[Announce]N9Profile
 

Hi everyobody,

I am glad to announce N9Profile, my first app for N900. N9Profile can create profiles for N900, fast change profiles ,set profiles based on event in calendars, location id from mobile network, profile based on WiFi network name, timed profile ( examample: silent profile for 4 hours) and profiles for incoming calls ( N900 will ring or not based on profile for mobile number) It is using "default" profile in N900 for change profiles settings.

Pictures and little info here.

Install:
N9Profile is now in devel. :) or
Download package
Upload to device, go to X-Terminal and sudo gainroot. Then apt-get install n9profil_0.1-1_armel.deb or you can use maemo file manager, find it and click on deb file (I do not know if this will work).

You will need:
Qt4 and Qt4 maemo 5 libs and Qt mobility libs
calendar-backend, libc6 (>= 2.5.0-1), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.1.4), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2.1), libprofile0, libqt4-core (>= 4.6.2~git20100401), libqt4-dbus (>= 4.6.2~git20100401), libqt4-gui (>= 4.6.2~git20100401), libqt4-maemo5 (>= 4.6.2~git20100401), libqt4-network (>= 4.6.2~git20100401), libqt4-xml (>= 4.6.2~git20100401), libqt4-xmlpatterns (>= 4.6.2~git20100401), libqtm-systeminfo, libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1)

More Info:

• Still Beta but works fine on my N900.
• You can change more settings in profiles. Like if profile will be silent or ringing
• You can minimize by pressing the close button. App can by closed in menu. To show app again click on icon.
• For profiles based on calendar you have to select calendars and for profiles create words and set priority. App will try to find this words in name of event in calendar and set profile when this event occurs.
• For location profile (wifi and location id) app will set profile when you have rule for location id or SSID wifi network.
• Default profile, profiled based on calendar, position (wifi and location id), timed profile and profile for phone numbers have priority.
• Default 1, calendar 2, position 3 (wifi have more priority here) timed profile 4 and phone 5., app will choose profile with more priority = only one can be set in phone
• Please write feedback, thanks.

Hope you will enjoy it!

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Sounds and looks very interesting and promising!
Think this is an app a lot of us here are waiting for!
Will test it as soon as it makes it to extras-devel...

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Hi Bzouk,


That is interesting. I played with those options in my own custom
profile program (ProfilesX). But I couldn't get it to work.
These options were just ignored.
How did you get it working?

Nicolai

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

I test this long time ago and I thing it work, but you are right, it is ignored. My mistake sorry. Thanks Nicolai

But silent/ringing profile works even for incoming calls.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Yes, but you can not change the ringing type to
ringing for the builtin profile "silent". The "silent" profile is always
silent.
And what about the system sound in the silent profile, can that
be changed?

regards
nicolai

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

App change only "default" profile settings in N900 and default profile can be silent. I didn't test changing values for "silent" profile so i don't know. Problem is that i don't have access to profiled daemon source codes, it's close source right ?

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

tanxxxxxxxxxxxx. this is just what i need. from the day i bought n900 i missed Best Profiles app on my n81. great job Bzouk.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Does this also increase the number of settings that can be influenced by the profile? I would love to have for instance a power-saving profile, setting screen brightness & timeouts to low, GSM only, wifi/bluetooth off etc.
And on the other hand an 'external power' profile, setting screen to full, wifi to non-powersaving, bluetooth on, and so on.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Hi maartenmk,

N9Profile is for ringing profiles only for now (changing volume, ringing sounds form calls, sms, email and IM, vibrations etc.) and (power-saving profile, setting screen brightness & timeouts to low, GSM only, wifi/bluetooth off etc.) are something else, some apps already exist for this. But one big app for all of this would be nice.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Does this use a daemon or must the application be running in the background?

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

I know of apps for all of those (non-profile) things, but afaik none that arrange all of them at the same time. Is there an app I have missed?

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Do you want to rent ur brains?
Is there any possibility of GPS support, like in location based profile?
Thanks for the app, this is awesome.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

the profile didnt save , everytime exit the app and open again, the profile gone,the time profile didnt save either.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

App is running in the background when you hide it.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Perhaps I am being a bit dense, but what do you mean hide it?

