MyProfiles vs Llama

It can change lots of settings on your phone, for example you can use MyProfiles to put the phone on silent at the times in the week or locations you shouldn't be disturbed. You can set an exception group from your Android contacts so that important people can still reach you. You can use it to put your phone into airplane mode overnight to save batteries, or when you have a meeting scheduled in your calendar.

Profiles can be activated based on a specific location, calendar event, battery status, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, screen, etc.

The default profiles available are normal, sleep, outdoor, online, offline and driving. Profiles control notifications, display settings, wireless settings, general settings, and launching/closing application settings (just to name a few).

Llama's core feature is an easy to understand and use Events system. Events consist of Actions that trigger based on Conditions. You can combine this system with the Area and Profile systems to automatically adjust how your phone behaves in certain situations.

Conditions include:

• Connecting / disconnecting a Bluetooth device
• Entering / exiting Car Mode
• Charging / unplugged
• Day of the Week
• Entering / leaving / being in / not being in an Area
• Music starts / stops
• At a certain time interval

Actions include:

• Adjusting brightness
• Adjusting music volume
• Changing profile
• Killing an app
• Rebooting
• Placing a notification
• Running an app
• Turn account synchronization on / off
• Turn Airplane Mode on / off
• Turn mobile data on / off
• Turn GPS on / off
• Turn screen lock on / off
• Turn Wi-Fi on / off

The app is free, but you can opt to support the developer by purchasing a donation app for $0.99.

Profiles are a quick way to change your phone's behavior. You can adjust settings such as ringtone and notification volume and sound, music, media, alarm and in-call volume, choose between ring / vibrate / silent modes, among many more options.

Llama is capable of triggering when around NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled devices.

Unlike a few other automation apps, Llama doesn't use a data connection so it will not cost to use.

To teach Llama your current position, go to the Areas tab and long-press your current position, then choose Start Learning Area. The app will now and in the future identify that area based on cell towers in the location. The longer you stay within that area the first time you set it to learn, the better Llama will be able to identify that place.

You can also manually add or remove certain cell towers to areas.
