Hi,
I came from a Windows Mobile phone and I miss several applications for Android. One of them is Lorndragon's Phone Timer. It's concept is simple and useful; it's just a daily scheduler for auto turn-off/on phone, so you can have the phone off in the timetable you usually don't want to be bothered, I.E. at night time (and you save battery too).
This is a screenshot of the app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, my question is simple. Do you know any app, more or less similar, for Android? (for phone or for plane mode scheduling)
Thanks and best regards.
I doubt anything out there is going to work on a Nexus 4 without rooting. Google seems to be following some of Apple's lead by locking down more and more of the OS with each release. In 4.2, apps don't have permission to shutdown the phone state. If rooted, there are a variety of apps to do this, the best/most versatile/simplest of which is probably tasker.
Root is not a problem. Thanks for the answer, I'll take a look to Tasker app.

What is it:
Its a minimalist app, designed to emulate Briefing option in touchwiz based samsung devices.
A while ago I switched to CM on my Note 2 and this was the feature that I missed the most.
For those who haven't used it, its essentially does one thing, and one thing only: Instead of ringtone/alert/songs, it dynamically grabs news/stocks and reads it to you.
It does not replace or the stock alarm functionality. Instead it works with it. You can turn it on and off independently. Also, it is much more flexible and customizable compared to sammy briefing.
It is a WIP so if you encounter any bug or issues, do let me know.
Feature requests are also welcome.
Grab it from Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parsecgames.dynamicringtone

Greetings all,
I have been suffering with the battery of my backup device, an HTC HD2. When I travel I take it as a spare, but it's power button is easily pushed when it is in my handbag, and I arrive with the battery empty.
So I wrote an app that will power off the device upon boot: it will give the user a 10 second counter before actually powering off the device.
The app obviously requires ROOT, and is not yet finished and completely polished, it has some issues the first time it asks for root permission, but it works on my device. Currently I don't have time to work on it, so I am releasing it as open source on github, feel free to contribute to make it a better app.

Attached is an APK of the app, working with bugs.
and the source code is over GitHub.
Greetings:
I have found an F2 Uwatch Smartwatch while browsing Aliexpress market place.
Does anyone out there have this watch or have good information about it?
Here is a picture of it:

It's ok
I have one. They are not too bad with the basic functions. The app is in a huge need of updating as Android won't sync properly with the phone yet some similar apps will but not give full functionality. IPhones version of the mediatek app works so much better. As for software and apps on the watch very limited, no ability to update the firmware or backgrounds and the downloadable applications from the apks don't work properly. Build quality is great but without software development it's as unless as tits on a bull.
Hey Guys!
I'm kinda missing the feature of holding back button for a 1,5-2sec to kill app that is in full screen. It's missing in +5 for some reason. Any ideas how to replace it? I didn't find a port for now. Device is rooted ofc
hope they will implement in stock rom... Why don't we input this request in their system ? If we will be many, they will hear us maybe
I'm running 7.1.2 LineageOs on my OPX and have the option, in developer options all the way at the bottom

Well, All In One Gestures on the play store allows you to do this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
It requires root and a bunch of permissions if you feel it's needed.
I also use All In One Gestures just for Back to Kill
Hi,
for running and sports, I use Runtastic to track my GPS location but im still not able to record a whole training with that phone.
First try: Blindly hoped everything will work. I ran 40 Minutes. After 5 GPS was lost. After 15 APP stopped recording running time.
Second try:
Deactivated Battery Optimization for Runtastic
Deactivated both extended Battery Optimization options
Deactivated Intelligent Battery
Then I ran again with the result of loosing GPS after 15 minutes. App recorded the time normally. So at least one step further.
What can I also do? I dont want to root or flash roms. Thanks for any reply
Here is my run in result:
