[sushilange]

Hi guys,

with this tool you can switch between 'volume on' and 'vibrate' by shaking your phone :-)

Just run it and click on 'Hide', so that it always run in background.

Please test it and tell me if the sensivity is ok and if it's not drain your battery to much.


Please donate for me! I'm a student and I spend all my free time for developing tools for you!

A lot of settings for parameters. Just play around with them, because it's difficult to explain them.
At the moment settings will be lost, after closing my app.
application icon added

Version 0.1 (07/09/08 18:50 pm)

first release

Best regards,

Sounds nice!

But how "hard" do you have to shuffle? I mean can it happen accidentially for example by running with the phone in your pocket?

[sushilange]

Sounds nice!

But how "hard" do you have to shuffle? I mean can it happen accidentially for example by running with the phone in your pocket?


That's why it takes so long until i published this app.

I coded it so, that nothing can happend! Only if you shuffle the device, it change to vibrate or back to volume on.

I think it is not possible, that this happens, when you having your phone in your pocket ..... ok i don't know what you are doing the whole day...maybe it is possible :D

[daren1]

COOL!

Not to be ungrateful...but would it be possible to write something similar that will put an alarm into "Snooze" mode?

eg...Alarm goes off and instead of me having to navigate through the menu's to stop or snooze, I would just shake it?

[borgqueenx]

i'd like to have a function by shuffling the diamond, that the screen goes on or off...

[horstborsch]

well done!

But is there any notification if you shake it that the status change is preformed?
So if you do it with the screen switched off you need a feedback if it was sucessfull. Maybe one beep for vibrate and two beeps for volume on?

[sushilange]

COOL!

That sounds cool! I'll figure out that.

It doesn't work, when the device is in standby!

If the device is on, you see it in title bar.

But i could also add a vibration feedback when switching.

[MonteCristoffOn]

:D Nice trick !
I will have a look at this...
Thanks !

@sushi : did you use the Gsensor API for that ?

;)

[crazy cat]

its perfect!

[sushilange]

@MonteCristoffOn:
I figured it out by myself, how to use the gsensor.

But at the end it was easier and faster to use the finished api, which was published a few days ago.

[neoTheone]

Works great so far!! But one question: Would it be possible to start the app completely in the background like a service? Thanks alot for your work!!

cheers

[sushilange]

Yes, that's what i want to do in one of the next versions.

[neoTheone]

very sweet indeed!! I would also vote for a short vibration feedback after switching and customized actions to perform.. Thank you :)

[sushilange]

After testing, i figured out, that my app works when the phone is in standby. First i said, that it won't...

In next release i give you the possibilty to change parameters, so that we can find the optimal settings.

[Radeon123]

Works great on the TLR V2 Rom :D

Would also love to have a little vibrate when the profile is switched.

Thanks for the cool app :)

[KukurikU]

thank you again, i don't know if the "cup of coffee" link is there because of my suggestion (from the thflo3d thread) or it was already there but i think i did good use of it;).
not enough for a mercedes or a new girl friend but sure enough for at least a "six pack":D
thank you!

[sushilange]

not enough for a new girl friend

What a shame! I need a new girl friend so much :D

But, thank you very much! :)

[akito]

In next release i give you the possibilty to change parameters, so that we can find the optimal settings.

Yes please provider a slider or something to be able to set the sensitivity by ourselves..... cuz sometimes when I shake it, it changes... other times it doesn't :p But the intention of this program: I love it!

[dzign-it]

Working Great!!

Awesome App!

i agree with other comments about the below....

As mentioned, a small vibrate or noise ( maybe make a noise when switch to loud, and vibrate it when switch to vibrate ??)

The shake to "wake up" the fone sounds awesome.
also shake to snooze or turn off the alarm.

Also things such as turning the phone over would work well with the alarm functions, and turning off the alarm

How about turn phone over to snooze alarm... shake it to stop alarm ??? :-)

[akito]

Thinking of things... perhaps you can make a 'record' function to record the users shake. Like that it can react to the way the users shakes instead of a pre-defined sensitivity :D

[Radeon123]

Also could this app to added to the AppToDate program.

