[Q] Record talking in your sleep

Just spent 30mins trawling the market for an app that records your talking in your sleep.
Found a few but with crap reviews.
Just want a recorder that switches on if it hears a noise, then closes off after a given period of time.
Anyone know of such an app?
Cheers
Bryan

Still, if you know of any others, please let me know.

Sleep as an Droid does this, quite successfully, although it's main purpose is sleep tracking and it's not free ($1.5).

Haha what a cooL idea i will test it this night

Had a look at this myself but got frightened off after reading some of the services that are accessed after installation:-
Services that cost you money
Directly call phone numbers
Send SMS messages

Yeah, it gives you the option to send recordings via email and also alert of events via SMS or phone call. - Not that I'm gonna use any of that.
I did use it last night and it seems OK, but just been looking at Sleep as a Droid as recommended above and it looks great. Don't mind paying for a decent app

[Q] Start an app (Pandora) on bluetooth connect event

First off, I have done some google searches and searches on the forum for this question but all I could really find was people having issues with bluetooth and Pandora.
My question: Is there any way to open an app, namely Pandora, on a bluetooth connect event? I know that Pandora, if already open and playing, will pause for phone calls and when the bluetooth connection is lost. Headphones being plugged in can trigger the music player to open. So there must be a way to see the bluetooth connection event and start Pandora. Or maybe it already does this and I just havent figured it out?
TIA

Tasker can do it. You have to be willing to pay for the app, and you have to be willing to invest some time learning how to use it well, but it's the gold standard in Android automation. There is a one week trial available on their website if you want a try before you buy.

[APP][1.6+] Sms Replier - Need Feedback

Hey, I recently released an app to Google Play and was wondering if you guys could help me out to test it and to give me feedback!
The app is called Sms Replier and it's a tool that can be used to send texts to people who call you while you're unable to get to your phone to answer(while you're in an exam, or playing a game of soccer, etc.). I know this idea has been done before, but I want to know whether you think it's worth it for me to keep working on it so as to add features which have not been done in any other app. Please let me know how well it performs/what things I should change about it, and please rate it on Google Play!
I am excited to get some real criticism from android users so that I can continue to make this app what I originally set out for it to be!
The app is completely free! Thank you in advance.

I like it! Simple, but I would love a widget.
If you are lazy: here's a link to the download:

cool
thanks for the app..

Hey. Can the app send sms at a specific time? For example set it to send an sms to a contact at 2pm and when the clock becomes 2pm it sends the sms. Cz I'm looking for such a feature.
Also it would be great if the above could work on whatsapp too. Thanks

I could include that feature with relative ease, but it currently doesn't do that since I was aiming at making an app that helps you when you don't have access to your phone

Try SMS scheduler from the play store

it works ace!
what would be good is to have either a widget to toggle on / off, permanent notification to enable access to the menu, or an idle / activity monitor like if phone left idle for x minutes then enable it; as soon as there's human activity then de-activate it (could be linked to the auto screen dim/off).
A very nice app, very useful for businesses. Out Of Office Reply

A great start! I would also like to add some suggestions (some may be repeats).
1. Widgets that you can add to turn on and off selected notifications.
2. Auto respond based on a pre-determined schedule.
3. Auto start on startup option (for scheduled events).
4. # appears over icon to notify user how many messages were replied to while away (like mail or missed call icon).
Keep up the great work!

Hello
Good app. Excellent operation. tested on my Nexus and Galaxy S2.
Take this opportunity to say that I'm spreading my blog this excellent application.

Success for you.

Great app very helpful while driving especially. Would be nice if you could add some features to even reply to text messages automatically. Something similar to auto reply feature in GoSMS.

great work.

as bigdog said those are very essential to complete this app.
first time i installed the app.. i was really surprised to see its simplicity really awesome
i would like to add some suggestions and doubts from mine sides too even though they may be repeated
some brainstorming got me to bring up these elements
1. sometimes there can just be miss calls.. you can add up timer like (send sms before ringer, on one ring, on two rings, or like if didnt pick the call at all will send an sms)
2. a status bar indicating that the sms replier with number of sms sent. [a widget would also be helpful]
3. then you can add some templates or profiles like driving, in class or let users create their profiles or templates.
4. there is one more thing that u can get access of contacts and just disconnect the unknown numbers[ofcourse getting the notification with number at our end] and donot sent them a reply in order to maintain the privacy and not let the unknown numbers know what you are upto.
5. and if i may add a option.. a counter to be set to ring if a same person is trying to call for more than two three times or in case of emergency
i will add more when it comes ...

