A simple stopwatch and timer application that just works and looks great. Of course it has a stopwatch with laps and six individually customizable timers, but there's much more:
1. Never worry about multitasking
Whether you start it from the task switcher, Start screen or app list, EnClock will restore stopwatch and timer progress as if it was running the whole time.
2. Timer works in the background
Just like the default alarm app, even if the screen is off. Want to stop a timer midway through? No problem, thanks to the multitasking support Just start EnClock and you'll see the running timer. Tap "stop" – done!
3. Choose different sounds
You can choose between four different high-quality sounds for the timer. Or just select "none" and enjoy the silence.
4. Looks beautifully Metro
Tired of all the apps that are just "missing something"? EnClock feels perfectly at home on your Windows Phone, with smooth animated transitions, a minimal design, support for the light theme and an icon that changes with your chosen accent color.

This is my first app, so if you find any bugs please let me know and I'll fix them. Suggestions and feedback are also welcome!

Suggestion: show total time for each lap
I would like to see a stopwatch app that displays both the lap time and total/cumulative time for each lap. So for example for each lap time shown in the display, you could show the cumulative time just below the laptime, indented or in a different font to make it clear that it is the total time.
I use the 'lap' time on stopwatches sometimes to time several competitors at once, so it is convenient to have the cumulative time displayed and saved. I can then see in one glance what the total time was for each person, without having to add up the lap times.
It's a nice feature that not many stopwatch apps have and could differentiate your app from the others.

Suggestion
When i open the app the title and image aren't centered. Centering it would make it the least bit better imo. Other then that the app is awesome.

Could you please add more alarm sounds? My Nokia 900 has dozens. Can you tap into the built-in sounds on the different phones? That would be sweet and I'd pay for it.

Best timer/stopwatch app i have used. Very reliable. So many times other timers havent set off the alarm and this one does it 100% of the time.

This is an amazing stopwatch app Very reliable!!
In most stopwatch apps (perhaps 90%), the time will be reset to Zero (0) if I click on the app icon instead of click Back. But we don't have to worry about that with EnClock Furthermore, the app runs very smoothly and doesn't need too much time for starting (Many other apps need lots of time to start )
I'm very happy that I found this app!!! Thank you so much
@Livven Can you add the function "Prevent lock screen", please? Because when this app is run, the screen still automaticly turns off after 1 minutes (exactly as the setting in "lock+Wallpaper". It makes me very tired

Tasker Profile - In Car Use

I recently picked up Tasker, and so am trying to figure my way around how to use it for my in-car install. However, I can't seem to figure out, what is probably the most important piece, getting the screen to switch off / airplane mode to switch on when I remove power. I have installed Secure Settings plug in, but everything I have tried so far to get the screen to switch off has failed. I am sure I am missing something simple here.
Also, is there a way to have Tasker kill all open apps, instead of having to individually list apps?
Thanks.
Edit: Should have put this in the apps section.
Edit Again: Figured out the screen switching off, System Lock did the trick. For some reason it is not killing open apps though when the power is removed.

New profile>name it whatever>State Context>Hardware>Usb Plugged>Invert
New task>name it whatever>hit the "+" button>app>kill app>specifiy app (you'll have to do this for every single app).
alternatively, you could do:
new task>name it whatever>hit the "+" button>script>run shell> type a command that kills all apps, and check "use root". i dont know what command can be used to kill all apps though, lol, so...

Exit task. And what you want is Display->Lock to switch off the screen. As for Airplane mode, I believe that does require Secure Settings to toggle, but that should be pretty easy. Assuming you're rooted and the Secure Settings Helper is installed (see its app) directly.

This is dumb. That's all I'm going to say about this subject.

Thanks for the replies, I am rooted and do have Secure Settings installed, I will have to look into Airplane mode some more as I don't see it listed under the Secure Settings addon.
Is there a good guide anywhere for Tasker? I tried via their site, but most of the links were dead. When I connect power to the Nexus, Bluetooth comes on, but I also want it to use my phone for internet access (Settings -> Bluetooth - Paired Devices - Use for internet access). It seems like everytime Bluetooth goes off, that box becomes unchecked, and currently I hvae to manually go in and check it again. I am guessing I need a script to do that, but I have no clue how to write a script to do so, and can't find much by the way of help / tutorials (I admit though, I am at work, and have not spent a huge amount of time searching).

