Playful Design

Hey!

So you've chosen you like the Playful Design best!

Before we get to a list of ROMs, let's go over what playful design is, just to be sure.

When somethign is labelled playful, it usually indicates that the, in this case, UI (User Interface) is very cartoon-ey and full of features which are nice to have, but not exactly necessary. The best example is MIUI.

Here's a screenshot of my settings (I'm a huge MIUI fan - NOT FANBOY!)

As you can see, it very nicely designed and quite playful with the colours.

You can playful design in a lot of places, for example: If you've owned an Xbox 360©™®, then you'll likely remember the old dashboard.

It was nice, it was cartoon-ey and delightful to use - Unlike the new dashboard Micro-d*ck is forcing us to use.

You can find it on some games, like (And this is the moment where I can't think of any at all...) Kinect Adventures.

Or you can find it in some older programs or operating systems.

Personally, I'd put myself in this category - I'm quite childish in some ways, although I do keep a decent standard of behaviour.

For further reference, I'll add some more pictures below. See if you like any of them :)

Did you enjoy the pictures? Awesome! Here's a list of ROMs you may like: Be sure to visit the Battery and CPU post - That is where most users fail.

MIUI (v5)

Samsung TouchWiz 4

LG stock designs

SensatioN ROM (Galaxy S II only)

If you have more suggestions, PM me or let me know below, I'll be sure to add them!

[Android General] Beatsleigher:
Stock Design

If you're a person that just likes the way your phone acts, then you're a stock person.

There isn't much to go over, here.

If you're a stock person, the ROMs you're looking for get rid of the bloatware and add some performance tweaks.

Stock designs vary greatly from one another.

For example: HTC's Sense skin, looks nothing like Sammy's TouchWiz.

There is only one exception, and that is LG. LG hasn't just blunty copied Sammy's TouchWiz design, but also the feel - But that is a story I'm not going over.

What you're looking for is root and tweals - Maybe a de-odexed ROM. That is all.

But, just in case, check out the other posts and don't forget to check out the Battery and CPU post - That is where most users fail.
[Android General] Beatsleigher:
Holo Design

If you like the design of stock Android - Then you're a real die-hard.

It's cold to the touch and is purely functional.

Holo Android is based upon shades of dark blue, black and white.

There is not much to say to Holo at all.

The bright side about stock Android, is it is very fast and display/battery friendly.

To get an idea about what stock Android looks like, here are some pictures.

You'll just have to look and see if you like it :)

--- NON-HOLO THEMES (Quite playful, to be honest)

Android 1.5

Android 2.1 and 2.2

Android 2.3

Android 3.0 (Tablet-based OS only)

--- Holo-based Android ---

Android 4.0

Android 4.1/4.2

If you like what you see, you're a die-hard Android lover. Good on you, mate!

Here's a list of ROMs you may like:

Stock Android (Not rooted)

Stock Android (Rooted)

AOKP

Paranoid-Android

CyanogenMod

Other AOSP builds

Tablet and Phablet

The tablet and phablet desings are all the crave, nowadays.

Basically, it's like changing the resolution of your computer screen - Bascially making your device look bigger.

You'll have to try it out yourself to see if you like it.

Basically, using the tablet and phablet designs changes the way Android looks and feels.

If you've ever seen an Android tablet, you notice some apps, like the setitings, Gmail, etc., are split into different menus.

With a phablet, it's similar - Just on a different scale.

Here are some pictures of Paranoid Android, see if you like it:

If you like it... great!

Don't forget to check out the Battery and PCU post!

I shal carry on tomorrow - I have to use my mum's laptop, as mine died.

Please share your tasker profiles. :)

I want to share some profiles that i've been using it.

* Auto 3G On

automatically enable 3G on some apps.

* Auto Brightness

Automatically set up to the highest brightness on some apps (youtube, gallery,video player) and then return to its normal brightness after close those apps.

