Light weight PPC ringer profile manager

Hi All
Ive been requested to develop a simple profile manager for the xda II.
My users thought thet Zen's was gr8 but too complicated and too big on the today screen.
Here is what Ive come up with thus far. If anyone is interested feel free to check it out and of course any feedback is welcomed.
Cheers
Bretto

Hi All
How it works.
Profiles :-
Silent
Turns system and ringer volume down. Can still use bluetooth and bt headset. Can still select vibrate functionality.
Soft,normal,load
User definable. Can set system volume. can set ringer volume, can use bluetooth and bt headset, can select a number of different ring options (ring, ring and vibrate, etc)
Automatic
This profile is a special one. as above but can opt to trigger on appointment status of meeting or busy. When selected it used the previously selected profile's options (if using normal then switch to automatic, normal profile settings are still in use) but when an outlook appointment of status busy or meeting starts as per outlook entry the profile changes to whatever the settings are you selected in the setup for automatic. When the appointment ends the profile settings switch back to how they were and it all goes around again for the next meeting until such time as you switch to another profile.
Here is the lastest version (v1.06 ) of the app and some screenshots.
Cheers

Hi Bretto.
I haven't installed your application yet, but why are they called 'demo'? Is this utility commercial?

Well, for Zen's PhoneProfile not only can you make the icons smaller (I used paintshop pro and reduced them 50%), so that it's smaller on teh today screen, you can now also use PocketZenPhone Tray, the version of PZP that resides in the tool tray rather then the today screen....

Hi all
Im just calling them demo versions at the moment. Of course when its finished I wont.
I was using pocketzenphone myself but I simply got pushed into this project because some of my users wanted an alternative to what else is around. Something simple that handles the basics.

IMHO:
With PocketZenPhone you can both manage the simplest options and have some more sophisticated options like run a program on profile switch, switch a profile according to any outlook status, manage all the available profiles on a timed base... etc., etc,
With it you can do all of this or just use its basic functions, and the settings page is "newbie proof" (oops...I was using a less polite expression :shock: :lol: )
Finally... I cannot see any reason to develop another application... also considering the price that PZP costs: if your nice sw will do less it will have to cost less...
But of course the choice is up to you, good luck !

I certainly appreciate your comments but I would have thought choice for the consumer was always a good thing.
Not withstanding that its users who have requested this application after reviewing whats available.
I certainly dont take anything away from PZP its a great product and Im sure will only get bigger and better. Personally I like it.
Cheers
Bretto

Thank U Bretto for a exelent work .. Love it ..
Carlis

Thanks for the feedback
I do have a new version with some enhancements that were requested.
The ability to have bluetooth on/off/leave as is.
The ability to have a point and click selection mode as well as the popup selection mode.
A couple of fixes.
The app is still being tested so when it has been cleared I'll post a new version for you.
Cheers
Bretto

Hi All
Here version 1.08 for you to play with.
Cheers
Bretto

nice work, only bad thing is the "demo" popup after setting the profile..

Hi All
Thanks very much for all your comments and feedback.
This app has been released for sale as at V1.09.
You can grab demos and the full version here.

Hi slvrbllt,
Just been to your site. Many thanks for the cycle bluetooth app, just what I was looking for.
I tried your Phone Profiles app and its good but unfortunately conflicts with my Qtek firmwares flight mode - it's a long story.
Anyway I'm trying to remove the app but finding it a little difficult. It keeps saying that /windows/profiler.dll is open or read only even after a soft reset. Any ideas how I can remove the app? It suggests doing a stop all but no apps are listed there.
Thank you,

hi slvrbllt!! Can we assign only a vibration for the new SMS without ringing (for a silent profile for example with a vibration for the ring)? Thanks for this great update!bye

Have you tried DKToday? It's a great BT cycler & more.
@slvrbllt,
Very nice app. you can expect Dutch translations soon. Only thing I like as an improvement is small buttons to quick pick a profile or a possibility to put it in the tray.
Cheers, M

Hmm, looks Good...

