PLEASE don't treat it as a finished app, don't expect it to work most of the time, don't even expect it to work some of the time. At the moment it is BUGGY and there are a number of hoops you need to jump through to get it working. I am tempted NOT to fix those for the time being since if you don't even know what nano is or how to save a file in it, then you are most definitely NOT QUALIFIED to reflash your phone if it does break.

I would also like to reiterate that I accept NO RESPONSIBILITY whatsoever for any damages that may be caused through the use, or installation, of this application.

I'll try and help you out if you do break something but understand that this is done as nothing more than a hobby, and since people asked for an app to do these things.

Progress Update
Got around to doing some of the work to get the app up to version 0.3.1 today. Changes include fixing the problem with the .desktop file for the app (not launching when you click on it's shortcut in the menu) as well as some work to get substitution files working from the command line. I am also going to re-look at how the daemon is set up to hopefully improve the way setting of options is handled from the UI. What I may end up doing is another rewrite of the database system and rather than selective listening of DBus events, listening to all of them and comparing them to entries in the database, that would provide real-time settings updates without any of the problems currently seen however it would also result in slightly greater battery usage. Then again, if you were launching apps enough for that to be a problem, it wouldn't...

Will keep you guys updated as it progresses however I am finishing my holiday on the 12th and heading back to University where I will actually have to do proper work, so forgive me if updates are a little less frequent from now on

I was the one who requested for this app and no matter who complains about instability or bugs, I'll still be there to test your development. I dont mind flashing my phone once in a while and I'd definitely want to see this as a stable app some day!

Thanks a lot! Stay in touch here while you're back at university. I'm on a 2 week leave too after exams.

Please dont completely abandon this project like some developers do when they get too busy with life. Keep this thread alive. I'll always be poppin in here to check for any updates once in a while.

My best wishes for you.
