I've actually gotten better at this by basing my alarms off of several 90-minute intervals and using tasker on my phone to wake me up with a good song. I make sure to change the song frequently so that I don't get ptsd when I hear it anywhere else.
You can use the Tasker app for Android to block calls using wildcards during certain hours. Here's a guide on how to set up call blocking.
I have a similar profile that mutes calls from non-Favorite numbers during certain hours so I can only be contacted for emergencies, etc.
You really can't talk about the power of Android apps without bringing up Tasker. In a nutshell, it allows you to automate just about anything on your phone.
I use it to automatically silence my phone whenever I'm at school or charging overnight. I use it to block calls from first time unknown callers. I use it to enable or disable auto rotate depending on which app I'm in. I've used it in the past to switch between two different launchers based on whether I'm at school or not. I've even set it up to do some wacky things like play the Wii Shop Channel theme whenever I open the Play Store (stole the idea from someone else) and speed up or slow down all system-wide animations based on the amount of light hitting the light sensor.
If you can't tell already, it's insanely powerful and limited really only by your creativity. If you want to try before you buy I think I remember a trial version being on the developer's website. But it really is the best few dollars I've spent on an app.
Sesame Search is a universal search app that integrates seamlessly into Nova launcher and other custom launchers. You can search your Spotify playlists, subscribed subreddits, contacts, and tons more all from the same place. By far the best search solution I've seen on any phone ever and it's what convinced me to use a custom launcher instead of the stock Pixel launcher.
Another part of Android that I enjoy that I haven't seen mentioned are live wallpapers, and Google makes some that are downright sexy. You can sideload any of their Pixel live wallpapers by looking for them on Google. Fracta, Minima, Chrooma, and Material Islands are all quality too and those are available on the Play Store.
Tasker has not been banned from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en
They were delisted because they had implemented a function (android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS) that stops the phone from sleeping properly. A function that Google had notified everyone with some advanced notice would not be allowed except for in certain instances which Tasker did not meet. The Tasker Crew cleaned things up and got the app back up in no time.
this is the link to tasker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en). as for the task i set up, i was using the cell towers around work (because the gps didn't work well in the building) for tasker to know i was in my office. if it connected to my work cell towers between 9-930 it would say "hey baby just got to work, miss you.", or other message randomly chosen from a list, then i had a list of generic nice messages (miss you, can't wait to see you, etc) that would get sent when i would plug the phone in/unlock the screen when i was at work. then when i would leave work and the phone would drop off my work cell towers it would send a message saying "hey baby just left work see you soon" or something along those lines. i had 3 lists of messages, an arrived at work list, left work list, and general nice message list and tasker would randomly pick which message to send to help it not seem so automated.
I don't see why not using the Tasker app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_CA
For Android users, there's Tasker and the Tasker Plugin for Tesla. These apps all take advantage of the Tesla API.
I've set up numerous automatons with these such as auto setting the climate before I leave work so that my car is heated up or cooled down based on the weather. Now with V10, I've made it work with the defroster for the winter!
I also have it auto shut off my charging if I am at home at 11am and it's currently plugged in on a weekday. This is because my electricity rates are higher between 11am and 7pm. This is great for days when I work from home, am sick, or it's a holiday.
I've got more. Let me know if there is interest, I can post more info.
An app itself can override rotation lock. If the app - like MFP - does not do this or does not offer the option, you need Tasker or a similar app.
Here is what I do.
Download Tasker; This app is a power house of automation for your Android phone. This can be a scary app to get into, but it allows you to do a ton of stuff with your phone. > The app works like this. You setup certain scenarios and assign tasks to them. So the idea is
Open the App
On the Profiles screen click on the "+" button in the middle.
Then you need to select the context, which will be "Application".
Select Summoners War from the list. Once selected click on the Tasker Gear in the top left.
Click on "New Task"
Name Task "Screen Off" or something like that.
Click on "+"
Now select "Display" from the Action Category
Select "Display Timeout"
Select a time frame for the display to turn off. So I would select 5-10 minutes just depending on your preference. Once selected click on the Tasker Gear in the top left. >This action it will override the system default for timeout
Click the Tasker Gear in the top left
Edit: This may or may not work for your phone. It won't hurt to try.
With your social media apps, have a look for some alternative apps that are often better than the original (i.e. swipe instead of facebook's app etc).
If you are interested in doing some dev work but have no experience, get an app called tasker, head over to /r/tasker and have a poke around. It is a fantastic app which allows you to program without writing/learning stacks of code/api's etc. There are also a whole bunch of plugins to extend the functionality of it which is where tasker really shines. There is a bunch of plugins created by /u/joaomgcd who is active on here and an all round fantastic developer/human!
Also take some time and play around with the customisation aspect of android. Custom launchers and icon packs to change the look and feel of your screen, widgets galore to give you info you want.
Overall, just have fun with it and don't be afraid to try a whole bunch of different apps that do the same thing, at the end of the day, what is the best for one person might not be the best for another.
Welcome to the android ecosystem - It's not a choice, it's a lifestyle!
It's an automation app which you can configure to your heart's content. I use it to * silence my phone when different criteria (display face down, specific calendar entries, certain apps are running) are met * start PowerAmp when connected to very specific BT devices * read my WhatsApp notifications when connected to specific BT devices * save my working hours to a Google sheets document * show buttons in the NavBar to skip songs when PowerAmp is running
The app costs 3 € and has a steep learning curve but it's soooo worth it!
Answer small surveys to get free money for apps. I use it since about 5 years ago, never noticed any spam or whatever in my Google Account.
If you really want that feature, look at Tasker. It's an automation app which let's your phone react to a wide array of conditions.
As a matter of fact, I have that Flip to Shhh feature since several years ago...
It's a single action, there isn't much to creating it.
Edit: moved a parenthesis.
If you're on Android and want the convenience of this, Tasker is a great little app that allows you to set up rules for your phone; in this case, switch off your Wifi when you leave your house and turn it back on when you return. It can take a little while to learn, but it's absolutely worth your money.
Fellow Android user here that has also owned three iPhones over the years. My biggest problem with iOS was that apps like Dropbox, Google Photos, and Pocket Cast wouldn't function using background data in iOS whereas in Android, they upload and fetch things without having to open the app and wait around for things to get done.
I like iOS, but I just prefer Android. It's not even so much the customization for aesthetic reasons as much as it is the customization for function (like Tasker).
Just my two cents. But the iPhone 7 sure is a beautiful phone. I had been asking for them to make a jet black version because I missed the blackness of the iPhone 5. I'm currently a Nexus 6P owner though and if I'm sticking to Android, it'll be Nexus (or Pixel) from here on out. Nexus is smooth and buttery, too. I think when manufacturers add their crap on top of Android, it slows things down.
Pure or bust.
I use Tasker to keep the rotation locked the majority of the time, but unlocked when in an app where it's useful (Youtube, Camera, etc).
Yes, I just got this working on Android.
Save everything and you should be good to go.
My advice:
Download, install and get to know 'Tasker':
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_GB
I'm no Tasker expert, but I bet it would be a case of leaving everything as you currently have it BUT set up a tasker task so that when you press answer to answer a phone call, your media player would play your chosen music file through the phone's speaker. I'm not sure if Tasker would be able to further control what happens after that but it's a start!
Tasker can literally do anything. One of my more obscure use cases for it is that I get it to analyze the brightness of on-screen content and adjust the blue light filter accordingly.
It also created that reddit-formatted hyperlink for me.
Another user uses it to analyze his/her calendar and the events location to calculate transit time and set his/her alarm.
I also use it to silence my phone when I unplug my headphones at work.
Edit:
I also use it to remove all of my quick settings tiles except for Bluetooth when my phone is locked. (This should only work on Android 8.1+).
If you don't mind a bit of "programming", Tasker should be able to achieve what you want.
A simple profile that disables screen timeout when app/s of your choice are open should do the job.
Hell yeah, gotta know a tiny bit about HTML and download Tasker, but yeah it's fucking beautiful!
Hmm, interesting...
If you want to make a "company wide" profile, all the employees has to have Android (obviously). Everyone doesn't need to have <strong>Tasker</strong> though since if you only use actions built in, you can use App Factory to export the task as a seperate app.
I'll think about this though :-}
It is. I use my phone a lot so it may just come in handy! I don't get a ton of calls but I use it for everything else, almost, since I don't like doing non-work related things on my work laptop. The phone just sits around when I'm at home and on my computer, though!
Get the S6. I was an iPhone guy since the original. I had the iphone, the iphone 3g, the iphone 4, iphone 4s, and the iphone 5s. The reason I kept the iphone around was I using the apple eocsystem (macbook pro, apple tv, mac pro, and icloud.) I got a new job and returned had to return the mac pro I was using. I decided to build a new pc instead of buying another mac. I now use Gmail, Kodi, and hangouts instead of their apple counterparts. Forward your icloud email to a gmail account. Export your contacts from icloud and import them to gmail. Use google photos instead of icloud photos. Almost every ios app is avaliable on the google play store for android. I have don't have any issues with crashing. Iphone apps crash just as much as android. There is a bit of a learning curve making the switch. You have to learn where the settings are on android vs where they were on ios, but you can do a lot more on android. You can customize almost everything to suit your needs. Using Tasker to automate things is awesome. I also love the multitasking, back, and home button on the s6. The only reason I'd say not to get an android phone is if you're the kinda of person that doesn't like to tinker with stuff. If you want an out of the box thing you're used to go with the iphone 6. They've finally polished android where it's it's just as good as iOS and you can add your own custom bells and whistles. I didn't lose anything going from iOS, but I gained a few cool things.
Android is the operating system
A computer needs an OS, there's no way around that
What you could do is use some automation program such as Tasker and just create a script that starts RetroArch on start
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
You could also use Nova Launcher to "clean up" the UI and make it more minimal
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
It is doable, I just haven't done it myself. Start here and find away to trigger frunk open command in an app after reading a specific NFC tag: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_CA
Concerning apps? Look at Tasker!
It's an automation app. It let's your phone do stuff when certain criteria are met. The learning curve is steep but it's so worth it!
Things I use Tasker for: * silence the phone when put display down * silence the phone when there's an entry in one of my calendars with specific keywords * start PowerAmp (music app) when connected to certain Bluetooth devices * read my WhatsApp messages when connectec to my Bluetooth headset * enter my working times into a Google Docs sheet * backup the Tasker configuration to DropBox * show buttons in the NavBar to skip songs when PowerAmp is playing
Best 2,99 I ever spent! Though... I never even spent that money. Go get Google Opinion Rewards. It will ask you to fill out very small surveys from time to time. Each survey gives you some cents to spend on Google Play. I never paid real money there... Yes, I know this is Google asking for more details concerning myself
One thing about Waze is that you should have it running all the time when in the car, even when not explicitly navigating, so that it still can record your speed for the traffic conditions. Just because you arrived at your programmed destination doesn't mean you have stopped driving and Waze can't know that, so it stays active and that's why you need to turn it off.
If you happen to use a Bluetooth connection in your car, what you can do is use a automation app (such as Tasker or Automate) to turn off Waze when the Bluetooth connection is dropped.
Check out Tasker
You can set all sorts of automated things through it, including special settings when it connects to your car's bluetooth. You can also just set things based on time of day, or location, or combinations of them.
On the volume vibrate thing I use tasker as a work around
I don't think I have hit volume down\volume up while trying to hit power or vice versa so I have no clue what to tell you on that one
3.The gps is a bit slow it takes around 30 seconds to locate me sometimes (if that sounds about like what you are experiencing then its probably normal)
Also here is a link to tasker
The same thing is happening to me as well (Samsung S5). I've decided to not even bother with the in game battery saver option since it keeps freezing the game.
I do have a temporary work around though, but it requres Tasker (if you have it). I made a task where everytime my phone is oriented in a certain (upside down, left and right side, and face down) tasker will basically put up a black screen over my phone. My phone hasn't frozen since I've been using this.
I don't think there is a free version of tasker. I think it goes into a 30 day trial or something.
This is tasker. If this is not what you got, you did not get tasker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
While you're diving in, you should add Tasker integration! The dev has released a lot of docs on how to do so.
Being able to automate tweets would be pretty awesome.
IFTTT was really great for me until they started pricing. I know it's not much and they gave a lot flexible pricing for existing members but I couldn't pay right now.
If you are familiar with with programming I would suggest Tasker It can literally do anything you can think of automating on your phone.
If you are on android you can use Tasker to lower the brightness automatically before you wake up.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
>iOS shortcuts is easy to use and very powerful. I use a couple on daily basis and don’t know if Android has an alternative without a root?
Mostly yes. Automation applications like Tasker and Automate allow you to write similar scripts, and you have access to better flow control, more system settings, raw UI input emulation, among other things. However, since those apps are from 3rd parties and limited by 3rd party API access, some things that are easy to implement by the OS dev are still missing unless you have root. Cellular data switching requires hacky solutions until Android Pie for example. If you need specific shortcut features from existing iOS apps, you may or may not find an Android counterpart.
Note that those Android automation apps are designed for automatically triggering operations in the background without user input. You can set them to do something on a click if you want to, but automation is where the fun is at.
Profile: Time Context: Every 2 Minutes
Task: Beep (Go to Alert > Beep > Configure your settings, fairly simple)
You can also include vibration or some flash text.
Use root-only apps (firewall, backups, etc.)
Perform extra tasks in Tasker
Install custom ROMs if that's your thing
Access to the entire filesystem
Several other fine-tuning aspects of your phone
I've been having Tasker dial *3282# at 06:30 daily for a long time now. At first I was going to load it into a .csv file and just monitor it via Google Sheets but I figured let's add it into HASS.
Tasker dials *3282#, waits 30 seconds, copies the SMS contents onto the clipboard, then runs a python script via QPython3.
Regex queries are run over the message contents against a dictionary of users/number suffixes. Then the data is dumped into JSON formatted strings and POSTed to my HASS instance.
Next I'll be working on automated Emails or Push Messages to family members who exceed limits.
Sure, it's a little hacky but I can program in Python already. Once I work out a few kinks and sanitize the code I'll be posting the code to GitHub.
Tasker has by far the largest user base with plenty of support forums (shout-out to /r/tasker), plug-ins, etc. The learning curve can be steep, but it's worth it IMO.
Automate is another good one if you're looking for a more intuitive, flow chart like UI. I actually found it more difficult to use than Tasker, but that might simply be a question of habit.
Big fan of Tasker myself. It's not something I tinker with every day, but it's something that is used every day to automate parts of my life.
When I wake up in the morning and pull my phone off the charger, it pulls up Haystack (a news app), starts casting it to my Chromecast, which turns on my TV. All I do is unplug my phone, and my TV starts playing recent news items via Haystack/youtube.
When I plug in my headphones, a menu prompts me to listen to choose either podcasts or music. If I choose podcasts, it launches PocketCasts, rewinds whatever episode was playing by 20 seconds, and then resumes.
When the wrong PIN is used when attempting to unlock the phone, it snaps a picture from the front camera, updates my GPS, and then e-mails me the picture and a Google Maps location of the phone. (No, I've never needed to use this, but I'm glad to have it in the event my phone is stolen).
When I launch Hearthstone, play volume is automatically set to 25%. For those of you unaware, the Innkeeper likes to yell really loud greetings at you when you first start the game up, which I'd prefer didn't happen at work.
Speaking of work, whenever my phone enters a roughly 1 mile radius of my work location, various volumes are set to predetermined levels, and when I leave they are returned to not-work levels.
If I'm in the middle of a call but need to use my hands for something, setting my phone down on the table automatically turns on speakerphone, and picking it up turns it off.
When I end a call with an unknown contact, I'm prompted if I would like to add them as a contact.
When headphones are plugged in texts are read aloud to me.
There's a shitton more you can do with Tasker, what I'm doing only scratches the surface. Check out /r/tasker if you're interested in more.
Congrats! If you're considering adding other types of pre-configured actions, Tasker may be a good source of inspiration: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
It's one of the more popular Android Wear apps, and I don't know of an equivalent for Apple Watch so far, so I think there's an unfulfilled need. Pre-configuring really common actions seems like an ideal use-case for a device like the Watch.
Are you running Android? If so, Tasker might have something you can trigger on. If you get a car dock (that is detected by your phone as such), you can use Tasker to enable BT when you dock your phone. Another option might be NFC tags with apps like Trigger.
Finally, is there any particular reason you don't just leave bluetooth on? It shouldn't drain much battery just being enabled.
If you're a little bit tech savvy, Tasker is a fantastic app for automating tasks. I currently have profiles that:
Turn on my wifi when I get to work (And turns it off when I leave)
Mute my phone if it's between 8:30 and 18:00 and I'm at work (And unmutes when I leave/go outside the hours)
Turn on my wifi when I get hom e(And turns it off when I leave)
Mute my phone if it's between 22:30 and 6:30 and I'm at home(And unmutes when I leave/go outside the hours)
You can do pretty much anything on your phone. I personally like the passive location data to control audio and wifi, as seen above, but you can do way more powerful things like automatically text your girlfriend and order pizza if you're running late ;)
It's freaking awesome.
Looks that way... I think I remember them being comparable at some point in their respective development histories.
Anyway, for the lazy:
And, while I'm at it: Llama - Location Profiles handles one part of Tasker's feature set, but for the very agreeable price of $0.
Ho da poco comprato l'app Tasker e la consiglio tantissimo: ha una marea di potenzialità soprattutto se combinata con i vari plugin che trovi sullo Store. Mi ci sto proprio sballando. L'unica cosa che bisogna sapere è che la curva di apprendimento all'inizio è quasi verticale e bisogna cercare di fare le cose con calma a partire da task semplici.
It's not so much the emails being sent by them that bothered me, but it was the fact that when I attempted to unsubscribe from the list, I was required to sign in. First world problems.
For completely unrelated reasons, I started using Tasker instead, and haven't looked back.
Tasker is what you're looking for :)
I actually just have a smartwatch so my phone notification sounds are always disabled. Just have to remember to put the watch in theatre mode if I'm not wearing a jacket.
I do this with Tasker. You can even do this on your phone and make a profile for each person and export them as apps and send it to them.
It's actually pretty easy to do and setup. Just depends on the specific features you want. My setup is that if someone sends me "#SAY words" my phone will say "words". Or if I receive a lot of SMSs then it will make my phone ring.
By default the Pixel has a notification light that IS NOT enabled. To enable it => settings => apps & notifications => notifications => "blink" (I guess that's something like that in english).
For the apps, I suggest Tasker , which you can configure to automate things. (For example, during night time, it automatically switches to Do Not Disturb and disables key vibrations, or it automatically unlock the rotation of the phone when I open the photos app, etc....)
I would suggest you to try out Nova launcher, but if you're coming from IOS, the default launcher (which handles your homescreen / app list) won't be disturbing to you
You can use a combination of Tasker and a MQTT publisher plugin. I use this to turn off lights when I start sleep tracking, but you can use it for any other kind of trigger that tasker has available.
Missed your other question. Lux lite is what redshift is (another commenter noted that redshift is on droid too), but for android. Theres tons of different variants, but i chose lux lite since it integrates with Tasker (which can interface with a number of 3rd party apps)
Heres the links for them:
You can do it using Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
You can also probably do it by using IF: (but I'm not 100% sure because I've never used it) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ifttt.ifttt
You just create a recipe that customizes when you want the WiFi on/off. For example, WiFi Off when opening an app or keeping WiFi on from 8AM to 9PM and then turning if off at night.
But if this is to save battery life, your N7 2013 should already have Marshmallow 6.0.1 and Doze should do a better job at saving battery life.
Nope, Tasker doesn't require root at all. Just works out of the box.
You can see a list of stuff it can do on the Play Store page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I understand that jailbroken iOS offers many of the features that Android offers, but whole point here is that Android does this stuff without needing root access or anything like that. I much prefer iOS and would never switch back, but there's some stuff Android just plain does better -- and automation is definitely one of them.
EDIT : Completely forgot about Greenify.
I think that Tasker would be the easiest solution to your problem. It can control when your apps open or close based on what cell tower you are connected to, time of day, wifi connectivity, amongst many other variables.
It is a very powerful application, and difficult to learn. Once you do though, you'll never believe the level of automation allowed.
/r/tasker
I think it depends on your budget and what your SO wants to do with the phone. iOS (compared to Android) is a 'closed' system. There is not much you can change about its appearance and apps like Tasker or Nova Launcher don't exist. iOS pretty much comes 'as is' and has a 'straight forward' UI. That makes it a good system for people who are not tech savvy or simply don't want to modify the looks or functionality of their device.
Android, on the other hand, is an open OS which allows the user to modify a lot of its functionality and looks (e.g. Taker, Nova). Android also runs on a lot of different devices, produced by a lot of different manufacturers. That means the system comes in a lot of different flavours with all their own pros and cons.
TL;DR: It depends on what you want to do with the phone. I'ld recommend you to look into a Nexus 5 or Nexus 6 if you want the openness and easiness of Android. If you don't want an open system and don't want to thinker a lot, get an iPhone.
Edit: Spelling
Most G3 specific answers were already said, so here's a general Android app you can find in the Play Store: Tasker.
It allows the user to create unlimited tasks to perform when a certain action is taken. For example, when I connect to my home network, I set it to turn on Bluetooth, turn up volume, and more. Then, when I exit the network it reverses it.
There are plenty more options than just that, as that is very simple.
Another example of what I use Tasker for most is screen rotation lock. If I go to YouTube, camera, or Netflix, it turns on screen rotation. When I leave those apps, it reverses.
Check it out, it's definitely worth the money.
Tasker can do this - and a lot lot lot lot more.
If you're not into programming, it might be too confusing. I don't recall Llama doing schedules but if b49 says so you should try that first.
I had the same concern when the lollipop update came out. The only solution I could think of was using Toggle Network Type 5.0 and Tasker. I've made a tasker profile which shifts the network to 2G when the screen is off and to 3G when I open certain apps. (Basically similar functionality to that of intelli3G)
For automation you can install Tasker on any phone.
It's hard to recommend phones these days because there are a lot of chinese brands with ethical issues(you're sponsoring the CCP's atrocities if you buy Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi, Oppo/OnePlus, Lenovo/Motorola, or any other 100% Chinese device) so you're left with Samsung(crappy UI) and Nokia. I'd probably buy a Nokia since their devices come with stock Android, which looks nice, runs well and frequently gets updates. Samsung is also an option if you can deal with the bad UI or are willing to root and install custom ROMs like LineageOS. Google's Pixel lineup is also worth a look, tho they are overpriced.
You want to leave the flashlight on for 8 hours straight?
Tasker has flash / torch actions which work on an S21. It's very device specific so you'll have to try it out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Yes, but I will argue that your phone's internal storage is MUCH more reliable than any external SD card (not considering physical destruction here). I've had plenty of Micro SD cards fail throughout the years - I've never once had an internal memory of any phone fail on me.
You can automatically move the images using Tasker BTW, just set a periodic task that moves the files from local storage to the micro SD card, it'll do it in the background when the phone's in your pocket and you wouldn't have to worry about it at all. Tasker is a paid app, I know, but it's worth it IMO, fairly complex though, certainly not for everyone (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm).
This can easily be solved with tasker.
​
The tasker profile that disables auto face unlock while charging.
Could Tasker accomplish what you need? Not sure which plugin would do it or if it can be done with the basic app.
There are guides on that for Tasker - an awesome app that can do a lot more as well. Here's an example, although you should probably find a more recent guide.
Not the only reason, but one of the main reasons is access control is too limited on iPhones.
That means you can't use Tasker on an iPhone.
Should be able to do this with Tasker.
It has a "state" trigger of incoming call. Give it access to your contacts, then make an If statement, if number <> in contacts, End call.
Requires some setup, but this way you won't be sending your info to a shady third party.
grab the Tasker app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
add a new profile, choose Application, then your Camera app, then go back
choose to add a new task, give it a name
tap + to add a new action to the task, search for "do not disturb" and tap it
default mode is "none" which is probably what you want
hit back to save
Tasker é um aplicativo pra android que permite você automatizar basicamente tudo do celular.
Complicado explicar rápido, mas é possível fazer o que o /u/Klein-Bottle disse ali: Você configura o Tasker pra quando você abrir o Whatsapp e não estive com fone de ouvido conectado, abaixar o volume da mídia, por exemplo.
Comecei a usar semana passada e, até o momento estou com 3 "profiles":
Quando abrir a câmera, automaticamente aumentar o brilho da tela pra 100%.
Abaixar o volume do celular quando abrir alguns aplicativos e
Ativar a rotação automática quando abrir o YouTube/Netflix/Google Photos
e: word
You might find tasker useful. There are plenty of guides on YouTube for how to set it up (I'd help you out more and talk you through it but I don't have an android phone at the moment and I can't remember the steps).
Note: I'm not guaranteeing that it will work, but given the problem you outlined it would be my first consideration. My theory is that you could program a script that tapped for you if you were to input a command (like pressing volume up/down or something like that).
Good luck!
/r/tasker
Gets a bit technical but it is very versatile, but it's exactly what you're looking for. I.e. - walk into your house, detects home wifi or location and automatically takes your phone off vibrate mode.
I use Tasker for this. As soon as my phone connects to my car's bluetooth it disables WiFi, starts Waze, turns the phone's volume to max (although Bluetooth audio settings are apparently separate from system volume, but that's a different topic), and then starts playing my podcasts.
This is better suited for Tasker if you're on Android. IFTT is not suited for IF/AND conditions.
Any reason you can't just set a regular alarm that says "Leave for the bus in 2 minutes!" ?
Um, if you have Android 5 or 6 then you have this feature integrated, its called smartlock and has an option to choose safe locations where security will be disabled until you leave. I understand its not exactly what you are sking for, it "unlocks" on location not wifi but it works the same pretty much.
Otherwise if you can set up Tasker to work, you can program it to do exactly what you want.
Rooting shouldn't be too complicated with SGS5, depending on the software and carier you've got on it, one click root using towelroot should work. With root you can get what you're looking for many different ways.
NFC tags are a microchip with an antenna embedded in stickers or keychains. The antenna allows data on the chip to be read wirelessly - through "taps." The idea is you put the tags in specific places, tap your phone to the tag, and a pre-set task will run on your phone.
The tag can be programmed to automate some simple, tedious everyday things. Why? Because technology.
Some tags I have:
Work - tap to mute all sounds at work (so I don't get in trouble)
Wifi password - guests can just tap the on tag and automatically connect to my home wifi
Night/sleep - tap at night to mute notifications and set screen brightness to 25%, tap again in the morning to unmute and put brightness back to 50%
Car - one tap to turn up notification and media volume, tap again to turn it down. It also adjusts screen brightness depending on the time of day.
Kitchen - I have a tag by the oven that just opens the clock app. I use it when I need to set an alarm or start a timer.
There's lots of other uses that exist to save you a few seconds of your time. Combine NFC with Tasker and it opens up many more controls and more refined conditions (like brightness based on time of day).
The cost of an NFC tag can range from from $.50 to $3 depending on the specific type of tag and the design (waterproof, larger memory, etc.) The extra Compass tickets just let me put duplicate tags in more places.
On my device it handles (among other things) file transfers, backups, connectivity automation, weather updates, photo geotagging, security measures, todo lists, location history, quick launching, blue light filtering, notification handling, activity tracking, clipboard syncing, remote controlled task launching, photo EXIF-data manipulation, location sharing, URL shortening, screen recording, on-the-fly translation, and so on and so forth.
So pretty essential!
I would suggest you to take a look at Tasker.
This is a much easier way to accomplish what you have in mind and it's cheaper, if you buy a pi just for this purpose.
The way you want it to do is much more complicated.
It would look like this:
Since you can't just send a code to the phone and say "hey dude, please turn on bluetooth now!" you need a program that CAN do it. I don't know if Tasker is even able to process this signal.
My knowledge is way to limited for a project like this, so anyone please feel free to correct me.
If you want to do it as a fun project to get more knowledge about programming and so on, there may be a way. But if you really want it just for controlling your bluetooth, do it in another way.
Cheers!
The first thing that comes to mind is Multi Timer. Create a timer for 59 minutes and be sure to start it at the start of class. You can set it up to 99 minutes if the class is longer. Of course, this has the disadvantage of requiring a manual activation every time.
If you have Tasker, you can create a notification based on calendar events. Just make sure Pebble will send Tasker notifications (if you've restricted which app notifications you want sent to the watch).
Actually, if you don't already have Tasker, I'd highly recommend it.
Idk if android has it inbuilt but you can try using tasker
Note: Reddit Link refer to this one for details
If you already have this setup, then it's super easy to automate this with Termux Task and Tasker.
If setting up phone automation sounds like something that interests you, then I'd give Tasker a look. It has a little bit of a learning curve and it takes some time and creativity to set up, but it's one of the most powerful and versatile apps out there.
Some examples of things I've set up Tasker to do for me
I've been using Tasker to do this on every Android phone I've had going back probably 7 years. Hands down the best Android app and well worth the money (i paid twice actually).
Some profiles I use:
The things you can do with Tasker seem limitless.
Tasker might be able to do that. Haven't tried it myself though. You can try it for free for 7 days if downloading from it's website.
Great work so far! How do you see Mocha being differentiated from apps like Tasker which have powerful logic engines and a wide variety of plugins including connections for popular home automation platforms?
Tasker and Auto Notification could be useful here. As far as I know, Google maps creates a notification when navigating that contains the ETA and destination. You could use a Tasker profile with Auto Notification to get the info and send it to your server.
Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Auto Notification: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification
Hmmm, might be a good application for Tasker and the AutoInput plug in. Tapping the tag you can have open the app and then with Autoinput could enter in username and password, assuming the security of the app's login doesn't prevent auto fill in methods from other apps.
You don't need to install AutoTools to buy Tasker, not even AutoApps.
Tasker should be an outright purchase from Play. For João's plugs, AutoApps is needed to make purchases of said plugs.
You can do that with Tasker. It's an automation app for Android phones and can do almost anything. It has a very steep learning curve but is sooo worth it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_GB
Awesome app, extremely powerful and highly recommended if you are into making your life easier for a bit of learning up front.
Try Tasker! It should be completely possible to program that.
Current Tasker scripts on Android:
Leave home: Wi-fi turns off
Arrive at work: Set phone to vibrate and text wife "Safe at office"
Leave work: Set notification volume back to normal
Arrive at home: Wi-fi turns on, text wife "Safe at home"
At 9PM on work nights: Turn on Do-Not-Disturb
Custom volume levels for different Bluetooth devices
Edit: Added link.
Edit2: I'm turning the wifi on/off on my phone, not the house's router.
Edit3: How to do the first 4 items minus the texting parts:
General Info: Tasker has 2 main features that control automated actions. PROFILES and TASKS. Profiles are a set of conditions that trigger tasks (either when a profile is activated, or deactivated, or both). Tasks, are just that: tasks. They can be a simple action (e.g. turn off wifi). Or they can be complex (e.g. Turn on Wifi, check for network, wait 5 seconds, send a text message, set a variable value, turn off wifi). The below is a set of simple profiles/tasks that will get you into the swing of things.
1) Go to the Tasks tab, and create the following tasks (Click the "+" to create new tasks)
"Wi-Fi on": Net -> WiFi: SET = ON
"Wi-Fi off": Net -> WiFi: SET = OFF
"Vibrate On": Audio -> Vibrate Mode: SET = VIBRATE
"Vibrate Off": Audio -> Vibrate Mode: SET = Off
Create the Profile @Home.
2A) Go to the Profile tab. Click the "+" to create a new one.
2B) Click "Location"
2C) Click "New Location"
2D) Move map and long press to place pin on your home.
2E) Set radius to approx 500M (you can reduce this size later if you want), and deselect GPS
2F) Click the back arrow at the top, and type a name for the location, like "Home"
2G) Click the "Wi-Fi on" task we created earlier
2H) Long press on the new little Green arrow you see, and click "Add Exit Task" on the popup menu
2I) Click the "Wi-Fi Off" task we created earlier
Create the Profile @Work
3A) In Google Calendar, create a reoccurring 'appointment' for when you're in your office. Call it ~"At Work"
3B) Go to Profile tab. Click the "+" to create a new one
3C) Click "State"
3D) Click "App"
3E) Click "Calendar Entry"
3F) Under Title, type the name you set your work appointment at work (~"At Work")
3G) Click the back arrow at the top
3H) Click the "Vibrate On" task we created earlier
3I) Long press on the new little Green arrow you see, and click "Add Exit Task" on the popup menu
3J) Click the "Vibrate Off" task we created earlier
You can rename profiles by long clicking the title, and clicking the "A" at the top of the page.
Your choices in phone hardware are virtually limitless with Android. Screen sizes between 3.5" and 6", resolutions up to 2560x1440, you frequently see internal storage of 32gb and up (often expandable), removable/replaceable batteries are common, dual SIM options... Even stuff you don't think of, like button and headphone jack placement; if you don't think one is comfortable, find another. The ability to charge easily with any of your friends' smartphone chargers due to hardware standardization (mentioned in another top comment) is awesome.
OS customization to an almost intimidating level. Background wallpapers, widgets (mentioned in another top comment), reordering and hiding apps from your app drawer, reordering soft system buttons, reassigning physical hardware button functionality, various phone security methods, notification bar customization...
The Play Store is loaded. It has the highest number of free apps of any smartphone app store. I use mine to check my bank balance and transfer money, I use it to remote access my home server from work or remote access a friend's PC for support, I surf Reddit comfortably, I order and pay for food, I watch Netflix and HBO on it or use it as a universal remote at home, I play Trivia Crack and browse Facebook (even at the same time due to my ability to split-screen). It's my GPS, too.
I can use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to use my phone like a laptop. Hell, I wrote this whole post on my phone.
And the best reason to use Android is my favorite app of all time: Tasker. Do anything using what are essentially "If/Then" statements; automate the whole thing as much or as little as you want. "If it's Wednesday and my calendar says I'm at work, turn on wifi and turn on bluetooth unless it's between 12p and 1p" (for example).
I love the Android OS. Do anything you want, essentially. I'm never switching.
EDIT: Linked Tasker as requested, corrected some minor typos, and fixed the 6 foot phone slip. My bad.
Tasker!
Here's my list of some of the more interesting things that I'm using Tasker for:
Add calendar events with NLP by typing into a single text field which it processes and adds to my calendar.
Do stuff when my phone is unlocked with different fingerprints, when my GF unlocks my phone it changes the launcher and shows the navbar. Link
Receive notifications when a new Reddit post matches keywords. Link
Input a custom template with my wakeup time, app usage stats, and location for my Journal app.
Monitor the brightness of on-screen content. Link
Easily link to an apps playstore page on Reddit. Link.
Basically an entire reminder system (in alpha). Link
Incredibly fine control of notifications.
Snoozing notifications automatically until 6 PM for specific apps. Link
A persistent notification that I can take notes on.
Changes keyboards in different apps.
Pause podcasts before they end at night or when I fall asleep. Link
Backup alarms.
Log data to Google Sheets.
When my phone is locked the only visible quick tile becomes Bluetooth.
Transcribe last received WhatsApp voice message. Link
Pop up (overlay) dictionary. Link
Modify navbar buttons.
Convert app names to Play Store links and format them for Reddit. Link
Double tap the back of my phone to pause and play music.
A simple motion-based sleep detector profile. Link.
Saves my car's location when I disconnect from my car's bluetooth. Long pressing volume up opens the last location in Google maps. Don't use this often but it's insanely helpful when needed.
Routing audio from the main speaker to the phone-call speaker(identical to the WhatsApp feature) for when you forget your earbuds! Link.
Created my own version of the popular iOS app Drafts. Link.
Tasker automation app with ridiculous amounts of customization. not free
YAATA best text app I've ever tried
Xposed not really an app in itself, but framework for other apps that can add a lot of customization to your android.
Cerberus Root anti-theft. Can do all sorts of things most non-root anti-theft apps cannot, such as remotely turn on GPS tracking if a thief has turned off location. not free
GoneMAD Music Player great music player that you can customize to your liking. not free
yes, customization is very important to me in apps
edited to add stuff
I commented with a list of useful apps in another subreddit that are worthwhile checking out especially for new phone owners. Most of these are well known within the r/android community, but nonetheless amazing apps.

