Use Profile presets in the N900 with Tweakr

A new feature in Tweakr allows you to extend the sound Profiles to more than just General and Silent.

Tweakr introduces the concept of Profile preset. Presets are Profile settings which can be saved, deleted and assigned to the General profile. This allows you to practically use as many profiles as you want on the N900.

The normal use-case is to first tune the General profile for the new preset you want to save, then open Tweakr and choose the Save current General profile to new preset button. This will allow you to save the settings of the General profile with a new name.

After that, you will find a new button in your Status Menu, as shown in the following screenshot:

You can now select whatever preset you have created before, and its settings will be applied to the General profile.

If you’re not using Tweakr yet, go get it from its download page!

    Caro Salvatore,

    Complimenti per la tua applicazione, purtroppo non riesco ad installarla sul Nokia N900.
    Tramite il menu Cataloghi provo ad installare da file ma il file deb non viene riconosciuto come compatibile.

    Grazie.

    Cia, bellissima la tua applicazione molto utile.
    Volevo solo farti notare che sul nuovo firmware mi ha brickato il cell quando ho impostato la “Snap Grid” su “NO”. Il desktop si è incasinato di brutto e il cell continuava a riavviarsi ciclicamente.

    Thanks for a great plug-in!

    I noticed that currently profile names cannot include spaces. It would be nice if they could… ;)

  7. Sorry far the late reply, everybody. Let me give some answers:

    @Ottorino: l’applicazione adesso è in extras-devel, quindi non devi più installare il file a mano;

    @bAdBoYz: I’m afraid that goes way beyond Tweakr, and I doubt the N900 can be hacked to that extent :)

    @Chris: è aggiustato nell’ultima versione… hildon-home faceva una bella divisione per zero in quel caso :)

    @Vladimir: that’s a limitation of gconf, and I’m too lazy to start escaping spaces :) At least now I’ve fixed it so that it gives you an error message when you try to save with a name that has spaces.
