This is an app created upon a request in this thread by wilsonmc.
It´s layout is created for the Samsung Galaxy Gear but since the code it pretty straight forward it would probably work excellent on any Android device.
It´s simple task is:
If it´s activated, every 5 minutes it makes a vibe based on the users custom set up pattern.

0.4b
- Added a function to edit Vibe pattern on stock devices without keyboards
- Added a pretty neat feature that makes the clock Vibe every 10mins at morse code, that is: '10 = dot,dash,dash,dash,dah. 20 = dot,dot,dash,dash,dash and so on (Full hour is set as dash,dot,dot,dot,dot)... every '5 in between the app uses the custom vibe pattern, so if the user only want vibes every 10 min, set the vibe pattern to all zeros.

Request from Dev:
This App is only tested on null_ rom atm.
I´d like if someone could try this on a pure stock Gear and report the result.

Just tested on stock and there doesn't appear to be any way to change the values from 0s since there's no keyboard installed. You could use a + and - button for each option but it'd be really fiddly on the tiny screen or have them all in a column/row with something like the roller wheel as in the official timer app to set the time under each one.
Otherwise, it's looking fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing it progress.

Ah, ofcourse. Didnt´t think of the missing keyboard. I´ll figure something out.
But if you uninstall (to clear all settings files) and the install again and just tap the ON Toggle, does the default Vibe pattern work as it´s supposed to?
Don´t feel like put alot of effort in creating a way to change the value on Stock if not the basic function works
I'm testing it on the latest Null. I have:
1st Vibe: 50, 1st Pause: 300
2nd Vibe: 100, 2nd Pause: 300
3rd Vibe: 0, 3rd Pause: 0
4th Vibe: 0, 4th Pause: 0
Turning the features on/off does not reset the counter. Meaning if it's running and I shut it down I can open it again and it starts from the previous position and it is still counting. I also tried to turn to it off, change the patterns and turn it back on and it's the same issue.
Otherwise the functionality is awesome. Great deterrent to walk away from conversations with annoying people since they know I can take calles on my watch "Oh, excuse, your five minutes is up sir." . :laugh:

If I understand the "issue" right here I belive you have missed the point a bit (or I´we explained it badly ), the time you can see in the counter is the time from that precise moment until you Gear clock turns into a even 5 minutes.
For example: If the clock is 17:22:30, the timer will show 150 sec since it´s exactly 2 min 30 sec until the clock turns 17:25:00.
So when you turn it off and then on again it will only recalculate to find that exact time again and then show it, never just start at 300 and count downwards.
Have I understand your issue right?

Well I will Homer Simpson myself with a D'oh! My bad. I reread it and missed where you said it auto starts on a 5 minute based on time. So once it reaches a '5" it will then run with my settings correctly? Even if I change the 300 to say a 600?

In the initial 0.1b release it worked like an timer, but I added the clock matching feature in v 0.2b, so you will never see a value greater then 300 since it´s the maximal number of seconds for 5 min´s.
The numbers you set in the vibe pattern are stated in milliseconds and let´s you set a pattern for how to vibrate at each 5 min.
I´ll try to add some info about the function in the app...
App Updated to v0.4b!
New version uploaded!
The 0.4b brings a more stock friendly GUI and the posibility to let your Gear tell you the time by Morse code!
Changelog and Download in first post.
And again, someone with a Stock Gear, try this app and report back in this thread!
Great job ! I'm thinking about including your own little section in aroma.. you can feature the apps you want to include.. think about it, hit me up on the chat.
WoW! Absolutely incredible job.
Why is this not in Samsung's app. store!
Tried the app out live today at work and found some naughty bug that sometimes prevents the Vibes to come through when Screen is off.
Don´t bother download the 0.4b, I´ll keep you posted when I got a decent sollution!
App Updated to v0.5b!
New release out with a fix for the bug that I explained in last post.
Changelog and Download in first post.
Nice work Tps! I'm going to try it out at kids coaching on sunday and give you some feedback

