Want to add "Ringer Mode Selection" as a Launcher Item in HTC HomeScreen

I've got the 6 tab "HTC Homescreen" plugin installed on my AT&T Tilt.
Upon installation it included "Ringer Mode Selection" as one of the (9) launcher items. I accidentally removed it and now want to add it back, but when I attempt to re-assign it in the launcher, it doesn't appear in the app programs selection assignment list.
This launcher item is the one which allows you change the phone "ringer status" (on, off, vibrate, auto), and displays four ringer status boxes (icons) to select from. This item also displays & allows you to change the default ringtone sound.
How can I can get the phone "ringer status" selection item to appear in my launcher list again?
Thanks

Ringer Mode Selection is actually a HTC Homescreen TAB
Thanks to Kavi's help via PM, I found the answer:
'Ringer Mode Selection' is actually one of the six HomeScreen TABS (Profile Tab), and not a launcher item as I mistakenly thought. I've now got the Profile (ringer mode selection) TAB back via HTC Home Customizer.

Umm just a word of caution if you use that tab and use calendar reminders. There is definitely some flakiness in the interaction between those 2 functions.
E.g. if you use calendar and have have events chime in to remind you of those events, then switch to slent or vibrate, sometimes those reminders will get shut off and wont ring even after you switch back to ring mode.
This has been a known proven issue for some time with the HTC Home app's "profiles" tab functionality. I thought it was fixed on the Kaiser, but I now know that it is still an issue. Its an issue with how it manages notifications in the WM database.
If you don't care about notifications, then it doesn't matter. But if you do, beware that sometimes you won't get your reminder notice or sound even if you switch back to ring profile after using the silent or vibrate profiles for even a short while.
I've since removed that tab from my HTC Home via the HTC Home Customizer app, and only use the Comm Mgr "Ring/Vibrate" toggle to make the switch back and forth. It works without causing the same issue above. A couple more presses, but nothing compared to missing meetings cuz the reminder doesn't fire.

Profile Tab (ringer settings) - "Sound: Automatic"
Jomo25, thanks for the heads up about the possible conflict with profile (ringer status) tab & calender reminders.
That said, can somebody tell me what the far right most 'ringer setting' called:
Sound: Automatic is supposed to do? Thanks.

Nice! So that is why that happens I could never quite place it when it happens once and a great while.
Know of any other good "touch based/home screen" profile selector?

If you have an appointment in the calender it will automaticly switch to vibrate.

bolasz: ahhhhhhhhhhh . . . . thanks

Vibrate

Does anyone think the default vibrate is a bit long?
I noticed you can create your own vibrate pattern (awesome feature), so I made a shorter one but it doesn't apply it!
Is that due to me being in vibrate mode only? But that doesn't make sense if so...

once you've created your pattern, make sure you recorded it (you are asked to give it a name for that).
then select it in the list of vibration patterns.

Yep, did that. It appears it only works for the ring tone and doesn't change the vibrate when in silent vibrate mode...

is it possible to disable the vibration when u switch into silence mode?
for example i have the normal mode activated and then press volume down until i hit "vibration mode" it vibrates - is it possible to disable that?
i a using llama to automatically switch into silence modes etc, i always thing i get a text message when i enter my work -.-

Please is possible disable vibrate when is delivered message or I touch list of applications on my launcher ? I don´t like vibrate ... in setting is option for disable vibrate for ringtone but not for other. Do you have some idea ? Thanks

I never use vibrate

Ringtone profiles dosent work

I have problems with not working ringtone profiles. They dosent work at all. When i want to change volume, I have to use side buttons. Its only way to switch volume. I have this problems on all official software versions.

and just what is it that you would you want your phone to do to have a working ringtone profile? you can assign a different ringtone to each contact, and a picture as well. if you can't specify the ringtone volume level for each contact it doesn't mean it is not working. it's just that phone software doesn't support that function, and i see no use for that since you can chose no ringtone at all for a desired contact. and what's wrong with using side buttons? you want on screen volume slider? is it really necessary?

I mean that when Im switching profiles (normal, vibrations or silent mode) nothing is changing and sound volume dosent change. I have to use side buttons to turn down volume, and some times it dosent work corretly (e-mail notifications are always loud)...

Next, I cant turn down email notifications... All ringtones are set down manualy but email notifications are loud and are driving me crazy at night...

Alert slider issues

I've found that the profiles of the alert slider don't quite work for me. In particular, there is no real silent mode that turns off vibrations and OS sounds.
'Silent mode' (top position) leaves vibrations on which is obviously not good when I'm going to sleep etc
'Do not disturb' (middle position) disables vibrations and notification sounds but leaves OS sounds on (the lock/unlock sound for example). This is really annoying when I don't want to wake my Boyfriend or don't want to distract people in a meeting.
Is there any way to disable OS sounds in do not disturb mode?
Also is there any way to enter a profile automatically (when I go to sleep for example)? I've been able to do this on other android phones.
Thanks!

Sorry cm13 was the only way I found to take full control of the annoying stock settings you mentioned

volume on mute unexpectedly

Android One, Stock, Oreo 8.0.0
I haven't set the phone to vibrate but the vibration icon is in the status bar. I don't have any sound schedule set up. Another related thing: toggling the volume to set Do Not Disturb and finding it's already been set. (And no mute icon in the status bar.) Am I missing a setting somewhere?
