Have you tried Settings > Sounds > Quiet Hours? There are a number of options for setting the time you want your tablet quiet and which notifications and sounds are disabled.

EDIT: Oops, it appears that Quiet Hours is a CyanogenMod feature.

What about something like Tasker, or is that a lot more convoluted than using something like Timerrific?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Putts:
Tasker will certainly get the job done, although I don't think it's nearly as user-friendly as Timerrific, plus it's about $7 last I checked. Unless you need something like GPS-sensitive profiles, Tasker is overkill for what you need.

OK got the Karbonn A15 yesterday dubbed as a Ninja Killer by some :) was able to root it today

here are the steps

the driver files are included on the phone internal card called pcdrivers.zip. you can connect the usb mount the internal usb storage and copy the file to your pc. if you face any problems you can download the file from here

1. Enable USB Debugging - Under SETTINGS - DEVELOPER OPTIONS

2. Install the drivers for the phone - copy drivers from your phone internal card or download from here

3. download "Android Root Unlock" from sourceforge.net and extract it to a folder on your harddisk

4. navigate to the above folder and run the batch file ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat

the batch file will reboot your phone a couple of times and will wait with a message "Press Any Key to continue"

IMP NOTE : if you pc is saying "PRESS ANY KEY" note if your phone is on or rebooting....

if it is Rebooting, wait for it to start before pressing a key

5. After a couple of boots the phone will be rooted

6. verify that the Root is complete by observing a "Superuser" shortcut in the application list

good luck

RAM=512

ROM=512 ?

the above listing says FM =No however there is a preinstalled FM app so FM must be present - never use it so not checked - will check later

the G- Sensor is off by a lot on my piece - orientation works (can it be calibrated ?)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] satan89:
1. Not necessary if you don't intended to tweak system files, gain system access permission,

2. All Android devices are rootable, but usually by default don't have root access

3. Yes warranty voided while rooting but you can unroot again

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kartikoli:
so its a go for me ... thanks brother

even karbonn a9+ is available for 7.2k

i was thinking to go between either of 2 but decided to save some money and settle for A15 as i dont play much games on mobile[totally opposite in case of PC] so dont need dual core device

just wanted to know smoothness and basic phone usage like volume of earphone or during the calls , messaging etc...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntstatic:
smoothness of the phone is excellent, did not find any lag while operating the phone, or while testing using Temple Run. the movement is very smooth. volume is good no problem there.

the only thing that is worth mentioning is that the Gravity sensor is off in my phone - meaning if i keep the phone on a flat surface it detects that the phone is leaning to the left and a little top. is this a calibratable thing in the settings or such ?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 032145:
karbonn a15

anybody can guide how to install CWM recovery on the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntstatic:
micromax A87 and Karbonn A15 are similar however there are a few points where Karbonn A15 comes out stronger

RAM, 388 vs 256

Internal card - karbonn has around 2.5 gb

OS - ICS vs Gingerbread

if you are able to scrap it without much damerage ;), i think A15 would be a good idea

i do not know how the threads are organized. what ever is the norm i just found a rooting thread and created a new one on the same sub forum :)

i dont mind if you people use this thead itself.

CWM is the next step

i am a newbie to android, still have done much googling since yesterday

can someone let me know how i can backup the stock rom and recovery before we start experimenting with CWM.

(well i was able to do a rom dump but didnt get a recovery.img file - which is what i would like to backup first )
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prasad12ka4:
Bit correction

I have used MMX A87 for a Month

1 Custom ROM came out

Biggest flaw

RAM is not 256 MB

Its only 160 MB

Out of which we get 50 MB

Even the music player crashes on standby

Internal Memory is 130 MB

Best part where A87 wins is the Display

Its awesome

233 dpi and the crispness is magnificent

But its useless if nothing works :(

Battery Backup was 2.5 Days without Edge

I have switched

Now I am on Karbonn A15 :D

Not much Damage got a good price for A87

One Big query

How to move apps to SD ?

All apps

Some go to the internal memory 2 GB one
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RootedRishabh:

TRY to use MMX A87 CWM because both phones have the same processor(i think so) and the screen size and the resolution is also the same

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prasad12ka4:

Firstly , I would like to know "why you want to root??"

There is no visible flaw in this handset that you need to root.

Not any stupid stock applications nor is it customized OS, its smooth.

Boot time is good and touch too.

It has update upton, might get JB update (not sure or never) but the current OS and UI rocks.

