Thank you all for your feedback.
The main reason I made profilesx, and why I prefere it to tweakr,
tweakr is a workaround.
I used it too, and I am grateful to the developer of tweakr.
In my opinion, to supporting only two profiles is a bad design decision.
Right after some users complained that there are only two profiles,
he made it possible to handle additional profiles. That was really fast.
But a workaround isn't necessary. ProflesX uses the same config files
like the builin profiles manager and the same "profile-backend"(libprofiled).
No hacks, no hidden apis, no unofficial dbus-calls, no fake profile.
It is all there.
But of course, it would be much much easier (and faster) to implement
those features, if nokia would had made this gui-parts open source.
Instead of that, I had to recreate the whole gui-parts from scratch.
(the same goes for other ui-components (calendar/mediaplayer widget, phone-ui,
contacts-ui). And I really don't get it, what would nokia lose, if those gui-parts
would have been open source.There are so much possibilities for
the community to make this device better and fulfill more
user wishes).
