Would be possible to add this in the dialer settings? There are phones (e.g. galaxu nexus) that my sometimes get an SOD when in a phonecall due to a faulty batch of prox. sensors
feature request: could it be possible to ad answer call with home button in Omni rom under accessibility services, going forward its a very useful feature. Saves time from swiping to answer and decline. So can this be an added feature. Also a feature to be able to control the CPU overclocking underclocking and all that in the performance options of Omni rom.

Is there an app that can monitor the proximity sensor based on a user defined list of apps and turn off the screen?
For example; the US T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app is nice to have, BUT when you place the phone to your ear (to listen to the voicemail) it may tap the close icon or activate something. It definitely needs the auto screen off feature.
Add in the ability to also use the g-sensor and when the phone is upside down (or sideways) and the proximity sensor (or light sensor) is triggered, put the phone to sleep. This would be triggered when the phone is about to be placed into my pocket.
I agree. I find that if I put the HD2 up to my ear to hear a Visual Voicemail message, I invariably hit the screen with some part of my ear which stops playback and often initiates deleting the recording. Surely there is a way to activate the proximity sensor while running this app?
it will be nice to fring o r numbuzz too
Hello folks,
I'm currently having this concern for my Nexus 5, running Franco's Kernel and Power toggle for sound profile switch, i.e. no sound - vib - sound only - sound+vib.
However, I noticed that switching sound profile using Power Toggle only applies to limited apps. For example, the ringer of the phone is of course under control by this toggle. However, I noticed that this toggle fails to control the vibration behavior of other apps such as Gmail and WeChat. I'm sure there are more examples but these two apps are of my daily use so I noticed immediately. To clarify, I'm talking about the situation when the phone would still vibrate on incoming emails in Gmail, even though I toggled to no sound or sound only profile in Power Toggle. It looks like this has nothing to do with Power Toggle because Android simply handles vibration behavior on a per-app basis.
For this reason, I am looking for a solution to handle the vibration behavior of the phone on a universal basis. I'm trying to achieve the behavior of the phone that is similar to iPhone (excuse me), where I can completely kill the vibration of the phone on one click (or toggle of the hardware button). iPhone 4 was my last iPhone but this simple "kill all vibration" feature is still so good to me.
The only thing I find now is to tweak vibration strength within the Franco Kernel settings. But we all know it's not an on-the-fly operation. I have to go into FKU app, hit Kernel Settings, and enter 0 for vibration amp. I wonder if there is any app that can integrate this operation into sound profile toggle, so when I toggle it into "no sound" or "sound only" mode, the vibration amp is automatically set to 0.
I know this sounds like a hassle but I really cannot think of another way of implementation, because it looks like Android's vibration is not universally controlled from the start? Correct me if I'm wrong, as I have no idea of coding or anything. Meanwhile, if what I guessed is true, it looks like the only viable solution is to find an app or widget that toggles between sound profiles while being able to set vibration amp to 0 through tweaking the Franco Kernel.
Thanks for your help!
Anyone? No one is annoyed by vibration when you want to set your phone completely silent?
I am looking for an app that prevents certain apps from vibrating. Unfortunately some apps have not implemented Vibration on/off setting.
Tips would be highly appreciated.
Hello,
I present my new app...
The issue...
Some versions of Android still play audible notifications when "do not disturb" mode (also called "night mode") is selected, which can be very annoying.
The solution to this problem is not easy, and should be implemented by the OEMs itself, but while that solution arrives (we trust it), we have found an alternative solution that mitigates the problem: detect when a notification arrives and deactivate the device sound while it plays.
Well, it really isn't that simple...
Apps, not even those that implement notification subsystem management operations, can't modify notifications from other apps.
What we can do is detect the notification and silence the phone while it lasts.
But there is another added problem: In the latest versions of Android with the inclusion of notification channels, notification management apps are prevented from knowning the sound that a notification is using.
Our solution...
The solution we propose, which (partially) solves the problem, is to propose that you select which applications you want to mute when the device is in "do not disturb mode" and, for each of those applications, indicate the notification sound they use, which It will allow us to calculate the approximate time that we have to silence the device to prevent the notification from being heard.

Part 2 - Sounds and vibration, Notifications, Wallpaper and Themes
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read the Introductory Post first.
Sound and vibration
Sound Mode: Choose from Sound, Vibrate and Mute. If you choose Mute, you can now choose to "Temporary Mute" for custom time.
Vibrate while ringing: I have enabled it as in environments where the ringtone is not loud enough, vibrations in my pocket help me.
Ringtone: Set Ringtone for each of your SIMs. Tap Add to add music from your storage. Select 'Highlights only' to play only a specified part of the track and not necessarily from the beginning. This way you can make ringtones from the music track itself but anyways here are the best ringtones sites. The existing catalogue in the device has few nature-inspired tones - I've set it to 'Friday'.
Notification sounds: You can set a customized notification for each app in app's settings itself so set this one as a default notification - something short that won't annoy you. My choice is 'Twinkle'.
Volume:
Play with them to find what suits you. In my case, System (touch sounds, back button sounds, etc.) is zero while notifications are on the lowest side. You can still control them by pressing the volume rocker and then expanding the pop-up.
Use Volume keys for media: I never wanted to control ringtone with volume rockers. Must be enabled!
Menu > Media Volume Limit: You can set a lower upper limit for your audio devices. Also, you can increase the OEM limit to force devices with more volume - can be very helpful with low volume calls or media. I know how to control, so set to highest - the volume bar will also show you the danger zone while increasing.
