Hello. Here is what I am looking for. So far I am very frustrated with my FUZE with this one feature.
I would like to have more control of the phone profile options like I used to have on my Blackberry phones. Basically I want to be able to make set custom profiles as I want them.
For example. With my old phone I was able to use an "advanced" feature in the phone profile section to create what I called a "Night" setting. When this setting was activated the entire phone was on silent (texts, emails, etc, everything was silent) EXCEPT the phone. The phone would ring if I received a call. So it was basically a "phone only" setting. This was perfect at night because I would only receive a call if it was a real emergency.
I KNOW that I can go into the Sounds and Notifications settings and turn everything off except the phone, but I have to do that manually and if I change phone settings everything goes back and I have to again manually do what I want.
I HAVE tried the Inesoft program and the spb phone suite. both have profiles built into them, but no way to do what I mention above with my "night" setting.
Is there a program/script/plugin that will accomplish this?
Thanks for any help with this.

peeps - I am using Mobile Shell. Do you have any idea how to use PA with it.
If not, can you just tell me how to use the profile section of PA

I don't use MS, but doesn't it still allow Today plugins to run? I would imagine if the today plugin is running, it will work with MS, but it might be best to check out the SPB Club forum or the PocketMax Phonealarm forums...
Phone Alarm
I used phone alarm with my 8925, but can't get it to work with the fuze. my main use was setting the alarms since i use it for pages also. Can't get the alarm to go more than once.
Try gProfile
Search for gProfile. It's super handy, and... as far as I can tell, doesn't require a today screen plugin.
You should be able to find it fairly easily... using The Google. If not, PM me and I'll see if I can dig up where I found it. It was free...
Hi,
I'm running JB 4.2.
I hate Google Now with a passion, and have been trying to disable it - permanently. I simply want a search bar that returns results in Firefox.I never want to be pestered by GoogleNow's notices, or, especially, its attempts to upsell itself.
I've read dozens of posts here in the forums, and *think* I've tried most advice (uninstalling updates, toggling off, etc).
Atm, in my Google Search settings, Google Now *IS* toggled to off.
But, every time I click on the search/quicksearch widget bar to enter something, GoogleNow pops up forcing me to Click "Next" several times, then gives me only two options "Later" or "I'm in".
I want to effectively implement a "Never" option.
How do I make GoogleNow go away, and stay away?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong due to I have not rooted my s4 as of yet but rooting your phone is the only possible way that I can think of and this is not confirmed but know just about everything can be removed via a rooted phone. ....

My phone *is* rooted.
I can make any changes that need to be made.
The problem is finding the right change that works AND sticks.
Try:
ZDbox
its a great tool. look for it at the play store.
its, as far as i know, create offical from xda (or here at xda forum)
I use it on my S3, and you can do alsmost anything with this tool.
just give it a try

Hi all, I have developed a breakthrough in Android apps.
One day when I was jogging, a little girl that looked scared and confused approached me. She couldn't find her mother and she asked if she could use my phone to call her. I thought to myself 'Sure, I'm helpful.' When I was waiting for her to finish her phone call, I noticed that she was swiping her finger on the screen. I was thinking to myself, 'Why does she need to scroll during a phone call?' I took my phone back and lo and behold, she was going through my pictures. I reprimanded her, telling her that she shouldn't be going through other's phones like that. I felt real bad that I had to take my phone back before she could find her mother, but what else was I supposed to do? It's not like there's an app that can do that.
From that moment, Avanos was born.
It's a guest mode app that can act as a stealth mode when you need it to. When you use it, it locks the user into the app so that your other apps cannot be accessed, your recent apps cannot be seen, and the notification bar is hidden. It's helpful for a lot of things, such as when your girlfriend wants to go through your phone to read your messages. Just open Avanos and everything is hidden. It was designed to be a guest mode so that when others use your phone in an emergency nothing can be accessed. When they end their call it opens a password dialog. Enter your password and your phone goes back to normal. It's helpful when you're a coach, a parent or just a helpful person. Here's the free version of it: bit(.)ly/17NVKpz. Tell me what you think of it and send me a message if you're interested in getting a demo version of it.