I have these Bluetooth headphones. They have a decently long battery life (last a whole work day usually), and charge pretty quickly. They have a roughly 30ft range depending on the line of sight, so I can do things like charge my phone while I'm cooking and move freely in the kitchen or to the pantry.
I also have this aftermarket Bluetooth connection for my car. Both have made my life so much more convenient.
In combination with those, I bought Tasker for my phone and made a music menu. So anytime I connect to my headphones or my car a little pop-up menu appears with all my music apps. I also use Tasker to silence my phone at night and for a few other cool things, it’s really convenient.
I also pay for a monthly subscription to Spotify, so I can listen to basically anything I want.
I have one of these tempered glass screen protectors. I’ve cracked two of them now and am fairly confident that they’ve prevented my phone screen from cracking.
And I have this ten foot long charging cable. I can lay in bed with my phone easily, or sit on the couch, computer, really anywhere without being limited by the cable length. Combining that with my Bluetooth headphones means I’m basically never limited by cables, it’s amazing.
NFC unlock via cheap nfc ring off eBay
Works while display is off (NFC polling stays on) & bypasses lockscreen while maintaining security (pin/password/pattern)
Video demo
in short, this mod is a gimmicky imitation of a fingerprint scanner on the back of the device like in the LG nexus 5x/ Huawei 6p - it wakes the phone and takes you to the home screen without having to make you put in your password/pin/pattern, etc -not a perfect mod but it's good for what I need

& a modded nfc apk to poll while screen off to go with the nfc LockScreenOff enabler:
How does it work? The Xposed module works only partially on Lollipop: it's not able to enable NFC with screen off/on lockscreen. Instead you have to use a modified Nfc.apk/NfcNci.apk to enable screen-off/lockscreen Nfc. The Xposed-mod still works for sending intents for NFC found/lost -> if you need that use modded-apk + Xposed module. Unlocking is not working properly. You'll have to use something like Tasker+ SecureSettings to capture the intents and unlock. Below information is regarding modded apks (I don't think the Xposed needs an further explanation)
*Find the correct nfc apk below for your device & replace the nfc apk in your /system/app/NfcNci with permission set to R W R R & reboot device. back up original nfc apk (always) *

My Device: oneplus one on Lollipop 5.1.1
battery stats:
too lazy to input my pin & wish I had a fingerprint scanner but my OPO runs great
The lighter green bar is the amount spent, the darker bar is the number of days of the month, so I can compare both.
Inner values is available amount and % spent.
Just wanted to share what I did to see what else is being done out there :)
Here is the Tasker profile XML, you can import it into your Tasker app.
You will need to setup 3 variables in tasker:
%YNAB_ACCESS_TOKEN
with your API access token, check the API documentation on how to get it%YNAB_BUDGET
with your budget ID, you can get it from the URL or through the API on /v1/budgets%YNAB_CATEGORY
with the category ID, you can get it through the API on /v1/budgets/BUDGET_ID/categoriesThe steps above will automatically update the Zooper Widget variables.
Sadly, I cannot export the widget because I have the free version of Zooper Widget and exporting is a paid feature, the best I can do is share this screenshot with the widget layers and hopefully you will be able to setup your own widget.
The Zooper Widget variables for you to use on your widget are:
#Tbudgeted#
- The amount budgeted on the category#Tactivity#
- The amount spent on the category#Tbalance#
- The current balance on the category#Tcolor#
- The color (red/green/yellow) for the progress bar#Tpercentage#
- The percentage spent of the category's budgetHopefully you guys can use the instructions above and create your own widgets :)
Edit: Instructions
I'm thinking this could be possible with some tasker fuckery. As long as I remember I will look into it and report back to you!
edit3: I now have a working task! Here are the basics of what it does:
Between these actions I have put in a Wait action and minimized them as much as I could so that the action only takes roughly 1.5 sec. Getting it to actually click stuff was pretty difficult, and I'm unsure wether it works correctly with different screen DPI.
I'll upload the XML file when I've found a good site to do it.
There are two versions, one which only changes the theme and one that, if the screen is off, unlocks the screen if possible and then runs the task.
Gboard Theme Change Lockscreen Version
Import it into tasker, and then set up two profiles at the times you want the theme to change. As an example I have one in the morning From 6am to 6am, and evening 9pm to 9pm. I put some quick guides down at the bottom.
Requirements
["You tell me!"](r/xdacirclejerk)
I left the profile setup to you. Setting up a Time profile in Tasker is relatively easy, much easier than downloading two more xml files and going through all of that again. It's also something you can Google pretty easily.
But really this could be set up to trigger however you like, when opening an app, going into a room, using a NFC tag/great code etc. Personally I'm having it set to change theme in the morning and in the evening, but it's all up to you. Don't be afraid of asking about Tasker though. I will answer you if I can, and we can figure it out together!
~~------------------------~~
~~Edit: I've gotten it to apply your~~ ~~most recent unapplied theme~~ ~~when I run a task, and then go home. I'm going to fine tune it to be able to run the task automatically since it breaks when gboard is still in recents. Should be pretty straight forward. I'll report back again when I'm done.~~
~~edit2: It now works pretty well and it even unlocks the screen if the lock screen is unsecured/using androids' Smart Lock feature. This is mainly for changing back to the light theme if you're not using the phone in the morning.~~
~~I've set it up in a way that it goes back to the screen you were on before the theme changes, in case it happens in the middle of you doing something.~~
Tasker: Endless automation of all settings and more.
Crashlands: Favorite offline game
Google Photos: The value here is unbelievable
Strava: Tracking my bike rides and commutes
Twilight: Screen color and brightness control for ease on eyes
Sleep as Android: Best alarm and sleep tracking app, no contest, even from iOS app store or otherwise.
Gravity Screen: Automatic screen on/off. Your phone feels genuinely smart again and saves your fingers/wrist/power button from fatigue.

Tasker | I didn't use Tasker for a long time, but /u/takkuso gave me some neat ideas. Now I have many annoyances fixed: I can start Sleep as Android tracking my sleep by pressing a button on my watch; Once the Sleep as Android app opens, airplane mode is automatically turned on, and Bluetooth and NFC turned back on; if my battery gets below 10%, Pushbullet sends a notification to all my devices and browser. Same thing once my phone is charged; if my phone connects to my car Bluetooth then it automatically turns off WiFi, and presents me with 4 huge buttons I can press to open Spotify, pocket casts, audible, or Google maps; I can then on my computer by bumping my phone against and NFC tag by my bed; with a nova gesture, I can shrink my screen area to be more convenient for one handed use. Other ideas still in progress! | tools, paid, basic |
Textra | Bought it solely to support the developer. I think the prime version gets rid of ads too. Great texting app, looks pretty with features and stuff. Since moved on to AwSMS, but still highly recommend this app. | paid |
Titanium Backup PRO | I think this was the first app I bought, not sure why. But Titanium Backup is the most useful app I ever bought. Backs up all my apps and data to my SD card, including contacts and texts. Definitely saved my butt more than a few times. | paid, root, basic, tools |
TuneIn Radio Pro | Got it on iOS, I think the only app that transferred my pro version to Android. I forgot the difference between pro and free, but this app is great during studying to listen to soundtrack radios and classical music. | paid |
TWoM | The PC version ported to android. A survival game in the midst of war, you try and make sure your household survives. | paid |
Unified Remote Full | A remote for everything. I use it to turn my computer on/off using my phone. It's not worth $3.99 yet, but hopefully it will after I come up with other uses. | paid |
Weather Timeline | Prettiest looking weather app with the prettiest clock and weather widgets. | paid, daily, basic |
Total: 40 apps. Made with List My Apps.
One app to rule them all: <strong>Tasker</strong>
AutoMagic, AutoMate, MacroDroid, and Tasker can do this. Here's the option in each, in the same order.
If you have android, it should be a simple task in Tasker.
So I just checked in Tasker with Secure Settings (which somehow works for me even though the internet says it doesn't, heh) and this definitely appears to be possible.
The apps you will need are:
You'll need to enable Secure Settings as a Device Administrator. Then in Secure Settings (through plugin -> secure settings in Tasker) you'd want to go to "Dev Admin Actions" then "Lock Device".
When a Device Administrator locks the screen, it requires a pin (or password - whatever security you have set up) to unlock it and says "Device Administrator locked device".
Testing it with my finger print and saying "okay google" both ask me for my Pin to open the phone. The one downside (easy to work around I think) is you'd have to use the method you set up to lock the device that way each time you want it to require a pin.
When I'm home I'll make a tutorial with pictures and whatnot if you like.
Also just want to pimp out /r/tasker as a great resource for tutorials and learning :)
Edit: As /u/the_V0RT3X pointed out, you don't need Secure Settings, you can simply use Display -> System lock in Tasker itself. Though you will also need to enable Takser as a Device Administrator. The rest is the same.
Tasker for comprehensive automation of tasks.
Ah, uite că aveam și eu ceva de postat aici, dar abia acum mi-am dat seama.
Cu Tasker și o chestie din asta mi-am făcut aerul condiționat să pornească automat dimineața la 6:45 dacă:
Telefonul e conectat la rețeaua WiFi de acasă (ca să nu-mi pornească și când sunt plecat pe la ai mei sau ceva)
Temperatura în cameră e de peste 28 de grade Celsius
Problema la mine e că garsoniera în care stau e orientată spre est așadar dimineața se face o căldură... vara pe la 7:30 deja e insuportabilă. Amuzant e că recent am făcut niște mici schimbări pe la infrastructură (folosesc un REST API ca să trimit comenzi de la Tasker la dispozitivul ăla, înainte API-ul rula pe telefon acum rulează pe un NAS) și uneori îmi vin niște cifre aberante la temperatură așadar acum vreo două zile mi-a pornit AC-ul dimineața de înghețam în cameră pe la 8, când m-am trezit. Tre' să verific dacă a luat-o razna senzorul ăla de temperatură sau e vreo eroare de conversie pe undeva.
Tot cu Tasker și un plugin pentru acesta am făcut să pot trimite comenzi vocale către dispozitivul ăla așadar pot să aprind luminile ca în filme spunând "Ok Google, turn on the lights". Nu intru aici în detalii, dar dacă cineva se aruncă la implementat chestii din astea să îmi dea un semn și îl ajut cu instrucțiuni.
edit:
> Tre' să verific dacă a luat-o razna senzorul ăla de temperatură sau e vreo eroare de conversie pe undeva.
shit, de fapt o ia razna senzorul :(
Yes, I can also use Tasker to run Linux shell commands on my servers. I use this to display incoming messages on my soundbridge VFD while at home:
I have an old HTC Desire that I installed an app called Tasker on:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en
That allows you to do event based "automation" of your phone. I use it to repeatedly (every 2 minutes) take a photo with the phone's camera an store it to the SD card of the phone with the date and time as part of the filename. The photos build up on the phone.
I then wrote a script that I run on my linux desktop (runs Debian) called copy_from_camera.sh:
#!/bin/bash
#Copy all images in tasker folder to local directory sshpass -p 'abcdef' scp -P 2222 :/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Tasker/* ./ && #Change permissions to allow editing chmod 777 ./* && #Remove all images in tasker folder on camera sshpass -p 'abcdef' ssh -p 2222 'rm /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Tasker/*'
This script uses a neat program called sshpass which allows you to feed a password to a scp command (copy from one unix machine to another) which copies all of the images from the phone to my desktop, for processing. It changes some permissions then using the same sshpass program I delete the photos off of the phone to save space. Since the pictures have the timestamp in the title, I sort a group for a gif into a subfolder. Like 1-18-2016-06-00.jpg thru 1-19-2016-05-58.jpg.
I then run this script with uses a command line utility "convert" available as part of the Imagemagick image editing tool. It lets you modify images from the command line and allows for some scripting. I crop to a usable part of the image (focus, glare from the flash), sharpen it, and resize it down. The real neato part was putting the timestamp on. It pulls the time of day out of the filename and draws it on there. So this script is run in the directory with all the images. When it's done, it creates a folder called "output" and puts the gif in there.
#!/bin/bash

Profile - A combination of Contexts (think triggers) and the actions that are performed.
Context/Trigger- When something happens (like you get an SMS from this contact containing this text), a profile becomes active. Can be an event (SMS), state (WiFi Conneced), day/time (only on Mondays @ noon) etc. Triggers can also be stacked (only activate if I get an SMS on Monday between 10am-2pm and Wifi is connected)
Action - A thing to do. Send an SMS, Turn off Wifi, Set Audio levels, etc. Actions are done in order. A list of actions is called a "task". Tasks do not need profiles - they can live standalone. You can run a task from a shortcut on the homescreen, while also having it run when the profile is active.
Variables - a "thing" that holds data. This data is usually a piece of text or a number or the like. Some variables are system controlled, like %TIMES (time in seconds since UNIX epoch), while some are user-controlled. System variables are not modifiable by the user, but you can copy a system variable into your own variable and do stuff with it. Tasker doesn't really have defined data types, I believe everything is a string. But you can still use <, >, =, !=. Arrays are supported too (though they are 1-based arrays)
A sample tasker profile emulating a "work profile" (like what OP is talking about):
Context = Connected to work WiFi, Day is Mon-Fri
Enter Task = Set Media Volume to 0, Set Ringer Volume to 2, Set Notification Volume to 1, Turn off Bluetooth
Exit Task = (will be run when the contexts becomes untrue/disconnects from wifi) Set Media Volume to 6, Ringer Volume to 15, Notification Volume to 15, Send SMS to [Spouse] saying "Leaving work @ %TIME" (this will insert the 24hour time into the text, like "Leaving work @ 17.45")
Tasker can become really interesting the more you use it. I use an old Android phone as my alarm (with Sleep as Android). That phone stays on my bed 24/7, so it doesn't know if I'm home or not. So at 10:45pm, I have it ping my main phone to see if I'm home. If I am, it will check to see if I have work the next day (checks my calendar, which I maintain manually) and if so, turn on my "Work" Alarm on Sleep as Android. If I'm not home, it will ping every 15 minutes to check. That way if I stay the night somewhere else (and it's unplanned), my alarm won't ring in the morning (bothering my roommates). Join us at /r/tasker!
Yup, requires Tasker and a plugin called AutoTools!
Edit: I'm no Tasker genius, but I literally bought it just so I could turn this shit off.
Edit 2 : here's the XDA article

I have written a script for Tasker to reply to WhatsApp messages (and to all apps where you can send replies from the notification) with predefined quick replies. I use the apps Tasker, Amazfit Tools and Notification Listener. If I double-click on the Amazfit Bip within 30 seconds of receiving a WhatsApp message, I get my possible quick responses sent, which I can then select and send within 30 seconds with the according number of clicks.
Apps used:
That's not an assistant but sounds like automation like Tasker, Automate, or MacroDroid. An assistant should display intelligence not requiring user knowledge of explicit commands, not be rigid in terms of processing language and interpreting your natural speech patterns into commands. Google Assistance shits all over Siri in this field. Requiring you setup a whole bunch of instructions in advance is a job for automation apps.
I use Tasker to do for me automatically.
I recently posted this in another thread, but I had to remove Pushbullet due to its new move to $40/yr....
Tasker - Automate practically anything. Some of the things I use it for include custom screen timeouts for certain apps, indicate which apps use portrait-only or auto-rotate, etc.
Google Authenticator - 2-factor authentication is a must for your Google account (at the very least).
LastPass - It's the standard for password managers for a reason. It's secure, reliable, and available everywhere. The app also works great with fingerprint (Imprint) on the 6p.
Reddit Is Fun - It's still the best Reddit client.
TickTick - I use this as my personal todo list app. It is cheaper than Todoist and Wunderlist, and it's more full-featured.
Pocket - Formerly called "Read it Later", it's a great way to save articles for reading...later.
Google Keep - I primarily use this for quick checklists. You can also share lists. My wife and I will create shared grocery lists and shopping lists for the kids.
CalenGoo - I've been using this for years, and still find it to be the best and most powerful calendar app for Android. There are more polished-looking apps, but nothing compares to this. The stock Calendar app is not sufficient for anyone who has a busy schedule.
Weather Timeline - The perfect weather app.
Pocket Casts - My favorite podcast player. Was previously a Doggcatcher fan, but Pocket Casts is a cleaner app that has everything I need.
Nova Launcher - Simple and powerful alternative to the default Google Now Launcher. Supports gestures.
Tasker, Nova Launcher Prime, Titanium Backup - needs root, relay for reddit pro
Cosmetic - widgets on my home screens - Sunrise calendar widget and Accuweather weather widget with Minutecast. I loathe the Pages O' Icons look.
Built in Moto X goodness - Active display -wave my hand over the screen and I see time and notifications, customized Moto Voice, set up to work even if my screen is off - so I can ask Google questions even if my phone is in my purse. This works amazingly well with the Moto Hint bluetooth headset as well. Siri doesn't even come close. Also, chop twice to bring up flashlight is enabled. That's a beautiful thing.
Nova Launcher - swipe up to toggle dock, swipe down with two fingers to toggle notification bar, double tap to bring up voice search (a nice alternative to Moto Voice in noisier environment) and of course, save/restore complete launcher config to Google Drive. So, remember how I said how I hate Pages o' Icons. Yeah, this is my Moto G's home screen. No icons save for the soft buttons. I love it. It confuses the hell out of my iOS using friends.
Automation - Tasker and some NFC tags (written with Trigger) , including my car key chain. Tasker is useful for automating tasks on your Android. I use it to bring up Google Camera whenever my Moto camera comes up since I prefer Google Camera more. So, now, when I do the "twist to bring up camera" move on Moto, Google Camera comes up instead of Moto Camera. NFC tags are fun. The one on my keychain brings up my parking space, I have one near my Roku that brings up the Roku app.
This one might be on iOS by now but it was great while it was an exclusive - Moto (and later Google's) Spotlight Stories. Awesome, 10-15 minute immersive movies. Hard to explain without seeing it. Imagine a movie made out of the same tech used to capture Google Street View.
[EDIT] Totally forgot the best Moto-ey stuff of all. I used Motomaker to customize my Moto X - white front, red back (monogrammed, of course), with red accents. All for $529 (now $499) off contract.
All of this is doable without rooting save for some of the fancier Cerberus tricks.

Apps used:
You can get Tasker to do some basic automation. I have a profile for playing SIF. It'll turn on auto-rotate, set my phone to Do Not Disturb, and even hide the navigation bar (with some plug-ins)! Then it'll revert everything back when I go back to home screen.
All of this shouldn't need root access either!
Let me know if you need some help setting up :)
Edit: Disable notifications while playing SIF + others with Tasker!
It's a bit intensive. So bear with me!
First you need some apps and files
Tasker is a really cool app that helps you automate a lot of things! In this instance, we will set it up to toggle Do Not Disturb/Priority mode, Auto-Rotation, and the Navigation bar while the game is running).
(One of many Tasker use threads.)
My XML files exported from Tasker so you can import my profile and tasks. You can simply download these.
Custom Navigation Bar is free and required to hide the Nav bar. (This part can be skipped. It adds a few more steps)
With all of those apps and files downloaded and/or installed...
Steps
>If you're interested in hiding the Navigation bar, follow these steps first. If not skip this section!
>- Open Custom Navigation Bar and make sure it's toggled ON - Press the Profiles option at the bottom - Press the + and name this profile "EnableNavBar". THE NAMES ARE IMPORTANT for Tasker to refer to - Toggle it to be Enabled - Turn on "Change immersive settings" - Make sure Hide status bar and Hide navbar are toggled off. - Create a new profile named HideNavBar - Turn on "Change immersive settings' - Turn on "Hide navbar"
My steps might be incomplete! I'm writing this off the top of my head. I haven't actually imported a task before and thought it'd be easier to do it this way instead of doing the steps to recreate the profile and tasks.
phew~~ this turned out wayyyy longer than I imagined ;;
Definitely Tasker. You can do so much more with it.

Tasker | I didn't use Tasker for a long time, but /u/takkuso gave me some neat ideas. Now I have many annoyances fixed: I can start Sleep as Android tracking my sleep by pressing a button on my watch; Once the Sleep as Android app opens, airplane mode is automatically turned on, and Bluetooth and NFC turned back on; if my battery gets below 10%, Pushbullet sends a notification to all my devices and browser. Same thing once my phone is charged; if my phone connects to my car Bluetooth then it automatically turns off WiFi, and presents me with 4 huge buttons I can press to open Spotify, pocket casts, audible, or Google maps; I can then on my computer by bumping my phone against and NFC tag by my bed; with a nova gesture, I can shrink my screen area to be more convenient for one handed use. Other ideas still in progress! | tools, paid, basic |
Textra | Bought it solely to support the developer. I think the prime version gets rid of ads too. Great texting app, looks pretty with features and stuff. Since moved on to AwSMS, but still highly recommend this app. | paid |
Titanium Backup PRO | I think this was the first app I bought, not sure why. But Titanium Backup is the most useful app I ever bought. Backs up all my apps and data to my SD card, including contacts and texts. Definitely saved my butt more than a few times. | paid, root, basic, tools |
TuneIn Radio Pro | Got it on iOS, I think the only app that transferred my pro version to Android. I forgot the difference between pro and free, but this app is great during studying to listen to soundtrack radios and classical music. | paid |
TWoM | The PC version ported to android. A survival game in the midst of war, you try and make sure your household survives. | paid |
Unified Remote Full | A remote for everything. I use it to turn my computer on/off using my phone. It's not worth $3.99 yet, but hopefully it will after I come up with other uses. | paid |
Weather Timeline | Prettiest looking weather app with the prettiest clock and weather widgets. | paid, daily, basic |

To potentially free up João from spending a lot of time updating the sorely outdated (e.g. MISC category) Play Store description for Tasker, I've taken the liberty of spending an hour or so on the fun exercise of scripting a parsing of datadef.xml (menu / More / Developer Options / Save Data Definitions) to create a ready-to-use description that can be pasted in with minor modifications when v5.7 is released. If there are relatively simple substitutions to be put in, I can probably add them. Admittedly, this post probably belongs more in /r/bash than here.
Sadly, I don't see anything in datadef.xml which indicates which commands require root (e.g. Dpad and Type) or which are platform-specific; if I've overlooked something, let me know.
The script:
#!/bin/bash # Tasker Play Store description, processed from datadef.xml
echo "**** Actions By Category ***" sed ' /REMOVED/ d /<action/ !d s/.*nameLocal=.(.). catNameLocal=.(.). arg./\2,\1/ ' < datadef.xml | sort | while IFS=',' read c n; do [[ $c != $cc ]] && echo -n " * ${c^^}:" echo -n ", $n" cc=$c done | sed 's/:,/:/ /SETTINGS/ s/ Settings//g s/Quick,/Quick Settings,/'
echo "
**** States **** "
# States somehow don't have catLocal in datadef.xml but are categorized in the context list. sed ' /<state/ !d s/.nameLocal=.(.). arg.*/\1/ ' < datadef.xml | sort | while IFS='' read n; do echo -n ", $n" done | sed 's/^, //'
echo "
**** Events **** "
# Sort events by category. sed ' /<event/ !d s/.nameLocal=.(.). catNameLocal=.(.). arg./\2,\1/ ' < datadef.xml | sort | while IFS=',' read c n; do echo -n ", $n" done | sed 's/^, //' echo " "
Note that the ${c^^}
capitalization can easily be substituted with a tr
command if your bash is somewhat old. There are a couple of oddities in the sorting: SMS Backup+, SleepBot; WIFI IP, WIFI (settings).
The output:
**** Actions By Category ****
**** States ****
Active User, Airplane Mode, Auto-Sync, BT Connected, BT Near, BT Status, Battery Level, Battery Temperature, Calendar Entry, Call, Cell Near, Custom Setting, Device Idle, Display Orientation, Display State, Docked, Dreaming, Ethernet Connect, HDMI Plugged, Headset Plugged, Heart Rate, Humidity, Keyboard Out, Light Level, Magnetic Field, Media Button, Missed Call, Mobile Network, NFC Status, Orientation, Pen Menu, Pen Out, Power, Power Save Mode, Pressure, Profile Active, Proximity Sensor, Signal Strength, Task Running, Temperature, USB Connected, Unread Text, VPN Connected, Variable Value, Wifi Connected, Wifi Near

Once things are a bit more finalized, I can add in the platform specifics.
Honestly it's basically cheating to mention it, but there's an app on android called Tasker which you can use to manage notifications with tons and tons of options if you put in the effort. You can even set it up to automatically turn off/on different filters to set up different schedules for when you want notifications or not. I think it could also be set up to read from your calendar and only allow notifications from certain people during certain events. Although you'd have to do a fair amount of work to set it up the first time, it has all the options you could dream of, but there's simpler solutions as well.
And there are other applications such as Notification Manager (I just picked this randomly, I have no experience with it but it's features sound like what you'd want) which allow for better management as well in a little more user-friendly ways although not as powerful (I'd imagine).
EDIT: Without any extra apps, this comment explains well all what you can do.
Here is Tasker. I highly recommend you look into it. Here's an intro for creating a Tasker plug-in for your app. And check here for some examples of apps that already have Tasker plug-ins.
I imagine setups where you could display text messages that you got on your actual phone to display on your mirror as well (by using AutoTasker to send messages from one device to another). Or Tasker could look up a Google Maps URL to parse how many minutes it would take to drive to work. There are To-Do List apps that integrate with Tasker. People that use those could even display their to-do list on your mirror, or perhaps a shopping list.
Integrating Tasker alone would open up more possibilities faster and likely a lot easier than you could do by yourself. I personally haven't created an app that integrates with Tasker, but there are so many out there that already do, I imagine it isn't too difficult.
Tasker - Automate practically anything. Some of the things I use it for include custom screen timeouts for certain apps, indicate which apps use portrait-only or auto-rotate, etc.
~~Pushbullet - While you can integrate this with Tasker or IFTTT to push custom notifications, I find it most useful for pushing content from Chrome to my phone, showing my phone notifications on my computers, and allowing me to SMS from my browser plugin.~~ EDIT: They just announced a move to $40/yr for this service, which is absurd.
Google Authenticator - 2-factor authentication is a must for your Google account (at the very least).
LastPass - It's the standard for password managers for a reason. It's secure, reliable, and available everywhere. The app also works great with fingerprint (Imprint) on the 6p.

