I am trying to replace HTC Home, i dont like how slow it makes my phone. The idea is to have a bunch of different plugins and such in UltimateLaunch.
these are the main things I want in UltimateLaunch, and I was wondering if you guys could help me out in finding them?
clock
I really liked the look of the clock in HTC Home, I used the DigitalGlow Yellow one. does anyone know of a good clock today plugin that i could use in UL?
photo contact dialer
This feature was awesome. I found one today screen app that was ripped from a TREO 700w (link) but it seems to run really slowly. It gets the job done, but I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for a faster one?
weather
I have tried Pocketweather and SPB weather but didnt like either of them. I just want an app that has the current conditions, and a few days in advance, do you guys have any ideas?
Thanks for looking at my post and helping out. If i could find all of this stuff, it would be amazing.
What about the automatic ringer? that one feature is why I use HTC Home
what do you mean by automatic ringer?
Search for rlToday. I think some have used it to make an HTC Home like today screen. I think dcd has offered to share his code if asked.

On the 6-tab version... I belive it's the far right tab: the one that lets you select sound off, vibrate and ringer on. The far right option: automatic ringer. Best feature ever on a phone.
spb phone plugin offers automatic ringer also, if by automatic you mean that it goes silent when you are in a meeting and such.
I assume that's what they mean... i have htc home and it automatically goes into vibrate when i'm in meetings, it is a nice feature for the forgetful mind... now if everyone's phone did it. maybe at the movies too that would be a nice feature

what does it actually do? like how does it work? time based? and where are the settings? i only use silent and vibrate.
Turns off the ringer when you have an outlook appointment schedueled as 'busy' (default appointment)
I set my classes as a recurring appointment (as well as finals) so the phone ringer automatically turns off when a class starts. As to not piss off professors, embarass myself and/or bother with turning off and on the ringer several times a day.
works for meeting, etc. as well, of course

I have my phone set to vibrate and ring. If I set it to automatic, will it not ring and still vibrate, or is there a registry setting to set it that way?

I will agree with this assessment.
I kind of hate that this is my first post - A little pedestrian - I've been a longtime lurker and thanks to a lot of this forum, I made the jump yesterday to a rooted MyTouch 3G with Cyanogen's latest. I'm pleased.
Coming from a BlackBerry, I've been spoiled by the easy-switch between "profiles", specifically the ability to set the device to only ring for calls and not for SMS or other notifications.
I'm finding a one-touch solution difficult to come by - And I've already tried "Profiles", "Auto Ring", "Toggle Settings" and "Ring Toggle" - Each of them is either a multi-step process to get to "just ring for calls" or won't turn off SMS vibration, a common issue?
Anyway, great community here and I hope to be a small part. If anyone knows a simple, reliable way to set my phone to just ring (for nighttime important calls) and silent everything else (except alarms) - Please let me know!
Thanks!

Um have you tried going into settings, sound/display -> ringer volume? You can check a box and mute your notification sounds. Personally, I find this really easy already but if you must have that one-touch then.. I don't know

It isn't a deal-breaker or anything, but even with a shortcut to "Sound & display", it's a few extra swipes and pokes
I was hoping there was a shortcut directly to that screen or just a simple on-screen button that could turn everything but alarms and calls off.
Thanks

i think that if it were developed it would need to also toggle the "vibrate on" selection within each notification setting for the various apps that utilize notifications. like gmail app, email app, exchange app, messaging apps, sms/mms etc. it is currently an android weakness compared to winblow and dingleberry but the other strengths of the os outweigh this and a few other features' immaturity. try the market...
well as of right now I can offer you one thing that requires 3 clicks lol
use a shortcut widget! But that is almost as long as doing it normally... lol
although there may be a way using better cut (trying to figure that out)
yeahhh I don't know what else you can do ;p
I give up looking for it. I tried using better cut / any cut and tried the "make your own shortcut"
Apparently there is an intent to adjust the volume but.. I don't know what to put in the "data" field. Searched around and not many people know how to use this feature either haha

...point about "vibrate on" is that you'd need a shortcut (as you say) for each app if, like me, you activate "vibrate on" as part of the notification profile for each of the app examples i listed above. in other words, simply silencing notifications volume from settings/ringer_volume/use_incoming_call_volume_for_notifications has no effect on the "vibrate on/off" selection profile for the individual apps.
It seems like the whole "SMS vibrations are different" deal is what really makes this a difficult implementation - Every application I've tried has difficulty specifically with silencing SMS vibrations that are turned on - Otherwise, it's totally possible - Very, very strange that this is still an issue...

