Silent app

guys
Llama on my nexus 6 doesn't work and silent mode just doesn't keep the phone silent. Any other app that does this or has anybody used a blocking mode app that works for them? Root call blocker changes the whole interface of the dialing application and I don't like that part
Thx

Lollipop has no proper silent mode. If you don't want notification, just press volume rocker and choose "none" or if you want notification from any selected app, choose "priority". Proper silent mode will be added on 5.1

There is an xposed module that allows true silent mode (Allows alarms, unlike "none")

The app "Power Toggles" has a "Sound Toggle" widget you can set up to get the old silent mode back. You will still see the star icon in the status bar but the phone behaves the same as the old silent mode. Basically the toggle toggles between "None", "Old Silent Mode", "Priority" and "All".

I just set up a 1x1 Sound Toggle and stick it on my main home screen.
I also use this app to force the phone into immersive mode using a toggle for games that don't hide the nav buttons.(You lose keyboard support with it on though)

Pulse Notification Light

Hi guys,
Trying to get some control over my LED lights! Ideally what I'd like to do is switch the LED on and off using tasker but the tasker action that toggles "Settings" -> "Display" -> "Pulse notification light" seems to be broken (for some time). I've tried setting tasker up to run the command below (from here) but that throws an error in tasker (screenshot) so perhaps the location of that particular setting has changed since 2012.
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/led/led_pattern
Does anybody know the correct command that I could execute with tasker to toggle this setting?
I'm using a OnePlus 3T with OOS 4.1.1 (Adroid 7.1.1)
Cheers!

I'm not familiar with the OnePlus, but I know on my Pixel going into the settings and changing the notification light option ends up changing the notification_light_pulse system setting between 0 and 1. I figure it would be possible to also change that setting on a rooted phone with Tasker shell commands, or something like AutoTools Secure Settings could also do it on an unrooted phone. The setting changes I've tried have usually worked on my phone, except for preferred_network_mode1, so if your phone also uses that setting I would expect it to work. The link below has some information about shell commands in Tasker, and at the top it describes how to list the system settings on your phone, so you can see if notification_light_pulse is used by your phone. Below the link are the Tasker shell commands to turn the setting off or on for my phone, and the use root option needs to be checked so the shell commands will work.

settings put system notification_light_pulse 0
settings put system notification_light_pulse 1

Thanks, this is perfect! I did a quick check to see if this will work on my phone and running:
settings get system notification_light_pulse
returns: 0
Which is correct as I've currently toggled the setting off.

Just following back up on this - I've experimented a bit with this but it doesn't seem to be properly toggling the setting. Here's what I've found:
- Manually toggling the "Pulse notification light" setting sets that variable in settings (checked by using "settings get system notification_light_pulse" in a terminal app - toggles between 0 and 1)
- Manually toggling the "Pulse notification light" setting has the desired behaviour on the phone: LEDs are not lit up when charging when off, they are when on - using this to test as its reliable and easy to replicate
- Running a shell command in tasker sucessfully sets either a 1 or 0 for notification_light_pulse (checked using terminal as above) however it does not move the toggle in the settings screen in the phone
- Using tasker to set notification_light_pulse does not have the desired behaviouro n the phone: LEDS are unaffected (they retain whatever setting was set by the switch in settings before tasker got involved)
Any ideas what's going wrong here?

I'm not sure. It might be specific to how your phone is setup. I tested my phone, and the previously noted shell commands do cause the settings screen to reflect the change on the Pixel, which is different than what you were seeing. Changing preferred_network_mode1 doesn't cause my phone to actually change the radio until the Cellular networks setting screen is opened or the phone is restarted, so I've seen one similar example, where using the shell command doesn't cause a change in how the phone functions. On the pixel many settings menu items can be altered with shell commands, so I'd guess it could be ROM related.
EDIT: It looks like in the following post someone was using shell commands on a previous OnePlus phone and rom. I suppose it's possible there might be a custom OnePlus setting that's being used, and that idea could be tested using the list commands from the notenoughtech site to check if any other option changes when the setting screen is altered. If listing the settings doesn't turn up another option being changed, then it's something that's out of my current depth with using Tasker to make Android setting changes.

I've done a little more playing with this and it seems my testing method was actually at fault in the post above. Changing that setting does correctly set the LED flashing for notifications - it just doesn't affect the charging LEDs. This is actually ideal as I don't want charging LEDs ever!
It seems that in the Oneplus 3T at least this toggle changes more than one setting and the charging LED must be another setting that I haven't discovered yet.
Just to summarise for anyone else that might want this in the future:
If you want charging LEDs on: toggle "Pulse notification light" in display settings to on then use tasker to set the desired setting for notifications using the code above
If you want charging LED off: toggle "Pulse notification light" in display settings to off and use tasker to change the notification settings accordingly

Have some kudos! Many thanks for sharing this information.
Verified on OnePlus 3. Switch off Pulse Notification Light in standard settings and then the Tasker toggle can be used to switch on notifications to be controlled by Light Flow or Light Manager (or presumably Tasker itself). These then are not overridden by any inbuilt charge notifications.
The only downside is that the notification then only appear if the screen is off. I came at this wanting to dim the inbuilt charge notification with an always on night clock. But next best is that I can use a night clock with the bright charge LED completely off :good:

Excellent, glad I could help!
I've never understood charging LEDs - my phone is my alarm clock and I want it face up to snooze first thing in the morning and I definitely don't need an LED lighting up the entire room! I appreciate that others might find charging LEDs helpful, seems like this should be straightforward toggle in settings (possibly with a dimmer switch for your particular use case!)

dark/night mode

I've enabled the dark/night mode. I've found that when inside apps, the bottom navigation bar turns from black to white. In chrome, eventhough I have it set to dark mode, the title and bottom buttons are white.
Is there any way to change it to black?

Question Any way to quickly put phone on silent/vibrate

Just got the Galaxy 210 Ultra, however I'm really missing the quick silent / vibrate feature on my pixel 4 XL. It's been a while since I've been using a Samsung phone, did they implement any feature that allows you to put your phone on silent while the screen is still off?
Putting the phone face down also is not an option for me since I don't want the phone to be completely silent.

Don't know about Q and 11 but there's options in notifications and Do Not Disturb on my 10+ Pie variant... it should be there, somewhere.

I just add the tile in the quick settings

What I just found out also is you can go into accessibility then advanced settings and set up shortcuts to mute all sounds with volume up and down keys

I use the sideActions app amd set double click on the power button to change sound mode. Works great.

Question Top settings bar

Guys - on the top menu which has DND, Flashlight, etc is it possible to add anything from settings? I'd like to place the brightness setting in there (in particular if I can turn on/off ambient lighting with one click) that'll be great. Thanks

It's already there. You have to swipe down again to get the brightness settings, which presents a slider to brighten or dim the didplay, along with options to choose what shortcuts to turn things on/off that you see on the ribbon initially. I think brightness is one of them..
Maybe under device settings?