Can't do anything much on the lite version, just a dialer without contacts. I am using Hi App Lock which do the job for me in locking all apps that I don't want others to mess up with. But would love to try the beta one please

Guest Mode in All Phones
Hi,
I have used your app and I must say that it works like a normal app locker. You can simply select an app that you want to lock and it remains locked till a password is entered. There are a lot of apps in Google Play that do exactly that.
However, the challenge that I faced with app lockers (similar to yours) is that when I want to use a locked app (such as WhatsApp), there are two steps of authentication that are involved. First, I need to unlock the home screen of my phone (all of us lock our home screens for any unintended usage), then I need to input the password again to unlock an app. This becomes quite a tedious process for any user.
Therefore, we have developed an app that is a combination of screen lock as well as an app lock. The procedure is that, once you install the app, you get to select all the apps that you want to mark as private and locked. The application then asks you to set a master password (which can be either a PIN based or Pattern based password). The application then asks you to set a guest password as well.
Once you lock your phone (or it gets automatically locked on screen off), the application is active. When you want to unlock the phone and use your master password to unlock, the screen gets unlocked along with all the locked apps that you had selected. Therefore, when you unlock the phone screen, you do not have to enter the password again to use the protected app. However, when you lend the phone to someone, just use the guest password to unlock the screen and the screen gets unlocked. However, all the selected apps continue to be locked. Thus protecting your privacy!
We have a patent pending on this feature and shall be adding more features to the app. You can download it from Google Play (just search for 'Guest Mode' and our app is the second one - developed by Pluggdd India). We would love to hear your feedback on this.
Guest Mode for All Android Phones (App)
Even I was waiting very eagerly for this version of Android and the Guest Mode feature. There are a lot of times when my kid uses the phone or some one borrows the phone to make a call. With the battery life of smartphones being so small these days, people borrowing phones is common.
However, I was always worried what all they may see on my phone once I loan it to them. The same was when my kid was using the phone. Once he clicked a picture of mine and sent to a random whatsapp group.
However, I must say that the new Guest Mode feature does not meet my expectations. There are a few reasons why:
1) The switch from Normal Mode to Guest Mode is not seamless. You need to get to Settings (which is a two step procedure), then go to 'Users' and from there switch on the Guest Mode. This easily takes a few seconds.
2) The switching of user takes more than 2-3 seconds.
3) Anyone can easily find that they are in Guest Mode (because the phone is completely empty, no history of calls, no phone numbers, virtually nothing). As a result of which apart from a kid, anyone can tell that you have switched modes of the phone. With the kind of friends and colleagues that I have, that would raise more suspicion and leg pulling than giving them the phone in full access.
I was always looking forward to this solution. However, I think I will continue to use the app that I have been using. The app locks all my applications that I deem need to be protected. It gives me two passwords to unlock the screen. When I open the lock screen with a master password, the screen gets unlocked as well as all the locked applications get unlocked too. When I lend my phone to someone, I open the screen using a guest password and only the screen and unprotected apps get unlocked. All the protected apps, such as my emails, chats, facebook; continue to be locked. This is so much of a relief, as the no one comes to know that they do not have full access to the phone. What I have read on their page is that they are also coming up with a fake crash in Guest Mode, that would be lovely.
In case you are interested, you can get the app for free from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pluggdd.SmartAppLocker).
Since a couple of weeks, my OPO switch itself to vibrate-mode, and I have no clue where it's coming from.
Tasker, Locale and such apps have been deleted.
Profiles are deactivated.
But still... Even when I manually switch on sound notification and ringtone, it goes back to vibrate mode after a while.
I've reviewed every settings that could be involved with that, but I still don't find a solution.
Is this a known bug ?
Is there a setting I missed ?
I couldn't say, but any help is welcome (I'm currently looking for a job, I need to hear my phone and not missing any call...)
Thx by advance !
Don't know which rom you are using, but at least try to reflash your rom it will be fixed i guess

I kept the original rom (Cyanogen) and it's updated...
I want to re-roll this phone for multiple reasons but I still keep faith in the fact that I don't need to reflash anything in order to have a phone actually ringing

You sure you haven't set up CM profiles in settings? Does this happen at specific TIMES (eg. 2PM every afternoon) or at specific INTERVALS (eg. 2 hours after you manually enabled ringer)?

