simple software to schedule profiles changes - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi
Before i had a HTC s730 smartphone, i had a program to change profiles according to day and time. i really need it on my diamond are there any one like it?
i have seen huge software packages from fx. spb and others that can also do it among a million other things, but idont want my diamond messed up by crapware.

I used Pocket Alarm, which does everything, but its status bar integrates in the Today screen, but not TFLO3. I am therefore also looking for something better or a way to get these kind of programs to appear on the TFLO3

I use phoneweaver from SBSH, have the setting on one of the TFLO program tabs. Works for me.

Thanks but it is not really what i am looking fore..
I dont want any today plugin or being able to control wifi and stuff
just a simple program to create a shedule when to switch to a profile...
maybe i should look into coding it myself... cant understand it dosent exist?

Looks loke it includes many of the PA features, but how do you get it on a TFLO3 tab?

You need to control it so the plug-in is very convineint, just that TFLO is new to the WM world. I guess that's why it doesn't exist. Let's know when you have coded it.
EDIT
Just tried PhoneWeaver (30 days free trial). Suggest you try it as it does what you requested and does not dependend on a plug in (available though, but you need not install it). It does not quite offer as much flexibility as PA and lacks an overview at a glance of all profile settings (at least I did not find such yet), but it is simpler and you do not depend on the plugin to change profile manually, so I'll keep it.

Profile Manager
I needed the same software too just a simple profile manager without all the extra plug ins
www.winmobileapps.com has a software called which I used for my Ipaq 614 and it was fine but was unable to get it to work on the Touch Diamond possibly because of the weird volume controls rather than the standard WM6 ones.
Try it though and maybe you'll have more luck 'cos there's nothing else out there and I searched for weeks.

Wireless Toddle Application

Hi,
I am interested in binding a button to quickly turn the wireless off and on.. It is a pain to keep going through the comm manager..
I need a little program that when executed just either enables it or disables it depending on the current state..
Anybody know of such a program?
Thanks,

I think theis might be the site:
http://ae.inc.ru/aewft.php
This function is also built into Spb Phone Suite. Very handy I might add.
Not free is downside..
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/?en
There is also a new beta for this app which you can find here;
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15808
Use Kaiser tweeks etc to turn on wireless today, which will give you a home screen plugin
Here is another free today plug in - gives you all the three buttons to toggle : bluetooth, wifi and the phone all in one place. Takes away the pain of using comm manager. I dont remember where I found it so I am just posting the CAB here.
If were going with Today Screen plug-ins I'll have to place my vote for SBSH PhoneWeaver (not free but well worth it):

Diamond..does it have profiles??

Hi all,
Hopefully i should be getting my new UK spec Diamond in a week or so fingers crossed. Now coming from Nokia, have been using a nokia n95 8gb phone..which has served me pretty damn well. On the Nokia it has profiles ie silent, meeting, offline and general etc etc.
Now can anyone tell me if the Diamond has such a thing built in??. I know there are apps that put status profiles but was just wondering if the Diamond has such a feature...if not thats ok, not like its the end of the world. But using the nokia it did make life easier ie press the power button once and you would get a menu listing all the available profiles.
it has profiles.
go to settings>sounds and you can choose profiles.
or you can assign the call gang up button to give you a silent mode
There are also some applications that manage device profiles with a huge amount of options e.g. http://www.sbsh.net/product.php?id=28#
Although I have no idea how well this integrates in the OS when running touchflo. As far as I can see this software can run as a todayplugin and/or a tray bar icon. Either of them is available while running touchflo. So I would get in touch (LOL) with the developer if there is a way to let it run from the header...

Here you go. Free, fast, small footprint and very powerful. Once you setup the profiles, then save the registry key for future hard reset. If you ever hard reset, after installing the software, import the saved registry entry and all your saved profiles are there!
KOR!

Profiles Manager for Diamond

Hi all,
Just bought a Diamond in replacement of my Cruise.
This Diamond is beautiful and easy to use but I have not fount a profile application to use with.
I need a profile application that can control Bluetooth, rings and notification volume in profiles like cars, home, work .....
I usually used PhoneAlarm but with the Diamond and the touchflo screen, it is not possible to add the today plugin ...
So I have tried an application called PZP and the PZP Menu software that I launch using a long press on button. this application is great but eavy and slow to load...
So I am now searching an application to manage my profiles through the TF3D (why not ..) or with a button on the task bar for example.
someone has an idea ?
regards
i have this same question and couldnt find the answer. has anyone solved this yet?

