We don't want an alarm, we want Alarmed to trigger mfakecaller to run at a certain time. So touch the button that currently says "Alarm" and change it from the drop down so it says "Command execution" instead


Also we don't want it to run "Every minute" so change the scheduling button to something else. You can choose a date or time, for testing let's choose "In.." from it's drop down. "In.. " sets a delay.


Once you've given your alarm a name and filled in a command your new alarm setup should look like this. Here, I'll get a call from best friend of opensource Steve Jobs in 5 seconds time - he's a very important man and he might sue me if I keep him waiting!


Simply hit "Save event" and in 5 seconds (or so) you should start feeling the familiar rumblings of mfakecaller starting up. Easy, right?



Because Alarmed saves your previous events, it keeps a list of them by name that you only need to go back into and trigger again when you need them. Think of them a little like fake call profiles, saves a lot of time filling them in

i solved it, now i can run it well
im waiting for the next release..

if you mind, i want to give a suggestion for the next updates.
trigger answer button to play audio files in low volume (optional). example : a person talking audio that could be from many sources, recorded files for instance, so that people near us can hear it but faintly. so they are convinced its a real call thank you

Thanks also for the suggestions. I'm afraid i'm not sure when I'll ever get my hands on a N900 again so i can't promise any updates soon, though I like your suggestion a lot

I did have an update for mFakeCaller where the images and bits and pieces were selectable from popup windows which was much nicer but it never was released generally.

To be honest it was only made as a simple application and I never expected it to go anywhere, indeed i didn't expect anyone to still be asking about it lol It would be cool if someone was to take on the concept and release a more complete app with new features - I think it would make an ideal starter project