* Auto Gps

Turn on gps on some apps (maps,waze,foursquare) and turn the gps off when closing those apps.

* Auto Off Unpaired Bluetooth/wifi

Disable bluetooth/wifi when it is unpaired/disconnected.

* Auto Rotation

Enable auto rotation only for certain apps (youtube,games,browser) that you want.

* Battery Low/Full Alert

Change the desired tones and its volumes

* Display On/ Display Off

Switch to 3g mode when the screen is on and 2g mode when the screen is off

* Headset Plugged

Load desired apps (poweramp) when you plug in your headset.

* Locked Apps

Some apps can be lock like (gallery,whatsapp,messaging)

* Wallpaper Changer

Wallpaper can be change automatically from time to time depending on the interval that you set.

* Photo & Email Location

Automatically take photo/location then email it. It is very useful to locate the location of the theft for example.

It would be fun to see some of your profiles too..:D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
Autobrightness that only polls the sensor and adjust at power on, no dynamic adjustment, based on this:

http://androidforums.com/tasker/615585-profile-light-sensor-v2-brightness-adjust-screen.html

I also manage wifi per app, have a night reading mode triggered when I launch particular readers at a certain time of night, I'm planning some notification area toggles and I think I'm going to adopt your per app autorotation management too. That's a good idea.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
I have an all text homescreen, and while Minimalist Widgets isn't my speed anymore, I've found a lightweight tasker fueled alternative called text widget: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tampiss.tText&hl=en

So far I just use it for the date, day of the week and ram free, but it can display any tasker variable you want on a home screen, so if you have built any complex applications like todo lists found at pocketables (See my sig), you can display content from there, or from files or webscrapping or anything you've stored in a variable.

If you want Month names, see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/taskerpro/zxsyJN3X3is/gxkxXEa4eLIJ

If you want properly matched ordinals, I went with some conditionals (i.e. set %Ordinal to st if %DAYM = 1,21,31, or to nd if 2,22, or rd if 3,23, if none of those then th). Not super efficient, but not that hard either.

I might add weather next.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Shadow-Nexus:
I use tasked to manage plenty stuff on my phone

One of my favorite profiles is my school profile

When I activate 2g and its Monday through Friday from 8 to 3

All volumes go silent and the phone goes on vibrate mode

Also the pattern lock gets enabled and network related stuff gets disabled (auto sync, location services , etc)

After 3 it runs the exit task which enables 3g and triggers my normal profile

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

I also have a night mode profile which after I enable airplane mode it triggers it and simply disables all other network related stuff that doesn't disable with airplane mode

It also enables pattern lock to prevent nosey people from looking in to my phone at night

And when they fail to access my phone five times the lock screen widgets get disabled and the phone shuts off
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Virus1x:
Can you post yours fauzi?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] cenwesi:
Yes, please post your profile... i could use that 3G switching profile.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] eurochild:
can you please post some details on how this profile is setup ?

please post fauzi
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fauzi_91:
sorry, i dont know how to share the profiles. i've made a backup files but i'm not sure whether u can try it or not.. extract and put it in tasker folder then open tasker app and restore it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bruce7373:
Does anyone know how to create a profile with an either/or condition? Specifically, I have 2 networks on my LAN and is I'd like a profile to run if the phone is coming connected to either one.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
Hi

I don't think it's hard. Just make an If-condition, but two times! :)

If LAN n°1

Then go to step XX

End If

If LAN n°2

Then go to step XX'

End If

I think I'm gonna loooove this thread as I loooove this app ^^

My favorites profiles :

- Eco mode

If my battery is under 15% then the phone vibrate and asks me if I want to turn into the Eco mode through a notifications with button (yes or no) if I choose yes, than it disables the 3G, gps, auto rotate, put the light to the minimum, and turn some apps I've chosen to hibernate through the App Greenify (if you don't know, you better try it!!)

