*** This app might not work properly on Lollipop devices (Android 5.x) when Do Not Disturb is active ***
This app silences the ringtone of an incoming call when you pick up your device from a standstill location, say from a table. Also you can enable to silence the ringtone by waving over the phone.
The app uses accelerometer reading to detect pick up motion and proximity sensor reading to detect wave motion. It is advised to change the "Pick sensitivity" if necessary. No service is constantly running, hence this app won't drain any battery.
Permissions:
READ_PHONE_STATE: allows to detect incoming call. The app doesn't store the call details.
Do Not Disturb access: required to change ringtone volume when phone is in DND mode.
Internet access: used only to display ads.

Just need this kind of software, I will make a try, thank you!
I am creating an app which will speak the caller name when the phone rings. I am using TTS for this. Everything is working smooth except in one situation. When the phone rings at time user press the Volume / Turn off button to put the ringing on silent though incoming call continues. I am unable to handle this situation. I have one UI (Activity) for app settings, One BroadCast reciever to handle calls, One PhoneStateListener to check the incoming call and one Service to execute the TTS. How and where to handle this trigger when the user puts the ringing of the phone in silent.
I've recently downloaded Llama and am amazed that this app is free! I've set up the basics (turn on/off Wi-Fi when I enter/leave home/work, go on vibrate at work, etc.), but do you gents/ladies have any personal suggestions or tips on events I can set up to grease the wheels of my day-to-day grind?
Llama is a must have free app if you don't already use the paid app Tasker. Using cell towers as a battery-free location service is a great idea and more apps are starting to use that now.
My favorite uses for Llama are saving battery by toggling auto sync and fixing a pet peeve of mine: plugging in headphones and not realizing the volume is too loud. Second one is a bit tricky and needs to work in conjunction with the Sound Profiles you've already set up for Day/Night etc.Lastly, you can also use it as an easy way to change the brightness automatically throughout the day.
ex.
Auto-Sync
-When using Battery, Disable Account Sync
-When Charging, Enable Account Sync
Volume Control
-When any wired headset is connected - Change Profile to Headphones
-At Home between (Set Time){when wired headset is disconnected} Change Profile to Normal
-At Home between (Set Time){when wired headset is disconnected} Change Profile to Quiet
Am I the only one with the current bug that allows calls through even when I'm in silent mode? If it works for you what version of llama are you on?

Latest version and no such issue. There is the option to set certain contacts as "Noisy" and they will ring anyways even when silent.
Edit your Silent profile and make sure your ringtone and notification volume is set to 0.
some aids i use:
temp mute phone when using camera
start music when headset connect
kill musicplayer when headset disconnect
silent at work
only wifi at home
no problems with calls on silent
What I'm looking for is any ideas or suggestions on how to make Lollipop behave more like KitKat did for notifications with a Pebble.
What I used on Kitkat:
- Pebble watch for all notifications (using the Pebble software and Pebble Notifier to send all/most notifications to the watch)
- Phone on Silent mode
- Alarms ring on phone
This is a good combination for me as the phone stays quiet and the Pebble lets just me know what is going on.
On Lollipop
I want the same kind of setup now, but the lack of Silent mode makes this harder to achieve. I do know the trick to set the volume one above Vibe then reboot, and that does work... but it's a kludge.
- the Priority Interruptions actually silence all pebble notifications, so I have to keep it to All to get it, which then causes the phone to vibe too (unless I do the reboot trick).
So, does anyone have a combination of settings that makes this work like the KitKat days?
Here are a few thoughts on dealing with this. I use Llama or Tasker to get silent mode. Turning on silent mode in either of these turns on priority mode and then I use them to set the notification volume to 0. I have some Tasker stuff to toggle this from the pebble, and it's quick to switch profiles from the Llama notification on the phone for where location profiles don't already do what I need.
As to priority mode preventing pebble notifications, that can be avoided too. The gmail and calendar and call notifications work fine with the pebble app. I use light flow (but notification center should work too) for third party notifications. You have to add the application that forwards notifications to the list of apps that can notify in priority mode. So in addition to hangouts and other apps that I want to receive notifications from, I set light flow notifications to priority mode too (and in light flow I disabled their persistent notification because I don't need it).
I never leave priority mode on the phone, I just change the notification volume through profiles in the above apps. It works fine, and I get all notifications on the pebble.
Hope this helps.
Edit: And this does the right thing for alarms, since alarms are always priority.
I'm doing the same thing basically - I had Tasker rules to silence the phone (alarm volume = 0) in certain conditions, and when I upgraded to Lollipop they still worked. Not free, but it's workable. There are still some issues though that I haven't figured out, I'm not sure Tasker can un-slient a phone in that state (volume buttons will override) and of course Tasker doesn't know about the various priority modes at all yet.
Hi,
I have my phone always set to "Do not disturb" with exceptions active ( alarm and calls from everyone ).
This means my phone is always silent ( no vibrate and sound ) for everything except calls and alarms.
Here is the problem:
I have one app "apager pro" that gives me a sound alarm that I also want to receive. I could achieve this because this app has a build in functionality
to "always play alert sound and ignore sound settings of the phone".
With this setting this app always gives me a sound alarm. But I want it be be silent between 10pm and 8am.
Does anyone know an Xposed tweak or app that allows me to also override the "do not disturb mode" for a specific app but only on a specific time.
Again what I want to achieve: Calls and Alarm clock always vibrate and sound. Everything else no vibrate and sound. And then this single app vibrate and sound but only at specific times.
Does anyone know an xposed module or app that can do this ?
