== What is Mode Switcher? ==

{{icon|Icon_Mode-Switcher.png|float:right;}}
Mode Switcher brings profile support to webOS in the form of "modes" that can control nearly every available setting on the Palm Pre/Pre+ and Pixi/Pixi+.
 
Currently, MS can control:

<blockquote>
* Wallpaper
* IM status
* All Volume Controls
* All Ringtones
* Display (brightness, timeout, LED/banner notifications)
* Touchstone Screen On/Off
* All Radios (Wifi/Bluetooth/GPS/Data/Phone)
* Open/Close Applications
* Network Type
* Roaming (Forced, Automatic)
* E-Mail
</blockquote>

These modes can be activated manually, or triggered automatically by a number of different methods:

<blockquote>
* Time of Day
* Charger (touchstone, USB or wall charger. Can be set separately)
* Touchstone Orientation
* GPS Location
* Battery Level
* Bluetooth (by Profile or Device Name)
* Application Focus
* Calendar Event
* Headset Connection
* Wifi SSID
* Silent Switch
* Display state
</blockquote>

== How to Install Mode Switcher ==

==== Overview ====
<blockquote>
'''Stable Releases'''
 
The stable releases of Mode Switcher can be found in the WebOS-Internals Feed and are recommended for general public use.
 

'''Testing Releases'''
 
The testing releases of Mode Switcher can be found in the WebOS-Internals Testing Feed.
 

Due to the testing releases of Mode Switcher being in the WebOS-Internals Testing Feed, please take a few mintues to read over, understand and agree to the [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds#Rules_that_you_must_agree_to_before_using_these_feeds WebOS-Internals Testing Feed Rules] before continuing. The testing releases of Mode Switcher are recommended only for those that wish to test out the latest and greatest features before they are implemented into the stable releases.
 

'''Corresponding/Related Patches'''
 
There are two patches that extend Mode Switcher's functionality.
<blockquote>
* Launch Mode Switcher on Luna Boot ''(Pre/Pre+ Only)''
* System Menu Mode Menu
</blockquote>

These patches are found in the WebOS-Internals Patch Feed. Neither patch is required for Mode Switcher to function. For more information on how these patches extend the functionality of Mode Switcher, please see the [[#Usage_Manual|Mode Switcher Manual]].
 

The following steps will guide you through installing Mode Switcher and related patches with Preware.

Mode Switcher brings profile support to WebOS in the form of 'modes' that cover nearly every available phone setting. These modes can be triggered in my many different ways: placing the phone on a touchstone, time of day, current wifi ssid, GPS location.

Examples of settings which can be controlled by Mode Switcher include, but are not limited to:

* WiFi on/off
* Bluetooth on/off
* GPS on/off
* IM Status
* Ringer on/off/vibrate
* Ringtone
* Brightness

Currently, Mode Switcher is found in the WebOS-Internals Testing Feeds.

When installing Mode Switcher from Preware, the "Launch Mode Switcher on Luna Boot" patch will automatically be installed at the same time as Mode Switcher.

 

There is another patch, "System Menu Mode Menu Patch", that extends Mode Switcher's functionality. This patch is Webos-Internals Patch feed. This patch is not required for Mode Switcher to work.

 

Due to the Mode Switcher app being in the WebOS-Internals Testing Feeds, please take a few mintues to read over, understand and agree to the [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds#Rules_that_you_must_agree_to_before_using_these_feeds WebOS-Internals Testing Feed Rules] before continuing.

== What is Mode Switcher? ==
{{icon|Icon_Mode-Switcher.png|float:right;}}
<blockquote>
Mode Switcher brings profile support to WebOS in the form of 'modes' that cover nearly every available phone setting. These modes can be triggered in my many different ways: placing the phone on a touchstone, time of day, current wifi ssid, GPS location.

Examples of settings which can be controlled by Mode Switcher include, but are not limited to:

* WiFi on/off
* Bluetooth on/off
* GPS on/off
* IM Status
* Ringer on/off/vibrate
* Ringtone
* Brightness
* Wallpaper
* System Volume
* Media Volume

</blockquote>

== How to install Mode Switcher ==

==== Overview ====
<blockquote>
The following steps will guide you through installing Mode Switcher with Preware.
 

Currently, Mode Switcher is found in the WebOS-Internals Testing Feeds. Mode Switcher's dependent/required patch, "Launch Mode Switcher on Luna Boot", is found in the WebOS-Internals Patch feed and is required for Mode Switcher to work. When installing Mode Switcher from Preware, the "Launch Mode Switcher on Luna Boot" patch will automatically be installed at the same time as Mode Switcher.

 

There is another patch, "System Menu Mode Menu Patch", that extends Mode Switcher's functionality. This patch is Webos-Internals Patch feed. This patch is not required for Mode Switcher to work.

 

Due to the Mode Switcher app being in the WebOS-Internals Testing Feeds, please take a few mintues to read over, understand and agree to the [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds#Rules_that_you_must_agree_to_before_using_these_feeds WebOS-Internals Testing Feed Rules] before continuing.