- 3G on

If 3G is on and I lock the phone, a 1 minute countdown starts and if I do not wake my phone it disables the 3G, if I do it, the countdown stops

I'll share more later :)

-From my Nexus 4-
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bruce7373:
So create a couple of variables, one for each SSID, and run the above task when triggered by WiFi Connected?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
Absolutely just create one new variable (ex : %LAN) and then two different profile. The first will assign 01 to %LAN while you're connected to 01 then the second will assign 02 to %LAN while you're connected to 02

Finally just use the task you want as I described it in my last post with

If %LAN ~ 01

etc...

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Shadow-Nexus:
May you share your 3g on profile azert

Thanks!

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] eurochild:
Yes please describe it in english when you can, thanks!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
Ok it's like

1. Wait 5 seconds

2. Affect a variable : %DELAY ~ %TIMES +55

3. Stop - If %SCREEN ~ On -

4. Wait 1 second

5. Go to step 3 - If %DELAY > %TIMES -

6. 3G Off

Let me know if you understand ;)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] vyis:
I have done the same but more on emulating Catalyst Rom feature.

1. I delay the switch to 2G if there is still high data traffic (repeatly check every 15s, only switch to 2G if less than 15KB transfer, all these can be set as i like)

2. On screen on & unlock if still on 3G (2G not switch due to active data traffic), kill task no.1

3. On screen on & unlock change to 3G if currently on 2G network

4.Change to 2G when connected to Wifi

5. Switch between 3G/2G if signal loss for more than 15s (This is kinda important to me as some buildings in my country have no 2G signal underground, so my phone will be dead until i open it)

Attach my project file for references. Remember to initiate vars value for Log (0 for profile activation logging, 1 mean have) and State2G (0 mean on 3G, 1 mean on 2G).

Also put the "tasker log" file at root of internel SD card.

Also due to data traffic calculation method, this file only applicable for 4.3 base ROM. For 4.2 ROM the file to read is at different location.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Giocarro:
Another long time Tasked user here. Keep them coming guys!

Did anyone tried to automatically enable GPS when launching Maps or Navigation? I didn't manage to make it work even if I'm rooted. The profile triggers but GPS doesn't get activated.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Shadow-Nexus:
Try using secure settings to activate GPS instead of the default option in tasker

I had this problem also and it worked with secure settings
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
I don't really understand the purpose of secure settings? Can you explain it to me?

Thanks :)

-From my Nexus 4-
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fauzi_91:
Secure setting is an app, it can be use in tasker under plugins option.. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
Sure, but what does it do?

-From my Nexus 4-
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fauzi_91:
There are many actions you can trigger using it.. Jz like gps case, in tasker the action will not work well on our device thus secure setting app is needed to control the gps as u want it.. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
Thanks, I'll give a try :)

-From my Nexus 4-
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fauzi_91:
No problem, dont forget to install secure setting helper before using it, otherwise some actions will not work.. Goodluck
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] JaylanPHNX:
Why don't you guys use Tasker App Factory extension to turn these great profiles into standalone APKs to share?

Sent from my Nexus 4 blessed by AOKP and sanctified by Faux123.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
Because the tasker app factory doesn't allow us to export the profile but only the tasks so it's a bit limited :/

My girlfriend needs to take medication every night at 8 and she wants me to remind her so I have a profile that generates a random number between 1-20 that selects 20 predefines messages and then sends the one it selected as an SMS to her at 8. I use 20 different messages so that way she doesn't catch on :P (shh)

I also have another profile that detects when I get within 30 meters of my house my phone starts talking (in a british accent) and asks if I want to turn on my computer. It opens an autovoice promt and if I say "yes" it boots up my computer user WoL (Wake on Lan).

Those are probably my most unique profiles that I thought I would share.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] HuckFinn:
Thought I should share a couple

Here are a couple I use often:

Car mode: My old Motorola Milestone (aka GSM Droid) had a nice car dock with a magnet that would trigger a car mode. Well my Nexus 4 does not have this so I use tasker to accomplish it.

