Hello,
I write a little Today Plugin to configure and switch between differents phone modes. The system/phone volume, the ring mode and the SMS, reminders notifs are customizable. The graphics too.
I use it for 2 weeks now but I'd like some people try it and give me their feedback, comments...
You can find all here : PocketZenPhone
These are the future of phone profile control, as far as I can tell. Yours is now the second app to provide this functionality, and more can only be good. The other one is PhoneProfilesSeriously (seriously ), which seems to be full of bugs, judging by the comments made in these forums.
I have some comments about your software. Hope this helps!
- The icons are too big. Maybe we could have the option to choose the profile using smaller icons on the Today screen? I know that we can make our own icons, but even if they are smaller with a transparent surrounding, they will still use the same space on the Today screen.
- I would like more than four definable profiles.
- It would be nice to be able to choose a specific sound to be played for each alert type in each profile (i.e. complete alert- and profile-specific sounds).
Good work!
I can say it's a promising start. However, the setup screen will make THE difference. It's a bit difficult to adjust the configuration using the text file . It reminds me when I was using Borland C++ to develop Win 3.1 applications before the first VB version
I have to do many trials to get the desired result.
Keep going ... Good work!! ... but waiting for the user friendly version
Excellent LITTLE utility.
I had bought "My Phone Profiles", and removed it to use this one. "My phone Profiles" was buggy and made the whole device very slow.
You might want to try the attached settings. Just unzip and copy to:
\Program Files\PocketZenPhone\
I say excellent work (especially with the extra icons)
One thing: Could you find an easier way to setup the profiles, better than to tweak the Phonesettings.txt file
I currently add a window to set the phone modes and I will try to add more settings (notifs ...)
But I have not many time to program this software so it will take a little time to implement new fontions ...
The version 2 is online (download and doc here : http://zendrui.free.Fr )
I add a configuration window and allow to customize the notifications.
I will maybe try to allow to configure the sound for the notification and maybe ring tone but later ...
I don't touch to the icons size for the moment but if it is a big problem I will see :wink:
As always do not hesitate to give me your feedbacks
Thanks
PS : If somenone has made his own icons could it share them ?
Does this software work with WM2002 as well?
I compiled it using the Pocket PC 2003 SDK but I don't use any PPC2003 specific functions.
So this should work under PPC2002 but I cannot try as my XDA is under WM2003...
Let me know if it works ... if not I will try to make a PPC2002 version ...
Being new to this I downloaded the files but they are not the installer type that automaticly install,
They are .001 files what do I do with them?
On a WM2002 machine the programme (v2, 26-2-2004) does not seem to install correctly. After copying and executing the cab file it looks like it installs and it does make the PocketZenPhone directory, but no .exe file can be found. Did I do something wrong?
To Jim
Just copy the file as it is to your device, and run it from there. It will install automatically as a today plugin.
You should have download a .cab file (PocketZenPhone.arm.cab exactly)
Copy it on your pocket (through activeSync for example)
Then on your pocket click on this .cab
It will install automatically the Today plugin.
After that go to Settings->Today->Items and you should see PocketZenphone in the list (it should be checked)
Simply click on ok and when you return to the today page the plug in should appear...
PS for vhan3 : This is not an exe file but a dll file ... so it is normal you don't see it directly on your pocket ... The cab file only creates the registry keys, create the directory and copy the dll on it
No comments at this time but this nice program seems to have lots of promise.
Thanks
Nice work, zendrui
Just 3 comments:
1. After first install, all profiles volumes are set to -1 (Perharps because of an empty regisrty at this time). Should set default values like in V1
2. Uninstall is... arrrggg... impossible until you rename dll and reset. Now, I know... no matter (First tried to uninstall after above bug occured)
3. WORKS GREAT !!! VERY NICE TOOL, VERY USEFULL TOO. THANK YOU !

Thanks for the tips. I tried this on my Qtek 2020: no problems, however on my XDA-1 (WM2002) the plug-in does not appear, nor is it visible in the Today item list.
How do you rename the Dll?

Hello,
1) Ok I will add default params for each modes
2) To uninstall a today plugin you have to disable it before uninstall it.
So to uninstall PocketZenPhone, simply go to Settings->Today->Items, then uncheck PocketZenphone in the list. After that you can uninstall it without any problem (no reset ...)
3) Thanks feel free to give more comments

Thanks a lot. On my Qtek 2020 your programme works great and just as advertised. It is exactly what I needed so I hope you will be able to compile it for PPC2002 as well. I'll test it for you.
IS is possible to change the default folder 4 recieving files via bluetooth from my documents to storage card? any help would be appreciated. thanks
As far as i know there is still no workaround for that..on Moto MPx220, it is possible but you still have to pair the "sending" device and apply a registry tweak to be able to do that.
is that phone a WM5 based one?
Actually the easiest way is to install "Sniper" which is a bluejacking tool, but it allows you to receive bluetooth files to Storage card, or any directory for that matter. Just remember to deactive the phones "beam" settings in phone settings. Works a charm

anyone tried this yet.
Does doing a hard reset alter the application free settings or anything else, for that matter?
Just checked and Folder 3 is showing empty when I unzip it onto my PC before transfering. Is this correct?
also, having unzipped the files I am also unable to delete the sound file. It tells me one of the files is in use?
Are we sure the Crossbow tweak works on the Monet and that none of these files is corrupted?

