[Q] Automate setting changes - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
First thing, if this is the wrong forum to post this in then I must apologise wholeheartedly and ask to be pointed in the right direction.
I did try the Rom developers forum but have had no replies so far.
I have an SE x1i, WinMo 6.1 and Software version R3AA013. I hope I got that correct.
It's a great phone but I'm now finding little improvements that I would like to have to suit my needs.
What I am trying to achieve is to have an on screen icon similar to the enable/disable flight mode icon, that finds out the state of a few certain system settings and change them to an alternative state.
I would like to have a "car mode" icon that, with one touch, enables bluetooth functionality and at the same time changes an advanced power setting so that, while in "car mode" and on battery power, the "Turn of device if not used for xx min" is unchecked.
With a second touch of that "car mode" icon, those settings are reversed.
I am trying to find out (a) is it possible, (b) has someone already done it, (c) could I do it myself?
I could achieve this on my PC as I have had some experience with VB6 about 6 years ago but have not kept up with it or the changes in programming.
I know pretty much nothing about Windows mobile. It seems very similar in some aspects but also very different in other aspects to other windows operating systems.
For that matter, pretty close to the same applies to smart phones as well.
I hope I have explained myself clearly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and thanks,
Graeme.

Maybe this program: http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gprofile/about ?

Thanks Xera, will have a look at this. From what I've read, it seems to do what I want.
Will repost when tested.
Cheers,
Graeme.

New Pointui Home 1.02b released with native support for smartphones

Can somebody test it on s730? Share your exprerience! Seems to me that it could bring more free RAM, more battery life, speedy reaction
Many new features, f.e.:
* smartphones support
* new black skin
* battery saving
* bluetooth switching on/off during call (also battery saving)
* speed increasing
http://pointui.com
Works well..sometimes a little bit slowly.
I'd locked my S730 by this tool.
Can anyone tell me how to unlock this?
New Features:
Lock screen can now be used on smartphones - you press up then down on dpad.
Yea, I have been using this SW for some hours and i love it!
Has some minor bugs. I cannot keylock the unit as ususal.
Then the home program shuts down. So I have to use the keylock that is built inn to this SW..
But now that I am used to this, it is actually better that the standard.
It also bugs up some times when using Comm Manager, I have not yet figured out when exactly this problem accures,
but Home then sometimes shuts down, and I have to restart the program..
But other than that its perfect. Fast, smooth fading menues, and looks great!

Thanks for your opinion, this SW little bit change the behavior of the HW, but according the programmer´s goal. The previous member contribution is typical, people does not like to read the manuals, sometimes problem is not problem it is a purpose how to use the HW effectively and users are lazy to read the changelogs .

I know what you mean
A little "Tip" if anyone wants to try this program on the S730.
I had to change the HTC Home settings "Time Out" to Never. Or else the it would go back to the original HTC Home after
10 minutes. (Depending on the settings)
Looks nice but too limited for my liking just yet.
Like, I want to be able to see the time AND appointments on the home screen, without having to scroll.
It should have more user-definable input, without having to get out a registry editor. It also needs some work to make it suitable for smartphones, like being able to add stuff to the icon bar on the home screen. Also, the application bar only shows icons in the Start Menu/Programs folder by default. I couldn't see any options to change it, or even a button to move back up the directory tree to where my icons actually are.
A working uninstall procedure would be good too!!
I agree with the mad ferret.
the customization is missing. for example where is the option to create a "favorite apps list"?
i really like its fast responsiveness!!! i wish windows mobile could develop something like that as native windows mobile software. so smooth and with such neat design. why cant they? are they ****ing retarded? instead we get slow menues and ugly lists like on phones of 1998. cant windows work with people wh o can create such amazing software and integrate it natively? cant they develop something like this themselfes? WTF
anyway, pointui is a very amazing piece of software. however, whenever i press "running programs" it freezes.... the update function doesnt work.
i prefer smarttoolkit!!

Everything that's supposed to work with PointUI, works for me on my HTC S710/Vox. I do hope for more features and I am sure the developers are hard at work, but what it is now - it can only get better since it's amazing. I hope for it to run at system level, apart from that it's superb so far!
I've been using it for about a week now. I love the clean look, but I'm having one major issue. My number keys and my green key do nothing so I can't call any number that is not in my contacts without going back to the WM Home screen.
Anyone else have this problem? Or better yet, know how I can fix it?
But, yeah other than that I really like pointui. Hopefully the next release comes soon.

simple software to schedule profiles changes

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.
http://www.sbsh.net/product.php?id=28
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?

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.

Help with Windows Mobile Tasks

Hi All,
I hope someone is able to help or point me in the direction of a hack or some software to help.
Basically i use windows mobile task manager alot and any task i create i make a reminder, what i want to know is if anyone knows if their is a way i can sort the display of the tasks so that they are ordered by the reminder time.
I have played around with Due Date but if there is multiple tasks on one date they are sorted alphabetically.
I hope some can help i think i have OCD as this little thing bothers me
Hi,
my answer will be a bit off-topic as I do not answer your question, but have you ever tried the freeware SponnDo (same creator as SponnAlarm). This soft covers the normal WinMo tasks manager interface and makes it finger friendlier and so on.
I do not recall if such an option as you're looking for was available but worth the try.
thanks for the reply, i will check it out

Enabling 'finger scrolling' in Notes

Hi to all
I realise this is not a specific ROM type question, but if anyone was to know it would be you guys....
(I posted this in General with no responses)
Essentially, i am looking for a tweak that will make the 'Notes' program scrollable (kinetic..) with your finger. I have fiddled with a few Beta programs but all seem to conflict or have other issues, so no joy.
I am thinking there must be a reg tweak or something that will enable it or add it to a list or something (like the g-sensor whitelist) to make it finger scrollable - it seems odd on a stock 6.5 (SEA) ROM that this feature is not already available on this most basic program...
Any advice really appreciated (It's driving me nuts - and i don't have far to [email protected]!).
Cheers

I would also like to know how to do this, but for RSS Hub's article view. I searched the registry and don't see anything. It seems stuck in "make selection" mode.
Actually, I know FTouchSL (www.ftouchsl.com) works but my problem is that it messes with all sorts of other apps on my phone (including HTC's stuff). I'd like to use it for just a few apps but it works by an exclusion principle ("blacklist": ignoring apps you don't want it to apply to) rather than inclusion ("whitelist": applying only to specific apps). Of course, I'm interested in the latter. The problem is, you have to go through the tedious process of excluding EVERY SINGLE APP you don't want it to work with!
I've emailed support at ftouchsl regarding a whitelist so we'll see if something turns up.
But if someone comes up w/ something to be able to finger scroll in Notes, I'd be VERY interested!
BTW, I have a GSM Raphael.
Wrong section, and a double post.
Closed.
