After something to automatically put phone into either silent mode or similar each night, anyone use anything for this kind of thing?

Tasker and Llama will do that and a lot more.

To do just that and nowt else quickly and simply with the minimum of setup, then NetSchedule takes a lot of beating ... have been using it for months. I get it to put mine into Airplane mode between midnight and 6am, which helps battery life a lot.

Tried Astrid?

Love Astrid. I think I owe my last three years of pay rises to this

Doesn't let me forget all my responsibilities

Fair enough. It does have the same rating as GTasks but by 10x the amount of people. Maybe I'll give it a whirl!

I use aCar and find it perfect, it's free but I use it so much that I donated a few quid for the pro version.

Its nice to look at but misses a lot of toggles SwitchPro has (most importantly reboot!)

Pocket league story by kairosoft is now on the market... You run your own football team.

Say goodbye to the next few hours... And your battery.

Just noticed. Google Maps now has parts of Central London in 3D.

After all the mentions on this and other forums, I bought Tasker yesterday ...

OMFG - the interface could do with a user-friendliness overhaul, but Jesus H Christ that is one powerful app :eek:

i know, imagine that built into a rom as if google did it? no rights issues like with gps recently. would be nice

how is reboot an important toggle? just turn it off and back on?

I did uninstall the app for the same reason. Why should I go back.Can it do more than Llama?

So is Go Launcher the new Launcher Pro?

EDIT: Installed it, where can I get the Transparent theme from?

Robbie, I have the MPC Remote app:

It pauses on incoming. Didn't know it unpaused when the call ends. Is that a recent addition?

Lucero, does your subtitles toggle button work ok?

No, it's still missing loads of key features that I used to use on LP