good find. have you tried it in-call yet? let us know if it works.
I made it so I hope it works! lol
I've been waiting for this! Thank you!
great app, great story
it works just great. this is so cool to see how a good idea is investigated and evolved by the community, then a smart programmer whoops it into an application which is then available worldwide, and in this case even for free (thanks for that!)!
read the full story.
lazy people go here for barcode scanner code.
Hello, this is a great idea!
Is it possible if you could auto-disable the app when the light sensor is already reading no light (so it doesn't go into lock mode straight away once about to ring someone at night) and also, why does the screen stay on? That surely will drain battery life. Can't you make it so that the screen turns off when its dark and back on when not?
Thanks
great app. very much needed
This is a really great app, thanks for making it!
The reason the screen stays on is that the light sensor stops reporting light values when the screen is turned off. Maybe this could be worked-around by modifying the Linux kernel but that would surely complicate things..
Anyway, maybe propose this app for inclusion into the next version of MCR?
note: you need to uninstall the version from this forum if you want to install the market version. looks like someone got himself a brandnew set of keys for the market release
Lol yeah lost the old set!

my bad
sorry but i don't understand very well the purpose of this apps
by now (without this apps), when i'm using my hero (calling or receiving a call) the screen turns off and i need to use the left phone button if i need the keyboard.
So what does the apps do exactly ?
Thanks
Its locks the screen when you bring the phone against your ear and unlocks it (goes back to normal phone screen) when you move it away.
Only problem I have is that it always locks it in a semi light room, is there a way to change the sensitivty? otherwise its a great app

I agree with the above, It's a great app, however it seems to get enabled in a room with little light, which is a bit annoying. A calibration option would be good?
Also, what is the extra strain on the batter when it's being used i.e. I'm sure it's fine for short phone calls, but when on longer ones does it drain the battery more than when just making a call?
first, the screen should only get locked in a dark room (lol ) when a call is active. if it is triggered by itself then you are running the app in test mode. you do NOT need to start the app manually, it is started when a call is placed or received.
if you want to deactivate it (i.e. for longer calls) just press back during the call. if the screen is not locked at that moment just cover the light sensor with your finger. pressing back disables the app, and after a few seconds the screen will time out as usual and will then be switched off.

Thanks for the advice....
However the app definitely gets activated when using it in semi-light filled spaces. It's not dark just not too light, a slight tweek to only activate it when it's pitch black would be nice!
The problem is with the hardware not the app, sadly HTC put a rubbish sensor in (but at least they put one in at all!)
This means that the sensor reads 0 even in a semi-bright room. You can try things like pointing the sensor (top left, looks like an LED) towards the light source and making sure you shadow isn't covering the sensor.
Not ideal I know but there isn't anything I can do about it!
I am looking to add g-sensor support and perhaps a few other tweaks but that will be version 2.0, got some bugs to iron out first, and a degree to finish lol!
Is there a way to set the brightness of the screen to 0 when the app is active, and set the brightness back to the original setting when inactive?
On the gsm hero yes, because the app works regardless of the autobacklight settings, however on the CDMA version it only works with autobacklight enabled, something I'm trying to get around.
So it might not happen for a while sorry
This is such an useful and awesome app! Its not perfect, but its still a great use of the light sensor!
I posted the link to this guide in the Homescreen snapshot thread, but I guess it will get better coverage as a separate thread. This guide is courtesy of Notto over @ Xoom Forums.
I've seen many posts by people struggling to get this to work and the common reply to date has been to persevere and it will eventually work. Notto has put together this, his shot at a detailed explanation of how to set up the vertical battery widget using Minimalistic Text with screen shots.
How to set up minimalistic battery widget
Steps
1. Download minamilisticText widget from the market
2. Touch the plus in the top right hand corner of your home screen (the add widget button) and select the 1x5 vertical widget
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. This will take u into the settings screen for the widget. It will always be in vertical screen. Do not change any of the settings, just hit back and go back to the home screen. Make sure the widget appeared. It should show the time in text sideways.
4. Then tap on the widget and go back into settings. (I know this sounds stupid but trust me, changing the settings right away can screw it up)
5. Set up the settings, this is the hard part everyone has trouble with
Name - change it to whatever, I chose BatteryVertical
Background - uncheck show background. This will give it a transparent look
Widget direction - left to right
for the other three under orientation make sure their all the same with center selected
Predetermined layout - select custom
Custom layout
1. First you want to long hold on the three boxes in the first row, one at a time. After selected a trash can will appear, drag and drop and the box will be remove. It should just be one row with nothing in it at this point.
2. Then you want to click on the second button on the right, the green add button, not the plus sign. This will add another row. You want to press this 9 times. This will give you a total of 10 rows. If you want 0% you can add that as well. The only difference is the extra row in this part and then font size.
3. Now you click on the plus sign on the right, this will pull up a menu. Click on the battery section on the bottom. Scroll over to battery level bar 100%. Put this on the top row. Repeat these steps for each of the battery levels. Put one % on each row, descending from the top.
Text style
Normal/Non accented - You want these both the same
Font family - default
Bold/italic - unchecked
Size - 30 for no 0 / 28 with
Case - normal
Color - white, just the default as white as possible
Use system cold - unchecked
Blur ratio - 0
Accented
Font family - default
Bold - checked
Italic - unchecked
Size - 50 without 0. / 48 with
Color - you can use whatever but I use FF118AEB under hex to match the system color as best as possible
Blur- 0
6. Hit save
This is all you need to set up the widget, it works in both landscape and horizontal. Hope this works for all of you.
I can't seem to find my saved preferences

