[App][2.2+] AutomateIt - Automate Your Android !

AutomateIt is a simple automation tool for your Android device.
The application lets you define a set of your desired behaviors in response to events on your Android device. Each behavior/rule is defined as a pair of Trigger-Action that can be selected from a large set including SMS, bluetooth, wifi, location, headset, applications, battery and more triggers/actions.
AutomateIt provides a default set of useful rules to get you started:
Low battery warning
Quiet at night
Normal sound mode at morning
Max volume when headset unplugged
Lower volume when headset plugged
Unmute by SMS
Create your own rules with AutomateIt or use its built-in Rules Market with thousands of rules created and shared by AutomateIt users and use them on your device!

I really like the idea of this, being so heavily configurable, but it doesn't do the 1 thing that I want. I want to turn off screen lock when connected to my home wifi. There's already a dedicated app for that, so it looks like I'll have to stick with that for now.

If you do update this to include that action, then I'll be all over it! Cheers for the hard work.

Can it be moved to SD?

Can you make that i can select multiple triggers, if one, or more because true (or all true), then execute it.
Also to have more actions per rule would be nice =D

I have another post on my blog that you can vote for some features that were already requested by other users. Enable/Disable screen lock is one of those features and I believe it will be included in one of the next updates.

I'm afraid that's only possible using the Pro version.

Nope. Since AutomateIt has a service running it cannot run from the SD card (at least that's what google is recommending)
If you have some workaround you can suggest I'd love to hear it...

To bad i don't have a CC, because then i would buy the pro version.
Can i buy it via SMS or so?

The pro version is only available through the Android Market

I tried automateit and it was not reliable in the one function I needed most which was "enable bluetooth when plugged into power" and "disable bluetooth when power disabled"....I'd find bluetooth left on or find it off when it should be on....finally went back to the dedicated app.
I also recall it not doing other functions such as "run app x when power enabled" "close app x when power disabled"....alternatives would be checking for home wifi ssid or any method of it knowing I'm "home". (I run wired tether as soon as the phone is plugged in to tie the phone to the local lan )

famewolf, I don't know which version you have tried but a lot of things has changed in AutomateIt in the last few months and the rules that you described are exactly the ones I have defined for myself and they work flawlessly (a list of all my rules and other ideas is available here).
I also didn't get any report about these functions from any of the users who downloaded the app (>25,000 users...)
I'd appreciate it if you give it another chance and report any errors to me so I can resolve them (just press "Help !" on the About screen if you encounter any error).

I'm willing to give it another go but I think my usage might also be a factor...if I toggle airplane mode on/off to get the radio to go to 3g vs E then the app has to handle resyncing the bluetooth which also got turned off and back on for example. My home phone have bluetooth links so when I dock the phone it links to them etc...
Does it support importing and exporting of rules yet? I can see where a webpage where you could checklist the rules you wanted and it builds you a customized ruleset being very nice.

Yes. AutomateIt supports backup and restore of your rules (I think it's supported for over two months now so you probably tried a VERY old version...).
As for having a webpage to select rules and build a customized ruleset, I agree that this could be nice but currently I prefer focusing on adding more features to the App. maybe someday I'll build someting like that...

It would be great to have a WiMax on/off option for those toting Evo's, etc.

Don't want to crap on your app... but how is this any different from Tasker?

Not sure if Android gives same access as WinMo, but during a phone call if I set it down on a flat surface it would automatically switch to speaker-phone, and switch back when picked up. Is the same possible on Android with this App?

I can't figure out how to use this app.
I would like WiFi to be triggered "on" when entering my house, as well as WiFi triggered "off" when leaving my house. I rather not trigger WiFi on/off each time I want it to.

I know the sense roms do this. along with ringing louder if the prox sensor is triggered ie by being in your pocket.

[APP][2.3+][ROOT] Toggle Cell Radio 5.0 (xda-exclusive free version)

Hi,
I've developed a widget to toggle cell radio on Android 5.0/5.1 (Lollipop), Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), and Android 7.0/7.1 (Nougat). It requires root.
This is an xda-exclusive free version! If you want to support me, please consider getting the paid version on Google Play or check out my other apps.
Please note: Redistribution of this app is not allowed!
New: Support for dual SIM/multi SIM devices on Android 5.1 and later.
Paid version on Google Play (more functionality): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cygery.togglecellradio
Device compatibility: second post
This free version only includes the widget. The paid version on Google Play additionally includes a Locale/Tasker compatible plugin and support for shortcuts.
Device Support
Device support depends on a variety of factors, including your specific device model, Android version, installed (custom) ROM, used root provider (su binary), and SELinux configuration. This app includes options to deal with different configurations of some of those factors. Please let me know if this app does not work on your device.
Notes
The widget is passive. Thus, it has to request root every time it is refreshed. Although the battery impact is negligible, this usually results in frequent (Toast) messages indicating that the app was granted root rights. Please refer to your superuser management app if you'd like to disable those messages specifically for this app.
Known issues:
Android 6.0/Samsung: There are user reports about issues with Samsung devices and Android 6.0: [1] [2]
Other Issues: When reporting any issues please include the following info in your post: Device, ROM and ROM version, exact version number of this app you use (don't just write "latest"), superuser management app (e.g., SuperSU) and version, content of any shown error messages. Describe in detail what you tried to do, what you expected to happen, and what happened instead. Include screenshots/screencasts where possible and useful to show the issue.
Cheers,
cygery

