Ringer profile app?

[Stephiroth]

Hello all! I've been all over the web and can't find what I'm looking for so hopefully you can help. I have an htc Desire HD and would like to know if there is an app where I can create ringer profiles like I used to on my Blackberry. I liked that I was able to specify a different volume for whether my phone was in or out of its holster. I want my Desire to be loud when on standby and silent when in use. Please don't give suggestions for apps that don't cover this, I've seen them all, lol. Thanks!

It may be easier creating your own rules in an app like these than trying to find an out-of-the-box app that generically mimics a Blackberry. In each case the paid version of the app may provide you more functionality to create these rules than the trial version.

Thank you for your help. As I've mentioned before, I'm looking for suggestions that definitely have this feature. None of the app descriptions I've seen covers this one thing that I want (unless I'm reading it wrong, which is quite possible), and the only way to explore the options on my own is to purchase them. I'm not a fan of wasting money on something that may or may not be useful. The fact that most of the features listed have a star next to them indicating that they may not even work and that the developer has abandoned the app is a turn off as well. I'm gonna have to learn how to write my own apps, lol.
I've had my Android for a week now and am extremely disappointed. The reason I got it is because it was capable of doing so many things. But for a phone that is supposed to do everything you have to jump through hoops to get it to do ANYthing. I even had to find my own calendar, note and to-do/task apps, which should be basic factory installed apps. I couldn't even explore my files without dling an app. PLUS most of these apps require weird unnecessary permissions in order to install and you have to pay extra for a basic program if you want it to work at full capacity and to remove ads. So far I feel as though I've been suckered into buying a pretty toy. Compared to my crappy little Pearl the only thing that makes it better is its web browsing capabilities and the storage capacity (which I also have to pay extra for). And if I want it to do anything really cool I have to unlock it which voids the warranty. Not even gonna start on how annoying typing is (especially when you've typed a huge spiel like this then accidentally graze something that navigates you away and you lose everything). All this plus the fact that most of the apps that I've installed gives random third party companies access to my info really pisses me off and I'm considering returning the phone. If I could rate it I would give it half a star for prettiness

I agree that the phone needs a ring profile app with as much customization as blackberry allowed. I got my droid yesterday and the first and only app I have been willing to pay for was "Ringleader Pro"

It isn't as good as Blackberry. It will get you 80 percent there, though. As I said, I just got the phone but I will definitely continue looking for a better ring profiler and will let everyone know if I find one better suited to what we are looking for.

Let me know if you find anything else that doesn't suck, lol. Like a note app, calendar, task manager, chat app, stuff like that. I've tried many but hate them all, lol