Pocket Casts - My favorite podcast player. Was previously a Doggcatcher fan, but Pocket Casts is a cleaner app that has everything I need.
Nova Launcher - Simple and powerful alternative to the default Google Now Launcher. Supports gestures.
If you're on Android, you could try using Tasker (paid, but well worth it) and MyTimeline to send SMS details to your timeline when you receive a message - you could even have it filter based on certain contacts.
I've not tried this myself, though.
EDIT: Tested this now, and it works: I used Touchless Chat for the trigger event, as it captures from SMS, Hangouts, WhatsApp, and others, and can append the chat app to the pin. It takes a little time for your pins to update (it's not instant), but messages are definitely appearing on the timeline.
The downside is that people are right, it's really cluttered: It creates a pin for each individual message, even from only one contact.
Tasker - For all sorts of phone automation! Check us out at /r/Tasker.
Pocket - The other Pocket. This one is a password locker that's hosted in your own Dropbox account.
Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive - Pick your own cloud storage poison.
Flickr - 1T free. I use this to back up my photos.
BaconReader - For Reddit.
Waze - Make Waze your co-pilot.
Cerberus - Anti-theft service.
Google Authenticator - For 2FA.
Zooper Widgets - For nifty personalized widgets. Check out the possibilities at MyColorScreen. This integrates well with Tasker too.
Edit: links
I'm using Tasker to automatically set up call forwarding of my work SIM to Voicemal during non business times^1.
This allows me to:
^1 ... to be precise: I'm using an Android work profile and have Tasker react on the activation/deactivation of this work profile. As soon as the work profile is activated, the call forwarding to Voicemal is deactivated and automatic time recording with the app aTimelogger is started (two different profiles depending on whether I'm currently working from home or from the office). When the work profile is deactivated, time logging is stopped and call forwarding to Voicemal is started again.
If you want to get very technical, you can use Tasker to read the Torque log file and forward those to a variable read by the custom watch face app WatchMaker and make your own watch face to read the values from Tasker.
For anyone interested on how to setup this.
Enable WOL
Download Tasker, Mi Band Master(just discovered it) and WOL
...(Go to button actions, create new one and put "Send command to tasker" as action")Then on tasker you can check for it with "Received intent"(kind of) and with the code "mb2_tap*" * = number of taps
Profit
Those two let you do anything you want with the band. :)
If you're concerned about moving a safe or permanent damage to studs and such you could reinforce a closet door and install a locking door handle to it. It's not ideal but makes it way harder to break into while also being non-permanent. I'd recommend getting a steel door and replacing the closet door all together though since inside doors aren't usually made to be tough and a steel one won't be easy to kick through. The replacement door can have a deadbolt as well which is kind of important for the frame reenforcement part. Then you can just swap them out at the hinge and remove the reenforcements when you leave and put them in your next place. It'll also be way cheaper and size is only limited to the size of the closet.
If you're feeling fancy you could rig it to an electronic deadbolt and use your phone with something like tasker to send an unlock signal when you get home for keeping it available for home defense. Then have it auto lock when you leave so you never accidentally leave it unlocked. Or make your own L1, L2.
Edit: formatting; links; clarification
Edit 2: added instructions on making it wildly more complex
Here's what I do to easily find my phone.
Get Tasker (paid, and absolutely worth it), and PebbleTasker (also paid, I think, but worth it once you get good at using Tasker!), and install the app on your Pebble.
In Tasker, create a task called "Find Phone", and set it to increase your volumes to maximum, vibrate, and play an audio file. Set up PebbleTasker to add this task to its list.
Viola, you can now use PebbleTasker on your Pebble to remotely run the task whenever you like, so long as you're in Bluetooth range.
But what happens if your phone is stolen, and goes out of range? You can't run the task, right?
You could also create a profile to run the task whenever your Pebble disconnects, using the "Bluetooth Connected" state, selecting your Pebble address, and ticking "Invert" (meaning when it's not connected), then choosing the Find Phone task.
For an added bonus, you could also get it to periodically send someone a text with GPS coordinates, if you like - there are also apps out there to let Tasker automatically send an email. You could even add a "Location", and invert that, to stop it from happening if you get disconnected at home.
Google Fit uses Android's native activity detection to start tracking you when you are riding a bike. You can use this same system to start a strava ride (I do this).
You will need:
You will do:
This will be a good starting point. I've got a few other that work in tandem to avoid things like recording bus rides (seriously Strava? Auto pause doesn't work for bus or car rides?). Use this profile as an example.

I've fallen in love (well, it's been a bumpy love story, but I think we're now finally at a good place with one-another) with openHAB. You can connect anything to anything. The community is helpful. It offers a lot more feature-wise than Stringify ever did and some of the "rule builders"/"designers" you can setup and work with could be considered somewhat similar to how Stringify flows are laid-out. You can use rules, scripts, other methods, and they have a few drag-and-drop rule designer options that are very similar GUI-wise to Stringify.
If you have an old Android device laying around that you don't mind leaving plugged in all the time, Tasker and some of the AutoApps plugins for Tasker can really enable you to setup some pretty incredible services/systems. Also another Android-based option, which is out of all of these alternatives GUI-wise the most similar to Stringify would be Automagic.
​
And here are a few other little services/tricks I shared in another comment which can help make IFTTT a little bit more like Stringify in terms of feature offerings:
​
Tasker is an Android exclusive:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
If anyone is interested in doing the same, I used Tasker to make a task that launched the activity for battery usage, then used Tasker App Factory to export that task as an application, then used Quick Settings to add a quick setting that launched an app and set it to use the app I just made and installed.
Some possible alternatives for a few of these...
Workflow? Try Tasker or Automate
2Do? Exists on Android. Same company.
Due? Not exactly the same but Google Keep has reminders. Or maybe Life Reminderd or To Do Reminder with Alarm or Ike - To-Do List, Task List
Might be possible through Tasker?
Tasker will do it ... unless of course you have a more specific requirement that you're not sharing
Here's my list of some of the more interesting things that I'm using Tasker for:
Add calendar events with NLP by typing into a single text field which it processes and adds to my calendar.
Do stuff when my phone is unlocked with different fingerprints, when my GF unlocks my phone it changes the launcher and shows the navbar. Link
Receive notifications when a new Reddit post matches keywords. Link
Input a custom template with my wakeup time, app usage stats, and location for my Journal app.
Monitor the brightness of on-screen content. Link
Easily link to an apps playstore page on Reddit. Link.
Basically an entire reminder system (in alpha). Link
Incredibly fine control of notifications.
Snoozing notifications automatically until 6 PM for specific apps. Link
A persistent notification that I can take notes on.
Changes keyboards in different apps.
Pause podcasts before they end at night or when I fall asleep. Link
Backup alarms.
Log data to Google Sheets.
When my phone is locked the only visible quick tile becomes Bluetooth.
Transcribe last received WhatsApp voice message. Link
Pop up (overlay) dictionary. Link
Modify navbar buttons.
Convert app names to Play Store links and format them for Reddit. Link
Double tap the back of my phone to pause and play music.
A simple motion-based sleep detector profile. Link.
Saves my car's location when I disconnect from my car's bluetooth. Long pressing volume up opens the last location in Google maps. Don't use this often but it's insanely helpful when needed.
Routing audio from the main speaker to the phone-call speaker(identical to the WhatsApp feature) for when you forget your earbuds! Link.
Created my own version of the popular iOS app Drafts. Link.
Better buy Tasker for 2,99€ and build it yourself. With that app you can archieve a lot more and there is already a profile on XDA which you can just import.
Edit: Just saw that this profile requires root. Here is the rootless version.
You could do this with Tasker.
Shortcuts is iOS only, but you should check out Tasker for android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_US
You'll definitely want to check out Tasker, for automating your phone. Check out how I use Tasker. Also check out Google Opinion Rewards, they offer you short surveys in exchange for Google Play credit.
My recommendations include some premium apps that I consider well worth the price.
You would need root to do this cleanly.
If you don't mind a klunkier solution (or need a non-root solution), you can use Tasker with AutoInput, "control UI" in AutoMagic, or "interact" in AutoMate to simulate touches enabling/disabling airplane mode. Your screen would need to be on for the task to be completed, but it can be scheduled and triggered otherwise normally.
The Usual:
Requires Tasker and AutoInput:
Tasker + ~~LIFX Tasker Plugin~~ UDP Sender tasker plugin + QuickClick should be able to pull it off (via the volume buttons).
Edit... just tried & it works
Edit2... UDP Sender is much easier/efficient & sends the on/off packet directly to your bulb
Light(s) On:
Light(s) Off:
I have a hunch that Tasker could easily do that for you.
/u/infraspace uses Tasker. Extrememly powerful app to control different things.
Yes it's possible, but not quite as you expect it.
You say you can do searches with google now, that should be enough for this. If you cannot, I'm afraid this won't work.
What you can do is get Tasker with AutoVoice. Autovoice allows you to make custom voice commands, like you want. These can then trigger tasks in Tasker.
Tasker isn't the easiest app to learn, but you can do quite some insane stuff with it. Opening apps is quite easy to do once you get the hang of the interface.
Both Tasker and AutoVoice are paid apps with a free trial available (the tasker trial has to be downloaded and installed from here)
I'm not sure if I'm reading your question correctly, but I use Tasker in conjunction with Trigger.
I use the smallest capacity NFC tags, then Trigger will use the NFC tag to run a set of tasks in Tasker.
For example, I have an NFC tag on my phone car dock. It runs a task I named "launch car mode". This does the following:
All the tasks are stored on my phone, the only info on the tag is "run 'launch car mode' task"
This allows you to execute very complex and long tasks without using large capacity tags, as all of the actual commands are stored on n your phone. I've also heard some people use an app called llama, but I've never tried it.
Tasker is one of the only paid apps I own.
I switched from a rooted note9 to a z fold2 and now z fold3 and honestly it's been awesome. A bunch of stuff I used root for can be done via ADB/Shizuku now plus the larger screen and multitasking capabilities of the fold and the 120hz screens are awesome.
I didn't really mind losing the sdcard as I only used it for twrp backups and ROM storage but the headphone jack still annoys me, I hate Bluetooth with a passion so I ended up just getting USB-C Headphones and a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle for if I need to plug into something else. It's not a perfect solution but it works.
I also never used the Iris scanner but the fingerprint sensor being on the side is awesome and it's insanely fast.
I'll recommend some apps that I can't live without now:
Shizuku - allows you to elevate ADB only apps without having to connect to a PC and run a script evert time, though you need to start it every reboot however this can be done via the phone itself using wireless ADB
Tasker/Autotools - let's you set 2 launchers (one for inner screen and one for the outer one). There's instructions somewhere in my post history, I'll try and remember to add it.
Keys Cafe - Good lock module that allows you to completely customize the layout of your keyboard (and have different layouts for inner and outer)
Multistar - another good lock module, this one lets you allow multiple apps to remain running at a time instead of pausing them when multitasking (I mainly use it to let me have a game like Pogo running while scrolling through reddit or looking something up.)
I also recommend going to developer options and enabling force all apps to split screen/windowed.
I actually still use a rooted note9 as my car infotainment system and that's also been solid, no real issues apart from having to replace the battery because hot car+Lithium battery+always remaining near fully charged isn't a good combo. (I recommend limiting charge to ~50% if you plan to leave it plugged in all the time, this can be done easily with root/bl unlock).
Here's my list of some of the more interesting things that I'm using Tasker for:
Add calendar events with NLP by typing into a single text field which it processes and adds to my calendar.
Do stuff when my phone is unlocked with different fingerprints, when my GF unlocks my phone it changes the launcher and shows the navbar. Link
Receive notifications when a new Reddit post matches keywords. Link
Input a custom template with my wakeup time, app usage stats, and location for my Journal app.
Monitor the brightness of on-screen content. Link
Easily link to an apps playstore page on Reddit. Link.
Basically an entire reminder system (in alpha). Link
Incredibly fine control of notifications.

Convert app names to Play Store links and format them for Reddit. Link
Double tap the back of my phone to pause and play music.

Tasker (for Android).. Can get this to do tonnes of things.
If you want the app to always have a sub-5 second response time you have to keep the car awake by constantly polling the API. If you want a decent workaround you can use the Tasker app and the Tasker Plugin for Tesla (costs a few bucks iirc) to make a task that logs in and does what you want (sets climate temp, etc) so at least you only have to tap one shortcut to execute the most common functions. I have a task that gets the current climate state, sets the climate to 22 C and turns climate on, gets the climate state again, then says "Success" if the climate has turned on. When I need to preheat in a hurry I run the shortcut for the task off my homescreen and then put my phone in my pocket, then 30 seconds or so later I hear the cue that it worked. If I don't hear it, I check the app to see what went wrong. Basic, but good enough for my needs.
If you want a more advanced workaround you can get TeslaFi and tweak the sleep settings, or since you're a software dev, write your own app to poll the API for current status (online, driving, charging, etc) and have it constantly poll under certain states, such as when charging or at home, then your phone app will always be responsive when you need it to be. I did this with a PowerShell module written by someone else and a custom PowerShell script I wrote.
To put some numbers behind real-world power use, with the car awake and screen on but climate off, the Model 3's systems use about 240 Watts. When the screen is off (car locked and unoccupied) but kept awake by polling with the API, it uses nearly the same, so we can assume whatever computers are on when you're in the car are also on when you're waking the car to poll data. With the car "asleep" and screens off, it still uses about 35 Watts as measured by long-term power drain. This is probably BMS, radios, charging circuitry for the 12v battery and whatever else Tesla deems they need always connected.

Tasker | I didn't use Tasker for a long time, but /u/takkuso gave me some neat ideas. Now I have many annoyances fixed: I can start Sleep as Android tracking my sleep by pressing a button on my watch; Once the Sleep as Android app opens, airplane mode is automatically turned on, and Bluetooth and NFC turned back on; if my battery gets below 10%, Pushbullet sends a notification to all my devices and browser. Same thing once my phone is charged; if my phone connects to my car Bluetooth then it automatically turns off WiFi, and presents me with 4 huge buttons I can press to open Spotify, pocket casts, audible, or Google maps; I can then on my computer by bumping my phone against and NFC tag by my bed; with a nova gesture, I can shrink my screen area to be more convenient for one handed use. Other ideas still in progress! | tools, paid, basic |
Textra | Bought it solely to support the developer. I think the prime version gets rid of ads too. Great texting app, looks pretty with features and stuff. Since moved on to AwSMS, but still highly recommend this app. | paid |
Titanium Backup PRO | I think this was the first app I bought, not sure why. But Titanium Backup is the most useful app I ever bought. Backs up all my apps and data to my SD card, including contacts and texts. Definitely saved my butt more than a few times. | paid, root, basic, tools |
TuneIn Radio Pro | Got it on iOS, I think the only app that transferred my pro version to Android. I forgot the difference between pro and free, but this app is great during studying to listen to soundtrack radios and classical music. | paid |
TWoM | The PC version ported to android. A survival game in the midst of war, you try and make sure your household survives. | paid |

I've set up Tasker to automatically enable GPS and bluetooth as well as turn on my music and enable screen rotation when I put my phone in my car stand. It also disables my screen lock. The car stand has an NFC sticker on it, which I use with Trigger to run the Tasker task.
When I turn my car off, I have a Tasker task that runs when the bluetooth is disconnected. It disables GPS and bluetooth, and pauses the music in addition to disabling screen rotation. It even enables my screen lock.
I also use Tasker to get the bus times at my local bus stop each morning, before I leave the house. I could make it more fine grained to be location and time aware, but for now the task just runs each morning at a set time.
I've found the following to be essential for a power user:
Tasker: For tasks
Trigger: For NFC-enabled tasks
Secure Settings: For changing the screen lock settings
PLUS (not advocating piracy) but if you want to try out these things without paying for them up front, I've found Lucky Patcher to be the most profound addition to my power tool arsenal.
It's a bit finicky, but got it working: https://streamable.com/pga96o. The video shows taps so you can see when I launch "Span Kindle" then "Span Relay", and that I'm not tapping to span them. I use Tasker and AutoInput to automate the span gesture. It's pretty trivial to add new spanned app launchers, just a few seconds in Tasker then adding a new homescreen shortcut. Works on either screen and orientation, most times anyway.
Trickiest thing is actually Kindle, because turns out when you're in a book it disables the bottom drag bar until you partially turn a page. I had to add a special option in the logic to "prime" apps like it with a small gesture before the span gesture — if you watch carefully, you can set it in the video.
Anyway, if anyone is willing to buy Tasker and AutoInput and wants this script (as-is and without guarantees or warranties), I can write up brief instructions and put them and the script somewhere.
Very few smartwatches support reading NFC tags. In fact, the only one I could find was the 2014 Sony Smartwatch 3. Most smartwatches that support NFC can only act as NFC tags. This means that you'll need to set up a bunch of standalone NFC readers around the house. Some people are doing it with Home Assistant.
I've been tracking a bunch of things with NFC tags using my phone, but I agree with you that it's not always ideal (I don't always have my phone with me, and it's not always unlocked).
I tried to build a Home Assistant and Nomie apps on my PineTime/Colmi P8 open-source smartwatch to track things from my wrist, but I had to put it on pause due to Bluetooth connection issues (wasp-os doesn't maintain a stable connection with GadgetBridge).
I think NFC tags and Android + Tasker/Automate or iOS + Shortcuts is still your best bet.

Grab yourself Tasker. Since that is the way to go. That app was made using it ��
I'm willing to help set something up for you since I love these kinds of faces (I almost always build watches using Tasker data).
There are other APIs available, such as
https://www.aerisweather.com/support/docs/api/reference/endpoints/tides/ (US only by looks) and https://www.worldtides.info/apidocs (worldwide).
Tasker is a paid app, but it has far more many uses than just providing watchmaker extra data.
Awesome! I’m a huge fan of displays littered around! I had a first gen fire 7 tablet strapped to my wall for HA use. It survived 2 years 10 months of this abuse before it failed. I’ve always wanted a tablet in the kitchen too but couldn’t decide where to mount it.

Unfortunately you have to pay few bucks for these apps, but if you have some money invested in crypto, you probably are going to have a lambo on the next few years, so this is not a problem, right?
1) Open the Amazfit Tools app
2) Go to the "Button" section on the left sidebar
3) Click on + to add an action
4) Click on "More" and on "Send Broadcast (Intent)"
5) Click on "Intent Action", write "bit_tap" and confirm
6) Download this Tasker XML configuration file:

7) Open the Tasker app
8) Long press the "PROFILE" tab and choose "Import"
9) Choose the XML file you just downloaded on point 6
10) Double press your Amazfit Bip button and wait few seconds
11) Enjoy :-)
You can easily add/remove ctypto and/or change the ticker source (currently Bitstamp) editing the Tasker Task.
BTW:
This setup is very similar to the one I posted for the Xiaomi MiBand2:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6xw3f0/how_to_check_btc_price_with_your_xiaomi_miband2/
Some functions require root, which I don't have because I have a G5 which apparently can't be reliably rooted yet. But this app is amaze-balls. I used it because I kept forgetting to turn off my data at night. I listen to 8 hour sleep tracks on youtube, and sometimes my WiFi would go down and I would wake up to a text saying I used 50$ worth of data overnight. So I used Tasker to automatically shut off my mobile at 10pm and turn it on again at 6am when I wake up. I could also set it up to only do this certain days of the week.
It's not the easiest app to use but if you are tech saavy it should be a breeze! There is also A TON of resources online. Loads of help, you might even be able to grab a preset that solves your issue.
Good luck!
EDIT:
I've done some research, muting a specific app in tasker is really tricky and finicky apparently. What you want is an app called xposed, but it requires root.
Tasker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm)
I don't have the exact task on hand, but you can set it to end a call if the number calling isn't in your contacts (!C:ANY I think)
I have a helpful little app that i use to fix that problem. Tasker is what i use and the way i have it set up is to disable wifi when i get to work (wifi at work is shit) and then re-enable wifi when i get home. I also use it for other things like starting music when my phone connects to my car's speakers and increasing/decreasing the screen timeout depending on if it is plugged in or not.
You can do this with an automation app (Tasker, AutoMagic, AutoMate, or MacroDroid), but you'd need to be rooted to do this cleanly, I believe. However, there are a couple of non-root options. Since it's a music player, you could schedule a media button press (pause) at a specific time—it won't kill the app, obviously, but the music will stop. Or, you could do it the hard way and set a series of automated touches that closes the app (you'll need to also add screen on and screen off steps, as the screen must be on to go through the automated touches).
You can do this with an automation app (Tasker, AutoMagic, AutoMate, or MacroDroid), but you'd need to be rooted to toggle mobile data cleanly. Wi-Fi can be toggled without root.
There is a non-root option, but it's pretty messy: Set a series of automated touches (you'll need to also add screen on and screen off steps, as the screen must be on to go through the automated touches). Both Tasker and MacroDroid would require you to use the AutoInput plugin. AutoMagic ("control UI") and AutoMate ("interact") have this feature built-in.
He was referring to Tasker, a more-robust but less-user-friendly app than IFTTT
Yes, with Tasker. You can use the charging status as a trigger for things, and it differentiates between wired and wireless charging, so it's perfect.
In my case I use it to enable DND mode + turn off always-on display at night, then do the opposite when I take the phone off the wireless charger.
Not to dissuade you from using Python, but you can do this quite easily with Tasker. I use it just this way when I receive certain types of notifications. I think ITTT will do this as well (but I haven't tried it).
You can even package up your Tasker scripts into standalone android packages if you want to share them.
Home automation is fun as hell too. You can get some RF outlets and an RF Transmitter and Receiver and hook them up to your pi and then install Home Assistant to control it all from your phone. This was just one quick tutorial I looked up that explains it pretty well. I've got the same thing on my setup. You can program command line switches into it, so anything you normally do from the command line you can program into Home Assistant as a button. Backups, file transfers, ssh commands, bash scripts, anything.
So I've got Tasker and when my phone connects to my home's wifi it will trigger the job in Tasker to start the CL switch in Home Assistant called "Home" and it runs a bash script to basically send the RF codes to turn on power strips for computer/ monitors, send a Wake On Lan (WOL) packet to turn on my computer, send an SSH command to an IR transmitter to turn on my AC, and send an RF signal to turn on the radio. AND, if you set up your own OpenVPN server at home you can log in remotely to your local network and turn on your RF outlets from anywhere. Telling you, you can get deep lol. If you ever need any help I'll do what I can.
I personally haven't delved into it yet, but it seems that some form of automation may be able to do what you're asking. Have you tried looking into Tasker?
I use Tasker. For location based texting, it checks for a combination of things: Available Wi-Fi networks, my calendar state, and a set of custom variables (used to make sure it only sends once a day).
You can do so via Tasker + Notification Listener. See this post. Tasker may be replaced with $AutomationApp, assuming Notification Listener is compatible.
There is no extended snooze built in. This is one of my biggest gripes with the Oreo release.

Tasker + Autolocation works nicely for this. It detects when I'm within ~200 feet of my house (entering the fence) and disables my alarm, turns on lights, etc. And the opposite in the inverse.
If you have an unlocked S8, no. It's required to be on in various nations, so Samsung opted to remove the setting since unlocked versions are more accessible than carrier versions.
However, there are plenty of automated tools you can download to set up conditional "triggers". I use Tasker (it occasionally goes on sale) and set up a Tasker profile to put my phone's sound profile on silent when the camera app is open and return the sound to normal when it's closed. Works like a charm! You can find the steps to recreate the profile with a quick Google search.
Try Tasker
My best guess would be Tasker, but you probably need root for it to turn off location services.
Could use Tasker (or the simpler MacroDroid) to conrrol that, if it is that bothersome.
Tasker (payant) pour automatiser les changements sur mon téléphone (par exemple en fonction du wifi auquel je suis connecté, couper la sonnerie).
You can to that with Tasker.
I have a solution now! This has really been frustrating me since I updated last night.
To start, let me point out that I already purchased Tasker and AutoLocation a while ago, so for me, this was a free solution. If you don't have them already, it will cost you $4. Thanks to a suggestion by /u/Ratchet_Guy, I installed On Time as well.
For those who don't know, Tasker lets you set up profiles on your phone which contain tasks triggered by certain events and states. AutoLocation adds GeoFences as a usable state, and On Time provides a widget made up of App collections.
So I now have Home, Work, and a couple other geofences. Entering any of those causes Tasker to set the On Time widget to the appropriate app collection, as well as changing any phone settings that I want. Exiting the Geofence changes the app collection to my "Out and About" apps, and automatically resets the other settings.
In addition, I have another Task that is triggered by connection to a certain bluetooth device (a speaker) that changes the app collection to all of my music apps. I'll keep testing, but it seems really promising!

I am still on MM on a Moto X Pure but this might work.
I just created some stuff in Tasker tonight to make AA behave a little better. I haven't tested it extensively but so far the only issue is the on screen home button attempts to open AA instead of the default launcher and retriggers the task.
First attempt to override the splash screen to display something useful
I also made the Secure Settings plugin detect the change to the screen timeout and reset it to 10 minutes: (might figure out how to set always on later but I think this will work for my purposes)
Reset Screen Timeout (this will reset your screen timeout when it's changed by AA but also if you change it in settings)
*600000 is 10 minutes in milliseconds
Apologies if I missed any steps.
If you think your phone is cool, see what Tasker can do.
Example: I have mine set to sound an alarm at max volume, even if silent mode is on, when I miss three calls from my girlfriend. Obviously it's an emergency if that happens so if I'm sleeping, my phone will wake me up.
It's the ultimate in IFTTT apps. Check out /r/tasker for more ideas and tips.
Welcome aboard the Android train!
If you're on an Android device, Tasker might be better suited to what you're after.
If on iPhone... that I'm not sure about.
Tasker it's an automation app
And more options in Tasker!
Not sure if there are any apps. If there aren't, and you use Android, you might need to start learning about Tasker, AutoRemote, and EventGhost, and bake your own. Alas it's no small feat getting around those.
Very possible using Tasker. You could do a task where it turns off all sound except media when you arrive at the library and headphones are plugged in and another to turn sound back on when you arrive home. Lots of possibilities, I've been using Tasker since I first got an Android phone 2 years ago and it's absolutely worth the $3!
This feature isn't built in to the Pebble app (would be great if it was), but you can accomplish it on the phone side by using a macro/automation app -- create a script to change the ringer mode when connected/disconnected from a Bluetooth device. Tasker is popular and should work for this purpose, though I think Automate would be easier to use (although I haven't tried it, I used that developer's previous location-aware profile package, Llama, and it worked well.)
I see 2 easy way to to it.
Use an app like Tasker with an app that consider the time when the sun coms down Locale/Tasker Twilight Plug-in and controle the Hue with an other app like AutoHue.
Use IFTTT app to record when you're at home (Condition when getting in and out of a zone) and the time of the day when the sunset happend. Then run some Google Script to send an email to IFTTT to open the lights.
The first option you don't need to code and the second you need but its really easy to do!
I found a way to set the animation speed to 0.75x on stock Nougat. Download Tasker and AutoTools, make a new task and add the "Secure Settings" action from under Plugins > AutoTools. Then edit the action and find animation speed, and it will let you set it to whatever number you like. After you've set it to the desired value, just run the task and it should work!
I don't know if this requires root (I was rooted when I did it) but I don't think it does.
> Do I have to root the phone to get this app to work
Based on the description, it does not support lollipop
> is there another app that will automatically switch between cell data & wifi w/o requiring the phone to be rooted?
You can do so with Tasker (Play Store - 2.99 USD, Developers - 7 day trial) + AutoInput (1.64 USD IAP through AutoApps).
I have a profile doing almost the same thing, but for Airplane mode while on Wi-Fi
Join together with Tasker is one of the most useful things out there :)
Other than just keeping your WiFi on all of the time, the only way I can imagine this working is maybe using Tasker to turn your WiFi on at certain times during the day, but that would only work if you have a regular schedule
I use Tasker to set screen timeout to 23 hours when Pokemon Go is open, and back to 1 or 2 minutes when it's not.
No root.
>I am getting into development, and want to be able to customize the phone more, especially for automating tasks
>I haven't been able to find anything at all with a simple google search
>So, is there not a way for this model of phone? Why not?
Verizon thinks you are incompetent and will risk their network.. .ish. .
You can do this with Tasker.
It's an android thing, unless you have root you can't disable it (AFAIK). But with tasker you can have it autoclick the ok button whenever it pops up. Tasker does have a little bit of a learning curve but this is relatively easy to do.
This is Tasker, and this is AutoInput
Basically you setup a profile in Tasker so that when you open the Phone app, AutoInput taps on the Recents tab for you. It's very simple and no, you don't need root to do this.
First of all, questions like these are best suited for /r/PickAnAndroidForMe but I'll answer you anyways. :)
> So that means is copying from my computer to a solid option? I travel on airplanes quite frequently and love to have movies available on my smartphone to view, so I will I still be able to easily upload these to my phone? How is the download speed?
Yes, provided you're on recent OS, like Windows 8.1+ or an updated Linux distro. In fact with the Note 5, it's even more quicker to transfer files because you're copying directly to eMMC, which has a write speed of at least 40 MB/s, whereas the fastest microSD cards write only at around 10-30 MB/s (UHS1 - UHS3).
> Part of my interest in leaving Samsung is that it lacks the same customizations (so I've been told) that raw android has.
That's not really true. In fact, Samsung has more customisation options than stock Android (without root). Some consider them to be over the top in fact, which is why a lot of people prefer stock so that they can keep it simple and customise only what they need (via third-party apps). For eg, on Samsung phones, you can now change the theme of the whole phone, which isn't possible on stock Android. You can change the fonts, which again isn't possible. And so on. And so much that it can be overwhelming to a new user, and at times even detrimental to the performance of the system.
> I would love to be able to tweak my phone without rooting it, and think that would be a ton of fun.
Without root, you'll be able to tweak more on a recent Samsung device than on stock Android - unless of course you load a custom ROM, which technically doesn't require root. If you want to consider loading a custom ROM in the future, then a Nexus is your best bet.
> On a side note my friend has tons of tweaks for his iPhone, like programmed responses from Siri. Would I have to root my phone to do that, or could I use straight android?
Android, in general, doesn't require root for a lot of things (doesn't matter if it's Samsung or Nexus). In this particular example, you could use Tasker and Autovoice to implement custom voice commands and actions, without root.
> On top of that how is downloading to the pone via computer or straight to the device itself?
I don't understand what you mean by "downloading to the phone via computer" -> do you mean file transfer via USB? As indicated above, all you need is a recent OS and it's pretty fast. What do you mean by "straight to the device", do you mean WiFi transfers? Downloads over 3G/4G?
> I've also noticed that it is a type USB-C instead, does that have any significant benefits over microUSB v2.0?
Basically, type-C offers users a reversible connector and greater power delivery, so your devices could charge quicker. One could also argue that the connectors are more resilient.
> It may seem stupid, but what happens when I scroll through the screens? I noticed that Samsung has a new flip board screen (my brother has a Note 4) and honestly that kind of irritates me, I just want my scrolling to roll all the way through the pages. Will the Nexus 6p run something like that?
By default, Nexus phones have the Google Now Launcher installed as the main homescreen. On Google Now Launcher, if you scroll left, you get the Google Now screen. If you scroll right, you'll get your normal pages. If you don't like this behaviour, you can install any other launcher such as Nova Launcher. You can install this on any Android device, and customise it exactly the way you want to.
> I noticed that the Nexus 6p also has slightly different aspects on the camera, with 12.3 MP and f/2.0 while the Note 5 has a camera of 16MP and f/1.9. Does that really make a difference? Is that trade off worth it between the two phones?
No. Megapixels don't matter, at least it doesn't when the difference is so little. The aperture size does, but it's not too much of a difference either. Both cameras are fantastic and you can't go wrong with either of them. If you're really curious though, DxoMark has given the Note V camera 86 points (ranking #2) and the Nexus 6P a ranking of 84 (ranking #3).
> Also while reading specs on the Nexus 6p it makes reference to oleophobic coating, preventing fingerprint marks. Is this very effective and worth it in your opinion?
I believe all flagship phones have oleophobic coatings now, even if they don't mention it on the specs list. It's a standard, just like scratch-resistance is.
> Another feature was noted is that the Note 5 has one whole more gigabyte of ram, but is it really that much worth it?
Not in this case. The Note 5's TouchWiz and pre-loaded software consumes a lot of RAM, so with the 4GB installed it's more like 3GB (maybe a slight exaggeration). So the RAM benefits of both the devices should be roughly the same.
> I'm also aware that the better processor you have the less ram you actually need.
This is completely untrue. You cannot substitue the lack of RAM with anything else. I mean, you could use a secondary storage like eMMC as a temporary RAM (swap file), but it's several orders of magnitude slower, so it's not really a substitute. RAM is a really quick, temporary scratching pad. To store results of calculations etc. It is also used to "load" apps, and to cache data so that everything appears to open instantly. To give you an idea, the RAM on an average android phone can transfer at a speed of at 4 GB/s. Compare this to internal storage (where your apps are installed), which is only around 0.1 GB/s. See the difference? When you run out of RAM, you will see everything come to a halt - even having the worlds fastest most powerful CPU will not help you.
> USB type C need a different port to connect to? If so how much would that cost or would I receive a converter when I receive the phone.
The 6P comes with a type-C to a standard type-A cable, so you don't need to purchase anything extra.
get Tasker and you will never be bored again. I always need to tweak something or mess with a new plugin
it's like if crack made you super productive and nerdy