I'm confused, what does toggle cell radio mean? It doesn't toggle network type (3g, 2g, etc), it doesn't toggle data, so what is left again?

Sorry for the stupid question, but can this be done not automatically? I mean, I can change network type by hand, I can deactivate data by hand, but can I toggle the cellular radio, without putting the phone in airplane mode I mean? Cheers for the clarification

You can do this manually with this app (without enabling airplane mode).

Tested Play Store version works fine on the Shield LTE.

Anyone know how much battery this actually saves in day to day use (like if you've disabled cell radio in the past regularly when on wifi)? I am using the 3g/lte switch that he posted and it's working great. I use GV/hangouts for everything. Wondering if this would be worth it to use anytime I am on wifi. I can't tell battery stats very well with lollipop. It has never shown cell radio for me yet like kitkat used to.

Use it and tell us.

cell radio battery use
The cell radio battery use will vary very much from phone to phone and also depends on signal stength.
On my galaxy s3, with a strong cell signal, my phone uses around 1-2% of battery per hour at idle. With no cell signal, the phone uses 4-6% per hour as it is trying to connect all the time. When I turn off the radio, I draw 1% per hour.
A weak signal will use 2-3% per hour.

Hi,
The widget does not seem to work on the galaxy s3 (Cyanogenmod 4.4.4 M12). When I press the button, it toggles (just the widget, not the radio), and then will not toggle back on.
If I use the dialer to get to the phone menu and toggle the radio from there, the widget will toggle back on (with no effect on the radio).
Phone is rooted.
Not sure if it is an app issue, CM issue, or Galaxy S3 issue.
Thanks for your efforts - it would be nice to toggle from the home page as the battery savings (see previous post) are big.

easily pin your browser whenever you open a link
collect / preload links without to leave an application
quickly share or open links in another app
works with nearly all browsers

Upcoming features & improvements:
a new mode for the browser extension (preloading on Andorid 5.0+ without root)
activities & shortcuts as home actions for the swipe pad & assist action
automatic recreation of pins after an update or reboot
auto-hiding pins in black-listed apps

In form of independent apps:
hardware buttons remapping on Android 4.3+ (without root)
a gestures based swipe pad app with a lot of possibilities
News writers can drop me an email or PN to get temporary access to all PRO features. In order to do that I have to add the reviewer's email to my testing access list in my Developer Console.

It's possible with some limitations:
- no preloading / preopening (Quick opener mode) of webpages
- a click on Evernote, Google Docs and etc. will bring you to the latest document or screen of this app and maybe not to the document you actually pinned
- a few apps may reinitialize and lose text in input fields, scroll progress and etc. after switching to them
I'll implement a non-root mode if there're enough interested people that are okay with this limitations.
btw:
PinTasking is live on the Play Store:

wow, you added even more options!

Okay, I'll implement a non-root mode before or after the full release. May I ask you why folks with a rooted phone (?!) want it? I wonder if it's for security reasons? You can install the system helper by yourself with a root file explorer. Even system apps need a confirmation to gain root and the helper app declares only two additional permissions and shares them with PinTasking.

I am rooted but their are plenty of people who arent.

My phone is rooted, running plenty of rooted apps, and it says I am not and asks to install the helper or uninstall. Do I have to install the helper? I am on Android 5.1.1 HTC One M8.

This could help you:
1. Make sure that you haven't accidentally denied the root pop-up.
2. Restart the app and try it again.
3. It takes a while on Cyanogenmod to show up the root dialog. Tap "verify root" and wait 2-8 seconds.
I experienced the same bug once but I couldn't reproduce it and a simple application restart solved it for me. I'll look into it again.
Anyway, thanks for reporting.

hi ,
Your app PinTasking looks very interesting and practical .Thanks !
One issue i am trying to understand ................
I have Note 4 ( N910F ) rooted and on Lollipop 5.0.1
i installed your app from Play store,granted root access etc .
But i found app a bit confusing at first ( functions ..how to use etc ).
i uninstalled app ,as i wanted to see your video and then decide.
After watching video ,i was happy i understood functions better and reinstalled from Play store .
This time app was installed ,without asking again for root ( as in 1 st time when i installed )
It is working fine ,tested it rebooted etc ,but PinTasking does not show up in Superuser..?
However ,whilst typing above ,i had idea and went to PinTasking /Root helper installer and reinstalled
helper then was ask for root access etc ,( even though it was never uninstalled ,as i could see it in Titanuim )
and activated it ,and now app shows up in Superuser .
I have solved my issue ,but want to bring it to your attention.
Very impressed so far with apps.........practical /functional uses !
good luck

NetGuard can prevent applications from using the internet (=firewall).
You can allow/deny internet access for each application, even system applications.

