I was wondering if anyone knows of any apps that could do the following?
1-Quiet Hours-Looking for an app that could duplicate what CM's quiet hours does.
2-Also looking for an app that will allow me to create a folder in my app drawer that would contain several applications. I also would be able to link an icon that I would keep on my home screen to open the folder. (desktop visualizer seems to do some of this but not all).
Any help or suggestions are appreciated
For quiet hours I use an app called silent time from the play store. Works a treat

Do you know if that gives you the ability of getting incoming phone calls?
Yes. It simply turns your phone to silent or vibrate and you can set times to turn on and off. You can also set it for different days too.

Beautiful Widgets also has a widget similar to the quiet hours. It allows you to perform a number of actions (including turn off sound) for a set amount of time.

The important thing for me with quiet hours is that I can mute all sound but still get incoming calls

For quiet hours, try AutomateIt and set triggers such as time period to turn off certain volumes.

"Folder Organizer Lite" in the market will set up a short cut on your home screen to a folder that can contain up to 6 apps. Let me know if you need some help.

For some reason my wife doesn't like my headboard buzzing & chiming all night long whenever I receive an E-mail. As I only have a cell & no land line I need my phone to ring during the night if I get a call, but want to mute everything else. For now I disabled E-mail notifications, but that's a pain to turn on and off ever morning/night.
On my old Windows Mobile AT&T Fuze I just set Active Sync to only sync during the daytime, so that effectively muted it at night.
Anybody have any thoughts?
I'm interested in this too. Actually it'd be nice to turn everything but ringtone and email off for me, as I get work emails overnight while I'm on call that need to wake me up. But gmail, facebook, google talk, etc - it'd be nice if there was a mass silencer for those.
Turn off data at night maybe? Might be some app to turn off data during dif times?
Go to the market place and search for an app called "Setting Profiles Full" by "probeez". This type of app is exactly why I did not go with the iPhone. It will do exactly what you want, I'm using it for that and more.

I downloaded the light version and its not working for me. I set it so at a specified time it is to turn on a profile and its not even doing that. Any advice?
Profile App / Widget pro is working for me. The only part that would be a problem would be keeping emails notification while silencing messages. Maybe a 3rd party email app would do it.

Hi!
Is there an app to mute and turn off vibrate when I lock the device? My phone is my primary device, connected to the same accounts and I would like the tab to only make noises when I unlock it. So far I didnt find a setting or app for this. Could you help me?
Try tasker or locale

I use Silent Sleep
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app
Tasker worked like a charm, but I will search for this silent sleep in the afternoon, I'm guessing it uses less resources since it's more specific
The notification and call volume are the same. It has been the case ever since ICS and the only way to over come the issue is to use a custom rom, even rooting doesn't do anything to over come it.
I always sleep with phone on silent but I have started missing important unknown calls and was thinking that I should just keep my notifications silent when sleeping. So how do I do that on a nexus? Well I can't lol. Even if I select silent ring tone for notifications in the settings some apps like whatsapp have their own notification tone setting and will over ride whatever you have selected in settings. So basically I need to change the setting for every app everyday lol.
Now with iOS 6 even iPhone gives you higher control over notifications than stock Android. In the day of increased push services and what not a smartphone really needs to offer robust control over all this.

"Stock" on a SIII would mean TouchWiz, wouldn't it?
He means completely stock Android.

Yea i was just about to say it's probably just a different Android version well as the dude said previously there is probably an app for that or if you dig around you might find a flashable audio control tweak.

Elixir 2 lets me unlink the notification volume from the ring tone volume. I use this on my stock Galaxy Nexus (mine is rooted, not sure if that is required for this function in the app).
Tasker?

If you're sleeping why not just turn the phone off?

