Is it possible to create a PC app that allows you to set all the fundamental settings on the phone. Using the inbuild apps is a pain
Settings like date, time, background image, notification settings and tones etc could be made from the comfort of your PC using the mouse and keyboard

hi,
I've created an application that runs in kiosk mode. However, there sometimes appear certain system popups (e.g., when a GPRS connection is being established). Quick users can then tap the "Settings" field in the popup and access parts of the system that I want to prevent (no possibility for the user to access system settings).
Thus, is there any possibility to disable those popups? (Preferably, disabling should work programmatically...)
(I'm using the HTC ARTEMIS, sw is developed in native c++ using MS Visual Studio 2005).
best regards,
Günther
I've used several profile applications but they are over-the-top. I'd like simple profiles application that I can create different profiles and activate them from the today screen.
p.s. most profile applications I use changes my default sound/notification settings. Some can't use my custom ringtones, etc.

I use Pocket Zen Phone. Very cheap and once set up very simple and will do exactly what you want. Just use Google to find it.
This is what it looks like. You can download the icons you want to use from the PZP web site.
I came up with this idea due to mbvarian's landscape fix for manila using mortscript. However, that thread is nearly dead and im hoping my problem can get resolved and we can see a cool app out of this.
Concept: Choose which program launches and closes when opening/closing your keyboard, with exceptions for specific applications (like lock orientation, minimize, close, etc)...
Why im requesting:
Im using spb mobile shell and love my custom portrait layout, id love to open the keyboard from the today screen and launch my secondtoday layout... when I close the keyboard, minimize secondtoday, and if i open it again it unhides secondtoday... the benefit here is a lightning fast switch between layouts, especially if you can lock the programs orientation in memory individually.
Other examples of how this might be useful:
1) From the dialer screen, you could set a mortbutton menu to pop up when you open the screen to give you a add number, contacts, recent calls, call voicemail, etc.
2) From calendar, opening keyboard could automatically switch to create a new appointment
3) From file explore, you could set mortbuttons to display your favorite folders, i.e. start up, storage card, windows, start menu, pictures
4) From text messages, it could launch a new text message, close it and sends and closes...
Im sure you all get the idea... I just think it would be cool to take a little bit more control of our phones by adding some additional control over a keyboard that is taken for granted a bit. I mean ftouchsl and ftouchflo are great, but if the touchscreen has that level of in-depth control, i think the keyboard could too...
Feedback is greatly appreciated... and if anyone can help on my spb problem, please message me the modded mortscript... the spbwatcher i think is whats affecting my results.
bump... anyone?
I would love something like this, but im not sure how easy it would be, a mortscript might be able to do it.
A cool app would be, when the phone is suspended, if you turn it on by sliding the keyboard it opens a new textmessage, or some other app you use with keyboard open. But if you slide it when the phone is already on, it doesnt do anything, so as not to disrupt the app you are currently using.
Need Help: Example app to control buttons & slider for output to serial via WiFi/BT
I am not very familiar with App Inventor, and can not seem to locate any software that will allow a complete noob to work on an app with a WYSIWYG interface.
Is there a way I can create an app and assign buttons and sliders to allow me to send serial commands out to a WiFi or Bluetooth connection?
If I saw sort of a sample or a template on how a button and a slider is to be set up on App Inventor I bet that I could duplicate it and continue on my own from there.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me out (would not mind buying you a beer or two).

Did u ever use a WP8 Devices? It seems u didnt to me
- more themes and customization for tiles
- ability to intercept sms by apps so we can have more than one sms app.
- folders
- ability for app to use all ringtones available
- ability to save live tile layout for different occasion
- Gapless playback
- Sleep timer built-in
Im not sure if this thread would end up in something usefull. U should better try to find some solutions for ur problems and post them here. U could also try to find as much as possible things u miss or dont like on wp8 but that wont change anything.
Maybe its much better to post all this on the microsoft suggestion forum. i dont have the link but u should find it with google