There's no "best" - this is subjective.
You have a list of apps, and you can choose whether or not to allow an app access to the Internet over WiFi or Mobile data.
Whether or not you want to let an app access the Internet is up to you.

I have just released alpha version 0.2 with quite some things improved.
https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases/tag/0.2

I have just released beta version 0.3
https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases/tag/0.3
I am using this version as production software myself now, hence why alpha changed into beta.

I have just released beta version 0.5.
Changelog/download:

Your feedback, both positive and negative, is appreciated.

Is it (technically) possible to add "on-demand" feature ?
Maybe something close to how LBE works ... Yes/No/Don't ask again
Suggestion...

Not on a granular, per-app basis, at least right now.
NetGuard for Android works by creating a VPN service at system level. Based on your choices in the allow/deny screen, NetGuard will set up VPN rules for which apps are forced through the "VPN". The "VPN" isn't a real VPN; rather, it just sinkholes the traffic to nowhere.
The limitation here is that when creating these rules, we can only set which applications' traffic enters the VPN. We can't granularly control which requests or hosts they can talk to, on a per-app basis. It would be possible to set "for all apps" a whitelist/blacklist of IP addresses, but this would be quite different, and would likely be less useful as a firewall, and more useful as simply an "ad blocker".
The VPN interface doesn't tell us which app is trying to access the internet though - we need to set it up before-hand. There are ways to tell, but Google (or a careful OEM) could easily block those with SELinux policy updates, and the goal here is to try to get all the functionality we need without any kind of root access.

Nice app for non rooted users.
I've just created an issue on Github though.
French translation done.
I'll try to create an icon this weekend if I have free time. Let me know if you want a specific color,... etc.

The problem you have reported is probably caused by a broken VPN implementation in your ROM. I will look into it later this week more detailed.
I like to keep the current colors, realizing not everybody will like them, but I know from experience I can't make everybody happy anyway.
Thanks for your translation!

@Primokorn can you please try if you have the same problem with one of the no root firewalls from the Play store?

[APP][8.0+] Toggle Track v4.0: iOS14 Access dots camera microphone/GPS/ Wifi Scanning

Latest Version: v4.0
New: Added iOS14 like access dots for camera and microphone usage.
***Working on support for lower android version devices too. Coming soon***
Now supports iOS14 like access dots too!!
Tired of apps which use GPS, switch on WiFi scanning and drain battery without notice. Toggle Track will notify you if WiFi scanning is switched ON by any app. Now you never need to check if WiFi scanning/ GPS is on, to save your phone's battery life.
I have built this app for the soul purpose to eliminate the annoying battery drain due to WiFi Scanning and GPS, which cannot be known without actually opening the sub menu in location settings. I find it helpful in saving battery. Hope you do too.
No root required.
Features
+ Access dots for camera and microphone added in v4.0
+ Track which apps used GPS. (Coming soon)
+ Free app.
+ Prevent battery drain.
+ Notifies when user left GPS on.
+ Notifies when WiFi scanning is ON.
+ Stats via pie chart, pull down to refresh the chart.
+ Persistent notifications settings also available.
+ Supports phones and Tablets.
+ Oreo v8.0+ supported.
How to use
+ Install/Update the app.
+ Grant permissions if asked.
+ For users running android 6.0+, disable battery optimization.
+ Customize your notification requirement in app settings.
+ You're good to go. Enjoy!

Try the app. Your feedbacks are appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for your app
Il let my phone live a bit too see what it says.
Can it tell which app is (or was) triggering the GPS?

Some feedback
1. Please use a background service instead of the process.
2. Please have the option to display the data as a grid instead of a chart. The counts are not readable.
3. Is it possible to know which app requested for that location?
4. I have battery optimisation disabled for the app. I opened Maps and started navigation, but still didn't get the notification. I was expecting it to alert me instantly.

Thanks for the feedback.
1. Service is not required in this case. There's no process running also after few seconds on exit. But it seems your point (4) helped me find a major bug, which is fixed now.
2. In future yes.
3. Yes. Root access might be required.
4. Update to 2.5.5 and let me know your feedback.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Glad you liked it.
It already exists in location settings in every phone. To get it into app, root might be required. But its possible.
Will look into it i future updates.
Thanks for your feedback.
