Abstract: Methods and devices for modifying operational modes in a communication device based on application specific parameters. The operational modes of the communication device are modified by adding the application specific parameters of the application to the operational modes of the communication device. Further, commands may be automatically launched after an operational mode change in a communication device. One or more commands to be automatically launched when an operational mode becomes a current operational mode currently used by the communication device are entered into the operational mode of a communication device of a user. Whether the current operational mode has any commands to be automatically launched is determined. The one or more commands are automatically launched if the current operational mode has any commands to be automatically launched.
