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

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.

Ring tone Profiles like nokia

Hello all,
Does anyone know if there is a program that allows you to set various ring profiles like on the nokia phones. This is a very useful and quick way of changing ring settings. :roll:

Hi,
I use phone alarm from pocketmax and have done for about 6 months. I think it works perfectly especially when getting on a flight.
www.pocketmax.net
Hope that helps,
M.

Or try PocketZenPhone, it's much easier that PocketAlarm.

Try PocketZenPhone, is the better!!

Have to say originally I tried - ok 6 months ago - PocketZenPhone and didn't like it. It hung alot and just didn't integrate well. Haven't tried the newer version.
Phone alarm though I like for the following reasons:
1. Allows MP3 SMS tones
2. Repeating alarms (like Motorola) to avoid missing alarms
3. Integration with WebIS mail
4. Integration into Today screen
5. Skins
6. GPRS settings
7. General notification settings
It seems to do what PocketZenPhone does and more. Just my opinion though
M. :lol:

Here you go!
Hi mates,
I have spent several days looking for a phone profiler (ala Nokia) as much simple as possible... no whistles and bells, no bloatware... just profiles.
I miserably failed!
So I decided to develop myself a software solution to accomplish this simple task.
I am so happy with it that I have decided to share it with you.
It is completely FREE. Take it as it is, of course!
I've been using it for several weeks now, and could not experience any failures. Nonetheless there could be bugs or malfunctionings I would be glad to fix if you let me know.
My "Phone Profiles" includes a control panel Applet to change your settings and a Today Item plugin to easily select or change the current profile.
Just select the today item, tap-n-hold (or hold the action button down) to display a popup menu with your profiles.
For all the CLaunch lovers, it also possible to activate a given profile from a command line using the following sintax:
ctlpnl.exe profiler.cpl, n, 1
where n is the profile number. Change 1 to 0 if you want just to edit the profile's settings.
This software has been tested on WM2003SE Phone Edition only.
That's all, I guess.
Enjoy.
M. Panzica (aka Silver Bullet)
UPDATED: Looks like it does not work properly if compiled with VS2005. Recompiled with eVC4. Please re-download. Sorry.

Pocket Zen Phone can be found at http://zendrui.free.fr/ :wink:

@TheBrit
Do you mean you didn't like mine ?

@slvrbllt - does your profiler work on WM5 - I have a universal and am interested to know if it works on that. I can't test it on it tho just now cuz it's away for repair

@NinjaDonkey:
Nope, buddy.
As far as I know it doesn't work (yet) on WM5, since I use API calls that require the code to be signed. I am currently working on a new version that is supposed to be running on WM5 as well... stay tuned.

I'm sure yours is just fine.
I've been using PZP for a while now and it really does the trick. It not only profiles ring tones but lots of other settings too. 8)

...and here is the ITALIAN version many of you have requested.
Cheers.

hi! i'm a new magician user. may i ask how will I install your Profiler to my phone?

Try PocketZenPhone or PhoneAlarm
Those 2 should be the best in the market now
I just try both of them as of late
And I must say I choose PhoneAlarm better than PZP, PZP is a little slow and would hang once in a while
Plus PhoneAlarm got more feature like billing info, better skining...ext

@Silver Bullet: Could you post some screenshots please?
Greetings,
BGK

PZP has full instuctions here: http://zendrui.free.fr/

Hi,
I just downloaded and installed your little program on my Magician, and I am seriously impressed! The Today DLL is a mere 12k, and everything works flawlessly so far!
Great job - thanks a lot!
Would you allow me a few comments, in no particular order?
- your program needs a name.
- the GPRS problem that PZP has seems to not exist in your program - well done! I'm almost convinced to switch...
- this thread here is about the three existing profiles programs. Could we have a separate thread for your program?
- would you care to comment how you manage to switch on/off Bluetooth? I remember that for Zendrui this was not easy to implement. Does your program also handle Widcomm stacks?
- I would be interested in a German version, and if you send me a string table, I'd be more than happy to to provide German translations.
- one wish: I certainly do not want all of the settings PZP offers, but there are a few I do miss:
-- setting the volume for system sounds. There are situations where any sound is unacceptable, even the beeps when tapping.
-- set the backlight time-out. For example, when I navigate, I do not want the backlight to turn off at all.
-- backlight level independently for battery and charging mode.
Yes, I know that this already sounds like beginning featuritis. But afaik all these settings are simple registry entries, so should not bloat the code. Trying to put this into the UI may be a bit tricky. Well, just my personal wishes - feel free to ignore if you disagree.
Overall, I find it a really well-done little program. Thanks a lot again!
Cheers
Daniel

In my opinion the best is Profiler :lol: Very simple and friendly program.