I actually use Tasker to automate some of my phone functionality like this... eg, turning on bluetooth and turning off wifi during my commutes, turning off wifi overnight while i'm asleep, etc. It's quite powerful!
Give Tasker a try. It's a steeper learning curve, but I've never had any issues with tasks not starting on time.
You might be able to do this with Tasker or AutomateIt.
You could use tasker to automate this behavior.
look into tasker
you can set up triggers to carry out various actions with it...
i'm not sure of the extent to which you can customize those triggers but if you can do like "every 2 hours perform this action", or "on boot perform this action" - you should be able to build a working configuration for server management...
and of course, there is a subreddit for it: /r/tasker
I noticed that its not in the search also, but you can still download if you already bought it. You just gotta go to it directly. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm

Without root, the only workaround I've found is the combination of Tasker and Autoinput. Basically you make a profile that automatically presses OK when those popups appear. I can't remember if Tasker is a paid app, but AutoInput is. I personally think they are worth a few bucks each, but it depends on what you do with them.
I actually just swapped my phone today and don't have the profiles available, but I'll search for the reddit post that someone made about it and edit this to include the link.
Edit: added links.
Edit2: Some of the annoying popups you can avoid with this.
Credit goes to /u/AgnosticAndroid, who gives credit to /u/RatchetGuy!
Tasker for Android can be used to create profiles that are time- and location-specific. $3 in the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&amp;hl=en
I still use Sense as my launcher, with that stupid BlinkFeed disabled. It works well enough for my needs. I did use VenomTweaks to change the layout to 5x6 instead of 4x5, I like it a lot more.
Tasker is the most useful root app, but has an extremely high learning curve. It lets you set custom actions when certain conditions are met, like disabling the lock screen when connected to your home wifi (I know 5.1's Smart lock does this too, but tasker did it first).
BetterBatteryStats gives you a very detailed look at what apps are pulling the most current off your battery.
There are a lot of lists out there of "15 Best Root Apps!!!1!" but most of their functionality is built into ViperOne.
No, you are (or should be) adding another context to an existing profile. See second screenshot for Tasker for an example of two contexts in one profile.
It'll say "Add", not "Add context"; the Add, Clone, Delete, Name menu is the one to choose Add from.
I do not know of any app that directly does this. You can use one of the automation apps such as Tasker to do it. Tasker's minimum time between firing a task is 2 minutes but there are ways around it. I am unsure of the limitations of the other automation apps out there. I just tested and Tasker can take pictures just fine with screen off which is important for battery life.
Checkout /r/tasker if you go that route as it does have a bit of a learning curve.
If you have an Android device, you can use Tasker to do this (or atleast something similar). I've been working on a bash script for Android that does something similar with GPS tracking and Runtastic (the tracking app I use).
You may want to check out Google Fit, as it automatically tracks and uploads your data. I am unsure if you can export that data, but if you can, that can be automated too.
Like /u/somnodoc said, Tasker can do that for you!
That sounds like a job for Tasker. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en
Use Tasker to create your own locations and profiles. The possibilities are endless. It's the most powerful app you'll come across. I've been using it for years.

Its likely keeping GPS on so it knows when you're at home. Tasker can use cell locations, which are accurate but use less power.
I have things like at work when I launch Chrome, it opens my work's ticketing system (I work in IT support). When I get to work WiFi turns on, my ringtone and notification volumes are lowered. When I'm at work and I have an appointment in my calendar, my phone goes to vibrate mode.
When I leave work, Wifi turns off and Chrome goes back to opening the Google page.
At home Wifi is on, volume up. I use Tasker to mute my phone (only at night) when the battery is charging and gets to 99-100%, so that the stupid fully charged sound doesn't play at 2am.
These are just a few VERY SIMPLE examples of what it can do.
I worked for a 3rd party dealer for a mobile phone company several years ago that had several conference calls a week, usually at 7am in the morning. I didn't have to be on a good portion of them, since I was tech rather than sales, but was still required to be on a few. Problem is, I mostly worked the later shift going in at noon, so these calls were a huge inconvenience for my sleep schedule.
Corporate would test if you were on the call by either saying code words to be emailed later or sending out an emailed quiz with questions based on the content of the call.
Being a tech with extremely good technical knowledge, I devised this setup:
Setup audio recording program on desktop to start recording at 6:55am.
Setup Android phone with Tasker to automatically dial the conference number, wait 5 seconds, then enter the "room pin".
Plug in phone to computer's Line In input.
Go to sleep, let recording do it's thing.
Wake up whenever the hell I wanted to, skim through recording for code words or answers to questions. Send off email with required information by the deadline, usually at noon.
Only other person that knew I did this was my manager. He didn't care, since the more people on the call with correct answers from his store made him look better.
NOTE: This was back in like 2011, before apps like Call Recorder existed. Call recording wasn't big a thing then.
I disabled that stupid recommended list because it kept showing completely non-related apps.
I use Tasker to automatically launch PowerAmp (doesn't start playing) when I plug in my headphones.
Just a suggestion :)
You'd probably like Tasker.
There's the app Tasker that can do really really simple things like turning your Wifi on when you get home, and it can do really advanced things like reading keywords in a text message from a specific number and using GPS to get your current location and send the address of where you currently are. Holy run-on sentence batman.
My point is.. it might be possible to do something with Tasker like in /u/css01's comment.
Rooting gives you access to all sorts of apps that you couldn't otherwise use. Lifehacker has a good top 10 article on the benefits of rooting, and in addition to what they have listed you can:
See all the folders on your device with a file manager.
Transfer apps between multiple users more easily than without root.
Overclock or underclock your CPU
Install backup utilities that require root
Use wireless tethering without having to pay a silly fee to your carrier
Really get the most out of tasker
Tasker and the Cars bluetooth could solve the Andoird problem. It might even be able to sense the iPhone.
if it's a workweek, at the time she would normally be driving, and there is no home wifi, and not within the home geofence, then sound an alarm. Close enough to the home and she could drive back to get it.
If you just want to base it on time, you could have it sound an alarm if she's late and it's not paired with the car.

this app. it is the license & also the app. both are same. ( you can unistall the app that you download from tasker website.)
Hmm, that's a good question… 🤔
I'd imagine the only way to do something like that would be to use a third-party app to serve as an intermediary between the two disparate Kindle & KWGT apps…
One such app that I'd suggest you check out in order to accomplish this would be Tasker…
FYI, this is not free. Both tasker and AutoTools are a few bucks (I think tasker is $3.49 and Autotools is either $1.99 or $2.99, don't remember)
Download Tasker, AutoApps, AutoTools, and 2 launchers of your choice (one can be OneUI AFAIK but it's better to not use OneUI from my experience.).
Once you have those apps downloaded make sure you purchased the paid version of Autotools it lets you try the app for a short time after watching an ad but it's something like 10 minutes.
I'll start with ADB set up as it's probably easier to get that out of the way.
I'll let XDA explain the ADB Install and setup, it's relatively simple.
Once you successfully have adb set up run the following commands: 'adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.READ_LOGS'
'adb shell am force-stop net.dinglisch.android.taskerm'
'adb tcpip 5555'
This grants tasker the READ_LOGS permission to read Logcat (how it detects folding) and restarts ADB in Wireless mode which tasker will use to kill apps.
Still on your PC, download this and save it as XML (ctrl + s on Windows saves it) I'll be referring to it as 'foldlauncher.xml' you can name it anything just change it in the following command.
Copy that file to your phone (this can be done via MTP or ADB), since adb it already set up it's probably easier to just use 'adb push C:\path\to\foldlauncher.xml /sdcard/Download' (tip: you can drag a file into CMD so type 'adb push ' and drag the xml into CMD, then type '/sdcard/Download/'
Now you're done with your PC/ADB, head back to your phone and launch tasker.
Inside Tasker click the 3 dots in the top right and select 'data' then 'restore' then 'local backup'. Tap the phone icon in the bottom right and select the 'Download' folder and tap the xml file (it doesn't show the xml extension for whatever reason).
Once you go through the prompts on the import you should see 2 things under the 'TASKS' tab (Unfolded and Folded).
Tap on Unfolded to start and look for the 'Kill Apps line, tap it, then tap the app icon (it might have an error because the app I used probably isn't installed for you), you should get a prompt to pick an app. You want to pick the app you want on the OUTER/COVER screen.
Repeat this step with the Folded task EXCEPT select the app you want to use on the INNER screen.
Almost there, now go back and go the 'VARS' tab, tap on FoldedLauncher and enter the package name of the app you want to use on the OUTER/COVER screen. If you don't know the package name (should be something like 'com.xxxx.yyy') you can find it using this app.
Then select %UnfoldedLauncher var and do the same thing but for the launcher you want to use on the INNER screen.
Tap the check mark in the top right and you're done.
That should be it, if you have any more questions feel free to ask, I'll probably make a Reddit post with pictures at some point.
If you have a problem where opening/closing the phones opens to the OneUI launcher go into settings > apps > find the OneUI Launcher and Kill it.
As I've never actually used that particular app before (PyDroid), I don't know for certain whether it's possible to use it directly with KLWP, but there's probably a good chance that you could get it to work if you incorporate the use of Tasker and the wg (Web Get) function inside KLWP…
But, even then, that's only just a guess… cuz Tasker isn't exactly the easiest app to use, so it might also require you to do some additional research if you're unfamiliar with it…
The profiles sound a lot like what the app tasker used to be capable of. I haven't user it in a while and android has gotten more restrictive with what apps can do. But worth checking out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en&gl=us

Dynamic spam call screening with the ability to report as spam.
You might be able to achieve this with Tasker or Automate but you'll need a initiator. (Basically a event that tells you're phone that it should block now the notification of certain apps)
Seeing as you are working at a desk, you might be able to place a NFC sticker on your desk and have that as an initiator for the actions it should perform.
In practice, it should work like this:
Instead of using a NFC sticker, you could also use the Bluetooth connection of your PC, but this might be inconvenient of you use the Bluetooth of your phone for other things

It's not. Tasker can do it.

This is a terrible anti-security measure so I don't recommend this. Do so at your own risk.
I configured my phone with the DUO app and also set up Tasker, an automation tool. Using the AutoNotification plugin, I configured Tasker to intercept the DUO push and auto-press the Accept button for me. You would still have to wait a few seconds while your phone dings and responds to the request.
I've not done that myself but I suppose a combination of Tasker and Easy Voice Recorder Pro (which has a Tasker integration and offers) could help. At the very least you should be able to use the button as a toggle (press once to start, press again to stop). See also this article and video on how Tasker natively integrates with the Bixby button (it's no longer in beta).
I'm sure there are other ways to automate this, here is another app that offers intent integration. AutoInput, another tasker app, could also be of use.
Oh and there is a bixby quick command to start the Samsung voice recorder, though you cannot use a voice command while recording to stop it, so you may need another way to do that, e.g. volume up to pause and restart, volume down to stop recording!
It's a paid app; can get a 7 day trial from https://tasker.joaoapps.com/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm is the Play store link.
But, it can do so much more than just lock your apps 😁
Sorry to be that guy, but something like this sounds entirely doable with Tasker? Don't know for sure, but it sounds like something it could handle.

I have a Tasker setup that queries the Reddit API and let's me know when there's a new post lol.
And it's a shame that YOU didn't read what I wrote in the original post.
"I recently purchased <strong>Tasker</strong> by João Dias from the Google Play Store". Does this say I bought Tasker using AppCoins?
What I said was I bought the 2 Tasker plugins AutoVoice and AutoTools. which both have in-app AppCoins purchase.
I also tried buying them using another of João Dias' Tasker plugins called AutoApps. But that brought up an error when you tried to subscribe. (That would be something an app developer would make SURE was working.)
Also the AutoVoice app I bought in Aptoide Market/Catappult Store using AppCoins didn't work, which was why I contacted João Dias in the first place.
I have since bought the same 2 plugins at Google Play Store and have no problems with those.
Here's the URL's for those 2 in case you still can't find them.
https://autovoice.en.aptoide.com/
https://autotools.en.aptoide.com/
The AppCoins version of AutoApps (which crashed when you tried to subscribe) seems to have been removed from the Catappult Store now. (But don't worry. I have a backup of the file if someone is interested in it.)
And I say the negative response I got from the 2 app developers I contacted, regarding the AppCoins versions of their apps sold at Aptoide Market/Catappult store, is way more than basic evidence.
Try Tasker. It is paid, but you can try it for 10 days free with a trial for Google's Game thing.
You could use an automation app like Tasker to accomplish this.
Tasker can be set to activate on a specific trigger/event (e.g. start/end of a phone call) and then do actions (e.g. turn on the flashlight or a smart bulb).
Not sure how tech savvy you are, but its fairly easy to set something like this up if you're reasonably competent at picking up apps.
Tasker Plugin
For those of you that for some reason have not herd of Tasker here have fun.
Nice list, let me add some popular, but nonetheless amazing apps:
Tasker : Automation
IFTTT: More Automation
unitMeasure : My Unit Converter App featuring AMOLED Theme and Date Conversions
Vision Code Scanner: My Qr and Barcode Scanner
F-Droid :Open-Source App Store
Pushbullet: Share links between multiple devices
Evernote: Wonderful note-taking app
Google Keep: Sticky Notes App
Firefox Klar : Basic private browser
NewPipe : Amazing open-source youtube client
If you're savvy you could probaly write something for that in an app like tasker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=nl
But there are no standard options that I know of that would do this.
You can't. It's a feature on the bluetooth speaker and not your phone unfortunately.
You can however use an automation app like Tasker to automatically disconnect the speaker when it connects, show a pop-up asking if you want to connect and reconnect to it if you hit "yes".
I don't use Tasker myself and it might require some paid 3rd party tools to do so. I use Automate personally and I can help you make a flow that does this for you if you chose to use it.
There's no built-in functionality to do this, however searching around it appears that Tasker can conditionally disable/enable DND.

Costs $3. With the refund policy you should be able to download it, check to see if it can do it for ~10 mins, then refund if it can't.
You can run absolutely run Python natively on Android.
Install Termux, then run pkg install python3
With another (paid) Termux add-on app, you can add widgets to your home screen to launch scripts. You can also integrate it with Tasker so scripts run on events, like arriving at the office or on the receipt of an SMS message.
Tasker for Android has something similar to what your android app is doing. It can check your battery level for you and if it hits 80% it can perform an action similar to what you are doing by flashing the light.
I bought a smart plug and use the action from Tasker to send a signal to the plug to turn off the power at 80 - 90% then turn it back on if it hits 70% (which is extremely rare overnight)
I have used:
Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en
Tasker App Factory: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.appfactory&hl=en
Android TV App Launcher Builder: http://atvlauncher.trekgonewild.de/
to do something similar. Not running a bash script, but to send commands to my Home Assistant server. Tasker I believe can run bash scripts so you should be able to do the same thing.
Use Tasker to execute the script. Tasker App Factory creates an apk from the Tasker Task that can be installed on the Shield, and then Android TV App Launcher Builder creates a wrapper Android TV app that can be added to your Favorites on the Shield launcher.
Not sure what your options for iPhone are, but in Android there's an app called Tasker which would allow you to automate disabling Bluetooth in a particular location.
​
I use the app, for example, to put my phone into vibrate when I connect to work's wifi.
Edit: Oops, not FOSS.
I use tasker to program my phone in various ways. It's very powerful - the only limitation is yourself. It helps if you have casually written a few lines of code in your life.
An example of something I've done: when my phone connects to my home wifi between 5pm and 7pm on a Monday (meaning I just got home), I hear a random worker sound (Peasant or Peon from Warcraft, SCV from Starcraft, etc) say something, which reminds me to take out the trash.
So you could definitely program it to play a sound file at some point, or a random one from a folder.
Tasker can do this.
Profile: State ->Net -> BT Connected (enter the name of the BT device)
Task: Display -> AutoRotate -> Set: On
You can do tons of cool stuff like this with Tasker. It kinda has a bit of a learning curve if you're not familiar with it. But there's plenty of guides and tutorials out there.
I don't know how to do this, but I'd bet it can be done with Tasker
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_US
Mostly for this automation app I use called Tasker
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Nope, that requires the modification of audio_safe_volume_state
, this can be done using Tasker and the AutoTools plugin, however AutoTools needs permission to modify Settings.Global
which will inevitably need the use of ADB, the full guide is here
There are other guides for doing this using root instead.
I'm a tinker at heart and love Tasker for Android. Also using Wallpapers Unlimited which has Tasker support, I made a simple wallpaper to lookup UK Analogue voice repeaters (can use any CSV file from RSGB).
It also has a simple RF calculator so you can do frequency to wavelength and wavelength to frequency. This one was a fun addition, since the Wallpaper app uses Lua scripting for its awesomeness.
I also added some Q codes for quick reference.
If anyone would be interested in this, let me know and I'll upload the wallpaper and Tasker Project.
Tasker should be able to do that. You can set conditions on which to trigger events, and you are able to turn off things like wifi. So you'd set a condition based on the Bluetooth device you're connected to, and use that to trigger turning wifi off. Should work, but check with the trial version before buying.
My advice with Tasker is to not set too many conditions, as any checks it's making will have some amount of compute time, thus using power, so your battery can drain pretty quickly if it's checking a lot of things. But for this use case, it should be minimal.
I don't know if you're familiar with Tasker, but I made commands for my Google Home for each activity. It's so much less hassle.
the app is called " tasker " its a " if this / do that " type program and its all automatic once setup