This application is no longer being developed or supported. The source code is available on CodePlex, however. Enjoy!
Description
Mute4 is a very simple application. When run, it allows you to set your phone to the vibrate or silent profile and also set a timeout for when you want it to restore the normal volume profile.
Going to a movie? Set Mute4 for three hours. Going to a meeting? Set Mute4 to one hour. Just need a short coffee break without the phone ringing? Set Mute4 to 15 minutes.

License
This app is released under the Ms-RL.
Requirements
WM5/6/6.5
How to use
Run Mute4, then click on the Metro-style buttons to cycle through the options. The profiles available are Vibrate and Silent. The default timeouts are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, and three hours.
The "Metro style" UI was chosen for the same reason Microsoft did: it takes no time to make something look so 'basic' and I'm lazy. ;-)
How to create custom timeouts
Go to the application installation folder (\Program Files\Mute4 usually) and edit settings.ini. Under the Timeouts section, there are items called T1 through T5. The values are in minutes. You can edit those, add new lines, remove existing ones. Just remember that you can't have more than one variable name that are the same (as in, you can't have multiple "T1"). The INI reader doesn't like this. So make sure you make each variable name unique. But it doesn't really matter what you call it. The only other requiment is that the times be in increasing order. If they aren't, some values might be ignored. So if you do 15, 30, 20, the cycling will stop at 30 and cycle back to 15 in the UI.
Notes
Mute4 does not leave an app (or service) running to accomplish its task, so there is no performance degradation or battery life lost with its use. It sets a system timer to wake the phone up and run Mute4's "restore" app at the time you specified by the restore timer -- it's that simple. So have no fears about its use. In fact, you can even soft reset between running Mute4 and when the timer would normally fire and it will still fire right on time.

Changelog
Version 3
---------
- Modified the screen layout slightly to support square screens better.
- Fixed some bugs in the INI file parser (should not affect version 2.1 and older; this was related to saving INIs).
- Added the ability to modify the timeout settings within the application. Look under Menu (new right soft key) and Settings.
- The application actively checks before saving to see if Settings.ini is set to read-only and unsets the flag automatically.
- You can now select advanced mode, which lets you set the exact time the normal profile will be restored or a custom number of minutes from the current time.
- When a Mute4 timeout is set greater than 24 hours into the future, the cancel dialog will tell which day the phone is set to return to the normal profile.
- Minimizing Mute4 no longer exits the application.
- Cancel Mute4 timer button no longer flickers when pressed.
Version 2.1
-----------
- Fixed a bug in the V2 installer that set the settings.ini to read-only which could cause Mute4 to crash.
- The rare bug that was fixed in Version 2 apparently has siblings. Found another spot where enumerating the notification queue can cause a crash. Fixed.
Version 2
---------
- Fixed a bug where certain rare conditions would cause Mute4 to crash when you try to cancel an existing timer. Now Mute4 will try again and inform you if it is unable to clear the timer.
- Improved performance of some controls.
- Buttons gray out when inactive.
- Fixed a bug where certain timeout values would display incorrectly (for example, 45 minutes would display as 1 hour 45 minutes) due to incorrect math function.
- Fixed a bug (hopefully) where when on a phone call, the profile will not revert back to normal. The work around is to keep trying every five seconds until it works.
Version 1
---------
- Initial release
Thanks, such a simple idea, how did I live without this! I'm flashing today and will install asap and enjoy. Thank you.
Great idea! Will try it now. Thanks!
HTC TP2 - I want my phone volumne muted, but still want to listen to my music with my headphones. I have been told that stock WM have two seperate volumne settings, one for phone and one for device but that HTC's interface put them together.
Any idea if this mute profile is for the phone (ringer) or for the device? Would love to even take it a step further if possible to mute the phone, mute the external speaker, and keep the volumne for my music via a head set.
Nice idea, coz i always forget to switch it on back and kinda miss out some calls. Brilliant~

It affects both volumes. It uses the three built-in WM profiles (normal, vibrate, and silent) to switch, so the actual volume levels are not affected (in other words, when you switch back to normal, the volume is where you left it).
For more fine-grained volume control with a timer to reset, I recommend checking out a product called VolumeX. It should fit your needs nicely.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that if you are using Sense UI, it by default controls both volumes with one slider. If you go to settings, there's a checkbox to operate the volumes separately. That might be all you need. On the other hand, if you need a timed mute, Mute4 is for you. And if you need to manipulate volume levels on a timer, VolumeX is really great.
Very good application. I needed it...
Every so often an app comes along that quite simply kicks arse. This is one of those applications.
THANKYOU!!
Just a small bug. On my HD2, the taskbar icon doesn't change until you go in to the volume menu and then come back out of it. So it looks like the speaker is still on, even though it isn't. The same thing happens when you come back out of silent mode.