Call/Notification Vibration Pattern: Specifies vibration pattern for your Calls. Choose a call pattern to something by which you can easily differentiate your calls from a standard notification form the initial vibration itself. I've set it to 'Off-beat'. You now have the option to sync with ringtone or notifications (need to try)!
Vibration Intensity: If you get annoyed, like I do, by vibrations for every notification, set it to zero or alternatively set it to a lower level while tweaking individual app notification settings to allow/disallow vibrations. 'Touch interaction' is for on-screen touches. Set "Vibration sound for incoming calls" to get the humming-before-sound effect and also not to annoy yourself or partner with call ringtones when you can pick the call before it sounds!
System sounds and vibration: Touch sounds (sound/vibration), Screen lock sounds (sound), Charging sounds (sound/vibration), Dialling keypad tones (sound/vibration), Samsung Keyboard (sound/vibration), Navigation gestures (vibration), Camera feedback (vibration).
Sound quality and effects, Separate app sound:
Dolby Atmos: Read about it here. I've set it to Auto. You can easily toggle modes from the notification bar itself (move it to the first page). Enable "Dolby Atmos for gaming" and enjoy gaming!
Equaliser: Play with it to decide what's best for you. Here is an Equaliser guide for you so that you can play with the Advanced mode as well.
UHQ upscaler: Connect earphone to enable this. Bit-upscaling works best for me. Read a pro analysis on UHQ upscaling modes here.
[Discontinued] Tube Amp Pro; Concert hall: They are disabled when using Dolby Atmos. I prefer Dolby Atmos over either of them.
Adapt Sound: Do try it! Add trying a new profile for each of your earphones or audio device and personalise sound. You can try existing profiles and toggling Clear or Soft sound preferences.
Separate app sound: Useful in cases where you don't want an app's sound to play on your default audio device. I have set 'App' to Chome/Facebook and Audio device to 'Phone' so that they don't accidentally play on the connected device in case Bluetooth is left on. You can also choose 'YouTube Music' as App and Audio device to 'Bluetooth' so that music always play on the connected device.
Notifications
Notification pop-up style: To be filled.
Do not disturb: You can schedule it though I recommend Tasker or IFTTT for control it. Now that you have set apps to control DND, set "For how long" to "Ask every time" so whenever you need to set DND, you select the time. If you want to turn it off manually or know the average time, choose otherwise. Do explore Exceptions to enable 'Repeat callers', allowing calls/messages from a specific group, allowing event/task/reminders. Customize DND so that your 3rd-party (scheduling) apps when enabling it enables your customized settings. You can add 'Apps' to exception so that you don't miss notifications from, for example, Mail. You can choose 'Hide Notifications' to choose what notifications to show. For example, you don't want Apps to sound but want to see the icon badges when you turn on the screen.
Recently Sent/App Notifications: You can customize each App's notification here itself or can do this simply in that App's settings. I prefer customizing App settings when they arrive in the notification bar by holding the notification and tapping settings. This way, in some time, you'll make your app notifications fully customized for all of those that bother you. With Pie, you have now greater control of each app's notification. You can even customize notification subcategories of a particular app. Do check 'silent and minimized' mode that doesn't create a mess in your notification panel as well as minimizes the content by default with no sound. Do you need a separate guide to master this? Do tell. You can also refer to a good article here.
Advanced:
Show notifications icons: It is set to recent 3 by default. If you get a lot of notifications like me, you will miss seeing notification icons (recency doesn't equal importance).
Show battery percentage: Since I usually get a lot of notifications, I've disabled 'Show recent notifications only'. It's not a bad idea to get the actual percentage of battery level so enable 'Show battery percentage'.
Notification history: Finally! You get the swiped or snoozed notifications here. Saves me after accidentally hitting "Clear All". MUST ENABLE!
Conversations: Now you can control notifications from individual SMS senders!
Switch on 'Suggest actions and replies for notifications' and 'Show snooze button' if helps.
Notification Reminders: If you want to give attention to notifications from selected apps, you can get reminded frequently (with vibrations) until you clear them. Helps me not to miss Missed Calls or Fiverr messages.
App icon badges: Useful though I use a similar feature 'Notification badges' in Nova Launcher.
Wireless Emergency Alerts: MUST ENABLE! Alerts given by government or organizations about life hazards and likewise. I have enabled everything even test messages!
Wallpaper and style
My Wallpapers: You can choose Wallpapers for the Lock Screen and Home Screen here. Now you can set Video Wallpapers for Lock Screen too. I use Tapet to change wallpapers and Tasker to add new wallpapers to it.
Lock screen wallpaper services: I have chosen 'Dynamic Lock Screen' to change Lock Screen Wallpapers from the 5 categories which add new wallpapers every 2 weeks. 'Samsung Global Goals' is a views-oriented donation theme.
Colour palette: This came with Material You. Colour of buttons, app icons (if 'Apply palette to app icons' is enabled) and other icons will match your wallpaper theme!
Apply Dark mode to wallpaper: Darkens your wallpapers to give less strain on the eye and comply with the dark mode actually!
Themes
It will route you to Samsung Themes. I use a separate icon and theme packs for Nova Launcher. I do use AOD packs from the Themes. Do explore this section on XDA itself. I'm going to develop some themes (preferably AOD skins) soon and will let you know. Learn how to develop yours here.
