    Google’s SMS/Call Log restrictions –possible “work around” for auto reply apps

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 09:48 AM PDT

    With the latest Google's SMS/Call Log restrictions, all SMS autoresponders (auto reply apps) were removed from the Play store on March 9, 2019. Even although Tasker as a "Task Automation" apps was exempted from these restrictions, all our attempts to go on this case were rejected. (we had 17 different auto reply apps) "You may only request permissions that are necessary to implement critical current features or services in your application" Unlike Tasker for our apps this is CORE functionality and not additional service and anyway it was rejected

    Are somebody have different experience with Google?

    Anyway, we see no other ways except server side service, distribution outside of Google Play and finally using Android notification API (but it will only work with apps (messengers) that support reply in their notification.) In addition, it will not work with phone calls. We have started with Auto Reply for WhatsApp app with more than 20 different features https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lemi.autoreplyforwamessage automatic reply with text message to incoming WhatsApp messages when you are busy, away, in a meeting, in school, on vacation, on leave, out of office. And also while you are driving, watching a movie, sleeping, or just when you would prefer not to be disturbed.

    Will be glad to hear you thoughts about a) possible solutions b) app itself (this is 7 days full-featured trial) Thank you in advance.

    How have you automated your phone?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2019 04:57 PM PDT

    I'm not using Trigger to its full potential. How have you automated processes on your phone using Trigger, Tasker, Automate, etc.?

    App that allows a "motion" effect in still images?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 07:07 AM PDT

    I'm looking for an app that I saw on an older Sam Beckman Top apps video, but I can't find it now. It allowed you to basically take a still image and apply motion to it, like make a waterfall move or things like that.

    Does anyone know what the app is, or one that can do the same thing?

    Thank you!

    [DEV] Microtasks: notifications as notes - todo list at a glance (codes giveaway)

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 12:36 AM PDT

    Hey!

    Microtasks aims to be a simple but effective to-do / notes manager:

    • Notes always visible as notifications, cannot be swiped accidentally
    • Schedule notes to appear at specific time, repeated scheduling supported (daily / weekly / monthly)
    • Add / dismiss notes from the notifications, no need to launch the app
    • Dark theme!

    It's quite simple but this was by design. Let me know for any feedback!

    Give it a try (codes to remove all ads!)

    [No root] Is there an app that displays the device orientation angle on top of any app? (Transparent display)

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 10:44 AM PDT

    I know that Open Camera has the feature to show the device orientation angle when you use this particular app for making pics, but I also want to display device angle when I take pictures with my default Samsung Camera.

    Any suggestions?

    App that disables reverse landscape rotation

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 06:08 AM PDT

    I've been using AutoRotation Control for years to disable reverse landscape rotation (rotate right) for reading in bed, but it can't seem to stay active under Pie, even with it set not to be optimised. Does anyone know of any alternatives? It's just reverse landscape I want to disable, while allowing other rotations. Galaxy Note 8.

    Yandex browser extension help

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 07:35 AM PDT

    I've been waiting to have a good ad block in my browser and tried Yandex extensions. AdGaurd, Adblock and uBlock extensions from the chrome web store returns a compatibility error. I tried this on desktop mode as well. Load unpacking in developer mode under extensions doesn't work either (manifest.json reading error) :/ you guys know any fix?

    Thanks in advance <3

    Is it possible to backup "backup disallowed" apps without root?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 12:28 AM PDT

    Why should Helium care that devs set a single flag to block backups? I'm trying to migrate from my old sony phone to a blackberry dtek50 and if you don't know, it's literally impossible to root that phone whatsoever because of all the security blackberry's thrown into it, so titanium backup or anything else that requires root is literally, irrevocably out of question.

    Twitter client for viewing images

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 04:08 AM PDT

    hey guys

    I use Twitter purely for following artists, and only ever look at images as I don't care about people's thoughts.

    But I'm having issues finding an app which excels in this. I've tried Twidere but it only lets me view the last ten or so images on a profile, Owly doesn't seem to have anyway to view just the images on a profile, and the Twitter app just sucks.

    Any suggestions for a good alternative?

    App for seing ALL activity and usage? I am talking like sensors, cameras, microphones?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 09:43 AM PDT

    I signed into my work email on my phone and it made itself a device admin, I have already removed it but I am now skeptical if my work has access to my phone. Any recommendations how I could check? It is a godaddy hosted email, android s10 on a business phone through the same company. The reason this came up is I am consolidating both phones into one.

    Texting app for verification on Ticketmaster?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2019 08:05 AM PDT

    There a few concerts I am looking to attend this summer and I was hoping to get the best seats possible. To try and get them at face value I wanted to create a few ticket master accounts and have my computers, tablets and cell phone logged in to try and grab the seats the minute they are released.

    The only issue is that ticketmaster needs a text verification for all new accounts, and I've tried google voice and my work VoIP number both come back saying "the number you are trying to use is not supported". Seems they can tell its not a "legit cellphone " number. Don't know if its even possible, but before I went to my local wallymart and picked up a few burner phones I wanted to see if anyone knows an app that could be used as a go around.

    Summary- Need and app that can generate a telephone number to receive text messages for verification purposed on ticketmaster.com

    TIA!

    Is there an app that you can press a button when you wake up, and receive reminders at a custom gap? such as 2 hours later, then 5, 4, etc

    Posted: 02 Apr 2019 09:55 PM PDT

    I'm basically trying to make something that no matter what time I wake up in the morning, I can track when I should be eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I just need some reminders of some form to come up after a customizeable time. I have tasker and I'm an advanced user so I could do something there.

    Is there reliable way to transfer data without internet connection?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2019 11:41 PM PDT

    Ok, so I've tried a few ways:

    1. USB. Ever since android no longer support mass storage mode in favor for MTP, file transfer is painfully long, phone storage is slow to load, and you can't edit/open files straight from the phone's storage without waiting for some good chunks of time.

    2. Bluetooth. Fine for small files, a pain for big files or in large quanitity. Also, some PCs (including my laptop) doesn't have bluetooth.

    3. SHAREit. It's basically adware at this point, so many useless feature crammed into what was once a solid offline and wireless file transfer app.

    4. Portal by Pushbullet. Reliable but requires same wi-fi with internet. Also, you can't send stuff from phone to PC, only receive.

    5. Xender. Also requires internet, but I actually haven't tested the app intensively.

    6. EasyJoin. Sometimes work, sometimes don't, sometimes the connection is lost.

    7. SilFer. Same with EasyJoin, sometimes work, sometimes don't. I wonder if it's something I did wrong.

    8. Send Anywhere. Very reliable over long distances, provide that both parties (sender and receiver) have internet connection.

    9. TrebleShot. I think it's only phone-to-phone transfer, with desktop version on the works.

    why is it so hard to find a reliable file transfer method? just something to transfer files from PC to android and vice versa without internet connection...