Sorry m8, can't help you on this one yet. I'm hopefully getting my Xoom on Tuesday and will only then be trying this out myself.
Ok, I'll keep trying to figure it out
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Anyone else notice the widget looks a little goofy (cut off the 10 percent on the bottom and 100 is on two lines) when the battery percentage is fully charged at 100%?
Check it out.

Try setting up the widget on another screen (not Home screen) and then after setting up drag it back to the Home Screen. this seems to work for me as I also couldn't find the widget on the Home Screen after trying to set it up there.
Great job on the GUIDE!
And yes, try setting up the widget on a blank screen and then dragging it to the screen you want.
MT is not optimized for honeycomb yet and can be a bit buggy at times.
Excellent tutorial thank you! Honestly this was bugging me in how to achieve!

Thanks for the heads up, so I won't be updating. Have you tried reversing the update?
Looks to be fixed now with them backing out the Motorola hack for the Xoom. My battery percentage is now correct.
Its fine now, the second update fixed it.
i just downloaded MT and I too have the battey stuck at 100% how are you guys fixing it?

Just finished publishing zMooth gesture app in android market, it will allow you to use gestures to mimic back, home, menu and power (Pro version) hardware keys.
I wrote this app to be unobtrusive by using minimum amount of screen space but at the same time be very easy and intuitive to use. If you use for couple of days you will understand how easy it is to use.
after you install the app you will see a blue area at the bottom of the screen, swipe left on this area to go back, swipe right for menu and gesture a up-arrow(^) for home.
I highly suggest that you try using different gesture length and speed, it is very sensitive at default settings.
I picked the gestures which will have least conflict/collision so that when you gesture you don't have to worry that it might fire the wrong action. The aim was to make them error resistant and build user confidence in gesturing.
you don't have to do complete swipe or draw arrow symbol correctly, just a small quick gesture will work.
The swipes don't have to be perfectly horizontal, you can do them at an angle.
Small swipe/gesture will also work, they don't have to do be as long as they were shown in screenshots.
I didn't pick any complicated gestures because back, home and menu should be achievable with out giving a second thought, after couple of days the fingers should move with least effort and finger flexion and MUST be easier than pressing buttons.

Need help or something is not working?
Support is built-in to the app, "Preferences->Help" will resolve most issues. If not resolved just contact me through "Preferences->Help->Contact Support" and I will be happy to resolve any issues. You can also use browser for FAQ / Common Issues for more info.