...sure: Disable the manila plugin ;-)
You could always remap a TF3D soft key to whichever profile switcher application you decide on?
I've tried PhoneAlarm in the past (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) but now use Wireless Time (http://freewareppc.com/communication/wirelesstime.shtml) which alters my profiles based on the time of day.
Don't think there is anything integrating tightly within TF3D just yet
I'm the developer of PhoneWeaver (I'll don't put the link to avoid it to be considered SPAM, but it is public that beemer=miguel). I think it is the best profiler program in the market and I can tell you as a secret that as long as I have a Diamond as my personal phone, current version works well on it and next version will be fully optimized

I haven't yet managed to find working documentation for WirelessTime. Presumably you need to keep it running and there's no minimise option. I can't work out the configurable time option under the settings that seem to defaulted to 00:10, but it looks like hourly configurable slots on the main screen. I have searched, but can't find a manual, either on PDAInfo, Google, or here. Any pointers in the right direction?
If you are still looking for a tool to manage profiles, here you have
- Profiles for Windows Mobile
I bought it a year before, and they told me I could get 2 more licenses. I have been trying to contact with them this month (in order to get my second license for the diamond), and no way.
So, in the trial version you would be able to configure and programme 2 profiles. Anyway, if you look around the web...

I have created a link to it that I put in the startup folder so it runs on every soft reset. I never have to open the program and it doesn't appear as a running program.
I've not found any docs either, but I've left the time option set at 00:10 because I wasn't sure what it did! On the main screen I've just highlighted what I want to be 'on' each hour, and repeated that for all the days in the week. Been working fine for me on this basis

Hi
At the Diamond, how you change profiles? where you connect it to?
I am using Phoneweaver I have added a button to the Phoneweaver Menu on my Programs tab and when i press that i get my profile list ... works a treat
SPB Phone Suite is nice - and if you couple it with Second Today then you can access all of the home screen plugin options for switching profiles.

Is it ok that I'm completely overwhelmed?

I literally just bought my at&t tilt today, and when I bought it the guy I got it from suggested I come here to do some digging on modifying/personalizing my Tilt to my liking. Now, I'm somewhat of a computer nerd. I can work through most issues with my PC without having to call customer service or hit up forums or anything. I have no experience with pocket PCs or windows mobile however.
I've read the multiple notices here advising to read around first before asking dumb questions, but I have to say that I'm still completely lost and don't even know where to begin. I really don't have complicated intentions, I'm almost 100% satisfied with the phone as-is...regardless, I still just have no idea what to even start with, so I figured I would just throw that out there and hopefully get pointed in the right direction. Hopefully I'll be able to take it from there, but the tutorials, wikis, and FAQs that I was advised to browse through first (and I apologize if I'm just not seeing it, again I'm a WM noob) just aren't getting me there.
All I'm really interested in doing is changing my home screen. Other things I want to do I don't even know if it's possible to do so, or if I even have to download anything!
So maybe just one more shove in the right direction?
Try This
This is not going to change your rom......This will give a new look totally...I think you'll like it...Install it from your desk top
Peace

You should get a good start at the wiki here:

IMO You can't beat SPB Mobile Shell even though you have to pay for it, it's well worth it.

I agree here
pointUI
Wisbar advance (check out the skins for this app..)
If you know a bit of XML try RLtoday
oh, and search for "Ultimate launch" on the forum...
ummm check out the second link in my sig.
I'm in the same boat as you. There is so much information here, it's quite overwhelming. I want to get the most out of my device, but I just don't have he time to really get into it.
Well you have to start somewhere, so just say where you want to go.
Would you like to make the phone look different?
Would you like to add your own ringtones?
Themes?
gps stuff?
roms?
seriously look at the second link in my signature.
I suggest that you use it for a while to get used to it, then read, then try changing it. Just my 2 cents.
I'm guessing your question is more basic than the answeres provided. If you just want to change your today screen, check out the "Today" applet under "Settings" on the start menu. You can choose from a variety of default plugins, and some of them have options you can change (simply click the options button if it's enabled). As you install more apps, they may have Today Screen plugins as well.
DO NOT GO THROTTLE LAUNCHER.... i like the guy that developed it but it has become obsolete with manilla 2d, personally i stayed away from flashing for a long time but now that i have started i'm addictted it provides alot better preformance from your ppc, i would highly recommend it
my favorite rom right now is the garmin dk4 manilla just make sure you read up before, its not that complicated once you get the hang of it. biggest thing is make sure to flash hard spl before you flash anything else
Here's some advice from someone who has had pocket pc's for a long time. I am also half a century old, so this advice comes from experience and not theory.
Keep your Kaiser/TyTN II/Tilt, whatever it is, as stock standard as possible. Do not flash new roms etc etc. This is the cause of most problems here unless you are really clued up on this, which it seems you are not at the moment. I won't even try it.
There are many third party apps out there and in here which will not affect the normal functioning and enjoyment of your device. Most of them are freeware.
Today themes are dime a dozen, heck, you can create your own with freeware apps like ThemegenCE (Desktop app which creayes the Tsk file for your device theme and even TKCreator which is a theme creation app directly on your device I (Also freeware and more basic than the former).
You need Total Commander, a freeware File Explorer much better than than one shipped wth the device. Quickmenu 2.7 makes using the device a pleasure and hardly requires the stylus. This provides a task manager, drop down menus, controls for device utilities like bluetooth, wifi, soft resetting etc. You also need Mortplayer which is the best MP3 player and is freeware and of course TCPMP with flashvideo bundle for video clips/movies/flash video from websites etc. This all for free. Heck, here are even freeware GPS apps for navigation out there, eg Amaze GPS and Nav4All, or just go full hog and buy the best like TomTom. TodayAgenda is a Today Plugin for calendar appointments and is one of the best and totally free. S2U2 developed by A_C from XDA is a cool screen saver/slide to unlock app which is free and highly customisable with animated gifs as wallpaper etc.
This would be a good start for you.