Dont root unless you know what you want and what you do,

I am from Mumbai and very few service stations here.

Well came across this strange issue.

When I installed MX player 720 p videos HD ones in .avi format played flawless with this HW+ codec of Mx player.

But it crashed my

settings>sound section

whenever I went there it force stopped.

Factory reset was only solution I had :(

Has anyone else experienced it?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntstatic:
no ! do not have that problem

installed MX player

default settings play regular 480 videos properly, some higher resolution play jerkily

Settings - Decoder - Use h/w turned on, Local ON, 10bit on

not much advantage - 720 vids some still jerky - some not opening altogether - black screen remain - taking too long Wait, stop , report

Software Decoder - on, s/w audio on - now the thing is very smooth, better audio - almost perfect, few vids are still jerky - maybe too high a bitrate (will look in to these vids later about y)

Settings -Sound : opens flawlessly - no problem

you should reinstall and verify - maybe the problem was somewhere else

and yes the vids play fine - other than the 'crazy kiya re' which had "unsupported audio" and played a little jerkyli (pun intended)

EDIT - the next call gave me a 'DSP manager Stopped responding' - i am still not sure what dsp manager does but will reboot and check thoroughly later - for the moment audio settings still work ok
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntstatic:
You are quite correct - there is hardly any flaw in the device as it is. normally i am hardly intrested in new roms. but i am a big fan of ClockWorkMod as i am of norton ghost on my pc. having a backup of the whole system makes me easy to revert back to a known state with optimized setting in a few minutes.(same for my pc) once i have a backup i am free to install any crap and be sure that if it screws up my system or phone i can revert back in a few clicks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prasad12ka4:
DSP manager is for Music player and audio settings

Its is present in all Cynogen Mods

Btw you can try this

Go in settings> Sound > Music Effects > select Music FX

Then see it it crashes??

Also

720p video played well in MX player, it has in .avi format not Mp4

hence the clarity sucked big time

normally the recovery image is of size 4~5mb for mmx A52 its around 5.16MB so recover the files which are of same size
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntstatic:
i have tried running romdump which should have created a recovery.img but it does not. i guess it is because mtd entries are not present.

i am guessing the recovery as partition 8 mmcblkp8 however i am not sure.

would creating a dump of all the partittions effectively backup the state of the phone ?

if so is there any way of putting it back to the phone if there is any problem ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prasad12ka4:
Best way out is we need to find which mobile clone this is?

Thats what we did for every karbonn mobile

A9, A7 , A5

So building CWM, ROMS was extremely easy, this way getting custom recovery was easy too.

you can use superoneclick or unlockroot to unroot the mobile - just remove su and superuser to effectively unroot it - normally the service centers hardly care if the devices are rooted or not, you are right however it is always better to remove the su and supervisor.apk before submitting the phones

Thx in advance:):):)

The Service center guys arnt so bright here to understand what ROOT is.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ntstatic:
moving ahead in this direction i dumped the two partitions which are most suspect partition 8 and partition 16

i am including the dumps here - partition 8 and here is partition 16 for people who have more experience than me

i am pretty sure that these are the two missing partitions from the dump, the recovery and the boot

what makes me so sure is that the micromax a87 stock rom has both the Boot and the Recovery partition of exactly the same size - 10485760 bytes. (which we are assuming has similar structure to karbonn a15)

by checking the hex dump of the three files it is further intresting to note that the CWM from the mmx a87 occupies only around 1/3rd of the whole dump around 3.5 to 4 mb. while there is apparenty code, almost to the full extent in both the partitions 8 and 16 dumped from Karbonn A15.

in case of the boot partition it may be because the animation sequence of karbonn is quite detailed and long so maybe the animation sequence takes up more space. however y both the partition s are almost fully occupied, beats me.

can someone experienced in these matters and partition of linux or android look at the partition table and let us know which is most likely to be the recovery.

as i have mentioned earlier partition 19 is most likely the 2.7gb sdcard - if that is so what is partition 0 which seems to be around 3.7gb - of course i shouldnt but do i suspect that the phone has more memory than reported. i dont think that should be the case - y would the supplier hide an advantage ???!!

i am really a little confused now ....

i was hoping that if i uploaded the stock recovery and another partition to the online builder for clockwork mode one of them would fail

however both generated results with ..... NO CHANGE and none of them was rejected

here are the results if anyone is intrested and can give some feedback

the result for partition 8

and

the result for partition 16

so i dont know which of the two is the recovery :o