Sorry for the quality, I never posted videos of phone screen's before, didn't know how difficult it is to capture these screen's on video.
Omg! I was dreaming about app like this
This is my second HD2, and I'm a little paranoic about using screen-off and back key
Big thx.
Hmmm, I can't set Display Height below 20. If I set less than 20, turn off the app, this always back to 20 value.
Secondly, would be great to able to set position of the bar (not only the bottom).
klusek1985: I personally never turn off the app so never noticed it. I set min as 20 so people don't accidentally make it too small. is 20 being too obtrusive? what lcd_density are you using?.
going to sleep will be back tomorrow sometime.
I use HD2, so it is WVGA. Density is 240 (NexusOne rom)
Imo 20 value is too large for me. Maybe you can unlock full spectrum of values able to set ?
I understand an option like change color of bar etc. will be avaible on future versions ?
Again, good work
Great job man!!! I always think pressing the back button is a very extra movement... and you just save the world!!! ha ha.... thanks man for your effort! Appreciate it. I think this app is cool...
First impression is really good, I would like to see some features as:
- Ability to move the zone to anywhere on the display
- change the colour of the zone / change colour of gesture draw
- make the zone / gesture draw transparent (top priority reqeust from me )
- set the size of the "popup" box / disable bigger box?
- disable draw area if application X is running (like widgetlocker - dont need this nice app when the screen is locked) (high priority for me again )
- maybe later, add custom draws? draw a square and launch application X
If these feature will come in the future... well what should I say, that would be awesome
Really nice!
Edit: Cant find it on market yet
Edit2: Bug found:
When chaning the height I have to reenable the app otherwise I get an error "error executing gesture, please restart app"
Sometimes also happens when device gets into standby and wakes up.. (need to confirm)
Was planning some of the features you mentioned already. Thanks for feedback. App is in market now, updated the OP.
I installed from Market, and I can set 10 (size) now
Thanks for this work, it's usefull, but i've a problem with the height, i want 10, in setting it says 10, but when i do the first gesture on my home, it come back with 50 of height, and in setting, it show me 10 ???
P.S: in green, my home would be happy

I will try fixing the height issue today. (hopefully I will get some free time at work).
It's like a dream come true! Thank you! Please keep updating this!
This is really handy!
But I would like to have home on gesture up, instead of having to draw an arrow.
Left:back
right:menu
up:home
Heck, if there's time. Why not let us create ur own gestures for app-launching ect?
And transparancy would be nice, but I see that's already been suggested.
Even if you decide not to do this, I think I'll keep this app on my phone.

you don't have to really draw the complete arrow (or left/right swipe), just do quick gesture up and down. up arrow is like home symbol(like roof of your house).
try to decrease length/time of gesture and see how sensitive and easy it is. I put long lines in screen shots just to show for beginners.
version 1.0.4 pushed to market, hopefully fixes height issues that you guys are having.
Thanks for the update, now, i can have height on 10 ...
Sorry, but in green, it's possible ?
Great application, fast and smooth. Only I can't lock on sense rom...
Very nice app. Just one suggestion. Isn't it more intuitive to swipe up to access menu? Usually the menu will slide up from bottom of screen so I think it's more natural to swipe up?
Awesome App, i was tired of pressing the home button on my hd2.
On an hd2 running typhoons 3.0.1
^ goes to home screen
Left does nothing
Right brings up the menu
Zmooth 1.04
ya since menu slides up gesture should be slide up, you can actually slide up inclined as shown in below screenshot to pull up the menu.
I picked the gestures which will have least conflict/collision so that when you gesture you don't have to worry that it might fire the wrong action. The aim was to make them error resistant and dependable.
Snotify is an application that let you set up a schedule for when Notification sounds should be disabled. You can set multiple schedules for email, texts, toast notifications, master volume and vibrate. For each schedule you can set which days of the week it should apply to (much like the built-in alarm app).

You'll also need WP7 Root Tools from http://www.wp7roottools.com/ . I've tested the app on a HTC HD2 with WP7 Root Tools 0.9.
This application relies on a background task to toggle the setting. Unless the "Resource Intensive Task" is allowed to run it may take up to 30 minutes for the application to react. If you do not connect your phone to an external power source you'll have to take this into consideration.
Thanks to Heathcliff74 for making this possible (WP7 Root Tools SDK)!
Cool app
Cool app really like it.Is it possible that you could just add in a full mute? Basiclly I want it to just mute everything during 8:00 to 5:30. Also I hope you add in a feature to allow days such as only running it on monday-friday.
And I have 1 question, what do you mean by this"Resource Intensive Task is allowed to run" is this a registry edit I have to make or something?
Rly neat!
But how about disable vibrate too?
And the ability to create "profiles", in wich you can choose what to mute/disable during given time and days?
That would be really awesome, as you could get a full night of sleep everyday and avoid the humiliation of everyone in class hearing your ridiculous ringtone during workdays

A full mute would be possible, so I'll consider it. A more advanced schedule is possible as well, I just have to decide the way to implement it and find time to do so.
Windows Phone Apps can run either as Periodic or Resource Intensive Tasks/Agents. A Periodic agent runs once every thirty minute, unless the OS decides to delay the execution (most commonly caused by a low battery level). Resource Intensive Tasks can only run when the phone is connected to an external power source, is almost fully charged and got access to an internet connection other than the radio (WiFi or USB to computer). The app uses both but the OS decides whether any of them actually runs.