Data Source: http://timetrack.io/ (on Android)
Visualization software: Python with pandas, matplotlib
The TimeTrack.io app is free and lets you just record activity start/stop times, customize stuff, export it, etc. and I found it a LOT easier to use than a spreadsheet. After setting it up with some categories (you can edit them later). Plus, I've been using Automate for Android (could also use Tasker) to automate some things (like sleep times and Youtube/Twitch on my phone).
The reason it's "almost" every minute is twofold:
I had a lot more activity types than the ones shown, but I've grouped them up for both privacy and readability.
I'd love to know any ideas about overlapping activities. For example, I constantly have "Music (listen)" overlapping with something else (e.g. washing dishes or homework). Also, if I had more time, I'd snip the [start, end] ranges along days.
Yes, the APN are different.
Either a dual SIM, or you could try tasker
Tasker is another app that allows you to automate things on your phone. I really don't know what it is you are wanting to accomplish, but within Tasker, you can have a time based task that executes every 45 minutes, and upon execution, you can buzz the MiBand with text that you choose.
Tasker is not necessarily for beginners, but come visit the group over in /r/tasker if you need some help.
I use Tasker to set my volumes.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
You can download Tasker App and then just set a task that anytime you open certain apps (i.e YouTube, Google Photos etc.) the auto rotate toggle will be automatically be switched on, and then switched off when you get out of the app.
Check here.
Tasker is an Android app available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
It isn't free but it's worth the money (it has a # 1 Top Paid tag). I have a pretty basic usage but you can see a collection of varied ways people are using it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/8fcm8z/tasker_ideas
You can always Google around for inspiration too.
Examples include:
-If casting something to TV, Tasker automatically pauses the content if I receive a phone call and resumes it once the call ends.
-If I am in my house and my home computer request authentication for my Steam account, Tasker catches the code from the auth app and copies it to my PC's clipboard.
-Twice a day Taskers checks my wishlist in different sites and informs me if it finds a discount of a given percentage.
-Shake phone to activate flashlight
Unfourtunately it's not really possible to make android apps with python on android, as far as I know.
​
There exists libraries like Kivvy and to some extent Pygame that are cross platform to android, but you would still need to develop in a linux, mac, or windows environment.
​
However you might consider Tasker which is an android app that has the functionality to make other apps. You don't generally write code but rather use built in code snippets to achieve your goal, but you can implement some python code through the use of SL4A or you could use Java/JavaScript too.
​
Check out /r/Tasker for more information.
​
EDIT: That's not to say you can't use SOME python on your phone via something like QPython which gives you access to a python IDE on your phone to write some command line stuff. You can use ALMOST all the standard library through this. (sans anything UI based so: Tkinter) and I use it myself to quickly prototype some things that don't need UI or non standard library modules.
I don't know enough about tasker to help you through things, but I this is the real app, and this is the subreddit that can help you do things. It seems that if you go to the official website (listed at that subreddit), you can download a demo version to try out for 7 days without paying.
I have very briefly used this app, which is a free competitor and from what I understand very similar but not as powerful.
good luck! :)
I know there are some security apps with it built in, however if you are willing to shill out a bit I would recommend looking at Tasker, it can do this and a LOT more. You could even get it to text the number back with it's current location.
You could also consider activating your google location history to prove where you have been in case anything happens. I don't know for how long they keep that data though.
Alternatively you could use Tasker to make your phone take pictures every x minutes and save that to your cloud. Or tell it to save your GPS location to a file.
Alternatively you could use a spoken trigger to activate recording of audio and/or video.
tasker was always my goto. Since my moto droid, it's been more effective than google assistant.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Sorry, can't really help you there. I have this version of Tasker, if it helps, but i purchased it years ago and have forgotten what I did to get it
Okay, there are a couple of ways to do this, but the easiest one is this:
Make her get a third-party launcher. I swear, they're faster, cooler, and easy to customize in tons of fun ways! Look at some of the fun themes I've done with launchers over the last few years! Besides, third-party launchers can do cool things like use gesture controls (double-tap to turn off the screen is awesome, and I can swipe up on home screen apps to open different, hidden apps)
But if your friend doesn't want the coolness of a new launcher (by the way, most third-party launchers can import your home screen layout during setup, so you don't have to worry about setting everything up the way you want again), then there's always Tasker.
I made a Tasker Home Shortcut mini-app. All it does is go to the home screen, but since it's technically its own app, Google Assistant can open that app to take you to the home screen. If you just want the completed app to install on your friend's phone and skip to step 11, here you go.
...I think downloading random APKs from complete strangers is risky, so here's how to make the mini-app yourself:
It looks like a lot of steps, but it's really only about 5 minutes of work to get it going. It's still a complete pain that Google Assistant can't open the default launcher, but this is one of several workarounds you could use.
Could use Tasker to accomplish this.
I don't use any switch at home except for my rooftop terrace. That's why I can tell you that it wont work with motion sensors only. At least not in every room.
Bathroom for example works fine. Turns on by motion, turns off after 3 minutes of no motion OR directly when motion in detected in another room (I gladly live alone).
Kitchen works exactly the same (I don't eat there, cooking only). Turn on by motion sensor, turn off after 2 minutes of no motion OR motion in either living room or bathroom.
Bedroom is only motion sensor + timeout of 2 minutes because I only sleep there. No TV etc. My wardrobe has its own lights and as soon as I set an alarm on my android phone the lights turn off immediately (Tasker + Sharptools) and some other things happen. PC goes off if it was still on, shutters go down etc.
The Living room is something else. A motion sensor with a simple timeout wouldn't work. The way I do it is that I use a motion sensor for turning on with a timeout of 5 minutes. But additionally I defined some rules (Smartthings + Webcore) to disable the motion sensor completely if certain conditions are met. For example: If my PC is running, the motion sensor has no functionality. If it detects motion, it doesn't do anything. If 5 minutes pass, nothing happens. That way the light stays the way it was when I turned on my PC until I turn it off again. I may have to add that I use a Chrome Addon IF I want to control the lights from my PC.
Same goes for the TV. As long as my Media Center (Kodi on NVIDIA Shield) is actively playing something, the lights go off and the motion sensor gets disabled. When the media stops or is paused the lights come on in a predefined "cinema" mode - motion sensor stays off. So to speak the motion sensor is only enabled when the PC is off and no media is running on my media center.
Roof terrace is the only place I operate manually. I have a simple physical push button which works as a toggle. Push once = terrace mode on, push again = terrace mode off. I tried using motions sensors etc. but I never found a satisfying solution for that place.
Edit: Oh, and for those wondering what happens when friends come over. Will everyone sit in the dark if one of the group goes to the toilet and triggers a motion sensor? No. As soon as one of my friends connects to my Wifi Smartthings recognizes their phone and goes into "Friends Mode". Simply put that mode disables the "immediately turn off light when motion is detected in room XY"-rules and the "if PC is running then yadda yadda yadda"-rule.
I'm not certain, but it sounds like something Tasker can handle.
If you have an android phone or tablet you should be able use a combination of the tasker, autoinput and autovoice apps to directly give voice control of the LG app. The tasker and autovoice & autoinput apps are paid but are very cheap. The autovoice app can also integrate with alexa but I have not tried it so I don't know the details.
tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Autoinput: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autoinput
Autovoice: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autovoice
Use Tasker to do most of this. Have launching Sync as a trigger and then a profile with wait and a toast or kill app command after so much time has passed. I believe you can also "lock" apps to only be launched within a certain time frame. There are tutorials around the internet to help you learn to do all sorts of things with Tasker.
Edit: play store link
You need to use an app that can automate tasks. Tasker is the most common one, but it can have a learning curve. I prefer MacroDroid but there are tons of alternatives.
What I would do is set a condition that when your phone connects to a specific bluetooth device (your car), then launch VLC. Then perhaps create another task that's the opposite - when disconnect from your car, close VLC. It's a simple task to create, it's just a matter of which app you use to set it up with.
It is android only though and has a learning curve. The basic thing like I mentioned are quite easy though.
The possibilities are endless. Some people have automated there whole house with it think off the lights in there home turning on when they connect to wifi withing a certain timeframe.
My pc gets a LAN wake when I connect to wifi. Those things go pretty deep, but it is lots of fun when you get it working.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I know you'll never switch to Android, but any time you talk/complain about workflow, I think of the automation app Tasker. It can do everything you've complained about that Workflow doesn't do, including interacting with other devices and computers. Myke already joined the PC master race, join the Android master race too!!!!
Tasker Automation for your phone. Works with a lot of different apps, a more in depth IFTTT With a little bit of a learning curve, you can make your phone do all sorts of things. It's one of the few paid apps that I use on my phone. Helpful subreddit to get you started. I've used it to turn on my wifi when I get home, set vibrate at certain hours, randomize my notification sounds for SMS and email, disable lockscreen when home or connected to my car's bluetooth, tell me my bank balance when I tap my wallet (NFC tag), find my car in a parking lot, and take a photo + upload to google drive when I double tap my screen. I can't recommend this app enough.
Besides Tasker, Llama and IFTTT, there are many other automation apps out there. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, so give them all a try until you find the perfect one for you. Some other popular ones are MacroDroid, Automate, AutomateMagic, AutomateIt and AutoSet.
Have you already tried Tasker or similar apps? I've had mixed luck with them: some things automate very well, others are like pulling teeth because the intents are not exposed to do what I can through the UI
Como no sé nada de programación más allá de MATLAB pregunto: alguno usa Tasker en Android? Es del estilo si esto pasa, hacé esta cosa y después esta otra a no ser que esta variable no sea 0 en cuyo caso hacé esta otra cosa durante 20 minutos.
Yo lo uso hace añares para algunas quality of life boludeces y es una de las cosas que me costaría dejar si me pasara a iOS. Cosas como apagar el WiFi cuando salgo de casa, agitar el teléfono para mandar el brillo al mango, arrancar la música en el momento en que me conecto al Bluetooth del auto, etc. Esas son cosas chotas pero la gente hace de todo.
Es paga y la curva de aprendizaje es un poco brava pero con un poco de maña sale y hay millones y millones de recursos online, desde tips básicos hasta rutinas ya listas para importar.
You can do this and much more with Tasker, have a look into that if you want to delve even deeper into remote commands via SMS.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
You can do this with an automation app: Tasker, AutoMagic, AutoMate, or MacroDroid. Here it is in MacroDroid.
An automaton app (Tasker, AutoMagic, or AutoMate) can do this, as you already noted.
Run in background, on boot, assign it to a widget or quick tile… whatever. Play a sound, trigger the flash, light up the screen, send GPS coordinates, etc. Trigger every ten minutes, upon receiving a text, if you don't dismiss a notification, etc.
Or, just use "Okay, Google"?
So first download Tasker and Autotools
Then use ADB to provide Autotools the proper permissions.
Then in Tasker make a Profile (I called mine Display state off) -> State->Display->Display State-> off.
Action 1: Plugin-> Autotools->Secure Settings->Configuration->Display-> Full immersive mode (or any of the other ones, that's just the one i do)-> disable->hit the back button->check mark-> back arrow -> back arrow
Then repeat but with display state on and enable.
Hope this helps.
Edit: Spelling/formatting
This is how I did it. Hope it helps some of you.
*1) Introduction & prerequisite *
The main downsides are:
Prerequisite
You need to have a PC, Mac, linux PC or a Pi running Home Assistant permanently turned on and connected to the internet. Again, this is something I already had. I've written up how to set this up for Windows in the past, [link removed as reddit doesn't allow it!]. - try iamhomegooglehome dot blogspot dot co dot uk
2) Get free webspace
I code in PHP (not very well!), for a section of this it requires PHP so you need some webspace with PHP and cURL enabled. I have found a highly recommended provider called 000webhost.com - I've only been using it 2 days but they were recommended to me elsewhere.
Sign up to there or anywhere else that has PHP and cURL enabled, confirm your email etc and remember the URL you were given for step 3.
3) Android Apps
Before we create the fist step, we need to install 2 Android apps which we need data from. 1) Tasker, buy it from the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
2) Auto Remote (tasker plugin), buy it from the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autoremote
AutoRemote
Tasker
Warning: Tasker is not very user friendly!
4) IFTTT part 1
5) Website
Now we need to insert PHP that will take you location and change it into something easy to understand. I've written a script which you can download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dXXl-PuGRcvp4X312mHYEVJF79T8WdK5/view?usp=sharing
Open the script in Notepad++ or similar.
You need to edit lines 20, 25, 26, 32 & 85
20) Go to Google and get an API key from here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start?csw=1#get-a-key, once you have a key, add it to the URL
25) Insert the latitude and longitude of where your Google Home is, use a site like this: https://www.latlong.net/
26) Go to Google and get a different API key, this time from here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/get-api-key
32) You need your Webhooks key from IFTTT which you can find here: https://ifttt.com/services/maker_webhooks/settings, it provides you with a URL, the key is at the end after /user/
85) Customise what you want Google Home to say but leave in the variables that begin with $
If you used 000webhost then you can visit here: https://files.000webhost.com/ and sign in, ensure you are in "public_html" on the left. in the top right choose "upload files" and upload index.php that you just edited (and saved!)
6) The final IFTTT
7) We're done
So, it's done, I'm guessing not many of you are left at this point as most gave up straight away :D
Here's what we've achieved:
You say "hey google, where's dad?"
That uses IFTTT to send a web request to AutoRemote which uses your key to forward it to your device. This is then picked up by Tasker which forwards your location to the URL you setup. The URL takes your location, using Google API returns a friendly street and town name, then using another API works out how far that is in miles and time (with current traffic conditions too). It creates a phrase, passes this back to IFTTT which pushes the phrase to Home Assistant on your computer which tells Google Home to play using Text To Speech.
Simple.
Hope this has been some help to you!
Install Tasker and maybe AutoInput. Have it disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth every morning at like 1pm.
Or buy an OTG cable and print over USB and forget Bluetooth all together.
If you want the simplest and easiest solution, try Autoset.
You can do this with Tasker or MacroDroid.
Tasker can probably do that.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Tasker: Allows many different kinds of tasks to be automated based on certain conditions, I always have portrait mode on, but I have Tasker set to turn it off when I open YouTube, camera, etc. I also have it set to turn my brightness up when I open the camera and back down when I close it. Has a bit of a learning curve though.
Dactyl: Allows you to take a picture by putting your finger on the fingerprint sensor. I think it just updated to let it work in any app that uses the camera. It's a really nice QoL improvement.
Solid explorer: Just a very nice file explorer.
Another tip: idk if it's on by default (if not, it's in the settings), but you can move the cursor by sliding your finger along the spacebar and delete multiple words by sliding your finger left starting at the backspace button. And about light manager, go to the app, advanced settings, set "App notification" to "Do not show"
You can try using a different automation app (Tasker, AutoMagic, Automate). For me, all three of those consistently performed this action in half a second or less, while MacroDroid lagged sometimes. AutoMagic was the quickest, but it's not free. AutoMate took a hair longer, but it's free.
Or, if you want to stay with MacroDroid, you could use something like Jina, as an app will launch quicker than a Nova action.
Just signed back into this account. I ended up creating an app that simulates the back button press using Tasker and its plugin App Factory. I then assigned it to the active key(or whatever the top left key is called). I was never able to find a replacement button, but this works pretty well. It's a lot easier than it sounds. Doesn't take five minutes to do.
How to make app and assign to active key:
You should check out Tasker, you can do almost anything you can imagine with it, and it's pretty easy to create tasks on the fly once you get used to it. I highly recommend Tasker for any android user.
Sadely this is true. I just added the tasker project xml so everyone can check the source, modify it and use it without having to install anything (you need the tasker app tho: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm )
Use Tasker to sync.
Sync has a Tasker plugin just for this.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a7aqdr948gptm8q/Battery_S7.tsk.xml?dl=0
Anyone else: You need this paid app, and an understanding how to find the files, how to fix the task for your S7. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
you can use Tasker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en
What you can do is create a profile that scans if a message matches with a given string and can create an alarm,notification and all sorts of things with it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
It's kinda like IFFTT, but WAY more complex and intuitive. It takes a lot ow form, but it's worth it at the end. You can automate lots of things, although I never tried Snapchat.
Do you know what Tasker is?
https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
You can do it with Tasker. I just tested it. It took me 30 seconds to set it up. I now have a shortcut on my homescreen. I tap it, flashlight comes on. I tap it again, flashlight turns off. I can change the icon to anything I want.
If you do get Tasker, I can give a very easy quick guide on how to get the Flashlight toggle that you want.
it's a fantastic app that can do some much. It's my favorite app.
What happens if you hit the multitask navigation button during the ad? On 4.4, I get a list of windows (with titles) and I can longpress each and get an App info menu item which I can choose to see what app made the window appear. I don't know how that process works in 5.0 or above, but surely you can try.
Tasker doesn't have ads. If it did, it would need to be marked as such in its Google Play Store entry.
It is an app that allows you to do all sorts of customizations, although it isn't free (there may be free options). Found someone who figured out how to do it (fairly easy) https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/1u5voa/any_way_to_get_my_phone_to_vibrate_when_i_charge/
Tasker can be used to do this very easily. Tasker is an amazing app that can be used to do incredible things with your phone. It gives you near infinite control fo your device.
https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en
For example, here's my main uses for Tasker.
I have commonly used profiles like turn wifi off when I leave home, turn it on when I get to work etc. Turn my phone ringtone and notification volume down a little when I get to work, and crank it back up when I leave work.
Another I find useful is that when I'm at work, my Chrome shortcut opens up to my works's ticketing system page (which I use all day at work). When I'm not at work, the Chrome shortcut will open Google.
Another is that I plug my phone into charge on my bedside table when I go to bed. When the phone is charging, it automatically disables the notification LED, and disables AOD (so that no lights are lighting up the dark room). And enables them again when I unplug in the morning.
Another I have is that when I unlock my phone, if I have an outstanding notification from new SMS or email, it automatically expands the notification shade so that I can see them and have quick access to them.
Another is that when I have an appointment in my calendar (work Exchange account) that has specific keywords and it's set to "busy", it will mute the phone during the appointment times, but only when I'm at work. But this also excludes when the appointment has one of several particular titles, listed in the task.
One I'm proud of is when I dismiss my alarm in the morning (Gentle Alarm has Tasker support), wifi turns on, and once the phone has internet connection, it downloads a weather forecast xml file from a website, then parses the day's max temp from the xml, as well as a short forecast description, and then speaks the days forecast and max temp to me in a Scottish accent that I bought from the Play store (I'm a Scotsman living in Australia, hence Scozzie). This one took a lot of tweaking, using Foldersync to download the file using FTP, and then using the "variable split" command to pull the relevant data from the xml file.
I think everybody with a S3 but not a Samsung phone has this problem. One of the few solutions I know of, is to use Tasker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm) and a plugin called "Secure Settings" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin).
Open tasker and click the "TASKS" tab
Click the + at the bottom right and give the task a name such as "Connect Car Audio"
Click the + at the bottom right and select Plugin - Secure Settings
Click the Pencil icon at the right of configuration and select Actions - BT Connection
On the drop down select your vehicle
Press the CONNECT/DISCONNECT button so it displays CONNECT
Press the floppy disk icon to the right of BT Connection
Click the < at the top left next to the tasker icon. You have now configured the task!
Now to create the profile (or the trigger that will run the tasks):
Click the profiles tab
Click the + at the bottom right and select state
Select Net and the BT Near
Click the magnifying glass on the right of Name and select your car bluetooth system. If you prefer you can select the address rather than name.
Select the option "Standard devices"
Click the < at the top left next to the tasker icon.
You will now see a list of tasks to choose. Choose the connect car audio task (or whatever you named it).

I built a full on HA interface on my old moto360 i could tap which room from a list, then all the devices int hat room were in a list that could be tapped to toggle on/off. I was also able to use autovoice along with my moto360 that gave me the ability to do things like say "ok google, turn the living room and dining room lighs off".
Are you able to trigger multiple events in 1 command with this method?
Im not trying to sound arrogant but i just feel like i had a lot more going on with my 1st gen moto360 than i can see in the video.
EDIT: Just in case you want help finding the apps i used for my project it was

You can definitely do this on Tasker.
You won't need to open any app, it's an automation/actions program that is highly customizable. You can find a NFC tutorial on Google or ask for help on r/tasker
edit: quick search yielded a combination of using Trigger with Tasker to achieve your desired function.
The majority are done using tasker, except for the weight one which uses IFTTT and the dice and daily briefing ones which use google assistant.
Oh, and the last one uses a combination of spotify, tasker and sleep as android
If you'd like more specifics on how I made my rules, let me know.
It might be possible with tasker
I don't know if it would work, but try Tasker, it's an automation app
I'm 60 and active on r/tasker for two reasons: firstly I'm interested in what can be done with a phone for my own and others' PD, and secondly because I fear cognitive decline and programming might hold it off the way physical exercise does.
In a nutshell Tasker lets you program your phone, and you don't need to know conventional programming to use it (although it helps)
EDITS: typos.
Here is an answer I made a few months ago on another site.
There are simply tons of paid apps worth the money. I've bought and used all of these. Here are a few I think are particularity great. (At least great to me.)
Tasker - Android Apps on Google Play (Probably the best app out there. If you've ever said “I wish my phone would…” then get this)
Floating Apps (multitasking) - Android Apps on Google Play (If you ever wished android was a bit better at multitasking)
Runtastic PRO Running, Fitness - Android Apps on Google Play (I like it, but I got it on sale. Not significantly better than the free ones though.)
AIDE Premium Key - Android Apps on Google Play (If you do Android development then this lets you get starting developing a new app on your phone. It amazing that I can think of a new app idea on the road and just be able to start it then and there.)
Cubescape 3D Live Wallpaper - Android Apps on Google Play (My favorite live wallpaper.)
Mupen64Plus AE (N64 Emulator) - Android Apps on Google Play (The best N64 emulator. Best console ever made.)
Moon+ Reader Pro - Android Apps on Google Play (Best Epub reader by far. Also very customizable.)
FolderSync - Android Apps on Google Play (Great for auto backup to the cloud! Its pretty awesome! Free version exists also but its a bit limited. Worth the money if its something you’ll use.)
Easy Voice Recorder Pro - Android Apps on Google Play (Easy to use. Perfect for recording classes, since It can cut out silences automatically.)
Sleep as Android Unlock - Android Apps on Google Play (If you want better sleep then get this. Considering how long we sleep every day its worth every penny.)
WolframAlpha - Android Apps on Google Play (The app is basically the web version plus an amazing keyboard. If you do math then its worth the money. Otherwise just use WolframAlpha in your phones browser.)
Genius Scan+ - PDF Scanner - Android Apps on Google Play (Useful in college if your professor wants digital copies of your work. Cheaper than buying a scanner. Works better too.)
Beautiful Widgets Pro - Android Apps on Google Play (If you like widgets)
Games: None of these are pay to win. None are designed to force you to buy in app purchases just to continue. Just straightforward fun games.
Bloons TD 5 - Android Apps on Google Play(best TD game there is)
Tasker is an app for android that allows you to automate many things on your phone.
It's quite in depth, and I'm not entirely sure how to share profiles, but I have a profile that is set to listen for when I connect or disconnect to my home WIFI network.

How much functionality do you need?
If you have a few bucks and time to spend (DIY solution), I'd recommend a combo of Tasker and AutoHue. You can create your own interface.
Pros: Tasker can be used for many more things, you're doing it yourself
Cons: AutoHue is limited. No scenes support. Far less aesthetically pleasing. Gotta create it yourself, no nice colour picker
EDIT: Just realized you've mentioned AutoHue already - I'm getting maybe a max of 1s lag when controlling Lifx, weird
IFTTT alone certainly could not do this, however with Tasker + IFTTT you could use logic based on whether or not you are connected to your home wireless network or not. You would need.
The logic could be cleaned up a little and I know this is far from writing the actual Tasker recipe. Also, the reason you probably still want to use IFTTT is because your phone is acting as the logic to determine whether or not you are home and IFTTT will work with your bulbs whether or not you are on your local network.
OP, if you don't already use Tasker then you should look into it
Tasker can do this, along with a million other things.
As thevigilante420 mentioned, Tasker is the app that can accomplish what you're looking for. To illustrate: I have a profile that does the following:
If I get a call or SMS whenever I'm busy (e.g., Google Calendar event is currently going on and set to "busy"), record that number, and reply back with an SMS message (e.g., "Busy at the moment, I'll be available in 27 minutes, when my meeting is over")
You can set custom parameters, such only run for specific contact numbers, custom messages based on certain numbers, read of your Google Calendar events, etc.
However, there is a learning curve for this app. As a long time user of this app, I can guarantee it will not be doable in 10 minutes, unless you have scripting or basic programming knowledge. But, if you're serious about creating this feature, I can point you in the right direction.
As /u/sid32 already said "Tasker", there you have tons of options, also to open files like Text files, sort and search&replace and much more. There are also a lot of addons for Tasker, like AutoTools, which adds even more features to Tasker ;)
If you have Android, Tasker is GREAT for this (and about a million other things: /r/tasker)
As far as I know there is no app for this purpose, but this can be easily achieved on a rooted phone using Tasker and AutoWear.
You could create a task that locks the phone and runs a command to wipe the phone data in a shell, which as far as I know only works with rooted phones, probably also with USB debugging enabled.
Creating a shortcut in AutoWear to trigger this task would allow you to remotely wipe your phone from your watch. This might sound like much work, but actually should be possible to setup in just a few minutes; be careful when debugging, though, or you might wipe everything accidentally. ;)
> Get full control over automated tasks
what does this mean?
I just 30 min ago installed tasker for the first time... do they mean something similar?
Tasker will allow you to this (and practically anything). But it may not be what you're looking for.
You can setup a reminder notification to trigger when you pair with your car's bluetooth. But it's not going to be an easy app-based reminder. You'd most likely use this to remind you to do something repeatedly. For example, "Did you take your work notebook from the office?".
But for custom, one-time reminders, location-based reminders will probably be the best option. I use TickTick and often set a reminder to stop for milk or make a call on the way home. I can set a "when I leave" my work location reminder.
Then you can use the tasker app from the play Store and set up your default app to open while connected to your car Bluetooth.

I use it to play Spotify every time and it always works.
this might help
No one has one, and no one will make one (at least intentionally). There's a good reason for this. Discord has ratelimits, and no one likes spam. To get to your 50,000 goal, it would take 50,000 seconds, which is around 14 hours of constant spam. This will, most likely, get you banned from the platform.
If you want to see 50,000 notifications on your phone and are using Android, you can use Tasker to make a loop that creates notifications infinitely. You'll probably crash your SystemUI in the process.
With Tasker, you could invoke <code>ContentResolver.setMasterSyncAutomatically()</code> to enable/disable syncing "behind the scenes", which does indeed bypass the nagging dialog. What's more, here's a simple Task that does the toggling automatically whenever your Wi-Fi state changes.
You could use Tasker (or any automation app that can use Tasker plug ins) and Notification Centre.

Create a task that enables Outlook notification during business hours, then disables them outside business hours.
Have you looked at Tasker? It's a lot more powerful than IFTTT for on phone tasks.
Hmm, I would look into Tasker. I have heard of people using Tasker for making triggers on RPI home projects. You can find Tasker in the Play Store. Though I do not know what you are looking to start with or what sort of home projects you have in mind, I would start by learning Tasker. You can learn to use it extensively through the many great user generated guides you can find with a simple Google Search! Good luck!
When will Tasker go on sale ?
I use cloudmqtt for off network location reporting. This way I'm not having to set up a duckdns....though I will at some point.
As for apps. Tasker paired with the MQTT Publisher plugin and HTTP Post does everything I need from the phone side. I use tasker to send my location via mqtt when my phone disconnects from my car bluetooth. When on network, my phone still does MQTT things, but some tasks I use HTTP Post since they are only needed to run when I'm home.
If you want a nice little dashboard on your phone, MQTT Dash is a nice app for sending mqtt triggers and receiving statuses from HA.
I recommend watching BRUH's videos they are thorough and well done. I'd say about 98% of what I stated above was learned from his videos.
Edit: added in links to make life a little easier
You might be able to rig something up using a combination of IFTTT and Tasker/AutoRemote/Send & Expect (since IFTTT doesn't support TP-Link smart plugs right now). The logic would go something like this
"Alexa, turn off my christmas lights in 30 minutes"
V
When Alexa's timer goes off (using the timer going off as the IF in the IFTTT Recipe)
V
Send a Maker channel request to your phone's AutoRemote URL
V
React to the specific message in Tasker by setting up a profile that looks for the message
V
In the profile's task use the Send & Expect Tasker Plugin, following these instructions to send the signal to your TP-Link to turn off.
If you need any instructions on how to integrate AutoRemote with IFTTT these instructions are very detailed and helpful.
Sure thing. I'm doing this without testing step-by-step, so let me know if you have any problems.
1) install Tasker (to run Profiles/Tasker posted below), AutoNotification (to allow Tasker to place notification tile in Android 7), and AutoApps (I use this to send commands between Tasker and AutoNotification) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autoappshub
2) enable Tasker if installing it for the first time (long-press the in-app icon in the upper left corner to toggle color/gray, watch for a toast message)
3) download my Project from https://www.dropbox.com/s/qisft1flfrsurad/CFL.prj.xml?dl=0 and import it to Tasker (skip to 2:40 in video) http://www.pocketables.com/2013/05/how-to-import-tasksprofilesscenesprojects-into-tasker.html
4) once imported, open Tasker, go to the Tasks tab at the top, tap "AN Night Toggle On" and then tap the little play icon in the bottom left of the screen to run the task once. running the task manually should make the tile appear for the first time, and after that you can toggle from the tile only.
As requested, the above Project I made was for a simple enable filter/disable filter for cf.lumen. It's a simplified version of an existing Project I had for myself, which toggles between automatic filter + Priority and red light filter + DND for when I use my phone in bed at night.
Hopefully this will also get you more interested in Tasker as well (check out r/tasker for more). There are so many things you can do with it after you get past the somewhat steep learning curve.
Maybe you could use tasker to only turn on BT on your phone when it needs to communicate with the band (e.g. incoming calls, notifications) like suggested in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/miband/comments/58j6fz/mi_band_2_func_has_tasker_integration_why_the/d91qq4o/
Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I'll honestly say that I don't know how to accomplish this with a Pi - I'm sure it can be done - but it could be done with Tasker on the Android phone.
For the example scenarios you mention, I'd highly suggest getting Tasker
It is the most powerful automation tool for Android devices. I've been using it for years and still discover new ways to use it on a regular basis!
"Day one" or not, I know it'll be leaps and bounds smoother than my current M8.
I keep 3 or 4 services running in the background at all times (Tasker, Twilight, GSam and Gravity Screen). These all add critical value to my Android experience, but it's looking like a couple of them may be replaced by new functionality in Nougat. My M8 has serverd admirably, but the Pixel will be a solid upgrade for me.
I'm so pumped to get my Pixel later this month!
Or Tasker
Tasker - it's one example of the key differences between the android and iphone experience. It's an automation tool that enables you to do a hell of a lot of things.
Here's a thread with many examples
/r/tasker will help to get you started
I would suggest downloading Tasker. I use Tasker every day, for me the only thing Tasker does is: When I get into my car in the morning, and my phone's bluetooth connects to the car's bluetooth, the phone automatically starts playing music and with that, I have Tasker turn my phone volume all the way up (and keep it that way).
I'm sure if you download Tasker you'd be able to have it set so that when you plug in headphones into the phone, Tasker will make sure that the volume is set at a regular level and make sure it doesn't turn off.
Tasker is a paid app, but I'm sure you can find and download an APK file from somewhere ;)
While I've given it some thought, I just can't switch over to iPhone mostly because of Tasker. I've spent so much time and effort crafting my profiles and tasks that my experience on Android is unique, clever, and time saving. This type of customization and freedom for creativity isn't anywhere near available on iPhone.
Another reason is emulation. Lately I've been pining for more classic, no-wi-fi-necessary, non-IAP style gaming which isn't widely available in either Google or Apple's app stores. With the magic of Android and questionable morals, the entire backlog of high-quality handheld and older console games is available to me. I can play anywhere, with or without the use of a bluetooth or OTG controller (which enhances the experience a LOT when it's available).
Not to mention custom launchers, icon packs, deeper integration with Google services, TONS of devices and experiences to choose from. I get why some people choose iPhones, and more power to them. My personality and sense of creativity thrives on Android though.
I'm still frustrated with Google/Andoird sometimes, but it'll take a lot for me NOT to buy a Pixel this year.
This should theoretically be possible with Tasker and an exit task or two. I'm not sure about the sound part(never gone about having a notification sound automated myself before) but I have stuff automated on my phone when it disconnects from Bluetooth, so it's definitely possible.
Now, my question is, which would you prefer: When you leave your home's WiFi, or connect to your cars Bluetooth? Both are easily doable. For me, personally, I don't disconnect from my house's WiFi until once I'm down the street from my house, so depending upon what you are reminding yourself what to do, that may or may not be ideal.
EDIT: Link to app. Unfortunately, the app is not free, nor is there a free or trial version(that I'm aware of, anyway) but for me, anyway, the price is well worth it for everything I automate with it
If you are willing to purchase the app, let me know via a reply here and I can do a full write-up(reply) on how to do what you want when I wake up tomorrow.
Again, I should say I've never used Tasker to play a sound before, but I don't see why it shouldn't work. Someone can correct me, and I apologize if it ends up not working, but I'm assuming it will.
Tasker is what you're looking for. There's a bit of a learning curve, but the Tasker wiki should help.
Tasker phone automation for android.
Comes with loads of settings & options, but basically lets you set your phone to do little things automatically. Like switching ringtone to silent if you've got a music player running or bluetooth headphones connected.
I would have to say Tasker for sure, I guarantee you can uninstall most of your apps after you get the hang of using tasker.
Tasker! ! Não consigo mais imaginar o Android sem.
Automatiza tudo. Não precisa de root pra quase nada.
You could create a Tasker profile for this. Tasker can do a lot more as well. You can also set it to turn off mobile data when you launch the app, if you want that. Tasker Userguide
I've actually accomplished this using Tasker, AutoInput and AutoLaunch
Basically, how it works is you make a call through the stock dialer, AutoInput ends the call by simulating you tapping the End Call button. Simultaneously, Tasker sets your clipboard to the number you just dialed, and AutoLaunch opens up Hangouts Dialer. AutoInput then simulates you pasting the number into the Hangouts Dialer and pressing the Call button.
For incoming calls, I use Secure Settings with root to immediately end the call, then AutoLaunch the Hangouts Dialer and repeat all the above. Or, you can also use AutoInput to again simulate the End Call button press as well, if you're not rooted. What's cool is that you can program Tasker to only do this whole thing if you're not connected to a WiFi access point. If you are, it ignores that you're making a call since chances are Fi will use WiFi Calling already on its own.
I know it's not ideal, and frankly it's a bit convoluted, but it works pretty well if you're, say, doing handsfree commands, or using a Direct Dial shortcut or something. Or if you still want to use the stock dialer to make calls, like I do.
If you want to be extra careful you could use an app called Tasker which will allow you to set ringtone volume to max every time a phone call comes through, or from a certain person etc. Tasker is more advanced than the average user would go for but it really unlocks the power of your phone and the freedom of Android.
If you think you may want to root (like jailbreaking, but better) your phone then you may wish to unlock your bootloader before setting the phone up as it does wipe the phone. Guides are readily available online. Another good thing for new Android users is Google Opinion Rewards if it works in your country - free Play Credit.
On android I use an app called Tasker that toggles rotate screen for certain apps (default off, turns on for snapchat and youtube). Somewhat simple to set up, and the app has other features that can be very useful.
If you are on Andorid this would be more easily achived using Tasker. Check out /r/tasker for more information
Probably with Tasker, there's another free app called ITTT (if this then that) but is more focused on social stuff and smart devices, Tasker it's the most complete one but not that simple at first sight
You can make it trigger every 1hour using the Date/Time channel. If you had an android instead of an ipad you could use Tasker to achive this.
The APK itself is available here: http://m.downloadatoz.com/apps/com.motorola.contextual.smartrules2,897720/
However, it is very likely to require some APKs that are device specific.
Some of the features you're looking for are available with Tasker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm) Would that meet your needs?
I use Tasker app for that.
There I created a profile which will be invoked when specific apps for example the camera app start. It will put the phone in "do not disturb" mode as long as I'm in one of the selected apps.
Tasker is a really nice app which allows you to automate almost any aspect of your device, highly recommended :)
Yeah, I really want one of those apps, too. It'd be great if there was one with feedly support. I found a workaround, but it's kind of convoluted. I use IFTTT to send a command to Tasker through AutoRemote. Then, I use MyTimeline to push the item to my Pebble's timeline.
But if you don't care about getting it in the timeline, then you can just install the IF app and have it send you a notification.
I've given up on using the built-in weather sources, and have worked around it using Tasker.
Every 15 minutes I have Tasker:
It's not simple, but it's a reliable weather source, and has worked well for me
Watchmaker devs: if you want to use Forecast IO directly in the app, here's the page with info about implementing it: https://developer.forecast.io/
Seeing as how Fi is integrated into the OS, I'd really love to see the whole system realize that you're integrated into Hangouts and therefore all SMSes are coming and going from this app. Then when a message "via Project Fi" in Hangouts comes in, the system recognizes this fact and properly treats them as SMS messages and not Hangouts messages.
Let me try to clarify: Google Now command for "read me my last text message" fails because technically I don't have any SMS messages; they're all in Hangouts via Fi integration. However, with what I'm proposing above, the OS would know I have Fi integration enabled in Hangouts, and would therefore read me my last "via Project Fi" message I received on there.
Also, as a side effect: because it'd be treating all "via Project Fi" messages as actual SMS messages, any app designed to respond to regular incoming SMS messages would fire off and work like normal. A couple of apps that come to mind that do this are Tasker and Touchless Chat
I think it varies. I listen to mostly podcasts in the car, and music at home. An occasionally when I connect to my car, Google Play Music starts playing again.
In the past, I used Tasker to do this automatically. I set it to disconnect wifi close google play music and start pocketcasts, then i just had to press play.
1) AutoReply for Whatsapp (Hopefully will be added in next release to Watusi) :) (It would he good if he adds Variable function, Eg: Reply will be able to contain Recipient name)
2) Tweak to Copy text content of Notification directlt by Activator action (without opening the notification)
3) Log Worng Passcodes entered Details here
4) FakeCode Screen (Fake Passcode screen on first swipe, Real one on second swipe)
5) A tweak similar to an Android app Tasker (I know workflow is there but it lacks much functions, Activator can do most of this but a tweak synchronized like Tasker will be awesome)
7) Tweak for functionality of Link Bubble (Not the complete Browser type app, but just a tweak that will open links in bubble Globally)
8) One more, if something like this will be possible, I never found any alternative for something like this Zikk
If it's a matter of having the GPS running while you're at work or walking around the mall, you can set up something like Tasker to turn on the GPS when Android Auto launches and then turn it off when AA closes. Battery life shouldn't be an issue, since AA requires that you plug in the phone for it to work.
Seeing as you're on Android, you should look into Tasker and the Bluetooth Auto Connect Plugin. It's not free, but it plays very, very nicely with IFTTT.
Seems like something Tasker should be able to do.
I'd post this question on /r/tasker.
I bet you'll get a solution there.
Have you tried Tasker? I have several shortcuts on my home screen to direct dial different people.
You can do this using Tasker, AutoVoice and AutoInput. Yes, you'll need all three.
AutoVoice allows you to implement custom voice commands. AutoInput is used to simulate touch events. Tasker is the app that ties everything together.
Check this for an brief intro : http://www.pocketables.com/2013/07/how-to-emulate-touch-input-using-tasker-and-root.html
The developer's website has all the tutorials you'll need http://joaoapps.com/autoinput http://joaoapps.com/autovoice
If you need further assistance in setting this all up, I'd suggest you hit up /r/Tasker :)
PS: If this answers your query, please reply with "Solved". Thanks!
As far as #2 goes, maybe see if you can get anywhere with the Arduino/ST Shield. I'm not that knowledgeable on how, but I'm sure there's a way. This weekend I'll think about how to solve #1, however maybe can have some luck with the Tasker Android App. You can use SharpTools for integration.
Quick guide. LMK if you need further help or pictures.
Requirements: Tasker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en
AutoVoice (Pro version avaiable too) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autovoice&hl=en
Pokemon BGM (google is your friend!)
Tasker Steps:
In tasker, create a new "Event" profile of "Autovoice Recognize". It's Event > Plugin > Autovoice > Recognized (or use the filter/search button)
Press the pencil icon next to Configuration
Type in the "Command Filter" or "Speak Filter". EX: "let's battle" This is the phrase that will activate the BGM.
Create a new task linked to the profile.
Use filter to find "Music Play" action and add it to the task.
File > Magnifying Glass > Browse for your BGM file
Open the AutoVoice app.
Turn on AutoVoice Continuous
STOP PLAYING MUSIC:
So your music will stop playing when you lock the screen.
Your phone will now listen for your phrase and play a BGM when it picks it up.
Step 9a. Because autovoice continous drains your battery, you can use the "Autovoice Recognize Widget" on your launcher screen.
Other activation methods: GPS location (play a town BGM from your home), time of day, etc. Play around with tasker; it's amazing!
If you dont mind spending a few dollar i would recommend this.
It hasn't been said yet, but Tasker belongs on every list like this. Because
I'm too lazy to hit play every time I connect my phone to my car stereo.
I'm too tired to get up now, and Tasker will set a backup alarm if I'm still in bed, and stay silent if I'm on my way.
My hands are full and I'm in a hurry, so I'll get Tasker to set my phone to silent when I get to school or work.
If I'm sitting in a concrete, windowless, cell serviceless box anyways, I may as well have Tasker turn off the cell radio to save battery life.
If I'm driving, I'll get curious if my phone vibrates. So I'll just have Tasker read aloud who messaged me and what they said.
Here is a guide i posted a while ago. Copy/ paste.
Use a Pebble Smartwatch as your controller (Android Only)
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you guys know that I figured out a way to emulate a screen press on a pebble smartwatch. I recently got a Homido HMD which does not have a magnetic switch so it was kind of annoying to use cardboard apps with it. With this new fix, it is super convenient and easy and always on hand. Lets get started.
Needed:
Steps:
I hope that is clear. Any questions let me know!
https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleCardboard/comments/33prn6/use_a_pebble_smartwatch_as_your_controller/
Came here to say Tasker!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_GB
There's a tasker subreddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker
Some of these are enabled with Tasker. Like the volume settings and screen off.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I couldn't live without it any more. I also use it to set a kind of "quiet hours", like the feature that Cyanogenmod has, where it automatically sets the ringer volume to half during certain hours.
If you haven't used Tasker, I'd really recommend it, but first maybe watch some YouTube tutorials on it that really make look more accessible.
Tasker is excellent for something like this! I have a profile set up to do the very thing you're talking about for a variety of other apps.
Tasker costs money, but you may also be able to do something like this with llama or IFTTT.
FWIW, my tasker profile is set up to trigger when a given app is running and changes the display timeout to some absurd number. Then I have an exit task configured which switches it back to 15 seconds, my default.
If you are willing to spend $3, you can automate all sorts of things on your phone.
I got it a few years ago to lock my phone when I disconnected from the home WiFi and to manage a DnD system that told most people I was busy and would respond soon but also allowed whomever I specified to be able to un-silence my phone if an emergency arose.
uBlock Origin is great for blocking ads in your browser. Many custom ROMS have built in add block, though. Like adaway.
I would definitely root. There are a few easy workarounds for using Android Pay (disabling that app from SuperSU is one, another uses Tasker I think).
Rooting has a lot of advantages (one being custom ROMs), Xposed Framework is like an add on that gives you even more control over the whole OS.
Must have app is **Tasker. For me it is the one app that allows you to truly take full advantage of the power Android.
An absolute must is checking out the custom ROMS and tweaks you can do over at XDA-Developers.
I've never used Tasker, but maybe this is something that can be more easily achieved with that.
Money in some cases, location for others, and distractions everywhere else.
For larger goals I have, like relocating to a newer city or traveling money is an issue, I have good savings but I can only use it sparingly, right now it's main use is for emergencies, plane tickets, and for my inevitable relocation that I've been planing for over a year now.
The other issue I have that I think is more problematic is location, I live in a smallish town in S. Louisiana and I'm attempting to move out of state, but most employers don't want to hire an entry level employee with only 1 year of experience from out of state, even if I say I can and will pay for my relocation if I have to. In this case I have the money mostly issue under control (it's just not large enough yet) with maintaining a budget and depositing a fix amount of income into my savings each paycheck but the inconvenience of location... not so much.
For personal projects my biggest barrier is distractions, but I have taken measures to limit them. I've installed Tasker and Clockwork Tomato onto my phone with a tasker profile that immediately shuts off my access to reddit, facebook, twitter, and snapchat whenever Clockwork Tomato is running. I even simplified my home screen down to two pages, one for apps I need or use the most, and the other has my Calendar and Evernote widgets. Looks a bit like this now: Screen 1, Screen 2.
There are still plenty more issues I could work on to fulfill my goals, but these are a start.
Edit: A huge current issue I'm working on now is getting enough sleep. My work requires me to be there at 6am, and I live around 45 minutes away, and it takes me about an hour to wake up. Sooo this means I need to wake up at 4am everyday, as a night owl this is really hard. I take melatonin an hour before bed each night (9pm at the latest) and created a tasker profile to disable all distracting apps after 9pm every night. Occasionally I can get 7 hours a night, but mostly it has been 6 to 6.5 hours of sleep. Being sleepy all day is not fun.
You mean like Tasker, that lets you do things like set the phone silent if it's placed face-down?
Tasker, by far the best Android app (although complicated at 1st)= https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Trigger (simplified Tasker)= https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher
Llama (simplified Tasker)= https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kebab.Llama
You should check out Tasker, I'm sure it can do what you're wanting. There's also QuickClick.
If you're interested in doing stuff with your (android) phone, you should look into Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_GB
It doesn't really require any coding knowledge to get started - you build tasks that get triggered by events in a modular way. Plenty of tutorials out there too.
As for automating stuff, I use EventGhost running on a Windows VM, with an RFXTRX433 USB transceiver. That controls lights, movement sensors, doorbell and whatnot. EventGhost has a web server, so I use that to trigger various events from a HTTP GET request. Those requests can come from wherever - a phone, my XBMC boxes, IP cameras (motion detection [face recognition project?]) or whatever.
This might sound complicated, but I'm at least giving you stuff to Google if you are interested in doing this. :)
Have a look at tasker - might help you out! There is a free demo.
You guys gotta get on your tasker game
I have it set so that the screen is always locked, except when I am using either youtube, the camera, or photo gallery. Works perfectly. You can also do a million other cools things with it. It can be tricky, but guides are plentiful.
You should be able to do that with Tasker.
I've had entirely too much time on my hands
I put this together using Tasker
Download Tasker on your S6. You won't regret it.
Tasker should do the trick. If you want I can set a up a task that will do that for you.
I had made this wok with Tasker.
It may be possible with Tasker
If it is an Android you can get Taskerwhich will let you trigger tasks on various events, iirc one of them is on dock
Your referring to this right?