[Sergio PC]

Goddd dude thanks! Really its persons like you that are gonna make this phone Kics A** (It already does anyways)

[checkstedas]

@sushi: What a great idea! Installing it right now..! Thx dude!!


maybe make a noise when switch to loud, and vibrate it when switch to vibrate ??



Also a great idea! :-D

[zme999]

Fantastic...

Just what I was hoping for when I started my "Shaking the Diamond" thread:)
I'm starting to feel that there is no limit to what we can do with our roughly cut Diamond... It's realy starting to shine:D

Two improvements already mentioned in this thread that would make it perfect is 1. that the program runs completely in the background like a service
2 that it give some kinda sound/vibration to confirme the switch

Thanks again a keep up the fantastic work
Peace out...

[cina]

Hi!

This is awesome!
To be most flexible the user should be able to select a prog (script/exe or anything) to execute on shaking. That would make your life much easier not to pump your code based on requests... :)
Cheers, Cina.

[sushilange]

The vibration feedback works! 1x long on changing to vibrate and 2x short on changing volume on.

I release the next version with vibration feedback soon as possible! ;)

[Brevi]

It would be great to have the option to select a sound as additional confirmation. I think that would be really cool *shake...beep* (yeah I know what you think...nerd alert)
Would it be possible to add it to apptodate?
Thanks a lot for this great app!!!

But, thank you very much!

Love you for this... Wanna be my girlfriend? :D lol :)

[ratcom]

I must admit sushilange (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=575886) your making a really name for yourself around here ;)
WELL DONE and keep up the work!

[_Nomad_]

Great work... Very useful app, had a similar one for my n95, and I must admit that once you start using it, it gets rather addicting :D

Greatly looking forward to the next version with vibrating feedback;)

ohh... and you can definitly look forward to a cup of coffee, courtesy of me:D

[Urosh]

Hi!
I also like very much the idea.
I use a profile switcher mostly for bluetooth discoverability.
Do you think it would be possible to add also the option of switching on bluetooth?

Thnx for the answer!

Urosh

[MarcLandis]

This is a nice idea to use the g-sensor. Now I know where the vibrate source code is used in :-)

[Swiftblade]

The vibration feedback works! 1x long on changing to vibrate and 2x short on changing volume on.

I release the next version with vibration feedback soon as possible! ;)

One hell of the application for the accelerator and now with vibration feedbacks too... WOW

You should put your knowledge to better use like incorporating a "shaking up and down" app will automatically donate a cup of coffee to you...haha :D:D

Great works and well done!

[davidebeatrice]

testing by one day... i think it will be great if it's a little more sensitive...
by the way thx! very cool app!!!:D

[sushilange]

For every feature that has nothing to do with changing from vibration mode to volume on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406921

[zmob123]

I am not reading the threads so sleepy, but would it be possible to create a setting to adjust the sensitivity. Like say I am in my office, and teh phone rings, the phone is on the desk and doesnt need to be shaken hard at all, the increased sensativity applies. At a theme park on a rollercoaster, lowest settiing applies. Also why not just put the options in and the app then only does that function, like shake to wake, shake to answer, shake to end, shake to change profile, shake and bake.

[DiemetriX]

@zmob123: If your phone rings at work you can just turn it face down, it will mute the call ;)

[--jj--]

I'm pretty new to this site, where do I find the version with the vibration function?

[sushilange]

It's not online yet. But it'll coming soon!

[helterskelter]

I don't know how you guys are shaking, but I don't find it sensitive enough.
It always takes several shakes for me to get it to react.
So at the moment, instead of looking like some retard having an epileptic seizure I'd rather press the volume rocker for 2 secs.

[--jj--]

I can't wait, I'm using the "First" version now and it's great. Thanks a lot so far...

[KukurikU]

:D loved that !:D almost fall down from the chair...LOL!

