Hello,
My company uses a specific app to complete tasks at a set time. They are the same time periods each day. Of course sometimes these tasks don't get completed on time.
I used to be able to change time in automatic time in settings but now it doesn't allow log in when the time isn't the actual time.
Any ideas of how I could spoof the time without the app denying my sign on request?

@huskydg you are one of the only developers that I actively follow. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Hello,
I need a time tracking app. There is a lot of time trackers on Google Play and I've tried a lot of them, but in every app I missed one important feature: parallel timers for different clients and jobs.
I need:
- to define my clients, to define my jobs I do for the clients, to define projects.
- to simply choose client, project and kind of job and then start the timer
- to simply start and stop MULTIPLE timers (start and stop one timer, while second timer is still running)
- to export all data in usable form (for billing my clients)
Example of what I mean:
- My job is phone support. I am sitting at home and answering phone calls. I am payed for hours, so I need to start timer and leave it running almost all day untouched (except of lunch time).
- Because I spent most of the time by waiting for calls, I simultaneously do other jobs. I write articles, compose music and do some other work for other clients. So I need to start and stop timers according to actual work - but the "phone support timer" has to be also running. When I am - for example - writing an article and someone calls me, I need to stop "writing article timer", pick up the phone and solve customer's problem. When I drop the phone, I need to start "writing article timer"... etc...
This kind of app with parallel timers I've used on my Psion PDA back in 1998, but I can't find similar app for Android phones. Can anybody recommend me the app I am searching for? Thanks a lot.
Hoi,
i am using for nearly the same actions the App StopWatch.
On an older device i used Multi Timer PRO, but for some reasons? it isnt availabale at the Store any longer, and i didnt find my Backup.

Which StopWatch exactly? There is a lot of apps called StopWatch on Play Store, maybe hundreds. 8^)
Hoi,
its this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportstracklive.stopwatch&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcG9ydHN0cmFja2xpdmUuc3RvcHdhdGNoIl0.

TSheets Time Tracker
Check out TSheets Time Tracker (tsheets.com) you can set up multiple job codes for your clients and projects and click to start and stop each one. When you set up your account just make yourself two people (!!) - "Mr/Mrs scalex.cz Phone" and "Mr/Mrs scalex.cz Article Writer" so the clocks can run simultaneously...
Check out the free app Timesheet from LlamaLab. It can handle multiple tasks active simultaneously.

Hi
Try out with the time tracking apps from Replicon. I have been using the same from a very long time and have got cool experience with the same on my work schedules.

Good idea.
Quickbooks Time Tracking Software is really awesome
Go ahead with Quickbooks Time Tracking Software from Replicon. Its been hassle free, cloud based, designed quite impressively with UX/UI and manages to navigate well. I am sure there will not be any cool tool than this.
I have a bit of an odd request. I need a specialized timer app that: 1) begins timing as soon as it is launched, 2) launches in the background, and 3) logs the time stamps in a local device database.
This app is needed for an educational reading program to monitor changes in the amount of time a student spends reading (to see if it increases as they progress through the instructional reading program). The plan is to use Tasker to automatically launch the timer app as soon as the designated reading app (for example, Repligo) is opened on the tablet. Ideally, Tasker will then close the timer app as soon as the screen shuts off or the reading app is closed, and the stop-time will be logged in the database (seems like that part may be more difficult?).
I've looked at many timer apps, but haven't found any that quite had this functionality. I'm not sure how easy point #2 will be to achieve. Alternatively, a basic PDF reader that possesses these same capabilities would work too! I would appreciate any help that could be offered, either in directing me toward an app that will work or if you have the skill to craft the app.
Thank you in advance!
Hey guys! Now, I have a requirement to measure an third-party app's launch time and switch time on android platform.
To make the result convinced, I decide to modify the kernel of the device. I learned something about do_fork(), schedule() and knowledge about screen interrupt handler. But I still haven't found the proper way yet.
Do you have the experience on doing this? I'm looking forward to your response!
(The launch time is the period from clicking an app's icon to its completion of initialization. While the switch time is the response time of an app which was launched before and perhaps some data of the app may has been swapped out.)
I've got a question I can't find a definitive answer for anywhere online (at least that I'm aware of): is there a way to exclude specific apps from the coalescing timer function? If not, is that in the roadmap?
I ask because -- while I ADORE the feature and think it's an excellent idea all around -- it does also disrupt several apps that I don't want put on "inexact" timing. This includes apps that I haven't greenified (and don't appear on the "greenified" app list).
Tasker is the one I'm most interested in, as I have several profiles that run every 1-2 minutes, and greenify makes that a much longer period (10m, it seems).
Thanks much for any info or suggestions!
I can not help you, cuz I am new user. But could you tell me what does the coalescing timer does if I enable it?.
I am under the impression that only the wake ups of greenified apps are handled by the "coalescing timer". This is strengthened by the fact that I have only once seen the message that the wake ups have been coalesced.
What it does is, it prevents various apps waking up the device at their own sweet will, disrupting deep sleep. Instead, it allows the wakeups together as and when the device is woken up by an app. So on a single wake up, a multitude of apps are served. And the device sleeps longer.
This feature only affects periodic timers with "wake-up" capability, and it never change the period of timer but just postpone the start time of the very first occurrence of those periodic timers.
In short, it is harmless in almost any circumstances.

What about in example an email app? I have setup an specific schedule for my emails to be retrieved. This function will disrupt that? If so, any way to whitelist it?

If the schedule is at specific time, then it will not be affected. If the schedule is periodic, it will be coalesced.
At present, I have not yet found any case for a whitelist.
Hello folks,
My 12 YO would like to have a device of his own. Since the school is a hybrid, his request is getting consideration, for various reasons. I am going to hand over rooted OG Pixel XL with Lineage OS to him.
While I trust how my 12 YO would use the device, I still would like to keep everything in check to be absolutely certain. According to fellow parents, this is the age things can go out of hand pretty quickly. I would like to enable the following constraints. He has agreed to the constraints. I do not have Tasker but I have purchased MacroDroid.
- I would like to know which apps he uses and how long. I am esp. worried about the extensive use of YouTube.
- He is barred from social media completely but I would still like to prevent him from installing any apps without my permission.
- I would like to create a profile that he will be able to use only specific apps during school hours (so no games during school hours).
- I would like to have a constant location of the device.
- I would like an app that would take random screenshots.
- Is there any app with a one-time fee that will do all of the above (no subscription model).
- Those parents who have been through this phase, do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you for all suggestions.
(P.S. - Pls do not comment on the thread if your answer is, you should not give the phone to your child for whatever reason.)
