Macdroid calendar event
Probably this is the reason other automation app still popular.
MACDROID CALENDAR EVENT SOFTWARE
Well the software developers should have a look at Llama (perhaps on an older phone), how easy it is to automate a mobile, even for non programmers. Well, what AM should have are the most important profiles (see above), it should have a Tab "Last Areas" (Letzte Gebiete) which shows the last mobile cells, so that one can adjust them to home, work. Well I then made a new flow, starting with a Trigger (something with Tile) with the action (sorry German) "Lautstärke wiederherstellen", but I cannot find a Tile to trigger (start) it - what is this? With Llama it normally took me half an hour to implement my most important macros, with AM it took me a few hours to implement just a Flow which sets my "Normal Profile" (I can just start it manually :- ( ). Of course AM is much more powerful and capable than Llama, but it takes much more time, to automate your Mobile. This together with a lot of other goodies made it extremely easy, to define new "tasks", even for DAUs (I'm not a DAU, I'm a Software Engineer). Llama has predefined Profiles (in German): Normal, Laut, Lautlos, Leise (Normal, Loud, Silent, Muted) and you can define your own profiles (e.g. BUT: It's much more complicated to automate easy things like: If any calendar even t has a title with (profile silent!) in it then switch to Profile Silent and the reverse: If no calendar event has a title with (profile silent!) switch to Profile Normal. Well it was the first one, which seems to be intuitive. I've tried a lot, first of course Tasker (horrible), MacroDroid, PhoneProfiles (or so, don't know the exact name), then I came to Automagic, cause I read a great criticism in a web article. So I have to go the hard step to another profile manager (I've used my first profile manager on Symbian - the best mobile operating system ever, Microkernel, Realtime, much better Multitasking than Android, and written in pure and much faster C++ from scratch). Unfortunately Llama seems to be unusable since Oreo (Android 8.0). My name is Peter Sulzer and I have until now used Llama.
