Mode Switcher - 1.x/2.x
Overview
What is Mode Switcher? Mode Switcher brings profile support in the form of "modes" that can control nearly every available setting in webOS.
Versions
There are two versions of Mode Switcher available. What version you use is dependent on what version of webOS is running on your device. Mode Switcher 1.x is available for webOS 1.4.x and Mode Switcher 2.x for webOS 2.x.
Mode Switcher 2 was completely rewritten into a Javascript service instead of being an application that runs in the background. It supports controlling even more system settings than MS 1.x with the help of the Advanced System Prefs patches for webOS 2.x. Mode Switcher 2 is faster, better and all around more awesome than before!
Differences in the version's features, settings and capabilities will be noted throughout the rest of the wiki.