Combined LG Prada/Voyager Today Plugin

I found a really software that I want to share with everyone. Thanks to sundar_amn for this great find.
If you guys have seen the LG Prada or the LG Voyager phone, you will noticed that this plugin looks really nice with nice user interface. It might need a lil TWEAk to activate a few programs when pressing the buttons.
So far buttons that does not respond:
In Phone Menu: NewMMS
In Media Menu: Java Manager
In Utility: Voice Recorder brings up Task, instead of Voice Recorder
In Settings Menu: Backlight, USB Stick, Bluetooth, and Power does not respond.
If anyone can tweak this, it would be a great plugin. I'm trying to see through registry and other ways but could not find it.
Also, Software that is packaged into the plugin are PocketCM, GSFinder+, and GSAlarmClock.
FYI: Don't know who the real Author of this app though, but thanks

I installed it great theme but i need to know if someone can make a configuration file for this. i want to mainly add new icons/programs n change program paths. thanks in advance

Thats really one of the best plugins for the today screen that i know.
As long as there is no tool to configure it, i cant use it anyway...
Could someone please build that?
I love the fact thats its fingerfriendly!
thanx

02 plus
I also found an awesome plugin on this site. its called 02 plus, I love it, you can add several pages of icons and all the pages are easily accessabe by named tabs. the ONLY problem i have with it is my dialer pops up randomly.Especially after downloading,installing or changing programs. its such a handy tool im willing to live with the glitch but if anyone knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it!!! if anyone is interested in it here is the .cab for it. thanks in advance for any help given.

Hey, I am new to this whole changing stuff on your phone and tweaking it and all that. Now i see you guys have posted files. Do I only need to put the file on my phone and it will work or how do I do it?

How To Disable HTC Messenger?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I HATE htc messenger and have been looking nonstop for a cab to disable it with no luck....PLEASE HELP!

Not sure how to disable it completely or if you have the old one still...? But google or forum search for something called "classic sms tweak" or like "sense classic sms tweak". I use it for sense 2.1 and going to SMS tab and clicking on the text brings me to the old and awesome windows mobile 6.1 SMS client !
That's as much as I can help if you use sense? Not sure if it's what you're looking for but give it a try.

1.) Install the 1st cab in this post to disable the HTC Messaging.
2.) Soft Reset
3.) Install any WVGA arcsoft .cab. I used this one by provided in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624375
4.) Soft Reset.
5.) Install the AT&T Settings.cab. This will add in the proper MEdia Net settings and ArcSoft settings for AT&T subscribers. *Note* You may need to go Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced and select MEdia Net from the list of profiles if it doesn't come up correctly.
I also added some network tweaks into the AT&T Settings.cab that I have picked up from various users all over this forum.
This may not work for all users on all ROMs but so far so good with me.

Search for "htc messaging" in thread titles or read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670224

i'm using stock rom sense 2.1 what buru898 was talkin about is what im lookin for if anyone has or know where that cab could be found it would be much appreciated

Hey I would have uploaded it before but was on my phone ;p.
Here you go man. I like my ROMS super fast instead of eye candy (even though it does look damn pretty) and also disable the stupid HTC volume because it loads up faster and I like the ringer and text/alert tones at different volume levels so if you want that one I put it here too .

I flashed a new rom yesterday and now when I write a sms I don't have the count of characters. Is that also a "feature" of the new htc messenger?
I often wrote messages of 161 to 165 characters but couldn't check it now. Any fix?

No Sent Message Confirm message Or Sound

Hi all, sorry if its been asked B4 but i cant seem to find a definite answer or solution. Thing is I cant find an option for my HD2 to play a sound when i send a txt message (just peace of mind that its been sent realy) All notifications are switched on and i get a sound when i recieve messages but nothing to confirm 'message sent'. Tried going to settings/all settings/sounds & notifications where there is the option for mms sent play sound (which i activated) the option for message doesnt offer anything for message sent tho.
Anyone have any ideas...i am using a uk stock rom that hasnt been flashed
cheers

The only solution is to upgrade to the latest ROM 3.14 which from memory does have support for message sent on sms.

thanx for that. Thought that may be the case.Was hoping there would be a way round this without flashing roms...pretty much new to this device and currently has the dreaded .51 radio, which i have heard/read can be the death of these phones if attempting to flash, so im kinda put off messing with new roms etc..
cheers

Hey mate did some more searching on this and found the solution for those on WWE1.66 rom. I upgraded the HTC messaging client and all is good now.
Goto this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6540684&postcount=30
and do exactly as he says. The link to that HTC messaging client is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676159&page=13
and use a reg editor to modify to 0 the below path:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\Messaging]
You can then go into menu/all settings/sounds and notifications/notifications tab
scroll down to event message:send succeeded and select play sound ticked and if you want display message on screen
Enjoy

Mate thanx so much for your input, I will give the above a blast later when im home from work.
one more question tho, can i dwnload a registry edit tool or is it already on the hd2 from stock, if no then is there any free or cheapo alternatives out there
thanx again

Hey no worries dude this is a great community. I use taskmanager as my reg-editor. Do a search for it It should be free..
From memory there are 3 htc sms clients. That one linked which works for me but lacks the new folder(secure box) for saving sms, one that has that secure box function inbuilt but is older version and has chinese character problem and then a totally newer client which was recently released. To be honest the version in the link above does the job for me and now plays a sound and shows a notification.
It's great you dont have to do a whole flash ROM upgrade and that you can upgrade individual programmes in this phone. Makes it a really amazing phone.

Ye i agree, at first it seemed a little intimidating thinking i had to flash roms etc to actually install 'cabs' and such to the device...But am learning as i go that this is not the case. Will continue to read, read ,read through the exellent threads on XDA and over time unlock the true potential of the device.
Thanx man, this is indeed a superb community Lookin forward to promoting myself from noob to ...err.. semi noob
