replace HTC Home

I am trying to replace HTC Home, i dont like how slow it makes my phone. The idea is to have a bunch of different plugins and such in UltimateLaunch.
these are the main things I want in UltimateLaunch, and I was wondering if you guys could help me out in finding them?
clock
I really liked the look of the clock in HTC Home, I used the DigitalGlow Yellow one. does anyone know of a good clock today plugin that i could use in UL?
photo contact dialer
This feature was awesome. I found one today screen app that was ripped from a TREO 700w (link) but it seems to run really slowly. It gets the job done, but I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for a faster one?
weather
I have tried Pocketweather and SPB weather but didnt like either of them. I just want an app that has the current conditions, and a few days in advance, do you guys have any ideas?
Thanks for looking at my post and helping out. If i could find all of this stuff, it would be amazing.

What about the automatic ringer? that one feature is why I use HTC Home

what do you mean by automatic ringer?

Search for rlToday. I think some have used it to make an HTC Home like today screen. I think dcd has offered to share his code if asked.

On the 6-tab version... I belive it's the far right tab: the one that lets you select sound off, vibrate and ringer on. The far right option: automatic ringer. Best feature ever on a phone.

spb phone plugin offers automatic ringer also, if by automatic you mean that it goes silent when you are in a meeting and such.

I assume that's what they mean... i have htc home and it automatically goes into vibrate when i'm in meetings, it is a nice feature for the forgetful mind... now if everyone's phone did it. maybe at the movies too that would be a nice feature

what does it actually do? like how does it work? time based? and where are the settings? i only use silent and vibrate.

Turns off the ringer when you have an outlook appointment schedueled as 'busy' (default appointment)
I set my classes as a recurring appointment (as well as finals) so the phone ringer automatically turns off when a class starts. As to not piss off professors, embarass myself and/or bother with turning off and on the ringer several times a day.
works for meeting, etc. as well, of course

I have my phone set to vibrate and ring. If I set it to automatic, will it not ring and still vibrate, or is there a registry setting to set it that way?

I will agree with this assessment.

Notification Volume

So on every android phone, in the sound settings for ringtone, you can set it so that your notification and ringtone volume is the same (by checking off a little box). I font see this option on the phone and so when I lower my volume it only lowers it for the ringtone, not emails and texts etc. this is ANNOYING. is they're not a setting for this or is it just me?

It's extremely annoying, and my biggest issue I've had with the phone so far. Followed closely by no notification LED. Hoping to see fixes for both soon.

Okay, here's how.
As usual, Settings > Sound and Display > Notification Ringtone. Now that you have the notification ringtone list open, just press the volume key to adjust.

That's how you manually adjust the notification ringtone, as always. What we're missing is the option always in every other Android OS that allows you to match your notification volume automatically to your ringtone volume, allowing you to adjust everything at once by the hard keys on the outside of the phone. Without that option you bump your ringtone way down, for example to go in a meeting, then one of your notifications goes off full blast.

Okay, I see now. I haven't had an android phone in a month so I'm a bit rusty. Well here's a fix to that then. I can't do anything about it in the settings itself, but go to the market and download "Quick Settings." Open the app and go into volume control. On the top there is a check box for "Use Ringer volume for Notifications." Now it'll work.

That sucks big ones. I'll have to use audio manager till that issue gets fixed. This is why I hate non-stock android phones because manufacturers like htc, motorola, and samsung think they thought of everything but they always end up messing something up

Ummm......did you miss my second post? It fixes the problem.

Yeah since you posted a minute before me which means I was typing mine while you posted yours..but thanks! Awesome

I agree, this is the most annoying thing about the vibrant. (luckily its an easy fix)
Thanks for the suggestion on the "Quick Settings" app

damn, whats up with samsung phones just straight up missing **** that's included in android? I was googling for a way to block calls when I saw that android should be able to take any contact and send their calls straight to voicemail.. NOPE, not on my epic.. now the notification/ringer volume link is missing too?! WTF?
I'm having a serious case of buyer's remorse right now.

Silent mode on Nexus 6 workaround

Hi there!
I know there are a few threads about it, BUT I thought as no one obviously knows about the workaround for putting the Nexus 6 in silent mode without the need of an app, I decided to make a seperate thread. It's working on Stock ROM, you don't have to be rooted.
This is how it works:
- Put the phone all the way down to vibrate with the volume down key
- Then tap once on the volume up key so you are on - lets call it "volume step one"
- Now reboot your phone
Congrats, silent mode is back! Unfortunately, you have to do it all over again, if you change the volume once...
Regards

Wait, am I missing something here?
Why not hit the volume button then select "none" from the options of "none, priority, all"?
Enters silent mode pretty easily for me!

I think what people liked about silent mode was it allowed Alarms through. "None" means no sounds or alarms. Priority mode with just Alarms set as priority isn't a workaround because some Apps can still emit sounds. The main problem with this new notification system aside from the fact that it eliminated a couple of real world use case scenarios is it is just flat out not intuitive.

I use Tasker, set media and ringtone to 0 alarms stay at 4, start at 7:00 workdays, end at 4:30 (silent mode except alarms) then volumes return to normal. Works like a charm, this way I don't have to remember to change the volumes when I get to work, or turn them up when I go home....

I use Tasker a lot too, and for many things. And I can't remember now, but what about vibration? I mean in "real" silent mode, vibration is off. If you only set media and ringtone to 0, does your phone still vibrate? I mean in Lollipop you can't even turn vibration off, right?
So my phone is on silent without vibration, so that only my G Watch R vibrates on calls and notifications, with alarms going off on the phone as usual...
"None" is no silent mode for me...

That's correct, there currently is no silent, I did read that they were doing something with the sound settings in 5.1 but not exactly sure what that will look like. I am pretty sure you could get silent back some how if you were to root the phone but I am not ready to go there yet. Other than using a little battery I don't mind the vibration, as is I can get 2 days on a charge without too much effort.

Specifically for apps, you have to flag them as priority for their notifications to go through. Otherwise, in Sounds & Notifications settings you can specify "Priority Interruptions" which you can select system Events and reminders (alarms), Calls and Messages you want to go through.
I use it for meetings and class... so far it has yet to allow a notification that I haven't set to priority.

Still they all vibrate, right?

If your turn on priority mode, no apps will push notifications to you, unless you prioritize them.
None disabled everything.

Nope, no notifications even vibrate lol. Priority mode means, no notifications will wake the device or vibrate unless you prioritize them.

What the other poster probably meant is that apps can bypass Priority mode. This has been thoroughly documented, and according to Google it's "working as intended". Some apps have already fixed it, like Whatsapp, and very recently, FB messenger, but other big ones like Viber and Skype are yet to do it. It's a big nuisance that one has to depend on app developers to conform in order for such an important OS function to work correctly.

You can get the app Nights Keeper, it will do the old silent mode and more. The free version should be enough for simple silent mode, but the premium is only a couple bucks. The actionable notification and the widget are awesome. No root required.

[TASKER][OPT]After the Update to 3.5.5 / 3.5.6 rules aren't set or overridden

Hi,
I had different tasker rules for setting my mobile to mute at work and so on.
But after upgrading to 3.5.5 and now 3.5.6 the tasker rules won't work. I think the Oxygen overrides it by the alarm slider.
Is there any possibility that it work again?
Thanks.

I have the same problems. Currently I havent been able to find a sollution, despite using a few hours yesterday. It might be possible if you can update "secure settings" (not the app), which is possible using a plugin (App: SecureTask).

It's okay, do you maybe think it's possible to set the phone to vibrate only when in priority mode. With the new update they changed it so that you can't mute the volume anymore. I want mute to be mute and middle to be vibrate. I know how to make a task work with tasker but I can't override the volume.

Perhaps by changing notification sound and ringtone to "Silent" in Priority, and back again in "All". - Alternatively use "none" option, and in Tasker manually add a vibration pattern... both options has its drawbacks...
My setup. At work (connected at wifi), change "Location" variable to work. When Location variable ="work" + weekday + time (8-17), set "do not disturb" to priority. -
Same at home, during night time.
Furhter to this, I read the interrupt value in a seperate job, and adjust various sound values accordinly and add a small 0,2 sec vibration, just so I feel that my phone goes to vibrate when at work.
I rarely use the slider on the phone.

did you restore apps with titanium backup? then try renstaling app

Silent notifications when their sound is On

All notifications come silently, with vibrations only, although their sound is on. I think, that is because I use DND rules.
Does anyone have the issue too? How to fix that?
I have 3 devices and all of them have the same issue. The problem came, I think, when they got Android 8 or 8.1.

Just Google the do not disturb mode
Try and see difference between the modes
Look at automatic rules for DND
Voila

No-no. Of course, when DND is ON, I don't hear any notifications.
But! When DND is OFF, notifications don't play sounds.
Restart helps, but not always.

No. Maybe there is some app which causes the problem. And I am almost sure about it. Because just my phones have the problem and I cannot Google similar symptoms. But what the app - I don't know.
My unusual apps:
- ACR (audio call recorder)
- Google Fit
- SoloLearn
- Zedge

I use Google fit too and except a little battery drain ? i have my notification sound.
So you're not rooted etc... Just using app from playstore.
Start eliminate them one by one
1-Check apps that use accessibility service
(under settings / accessibility)
2-Check apps that use notification permissions
(under settings / applications / show permissions and look the notification tab)
3-Did the problem hapenned after a "specific date" it could also be an app update
Zedge app is made to customize notification sound try uninstall this one first.
Also is this happening for all app?
Did you put the ringtone sound to the lowest?
Because on stock notification sound volume is the same as ringtone one. (except with root - but maybe an app you used put it to the lowest)
Putting ringtone sound maybe would debug the thing.
Do you hear the ringtone when a call comes in?
I'm sorry bro i can just suggest some idea you already tried. I hope someone got the same problem and manage to fix. Maybe you'll be the one that will help future user in this case ?
Good luck with this. Sometimes solution is very simple. Sometimes it just need a factory reset. But you don't learn where you f*cked up