It does require a bit of fiddling, but nothing too extreme (if I can do it, I'm sure you could). You need to get Tasker and to add the variables yourself. I used this guide which was pretty easy to follow! If you want to have a go and get stuck, just shout and I'll try and repay the favour ;)
I finally bought Tasker for my android device. Time to play around with it.
if you want your phone to do a lot of stuff for you*, try Tasker
* - setting up Tasker is intimidating at first glance but once you get the hang of it you'll find it very, very powerful. check /r/tasker for some insight.
On android if you have the app tasker (which is paid) there is a free plugin that allows you to link the myo gestures to anything you could want to do on your phone. I've just started playing around with it myself, but it works pretty well for me.
There's also a music controlling app made by the devs.
I think you can achieve this with tasker
Use Tasker or MacroDroid
The only app called tasker I know is the automation app Tasker which is vastly different than a launcher
Unfortunately, Android 12 broke the adaptive refresh feature I implemented.

This is the first public release on Reddit. This is full of bugs. I ask for tests. Thanks. I'm at a maximum of 20%. The other 80% are yet to come. Updates will come. Whenever I have time. Please make sure to only name things that are not obvious. I'll fix everything else.
For automatic colors you need Tasker (only Android 13): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm

I use most * Tasker (an automation app) * Swiftbackup (to backup apps data) * Bundled Notes (kinda addictive notes)
Try this app, it let's you automate things based on triggers.
My method, FWIW, is to attach a small Bluetooth device to the bike (I have a speaker, but anything you can power on or off works). I have an Android phone with Tasker and GPSLogger, and I have a Tasker profile which starts logging when it connects to the specific Bluetooth device, and stops logging when it disconnect. It's a bit of a janky setup but it does record my rides pretty consistently without having to actually handle my phone.
I use Tasker for more advanced automation.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm this is it, right?
I use Tasker with AutoLocation. You can pick your location on a map, and then place a circle around it with the size of the diameter you want to be inside to trigger it. You can have it trigger when you're in the area, or not until you're inside the location, depending on the size of the circle.
I'm not sure how Huawei mate 30 autorotation works tbh but I had been looking for an app to automate autorotation in the past
The one that worked the better for me and I still use is Tasker
I seriously only bought this app for this purpose. I just created 2 profiles (autoOn and autoOff) and I chose the apps that triggers each one. AutoOff is usually my launcher so each time I close an app the autorotation deactivates. And depending on the app I use the autorotation activates with autoOn (like YouTube)
There were some apps that are easier to use but they stopped working from time to time or didn't work correctly in general. Tasker works just fine
Hope this helps you
Tasker for automation and Auto notification for quick tiles. The profiles are easy to create, you can check taskernet.com or r/tasker for help.

It's the first and best app that I found allows me to automate everything I need on my phone.
I use it together with Hue Pro and Turbo Alarm to turn on my lights in the bedroom when the alarm goes off. Excellent for waking up.

In addition to what others are saying, I'll throw out automation.
I've heavily utilized an application called Tasker. I've created custom sound profiles that changed depending on my location/which WiFi I'm connected to/which Car I'm in, pop up screens that let me quickly change any number of setting I want to add to it, etc
If there's not a prevuitl setting in Tasker, I can still change it by sending an Android Intent to that application, and I can find these intents by looking at the application manifest in Package Manager.
I don't believe you can do things like this with an iPhone
You can using Tasker
You could do this with Tasker.

If you have not used Tasker, it's def not the simplest/fastest answer. However, I would recommend learning about it since it can significantly enhance the capabilities of KLWP/KWGT. You can think of it as a business logic/API later to your Kustom UI.

It's an automation app, with a mostly text gui. It lets you write profiles which react to events or states, and actions to perform. It's quasi code like.
The text in my previous post is the exported description for how to write a task with two actions, one to enter the colour in hex as a variable, and the second to apply\activate it.
The first action isn't strictly necessary, you could enter the hex directly in the second action but it's easier to use and edit the way I've demonstrated it.
You could easily automate this with a Tasker profile. Tasker is an extremely powerful and flexible automation app, but it is not free.
Tasker might be able to do something similar to that.
Tasker - A well known automation app
Panels - Allows for panels that are accessible from the sides and bottom of the screen. Panels can hold apps, folders, shortcuts, websites, widgets, links to floating widgets, etc.
Rotation - Allows you to set the rotation of the screen based on which app is running, various events, or on demand (paid).
>- The integrated Flashlight-Tile should support the Glyphs-Interface. Right now the only way to make them all Glow is via the camera app.
You can actually toggle them on if you are rooted.
Can be done as a quick setting toggle via Tasker as well.
The funny thing is that the max brightness of Glyphs is higher on the black model by almost double. 1306 vs 3840 (out of 4095 possible values)
Meaning that your black phone will provide more light while the camera glyph is on.

Some Alternative Apps: Tasker, MacroDroid, Automate
I'm pretty sure you could use Tasker to do this. But it's overkill for sure and has a bit of a learning curve.
Tasker is a very popular one for Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_US&gl=US
(looping in /u/LG-Mobile )
It's a paid app on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
You can try their 7-day trial from the official website here.
There are free alternatives but none come close to Tasker IMO.
It does not require root, some (edge cases) might need root, but for the most part, you can automate pretty much anything without root access.
I assume you are not familiar with Tasker. If that seems a bit daunting, you could also try Tasky. I think you can install/use the beta for free. I think it's well worth $3.50. It's not just comprehensive, but many other automation apps hook into Tasker due to its popularity and strong community.
You will need to investigate "how to disable assistant hotword tasker routine" on your own and see which routine works for you. There may even be a pre-built one on Tasky.
I've been thinking about ways to disable the radio antenna in the Presto card, so that when you go to scan it, the scanner doesn't respond and thus making the driver think it's the reader and not your card that's at fault and get a free ride. My other thought is to use the NFC chips in most android cell phones to emit the "fair accepted beep-boop" tone when the phone is scanned. I've been playing with "Tasker" to do this but am having trouble getting the tone correct
I use Tasker 😁
If you have an android phone, I often use Tasker for stuff like this, really quick and easy to get use cases like this up and running
This is tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=nl&gl=US
it's a tool to execute actions triggered by events. ie. on boot open home.
I could take a look. Might be interesting.
There are apps you can install that can make other apps boot at start time.

If this is all you are trying to do then you might want to try using an app that allows you to automate stuff rather than learning a programming language to do it. A popular one is Tasker or you can use an open source one such as Easer. If you are using an apple phone that's going to be a lot harder since apple locks down their system so hard. I'd try IFTTT. Good luck!
Tasker is a (paid) automation app which could do that. You could try asking in /r/Tasker to find out how to do so.
You might be able to set something up with Tasker. It has a bit of a learning curve though
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I used to track my phone with the help of tasker. Tasker is a app that automates things on your phone.
I had it setup if a sms came in with the text 'whereismybaby' it would send me it's current data from wifi, Bluetooth and gps. I used this task and adapted it to my needs.
Now I run track phone on my self hosted Nextcloud. My phone sends it's location every 15 min or when requested. Can also let phone ring and/or show message.
Tasker kan alt som Bixby Routines kan samt en del mere, men det kræver lidt mere opsætning.

Sounds like something Tasker would do.

I've been using Tasker to create deep links to start Stadia games. Tasker is a very powerful (and fairly complex) tool and I am quite sure it would work for your launcher as well.
I use to use Tasker to send a sweet message to my girlfriend once my phone connected to the WiFi when I arrived at work.
Then I needed to take my car into the shop, and she offered to give me a ride to work. I wasn't two steps out of the car and she got the automated text message! I was busted.
Tasker - Automation extraordinaire.
Panels - Customizable panels for the side and bottom of your screen. Fill them with apps, shortcuts, widgets, links.
Edge Gestures - Trigger various things from the edges of the screen.
You may be able to set tasker up to do that, but it's a big learning curve. I've never been able to master it, but I never tried that hard either. Tasker
I've used Tasker for this.
Reviews say it’s a little more technical, but it accomplishes a lot of the same goals.
Try using Tasker with SecureTask. Or you can try MacroDroid instead of Tasker.
I always have my VPN on. Even when I am on my home WIFI.
I have been considering exploring the use of tasker to toggle my VPN off when I am home based on a few conditions. But its really not necessary for me. I dont see any speed difference.
I don't know quite how to google this so I thought I'd ask here. I want to be able to quickly take voices notes that get transcribed to text, which Google Keep can already do pretty well in a way I like.
However, using it involves unlocking my phone, finding the icon, opening it, clicking the little microphone button. Ideally I want something that acts like my camera shortcut does now, where if I double press the power button (even from the lock screen), it opens up the camera, which is really useful.
is there a way to do this with a transcription app instead? I'd actually really like to keep using Keep if possible, but I'd consider switching if it can't be done with it and only another app. I saw someone suggest Tasker but I don't know how much trouble that'd be.

Have you tried disabling Wi-Fi or just Wi-Fi scanning? Searching for Wi-Fi can be power-draining.
Alternately, you can use Tasker to disable your Wi-Fi based on a variety of things like location, time of day, battery state, [and/or] whether you're connected to a bluetooth device (e.g. your car.) Note that Tasker alone can be a bit of a battery hog too...
This might help? If the person you're on the phone to to can text the destination to you, this Tasker project can start up Waze automatically.
I made it for Google Maps initially but at someone's suggestion I added Waze too. You can send a single destination or multiple ones and select each with a screen tap.
Only works with Android and needs Tasker App of course.
Anyway, just a suggestion. If you need any setup help just ask.

> Or do you do something similar?
I do stuff like this purely on my phone, there's really no need for another device in this case.
I use Tasker, but it's a paid app and it might be overkill if this is all you'll use it for.
There are probably other apps that could do something similar.
All of my projects/repositories are managed by a self-hosted GitLab instance on Google Cloud, which costs me roughly $30/month with committed use discounts.
I maintain notebooks, which are git repositories containing Markdown formatted documents. There is a personal notebook, work notebook, and notebooks for each project or groups of closely related projects.
These notebook usually contain almost all of the documentation for that project, any references to external materials, and at least one file/document for miscellaneous/unsorted/uncategorized notes.
I have a copy of these notebooks on my home PC, my laptop, my workstation in the office (exluding non-work related notebooks), and on my phone.
On the PCs/laptop, I use VS Code to edit the markdown documents.
On my phone, I use an app called Obsidian
I wrote a small script that keeps these notebooks synced between all of the copies. Basically, whenever I open VS Code/Obsidian, it pulls the repository from my GitLab instance. Whenever I save a file or close VS Code/Obsidian, it pushes any changes out. If there are any errors with either operation, a little notification pops up and I can manually resolve the issue. . .but I haven't had any issues in months.
Getting that sync to work on the phone was difficult to figure out, but in the end I used Termux for a linux CLI which included git and Tasker to automate commands in Termux based on app events.
In general, for tasks I use a kanban board.
For personal tasks and short notes that are temporary and don't really need to be backed up, I use a combination of Google Keep and Google Tasks/Calendar. . .easy enough to use on either my PC or phone. Easy enough to have a kanban-like interface in Google Keep.
For development related tasks, I use the issues feature of GitLab, where each project has it's own collection of issues. The "issue board" feature provides that kanban interface. I also make use of the "milestones" feature, which allows me to group issues and to track my progress towards some milestone/release/deployment.
I also make heavy use of GitLab CI/CD pipelines to automate project testing, packaging, deployment, and generating/pulling logs/report from deployments. . .which helps identify problems.
I finally found a solution 🎉 First, you need to know that is requires root, if you're device is not rooted then you need to root (in my case I'm rooted using Magisk)
There the steps you need to follow to fix the problem :
1- Download Tasker on Google Play (it cost 3,59€ in France) or you can download a crack version of the app that I uploaded on my Google Drive (but if you want to support the developer of Tasker, prefer buying it and downloading it on Google Play)
2- Download Termux from Google Play (it's free and you can uninstall it after we finished if you want to)
3- Open Termux, type "su" and press enter (you will need to authorize root for Termux if it's the first time you use the app)
4- Type "wm size" and press enter
5- Take note of the resolution that appears
6- Type "exit" and enter until the app will closes
7- Open Tasker and tap the "+" icon at the bottom right corner
8- Tap "Create" then "Application"
9- The list of all the applications installed on your phone will show, scroll until you find Google Maps and tap once on it (it will looks like nothing happened but this is a bug)
10- Tap the back arrow at the top left corner (it can ask you a permission to see app usage data, it's need that in order to see when you launch Google Maps, so to authorize search Tasker in the list that appeared and enable Tasker)
11- Tap "New Task" then the check icon at the right of the text field that appeared
12- Tap the "+" icon at the bottom right corner
13- Tap "Code" then "Launch a shell"
14- In the command text field type "wm size" followed by the resolution you noted earlier (it will look like this "wm size 1440x3040" note that this is an example and the resolution maybe different from mine)
15- Check "Use root" and you will need to authorize root for Tasker if it's the first time you use the app
16- Tap the back arrow at the top left corner twice
17- Make sure the task is enabled then tap the check icon at the top of the screen (the icon may not be present so don't worry if you don't see it)
18- You will have a notification saying "Useless notification" and "Tap to disable", tap it and disable
19- Test if it works by opening Google Maps (if you're using Android 10+ you will see a notification saying that Tasker needs the autorisation to superpose to other apps, tap this notification, search Tasker in the list and enable after that retry to open Google Maps and see if the problem is fixed)
20- If you want to, you can now uninstall Termux ⚠️ YOU NEED TO KEEP TASKER INSTALLED
21- You can now go into Magisk app, to the shield icon at the bottom and tap on Tasker, and you can disable the notification by tapping "Notification" (it will turn to grey) ⚠️ DON'T DISABLE ROOT ACCESS FOR TASKER
If it's not working for you, post a comment below or DM me on Reddit or on Twitter (the link to my Twitter is on my profile) and I will try my best to help you
I use Tasker. Sounds similar.

I don't know if you can do it in the Obsidan app, but on Android, you can use Tasker to change the keyboard automatically when you enter/exit an app. You can have a seperate keyboard app just for Obsidian with auto capitalization permanently turned off.
You'll need to grant Tasker the Write Secure Settings permission to be able to change the keyboard.

I think you’re looking for Tasker, which is similar in concept to Shortcuts but made for Android. Shortcuts itself will probably never be ported to Android, like u/zachary7829 said; it is specifically designed for iOS.
Okay, seems there's enough interest, so here goes. I had to tweak some more complicated scripts to generalize them, but should work... Still, no guarantees of anything, YMMV, etc. Happy to help get it working if anyone tries it out.
First you will need Tasker. Here is the Tasker project xml: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19nqJuGBgXwMc6UnxJeqxRWX9qgucF1f4/view?usp=drivesdk. Download, then import into Tasker by long pressing the house icon in Tasker and selecting "Import Project". Make sure all the profiles in the imported project are turned on, then tap the checkmark in the upper right. Now give it a shot! If you go into landscape then back to portrait within 5 seconds, it'll turn off auto-rotate (and tell you it did so); then whenever you turn your phone off, it'll turn auto rotate back on. Pro tip: I personally expand that Display Off profile task to reset a bunch of defaults I sometimes change for just a session (e.g., volume, brightness and auto-brightness, display timeout, wifi on, etc.).
Tasker can do it It's not too hard. Tasker
Of course! But you need to program something yourself.
There are official documentations from SteelSeries, how to send things to the OLED screen: https://github.com/SteelSeries/gamesense-sdk .
I wrote my program in Python, but you can use any language as it's just posting JSONs via HTTP. This was the part which just involved a little reading and trying.
In my scenario, I already have an MQTT broker in my network, so I just made my phone publish the percentage through Tasker, when it changes. But I'm sure you can make this work with a simple HTTP-Server built into your program that controls the OLED, instead of using an MQTT broker.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en&gl=US
Yes, it is a very powerful app :)
There's a lot of misinformation in the comments.
As u/Sc00by pointed out, ADB makes this possible. If you don't want to work with that, a slightly easier method would be Play Store apps Tasker and its plugins TouchTask or AutoInput. They work without root and can be reasonably automated.
It's not fast, and it requires a lengthy setup if you don't know what you're doing, but it works. I've been working on various profiles to control touchscreen only games with the keyboard and it's functional on Chrome OS.
Almost anything is possible on this platform. You just have to be ok with granting extensive permissions and doing a bit of tinkering.
Have you looked at Tasker yet?
This can be easily achieved with tasker. The learning curve might be a little steep, but this is a basic project. /r/tasker has a lot of info if you did through it.
Yes, Not with 'Shortcuts' obviously but with a dozen other apps including , Tasker or http request shortcuts
Automation Apps > Tasker, MacroDroid, Automate. You can replace dozens of simple apps with one of these.
not sure about those two because it's been a long time since I've used them, but Tasker definitely can replace the long press home button action and perform any task (including locking the screen) you want.
Here's the play store page for it. I don't install anything from Samsung.

Battery optimization task: taskernet task
I couldn't say for sure if it's even possible to do that with just Kustom, but it might be something you could do using Tasker or MacroDroid perhaps… either in conjunction with KLWP or KWGT, or with just one of those particular apps by itself…
And although I've used Tasker before, which I find to be quite difficult and confusing to use, I haven't actually done anything like that myself, so I'd definitely recommend that you do a bit of investigating first and also search around for a more appropriate subreddit on the topic… good luck to you though! 😉
Well, if you feel like putting together your own solution, there is Tasker which would allow you to create a solution.
It's an automation app which does also allow to create QuickSettings Tiles. You could then put the toggling or switching behind that. Given that it is a automation app, you'd have to create the task of setting the data SIM first. You'd need the "Custom Setting" action, and set the "multi_sim_data_call" global setting to the SIM card you want to use (1 or 2). That should be it, I guess.
You can then set this to QuickSetting tile for easier toggling.
I wanted this for years. Last year I installed a Shelly Dimmer to control my bedroom lights. It has a sunrise option with variable duration and end brightness, and connects to Google Home. One downside is that the sunrise option wasn't controllable through Google, but I got around that by using the Tasker app to link it to my alarm. Tasker can also allow you to control via Google but it would get more complex; it's been a bit tricky to set up but has definitely been worth it
If you run Android, you could use Tasker to have all sorts of different things on your phone trigger stuff in HA via webhooks.
A lot of stuff. For example I set it up to turn on auto brightness when I go out and increase my volume when I get home. Found the link to it now though so you can look at it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_US&gl=US
My guess right now is a power saving feature, I just can't find any obvious setting.
I'm tempted to use tasker to automate turning the wifi back on. But that's a patch solution and not a real fix.
I'm not sure why it was removed, but here's what I wrote:
As we know, Android 12 comes with a new feature called Extra Dim, that reduces screen brightness below normal thresholds. This can be very useful for reducing eye strain at night, but for some reason, Google did not think to make this work on a schedule or automate it in any way. Fortunately, this can be done with Tasker, so I decided to share my profile here in case anyone else wants it.
Obviously, you will need the Tasker app to do this. Furthermore, in requires changing one of Android's secure settings, so you will need to give Tasker permission to do so. This does not require root, but you do need to download Google's platform tools so you can use ADB. You can find the instructions to do that here. Per that link, there apparently is now a separate tool which makes this easier, but I have not tried it.
If you have Tasker and have granted it access to secure settings, you can simply use the "custom settings" task to toggle the "reduce_bright_colors_activated" secure setting and trigger it however you would like. If you're familiar with Tasker, that's not very difficult. That being said, here is an export of my Tasker profile for this. It toggles Extra Dim depending on whether Night Light is on since that feature can be scheduled in Android and I figure that when I want one, I will always want the other, even if I toggle Night Light manually.
I hope someone finds this useful. Google should probably allow this to be scheduled or automated, but in the meantime, Tasker comes to the rescue, as usual.
EDIT: You can also change the level of dimming in the Android accessibility settings, which is controlled by the reduce_bright_colors_level secure setting in Tasker, but I have not manipulated this in my profile.
I haven't tried it on a Boox for this. I use it on my Flip3 to make it play Star Trek communicator beeps when I open and close it.
The only way I can see to do it for this would be to use a "Connectivity" block and try to ping your WiFi router's gateway (192.168.x.x). I don't see any way to use SSID.
It's a little tricky to use. You might also be able to use Tasker, but it's not a free app. I haven't used it myself.
a Very customizable automation app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
The app is called "tasker". https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
It's rather complex but super powerful for automating things on an Android phone. For your purpose you would set up a profile like this:
"+" to create profile; state; net; WiFi connected; check the box "invert" so that it triggers when it loses the connection; click on the arrow back; create new task; click the "+"; file; write file; chose a file path; put %DATE %TIME in the text box; check the boxes "append" and "add new line" and save.
This will create a profile that writes the date and time into a txt file every time the phone loses wi-fi connection. You can add another profile that adds lines every time it regains the connection when you uncheck the invert box in the "wi-fi connected" step. I have read that you can also have tasker write directly into a Google Doc so it's automatically in the cloud but this seems to take some more steps and I have not tried it yet so not sure how that works
I was trying to think of a way that you could somehow "blacklist" that specific tag so it wont mess with your phone. Maybe something like Tasker or Automate?(note I have not checked to see what actions you can take on NFC for these)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate
The other option that might help is in the NFC settings in android you can only allow NFC while unlocked. Or add a quickaccess button to turn NFC on/off completely (which i recommend anyways).
There's this app called "Tasker" (I'm sure there are alternatives by now but I've used this for years). It lets you automate a lot of stuff on your phone. I have a task that runs every 5 minutes that sets my alarm volume to max.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en&gl=US
Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en&gl=US
It has a free trial, so see if it is what you need
Have you tried tasker?
I use Tasker and AutoLocation for this.
You have to save the locations though.
Here's something that you'd probably be more interested in that uses the same apps.
I use Tasker and AutoNotification for various things so I just used those
If you're not familiar with Tasker, which is actually a pretty difficult app to use IMO (even for experienced Android users such as myself), there's another app you could try instead called Macrodroid, which is a bit easier to navigate but will allow you to accomplish many of the same actions…
Although they're both available for purchase on the Google Play Store, you might be able to find a cracked or modded version of them online for free… I usually just do that by doing a Google search for an app I want to try out, and if I end up liking it, I'll then go pay for it on the Play Store as to support the developer of the app (they're normally not that expensive anyhow - typically less than $3 or $4 in most cases)…
Tasker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm) might be up your alley. Now, it won't be able to tell when you've fallen asleep or anything, but it does let you configure app functionality, so if you normally go to bed at like 10 PM you can set it to shut off the app at 10:30 PM.
If the Scan app is that broken (I would not be surprised), use something like Tasker to silence media volume while the app is open and restore it when it isn't.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
FolderSync: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite
If you use tasker use the "privacy" option for photos so that it doesn't turn on the screen which might affect photoperiod plants. I've also plugged the phone charger into the same timer that my lights are on so that there is no risk of the charging indicator light affecting them.
You could use the app Tasker to do this fairly easily.
Edit: Tasker
I purposely quoted the message instead of providing a screenshot because the text is searchable, whereas a screenshot is not. But before responding here I tried getting a screenshot, but the app's policies also disallow screenshots.
Yes, I do have Tasker installed, along with the AutoInput plugin. Eight services are listed under Accessibility, but only AutoInput is enabled. Even with no services enabled under Accessibility, I get the same error message.
Under Shelter, running the app in my work profile (where neither Tasker or AutoInput, and most other apps are not installed) works fine.
Without question, I'll change banks before removing either on of these apps.
Pushover doesn't send emails. Maybe IFTT is something for you. Or Tasker.
Those are programming / automatization tools.
IFTT works with pushover: https://ifttt.com/pushover
Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm, Tasker you can program to do almost anything on Android. Can have a deep learning curve.
Maybe start with IFTT
Could they be programmed to run a Tasker task?
With this specific tool...not that I'm aware of.
What you could potentially do though, instead of using Speedcheck, is automate grabbing the current IPs that are in use using Tasker. Maybe have it dump to a log upon each network change. I've never done that myself, but it seems like an entirely feasible option given the extensiveness of automations that can be performed with Tasker. I'm sure you can find some decent documentation of someone using it in this exact way - seems like it would be a pretty typical use case for plenty of people that are utilizing the app. Not sure how much effort you're willing to put into the project, but if you're willing to do a little research you can probably pull this off fairly easily using Tasker. I would've mentioned it earlier but just assumed you were looking for something quick and dirty.
It's an automation app for android. Can do some crazy stuff with it
Buy this app, and you can do anything you want with bixby button.
I made a tasker profile which says battery low at 30%
I use Tasker for this kind of thing.
The simplest way would be to an app context (trigger) set to the boost app and have the enter task turn off autorotate and the exit task turn it on again
Using Tasker
With call screen event to trigger the sms and call rejection.
Tasker can do it with Termux:Tasker
I am referring to Tasker, it's a paid app, can do crazy level of automation. In a nutshell, it let's you create a profile that defines a condition and set of actions to perform when the condition meets. It has bit of learning curve, but I think it should be able to do what you want without rooting. There's the tasker subreddit r/tasker maybe you could ask there to see if anyone has already done it before if you decide to purchase it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
mobile uses Java for android and Swift/Obj-C on iOS.
You could use Flutter for one time coding which can compile on both.
I think this should be fairly simple to implement.
There are apps that doesn't require you to code, the one I use is called tasker(Paid though, but I can assure you they have the trigger to do an action when you connect to a specific wifi network).
There are Free alternatives but I don't know if they can do the Wifi SSID detection trigger.
I use a combination of Tasker, AutoRemote and EventGhost to power on (via Wake-On-LAN, only works from standby on my machine) and standby / shut down / whatever from my phone.
I think Tasker is better suited for this.
You can use tasker to do this. It is paid, however.
https://www.xda-developers.com/customize-samsung-s-pen-gesture-tasker/amp/