[horstborsch]

ok we need a personal sensitivity setting :) that would be great

and sometimes when i shake my Diamond the taskbar opens instead of a status change is preformed?!

[SkizZO]

This can be an hint... Assign some movement as an upper right corner tap, so the ok/x button (and taskmanager) are assigned to one type of shake ;)

[fraggar]

When shaking you need feedback if it worked.
Feedback like vibration or a sound.

Now I'm not sure if it worked, I need a couple of tries often.
So feedback would be nice :-)

[open_source]

very cool App, as mentioned customizeable sensibility would be awesome.
thank you.

[sushilange]

New version online!

Just play around with the settings. I cannot explain them, because then i have to explain my whole sourcecode for understanding.

[Superloko]

Great work...

@all users: Tell us which settings working great! ;-)

After 1h testing these are my settings:
100
300
1
1
1
1
2
1

With this settings it´s in my opinion impossible to change the profile accidentaly. You´re changing the profile moving it not very fast (but also not to slow :D) left-center(right)-left.


Notice:
1. The program doesn´t work when the display is off.
2. After closing the program all the settings made will be cancelled and the next time you open the program you will see the default settings. I hope v.0.3 will come soon.
3. The program need 286k of ram. Can you improve something in future versions?

to 1.: That will be never possible, because all running applications are stopping, when your device goes to standby

to 2.: I know. It's not implemented yet, as I said in the changelog

to 3.: Hm.. I think there is nothing to improve, because there a just a few code lines. The 'big' ram usage is caused by the sensorapi i think.

[Riel]

One question (works like a charm!)

Why shake 'left right'?

I was trying like hell to get it going good, shaking up-down like a can of soda or something :p

That's more natural for me?

... or maybe I'm unnatural myself ...

[absul123]

Hi this is a great tool from the replies i read but my problem is very simple I am new to the Diamond just yestrday I bought it and wanna to install your tool but don't know how?? can you help please...thank you again and wish you all the luck

You are absolutely spot on , saved 1 hr testing of mine.I tried the above settings and these work really cool.

[vijayvasa]

sushil ur work is simply superb, hope we will get so many features with this useful cab.:)

[absul123]

can U help please. i need to know how to install the tool on my diamond>

[sushilange]

Just run the cab and after installing run the installed application.

[absul123]

sorry, but i got azip file with 5 files do u mean i transfer them phone and run the installation from there? thnakyou

[sushilange]

Yes of cource! CAB-Files have always be running on your mobile phone, not on your pc ;-)

[absul123]

thnk you for your patints with me. last question:
1. where do i transfer on the phone?
2. do I transfere the sip or un zip them

[fedino87]

Hi Guys,
I'm sorry for my bad english, but I'm writing because I was installed this app, but not works on my diamond.. I tried to install both in mydevice and in internal storage but the result is the same..
Maybe I don't understand how I move the diamond or I have other problems but I don't know..
Help please,
Thanks

[sushilange]

Do you run the application after installing?

[fedino87]

Do you run the application after installing?

Yes, of course.. I hide the app

[sushilange]

Just move your Diamond ca. 5cm to the left, and then 5cm to the right. Do this fast, so that you shake your diamond.

[fedino87]

I tried, but nothing..

[sushilange]

If you have a Diamond, the gsensor is not damaged and you shaking your device in the right way it have to work...

[fedino87]

I don't know how but the app changed two time the audio profile.. the parameter of config what's mean?

I think that the gsensor work well because gsen and teeter works..

[sumitescp]

I will try this later on tonight. It seems to be a great app.

[joemax]

Please make all sushilange's apps Stickies :D

Maybe an apps page kept up to date my the mods ??

Sorry still new here so fully prepared to be spanked if I'm out of order ;)

[meyerma2]

I really like this small tiny application which again makes my D different from other phones.... Is there any way to automatically run it in hide mode when switching on the phone?

Just put the CAB on your internal device memory. Then click the cab in your device explorer and it wil install it self. When you launch the program you can edit it.

Good luck...

