I have an 8525 and love it, i just put the WM6 rom on a few days ago but feel that there is something missing. I was wondering if there was a simple freeware program out there that gave the 8525 profiles. I had a 2125 and it would change the phone to a silent mode when i had a meeting set up in out look, i miss this feature and hope someone out there knows of a program.
HTC HOME has a profile tab and more:

profiles of 8525
thanks the program works good, it is a little too much on the display of the phone though. Does anyone know if there is a way to remove some of the features or add other ones to this plugin, i got the HHC customizer and it does not allow for the changes that i would like to make.. I am open for sugestions
As of yet you can not change anything in the HTC Home except its looks and number of tabs. There is no way how to shrink it or how to add more functionality.
It's not freeware (costs 15.00 buckazoids) but I like it... SBSH PPhoneWeaver
Actually I typically just hold the Comm Manager Button to put the device into Vibrate mode myself..
I like SPB Phone Suite. It has most of the stuff the WM6 is missing (at least for me). Unfortunately, it's $20.
I use Phone alarm which works really well.
Is there a ROM that has a profile feature? I am kinda new to this and am not sure what is really out there.
i like profiles from winmobileapps.
anyone know of a cab file for the quick dial contacts screen/page of the cube. it's all use the cube for, so i'd like to just have my other favorites (main ones being on home) mapped to a button. just press and it's there, without the cube animation etc.
cheers
or failing that, which files to extract from windows etc before copying to new 'cubeless' rom, if that's possible.
Standalone Quickdial.exe from Cude
Bump...
I have the same question (1.5 years later). Is there a standalone version of the QuickDial application from the HTC Cube (without TouchFlo and without the Cube)? I would like to call it from a shortcut on the today screen so that I can dial favorite contacts safely while driving. (A VGA version would be even better.)

HTC Touch Diamond Sprint
BTW: I know that TF3D has a similar contacts dialer, but I have TF3D disabled because...
1) I can't customize the TF3D home screen to suite my needs
2) The device lock doesn't work in TF3D with device pin protection enabled, but the regular WM6.1 "Today Screen" device lock does work.
If someone knows how to bring-up the TF3D contacts screen with TF3D disabled, then that would work for me.
TouchFlo Detacher is yet another way to simultaneously have TouchFlo 3D and the regular Today screen. Previous excellent solutions include SecondToday and ManilaControl.
Description
So what makes it different? Well, this app is actually very similar to MastSogo's ManilaControl. The main difference is that the author plans to actively develop it for a while, whereas ManilaControl has been a bit frozen in development for a few months. It is also open source, licensed under the Ms-RL. The program is on CodePlex, so download speeds should be much better than the average rapidshare link. Finally, it is in English and not Spanish. Other than that, it's just another solution for the same problem!
See it in action on the YouTubes

Download the CAB and source code here: http://www.codeplex.com/TFDetacher
Installation
As explained on CodePlex...
1. Install the CAB
2. Run the configuration app
3. Enable all the standard Today Items you want to use
4. Do not re-enable TouchFlo 3D in the Today items (if you do, it will undo all your other Today plugins)
Requirements
Windows Mobile 6.1
.Net Compact Framework 2.0
A device that runs TouchFlo3D / Manila
Current features
- Free up your Today screen by hosting Manila outside of the Today screen! TouchFlo Detacher can launch/show/hide/close Manila independent of any other Today screen settings. Now you can have your TouchFlo cake and eat it too! The most obvious use is to assign a soft key to toggle between seeing TouchFlo and seeing the regular Today screen.
- Service runs as a background application (in your StartUp folder) for maximum speed when toggling Manila modes.
- NO ANNOYING SPLASH SCREEN when application launches.
- Service is 100% idle when not receiving messages or controlling TouchFlo, so no CPU is wasted! (Just a tiny bit of RAM)
- Configuration application allows modifying manila.exe location, manila window class, and more, so that this utility can (presumably) be used with other manila versions (such as TouchFlo 2D). This is untested. Out of the box, it supports TouchFlo 3D in its default configuration as seen on the Diamond/Pro/HD.
- Configuration application can clean out the ManilaActivateToday.exe from the notification queue. (That app can interefere with TouchFlo Detacher's operation.)
- Shortcuts to start/show Manila, hide Manila, and close Manila. These can be assigned to hardware buttons (if your device has them) or virtual hardware buttons through the use of 3rd party applications such as AE Button Plus.
- Configuration application can customize the softkeys in both Today and TouchFlo's Home tab. You can use it to not only assign TouchFlo Detacher operations (show/hide/close), but any other application on your device.
I want only to say many thanks for that cab it works very good on my Touch HD ... Great App cardefbel
THE best piece of software I've downloaded. Used it on both Touch Diamond and Touch HD and love it!
Perfect - thanks
Thanks for this awesome app....
Would I be correct in thinking that with your app I can go all out on WAD2 or something and still be able to switch back and forth between WAD2 and Touchflo without all the hassle?
Thanks. Downloaded, installed, and be able to switch between TF3D and my old style today with Spb Diary.

