Ringer profiles incl. profile selection triggers
Posted: 07 Jan 2017 22:16
Ever since I've entered the Smart Phone / Android world, I always missed the convenient profiles of the Nokia / Symbian world which enabled me to easily toggle between various ringer and notification settings.
In the beginning I discovered the Llama app which allowed me to continue using profiles. But Llama even gave me the opportunity to automatically trigger these profiles based on various events (locations, time, WiFi networks, etc.). Sadly Llama became pretty inactive and newer Android versions restricted Llama's abilities more and more. So I searched for alternatives and stumbled over Automagic.
Wow what a catch! I really, really love this App! The workflow approach is so brilliant! Find my profiles attached.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE:
"Ringer Profile Triggers": Enter your private and work WiFi networks in the conditions and adapt the time triggers to your needs.
"Silence during meetings": Select your work calendar in the initial trigger of the flow and in the condition.
HOW TO START IT:
After importing it simply enable all flows. Then use your hardware volume buttons to trigger one of the flows.
After restarting your phone or stopping and starting Automagic it should be initialized automatically.
HOW TO USE IT:
To change the profiles you can either use the hardware volume buttons or you can tab on the profile notification in the status bar. After tabbing it a profile selection input menu appears.
You can also drag the notification downwards to access the action buttons to quickly toggle to profiles.
