[Android 2.1+] SMS Forwarder Pro

After finally having a new emailing service in place, I am happy to announce the release of SMS Forwarder Pro. An SMS Forwarding app that does so much more than just forward your text messages to any number and/or email that you specify.
AndroidAppsReview.com gave it the Editors Choice award in their review.
SMS Forwarder Pro is a tremendous value for those in need. What you make of the app is up to you, but with a fair price, tremendous functionality, and a gut-bustingly simple design, SMS Forwarder Pro earns a full recommendation from us here at Android Apps Review. The app is a power-punch for the right user, and with killer tech support rolled into the mix, your days of wondering exactly what was said to whom are officially over.

Hi,
i´ve read both sites, but few questions are hanging on me.
You have written something about stealth mode, did this mode also hide the app from the Froyo menue?
In my humble oppinion it is not very tricky for kids to discover and delete this app.
If the app is configured, is it neccessary to activate it every time, or ist there an option to "start" the service permanent?
Thanks for more information
Regards
Christian

I have the same question

Hi!
My apologies for the late reply.
Anyways, its not necessary to manually start the forwarding at boot. This can be configured from the app and its possible to have it automatically start up.
It is however, not possible to hide the app from the launcher. Even if it was, it would still be visible in the application management screen anyways, so any kid who's the least tech savvy would be able to remove it.
That said, your best bet would be to install a 3rd party launcher that has the ability to hide menu items (I believe both ADW and Launcher Pro can do this).
Hope that answers your question. I am contemplating releasing a free version of the app here on XDA for a limited time period!

New update uploaded. Fixes some layout issues on low-res devices, and improved layout alignment on all other devices!

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

Getting Started With Tasker

Getting Started With Tasker
Many of us have probably had a similar experience with the first time we used Tasker. We download the app, take our clothes off, get into bed and then realize we just aren't ready for this. So I thought I'd put together a small getting started guide for Tasker.
What is Tasker?
Tasker is an Android app that allows you to create automated tasks that are triggered based on selected circumstances... Ok that's already confusing so let me give you an example. I can program tasker to open up my shopping list every time my GPS location shows that I'm at the grocery store. I can also program my phone to to lock my texting app when I go to sleep so my girlfriend doesn't snoop through my phone. Now all I need is a girlfriend.
First be sure to download the app from the Play store.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Scenes
Scenes are user interfaces that you can create in Tasker. Think of a scene as a box that contains various elements that you would normally find in an app interface, like buttons, text, text input, images, sliders, and so on. Normal Tasker actions can be tied to these elements, so that you can have a button that runs a task, a text field that lets you write text to a variable, or a slider that controls screen brightness.
Scenes can be all kinds of sizes, and be displayed in different ways: As a pop-up box, full screen like an app, as an overlay over another app, and so on. The size and type of scene depends on what you need the scene to do. I will quickly go through the basics of creating a scene, and then I will go through multiple examples at the end to show how everything works in practice and for different uses.
Tasks
Tasks are a set of customized actions. You can create tasks like "If the battery is below 50%, mute volume." Creating tasks is usually the part where most people give up. After all it looks like you're solving advanced algebra problems. Stick with it and mess around with it until you get the hang of it.
Profiles
Profiles are conditions that will trigger your tasks that you've created. I can create a profile that will trigger my mute volume task that I created above to only activate on the weekends. So then I know that every Saturday and Sunday my volume will mute if my battery is below 50%.
These settings will also take a bit to get used to. Don't worry, you wont hurt anything by messing around with them until it all makes sense.
This will get you started to the point where you can create your first automated task. Just start simple and then experiment with more complex tasks.

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_share": "Share",
"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.