Thanks, I gave it a try but it has problems with flightmode also (note. these problems seem to be due to a particular Qtek firmware). I think I'll stick with radiooff and CicleBT. Thanks for the info though.

I've downloaded and installed the software, it look good !!
But when I get an incomming call the callerid popup appears followed by a short beep, not the ringtone I setup in the profile... What am I doing wrong ??
Regards,
Dennis :?

I installed it on my Dopod 818 Pro and it was working fine. However I noticed that the ringtone I assign for any profile is disregarded! It always plays the default ringtone.
So I had to remove it

[Posted to wrong thread]

I can't even install it... I just have this cab(?) file called Winmobileapps_PhoneProfiles.zip but what do I do with it? If I unzip it to my home pc, three files come out from it but none of them is an installation file (.exe)
-John

Try this link http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=15580 then

Yeah, but the specific thing here is; Where do I put the CAB file on my device - which directory??? As you can see I don't know ANYTHING about Win CE
-John

Hi John,
you'll get used to it. I suggest you put the .cab on your SD-card, either via Act.Sync, a card reader or direct download with Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE). Then click it from within File Explorer to install. I've installed it to my storage folder (not the default location) & it runs well.
Another suggestion: get caninstl (google for it), then you can choose where to install cab-files far more easily & it got an option not to delete the cab after finishing the installation.
Regards, M

Nice work slvrbllt, everything that was missing in your first post in now in it. You made me happy hehe

V1.2.0 is out!
Question for Silver Bullet: I saw there is a new feature: Hi-Res icons added.
What is exactly the feature is (I haven't install v1.2.0 yet)?
Thanks!
Regards,
Arto.

@artosoft
Hi-res Icons are for VGA devices only... ;-)
Thanks for your appreciations.

is it possible to set a vibration to an incoming SMS without a ringtone?thanks

Hi slvrbllt, i have tried your other app Flightmode on my BA WM5 and it works great. I have a question on Phone Profiles; would it be possible to add control over the backlight and power save options? This would be helpful to create a profile for "Car" for instance where i need the backlight on and power save disabled for my GPS and would be easier to setup a profile to do this.
Thanks for your applications and hard work.

Some useful CAB. files for Herald!

There are some CAB. files for your Herald. They work on other devices and on Herald also!!! You should know what they are for when seeing their names!
The CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix: After installing this, you can switch your Herald into Vibration Mode by Comm.button (press an hold in 3 seconds)
Dateandtime.cab: Date and time will be displayed both on the taskbar but depend on you, you want them to be shown all the time or only on Today screen.(settings=> system=> clock & alarm=> more...)
WM VI Batti: Your battery life is displayed on the top of taskbar. Very nice!
HTC_X-Button: Is this the same function as whats included in the HTC roms. Same but more functions! This is new version!
Soft Key Applet: this allow to change the softkeys.
Have fun!

Nice dial skin!
This is a very nice dial skin. Please try and enjoy!

Another Cab files for Herald!
Dont ask, just try!

HTC Audio Manager
Have fun with it!

thanks for this, i dont know what some of the things in the first one do, i have the tmobile wing
but i got some htc audio booster and the dialpad and the audio manager
with the 10 button com thing, is the color going to be pink or does it match with the theme?
edit: nvm, the audio boost matched the theme so I guess that answers my question, thanks for the post!

The 10 buttons Com does not match with the PPC's theme, it is green!

Battery Status & PsShutXP
They might be useful!

PPCPimbackup & nSuspend
Two more!
- nSuspend: set time to switch off your device.
- PPCPimBackup: Back up your data, mail, contacts (but no system data!)

Thanks...
Thanks for all, they are usefull tools!

