It's part of the linux philosophy. Have one program do one thing and have it do it right. ProfilesX has a much nicer implementation, which is the reason why Alarmed can easily use it. Actually, alarmed isn't even aware of ProfilesX because it integrates smoothly into Maemo. With tweakr, people who don't use english cannot switch profiles which is a pretty bad bug imho.

Well if you want to stick with tweakr, just don't upgrade alarmed. To make the updater ignore alarmed updates by default, you should be able to just do

Code:
echo “alarmed hold” | dpkg --set-selections
as root from a terminal. To unhold it at any future time, do

Code:
echo “alarmed unhold” | dpkg --set-selections

I don't want to miss one of them. Maybe there are other apps offering similar functionality but why should I replace one app by two or three or even more? tweakr still works for me so I currently don't see a reason to change it.
ah ok you are all right, I didn't consider that function because I use these programs only for profiles function.

Editing some system file by myself isn't exactly what I want. Even if it could be done easily it's not quite comfortable on the N900.

It's part of the linux philosophy. Have one program do one thing and have it do it right.
That's only half the truth. It's right that un*x philosophy propagates this kind of kiss-approach. But tweakr is another kind of app. It's not offering functionality by it's own (despite changing profiles which indeed is a functionality) but offering some easy to use gui for tweaking some system configurations. A kind of a better editor.

ProfilesX has a much nicer implementation, which is the reason why Alarmed can easily use it. Actually, alarmed isn't even aware of ProfilesX because it integrates smoothly into Maemo. With tweakr, people who don't use english cannot switch profiles which is a pretty bad bug imho.
Well, that's a good point. I didn't follow that language dependent part of changing profiles deeply as it's working perfectly for me.

I'll have a look around for some other apps which could satisfy my needs and will then follow to profilesx and newer version of alarmed. I just can't stand being stuck on an older version ...

Yes, that would be like me saying that all the stuff ProfilesX can do can also be done on a commandline.

Get real, please.

Install, tweak, uninstall.

Camera launcher or something like that allows for more options, including, iirc, what camera app to launch.

I am not able to select any profiles created with ProfilesX. I have uninstalled & reinstalled Alarmed a few times, nothing. Version 0.2.0.2. Any ideas?

You're absolutely right. Just forgot that theme customizer meanwhile also supports that feature.

The three-step isn't my way of configuring things. But I'll have a closer look at camera launcher. Maybe it also satisfies my needs.

I've had an update for Alarmed appear for the last few days but when I try to install it it tells me it cannot due to conflicting something or rather.

When I click more details the status is "update available but not installable".

Any ideas?
