I would like to very easily, as easily as switching Android profile, hide specific apps from my phone and their notifications when at work.
Setting up a new profile on Android seems to do this, but it seems I have to manually configure every single app again, and all of my settings. Whatsapp will also not let me verify my number on both profiles.
Perhaps there is some easy way, touch of a button easy, to quickly hide the predetermined apps from my normal, main profile, and their notifications?
If multiple profiles really is the way to go, is there some way I can duplicate my main personal profile into the second, and then remove the several apps I do not want on my work profile? Perhaps something similar to a symlink could be set up from my work profile, pointing at my main profile, some how excluding the apps and settings I do not want? Further, maybe some kind of symlink would allow whatsapp to run on both profiles?
I have been searching online for a solution but not had any success. Device is rooted 7.1.1.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum. (Being as I am a new user since I set up this account just to ask this question, I can't really post to many other places anyway.)
So, I use an sms pop up application called Glowfly, which I love most of the time. But sometimes I hand my phone off, etc, and I want to quickly disable it so no pop ups show up randomly in the middle of things. There's no easy way to toggle the pop-ups without opening up the app and going into the settings.
So, I used minimalist text to make a widget, then used Secure Settings to make the on tap function toggle between enabling/disabling Glowfly. It works great.
But, what I would love to be able to do is to use the Minimalist Text variables to change the text from saying "On" to "Off" and back. Does anyone know how I could use Tasker or Secure Settings to check the state of Glowfly, to see if it's running, and then output "on" or "off" accordingly into my Minimalist Text widget? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
No one? I'll be honest, I've been at it for five hours straight now and it's getting me kinda mad. If anyone has any ideas...
No?
I am looking for a way I can disable selected distractive apps during particular time of the day but still want to receive calls, sms or messages from particular selected apps.
In my old rooted phone I have used AFwall+ for that reason so selected apps can't access Internet connection. Since I haven't rooted my new phone and not planing of doing that atm so I cant use AFwall+.
Also I can't just turn off phone Internet connection because I need some selected apps stay connected.
So lets say I want to have such setup:
Viber - disable
SMS - enable
Skype - disable
FB - disable
FB messanger - enable
Gmail - disable
Calls - enable
disable means I do not want this app to access Internet and distract me with any sort of UI notifications
enable means I want the app working and deliver notifications for me as normal
Any thoughts ?
First, I think you mean distracting, not destructive.
Greenify can block the apps, but not only during certain times of the day.

It is interesting app that disabling notifications but Android still showing the rounded notifications badges over icons. Is there a way to getting rid of these badges too?
UPDATE 1:
I just was following this article that https://www.h3xed.com/mobile/how-to-remove-icon-badge-notifications-on-android-samsung-touchwiz but button 'disable' is not active so I cant disable the 'BadgeProvider'
UPDATE 2:
Then I followed this one http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...e-disable-app-icon-badge-counter-s7-edge.html and by using 'Package Disabler Pro' the 'BadgeProvider' was being successfully disabled.
So basically in order to stop notifications on non rooted S7 we need to apps
1) Greenify
2) Package Disabler Pro

disable/enable multiple apps nofitications at once (i.e. toggle "work mode")
Hi there,
I want to use the my samsung s9 for work and private so for the past hour I was trying to find out how to toggle (enable/disable) notifications for multiple apps. In the end of the (work-)day I want to flip a switch and all notifications for work-related apps will mute.
I could possibly do it with the dnd-mode where I could configure all the apps I still want to notificate me to ignore dnd but thats a lot of work and basically the opposite of the intented use of dnd. Also I guess I would be able to do it with the android enterprise work profile feature, but that's not free and I'm not a corporation...
Does anybody know of a way to achieve that?
Thanks in advance.
I have a Samsung A70 running Android 11.
I want my phone silenced when a calendar event is in progress.
This feature used to work in the past, probably with Android 10, not sure.
With Android 11 it doesn't anymore and I cannot find a way to enable it.
It used to be the default unless I set the type of event to 'Free' instead of 'Busy'.
I'm googling and finding many mentions of 'Automatic Rules' being the default settings for Do not Disturb and how to change them but I cannot find such rules in my dnd settings phone. It seems that Android 11 has only exceptions. I've tried within the settings of Samsung calendar and with Google calendar thinking that maybe was an app feature rather than an OS feature.
Here are my DND settings.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ca26n4s12g...tings.jpg?dl=0
No mention of Automatic rules.
How can I solve the problem?
Hi,
I have a joying UIS7862, 6GB+128GB,10.1" 1920x1200 head unit .
I am trying to use a navigation bar type application. After installing this application in the accessibility settings there is a new option that must be enabled for this app to work.
After enabling this option, the application works fine, but every time unit wakes up from sleep, this setting goes back to off.
Of course if you switch it to 'on' the application works fine again.
Does anyone know how to set this option permanently?
(the same problem concerns also other navigation bar apps )

What app are you using?
Have you tried installing it as a system app?

It is 'simple control - navigation bar' . But I have tried many of them and it was the same.
How can I install it as a system app?
What application is this?
What accessibility option are you using?
Perhaps there is a way to use Tasker to enable this option on starts

This is navigation bar type application. Just back, home and recent button. I thought about tasker, but I can not get it to perform a task at system wake up. Tasker is probably killed when device goes to sleep and then automatically restored but with some delay. It works after the system wake up, but I can not find the way to make it react to waking up ....
I would start by creating a tasker task that makes the appr. system changes. Then put a tasker widget/button on your home screen for that task. From there you can work on automating it via any of the many options you might have available thru tasker (screen/wifi/bt on/off etc)
in my unit (mekede), there is an option in the settings to autostart up to 3 apps. maybe if yours has that, it would help
All of the apps I use stay in memory while the unit is asleep

Exactly, the newer Mekede/NOR MCU units do this really well.
Up to three apps can be defined.