are you referring to this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Not natively, but you can probably get it done using Tasker with AutoNotification.
You could use an automation app (Tasker, MacroDroid, Automate, etc) to trigger the overlay of any search app whenever the button is pressed. Alternatively it can just open the app if it doesn't have any overlay feature. To find the "name" of the of the app's search function (whether it's an overlay or not) you can use an app like Activity Launcher.
Tasker: paid app but absolutely worth it if you are willing to learn how to use it, can replace a lot of paid apps.
Prerequisites:
Obviously then, this is not possible natively. But there is another way you can achieve that.
This requires Tasker in combination with Join (Android, extension for Chrome/Brave/Vivaldi or MS Store).
I'll give you a short (as possible) overview on how these apps play together.
The fundamental app is Tasker. It's a really mighty automation app for Android phones and will then switch your WiFi OFF (see also r/tasker).
This will be achieved by using Join at you PC (app and/or extension). The extension is only available for Chromium based browsers and therein only for the before mentioned. No Edge right now! This is due to MS has (still?) not implemented GCM service which is inevitable for Join extension to work. And no FireFox. IIrc, Opera is also working, but there is a certain security risk in general as you probably know., so I cannot recommend Opera.
Basically, if you send a message from Join (Windows) to Join (Android) Tasker reacts on this and e.g. turns WiFi OFF.
As this is no automatism, you can additionally use AutoHotkey, see also r/autohotkey, to react on the connected phone and then sends the according message via Join's WebIf.
If you are interested in further automation for your Windows PC, then you could throw a look at EventGhost (Forum, r/eventghost), which is also a mighty automation program based on Python with hundreds of free plug-ins (e.g. Philips Hue). And Join support, of course. ;-)
Tasker or MacroDroid will be able to do that.
Are you referring to this app?
From Tasker's Google Play listing:
Tasker the automation software. I could give you the routines, but they are fairly specific to my setup (smart switch brand, wireless charger, home wifi etc): Profiles
I have no such setup of my watch, since as I said, charging is very time limited, as it only spends time off my wrist while I'm in the shower and shaving.
Here's a link to the Tasker app on the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
It would be nice if you could test this solution on a friend's Android phone before buying your own. Do you know someone who could loan you one?
Alternatively, perhaps a friend would allow you to test it on their daily-use Android. They could switch to their guest profile, and then allow you to log on with your own Google account. From there, you would access the Play Store to purchase and install Tasker ($3.49) and Google Voice. The nice thing about this approach: once you completed your testing, your friend could reset the guest profile, making it as if you never touched the phone.
Perhaps the best option of all would be to test the solution on an Android emulator, installed on a computer. If you have a Windows computer, I would suggest Memu. It's free, as are all of the Android emulators I've tried on Windows. (Android emulators are available for iOS, but I've never tried them.)
The nice thing about the emulator approach: if Tasker and Google Voice run properly, this could become your permanent solution; you wouldn't need to buy an Android phone. However, this would require you to leave your computer running 24/7, or at least during business hours.
Although Tasker imposes a fairly significant learning curve, this largely wouldn't apply, in your situation. I searched online and discovered that sending automated text messages to incoming callers is a fairly common Tasker use case. There is a large online community of Tasker users who export and share their custom implementations; you could easily import one that satisfies your requirements, and start running it right away. The only customization you'd have to perform would be to add your desired content for the outgoing text message.
Alternatively, I could create it for you. It would be trivial; I doubt it would take even 10 minutes to implement. (It's certainly not something I would charge money for, LOL.)
I'm sure this sounds complicated, but it's really not so bad. I'd be happy to answer questions along the way via email.
Lastly, although Tasker isn't available for the iPhone, you might want to try searching the Apple app store for "automation." You may find a Tasker-like utility that can intercept incoming calls and send automated texts.
Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.
Hi! It's not possible with IFTTT alone. I Think you can achieve this with Tasker;
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en&gl=US
You could probably do it using Tasker. Its a bit complicated though. Check out /r/tasker

Not sure about your use case, but when I hear "automate," I immediately think "Tasker."

A fair number of Tasker plugins have become free and the dev has been adding a lot of features from his plugins into Tasker. Plus Tasker profiles can be pretty easily shared.
Here's my list of some of the more interesting things that I'm using Tasker for (a few plugins are used but can be removed from most tasks):
Add calendar events with NLP by typing into a single text field which it processes and adds to my calendar.
Do stuff when my phone is unlocked with different fingerprints, when my GF unlocks my phone it changes the launcher and shows the navbar. Link
Receive notifications when a new Reddit post matches keywords. Link
Input a custom template with my wakeup time, app usage stats, and location for my Journal app.
Monitor the brightness of on-screen content. Link
Easily link to an apps playstore page on Reddit. Link.
Basically an entire reminder system (in alpha). Link
Incredibly fine control of notifications.
Snoozing notifications automatically until 6 PM for specific apps. Link
A persistent notification that I can take notes on.
Changes keyboards in different apps.
Pause podcasts before they end at night or when I fall asleep. Link
Backup alarms.
Log data to Google Sheets.
When my phone is locked the only visible quick tile becomes Bluetooth.
Transcribe last received WhatsApp voice message. Link
Pop up (overlay) dictionary. Link
Modify navbar buttons.
Convert app names to Play Store links and format them for Reddit. Link
Double tap the back of my phone to pause and play music.
A simple motion-based sleep detector profile. Link.
Saves my car's location when I disconnect from my car's bluetooth. Long pressing volume up opens the last location in Google maps. Don't use this often but it's insanely helpful when needed.
Routing audio from the main speaker to the phone-call speaker(identical to the WhatsApp feature) for when you forget your earbuds! Link.

You might be able to set up the SOS message option on your phone (if you use an Android) that sends to specified contacts, including a GPS location for the recipient to use that will expire automatically after a couple hours. Mine is set up to trigger if the side key is pressed four times in a row and to send a message to a couple of my favorited contacts. It doesn't connect to BG apps but there might be a way to use an app such as Tasker to set up specific triggers and actions.

I don't know if this app can do it to, but Tasker is THE app for automation! Maybe it's for you!
This behavior in missed calls staying bold started with the December 2020 update on my Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. The January 2021 update didn't fix it.
I also noticed right away that some Tasker profiles that use the "Missed Call" state is working different now. I either have to receive or place another call or go in and edit something in Tasker to get the profile to deactivate. I've used this same profile for 6-7 years over various versions of Android and phones and it's always deactivated after looking at the Recents tab in the phone app (the same time that bolded entries would unbold).
Another unrelated thing started with the December 2020 update for me also that I haven't seen much discussion on. Seems like the update introduced a lot of changes.
Nice, Tx 4 reply, I assume u mean tasked on app store? This 1? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I forgot to add, I use Tasker. I have a task setup that takes pictures with a specific filename, in my case I want it to overwrite my previous pictures when the task takes new pictures, Solid Explorer works fine and overwrites the pictures but when I check an hour later it overwrites the file and renames the file to "blank_1.jpg". What I want is to overwrite the pictures and keep the filename (e.g blank.jpg).
tl; dr I took some time to think about a first approach yesterday and came up with this first draft. It's not scalable and there are still some uncovered edge cases (e.g., what happens if my camera spots someone within the 3-second window every 10 minutes while Profile 1 is running?) but I can confirm that it technically works.
Prerequisites:
I have an old Nexus 5 laying around that's always plugged in, so that's where I run the profiles/tasks. Here is the general approach I used to solve my particular problem, and hopefully at least some portion of this can help with your use case as well:
Profile 1 runs every 10 minutes from 10pm-6am to fetch the status of my house alarm and store it on the clipboard. Might make this variable later but this first test works well enough.
alarmstatus
%alarmstatus
Profile 2 triggers the following task when Notification Listener detects certain phrasing inside of a Nest notification (event posted in the Nest app where title is Person*
or the text is like *someone*
) AND it's between 10pm-6am AND the clipboard indicates that the alarm is armed.
input tap xxx yyy
(to tap a widget on my home screen that turns on all exterior lights)broadcast a message to the master bedroom speaker Alert! Someone's outside right now!
Send
with no problems)%alarmstatus
input tap xxx yyy
(to tap a widget on my home screen that turns on all interior lights. Wanted a delay on this to make it seem more human, since nobody flips on all of their lights at the exact same time.)Good luck!
So these would be my approaches:
Difficulty: Advanced, Requires:
Difficulty: Advanced, Requires:
Additionally discussed there is re-flashing of devices with Tasmota for easier/better/more customized use. A long road to go (setting up additional hardware, etc.), so definitvely for the more advanced/pro user.
Last comment is talking about an alternative (to IFTTT) website that sounds promising.
At r/tasker there are a lot of postings to that subject (Smart Life).
Sadly your lights are not that easy to be controlled remotely (by Tasker) so you have to do a lot of work, especially at starting with Tasker.
If you'll decide to start with Tasker I'm giving you a last hint. But it's not very likely that this option will be availabe: Shortcuts. If Smart Life can save/be used with (system) shortcuts, not widgets, then you only need Tasker to use these shortcuts. Shortcuts can be used by some launchers (Action Launcher, Nova, ...) and Tasker. But as I said before, it's not very likely.
I'm not aware of any app specifically for this purpose, and I really don't like suggesting Tasker as the all-purpose solution, but I'm sure Tasker could do this. Using Tasker for this would require some effort and probably troubleshooting, but it should eventually do what you want. If you already have Tasker, or you have any programming experience, this might be a solution.
Note: Tasker is a paid app.

It's easy to make tasker make a Authentication Dialog when your browser opens. But as others have started, someone can just uninstall Tasker or find another workaround.
Probably possible with Tasker + AutoNotification.
yes removing battery is good option but other thing you can do is use tasker to automate smart socket , like when battery reaches to 20% then turn on smart socket and start charging also when reaches to 80% then turn off smart socket
i am using this method with one of my old phone and its still going great even after almost 1.5 year
HA Companion app is still in infancy, and not all of the features are there yet. I use a combination of Tasker and MQTT Client which can be used as a plugin for Tasker. my Home Assistant will listen for something like this {'topic': 'tasker/my_phone/ringing','number':'555-555-555'}
on MQTT then run automation from there.
Great stuff!
I use a similar gadget, a Timeular cube, to track my time on various projects, and have it tied to Toggl and various automations through Zapier and IFTTT, and using Tasker on my Android to carefully track time across projects/meetings/work I do on a regular basis.
Secret Voice Recorder (com.miragestack.secret.voice.recorder) can be set to start recording upon three power button clicks, though I'm unsure how stable it is. You might want to do some testing before you decide to trust it. The app is no longer on Google Play Store but can be found on various .apk mirror websites (I recommend scanning .apk files from random websites before installation).
Beyond that I expect it may be possible with automation apps like Tasker and MacroDroid.
Well I just made a proof of concept Tasker profile that does this. You need to give Tasker an adb permission to run this and it will run every time you open the status bar.
Tasker link.
iOS has actually made room for power users, you can do pretty complex stuff (like working with rest APIs) in Shortcuts now. A lot of apps are also adding in Shortcuts integration too.
Tasker is still miles ahead and probably always will be but there hasn't been any trend towards mass adoption and developers rarely add Tasker integration into their apps.
I think you can go to the Tasker Google Play Store page on your browser/PC, log in to the same account your using on your phone and select to uninstall Tasker.
I'll take a promo code! Any plans for Tasker integration?
Definitely this. While Tasker is the most recommended, well-known, and powerful automation app, MacroDroid is great and is probably best for most people. It's far easier to use.
Other apps can "override" the Google Assistant, I think you could set up Tasker to listen for the button presses and then do nothing instead of popping anything up.

Automation apps like Tasker, Automate, and Macrodroid can do this. I have Tasker. It's more complex than the others, but can be more capable. I find that Automate is a good mix of capability and user-friendliness.
Hey guys, No need to wait.... Use Tasker app ! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
It's Tasker :)
I've replaced IFTTT with Tasker. It's not free, but it's only $3.49, and it's a one time only fee, unlike IFTTT.
There's a little more of a learning curve, but it does a lot more than IFTTT and it's quicker and more reliable.
If you need help, there's also r/Tasker where you can get help from nice people.
I've been looking for a solution to this for around a year since I (stupidly) transitioned. Prior to the move, I had Nest fire off a command to IFTTT which would flash the entire house's lights several times, before coming on full brightness, whenever smoke/CO was detected.
I had hoped that Google would integrate Nest events (e.g. smoke) into Google Home so that you could activate a routine.
But, so long as passed and still nothing.
The only workaround I have found to this, is to use Tasker on Android. There is a feature called Notification Intercept that comes with the AutoNotification plugin and you can use that to look for any notification you get from the Nest app (or if you want less false positives you can only look for one with a specific text or a title), that the Nest app displays whenever an alarm sounds. When that happens, you can program Tasker to react accordingly (e.g. directly control Hue lights using one of the Hue plugins for Tasker, or fire off a WebHook to IFTTT for integration with more obscure things).
If you don't know Tasker or AutoNotification, there is quite a big learning curve, but there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube.
Tasker is the Android counterpart to Shortcuts. (And no, the two apps are not compatible with one another.)
I've been using Tasker since Android 4. It's very powerful, if there is something that you want to automate you can almost certainly do it with Tasker. The user interface (UI) is a little complicated and can take some getting used to.

These are just counter-arguments by an ex iPhone user(iPhone 4S JAILBREAKED).
I hope you'll read it all.
My basis is that iPhones almost always have better hardware (if you want, you can ask me for a spec comparison with the iPhone 11 Pro Max and any Android and the iPhone will win because I’ve compared the iPhone 11 Pro Max specs against even the newest, most powerful, most expensive Androids and the iPhone won every time)
Not a valid point because It's an argument about the operating system, and you have a very stupid reasons.
Clearly don't know what was your basis.
Comparing it with Asus Rog Phone 2(launched sep 2019)
Memory
iPhone: 4GB
Asus: 8GB/12GB
CPU (clearly a lot of difference, even without overclocking)
iPhone: Hexa-core (2x2.65 GHz Lightning + 4x1.8 GHz Thunder)
Asus: Octa-core (1x2.96 GHz Kryo 485 & 3x2.42 GHz Kryo 485 & 4x1.78 GHz Kryo 485)
Battery (even support reverse charging)
iPhone: 3969mAh Fast charging 18W
Asus: 6000mAh Fast charging 30W and Reverse charging 10W
Screen Refresh Rate(POCO X2: a $215 phone have 120hz refresh rate but not flagship iPhone) iPhone: 60Hz Asus: 120hz
and iOS is a lot better than Android (way easier to use, less bloatware, and Android has a lot of features and customization that NO ONE NEEDS OR USES.)
1) way easier to use:
You can achieve the exact same UI your rotten apple have by just installing a single app(just 2 to 5mb max)
2) less bloatware:
Bloatware is not an android fault, this is the fault of smartphone vendors. You can't push the vendor's fault on the community of an open-source mobile os.
Unlike ios, you can remove system apps from android(even a default phone call application if you want)
3) customization that NO ONE NEEDS OR USES:
Have you ever even tried any of the customizations, or even heard or googled about the full potential of the android os?
You can automate any type of task. eg. Tasker app
And if we talk about UI changes there are many things like live wallpapers, custom navigation, status bar or notification UI or icon packs(there are a lot of icon packs which can help make applications easy to find for color blind people.
and if you look at the App Store vs the Google Play Store, the Google Play Store has way more apps that NO ONE NEEDS OR USES because Apple has very strict checking on what apps get into their store and Google doesn’t check their apps for much of anything,
It's a discussion about Android vs iOS not Apple vs Google. If you don't like PlayStore then android supports side load application without PlayStore. Because of it, there are a lot of application distribution services for android, it's not like Apple's monopolized and anti-competitive practices.
not even VIRUSES which means, while rare, you can download a virus from the Google Play Store.
If you think iOS doesn't have viruses than please check:

Android’s problem is that their hardware sucks and their OS is hard to use and has too many things no one needs.
Are you repeating the same points to make it look like there are many points?
Also, the only valid reason (and it’s still not a good reason) to use Android is that Androids are (in general) cheaper and you can’t afford an iPhone (in which case you should save up your money for an iPhone) but then there are the people who say they like Androids because they’re cheaper and then they buy themselves a $1299 Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G (and they say our product names are too long) which is $200 more than the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
It's not a valid point because it's an argument about the operating system but you're too stupid (or if blind and you can only see apples) I'll also counter this point.
You're comparing current generation phone with the previous generation phone. iPhone 11 Pro Max launched on Sep 2019 and Samsung Note 20 Ultra launched on Aug 2020. Why don't we compare the price with the "estimated price"(which is always lower than actual) iPhone 12 Pro Max which is $1,499 which is $200 more than Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and we're talking about the price only not specification(don't google it, or you will get a heart attack).
And a lot more devices powered by Android: Cars, Televisions, Refridgerator, Watch, Smart/AR Glasses, Home Automation Systems, Cameras, Mirrors, Game consoles, Speakers, and a lot more.

Tasker ?
Ohh, probably apps like Tasker and other apps that require low-level system requirements. I don't have too much experience with that stuff.
For those who are curious...
This is what I know. As the Bluetooth app differs from the normal Hue app I do not know exactly their functionality, so it would be most likely that only BT connection isn't supported.
But ...
I've figured out a way - in theory - that was possible and hopefully will be possible again in the near future.
You will need following apps:
It would work as following:
You define a spoken command in GA that starts AutoVoice (Tell AutoVoice "Light On" to start a specific task in Tasker - Action: Hue Essential: Light On = true - and send the command to Hue Essential. In the end you would say:
Hey/Ok Google, Light on.
Why is this not possible at the moment? A few days ago Google decided to disable AutoVoice in GA/GH due to advocating hate or violence or promoting discrimination.
For further reference: [DEV] AutoVoice Removed From Google Assistant
One part is:
>User: "sag autovoice schließen"
Translation: User: "tell autovoice to close", in fact "schließen" which is "to close" sounds similar to "schießen" which is "to shoot".
The other example is ridiculous, too.
So chances are not to bad, that AutoVoice will be reactivated very soon.
Tasker - r/Tasker - and AutoVoice are from the same dev: https://joaoapps.com/
I believe so. I can't see its price as i bought it long time ago. Here's the link.
It's a very powerful app; it can do what you need and much more.
You'll need a few things, SDK Platform Tools (ADB) which you can download here. Also, you'll need the apps Tasker, and a plug-in for Tasker called AutoWear. Mainly AutoWear is going to be the thing that will allow you to automate theater mode on your watch but it won't work without Tasker and Platform Tools. I'm in a rush to leave for work, so go ahead and look into AutoWear and how you can grant it WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permissions on your watch. Then learn how to use Tasker with Sleep as Android. If you are still lost I'll try and post a step by step in a few days.
Tasker - the app to rule them all Automates your phone to your OWN liking.
You can probably do all this with tasker
It's an app that can automate actions or create custom routines based on actions. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Check out the website for stuff it can do and pre made routines https://tasker.joaoapps.com/
It's pretty powerful in features and can control a lot of things. Maybe it can do what you want or something close. I'm no expert on the app, but some of the folks in the forum are pretty helpful.
At some point just use the API and if you can't code maybe use Tasker or request/pay for the enhancement to be added to TeslaLogger or TeslaFi (assuming they don't already have the feature).
This sounds like something you could accomplish with the Tasker app and Universal Copy.
Ask this question over on r/tasker. Tasker let's you automate anything you want to on your android, provided you know how to do it. Your problem is beyond my expertise though. Universal Copy may not be necessary, but I imagine it could be used to highlight all the text on screen if Tasker can't pick out text already itself.
Good luck.
Harvest data from google sheets using Tasker and the Spreadsheet Tasker Plugin, then broadcast it from Tasker into KLWP or KWGT using KLWP or KWGT Plugin within Tasker and the formula $br(Tasker, ____)$ within KLWP or KWGT.
Edit: I should add that I've done this in KLWP and it works fine. Haven't tried it in KWGT, but as far as I know, the only thing KWGT can't do that KLWP does is animations...
Edit 2: I notice you put "graph" in your title and "chart" in your description. I believe you can only get text/numeric data from google sheets using this method. Then once you get the values into KLWP/KWGT, you could technically draw a graph using that data and trigonometry. This is how people get those daily temperature graphs to work in KLWP/KWGT. I haven't tried (re)learning trig yet...

Give at look at Tasker , it's the best way to automate things on mobile .
Tasker of course.
Should be doable. You will need to have the ambilight add-on added to home assistant. Then you could probably use tasker (Android app) to intercept the incoming call notification that pops up. Then you can have tasker send a service call to turn the lights on.

I did really want to put this in a new submission, but the topic does keep coming up and it needs to be addressed somewhere for reference, so I'll post it here instead.
It's the term that some members of the community have given to the process of overriding the default rendering resolution on Quest.
By changing the appropriate Android System Properties via ADB, namely debug.oculus.textureWidth
and debug.oculus.textureHeight
.
For example:
adb shell setprop debug.oculus.textureWidth 1520
adb shell setprop debug.oculus.textureHeight 1680
Or as a single command:
adb shell "setprop debug.oculus.textureWidth 1520 && setprop debug.oculus.textureHeight 1680"
The default texture size on Quest is 1216x1344 per eye so 1520x1680 would represent a render scale adjustment of 1.25.
Yes, though the values there have been tuned for Oculus Go rather than Quest.
They do exactly the same thing (they are Tasker tasks that have been exported to apps using the Tasker App Factory and they issue the same sorts of ADB commands). The difference is that this method allows resolution changes to be made from within the headset and without the need for an external ADB host as long as you switch ADB to TCP mode first.
No. Changes to these system properties will be reset if you restart the headset, no matter how they were made.
Some apps will inherit it, some apps will multiply it and some apps will ignore it. The thing to understand here is that the texture resolution that is specified by these system properties is more of a reference value than something that applications have no choice but to respect.
Here are a few examples which illustrate some of the ways in which the resulting behaviour might not be what you expect:
RUSH: Instead of using the system default resolution of 1216x1344, RUSH normally runs at 1702x1882 by way of a render scale multiplier of about 1.4. So if you were to set a new default texture resolution of 1824x2016 for example it actually ends up running at 2544x2822 (or 2867x2867 if you were to set an Oculus Go resolution like 2048x2048).
First Contact: Normally runs at 1040x1152 by way of a negative render scale multiplier, and 1552x1728 if you set 1824x2016 (or 1744x1744 if you set 2048x2048).
Virtual Desktop: Ignores whatever the system texture resolution is set to and uses fixed resolutions specially chosen for each virtual environment and based on the Environment Quality option you've chosen in the Settings panel. The cinema screens themselves are all high quality VR Compositor Layers (more colloquially known as "Timewarp layers"). Texture resolution changes have no effect on Timewarp layers either but they are already optimal from a clarity standpoint. In PCVR streaming mode a fixed resolution of 1824x2016 is used.
AltspaceVR: This is one of a number of titles that have a user-facing render scale adjustment built right in to the application itself. Normally setting it to 1.0 will give you 1216x1344 and setting it to 2.0 will get you 2432x2688. You can also go right down to 0.6 for 730x806 if you like horror shows. These are multipliers which do key off whatever system resolution is set though so you can easily get into trouble. For example if you set a new texture resolution of 2560x2560 over ADB you'd end up at a ridiculous 5120x5120 if you also left the render scale adjustment set to 2.0.
Similar to Virtual Desktop when running in PCVR streaming mode, the Oculus Link client uses a fixed texture resolution of 1808x2000 regardless of what you set the default texture resolution to (the only tweaks that affect image quality here are those that can be performed on the PC side).
Some apps like Skybox VR Player, DeoVR and Samsung VR are still rendering to conventional lossy eye buffers so they do respond to texture resolution changes. However some players are using the high quality Timewarp layers mentioned above and so the image quality of the actual content itself isn't affected and these layers are already optimal from a clarity standpoint. Examples include Oculus Gallery (which uses Timewarp layers for both flat and spherical content), Oculus TV (and therefore all the services and apps you can run within it), Bigscreen, Netflix VR*, Prime Video VR (for the flat content at least) and of course Virtual Desktop as mentioned above (which can be used as a streaming media player).
Both Oculus Browser and Firefox reality have their browser windows on a Timewarp layer too.
^((*The image quality bottleneck in Netflix is the 480p stream rather than the local rendering)^)
It certainly can, and probably will. The degree to which this is true depends on the app and just how much you're trying to push things. And remember, you might be pushing things harder than you think you are because of the render scale multipliers that are sometimes in play.
In situations where default texture resolution adjustments actually have an effect you can generally expect lower frame rates, decreased battery life and possibly other problems.
Probably not to any significant extent. Quest employs a feature known as Dynamic Clock Throttling which automatically ramps the CPU and/or GPU level up based on real-time application performance analysis and most developers seem to leave that on. There are a few exceptions, but it's not typical.
There can probably be some debate here because in some cases there could be delays before dynamic throttling kicks in and manually setting 4/4 would avoid that, but in most cases when you force a higher rendering resolution than the developer chose things will ramp up pretty quickly and will probably remain there (and there are plenty of games that would have been at level 4 anyway even without a resolution increase).
You can try forcing Fixed Foveated Rendering to the highest possible level but it will only help if the application isn't set at that level already, and only really in GPU fill bound scenarios. In some cases performance might actually suffer a little due to associated overheads.
Quite a bit.
Lower frame rates on a traditional display are generally no big deal and can often go unnoticed or are at least well tolerated by most people. But the whole deal changes when you've left all external reference points behind and the images generated by your VR headset have become the entirety of your visual reality. In this scenario a high and steady frame rate is a critical component in generating and maintaining a proper sense of presence and immersion; the sometimes elusive and precarious feeling that things are really "there" and you are there with them.
It is also of paramount importance to user comfort. In fact this is so important that Oculus require that applications do not drop below 72fps for extended periods of time as part of their performance-related application submission requirements.
Fair enough. But maybe just be conservative about it instead of going straight for 2560x2560 or whatever. At this level performance is absolutely going to take a big dive in any game that is already somewhat demanding, which most are.
Yes, with the OVR Metrics Tool. You can download it from here and read more about it here. If you're going to play around with different texture resolution values it's a good idea to learn more about what the consequences are and this tool with help with that.
>The only downside is right now, that you have to keep the geforce client alive on your phone - you can archive this by tapping the window once in a while.
Or you can use Tasker along with TouchTask to automate either keypress on pixel (x, y) or when a specific window appears to wait for 3 seconds and press that panel.
Everything can be automated. The real downside is the bandwidth of 2 devices streaming on the home connection (this is not efficient). Since Nvidia is too ~~lazy~~ cash pile distracted to provide a client for Linux I guess this is a good option.
you should be able to do that with Tasker, it can do all kinds of automation. having it toggle data on and off might take some tinkering in some cases, but should be doable. you could ask in /r/Tasker for some assistance if you get stuck on any step.
>La reperibilità obbligatoria e continua
"Fanculo" è sempre una risposta valida, se si viene chiamati fuori dai vincoli contrattuali.
Se invece si è particolarmente timidi suggerisco Tasker: tra le varie cose sciccose che può fare c'è anche la creazione di blacklist personalizzate, molto ma molto più flessibili del normale "blocca il numero X". Per chi è particolarmente duro d'orecchio ci sono i sindacati.
Yup. Tasker for Android (paid app) AutoWeb plugin (installable through AutoApps ) for Tasker, Aylien Text Analysis API and the Reddit API.
And a little demo of an initial version a while ago.
> those APKs are pretty big as well
I'm pretty sure that they are Tasker tasks that have been exported to apps using Tasker App Factory. So each one is basically something of a clone of the Tasker app itself that has been configured to perform a certain task. In this case, issuing ADB commands. That's why they are big, and probably not because they are doing a whole lot of other dodgey stuff.
> FOSS apps
With Android, you get access to FOSS apps that aren't readily available for iOS devices. The nature of these apps mean that they are 1) free and 2) transparent, with no under-the-hood trackers. The first thing I do when I get a new Android phone is download F-droid and get open source alternative apps. When I was on iOS, I was paying so many monthly subscription fees for my apps, but now I don't pay anything. Some FOSS apps that I recommend:
> Device optimization via ADB
One thing I don't like about the Samsung stock ROM is that it comes pre-installed with apps like Chrome, Facebook, Google that I don't want on my phone. You can hook up your phone with a USB-C cable to your computer and uninstall pre-installed apps that you don't want on your phone. I removed Google and Samsung apps and packages that I didn't want on my phone this way. Guide
> Tasker
I don't know if you messed around with URL-schemes at all with your iOS devices, but I absolutely loved automating routine tasks with them when I was on iOS with Launch Center Pro, Drafts and Workflow. Tasker takes a different approach to device automation from URL-schemes, but it allows for some very powerful automation for your device.
It has a somewhat of a steep learning curve, but if you are familiar with programming concepts, you should be able to set up some really nifty profiles for your device. I have simple scripts such as: if I am connected to the cell towers near my home -> turn on wifi -> if I am connected to my home's network -> Turn on sound mode, change screen timeout to 5 mins. If I am not connected to the cell towers near my home -> turn off wifi -> Turn on vibration mode, change screen timeout to 1 min. It takes some time to learn, but it's very powerful, and well worth the time investment, imo. Download link
Also, some general notes:
Yes, I did this using Tasker.
Tasker isn't easy to setup but it's soooo powerful. I don't have access to the ruleset right now but I from memory I believe I created an hourly sync (only when connected to WiFi) that would sync the WhatsApp media folders on the phone with a Tresorit Directory.
Sure, first you'll need Tasker. It's a bit pricey but well worth it in my opinion. I think I know how to do what you want, let me know if you decide to install and I'll share the details.
Look into Tasker. There are many plugins to extend its functionality, but it lets you do many types of things like this.