First and formost thanks for posting all these great files. I hope this thread continues to grow. I really like the audio manager cab; it is much improved over the audio manager that came with my herald. However I have a few questions on the files included by the OP.
The CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix: What exactly does it fix? My function seems to work perfectly.
Dateandtime.cab: I am assuming this is the date and time on the task bar all the time?
WM VI Batti: I have no idea what this is for
HTC_X-Button: Is this the same function as whats included in the HTC roms?
Soft Key Applet: I assume this allows one to change the softkeys.
Could someone please elaborate on these cabs?

Phone Pad t9 input
Even though we have a very nice keyboard it's not always practical. For quick texts this works great.

I tried the Audio Booster file on my Wizard and it changed the skin on HTC Audio Manager. It also wouldn't allow me to check the box to activate the equalizer, so there was no sound change. Can someone check to see if there are extra settings needed to make this work?

After installing this, at first you tip on the small frame 'Equalizer' than you choose the type of equalizer (classic, normal, bass Booter...) on the under frame and than the frme on the right. it allows you to change and activate the equalizer!

Seems to work fine on mine. As to your earlier post answering my questions about the cab files. My 4350 has always went into vibrate mode when pressing the comm button. Perhaps earlier roms didn't.

Sorry but it still doesn't work. The box next to the equalizer cannot be checked and furthermore, when the settings are changed on the equalizer, the sound does not change. My gut feeling is that some registry settings are missing, but I don't have a Herald, so I have no idea if this is device specific or not.

sound profiles?

is there a way to set different sounds for different sound profiles i.e. new txt alert is silent within the silent profile but I would like a noise when the phones set to normal?
I have tried setting this in the sound settings but if I turn 'play sound' off when phones set to silent it seems to do the same thing when i change to normal mode. must be a way to change this but cant seem to work it out?
thanks for any help.

Anyone? Someone must know the answer to this?

Hi,
maybe something like:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/?en

or maybe a free Version:
http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1162

I use PhoneWeaver and it s for me the best
http://www.sbsh.net/products/windows_mobile_pocket_pc/phoneweaver

Does those Apps also work under TF3D? I suggest they only work on the normal today screen as an Today Plugin... so what about a working Profile switcher under TF3D?

Sure ... it works fine.
You just have to install "Second Tody" and here we go.

I'd love a similar app which can also change things like, how often new mail is checked for, wether BT should be on, WiFi etc. Is such an app out there?

PhoneAlarm is what you're looking for.
Go to PocketMax.net
Absolutely brilliant application! Controls just about everything
(and will work with or without Second Today)

Okay, this does look quite cool. I have it installed... but how do I select a profile? How do I run it without second today?

But how can i make a second today?

Hi,
I installed SPB phone suite but it is not compatible with TF3D. wat do i need to set? Thanks

I am also interested in this, I am trying to edit Silent Mode, when it rings I want to replace the silence with a "beep.mp3" so it just beeps any ideas?

Get PHONEWEAVER.

Manilla Sound settings shortcut?

Hi guys,
I tried searching, but to no avail...
I'm looking for a way to acces the manilla sound settings directly from the programs-tab. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Don't think you can access sub tabs directly - at least I have not found a way. Thats why I wrote 3 simple small apps that set the sound for you. they each have their own icon and just run it from where ever you want. It will load, set the sound, and exit.

And something else: The sub-tab for Comm manager IS directly accessable, I wonder if there is a way to have the same for "Sound"...

Youre right. BUt I thought that was because someone wrote a "clone" version of that page and it has been used in a lot of the mods peoiple do. Which may be worth doing if I have some spare time. I could write a manila looking screen to change the sound settings. hmmmmm..

Well This week has been real hectic. But I want you to try my first version.
I had the system and ringer volume working but unfortunatly the manila SDK I used from micyprima (Thanks!) has problems adding new controls unless you render them from scratch. Therefor if you go longer than you screen is they won't scroll like the panel items will. I may try and create some new panel items with slider controls if I have time.
Anyway the basic funtions you want should work.
Let me know.