The notification is disabled, so it applies to the vibration as well. I realize I haven't made this entirely clear.
Thanks for the ideas .

K cool well thanks. I like the app but It doesnt really help me yet since it doesnt do a full mute. I will be waiting for a full mute. Also you should get your app onto Bazzar.
Suggest you to implement live tile which will allow anybody to turn off any of the notification instantly.
I would have loved control on the volume but turning of is what most of the people do.
Thanks for the App, Works on my Samsung Focus 8107.
if you can add call ring support
thanks ... testing
require setting the ringer volume
Thanks for all the suggestions. The next version will include two new settings, "Master Volume" and "Vibrate". Hopefully I'll be able to release it on Sunday.
Master Volume = Turn off the volume for all types of sounds and notifications, including ringtone. The phone will still vibrate for calls and notifications.
Vibrate = Turns off vibrations for ring and all notifications. Sounds will still be played.
Using Master Volume + Vibrate together will completely silence the phone.
Adding Secondary Tile support will only save one click and take a few hours to implement, so I'm not going to include it in this release.

in the future you can add flight mode control
and can you pls add option for twice a day?
Will this work on a lumia 900? I just came from android and I was hoping I can find an app for this same exact type of feature. Hopefully It works. Thanks dev.
Version 1.1 is now available with support to disable all sounds and/or vibrations.
duhhh: Sorry, flight mode is a bit out of the scope for this application. This would not work for most people anyway, since disabling flight mode requires you to re-enter your SIM PIN code.
idelgado782: The application should not be phone specific, but it requires that you unlock your phone and that it properly supports WP7 Root Tools. Unfortunatelly I don't think this is available for Lumia 900 yet.
Yea I started reading and that's what I figured so far. I have to keep an eye for the unlock so then I can use this app!!! Thanks for your reply.
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
Really Like version 1.1 but still waiting/hoping for a day by day mute schedule.
Also is it possible you could add a feature or something that does the following.
I need it to mute everything at 8:05 but right now it is 7:40. so when it checks again 30mins later it will be 8:10 and will be too late. So could it calculate or figure that out and mute its self at 7:40 because it would otherwise mute too late.

I'm planning to add a schedule like the built in alarm app, but it didn't make it to 1.1. Your other idea is great as well, so i'll put it on the todo-list .
Regards
Johan
K cool well as soon as you add the schedule feature I will be using this app daily.
Thanks for the APP, can you add "airplane mode" control to it? It maybe very useful.
Would be nice if we have daily options like "disable only on Monday at 8AM-4PM"
You know...School is school

one on 13:00-16:00
and 2 on 21:00-07:30
Hi friends. There is simple application, which does only ringing and vibrations management in wanted times. For example default settings is "Silent" mode every weekday from 00:30 to 08:00 and every weekend from 01:00 to 11:00. Application is integrated to system startup, then this works after phone switch on (soft reset) on background. It works on unlocked phones or installator must be allowed by WP7 Root Tools. I have no time to finish managed UI, then times changing is necessary byhand in registry (by WP7 Root Tools or another registry editor, or edit ProfilesWP7.reg file and use Phone Commander, Reg BackUp, or by WMDC you can use Remote Registry Editor or CERegEditor from PC). Default settings:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LFT]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LFT\Profiles]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LFT\Profiles\Weekday]
"Day0"=dword:00000000

"Once"=dword:00000000
"Ringing"=""
"Vibration"=""
"Silent"="01:00"
"RingingVibration"="11:00"
You can change values or add new subkey to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LFT\Profiles\]
If "Once"=dword:00000001 is setted in any key, then values will used once only and "Once"=dword:00000000 will updated automaticly after it.
Full behaviour description is here.

You can "Start" application, after "Install" only.
Because apllication is unfinished now (I look for Silverlight coder to make UI - Source Code published here), I will update actual version for download here.
Because Ic.cz hosting is unstable sometime, there is also ProfilesWP7.xap attached here, but it may be obsolete.

