View Full Version : Profile Manager that ISN'T on Today?

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my phone exactly how I like it, and one of the last things remaining is phone profiles.

I don't want to use a plugin for the Today screen, but a seperate app that will pop up when asked and closed when finished.

So far I've looked at PPCProfiles-Pro, PhoneAlarm, and PocketZenPhone, but they all require me to use them as a plugin (except for PZP, which I just didn't like).

Does anyone have any suggestions? I just want to map it to one of the side buttons of my device.

Thanks
Morien

SPB Phone Suite's Today screen plugin can be disabled. I use it for auto profiles.

Thanks, but unless I'm missing something, that isn't really what I'm looking for.

I'm trying to keep my today screen clean (just have rlToday plugin with a big clock face on it) and want to make one of the side buttons open a profile manager where I can choose what profile I want (Loud, Normal, Silent, Vibrate, or what-have-you). Hell, I'd settle for the Comm Manager if that allowed me to choose Normal, Vibrate or Silent (seems to only allow Normal or Vibrate).

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

have you tried linking one of your buttons to PPCProfilesPopup.exe

You don't need to run it as a today screen plugin to select the profile.

One caveat, under WM6x PPCProfiles takes a few (5-10) seconds to completely apply the profile. This delay, plus the horrible UI keeps me searching for a better profile manager, but it's usable.

(Running PPCProfiles without the taskbar or today plugin prevents the auto profile from working, I don't care about this, so it doesn't matter to me, but full disclosure...and all that...)

Seems like PZP has been looked at and rejected.