MAC

New Diamond, please help

Hey fellow forum users,
I recently (read: last tuesday afternoon) got my Diamond. And I am kind of lost.
First of all, my internet doesn't work. Tuesday begin of the evening it did work. But at the end of the evening and today it hasn't worked at all. @ the dutch vodafone site there are specific things you need to fill in which I did. However it still doesn't work. So I will be giving them a call first thing tomorow.
Second of all, my music. When I plug in my Touch Diamond on the computer, I see this map "content" I click on it and I see "music" so I put an album in there, but there is no music on the phone. Does it have to be converted? because I didnt find a converter on any of the cd's I was given. The same thing with my video. I put a movie on it for testing, but can't find that anywhere on my phone either.
Further I have some requests,
- I am looking for a transparant clock (the white part transparant) so you'll see the wallpaper better.
- I am looking for a way to change the bottom bar.
- I am looking for the best way to use my gps receiver (like a program or something).
- A way to simplify my contacts, I find it very annoying to have all this info. I just want to keep their names with e-mail, mobile phone numer and home number.
- A thing like that weather tab, only then with the time. Don't know if it's out but I find that a really funny feature on the iPods. Perhaps with those huge analog clocks showing the time of 6 countries in the world
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
p.s. I'll be using this topic if allowed for some further questions and am looking forward to any advice given.
p.p.s general advice on what to do with it for easier and better use of the device is very very much welcome.
p.p.p.s I have these programs on my phone aswell, as a .rar file still though if that matters (he said not), someone adviced me to put them on:
- Mortonscript
- Diamond TF3D Config Setup
- Automatic Wallpaper changer (no use for this yet but I really liked the background he was talking about that changed to the time it was, so like a sun during the day and a moon during the night).
I am completly lost at the moment. Gonna study the books that were packed with it I guess. Any help is appreciated.
1000 times thanks for anyone who can help.
(and hope this is allowed)
anyone that can help?

Hi Dennis,
I'll try to help where I can. The internet issue you will probably have to sort out with your provider. If it was working and now it isn't it the only thing I can think of is you made some change to the network config. They should be able to get it working again.
As for Music I found the best way to transfer music to the Diamond is through active sync. Plug your phone in to your PC, when prompted on the phone select active sync, then on the PC open up Windows Media player and select sync. Then just drag and drop the music you want on your phone to the sync panel and then click sync. All the music you selected will be transferred to your phone and the album art and everything if it is available will be displayed on the phone.
For the transaprent flip clock and lots more tf3d mods, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436867
For the bottom bar you have to be more specific, do you want to change the softkeys??
I find the best GPS software is either google maps or microsoft live search, both are free, google them!
For contacts there are many solutions out there, you will have to look on your own, sorry!
I've seen world clock application but most of them are home plugins, again you will have to look around on your own..
As for the rest, you will have to spend some time reading and searching. I don't advise reading the book that came with it as it contains very little useful info.
hit me back if you have anymore questions!!! oh and welcome to the community!!!
With changing the bottombar I mean putting like perhaps the gps on the spot of the photo / video etc.
Thanks btw
Sorry Dennis, as far as i know there is currently no method for changing the tf3d tabs. You can add some but really they already exist just not displayed. You can try SSmapa to replace some of the default functions.
