Nova is nice. What icon pack are you using?

Also check out Tasker. It's amazing.

I'm using Cryten. So much pastel. So clean. So circular. It's nice, and has a bunch of other options for things. I'll move on from it eventually but right now I'm feeling it.

Oooooh. Never heard of Tasker, but it seems like it would pair nicely with Nova. What do you use it for?

All sorts of shit. If my phone is on silent, and my mom calls me twice, then it'll switch to rumble on the second call. It'll switch to full sound on the third - because obviously the call is urgent. Right? Right mom? You didn't call me three times in a row to tell me to wear my boots, right?

I actually think I stole that from Klein.

When I plug my phone into a wall, it's screen dims, wifi and 3g turn off, and the screen turns off faster. Features return when I unplug.

When I'm on my way home, I have a button I can press that let's my sis (who is usually messaging me) know that I'm mid-commute.

Then, when my phone detects my apartment wifi, she get's a message that I'm back home and can begin messaging me again. I also narrowed this down to only work on specific days and times.

A fun one is to just change my phone's ringtone with every new call.

The OH SHIT alarm - if my phone is face down, and the screen is off, 30 minutes before class starts, trigger an alarm. There is a 95% chance that I have been oversleeping and am about to pay the iron price.

When I'm not on home wifi, have my passlock enabled. When I'm at home, leave it unlocked.

Just that last one would be worth it for me. I didn't like IFTTT because it couldn't do shit.

edit: damn this much better.
