[Announce] Proximus
 

http://www.appcheck.net/storage/prox...nshot-opt2.png

This app is supposed to perform actions (switching your phone profile between silent/beep/ring or creating a reminder) when a predefined rule is true.
Rules are based on your location, the current time, and calendar keywords, and days of the week.
It's in the Ovi store but they take forever to update new versions... If you need to download it from there, try these links:

Nokia mobile browser: http://store.ovi.mobi/content/241275

This is the latest version: (old ones are still on the server if you can guess the filename)

Unless nokia fixes this bug, leave the "use gps" thing on, or turn off the nokia positioning methods.

Re: [Announce] Proximus
 

you can create a rule that is only active if the calendar has an event at the same time, like tell it to search for "meeting" and go silent or whatever.

Re: [Announce] Proximus
 

Wow, very nice. I'll try it out. Looks pretty cool.

I'll report back with any problems.

Re: [Announce] Proximus
 

This works as daemon at startup?

Re: [Announce] Proximus
 

yeah it installs two seperate things, one of these is a daemon, the other is the gui. As per Nokia requirements, the daemon can be disabled from the GUI, but it won't work at all then...

Re: [Announce] Proximus
 

Can you add switching between powersave mode ON/OFF/AUTO based on what time is it?
i really want my phone to switch to powersave ON when i'm going to bed, say... 11:00PM or so, and actually i have to do it manually. Thanks

Re: [Announce] Proximus
 

3rd party apps can't adjust the power saving mode because the required aegis token is not allowed by Nokia. Maybe they will allow it or we can find some other way, or just have features that require an aegis free kernel :(

Re: [Announce] Proximus
 

how is this when compared to alarmed on the n900, when it comes versatility and command execution?

Re: [Announce] Proximus
 

@Creamy Goodness
The app seems to work fine except for the GPS use. I have only one rule defined (for work time to be silent) and have disabled GPS use but it still seems to want to use it anyway.
No other programs are open when it tries to determine position and it only started after installing this. Not sure how I could look into it and determine exactly if it is the culprit and what could be done about it but I thought I'd let you know.
FWIW, I've done a reboot or two and it still does it.

Re: [Announce] Proximus
 

Looks great!
Would It be possible to add detection of wlan access points for rules?
A Nice feature would be the ability to switch background connections on/off.
