I was talking about backing up the system profiles...

ahh... that make more sense

I've read that you can backup the XML file (/data/system/profiles.xml) and restore it later. I haven't tried it myself but I should be updating to the lastest release soon and I let you know how it goes. This is how I've backed mine up

Code:

$ adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su
shell@android:/ # cp /data/system/profiles.xml /sdcard/profiles.xml_20121122

I have uploaded a new version. The changes are minor.

I have changed how the buttons work on the timed profile dialog. It should be alot more intuitive now.
When you start the TimedProfile dialog, the default profile is now 'Silent'. If there is no profile called 'Silent', it will pick the first one.
I have also added an icon

Great but really hope you'll add an import export profile feature next...

I have just upgraded from cm-10-20120818-NIGHTLY to CM-10 stable and copying profiles.xml back worked. I still had to set the default ringtone in the standard settings since that is not part of profiles.

When I restored the app, I had to run it once so that it would be sent the 'BOOT_COMPLETED' event (as expected).

Found a bug in 0.2:

I have a Work profile which has independent volume levels for ringtone and notification.
When the Work profile is activated by Profile Switcher, the ringtone volume level is correctly set, but the notification volume level remains at the level set by the previous profile (it is not changed to the level set for the Work profile).

When the Work profile is switched to manually through the Power Menu, the notification volume level is correctly set.

Thanks for the bug report. This is very odd. The code that sets the profiles is a one-liner that call the CyanogenMod ProfileManager service (most of the code is managing the scheduling/alarm manager). I don't see anything that could cause the symptoms that you describe. The only thing that I can think of is if you had plugged/unplugged a headset (without the headset reset profile option turned on), then the prior volume settings would be restored. How easy is this to reproduce?

I was able to reproduce it at will yesterday. Now it is working perfectly. I cannot reproduce it anymore. Maybe a glitch with my phone? I will let you know if it happens again.

Does the app create a log?

There is quite a bit of information in the logcat (search for "ProfileSwitcher" in the log). Most of the logging however is related to the calculation of which profile to switch to. There is a debug mode in the menu, but that does not add much more to the log.

Hi,

This app allows you to setup schedules to switch profiles. This will only work on a ROM that has a profile manager (e.g. CM9 & CM10). Features also include resetting the profile when headphones are pluged/unplugged and the ability to set a once-off 'timed profile' (similar to the old Nokias).

Update 2012/11/22: Version 0.2 uploaded.

How to use:
Create schedules for when you want your phone to automatically change profiles. To create a schedule, chose "New schedule" in the menu. Choose the profile you want to switch, the time of day (24 hour clock) and which days of the week.
For example: Imagine you have profiles Work, Home and Night. You could have the following schedules.

Work @ 08:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday
Home @ 10:30 on Saturday & Sunday
Home @ 17:30 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday
Night @ 23:30 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday

Version history:
Version 0.2
2012/11/22
Minor changes to Timed Profile dialog
Added icon

Version 0.1
2012/07/19 - Initial version

Thanks,
Seamus.

Seems to be a nice app, hopefully it works on my Sony LWW and it's not resource hungry !!!

Thanks!!!

Hi. Thanks for app. I'm looking for something light to control those CM profiles. This app takes 45MB

I have I9001 phone with just 512MB memory and every little memory saving helps. Can the app work based on events instead of staying in memory? I wonder can you add location based switching?

babujnik · Jan 4, 2013

Hello.
are there any chances for calendar based schedules ?

The app doesn't stay in memory - it uses the Android AlarmManager to trigger switching (it also uses events for the plug/unplug of the headphones). I won't be adding location based switching - sorry.

Afraid not. I'm quite swamped at the moment.

Could you add a rule check on reboot?
Sometimes I have my phone turned off when a profile switch is scheduled. It would be great if any scheduled profiles were activated when the phone boots.

Thanks for your efforts, great app!

Brilliant

Your profile switcher is just what my samsung I5500/CM10.1 needed. It only has 180MB of memory so every bit counts. Theres not much eye candy in your app, but it does what it's supposed to do. And without a memory resident part. Excellent.

Thanks seamusph :good:

Thanks for this app.

Is there a way to make it open source ?

Thanks again

How about open-sourcing the app and let the community implement this two wonderful features?

Hi all. To answer the questions..
Can I? Yes - all the code is mine.
Will I? Yes - I always intended to open source the code. After putting in all the effort, it would be a pity not to.
New features? Any changes are always welcome.

I have to add a licence to the code and remove some of the dead code. When that is done, I put it on github. If I am a bit tardy, feel free to give a gentle nudge.

cheers,
seamus.