Works ok on mind but with these settings above you really have to shake it hard. Which is good in some ways but my girlfriend walked in when I was testing it and the look she gave me was priceless:):):)

I agree! Should be run as a service in background! This would be a great feature!

[Noam23]

How much battery are we sacrificing by making the g-sensor always on ?

[adwinp]

Hey Sushi.

Is there any way to start the profile switcher, minimized?
I usually add it to startup, but it's a hassle to get it popped up with every restart.

Maybe add this option in 0.2.1 ?



Cheers and good continuation.

[doc-database]

Hi,
this program is very useful.
Perhaps it is possible to put this program into the autostart and hide it automaticaly.
:)

[MacMortigan]

I got it in Autostart, works fine!

Please just incorporate a proper hide like GSEN.
Currently it is still under executed programs...

Thanks!

:)

[aTomo]

It works fine thank you very much!

Now sins you have used the gsensor for this ap do you think it is possible to use the light sensor in the speaker to put the screen on and off during phone calls in another aplicaton? A little bit like the iphone, when you take the phone to your ear it gets dark for the sensor - switch of the screen. And when you take it from the ear during a phone call it receives more light and put the screen back online.

What do you think about that?

[m1k1]

Please make this aplication to switch Bluetooth On/Off.

[mrjx]

How can i run this application in background at startup?

[Frogger]

cool app. maybe a bit dangerous, I can see my diamond accidentally flying ac ross the room.

[R3PUBL1K]

Just add it to the startup folder though you have to hide it when launched I think sushi... will add a auto hide feature at some point

[mo0609]

very good ! I love this invention.

[nighty]

many thx for this tool.... i love it to use

and kudos Sushi :) You are a champ!!

[tuem]

Hi,
first, great job, sushi.
however, i seem to have a small problem. every time i shake and the profile changes, the taskbar volume control icon disappears (becomes invisible). but when i click on where it should be, it still opens the volume control, and after closing the icon is back where it belongs. any ideas?

cheers

[xavierdemon]

What can I say, this app is awesome :D

[pathologo]

Really innovative idea and tool.

Thank you!

[Zambire]

look nice~！
i think i love it
downloading it
:):eek::D

[pathologo]

Very nice tool.
But it reacts way too slow, or it doesn't react at all sometimes.

Edit: I realize that you have to get used to this tool. - You have to know HOW to shake your device.

First impressions with the above settings seem nearly spot on.

[pathologo]

I found that this tool eats up about 1% of CPU all the time!
I'm sure this can be optimized.

[Krzysiec]

Is it possible to implement in this aplication "Mute call by shake" ? Would be GREAT !!!!

[DennisRP]

Is it possible to implement in this aplication "Mute call by shake" ? Would be GREAT !!!!

As mentioned earlier in this thread, you are able to mute your Diamond by flipping it so the screen is down. That would be somewhat of a more effective way of muting, I'll say : )

[shwan_3]

Hi

I want it to change track while playing music , like next song on one shake or previous on two ... :)
Some SEMs have this function.
thanks

[fluffyp990]

In first time this is a super application.. but can u make a similar one but when the phone is ringing and u don`t want to answer, just shake and phone goes silent (or mute ringing)???

Fantastic!!! +1000

[sapostolakis]

Activate it from registry or from Diamond Tweak!!!

I used the settings as posted by Asphard and those are spot-on like others have said.

You guys are awesome :D

COOL!

Not to be ungrateful...but would it be possible to write something similar that will put an alarm into "Snooze" mode?

Hi,

Yesterday i fleshed my Diamond with a new ROM but i just detect there's something that kill some processes like "Diamond Profile Switcher".

Indeed i must check very often if the preccess is still alive and then re-launch it. I's a bit frustrating...

Any idea?

Thanx

[Hiero]

are there any hints to add it to the autostart and save the settings automatically?

[draman]

Hi
Try to put a shortcut in Windows/Start up.
It will work.

[Hiero]

i tried this succesfully, but everytime it asks to apply the settings... this sucks really!
if there is a chance to make the settings once and autostart it everytime this would be great

[Prof.Kamil]
