I've noticed this question has been asked in the past, but none of the posts in the threads I saw have had a recent answer, so I figure to try again:
Very simple question: I want an app that does exactly what the Blackberry's stock profile manager does:
- Set a profile that will, for example, make my Mail App (stock mail app) ring a certain ringtone, while my SMS are vibrate, and my ringer is something else, and my calendar is something else, too, while my GMail app is different as well. And each profile I create has the ability to change all of the above, from within the app itself.
I've read about these so far:
- Setting Profiles
- Profile
- PhoneWeaver
- Tasker
- Some weird instructions by a guy named vent, or something
None of the above apps explicitly say that they can manage profiles the way I'm asking, just like the Blackberry. I'm not going to do what the "vent" guy suggested because this isn't just for me, it's for a company of people, who's experience can range from IT expert to "what's a browser?". Money/Free isn't a detractor.
Another question maybe someone here might know:
- Why didn't Android come stock with this?
- Why is this feature so difficult to achieve? Is it the devs or Android's fault?
- Does the iPhone have anything similar, either app based or stock? I'm not an apple fan, but some of my users are, and have asked.
Thanks in advanced for your replies!
