[Q] Looking For App: Sleep Timer - Nook Color General

Stock Nook Color - Rooted
--
I primarily use my Nook as a bedside tablet / alarm clock (using Night Clock). I have it docked and charging, with audio output going to external speakers. It is like this 90% of the time, but I occasionally unhook it to read in bed, or around the house.
In replacing my "real" clock radio, I'm starting to miss the Sleep Timer. Ideally, I'd like an app that would play a "mellow" playlist of mp3s, with a timer function that can be set for a hour or more. If that app could also lower the playing volume over time as well, that'd be great (but it would have to be app-volume, or at least return the volume back to the preset so I can still hear the MP3 alarm in the morning.)
I'm still rather new to Android, but does something like this exist?

I use Sleeptimer. Its not exactly what your looking for though. It allows you to select app you want to run and then set how long you want you want it to run( in 1 and 5 minute increments) .
In my case, I tell it to run either Pandora or Q3( the music player I use) and then I have it set to 30 minutes. Then each night I open sleeptimer, press start timer and then press run music player and it starts whaterever app I had selected. It will then close the program after your selected time( although you can shake the nook to extend the time by five minutes).
You could have it open up your music player app and have a 'mellow' playlist that you play, or Pandora with a mellow artist selected. Unfortunately it cannot lower the volume over time.

Easy, Mortplayer. Best Music Player and has TONS of features. Including Alarm Clock and Sleep Timer Functions. Just head on over to Market and type in 'Mortplayer'. It's completely free with no Ads.
Be sure to explore the Settings menu as there are alot of Good features hidden there including Swipe gestures and a Custom Lock Screen. Also if your running CM7 and have the Power Widget in the Notification bar enabled the Play/Pause button works with Mortplayer.

Turned off display while playing music in TF3D?

Hi.
I want to have turned display off while playing music in TF3D player. It never turns automatically off and when I try do it manually (top ON/OFF button), it switchs also music player off and not only the display.
What to do?
Thank you.
I use Nitrogen media player, it's excellent, looks good and is free. It also has a handy button to turn off the display and will run in the background quite happily.

[Q] deactivate music widget on lock screen with bcm rc3.2u1

i'm using bcm rc3.2u1 on my nexus one and i'm mostly happy with that rom.
but when i'm listening to music while my phone is in my pocket i'm always switching play/pause or jumping to the next song involuntarily.
how is it possible to deactivate the music widget on the lock screen?
I had the same problem. The problem isn't the widget its actually in the music settings.
Go into the music app settings and under UI, shake & Flip settings. For me, the Shake action was set to none, but was still enabled to go to next so I just reselected 'None' and that solved that problem. Its also set to pause when the phone flips so you might want to turn that off as well.
thx for your reply.
in my case the on/off-button gets pushed and random touchscreen inputs switches the song.
i can reduce the effect if i turn the smartphone in my pocket so that the backside is on my leg but it doesn't solve the problem.
shake & flip actions are set to none (and also switched to any other option and back to none).
i was wrong. it helped.
thank you.

Sound mod?

I'm looking for a way that if I'm playing music and get a notification sound or something like that my music is still playing but with reduced volume.
Now it is pausing completely.
Example : when I am running with the Running app and listening to music at every notification of distance music stops for a few seconds and that's annoying.
A d secondly I would love to see at long press volume button to skip track function.

Tasker or similar apps

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.
