    Dark colors for night-time

    Is there any way to have ALL apps apply dark theme for night, instead some doing so, and some not? At night, I'm constantly flipping color inversion on & off, as i change app. As well as trying other things, like extra dim. Mainly my issue is when an app's colors are white or similar...

    Assistant menu

    On my Android 14 phone, i can tap the Accessibility button (situated at right of navigation bar, below keyboard), which has the "Assistant menu" shortcut, which enables/disables the Assistant menu. I currently use it just for taking screenshots, as it's easier than fumbling around with pressing...

    Compressing files to maintain creation dates

    By compressing a folder of files, into a .7z, i can preserve the creation dates, when extracted on pc (extracted using IZArc). I haven't been able to preserve dates of folders yet, only files. But compressing files takes an ETERNITY (eg 10 mins for 100 images, and i won't even bother with...

What i want to do is have a shortcut on a home screen on android, and when i tap it, it checks if wi-fi is on, and if it isn't then enables wi-fi (& later maybe check if...

    String length

    I have (finally) created an action block to easily count the number of characters in a string. Is there any other ways to do this? Just interested. It works fine (for my small needs). I'm unsure if I should clear the array at end. Do local action block variables stay in memory after exiting...

    I'm not sure why this doesn't work. Got "Use Helper App" ticked. I can set the values, but the actual ringer state is not changed. When i the change actual ringer state via quick setting, i can read that the value has changed.

    What i would like to do is to send an intent/message to eg Clock app, to cancel all alarms that keep repeating forever. As occasionally i "drop everything" & i go to bed, without dismissing all recurring alarms from notification panel. This macro will run every day at eg 1 am. Is this possible...

    detecting heads up notifications

    I've been trying for months to detect & cancel specific heads-up notifications. Haven't had much success. For example, one app posts a HUN, but it's always unexpected & can intercept my taps by accident. Ideally i'd want at least a bit of forewarning (eg by reading notifications in...

    flight mode workaround

    It seems (for unknown reasons) flight mode does not work correctly on my phone. It appears to be always disabled (as can still do TXTs & calls when it shows as enabled, or at least very often it does). Most of the time the flight mode quick setting is 1/2 blue (dimmer blue). What i would like...

    Randomly skipping & repeating actions

    Anyone else experience this? I'm unable to see what is causing it, so i'm calling it "random". I'm having to use "babysitting" code to deal with it. Eg if macro is about to exit, i show an If Confirm, so that i can ignore it, unless i actually DID cancel macro (in which case i select "Yes" &...

    Open app without relaunching it

    I would like to open an app within macrodroid, just like when i tap the app icon in apps drawer, or on home screen. That is, when i use Launch Application, or Launch Shortcut, the app (notes app) is relaunched, and i lose any edits i have done. But when i tap the app drawer icon, the app comes...

    Speed up macro editor

    I have a large macro. When editing it's always very slow & jerky. It takes about 10 seconds to load. When keyboard goes away, i see where keyboard was for a second or so, before it is "painted". And if a macro say invokes a dialog while editing this large macro, it is noticeably slow to run. I...
