the previous state on exit that would be REALLY useful.
well I'm just suggesting here, but perhaps it will be better if panels are for things that DON'T NEED to be able for multitasking ---> that is multi'panels', like TF3D and others UIs out there; because IMO it is useless if an important application had to be stopped just because we need to see our real today screen regardless what application is that.
so tomtom normaly installs here on german rom:
\programme\navigator\tomtom navigator.exe
window name should be "Tomtom Navigator"
Zenkinz, could you tell me where you got that System Status tweak for Xperia?
I found something called HTC Enlarge Title Bar in an old Kaiser post, but it doesn't seem to do anything on my phone.

The panel does nothing here
I installed the cab, softrested the phone and chose the panel. Then I just see the Panel picture and the phone freezes. Not even the power button works, had to remove the battery.
Are there any programs that need to be installed for using the panel?
I use the TomTom Navigator which is installed on the Memory Card.
Update:
Okay, after a few more restarts the panel doesn't cause a crash anymore. But it does not seem to find the TomTom software, so everytime it starts it turns the screen as I wanted and then puts me back to the Today-Panel.
same thing here.... just the navigation panel screen but not going anywhere... I can open up both garmin xt and tomtom in its own program tho

did you guys run the option setting UI? Go to panel manager, select the tool button (at the bottom right corner), then select the nav panel, and click on the 'tool' icon.
Tried this out and the panel loads and the reverts back to my original panel. Does garmin need to be in a specific location for this to work? If so where? and what is the file name the panel is looking for?

Again somthing which is going to become a must-have ?
Thanks age.
Yep Yep. Another great idea, which probably is gonna be a great application.
I feel more and more happy I donated you some coffee. A great coder like you should be rewarded!
Hi Ageye,
Just started to try your G-alarm and now you start something great like this. I will for sure use this. So will start trying and give you some feedback for improvements and bugs.
Don't worry about the eye candy yet, first get it functional and bug free
Some observations:
- the current version seems to have no default profile. (like: if no rules apply, use default profile)
- If there is a time profile, there is only a starting time to be set, if there is a default profile (see first point), it would work well to have a time slot - meaning beginning and ending time - and after this time slot, it would switch back to default profile
Some first things to consider to add:
- It would be handy to have a default profile setting. Meaning a profile that would be set, when no other profiles rules are met.
- with appointment based profile, it would be good to add the possibility to use privacy of appointments. As I use my agenda for both work as well as private. However I don't want my phone to go to vibrate during a private appointment, as it needs to do during a business appointment.
That is where using the privacy would come in and make sure that only appointments with no privacy are used for switching to this profile.
No bugs to report yet
Hope this helps any.

More flexibility
Nice app...installed on Polaris and works although would like to see more improvements...
a) For the Volume, rather than specifying Normal, Vibrate, Soft - I would like to like to see the slider to increase/decrease the volume level to the amount I want for each profile...
b) I do nott know if this is possible or not - but if a command line interface can be integrated to switch profiles then - imagine the flexibilty covered. Apps like UL, TC and other UI's used for daily use can open up immense doors...once command, one icon and profile changes !!
c) Specifying of differnet Ringtones, Alerts for different profiles...
my 2p thoughts on the to do lists...a) and c) is already available on Profiles for Windows Mobile - but b) is something that would really benefit!
feature request
hi
great thing as i have wnated soemthing liek this for a while
but it would be good for it to be able to switch if a bluetooth headset or wired headset is plugged in.
also for this it would be good to have to weighting system whereby this would override a profile that would have been in use already.
cheers for the app interesting to see what the future hold for it.
Yes you are on a trail to take over the mobile world..
Great idea..
G-Alarm is one of the BEST softwares ihave used on any windows platform...BRILLIANT!
Keep it up!

some observations:
appointment based profiles seem to work. Unfortunately time scheduled profiles don't work when the device is in standby mode for too long time. Will fix this severe bug asap.

@1: default profile - good idea. G-Profile has already this function but only very basic. If there is no active profile and there is an appointment it remembers the default values and restores them afterwards...
But you're right: a default profile is important...
@2: time profiles will be improved in some later version with many different time patterns (similar to G-Alarm)
@3: privacy of appts: unfortunately this requires some more work because this is not in the registry but in pocketoutlook itself. I'll add it - promised!

i mean that if you one set on an appointment rule set up and then you were to plug in a headset that the headset rule would over be favoured over the appointment rule.
Useful if a lecture ends early i dont need to mannually put up the volume again it will just be done by the new profile being selected.
b) very good idea. Of course, this is possible! I will add this feature...
** Thanks - Am sure this will really benefit.
c) different ringtones: good idea, which alerts do you mean?
** By Alerts - what I meant was to be able to change the tones for SMS/MMS/Ringtones etc - this way - let's say - when I am at work - I could change the tones to something decent/soft and while with friends/outside - I could have other ringtones/alerts.

Since you usually have the time to develope the good apps and you continue developing, I have some ideas for you
GPS support
Cell towers support
Like you can have it change profiles depending on where it is at what time. I think just time support, cell tower support, and gps support = awesome . Take a look at CommMgrPro to see what I'm saying. I like CommMgrPro, but I just feel the developer got too ahead of himself and added WAY too many things :|
New version released: v0.2
This version should be reliable. If something doesn't work for you, please follow the steps how to post bugs on page 1.
Changelog:
[ADDED] Appointment-based: Specify the sensitivity
[ADDED] Change your profiles via command line: "\Program Files\ageye\G-Profile\gprofilesrv.exe id" whereas id is the id of the profile. You can find the id when you edit an existing profile on the first page under the text field.
[ADDED] Default profile
[FIXED] Time-based profiles don't work
Download:

I probably won't have much time the next days to work on my tools. Please keep the ideas coming. Until next weekend G-Profile may have passed all of your and mine tests and will become publich on ageye.de
Thats looking great. Downloading and testing this new version.
Appointment based is working OK so far. Going to Vibrate during the meetings, and back to normal profile afterwards.
Will let you know if I find anything.
Found the first error message
This happened when syncing with my PC, hence updating my calendar appointments. (See below pictures)
Running the latest Hyperdragon Rom (Hyperdragon IV light) on a Kaiser.
Kaiser attached to PC and actually in process of Synchronizing changed / added agenda items
G-Profile version v0.2
Edit: Actually, after this error, even if I re-start, re-install, soft reset. It keeps showing this error message.
Edit2: I played a little more, and narrowed it down to the sensitivity. If I select nothing here, it works, If I select something, I get the error message.
Hope this helps.
Hello.
Since You added a Flight Mode to G-Alaram, it will be easy to move it here, to G-Profile.
It will be great, to have scheduled Phone on/off with auto pin entering,
I mean for example: my device will turn off radio in late evening and turn it on in early morning.
What do You thing about this?
Regards.

I think this is already a feature in the current version. Although you need to set it yourself. You can add a profile, and turn of all radio (Wifi, BT), and turn it back on again later by setting default profile on connectivity tab, phone to Enable.
Pin code you can add under menu.
But yes, idea is great. Create a category called flight in my agenda with my flight data, and have G-profile switch to flight mode automatically.