Tasker google groups is the place to go.

Make 2 profiles, 1 for power on 1 for power off. Open secure setting,the option is there to install helper.Then when you set new task select plugins,then secure setting that will appear now that helper is installed.Airplane mode is there.As for screen on and off, set screen off 23 hours 59 mins under power on profile , set screen off 7secs(minimum) under power off.
The other 2 profiles are timed according to daylight so the brightness decreases at night increases in the day.I wouldnt use the kill app function it doesnt play nicely and causes some crashing issues at shutdown thats why mine are disabled.

Hello there, I'm the creator of the competition app Pebby - Baby Helper.
Pebby helps you take care of your baby. It allows you to easily set the last time the baby slept, ate or had its diaper changed. Glance down and check how long it has been since any of those events.
Pressing one of the three buttons starts or stops the timer for each of the three activities. The last time or time interval is shown besides each activity.
You can also view statistics and graphs of your baby's activities on your smartphone, on the configuration page.
Now that the competition is over and the first version of the app is released, I'll continue to listen to feedback and ideas for Pebby, to further improve it.
As this app is based on actual requests from moms, it's important for me to receive parents' inputs on how to improve it. Feel free to offer suggestions in this thread or via PM.
I hope you enjoy Pebby and be sure to tell all your friends with babies about it!

Project Roadmap
This is the project roadmap right now:
Create barebones project with app name and icon
Display button icons
React to feeding and diaper change buttons and save their times
React to sleeping button and save its times (start and end)
Persist time data locally for future app executions
Experiment with Action Bar to conserve screen real estate
Explore phone-side persistence and graphs display with Javascript, prepare JS Bundling
App config page with activity graphs on phone
Show 'X time ago' for each of the activities
Reliability improvements / tests
Design store assets
Future work:
Offer a way to register activities for twins

Here's a first draft screenshot:

Progress Report
The project is going along nicely, with the basic draft layout already done.
The app already has a menu icon and can be used to track the last feeding and diaper change times.
Next steps are to implement the sleeping times and save the information between app executions!

After some more development time, here's where Pebby is:
I've implemented the sleeping times, the time values persistence and redesigned the icons as an action bar to free up some much needed screen real estate.
Bonus points for automatically supporting buttons' pressed state now (because of the action bar, nifty little layer).
The absolute basic functionality of the app is now done, but it's time to start considering the storage and display of graphs: iOS apps require some time after bundling the working Javascript, which I'll need to implement the remaining features.

No screenshot today because the work so far has been mainly behind the scenes:
Communication between watch-phone
Storage of all values on phone, along with latest values on watch
Barebones configuration page
Communication between phone and configurations page
Ability to reset values history and start from scratch
App submission to the Pebble Store with Javascript bundling for iOS

And we're starting to see some graphs here!

The challenge end date is closing in and the app finally displays fuzzy "X time ago" texts.
I'm going to use the time that's left to essentially debug the app and make it more reliable in cases where the phone becomes disconnected from the watch as well as design the required store assets.

App released!
Check the first post for all the goodies, and thanks for following along!

Just wondering if this will work with a Pebble Time Round...? And, if not, can you create a "round" version??

I didn't do anything specific for the round Pebbles. A number of fixes and improvements are planned for the future, including upgrading the app to use the new SDKs and correctly drawing on second and third generation devices but unfortunately I haven't had the time to do it. So it's not forgotten but I can't promise dates right now.
If you do end up testing it on Pebble Time Round can you please report how it shows right now?
Thanks