Triggered: Power-Any and BT connected to my vehicle

Car Mode ON

GPS - On

WiFi -Off

Secure Settings - Keyguard disabled

Display Rotation - On

Display timout - set to 24 hours - does anyone know a better way?

Home and Work Profiles Disabled

Load App Car Home

Set all volumes to MAX

Once I disconnect power or BT

Car Mode OFF

Restore Home and Work Profiles

Display rotation off

Kill App Car Home

Kill App Waze

Kill App Torque

Save GPS coordinates to a variable

Turn off GPS

Re-enable keyguard

Restore volumes to desired level

Turn off and lock the screen - App "Screen OFF"

I then have a Find Car task that opens Google Maps and points me to where I parked.

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

Here is a quick and dirty security feature.

Triggered: Using Secure Settings if there are 2 or more failed login attempts

Action:

-Flash a notification "SECURITY VIOLATION - PICTURE UPLOADED & LOCATION TRACKED. TO AVOID THIS PHOTO BEING SENT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT RETURN THIS PHONE TO THE PROPER OWNER.

-Take Photo using front camera - automatically gets backed up to Dropbox & Google+

-Turn GPS ON

-Get Location - source NET

-Send SMS to XXXXXXXXXX "Someone has tried to unlock your phone, a photo has been stored and they are near: %LOC"

-Get Location - source GPS

-Send SMS to XXXXXXXXXX "Someone has tried to unlock your phone, here is a more precise location: %LOC"

Now I know this is not perfect or anywhere near fool proof, but it works. This would catch the less educated thief - or at least give me some evidence. It also has the benefit of catching my kids when they try to use dad's phone without asking.;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
Clever ;) But you might want to randomize the time a little bit too. A range between 7:58 and 8:02 so she doesn't notice how insanely prompt you are. That could get you caught, or worse, raise expectations about how punctual you should be in all other endeavors. I'd also worry about being right beside her at 8 when the message goes through. I didn't even see you type that! Maybe it could launch an abort sequence before sending, and send if you don't disable it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] izPanda:
Oh please excuse me. I was tired when I wrote this and I actually forgot about two very important aspects of that profile. 1) It takes the number it generated and divides it by 2 and rounds to a whole number. If its > 5 then It adds that number to 8 and if its >5 it subtracts and sends it at that time. The other part that I'm currently working on is detecting if our phones are close together then disabling it (kinda hard but working on it)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
Hi

I have a question you might answer :fingers-crossed:

I created a task that shows a notification everytime i'm connected to mobile data. But I wanted it to propose to switch between 2G/3G with two options on the notification. It is functionnal, but everytime I switch from 3G to 2G, i completely loose my mobile provider, even the communication network :/

Do you know a way to switch to 2G more softly ? Like with root or whatever ?

Thanks

Don't forget your daily reboot! I do mine around 6:30 so my alarm goes off on time (I've been having issues with phone turning off during charge overnight).

From 0630 to 0631, reboot phone. It's just a healthy practice. I'm sure there's a better way to do this, I don't have much experience with Tasker.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] diggmc:
I'm not sure if you've checked out an app called secure settings? It gives Tasker fine grain control over specific features of the phone.

I use it to toggle aeroplane mode

Just a thought...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
Actually I've thought about it and even tried it, but there isn't such a feature in the app :(

(Thanks for your reply anyway)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Giocarro:
I don't think this is possible. I use a quick-setting tile to switch from 2G to 3G and the phone loses network availability for some seconds each time I do it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
Ok I'll deal with it...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] pituca292:
Hi guys! I saw you talking about a profile that turns 3g/2g when screen is on/off, but sometime ago I searched about it and I read somewhre here on XDA that when the phone changes 2g/3g, it "restart" data connection and it spend lot of battery, so the profile don't work, do you know anything about this? Is the profile working nice?