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

alienhead:
In next release i will make map where you can select area for profile and this will use GPS.

ryanl33x1511- I will look what is wrong, thx for report

skalogre - When you press close button ( bit X in right top corner) it will hide app only (it will run on background) I am using this and in menu is button for close app.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

I see. Now, is there some indicator somewhere of what profile is currently enabled? Also, I think there may be some issues with profile switching with the network Cell ID. I had set it to use a specific profile while at work. To get it activated I switched the phone off line then back on line. However, once I left the area of that Cell ID it did not revert back to the default profile.

Anyhow, this is a great application, thank you!

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

I have put status bar v main windows.
I am not using Cell ID but Location ID (that could be entire city etc.) and Qt Mobility to get that ID. Maybe some bug can be in Qt Mobility. I will look on that too.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Wow, this is something I've been waiting for since day one. Great job, but will have to wait until it's at least in "testing" as I've been burnt before with "devel" repo and don't want to go through a complete rebuild again.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Could you please use CellID instead because it is better for smaller areas?

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Yes, no problem.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Hi,

Can i help you to fix some stuff like profile load , adn making your app as a desktop widget ?
I got it to build, creating a deb package for the builder in scrachbox and maemo autobuilder.

Please tell me, you do a lot of work, and i never found the time to do that, but i have time to do some fix :)

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Hi Fabrice,

yes that is great and of course I welcome your help. I want to learn new stuff too :). If you have icq, jabber, skype just send me PM and we can talk about it.

I am programing new version of N9Profile. I have idea that I could split calendar profile, timed profile, location profile etc. into plug-ins. N9Profile will load plug-ins and use them to set profiles into device. Others developer can create plug-ins of course.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Hi there,

I have a question about N9Profile.
When I want t modify a profile I can't change the sms-bar. Everytime I set this bar to the right and saved the settings the bar is always back to "0". So there's no sound when receiving a sms message!
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Does N9Profile work after a reboot without clicking on the application shortcut?

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

No, it is my stupid mistake :), i will fix it.

DaSilva

No N9Profile will not start when you reboot. This will be in future releases.

Hi Bzouk,

I've got an update this morning and the setting of the volume works! Many thanks!

Still 2 questions:
1) In the settings of the phone number rules I cannot add a new phonenumber. The telephone number must be in the format +XXXXXXXXXX. When I entered a number in this format it keeps coming with the message of the format.
2) Is it possible in the Network profile to enter a rule when you are connected with bluetooth to, for example a carkit? That would be great!

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Will this fantastic app have much of a drain on the battery as it is always running in the background?

GREAT WORK you make Nokia look stupid !!!!.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Cool program, along the lines of using GPS to determine location, and chance of adding WiFi for determining location? I don't usually have the GPS on, but it would be cool to change the profile when I get home and my phone can "see" my wireless router.

Also, is this in the repository yet? I looked and wasn't able to find it, but my phone has been complaining about not being able to fully update the extra-devel repo.

Again, thanks for a cool app.

Edit: Found it on extras-devel, was just a problem with my phone updating the repo.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Er... maybe I should hold off on posting until I'm fully awake, since the WiFi profile change is already an option.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Some way to run a script in addition to changing profiles would be really useful!

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Has anyone managed to get the profiles to save after a reboot?

Doesn't seem to save them on my N900.

Cheers,

Nate.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

thanks....

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

It would be very nice if this app would make it possible to auto-switch statuses depending on e.g. your network.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Could it be possible, that the app broke my profile (symptoms)?

Is it possible to reset the regular profile?

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Try in x terminal:

dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.set_value string:"general" string:"ringing.alert.type" string:"ringing"

Maemo your set silent profile in N9Profile and default profile setting was set to silent.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Thank you! That solved it! Phantastic!

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Haven't found a way to fix it, but I'm having the same problem.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

Problem for me is that the requested number is 1 number to long. In Switzerland we only have +xxxxxxxxxxx so (11 numbers), so i can't test it.

Re: [Announce]N9Profile
 

I'm putting in +14044983948 (numbers jumbled for privacy reasons), and its not recognising it as having correct length ..
