Overview
Tasker is an application for Android which performs Tasks (sets of Actions) based on Contexts (application, time, date, location, event, gesture) in user-defined Profiles, or in clickable or timer home screen widgets.
Most of these profiles can be found at the main Tasker wiki, I have modified them to suit my needs. I recommend you do the same.
