New Software: M8 Profile

yes:
choose brightness 100% in profile

When I got my Meizu M8 some days ago, I was wondering were I can select profiles. And then with the help of this great forum, I was brought to "M8 Profile"

Very cool app - very helpful. I'm using it all the time.

But I have a little problem. Maybe you can halp me.
Every time I activate a profile (no matter which profile), the master volume of my Meizu is reset to 100%. There I don't want the master volume that loud, I always have to change it manually via M8 Sprite (System settings->Sound->Volume) or Control panel. I know that I can set the ring volume for each profile, but I want to lower the loudness of any sound (games, ringtone-sample, alarms, ...)
Is there a way to tell M8 Profile to leave the master volume untouched?

I am using the FW 0.9.2.7

Thanks in advance.

Check the registry, somewhere M8Profile has made registry keys/dwords/strings for silence, whisper, loud, normal and fly mode. Maybe you can edit the registry with M8Sprite

Thanks for tha tip LVL, I found the reg-entrys of M8Profile, but unfortunately there is no "master volume" entry. Just the same properties I can adjust with the M8Profiler UI.

But there must be some registry key that sets the volume to 100%....

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Archon\M8Profiler there are subfolders called Profile0 ... Profile4. Each subfolder contains a value called "UserVolume" but this is only the volume of the ring tone.

I guess this reg-key holds the value for the master volume: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume\Volume
The value is changing, if the Master Volume is changed. E.g. if I set the master volume to 60% this value is 0x99999999. And if I activate a M8Profiler - profile, this value is reset to 0xFFFFFFFF.

I think it is implemented in M8Profile, You should be able to make script that sets the volume to the volume you want.
Do you know Mortscript? Google it, you can make a script and you can make 'your' own tiny program that sets it just the way you want it A PDF file is included, you can search for the command for volume and it will set the volume to the % you want it to.
You should give it a try.
You can even make a script so it first starts M8Profile and after M8Profile it will set the volume to 60%
This is not difficult, but you need to know what you are doing

It should look like this:
RunWait( "\Disk\Programs\M8Profile\M8Profile.exe" )
SetVolume( 154 )

This works I tested it!

Download this: PNA.zip
And execute the M8Profile on the M8.
If your M8Profile installation map is not \Disk\Programs\M8Profile\M8Profile.exe, you can change it to the map in which your M8Profile is located.
With M8Sprite, go to Desktop, then Profile, double click it, press executable and go to the M8Sprite.exe from the download link i gave you(Mortscript autorun file that is called M8Sprite.exe)

If you don't understand any of it, i will create a cab file, so i get it very easily done for you But for now you should understand what i talked about and i hope you can get it working, because i can!

cheers

Is it me or do i seem to use a lot of smilies?

I did nearly the same thing:

1) using the PNA-files of MortScript
2) created a M8Profile.mscr script
3) renamed the autostart.exe to M8Profile.exe
4) copied M8Profile.mscr, M8Profile.exe and MortScript.exe to a folder on my M8.
5) edited the desktop link of M8Profile with M8Sprite and replaced the exe-path, so that my M8Profile.exe will be started.

It works perfectly

I was so busy getting MortScript scripts running on my M8 and trying to set the Volume in the registry, that I didn't noticed, that you updated your post and did the whole work for me.

But never mind. I've learnt that MortScript is a really nice tool for creating "macros" and shortcuts on the M8.

Thanks LVL

Ow, sorry about that
I am glad you made it work

Mortscript is pretty cool!
I like to experiment with it

First things first: thanks a lot for the app. I use it all the time.
But there is a "but": every time I choose a profile (any of them), screen brightness goes to zero.
How can I solve that?
Thanks again.
Grimmjow.
PS. I don't know how to make scripts, and I think that if I try to edit the register I will certainly break everything (newbie here... ), so I am asking for a way to configure that within the program. Thanks a lot again.

If you go to a profile's settings (press and hold one of the profile button) you can setup the brightness there.

Would like to know what is the latest version of this app????
I have 315 and 106.
LVL, Have you made additional changes to this app. for the 0927 fW?? As both the 106 and 315 versions I have are from a long time ago...

Thanks

The 1.0.6 Eng NEW, make sure that you have this one from the the download link in the first post. Because fineday updated the 1.0.6 to the 1.06 NEW because of a firmware incompatibility.

there seems to be a new 1.0.7 version since yesterday:

091011
1, SDK092x compile, fine-tune animation parameters, in addition there is no update.

Note: Due to the previous version 1.0 does not allow operation of the flight mode switch, so after the upgrade the default flight mode switch is off by default, to enter the mode settings, open effect can only be effected after the save.

092x version of SDK compiler does not support the previous firmware version 092x.

But for now it is only available in Chineese

I am sure that fineday will update it as soon as possible.
He is one of the few Chinese developers that is nice enough to also create a English one.

When somebody is interested for M8 Profile v1.07 in English,

tell me, write PN or here, I will do it... I think i need with test 2-3h for translating.

Don't try, i am sure that fineday will update us soon, he always does. If not, we need you