Thanks rickwyatt.
Just aout of interest is this Only a 'LOOKS' thing or does it add more useful features?
Perhaps I did it wrong but when I unzip the files I end up with 3 folders (Numbered 1-3) PLUS one called Sounds.
Thanks for the theme
The theme worked in my startrek. But, i don't see the alarm icon on whenever i reboot the phone though i set the alarm on. Any idea?
i have tried this on my monet, the first time i followed the instructions as listed here only to fine the phone hangs making strange noises after the sim code screen.
i have carried out a hard reset on my phone and tried again, this time using only the shelres dll from the first folder, no other dll's but all the other files,
i restarted the phone and it started fine however there was nothing in the start menu - one quick restart and all the new icons are present.
looks lovely
thanks
It also worked great on my Qtek 8500, without any problems at all!
Thank you very much!
EDIT: Well, the alarm icon does disappear when I reboot, but as I had WM2003 before,
I'm kind of used to not see the alarm icon on the homescreen! LoL!

Ok, I can't describe it detaily, becouse I haven't English on my phone.
1) In HomeScren pres menu button, properties, wireless, bluetooth properties. Turn BT on, make device visible.
Now can be phone finded via another devices, so do add new device / pair davice or somethink like this, find your device, add it as trusted/paired, confirm code and after first upload/download/access into phone, select allow allways.

Greetings. This is my first post in a couple of years after having problems with my HTC Universal [XDA Exec]. Please be nice to me :]
Before I made this post, I've been searching endlessly...but all I see are solutions for the same problem on a different phone running XDAndroid. So I can't find a solution in regards to the Touch Pro2.
Anyway, I have a problem. When I go to settings and set a ringtone, it doesn't show anything but "Silent." I took the advice I read at a thread from the Diamond and full formatted my SD on FAT32 and put the things back and supposedly it should work.
I tried that and I still have the same problem.
Did I do something wrong? Or are ringtones not working on the TP2 yet?
Thank you for helping in advanced. :]
+1. I've had the same problem for a couple months. It used to work fine, then tried another build and it didn't anymore, and hasn't since. I've reformatted over and over with different card readers, windows and linux, different apps... nothing has worked.
If this would help find the solution quicker.
I'm running the latest FRX06 arrrghhh created with all the latest rootfs and kernels.
I read a thread that I should go to Settings > Dev Tools > Media Scanning but I can't find it there...I'm assuming since that thread was back in September, it was an old version of XDAndroid.

There should be dev tools in app drawer,but you can try to see if in media folder there are files with strange letters or symbols..
Can't find it in the app drawer. I'm going to assume that media scanning is not there because I didn't put my SIM card in it. Well, I can't really put my SIM card because this TP2 is still locked by T-Mo and I have AT&T...just waiting for unlock code so I can use it.
But I've been messing with the phone for a while that I've been putting apps and utilities in.
Again, could it be the fact that I don't have my SIM card in is the reason why Media Scanning is not even visible?

I'm not sure if this is why Media Scanning isn't visible, but might be why ringtones can't be set/chosen.
I have a Tilt2 (RHOD300) with a working SIM and ringtone selection works fine.
I have had the same problem.
These two seps solved the problem for me:
1. full format the sdcard with the hp-tool
2. search for sounds with the mediaplayer

I found Development.apk . Though I don't know if that's the same as Dev Tools.
@Entrophy: If you don't mind, will you boot to XDAndroid without SIM for me?
And from what I recall Media Scanner runs everytime you boot it, and it tells you at the notification bar. Can you also see if it will prompt Media Scanner w/o SIM?

...or do I have to reset the phone and it will show up?

i'm running out of ideas,and putting everything to root is the only one that went out of my brain
It's fine. Thanks for helping me up to this point .
Since I moved the stuff in the Media Folder already, I'll try backing it up, format the SD card again and put it back. I think it should work by then.
Thanks!

Use hp usb format tool
Formats really well
Without full formatting your sdcard with the hp-format tool, you will have no luck.
Copy your SDCard to the PC, format and copy it back, scan and enjoy.