Sony removed Xperia Actions. The last phone to have the integrated app was Xperia XZ2 Premium. After XZ3, which includes Xperia 10, and Xperia 10 Plus, Xperia 1; do not have Xperia Actions.
See picture in: https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/83u7m0/what_does_optimize_your_xperia_for_gaming/
Which would toggle auto DND Do Not Disturb while playing video games and white list games to be added. I really wish Xperia Actions to come back. We only see a dissected part of it as those options move to an independent Gaming Mode in the Flagship Xperia 1 devices.
The alternative besides manual DND while playing a video game; you can use an app called "Tasker" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en_US
Someone on G+ sugged it as an alternative to Xperia Actions. But it has a huge learning curve I spent 5 hours trying to figure it out, but I gave up. You can give it a shot and might have better luck than I did. Then you can teach me how to use it.
Usually, when features are removed from Sony, it's because Google Android has grandiose plans for themselves. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-android-q-settings-routines/

It's a home grown solution using Tasker for Android. Have a lot of little nuggets like this using this app.
Pretty sure Tasker can do that...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I loved this idea! After reading this I immediately converted an old unrootable phone to high end PC monitor.
Some tips to make it more user friendly for whoever interested:
Connect the power cord to PC, and set USB power off in BIOS if applicable. It severs two purpose: 1. It'll act like a power button for the phone, and 2. you can use it to control the phone with PC
Also, since Remote System Monitor hides the status bar at the top, I recommend downloading Battery Monitor Mini so you can keep an eye on phone battery level and temperature.
​
Again, Thanks OP for this great idea!
There are a lot of great resources at /r/tasker (specifically on the sidebar).
I tested it out this morning and it worked great on my ride, though I was not testing extensively - just making sure that it turned me into a ride-on machine.
Here is the XML file for importing into Tasker.
Here are some quick instructions for what to do with that file.
Obviously, this requires Tasker ($3.49), which is a paid app, along with the AutoInput plugin, which can be purchased via an IAP to the AutoApps app plugin ($1.99), which is also a paid app.
If you want to stick with messages, then disable the notification sound, download Tasker and make it make the sound instead.
If Android then something like Tasker should do this. Imagine there is something similar for iPhone. Probably some lighter weight options. Tasker will do all kinds of stuff.
e: that said, maybe just stick a note to the dashboard or steering wheel.
It's sort of a macro tool on steroids. It's so widespread that many, many Android apps that provide connections (called Intents) for Tasker. Basically, anything you can dream up, you can make Android do, using Tasker.
Tasker is a completely incredible scripting tool/framework for Android devices & applications. It provides a huge amount of power & flexibility for control and automating anything on Android devices. There's also a very large number of special purpose plug-ins that allow interfacing with Android system features, on-device services, online services, stand-alone devices, automotive stuff, location features, IoT control, voice recognition & control, etc. etc.
It's pretty huge, but there are tons of user-created tasks that you can use or modify. It's not the simplest thing around, but it's quite amazing, and the developers are really great guys.
If you're even moderately technically inclined, Tasker can open up a universe of possibilities. Here are some usage examples. The author has a bunch of videos on YouTube, and many other people have created tutorials as well.
If you're an android user:
Tasker
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Event: Incoming text from hub
If you're on Android, you can try out Tasker. Tasker is just like IFTTT, but with more functionalities to do more complex phone automation tasks. It is a paid app but it's well worth the money. You can also visit /r/tasker to learn about what Tasker is capable of achieving.
The best thing about Android is that everything and anything can be modified to work in some way or another. Here is a modded version of GCam that launches on S10's. Because it's an APK(application package), you'll need to first allow installation from "Unknown sources" in settings. Using any extraction app, place the contents of this zip into /Internal Storage/GCam/Configs/ ("Internal Storage"'s actual name will vary, it's just the top-level folder you can access.) If you then double tap the black area next to the shutter button in the app, select " s10csMar2.xml " and it'll allow you to use the patched GCam easily.
You want it to show the notif contents after scanning your face...? That unlocks it, so uh... I guess you can just slide down the notification panel? Lol
The Gallery app actually tends to keep a large cache for me at least (hold the app, App Info or something like that, and it'll be in Storage, where you can see how much is App, how much is Data and how much is Cache). I've never noticed it enough to have it bother me.
The lighting up thing is honestly a horrible idea in my opinion, we tend to just do that with sound, and Edge Lighting if needed - but if you must have it then check out Tasker, which is an absolute must-have app for Android users. Presumably, you'd set up the triggering Event to be "Notification" with all the fields set to Any, and the Task to be "Display - Turn On". There's probably a cleaner, more integrated way to do to it but you can do just about anything with Tasker so I strongly recommend downloading it and learning how to use it. It also has integration with the "AutoApps" series of plugins for Tasker.
Google's setting for that may be related to Trusted Voice, which attempts to recognise your voice. Try to find that setting maybe?
I didn't feel much of a difference personally between the S20+ and S10+, but maybe it was slightly top heavier. I can't remember. I wouldn't stress over it.
Remember to install microG (on the same page) if you want to use Vanced unrooted (and as I did mention it's not worth rooting anymore on S10 and up), and check out modified apps for various things you use! The Android scene for them is pretty huge.
I also advise setting a system-wide AdBlock : there's different ways to do it including a PiHole, Blokada (free local-VPN based solution), or a host file edit through root, but the easiest option by far is to find the Private DNS setting and set it to http://dns.adguard.com/.
Be aware that you can claim a free pair of Buds+ with the S20+ in most English-speaking countries at the moment, as far as I'm aware.
I'm also going to link SystemUI Tuner, an app which lets you control a lot of how your interface looks a lot more (disable status bar notifs, enable Immersive Modes, disable the Brightness and Volume warnings, etc...) --- be aware that without root, you will have to use a PC to grant it a specific permission, you only need to do that once though.
Tasker came to mind right away. Powerful tool, learning curve attached. Plenty of online resources for it though.
I imagine this could be achieved with Tasker
That's tricky... maybe there is a low-tech source of light you could use that's easier to control? Like take apart a flashlight and run the wires into your pocket?
Maybe you can do it using Tasker, find some clever way to get a message, or SMS, or notification on the phone that Tasker can respond to and then turn on the flashlight in response to that? Or maybe just have Tasker turn the flashlight on and off randomly or on a timer of some sort?
If you're gonna have WiFi at the party you could hook the phone up to WiFi and Tasker could receive commands that way maybe?
You can look at leveraging one or more of the "AutoApps" plugins for Tasker.
It costs a few bucks but Tasker is super cool and well worth the purchase. I use it for all sorts of stuff.

I do this with Tasker! I set a ringtone at night and a different one during the day, but you could customize that to whatever you want like when you're connected to certain WiFi or GPS location or whatever. I instead have it lower my volumes when I'm on my work WiFi and go to vibrate mode when I'm connected to school WiFi, then when I'm not connected to any WiFi it goes back to loud
Highly recommend you check it out!

You can do this with scheduler apps such as Tasker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm) there you can create a profile that syncs a certain number of pages when connected to a WiFi or on a specific time of day.

Unlike /u/mollydooka, I do not require Android Auto.
Technically it isn't a recent download (I've been using it for 5 years now) but I'd definitely recommendTasker.
sorry to hear that didn't work out ...
.. if you rooted your phone, it would give you acces to modifying the microphone sensitivity settings either by using the Tasker app or a dedicated app such as Root Volume Mixer +Booster/Microphone [beta] - but personally I'd rather not mess with root.
OR
... to stop the vibration you could get something like this ...

I set up my GM factory remote starter to work with Google assistant on my phone by using tasker and autoinput. When triggered with "OK Google, start my truck" it opens the Onstar app on my phone and makes the taps required to start my truck for me. It's the only work around I could find for the lack of support for Google Assistant from Onstar.

It's a paid app, not that expensive. It's worth all the money.
If you have Tasker, you can make a profile to do it for you automatically. Also, what I like about it is that you can make it do things for you and reduce the need for additional apps on your phone
Hey thanks for the update! Also I totally understand the reminder thing, I have a reminder system (alpha) that I made with Tasker and it's more work than people would assume. Even date math on its own isn't easy. Then there's features to consider such as how you're going to code repeating reminders, limited repeating reminders, UI, and timezones.
Estoy seguro que con Tasker lo podrías hacer, es paga, me la compré hace poco, nunca compro una app ni en pedo pero esta no funcionaba pirateandola entonces bueno la compré y lo valió mucho.
En realidad el propósito es de automatizar lo que quieras del celular, por ejemplo que cuando tal sensor detecta tal cosa, o te llega un mensaje o es determinada hora del dia, que el celular haga las acciones que le pones.
Pero a vos también te sirve porque tiene para crear "escenas" que es una interfaz a la que le podes poner botones o lo que sea y que funcionen con la programación de la app, y ta ahi podes hacer lo que se te ocurra, importar datos de archivos, hacer variables, control de flujo o hasta meterle un script de Javascript
I would actually recommend Tasker instead as it allows users to do a lot more.
If you use Tasker, then you could set a trigger so that when you receive a certain SMS that is does a "Lockdown" lock which doesn't allow biometrics.
There are other things you could do to augment that, such as hiding the quick settings tiles on your lock screen, doing a Lockdown when airplane mode is enabled.
I can help you set this up with Tasker, but it may be battery intensive as Tasker would constantly be polling the motion sensors.
Would only tracking sleep when your phone is charging work?
Sure!
I use this app to automate some interesting things on my phone such as send my wifi password when sent a trigger phrase. It varies in usability but the more creative you are the better :)
You can import this directly into Tasker and use it immediately.
You gotta establish a way to send events to eventghost from your android device. The easiest way is through Tasker and plug-ins Tasker is pretty much eventghost for Android. You can make a profile to scan barcodes and then send it to eventghost through another plugin. I haven't these much in a hole so I'm not sure if they'll work for your purposes, but I hope this will point you in the right way.

Any plans to add Tasker support?
I use Tasker.
The UI isn't the most user friendly at first, but it is a powerful tool. At one point it was the only tool and I've been using it forever. Granted, it is mostly for simple tasks.
>Are you talking about CEC? I just found out it was a thing and yes my TV has it, but I have to open up the remote app on my phone to get it to turn the TV on. Do you know of any workarounds to where I could use Google Assistant without having to get a Chromecast to turn on the TV?
If you can turn the TV on with your phone you might be able to add the TV to Google Home app and turn it on/off from their just depends on the TV brand. Or if you have an android phone you can probably use an app like Tasker to open the app and turn it on. But I would check out the Google Home app first because that would be the easiest way.
Tasker could be your best bet.
Add calendar events by typing into a single text field, then it processes the text and adds it to my calendar.
If you want to go this method and want colors, then I'll implement them into the task if you can supply the Hex color codes that you want.

Voice to text for whatsapp messages.
Pop up dictionary.
Modify navbar buttons.
Convert app names to Play Store links.
Lots of other little things.
That all sounds fine although you don't need the full 6 hours as just a few will do. (Likely not a new battery you've been given though.)
You can automate the cycling between 20% and 80% using an app like Tasker as seen in the three links within this comment from r/tasker
In that case I recommend Tasker, it's pretty easy to do in Tasker but you'll need a computer to give Tasker the permission to change certain settings using ADB.
yep tasker + addon to manipulate with notification is crazy powerful, check automation - in this you can probably do it for free
just create task/flow which will cancel notification with certain key world and paly som notification sound
I use Tasker and AutoNotification to do this.

Typically what you would do is set up an MQTT server, connect Node-red to it using the MQTT node. As for displaying it on a mobile you have several options, personally on Android I use Tasker and KWGT for my personal projects.
I use the HTTP input and output along with node-red-contrib-httpauth to generate a simple API to pull data to the Tasker profile
Another option is to use the node-red-dashboard and simply access it from your phone

My alarm clock is a simple Tasker task that randomly chooses a number between 1 and 10 or so, each corresponding to a particular song I put on my phone that is peaceful at first but gradually gets louder. I'm always adding more!
You could achieve this with Tasker

Now I'll have to make sure to actually disable "Flip to Shhh" once I get it natively, as my phone reacts to more things than simply being flipped over...
For those curious, my phone is silent when:
* it's flipped over
* I'm at work (using geofences)
* I have an entry in my calendar (like for cinema)
I've got a Profile that runs at midnight, checking for upcoming entries in my Google:Birthdays calendar. It creates notifications for birthdays or any event (e.g., anniversaries). Each notification has a bell icon, which can be tapped to quickly create a Google Assistant Reminder, or the notification itself can be tapped to bring up the individual's profile in the Contacts app.

Maybe tasker could do what you need, otherwise try with a good coffee.
You can do this with KWGT and Tasker. Basically just tell Tasker to read the text file every so often (or whenever it changes), then add a "KWGT Send Variable action".
It's pretty simple to setup and the hardest part will be making the widget. If you need help, then you can ask on /r/tasker.
Tasker sounds like it would be right up your street.

I use Tasker to monitor the %WIN variable for Apps and when Tasker sees that, it sends a broadcast variable to KLWP to switch the background to a different image while the app drawer is open. When the app drawer closes, it goes back to displaying the the KLWP wallpaper. I'm using Microsoft Launcher but it works with Nova as well.
>Oh dude, I just moved to Android because budget but damn I miss all this power! I did wonders with drafts5, fantastical, editorial, pythonista, shortcuts and omnifocus.
I do like all of those apps you mentioned also. I'm sorry to hear Android doesn't have similar apps.
>Sometimes I miss my iPhone and my automatioms so much
I don't know too well personally, but i think there are automation options in Android.
I've seen people use Tasker and Automate to great effect.
You could do that with Tasker.
I use Tasker for that: various volume levels for car and for headphones.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Does that look like the one you're talking about ?
And it should have limited Tasker integration on Android so we can do the same!
My current solution is to detect the unlock method and close bitwarden whenever my phone's not Pin or Password unlocked.
I'd try Tasker! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Otherwise, consider learning how to write an app.
Tasker with the AutoNotification plugin can be used for this. If you need further help using them seek r/Tasker.
It's an app that automates things in the background of your phone. It's like Samsung's Bixby Routines or Apple's Shortcuts but is a little more hands on. It's the ultimate customization tool. It's a little difficult to get started on it but is very fun to figure out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I'd recommend that you ask over in /r/ languagelearning.
You could probably come up with something using Tasker, but I'm not sure if the effort required in using Tasker for this would be worth the payoff
If you look in the sidebar of a sub before posting, you'll notice this sub is for an device automation app called Tasker and not any employment related apps with a similar name.
Hi, I have very similar setup in my car and I was able to achieve what you want with a combination of Tasker ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en ) and Bluetooth Autoconnect ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect&hl=en ).
I have a task, where if my phone connects to Parrot in my car, it triggers the force auto-connect to the A2DP Bluetooth device.
If you're looking for Efficiency with a bit of a learning curve, check out Tasker and T-UI.
I recommend the F-Droid version of the launcher as it has SMS support so you can send text messages straight from the command line, and you can make this easier by setting up aliases for people you frequently text.
Yep, I had that too. It's tasker - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Thanks Senko but since I use Tasker I no longer have to worry about that. It's a revolutionary app that truly changed my life!
cue non-existent teleshop commercial
Really though, check it out. It's Android-only and a paid app but the sheer number of things you can automate with it more than justify the small price.
You'll have to set it up yourself, but it can certainly handle this type of automation. I have mine set up to change my alarm/notifications/media volumes depending on my location/what app I have opened. I have "presets" set up, and I created a dialog with sliders so I can control what volumes should be used for those presets; when my location services determines I am at home it triggers my "Home" profile with audible notifications, while when I am away from home it triggers my "Away" profile setting my device to vibrate only. When I open Google Maps it sets the media volume to near max so I can hear the navigation prompts over my engine/road noise. You could definitely have it set specific volumes when you connect to Bluetooth.
Forewarning, there is definitely a learning curve with Tasker, but it is extremely powerful once you get a hang of it; you can do muuuch more complex stuff than even your example.
Depending on what kind of data you're moving, it's relative easy to do with Tasker and Spreadsheet Tasker Plugin. Although this method uses Google sheets and not Excel.
Here's how I do it right now:
All of this will be for naught in a few weeks when Google "replaces" it with "Let's Drive" for the Google Assistant.
I believe you will need Tasker to get, store, and compare the data before sending it to KLWP.
Sounds like a job for Tasker.
Sorry for the late reply
Apps like Tasker seem to be the way most android users use automation, and it's pretty powerful (albeit unintuitive at times) from what I've heard about it.
Recent Samsung devices (S10 generation) have a Bixby Routines feature built in, but I can't say anything about its feature set. For other Samsung devices, there's a Routines app as part of their Good Lock suite that can do more basic tasks (change settings, open an app, etc.)
Thanks! So you're using Termux and Tasker on an Oreo GO device with no problems?
I'm guessing you don't use java tools directly within Termux itself? But you can infer they work, by Tasker working?
I guess this is Tasker? I see App Creation: create your own standalone apps to share or sell!
That's probably got to build apk's (for the app store), but compiling java is not necessary. You could do it with some runtime code, plus a config file (like a scripting language). An "apk" is just a zip file, with certain constraints on filenames and contents, so you could DIY, if the usage was very specific. Though it does seem likely Tasker just uses the standard tools .
Finally... the tools I'm interested in are very likely to work anyway, because they don't interact with the rest of android and have no io, apart from inputting file/s and outputing file/s.
It would just be reassuring to have it directly confirmed before I buy... But I think few people develop java apps on android like me.
EDIT you mentioned AIDE? Thar seems to support full java apps, and even has a "apk signing" message in an image! If you've had this working on an Oreo GO device, that's pretty compelling reassurance!
Tasker is your best bet.
Buy Tasker and then create shortcuts on your home screens to activate Tasks you create. Same thing, right? Unless I am misinterpreting your question.
I've encountered the same oddity. It's unclear if Google Assistant is supposed to ring your device if you ask ("OK Google, ring/find my phone"). Google's "Find your phone" help article leads me to believe that this functionality only works with a Google Home device.
~~Alternatively, this may be possible with~~ ~~IFTTT~~ ~~or~~ ~~Tasker~~ ~~with~~ ~~AutoVoice~~~~.~~
Edit: Looks like this can easily be accomplished using Routines in Google Assistant. I set up a Routine to maximize media volume and say "I'm over here!" when I say "OK, Google... find my phone/where are you?"
One major reason I switched from iPhone to Android was the ability to automate certain tasks. If that is of interest to you then you've gotta check out the de-facto standard in Android tasking and all around awesome app, Tasker!
Check out Tasker if you are interested in full device automation. It's a pretty amazing app that can do just about everything.

I am sorry the video is laggy, I have a potato phone, and it doesn't take screen recording well, but the wallpaper itself is smooth in everyday use.
Most of mine have been mentioned. One I use and have used for many years is Tasker. Use it to run a number of basic routines.
Soe of the simple ones:
Turn of AOD when phone is charging at night and back o in the morning
Turn off wifi when I leave home and back on when I return home
When I dock my phone in the car, launch Waze
When I turn the car off, close Waze.
When I get to work, turn on wifi, turn ringer and notification volumes down just a little.
If I have an appointment in my work calendar, AND I'm physically at work, mute my phone for the duration of the appointment. Which also has exceptions for certain keywords in the appointment title that I don't want to mute for.
When I dismiss my alarm in the morning (I use Gentle Alarm - Tasker can trigger off alarm dismiss), I perform a number of small actions.
​
Gentle Alarm is my other must have app. It's the perfect alarm clock app. Massively configurable and has many options for alarms, pre alarms, increasing volume over time, increasing brightness etc etc....
​
Oh and Disconnect Pro - Samsung's own system wide ad blocker. It's expensive, but they used to occasionally give it away for free, which is when I got it. It's fantastic. NO complext setting up. Just install and it works. It runs on KNox, which is how it manages to have system wide blocking.
Because of this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
LPT: Grab Tasker or Llama (now called Automate, I think) and have the phone turn everything down, at night, by-itself ... but, more importantly, make it turn all the volumes back up to full, prior to your first alarm every day.
Those who want to twist all the dials will likely already have Tasker... though LlamaLabs new offering looks intriguing, as well (I used to use it for simple locatiom-based things ... but moved to Tasker when I wanted to start harnessing SMS/MMS interactions with my phone)
Have a look at Tasker, I use it in combination with MQTT to send data from and to my HA instance.

Ahh, ok. I may be throwing you into the deepend if you're not familiar with it. If you're technical, you'll be right at home. You would however have to be using an Android phone with Watch..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
The idea of this is to covert your GPS to name by using a feature of Tasker. It can Post HTTP data (GPS) to Google and Google (or another Map service) replies with a town in your desired language. This is then sent as a variable to Watchmaker.

Do you have an Android phone? If so, you can add Brinks to the exception list in do not disturb, so their calls can come through.
Also, using Tasker, you can intercept the Nest notification, disable silent mode, set volume to Max and have your phone sound an alarm.
Hope this helps.

UPDATED
Using Tasker, AutoWeb, Transport API and Walllapers Unlimited - Get real time data of nearby train stations and live departures from.
I'm still perfecting a few bugs, but let me know if you are interested in this. Also, any ideas. The API offers a lot of information and this paper has come in useful a few times.
Download links:
Paper: http://www.getwatchmaker.com/wallpaper/sB1xQSaRudN
Tasker Project: TaskerNet URL
Instructions
Installing the TaskerNet link will create a new project (tab).
Install AutoWeb. If its not available, sign up for beta through AutoApps. Open AutoWeb and Browse Available APIs and import the Transport API.
Then, create an account to obtain a free app id and app key from https://www.transportapi.com/. Once you have your key/id, you can do one of two things.
Check the TrainsGetLive and TrainsFindStations Tasks and edit the variable set actions for your API Key and app id accordingly. Or, you could add these as default parameters to AutoWeb. If you do this, delete or deactivate the variable set actions for the Key/ID.
Install wallpaper. In app, hit Find Stations below the map. It may take upto 2 minutes to update. It should offer upto 4 nearest Stations. Tapping on the stations on the left will find trains for this station. I've added a cooldown timer so you can get an idea of how long things should take. It really is that simple to use.
When actually using live wallpaper, when you tap things, it may actually take a minute for Tasker variables to pass across and update. This is an issue with WU that has been addressed. However, they will update in due course (2 minutes max).
There are likely bugs, I haven't been able to test what happens if say only one or two stations are found. Please share any screenshots of eyesores and bugs so I can fix and tune.
Thanks and enjoy

Perhaps you have an app that is overriding your setting? Are you using the app Tasker by any chance?
Um app que o pessoal sempre fala muito bem é o Tasker, pra automatizar um monte de coisa no celular. Tá R$ 11,99 e tô monitorando o preço faz uns meses pra ver se baixa e eu compro ele. Tô com 60 Reais mas sou pão duro. Kkkkk
Se você usa alguma Mi Band da Xiaomi pode ser interessante pegar a versão Pro do app Notify & Fitness for Mi Band. Quando testei a versão grátis achei muito boa, mas comprei a paga logo e não lembro exatamente quais as diferenças entre ambas. Deve estar uns 10 Reais. O app oficial da Xiaomi é uma porcaria.
A versão paga, Nova Launcher Prime, do Nova Launcher, também é bacana.
Um app bem legal que uso pra monitorar a bateria do celular (parâmetros mais físicos/elétricos, não de consumo por app e afins) é o 3C Battery Monitor Widget Pro. Ele tem uma versão grátis bem completa, também (novamente, não lembro bem o que a paga adiciona sobre a grátis). Me divirto bastante com ele.
Você também pode dar uma olhada nos apps que você já usa se existe alguma versão paga que habilita algumas funções extras (isso pode vir desde uma compra dentro do app que "desbloqueia" as funções até a compra do outro app direto pela Play Store)
Se curte monitorar a alimentação e/ou musculação dois apps que recomendo são o cronometer pra alimentação e o iMuscle 2 para os músculos. O primeiro é extremamente completo na questão de nutrientes, deixa MyFitnessPal no chinelo, já o segundo é bacana porque mostra que músculos são usados em cada exercício, bem como explica como realizar aquele exercício. Alternativas ao iMuscle 2 são o MuscleMatics e o Fitness & Bodybuilding, mas esses dois hoje em dia são por assinatura (quando eu comprei ainda era compra única, eles mudaram o esquema mas honraram a venda, então eu não preciso pagar mensalmente pra usar).
Se joga Pokémon Go acho que dá pra comprar uns itens por lá, também. Dê uma olhada nos jogos que você já joga se eles têm algo do tipo.
Jogos eu não posso recomendar porque hoje em dia já não jogo mais nada, e livros também não porque, apesar de não ler muito, opto sempre por meios não tão lícitos quanto os que você usou para conseguir o dinheiro na Play Store.
Você também pode usar esse dinheiro pra fazer um upgrade no armazenamento do Google Drive (é assinatura, então teria que ficar pagando mensalmente/anualmente) ou assinar qualquer outro serviço (tipo YouTube e YouTube Music, os concorrentes também devem aceitar pagamentos por este meio).
Finalmente, você pode guardar esse dinheiro e esperar aparecer algo do seu interesse. Se você comprou o cartão (aquele que vende em mercados e afins) imagino que o dinheiro fique lá pra sempre, já se você conseguiu esse dinheiro por aquele Google Rewards (onde você responde umas pesquisas e ganha um crédito) fica de olho na validade que acho que eles expiram depois de um ano.
Obs.: só achei estranho aquele "consegui o dinheiro de formas lícitas". Kkkkk, brincadeira.
Boas compras. ;)
I'm still new to it myself, but you could try messing with Tasker and see if you can set it to auto launch that way.

It's essentially a "you don't have to type the code to make apps in java" app. Largely about automating your phone. Can do some awesome stuff with it. There a sub-reddit for it.
Tasker and auto apps auto web could be very useful for this. I have a profile set up that turns on my bedside fan through home assistant when sleep as Android starts sleep tracking. And for the alarm, you could maybe set a variable with the alarm time minus an hour. There are a few different ways to do that, depending on which app you use for alarms.
Edit: the poster that mentioned auto alarm has a great point. That Tasker plugin should be able to get the next alarm time.

Like a lot of people, I've automated this using Tasker. No idea if it saves me any battery, but I'm a master-of-laziness and it sure saves me effort. I almost never have to switch Wi-Fi or mobile dara on and off manually
Assuming you've got an Android phone? If so download Tasker. Think about it like IFTTT is for services and Tasker is for functions.
I handle this exact thing with two Tasker profiles:
1 is easy enough to do. If you need a hand with 2, I can export the profile for you and send it over.
I created a custom template on my WordPress installation that displays a blank black page. Scroll down and it has (auto-populated) fields for title, date, & tags. Avoids the distractions of WP's default post creation screen and its problematic autosave implemention. My phone loads the address every morning while I'm asleep via a timed Tasker profile, clean and fullscreen.
Learned that even though I don't always summon the energy to actually write them, reminding myself of the intention markedly improves the habit of recalling them.
I bet you can use Tasker to do this.
Wenn du wlan im auto hast (was ich gar nicht kannte und total sexy finde) und neben einer gewissen genervtheit auch noch spieltrieb dann besorg dir tasker und paar NFC sticks.
Dann musst du nie wieder was manuell umstellen.
Je n'ai pas testé mais ça semble réalisable avec ces applis :
Not OP but the simplest way I've found on android is Tasker + MQTT Client.
Tasker triggers when my alarm sounds:
Admittedly, its the simplest for me because I already have a HASS.io setup.

Message me on telegram @c0mpl3xy. I'll show you how to set it up
Not entirely sure what you're asking for, but maybe try Tasker?

Tasker might have something. There is a pretty active subreddit

It will cost you a couple of dollars, but you can use Tasker to turn bluetooth on your tablet off. Normally disconnecting bluetooth while audio is playing causes it to pause. There are several plugins you could use to make it a very clean and automated process of you so desired.
It's a one time purchase app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
If you don't own it yet and you know you won't use its other features, I'd recommend against buying it just for the icon. There might be other ways to do this.
But if you already own it like I did then it's an easy solution
I wonder if you could get what you're looking for using an IFTTT Recipe?
This one's close, but most everything in IFTTT can be tweaked.

Also, maybe look into Tasker.

SABS (it still works, despite having an expired Knox key)
Could you elaborate on your logging question? I use Toggl's api to directly sync it yo their servers. Granted, my method does use mobile (arguably small though). You could probably set it up in such a way that it doesn't send post to the server til your on wifi.
Idk what OS your using, but if your using Android I recommend either Tasker or AutoMagic. Both are really good IMO. Last time I checked AutoMagic had an advantage when it came to api request and post, but I believe Tasker had a big update recently and more api stuff could've been added in. Of course if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
I don't really care that much about custom Roms as per be able to (this copy and paste) create tasks and profiles with Tasker and Autoapps.
I have made from custom "I can not move because of the baby" panic buttons to "touch my cheap fit band when driving to trigger my custom voice menu actions" profiles. Several of these use root access for things like simulate screen touch or swipes or unlock a locked device.
Although I'm not quite sure if this works, I can point you to a way:
Tasker (paid) was recently updated with the ability to modify system settings. Create a task, add an action and type in "custom setting" in the filter, then select that action. Under "type" select system, under "name" tap the magnifying glass and tap select settings. Then in the filter type in clock. You'll see a bunch of options and one of them is lockscreen_clock_color. It has a default value of -1. Since it's a colour setting I'm guessing it'll be a hexidecimal value from 000000 to FFFFFF depending on what you want. So put in the one you want in the "value" section and then run the action and see what happens. Maybe you'll need a reboot idk.
Alternatively you can also flash a custom ROM like Resurrection Remix if your device supports it. It's much easier to pick a colour this way since there will be a colour picker.