That's interesting. The icon is definitely changing on my TP2. It should change as soon as the profile is changed. Can you check to see if the same happens with other profile changing apps? For example, if you vibrate/silent using the system volume control?
Looks like its a bug in the ROM i'm using. If I change the profile under sound and display it does the same thing.
Great software
awesome app however I've always been finding one of these apps where i can schedule when it should be silent, when sound is supposed to on. Is it possible to include a scheduler in the program OP? or does anyone know any program that can allow me to schedule my sound profiles, thanks
Under your sound settings you should be able to set the phone to be on silent when you have a scheduled appointment in your calendar. You can with the HD2. Not sure about others.

yes that is tru however i would like to schedule it so it is silent when im class and not silent when not hence that wouldn't really help but thanks for the heads up
suggest a goodlooking icon for this guys..

Hi, perhase you can help me in this contence...
I tested Mute4 and also volumeX, but I didn' t find a solution for my problem.
For example in the programs "CraddleAlarn" or "Chronos" there is an input row, where I can insert a command which is executed at a from me choosen time.
I want to change to the "silent mode" each night at 2 h pm and to "normal mode" at 8 h pm.
I inserted the string "silent", but nothing happened.
Can you tell me the windows mobile system commands, that I have to put in there for silent, vibrate or normal (with the necessary prefix)?????
Thanks
Michael
Donated! Awesome app (especially once I set some custom time-outs).
Thanks!
Thank you! I remember having this feature on my Tapwave Zodiac and have missed it on every device ever since then! And now it has been restored!
THANKS ALOT man
this program is great
may i suggest making the timeouts like a clock, its really better and more handy
another thing, and i think its a bug
when set the profile to get back at anytime you want, and u are having a call then, or some body is calling you, the program doesnt change the profile, and stop trying to change it, even after the call has finished
i think making the program tries more than one time to restore the profile would solve that
Thanx again

Re: clock - Cool idea, but I won't be adding that. The source is available if anybody wants to do that.
Re: on call profile switching - Interesting find! I'll modify the profile changer to do exactly what you said... If it doesn't work, it will try again like a minute later until it 'takes.' That should solve the problem fairly well. it won't be perfect (as in there will be a lag between each retry) but it will get the job done.
One of the best apps in the Market for android is Tasker. Needless to say what transformation cand your phone get by using this app. You can see that here:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
and you can get it from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
I was just trying to find a collection of profiles for O1 and it seems there isn`t one, so why not having it right here.
So let`s get the best from our O1 by sharing the profiles we can use for different tasks. Practically there is no limit to what we can do with the phone using that app.
I also recommend you should post your system configuration because some tasks may not work on some roms, kernels etc.
LET YOUR SMARTPHONE BE SMART!
For people using ICS Roms, go to sttings>language and input method>text transformation result and select Pico TTS so you enable voice on Tasker.
I`ll start with a simple profile to make you phone stop ringing by turning it face down:
For this Context, you would choose State, then pick Orientation. You'll get the options you see at left. For this example, "Face Down" is a pretty deliberate action you take with your phone.
For the tasks, you can add "Bluetooth" and "WiFi" from the Net menu, set to Off, "GPS" from Misc set to Off, and set the volumes for "Media Volume" and "System Volume" to 0 from the Audio menu. If you'd like, you can re-order the tasks in priority by pressing and dragging them up the chain. In this case, I moved the volume-to-0 tasks up higher, since silencing the phone was the most important thing to do. Hit Done, and you're all set.
And there you go! Just flip the phone on it`s face to make it silent.

