* INTRO
Llama uses phone masts to determine your location, so that you can change your ringer, vibrate and ringtones depending on where you are as well as the time of day. Llama provides you with sound profiles so you can quickly switch between quiet, loud, silent and normal sound settings. You can set your family, wife and children to ring even if your phone is set to silent! You can create events and home screen shortcuts to manage your sound profiles and more:
-Silence your phone at work
-Turn your Bluetooth on ready to connect your headset for a morning run
-Set your phone quiet when it's late at night and you haven't gone out
-Start the music player when a headset is connected
Llama can also do:
4G
APN
Accounts Sync
Airplane Mode
Bluetooth
Car mode
GPS (before Android 2.3 only or Cyanogenmod)
Haptic Feedback
Kill Applications (also force-kill with root privileges)
Play, pause and other media buttons
Mobile Data (before Android 2.3 only)
Reboot
Run apps
Run shortcuts
Screen brightness
Screen lock PIN/password
Set Llama variables
Speakerphone
Screen on and off
Screen timeout
USB storage
Vibrate
Wallpaper
Wifi
Wifi hotspot

Create events based off:
Airplane mode
Battery level
Bluetooth devices
Calendar events
Car mode
Charging
Day of the week
Current locations
Headset
Llama variable
Music playback (stock Android only, requires third party developer support)
Phone start up and shut down
Screen on and off
Time of day
Wifi networks
NOTE: Since GPS is not used, the location tracking is limited to the number of phone masts in your area. This will work best if you live in a populated area. If your home and work are covered by the same phone masts, you can try using the experimental Wifi-based location tracking. If that still doesn't work, you can remove the enter/exit conditions to make time-based profiles.

* COMMENT RESPONSES/RANTS
I can't reply directly to your comments! If you vote 1 star, please say why, otherwise I can't fix it. Please email me about any questions, bugs and suggestions!
- Jelly Bean DOES NOT have a system volume anymore! Don't expect Llama to change something that doesn't exist! Blame Google.
- If it Force Closes, please email me the /sdcard/Llama/LlamaLog.txt
- Don't blame Llama for the lack of your operator's phone masts in your area. You can still use Llama with the experimental location methods, or time-based events
****
* PERMISSIONS
-Read your calendar (aka 'Your personal information') for any calendar conditions you set up
-A bug/feature of Android means Llama also has to have the write calendar permission, but it doesn't actually write anything nor send invite emails
-Your accounts so it can run an account sync if your events say so
-Write to your SD card to import/export your area, events and profiles, and to write error logs
-Call-state and read contacts to let you choose which of your contacts can still ring even when silent
-Llama DOES NOT have internet permission. Your data isn't going anywhere
****
* UNINSTALLING
-If you've used screen off or screen password actions, go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators, untick Llama from the list, then uninstall

Just what I needed. I don't usually review apps. But this one is deserving. My mobile operator plans to reduce free mobile data from 12gb to 2gb. Hence my days of virtually unlimited mobile data are at an end. Onavo was tracking my usage at over 2gb cos my mobile data is on even at home where there is wifi. Now I keep forgetting to switch over mobile to wifi when I get home, so I was looking for something to do it automatically for me. Llama was the answer. Very accurate here in Singapore where I live.

This absolutely rocks!! Really wanted phone to enforce lock code when out and about, but not at home, which is easy peasy with this :-)

Best app i own Awesome app. Extremely adaptable, fully functional and very well written. This is a must have app. It actually makes your smart phone 'smart'. I have fully customised it, so my phone knows exactly what it should be doing where ever it is. Have donated again. Thanks Dev

Looks promising But my battery seems to be draining much faster than normal. I've tried my profiles but this seems to be more customizable & completely free. I'll have to observe the battery drain more closely & change the rating if it's not the case.

Easy to use, really powerful, but sometimes buggy. Still feel better off having it even with the bugs than not having it at all!