As I said in the original post, Profiles are deactivated + Tasker and such apps are deleted.
I still don't get if it happens at specific time (ie: every day at 2 pm), or after a specific delay (ie : 2 hours after I switch the ringtone back).
It seems to be the second option, but I lack a good monitor app that could brings me some intel about what's happening on my phone and what triggers events

if you discover that it happens at specific time, just plug in the phone in PC and get a logcat

Thx.. I'm going to digg about logcat then (I see what it is but I never use that).
Is there any way to look into a logcat (or other log-stuff) by searching events (or text) instead of time-stamp ?
Is there any app or software that helps digging this full load of data ?
I hate myself right now... I'm using MyPhoneExplorer and there is a setting to switch your phone ringtone while connected to a known-wifi.
And yes, I have activated this settings myself
In a word, when you don't find a solution on XDA or any forum, the bug is probably you...

Hi,
I just purchased an x96 box and was looking through the features when I saw the security feature for setting up a resticted profile. Since I have kids I thought it would be good to set one up, so created my password and then clicked "enter restricted profile". Not only did it restrict the apps that were availible to me, but now in the sttings tab all the buttons are gone (except for network) so I can't change any settings. As well there isn't anything for me to toggle back to normal profile. I basically am stuck in restricted profile and cant change it. When I turn on and off the box it comes back on in regular mode (all the apps), but then 5 seconds in it says "switching to restricted profile" and I cant make any changes to settings.
Anyone who can help would be a lifesaver.
Cheers

I am having the same exact issue. Can you please let me know when you get some resolve
Thanks
I ended up doing a factory reset. Click on the apps button on the home page. Near the bottom is a button that says "backup......". Clicked on that and checked off delete data and delete "something" then hit restore. Good to go.
Hope that helps.
Let sera...
Ok so I got a x96 foolishly done the same thing. Here's how to set it again. While the power is off in the av point on the rear of the box poke a match stick in and there is a button insode. Hold it down. It will come up with options like a boot sort of setup options. I went to clear data or something along those lines and boom back to factory settings. I looked everywhere for a reset button it was only because company I purchased from advised me it was there.
Ditto! Is ther e any other option than reseting factory settings? How can i apply the original passcode I entered?
Did you get it fix?

X96 restricted profile problem
Now any new solution? When I set PIN code and apply restricted profile after that I cannot reverse normal mode, can't apply PIN code
With a factory reset ?
So did anyone work out how to get back removing restricted profile without a factory reset. It seems so counter productive...
Thanks.
Hope it works for you too.
Okay. So, I didn't see a reset button hidden anywhere, but I didn't wanna have to do that anyways. What I've found is that when you turn it off and back on, you can go back out of restricted mode. You just need to be really fast before it re-enters restricted mode again. You have about ten seconds. It's best to connect a mouse because it takes longer to scroll to the apps and options using the remote. But I did everything in time because my password was 0000. As soon as it turns back on, as quickly as possible, go to settings, >security & restrictions, then go to turn off restricted profile. Quickly enter your passcode and you're home free! After that, I'd highly recommend deleting restricted profile. Hope this works for you too!

Yours is the best idea to solve the issue. Unfortunately my GT1 is so fast, that gives me only 1 second. The same is with wired mouse. Is there any experience, if after master (pinhole) reset the Google account should get back all (Kodi reppositories, YouTube account,...) settings ?
I have exactly the same problem with my Philips 49PUS7502/12 Android TV. I even didn't set up a PIN CODE for it. I can't get out of this profile. Any solution rather than factory reset? I have many apps and customization.
