Android App requests / Looking for an app that does X - thread

Anyone still using Llama? I had it before, but it bothered me for some reason - but I'm looking for something like that (no root) again to manage settings based on location, etc.
 
****e. I found Llama to be more user friendly. Those flows seems intuitive, but the really weren't. Couldn't get the fsckers to loop properly. They would run a couple of times, then just stop, and you'd have to start them again.
Llama is an awesome app, use it everyday(running things in the background, switching wifi off when not home etc), automate you need a degree in something to understand whats going on, probably just need a few pointers but as it stands when you first use it it's not easy to know where to start.
 
Hi Guys,

Does anyone know of an app/way to stream audio/music from your phone to your PC?

You might be able do it via Bluetooth, but I'm struggling to imagine a scenario where you could ever want to stream music from a phone to a PC. Either copy the music across or login to the streaming service on the PC.

Hi Bryn, thanks for the reply.

Music is not my main concern but it would be nice to be able to play MixRadio through my headphones without plugging them into my phone. The main reason is answer calls over my headphones. It is a constant hasstle to plug my headphones in my PC for youtube and then in my phone for calls and music.

If you are rooted you can use AirAudio. You would need something that supports DLNA or Airplay on the PC ... I stream to Kodi/XBMC

One option might be to load this onto your phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vnd.wifiaudio&hl=en and this onto your pc http://ajeetv.info/wifiaudio/ it basically turns your phone into a wireless speaker for your PC - so leave your headphones plugged into your phone..

Maybe give Vysor a try. It's a Chrome desktop app that allows you to control an Android phone. Root isn't required. You just plug the phone in to a PC with USB debugging enabled. It's made by ClockworkMod - just search for it on the Chrome web store.
 
Any apps to disable a lockscreen based on whether a specific WiFi network is connected (I don't like the stock implementation of bluetooth/location). And as a bonus, any apps that can do this when the lockscreen is set to be the fingerprint reader?

If rooted, tasker and secure settings.
 
No lock home app, needs Xposed framework which needs root. I use it, works like a charm, can apparently also work with fingerprint reader lock.

Pretty much no solution that can do that will be possible without being rooted.

You can also look at the app automate, I'm sure it may have that capability, if you manage to do it with that app please ever us know.
 
What is everyone using for NFC?

I find Trigger with the Tag Re-use plugin works a treat for repurposing old Gautrain cards. I also use the Trigger Lock-Screen plugin which is a bonus.

However, this works seamlessly on the Note3 but is a bit buggy on the P7, as in it calls up the switcher screen when the contact is made, and you must select the Trigger option.

What to use? Nothing else seems to re-write the tags properly.
