If I'm not mistaken, the default DND mode is set to Alarm Only. Once you change to a different mode, the next time you enable DND it will default to the last selected mode.
On Xperias, you can enable DND by VOL DOWN or quick settings. The system will give you a choice of modes and duration time.
There's also an option to set DND automatically via rules, which can be found in sound settings.
This is all I know regarding DND.
I want to use a widget on the home screen to quickly toggle sound modes: Normal, Vibrate, Silent. There are many apps on the Play store which can do so.
However, after Lollipop, Silent mode is actually Priority Mode, and in Marshmallow it's Do Not Disturb.
The problem is, toggling to DND via the widget seemingly always defaults to Alarm Only regardless of the last selected mode described above.
My question: Is there any way to change the default mode for DND so that the widget can toggle to DND Priority Only mode instead of Alarm Only mode?
My phone is rooted, so I'm open to root methods of achieving the desired result if necessary.
If it requires an app to control, are there any that exists which can do what I want?
Thanks!

I use the Automatic Profile a lot but occasionally have to manually switch to silent or vibrate using the various toggles found on most roms. The problem is that when I toggle on vibrate etc from the automatic profile and then toggle off again, it returns you to the normal profile rather than to automatic. Does anyone know of a switch that can turn automatic profile on/off in the same way as the many vibrate amd silent switches? I know I can do it through the settings menu but a toggle switch or shortcut would be nice.
I have a very simple profile that puts my phone into silent mode on certain
days at certain times. Functionally, this Tasker profile works fine
but I noticed that the icons are not displayed in my notification
bar. I can go into the Sound settings and verify that my phone is
indeed in silent mode and vibrate is set to "vibrate only in silent". Any ideas?
As you knew, on 3.5.x we cannot lower the system volume to 0 or vib, this is annoying. It broke my Tasker automation tasks.
I found out and tested this workaround for a week and it seems solves my problem. Hope it can help you, too.
To set to vibrate even on Ring mode:
- Go to Alert slider settings, enable Ring
- Install AutomateIt
- Create a task (screenshot) (Action: silent mode)
- Done, you can set an automatic trigger for it when you go to work/school, or put a widget on your home screen to trigger it whenever you want.
To escape from vibrate on Ring mode:
- Just press vol up key
OR
- Using Tasker to automate it
FAQ:
[?] Why have to use 2 automation apps?
- Because Tasker cannot do the first, AutomateIt cannot do the second one and vice versa (or maybe I don't know how to setup yet)
After getting my op3t I was quite disappointed when I saw that you couldn't have silent-vibration-normal modes on the slider. Neither you can hold the down volume button to get to vibration mode.
I tried many apps that tried to modify the slider setting but none of them really worked. But finally I came across this.
This app won't substitute dnd for vibration mode but it will give you fast and easy access to vibration mode. Just download it and set the quick setting tile within the first 5.
In the screenshot you will be able to see there is the vibration mode symbol. That is the tile I'm talking about. You only need to press it once to get into vibration mode. And to get volume again you only need to press the volume up button.
But it gets better. Even if you can get to silent mode from the tile. When the slider is on the silent position this title will change to silent and won't change even if you press it.

It works very very great. Nice app.
I use Power Toggles.
Hello
I reinstalled my phone. Exactly same as before. Resurrection Remix 6.2. There is one thing I can't set up anymore.
In the status bar, there is an icon to toggle to enable / disable 'do not disturb'. Either it's on or off. Before I had a 3rd option. Do not disturb, except calls. Now, I can't use three profiles. Only two.
I'm sure someone has an suggestion how to set it up correctly.
Again:
Profile 1: Do not disturb (except alarms)
Profile 2: disable 'do not disturb'
Profile 3: do not disturb but calls
I was able to click the icon two times to change the profiles.
Now, if I want activate Profile 3 I have to pull down the icon to enter the settings.
I barely remember that I somewhere changed what the phone understands as high priority. And suddenly a 3rd. type of the icon appeared. But now, I can't reproduce it. Even though it must be possible since I installed the same OS.
nobody?
