For those of you that don't know Bedside,
It is a night clock that turns off all notifications while it's opened. However, if somebody calls you, it will ring/vibrate, or whatever ring mode you had before you opened it. For example:
- You set the phone to vibrate
- Open Bedside
- You get any notification, sms, email, other app, etc.. it wont vibrate or sound, nothing.
- You get a call, it will vibrate.
It has features like:
- TTS (Text-to-Speech), long press anywhere on the screen, and Bedside will say the time. You can enable/disable this on the preferences.
- Swipe Up/Down for Brightness Control.
- Battery Status
- Option not to turn off sounds (Clock Only).
- Ability to Keep Screen On, or just let it off along with your Display Timeout setting (Bedside will keep running).
- 24 Hours Format (TTS will say time in 24 hours as well)
- Text Colors
- Text Fonts (only for the time)
- Subtle Background (optional since it doesn't help with Brightness)
- Flashlight (on the menu, or also you can enable the Show Lightbulb option on preferences and a small lightbulb will show up on the top left corner for easy flashlight access)
As you can see, this app is very customizable and useful. It's $1.49 and available in the market right now.
There's a "Lite" version as well but it's missing many features that the regular version has.
Who wants SMS whitelist support????
bedside without clock
Hello,
is it possible to make a widget-app which turns off all notifications, except the phone - vibrate, without the clock function?
On a regular basis I'm on permanence for my work and do not be worried by notifications while sleeping, except if they need me by phone ring.
with kind regards,
Luc

Yes, I have already thought about this and might start working on it soon, I'd like to finish the SMS (and maybe calls whitelists) on Bedside before doing a widget since it would be almost the same code.
Thanks!
Status on the new version (whitelists!), I've had some unconsistency problems, and I'm looking into it, haven't had the time to really fix it because I've been really busy with work/problems, but I'm getting back on track soon.
Hi All!
My first new thread, so hopefully someone can help!
I'd like to increase the number of icons available in the notify section at the top of the screen.
At the moment there is bluetooth, GPRS, signal, volume and battery - but when a new message comes in, the bluetooth icon becomes the 'multiple' speech bubble icon, which then takes 2 clicks to see what actually notifications there are.
Any ideas how to allow more than 5 icons at the top?
Rich.
Has no one managed this?

Hey everyone. Anyone here use Tasker or any similar app. If so so what are your favorite profiles or things to do with them?

Use search
I'm a long time Tasker user and cannot think using any device without it.
The main thing I use it for are:
- automatic change of audio volumes based on time and location;
- hourly chime;
- missed notifications reminder;
- automatic switch GPS ON/OFF when using maps;
... Other little things depending on specific ROM I'm using ...
Macro droid is pretty good, A tad easier to setup tasks
For me, Tasker knocked me down. I use Automateit Pro, a little bit more user friendly and does the job accurately.

I am using macro droid. Its really smooth and user friendly. Not as versatile as Tasker may be but it almost serves all the needs with more macros. It was my first purchase from google play.
Only use it to turn volume down when I arrive at the office.
Tasker and Secure Settings. I use it to:
1) Set ringtone to vibrate between 11pm to 6am
2) Trigger high accuracy GPS when I open waze.
3) Auto rotate only when in the camera, gallery, youtube and a few others.
4) Switch between edge and HSPA (to save battery) i.e. only swtich to hspa when youtube, web browser or app that needs a fast data connection is active.
5) Send emergency SMS to certain people when battery reaches to 10% (hardly ever happens but hey safe than sorry)
6) Switch to car mode (app) when connected to my bluetooth headset.
7) Open up emulator when game controller is connected.
8) When within range of my home town cell tower, switch on wifi, similarly when out of range of the tower, wait 2 mins then switch off wifi.

Do any of these require root?
I can't recall but I think secure settings requires root, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Most of them don't. Secure settings trigger different gps modes.
Ok cool thank you
Llama - is similar, as some alright features
I personally went for tasker and added secure settings
After 3 failed unlocks, takes picture on front cam and logs location
when face down, set phone to silent
when near home or work turn wifi on
when at home and connected to wifi, turn lock off
when connected to bluetooth in car turn lock off
on boot set lock to on
similar to others... other additions:
> read SMS sender and text contents while connected to car bluetooth [developing] (anyone know the right audio channel to play notifications through?)
> shake vertically to lock device (too big to always reach power button)
and per someone's earlier question yes you need root for secure settings to do most of its worthwhile tasker actions. although my secure settings is not working for enabling/disabling pattern unlock in 5.0 [liquidsmooth v4.0 unofficial]
I mainly use it to control the lights at home. I haven't been able to think of any other use cases for me

want to share this? looks a bit nifty
Below are the Tasker Profiles that I use:
1. Turn Wifi On when I'm connected to a cell tower near home. Turn off when I exit.
2. Notify to take my ID card when disconnected from wifi (reminds me in the elevator)
3. Turn on silent mode when I'm connected to a cell tower near office.
4. Switch to 2G when screen is off.
5. Turn on location for Maps, Uber, etc. Turn off when not using.
6. Increase the display timeout when using Feedly, Facebook, Play Store, etc. Change it back to 15 secs when not using.