Am I the only one who thinks that an app doing something at absolutely anything you do with the phone, this is not draining, it just uses 100% of the CPU when you flip the phone...
And lets not mention that, to make phone silent when turned upside down means it has a permanent wakelock, and sensor constantly finding what is the position etc...
At the end, you will have a very smart phone, but you won't be able to answer a call, because when answering phone must change all the settings, and then reboot, and... whatever, this thing sucks! Just like juice defender, but it is oriented 100% on losing performance and battery and control over the phone...
Oh you can try to make it do a factory reset every day if it is so smart

Read first, post after. Tasker app does not keep your phone awake as most tasks are set to trigger while it is awake and the display is on. Like the task to open automatically wifi when you open your browser or xda app and set it off after closing those apps. And when setting triggers based on power settings or time, the wakelocks are not constant, being activated just like alarm wakelocks. In fact you can set smart alarms too. Or actions based on calls/sms/mms received from specific ppl at specific times etc., or actions based on gestures set by you, proximity sensor ...
Tested wakelocks with BBStatus and no wakelocks, the phone goes to deep sleep. Tested cpu freq with Cool Tool and max freq is used only when starting the triggered app or doing the task set. In the rest of the time the freq oscillates normally.
And please do not make comments on any app based on how other apps behave. Try it then post.
If anyone is using this app, post your profiles or the ones you think are usefull.
nice thread! let me share my fav profiles
@vlt
Yea, you are the only one who thinks it because otherwise the app wont get 4-5 stars at always if it is battery consuming also, just because the developer had explained clearly how the tasker consume battery. its in the userguide inside and im vrry satisfied with it.
@voyager
tasker is just amazing to me ive been using it for long because it really makes my phone even smarter.
undoubtedly yes, using sensors as a context is the most battery comsuming but we can Limit the use of its detection by ourselves. not mentioning its pre-installed functionality that it wont detect when screen off, for your silent mode thing we can add another context - how about only when our launcher is in the foreground? that makes things even easier
now im glad to share my most frequently used profiles (not giving you guys my private ones XD) including
- vibrate 0.3 second with a little toast msg when power is plugged
- vibrate 0.3 sec and show how much battery left with toast when power is unplugged
- weekdays auto vibration mode in the morning
- auto rotation only on browser
- temporarily disable lockscreen when specified apps are opened (my default set for u is calculator)
- CM7 camera anti-flickering (good for those who OC with stock kernel )
- brightness 80% when camera activates and restore after exit
although gestures and proximity sensor contexts are SUPER COOL, other than the time i show off to my friends xD, ive always been avoiding the sensors to eliminate any chances of over using them and cause batteries.
so, i guarantee my profiles are super battery friendly....
hehehe you must be tempted to download immediately? do it! tell me what do you think of my favourite profiles which are always activated on my P500
to import, unzip my zip and u get xml files. go to tasker, long press "profiles" tab, import, choose the xml. done!
lol dont worry abt the little tip, Miasmic never gives malicious tasks
Happy tasking!

I suppose camera anti-flickering profile uses the OC task and downclocks the phone when opening camera right?
Nice ideea!

How do you change OC on it?
.........
Set a profile which is based on a context on which the task will trigger, for example when open camera, set task to set clock to 600 Mhz, then set exit app task to reset the clock back to your usual OC freq.
You can play like that with almost everything on you phone.

I can't get it executes the task, the notification keep saying no active profiles. Imported missmic XML profiles (thanks to miasmic). please help, thanks....
Try setting some simpler tasks like start wifi when opening browser. Miassmic`s tasks can be set manually too.
Here`s another profile
Enable WiFi when at Home
Context: State –> Cell Near
Tap the “Start” button and move around your home as your area may be covered by several cells (the “<” sign represents the tower you’re currently connected to). You may stop it after few minutes.
Action: Net –> WiFi
Another profile which sets up a shortcut on home screen for taking instant photos, without opening camera app (point and shoot)
Long-press on the Home-screen > Shortcuts > Task
Action: Media –> Photo Series Time (So that new photos don’t overwrite the previous one and every new photo will have the time attached with its name.)
If discrete is checked, there will be no sign of the picture being taken.
Profiles i use
I attached some of my usual profiles.
What they do:
Missed call> after any missed call with display locked the phone vibrates 0.7 sec than waits one minute and says "you had one call x minutes ago" every minute for 30 minutes. Profile must be used with display unlocked profile
Display unlocked> if you had a missed call and unlock the phone the missed call profile stops
Charging>when connected to AC/usb (can be set to either or any) phone will vibrate 07 sec and say "charging"
Battery full>when connected to AC/usb (can be set to either or any) and battery reaches 100% the phone will say "battery full"
Profiles can be improved or modified easy to reach anyones expectations.
This application has a few problems like battery drain .
Another one is UI....it's a bit unfriendly by the way the cool thing is that you have that if :
if condition1 = or anything with condition 2 then execute .
Yap, a bit unfriendly, but once you now how...
Hi,
On cm 7.2, how do you set tasker to enable or disable pattern lock?
I'm on cm 7.2 since yesterday on my Desire. It's my first time on cm, actually. Before that, I used to be on HTC Desire specific roms. I'm rooted.
I've been using Tasker for quite a while, and by now I have a number of profiles that make me feel my phone is smart
Now, the big problem with Tasker is that it spoils you by doing all sorts of things automatically for you. And when a profile no longer works and you have to do things manually, you get really annoyed
And so, in that context, I have the following profile :
Profile : Home
Context : Cell Near
Variable Set %HOME to on
Wifi Set On
Secure Settings Configuration Pattern Lock disabled
Previously, before I switched to cm 7.2, this used to work perfectly, with GO Launcher and stock pattern lock. Now that I'm on cm 7.2 also with GO Launcher, Tasker can no longer act on pattern lock.
Any idea anyone?
Thanks,
Egg
SOLVED :
I solved my issue by complety removing Secure Settings and re-installing version 1.2.2 from Google Play.
So I am thinking about buying this app but.....
This app is incompatible with your device.

Hello All:
New oneplus 5 user, love my phone. But miss the ability to schedule timed DND or silent mode as I could with my S5. I have purchased Tasker. Lots of people say "it can be done", "it works fine", "you set up a profile" etc. But I've never used Tasker and I'd appreciate it if someone who actually has this working could post a tutorial, step by step.
I saw one poster talk about Tasker reading the file /sys/class/switch/tri-state-key/state
Sounds like it makes sense trying to coordinate with the hardware position, but again, don't have a clue where to start.
Anyone?
So I fiddled around a bit with MacroDroid (a Tasker alternative) and managed to make it work partially. What I mean by that is that you can have it turn on DnD whenever you like to, as long as the alert slider is in "ring" mode. If the slider is set to silent, at least for now, I couldn't get it to be DnD instead. but I think that being able to set it to DnD from "Ring" is more important anyways. If you want a step by step guide, hit me up!

I looked at that file you mentioned (/sys/class/switch/tri-state-key/state) and it does reflect as 1, 2, or 3 (3 being the bottom "ring" position. You can set a DND complete separate from this physical alert slider. Is that what you are trying to do? So that you can have DND mode turn on at a specific time of night without you touching the slider? If so, what exactly do you want it to do?
I also looked at this link and tried to replicate it. I was able to read the value of that key, but unable to write to it. http://tasker.wikidot.com/rootbasic

I loved the Shush! app. Timed DND, basically. Doesn't seem to work on OP5. The volume slider for "ring" never goes to zero, which is what appears to trigger Shush to pop up. Instead they seem to have separate all volumes from a global DND. Interesting.

Isn't the easiest way to create a time based profile in Tasker and assign it to a task that sets the DoNotDisturbMode to the value you like? Call the profile Night, set it to be active from 10 pm to 7 am. Then assign it to a task called Silent. That task sets the DoNotDisturbMode to Alarms. See screen shots.

Thats exactly how I set it up. Why invent new more difficult ways when there is this easy way?
Why have I not discovered Tasker any sooner? Downloaded the app last night, and spent some time getting familiar with the app. Daunting at first, but watched a basic Youtube vid, and off I went. Took me a few attempts to get the tasks working as they should.
I have DND task, and Airplane mode on/off tasks set - and they both work as expected.
Yea, Tasker can be scary at first but once you start using and exploring the possibilities, you can really automate a lot of stuff.

On the DND profile, I notice you do not use an "Exit Task". Do you not need one? What I mean by that is at 2:58 (per your setup) does DND mode exit and go to what the slider is selected to?

In some cases Tasker is so inteligent that you dont have to have an exit task and Tasker just do that for you. And this is the case here.

There is no "off" option In the DND task.
I haven't set up an end task, and the DND task does work fine as per setup.

Hi Guys. I use Automate App for this purpose, but with one difference.
If it is 09:00 PM and I connect my phone to the charger for sleep, the phone set automatically to DND mode for max 9:30 hours and when I disconnect the charger before, ringer mode is activated again. Look at my Automate Flow in screenshot. Really easy and relieable.