How Tasker Can Make You More Productive

How Tasker Can Make You More Productive
Have you taken a look at Tasker and thought "Eh this isn't for me.." Well if so then that would make you a liar. Tasker is for anyone and everyone that wants to improve the way that they use their Android device. First thing you should know is that most of those mods you flash to get special features like Tap2Wake, Active Display, Silent mode when faced down and others are all possible with Tasker. You don't even need to root your device! So right there you're saving time and happiness. Let's take a look at all of the best ways that Tasker can make you more productive like a business man with a briefcase.
Automate SMS
Everyday I have to go pickup my stupid idiot brother from work. Once I'm there I have to fumble around with my phone as I spill hot coffee all over myself so I can text him that I've arrived. Well no more! I can automate an outgoing sms based on my location. So this idea is simple. I set a new profile based on location. I chose the GPS location of where my brother works. The action I attach to that location will be sending an sms to my brothers phone number that says "Here." Now the text will be sent automatically as soon as I pull into the parking lot.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The same idea can be applied to locations on the road. So if I'm in route to my meet my brother at his work, I can program a text to be sent that says "I'll be there in 15 minutes" once I reach a specific location.
You can also schedule texts to be sent out based on date and time. Never forget about Mothers Day again and just tell your phone to text your Mom "Happy Mothers Day! I'll never forget about you!" on whatever day Mothers Day is on. Who knows.
Keep Track Of Time
Here's a pretty nifty one that some people are using. You can keep better track of time as it passes, by setting your phone to vibrate every 30 minutes.
Of course you can use this in anyway that you please. Maybe you set it to vibrate every 10 minutes from 8:00am - 9:00am every morning as you get ready for work. It's a simple task that can be used for many different things.
Create context-based voice reminders
Well here is a good idea. You can set voice reminders based on the time and date. At the end of every month you can have your phone yell at you about paying your bills.
So for a task like this to run, you'd create a new profile where the context is the date and the event is the reminder. This is another simple but very useful task.
Sensor Events
This is my favorite type of task to run. You can assign any type of task to run when it's triggered by a sensor. For example we can tell Tasker to launch Chrome when you shake your device. You can even program how sensitive the shake trigger will be and how long it lasts. But launching an app is just one thing you can do with it. You can also tell it to shut your screen off, send a text, make a call, kill a specific app and all kinds of nice things.
These examples are pretty bare bone but it's just to get you started. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be creating much more elaborate tasks that can do amazing things to help you be a more productive person.

Awesome stuff really like the alarm one
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Thank you for profiles.

You can use the "test app" feature in the application task section, and test against the Calendar app to pull data from it. Then you can manipulate this however you want, for example, when I dismiss my alarm my phone reads out my calendar events for the day. I will post a guide later today on how to do this.

I use a couple of profiles for productivity. The first is what I call active mode, which is a user created variable. If I'm in active mode and try to go on non productive apps such as a game or social media my phone tells me I'm in active mode and should do some work before switching back to my launcher home screen. I also have some activity tracking profiles which log when I start and finish something before uploading the information to a Google spread sheet.

[[REQUEST]] Automate dialogs module (See iOS /Automata/)

Well, since failed to finda mod/tweak/app, whatever, that is capable of this...
In short, I want a module to automate the choices for the dialogs Android has from time to time.
Such as these.

### Further Elaboration###
Back in my iOS time, there used to be a cydia tweak called "Automata", which automated such popup messages etc.
(Contacting the dev - naturally - didn't give me any response... go figure)
This was one thing iOS's homebrew devs did very well... it saves so much time
( The app basically kept a list on any app and their popups [similar to NotifyClear on Android] and then if such Dialog fired, answered it automatically with the last remembered user choice
(In order to train the program, you just had to hold the desired button for some time, till "Automata" asked you to remember the choice for the future)
I would love it, if someone could point me to such tweak, as this is the only thing I dearly miss on Android.
Thanks in advance for suggestions (if such Xposed modules already exists), or for devs that take an interest.
If you want I answer any questions regarding how that tweak operated, if required.

EDIT: this here looks interesting, however as I have no developing skills I'm not sure how far it could help.

You don't need an Xposed module for this, Tasker can handle this

Not really...,
at least... not well.
(I already dismiss some popups via tasker + autoinput, but it lacks the simplicity this program offered... I already have quiet some Tasks running all the time... Overloading Tasker w. 20+ tasks just for popups seems ridiculous)
There are many instances that - I think arent defined.
+
There are dialogs tasker can't reach, cause it takes time after a reboot.
The airplane mode message f.e. that shows after unlocking if it is on

There is an Xposed module that will get rid of airplane mode messages both stand alone and part of wanam I believe. Properly configured there are no dialogs that Wanam cannot cover for you. Whether tasker has 20+ tasks or 200+ it doesn't matter. As far is a "simple" app for ios......it's a simple app for a simple device for simple users
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Ok... then:
Does a Tasker Profile/script sort of thing exist that:
Allows users to remember choices that were made on f.e. Dialogboxes and later replay them (probably via Autoinput)?
I tried iut AutoNotification, however it doesn't fire either wirh f.e. the USB Device usage popup on my LGG3.