Superquick:
New Profile "Shake it off" > Event > Shake Backwards & Forwards > Sensitivity = High, Duration = Medium > New Task "LockSystem" > If %SCREEN ~ on > System Lock
Note the "IF Screen ~ ON" otherwise while your phone is in your pocket it will keep locking which is not a problem untill you try to run with your phone playing music and you get the lock sound effect every step you take
The "Shake Backwards-Forwards" is not intuitive but the shake actions are sort of misnamed in tasker. This locks the phone if you shake it up and down vertically [insert masturbation gesture here].
The medium duration is also key so you get the right kind of threshold for not having the screen go off while you ride the bus but also not having to shake it for a while.

Tasker with OnePlus One
Hello,
I am using Tasker with some of the following tasks/settings...
Sound and Timeout profiles for Home, Out, Work and Night situations.
Toggle between different screens in Lightning launcher for Home, Out, Work or Night situations.
They than look similar to the Smart Screen Launcher screens.
Capturing notifications and displaying them in situations when I want them to appear, including sound and/or vibration.
Retrieving Sunrise/Sunset times and weather information, displaying the info via Zooper Widget.
Setting different wallpapers according the time and location during the day.
Adding the current location to for instance Evernote (like the app Where Am I).
A working time registration including reporting worked hours.
-Tasker
-Lightning Launcher
-Zooper Widgets
-AutoNotification (plugin for tasker)
-AutoLocation (plugin for tasker)
-AutoLaunch (plugin for tasker)
-Email Me (plugin for tasker)
There is so much you can do with tasker

I created Turbo Notify under [ Tasks ]
I created an action named Notify for Turbo Notify
Notify:
Title: Turbo Modes
Text: Toggle CPU Speeds
Under Actions: I added - Plugin / Kernel Aduitor then Configured it to toggle a cpu profile called Maximum.
I added 2 more. basically 3 toggles for Kernel Aduitors profiles.
So then I setup a Profile to work off of Device Boot then pointed it to Turbo Notify
So my question is this. Turbo Modes always comes up when the device boots. But the buttons below it do not always come up. Sometimes they may even go away during device use.
I am new to tasker and am a nub. Just wondering if I am missing something obvious. When I go into tasker then go into Tasks / Turbo Notify There is the action Notify and tap on the Play icon at the bottom left, the buttons show up on the notification. ( lil green light/icon shows up)
Sorry if it is a nub question. But how can I make it active all the time, and start on boot? The notification is always there, just not the buttons.
- Thnx in advance
I created a task to mimic what your doing. The buttons disappeared on me when unlocking the screen after my battery got (very) low. I've not had a lot of time to play with this, but I did notice when the buttons were missing, the notification did not look like it was expanded. They came back after a few notification drawer open/close cycles.
Still, I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Some thoughts;
Do you have icons assigned to the notification and each button? If not, try adding them.
Is "run in foreground" checked in the preferences -> monitor settings?
Yes I have icons assigned. Built-In ones. And yes to "run in foreground"
I have the priorities set to max, I don't know if that makes a difference.
Like I said I am new to tasker, I'm wondering if i overlooked something simple. Dunno.
Hello,
I'm trying to solve multiple issues with the P10, maybe some of you could help with the following?
- How can I disable the sounds when changing the volume up/down? Currently it beeps for each change, and did not find any settings to deactivate it.
- How can I disable the LED completely during charging?
- Can I customize the LED color depending on the notification source (eg whatsapp green, facebook blue, instagram red)?
- How can I show all pictures as a single non-grouped feed in the gallery app? Like "just display all my pictures sorted by date desc". It's often tedious having to remember if the picture I'm looking for was received by whatsapp (and thus having to go into the gallery whatsapp folder) or if I shot it myself.
- Can I "ungroup" notifications? Means, if ebay is sending 3 notifications, I just want to show up all those 3. By default, they are collapsed to one "group" notification. I'd like to disable this and just stack onto each other.
- Can the keyboard be changed to show a single key for Google Voice? Currently the comma key has to be long-pressed in order to bring the voice input on. This is often tricky as the comma key is the shortest of all...
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!