Grate,
I will test the application it is useful. Can I ask you to make another one that I need if it is possible of course. I need the same application but to turn On and Off Bluetooth in some days and some times. I ride motorcycle to work and back to home every day and I have Bluetooth hands free in the helmet so every time I go on bike to go to work or to back home I need to start and stop manually Bluetooth on the phone and this is for window of 1 hour. Also another problem is that when I use the phone without hands free I turn talking volume of the speaker to 3 but when I am on the motorcycle I need talking volume 10 (max) to hear normal on the Bluetooth in the helmet so what I do I put some number and start to dial, after that I put Vol Up from 3 to 10 and than immediately hang up this is just for turning Vol UP during next conversation in which I will not be able to manage the phone because I need two hands on the handle bar till I ride the motorcycle . If you can do such like this application it will be grate. Also it will work if talking volume changes to 10 (max) every time the Bluetooth is turn on automatic .
Happy new year.
I installed application on my HTC Radar and works great thanks friend. Can you do the application to change ringing volume also ? It will be useful if during the night the phone is for example on ringing vol 3 without vibration, and during the day to be on ringing vol 30 with vibration .
Universal scheduler
Hi friends.
It is possible and easy to add any other specifical action to Profiles scheduller. But, everybody want different features scheduled. Then, I will add universal functionality.
For example:
...
RegFile=RingingVolume3.reg
ShellExec=AnotherApp.exe
TaskExec={UID}
RegDWord=[(KeyPath)\\(ValueName)]=(Value)
RegString=[(KeyPath)\\(ValueName)]=(Value)
...
See news here. Shell execution and DWord/String Registry writing is near future, .reg files interpreter is on the way (I must prepare 3rd code parts from it for clean copyright to be publishable). Managed execution is solved by Ultrashot and DFT, but it needs additional features (visible page of native app etc.), then it will added only when somebody will need it urgently.

24 Hours. You can unificate every event too or combine it. For example:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LFT\Profiles\SundayMorning]
"Day0"=dword:00000001
"RingingVibration"="09:00"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LFT\Profiles\SundayEvening]
"Day0"=dword:00000001
"Vibration"="20:00"
"Silent"="22:30"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LFT\Profiles\MondayMorning]
"Day1"=dword:00000001
"RingingVibration"="07:00"
etc.
KeyName is unimportant, it must be unicate only.

I used this app during the night it was great thank you.
There is one thing when the profile changes from ring+vibr to vibr the phone vibrating once but not big problem.
Now I mansion to make my daughter Lumia with this profile to use it at school. I want to make phone to vibration when she is in class and go to ringing+vibr when she is in the brake. So my question is that can I write only values that I need or I have to write every time all 12 values? I think I don't need all 12 Values according your previous post. Another for this at school I have to create a lot of keynames but is there some restriction of quantity of keynames ?

Once vibration is inner WP7 property, when you change to "vibration only" mode, I could do nothing.
Application works simply: This one see all subkeys under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LFT\Profiles\] twice in minute. For each of them see if "Once" value is setted, or if "Day0".."Day7" is setted and equal to actual day of the weak. If yes, application sees "Silent", "Ringing", "Vibration", "RingingVibration" string values. If any of them is nonempty and readed time is equal to actual time, application changes WP7 registry value [HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/RingerVibrateState] to:
2 = Ringing only
0 = Silent
1 = Vibrate only /// You can chage manually to "1" in Registry Editor, phone vibrates once everytime itself.
3 = Vibrate and ringing
Than all you can change values by this behaviour explaining yourself.

I got it thanks Martin. I do it it is very easy.
I waiting for Bluetooth and volume level it will be great
Hi Martin,
did you work on profiles project ? I wonder if you do the application that will turn on and off the Bluetooth in certain hours during the day. I start riding my motorbike and it is very annoying every day morning and evening to turn on and off Bluetooth . Also I use profiles application current version every day it is quite useful thanks for writing it. I have a question I change the profiles which you create by default with my times for silent and ringing but after I reset the phone it returns to default that you created so I need to change it again. I didn't try to create my own profile and to put times in it but if I create my own profile and restart the phone do I loose my own profile ?