This is not my application, but I realy love it and would share it with y'all.
Is it also possible to have TF3D together with SPB today screen combined whit SPB mobile shell?
Hi Guys,
i add a screenshoot just to share with you the result of this great app.
i have one question, maybe someone of you have the same problem.
i am running the "non TF3D" screen with Resco today plugin and launcher.....if i try to put a background (via setting Today, use picture as background...) no matter which kind of picture i choose, they are opaque.
cant figure out a solution.
thanks and Ciao!

Thanks cardefbel !!!
i can tell that this is the best suggestion i have never got in this forum.
you have got the point at the first shot!!!!!! and i have my second today with a brilliant background.
of course thanks to chaosdefinesorder that playing with the device have found out the problem.
for those are asking about my second today:
Resco today plugin
Resco explorer 2008
that's it.
ciao!
Looks great!
I have tried WAD2 and Spb Mobile Shell and I like many of the things that those things bring that TF3D doesn't. I like them both, but I have not been able to break away from the TF3D which is one of the major factors I purchased the phone. Now I can have my cake and eat it too. We'll give it a shot! Thanks.
Update - I loaded it and it seems to work great. I loaded back my Spb Mobile Shell and seems to be working nicely between. It did take a few tweaks, but it is running fine. One thing however is that when I am back in TF3D my hard home key doesn't work to bring me back to the TF3D home. Any ideas?
Thanks for the program cardefbel but I am having a problem with it....notice that if I'm using the SPB screen it won't go back to TF3D after 15mins.....if I want my TF3D i need to reboot it.....but if I on the TF3D I can swap to SPB anytime.....
absolutely excellent, having my appointments on the screen with a 1 button press to TF3D is awesome

Are you using SPB mobile shell or SPB pocket plus. I tried to reproduce it with SPB mobile shell, but the switching to TF3D worked for me after 15 mins.
BTW, it's not a program I wrote, found it on the net and realy liked it.
I have a problem with WEATHER page
I have started the program
il works perfectly BUT
if i go in the weather page, under TF3D, he changes automatically to today.
Any idea ????

Same issue here .. If anyone has a key..
I prefer to have this button for TF3D Home instead of going back to Today
Hi,
The /only/ thing I prefer on my old TouchPro and Kaiser phones was the hardware tab key, which has been removed from the new one.
Ive found a nice tool called AEKMap (http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php) which can re-map keys. It needs registering ($15) to get rid of the nag screen, but it works great.
Ive added a like
Key 00F2 k0009
which re-maps the mail envelope key to be tab. works in rdesktop, opera etc.
It looks like a very powerful utility for other uses as well, eg it can launch programs of key presses / combos etc. Im gonna have a good play later, but for now it was worth the £15 to get tab back

Hi!
Finally I find someone with a solution to this annoying problem
But I don´t understand how to remap the key.
The layot for Rhodium is not to be found.
And I have a Swedish phone, with special letters as function keys, does that mean that the solution is different as well (and I don´t want to destroy it)?
/Danne
look in the Rhodium apps, tweaks, themes, etc forum. someone wrote a remapping program & its free. i currently have my Messaging key mapped as an "OK" key
Hi!
I'm looking for a application that would add program shortcuts to the basic WM 6.1 home screen. Just 6-10 shortcuts, no tabs needed. Something like HTC Home or SPB Pocket Plus (annoying tabs, too many unneeded features).
I tested a few programs like this, but they made too many changes to the start menu.
And it would be cool, it that or another application would allow to quickly change phone profiles (normal/vibrate/silent) either by a programmable button or better by shortcuts on the home screen.
Please recommend, thanks.
Resco Conact Manager comes with a plugin for what you want