He already said that making the phone silent made him lose important calls. He sure doesn't want it to be switched off
I used an app called volume control in the past to control notification and ring tone volumes individually. There's a free version on the play store. Give it a try

Solution to every problem out there. Go spend that $6. It's totally worth it.
I think a much bigger problem with vanilla android is the lack of a T9 dialer. This is one of the most useful and important features on a phone for me and i don't think there's any way to fix this without a custom ROM.
I wish google would just add this and get it over with. I see no reason why they haven't already done so.
i have no idea if the stock from has this feature but im running paranoidandroind 2.54 on my gnex and there is a option to link ringtone and notifications together or have them separate. But even before using this rom i remember when you go to setting->sounds->Volume you can change ring and notifications separately.

I agree; Android definitely needs better sound/LED notification controls. For an OS so heavily invested in "personalization," it certainly lacks any here But oh wait, the Android fanboys and Google nuthuggers say its fine, so I guess it must be, right?

there's ton of apps that let you "personalize" sounds and led notifications if you just look for them in the play store not to mention the countless roms that include these features. no need to start insulting people because of your ignorance.

You can get t9 with third party dialor you don't need custom rom or even root for that. I use touch pal contacts its a brilliant app and you can theme it as well. The best thing about android is that you can change default system apps.
And people I have used several profile applications but all of them are riddled with bugs. The more powerful an app is the more bugs it seems to have. And some of those bugs can be so severe its not even funny. Like one of these apps "profile scheduler" would sometimes disconnect my network after a phone call lol wut.
However of course I am not giving up I am searching for apps that can unlink the notification and ring tone volume and seems like some of the devs have been able to do it now.
I am rooted btw so I will look into the recommendations put forward by a few posters.

Because Samsung was never stupid enough to link the notification and ring tone volume. Bleh android oem's can be good at times lol.
I am also amazed at the blocking mode in jelly bean galaxy S3. I would like to see Samsung add profiles to blocking mode but in any case it trumps every other phone in terms of the sheer control it gives you. I have realised it really is better for such critical features to be built in instead of using an "app".

Anyone found an app that will wake the phone up and open google now with a command? Open Mic+ wont work properly for some reason plus it leaves the mic on all the time.

I actually believe you can accomplish what you are talking about with an app called tasker. There is a plugin that allows that very thing along with custom voice commands. Tasker does require some tinkering and setup but there is plenty of tutorials and information on Xda about it. Hope that gets you going

To use command the mic will have to be listening all the time believe. Would probably kill your battery life but would be cool to skip lock screen with voice.

You can Do this from Google settings already go to voice a d now then voice and check it in the checkbox to work from secured lock screen.

That let's you use it from the lock screen, the screen still has to be on. The OP was looking for something that would do it with the screen off. I am sure tasker can do this though I have yet to try it myself.

I don't understand how tasker could keep the mic on when the screen is off. Seems like a major battery killer either way.

My MotoX had this feature. Not sure how it was accomplished, but with the phone sitting next to me on night stand I could use Ok Google and use it without ever having to touch the phone.
My advice? Get a Android Wear device. I just got a LG G Watch from Cowboom for less than $80 delivered. It was refurbished, but in perfect condition.
It has the "always on" Google Now listening ability, but I think it's actually better than the Moto X because you don't have to pull your phone out to see the results - they come right on the watch. If it is too small, then you can push the results to your phone, but the vast majority of the time getting the results on the watch work just fine.
I too wanted the always listening capabilities of the Moto X for my G3. But after getting the watch, I can say that I'm much happier having the watch because it does so much more too.
I have searched and searched and cannot find a way to do this, so hoping someone has the same issue.
I have a home security app (Blink) that notifies whenever it captures video. I want it to do this.
But, we have builders in at the moment - I need the security cameras to stay on, but I get notifications all day.
I can disable the notifications entirely i know, but I forget to turn them back on.
Is there any app / tasker / similar way I can create something which will pause this app notifcations for say, 3 hours?
Thanks

Well, you answered your own question. An app like the Tasker app should be able to do what you want.
Or simply use your calender app to set reminders to turn on/off notifications for that app.

So how would I do that?
I know how to take action from a trigger say (i.e. plugging in my phone), and I know how I'd turn on DnD
but i'm not sure:
a) how I would say, create an icon to do this on my home screen
b) Turn off the notification status of a specific app
c) then ensure it came back after x amount of time
Thanks