Would be great if it could work on whatsapp!

The difference is that you don't need to click the template to send it when you're receiving the call. It sends automatically when a missed call is recorded. Sorry to assume, but it doesn't seem like you actually tried using the app at all.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

@saredev, does your app have feature that can exclude certain numbers from auto responding but they are in the contacts list. For example, notifications banks or credit card companies. These companies don't need to receive auto-response. I think you might have to check the number when it arrives whether it's a phone number or shortcode before auto-response. Or include a list of numbers from auto-response.

I have 2 ideas.
Hi.
I have 2 ideas (requests?).
1. Like a monolingal which is a OSX's program. It will keep some locales which we chosed and delete the other languages.
2. Additional Locale. not like a morelocale2 and so on. additional locale which device have not (not hidden). Normaly, it's too difficult for noob ( I heard specilist can add locale).
Cheers.

another idea: an app that turn screen on a black screen and the icon of notification whenever notification come up (and screen is turn off of course). can you?

An app that lets me see the history of my notifications, even those i've already seen

Game porting
An app for porting armv7 games to armv6. Basically, modifying the .lib files. Also resizing the drawable and re positioning it to fit other resolutions in proportion.

I'm trying to make one myself but can't figure it out.

I am wordering to have an app like Super BT Hack (For S60V3) through which you can read others sms, contacts and make the others phone ring via BT. Is there any app existing with such capabilities. If yes then name it and if not please develop it because it is a very good tool to keep an eye on the activities of your loved ones.

I found perfect site for creating apps...Yesterday I ended up on some site called apps-machine.com . I have to share it with you guys. I started creating my own app and after 15 minutes clicking on their control panel(no programming,just clicks) I made app in what user could make effects on their photos,paint photos,play music,play videos,have notepad,chat and stream music. They got literally 1000's of features on their control panel I think this could be a gold mine And I read something that they have free app development and so on. Aaand you can change everything all the backgrounds,colors,tabs...and you instantly see it on that same page through their simulator..don't know how they managed to do that but it is super handy...I am super excited at the moment..time to get some apps on apple and play store

Pandora Now Playing on Active Display

Saw a thread about this on reddit and took a stab at it.
Curious if there is anyone with root that does not have Tasker installed that would want to test it for me? It works on my Moto X, but I have Tasker.
The app fires a notification with the current song playing on Pandora so it can be seen on Active Display. It's still in the early stages, so it's not perfect.
If you're interested in trying it for me, here's a link. The only requirements are having root, using Pandora, and having a Moto X, obviously
https://copy.com/LlLkiTAtpdxnsFt
It will ask for root the first time it tries to run, and it updates every two minutes. Once I can tell that it's working on other devices, I can decrease the refresh time in an effort to be more accurate.
Note: It will ask for root the first time it runs, so you might want to keep your screen on for a few minutes until you see the root request. After that it will just fire the notification.
Edit 3/26: Also make sure that the app is enabled in your Active Display settings if you disabled the option to automatically enable all new apps
Thanks!

Did it request root? It runs on a two minute cycle, and scrapes the existing notifications, one of which is Pandora. It then assigns those to variables and makes its own notification.
If it did ask for root and still didn't work, can you check Settings > Accessibility and see if Tasker is checked?

I have SuperSU to auto grant root access. I hadn't had tasker installed when I thought I had. Installed it and still couldn't get it to work. I just checked Tasked in Accessibility so let's see.

Doesn't work for me either at&t moto x 4.4.2 root no write protection :/

not working for me either. Downloaded SuperSu, and enabled in Active Display and turned off the sleep at night.

Works great thanks.

Does this affect battery life?

For those of you who are not having success, and meet the requirements of the first post, please try it again. The app only updates every two minutes so you will not immediately see the notification appear. Let the sing play for a bit and then it will appear.
Needless to say mind works and I learned the lesson above from my own experiences.

Works Here
Followed directions, SuperSU installed, activate in Active display settings, small delay before it becomes active, works as advertised. Thanks for this.

Could you link Musixmatch Lyrics to Active Display ?
I am huge fan of MusixMatch Lyrics plugin, and love to see the lyrics playing on the Active Display mode itself, so we can see the lyrics without unlocking the phone.

You don't need root to do this with Tasker. All you have to do is use autonotification intercept to intercept the Pandora's notification.
I'll write a profile for you if you want
Lyrics aren't possible, Active Display only allows two lines
