Help How Can I Change Multiple Settings At Once?

Hello, I am new to this forums, and was wanting to know if there was a way I could be able to change my phone settings with a press of a button or something like a settings profile change type thing. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone from Verizon on version 6.0.1, non-rooted due to rooting would void the warranty. I was wanting a thing where I can start my day with sound completely off and vibrations off while maybe using certain apps as default (like using Message+ from Verizon or Messages from Samsung), and then having those settings change all with one press of a setting or button to make sound and vibration and default app changes later in the day. Is this possible with a current app out there, rooted or non-rooted would be any help, but I have done research on this for a while and could not find anything on this except rooting and having multiple users from a payed app for under $3. Thanks in advanced.
 
yup,
you need to invest in MacroDroid.

I have a lot of macros set up to preset volume levels depending on the screen status, time of day ( 10 PM to when I wake up, it is dead as a stone ).

I preset the Bluetooth volume to match my Blue Parrott trucker's headset.

If you are interested, I will take the time to write them out for you.

I have macros that turn off DATA and WiFi ( on 4.4.4 ) with my Note 4 ( rooted )
On my two S5 phones, I manually turn off DATA and the macro then controls the WiFi only because VZW now has MM on our phones enforced, they don't allow us any choice in that matter

I have a macro that will log all of the cell phone towers as I pass them by. just a geek thing.

I have one that monitors for any SMS message with the content "whereareyou" and it turns on the GPS and sends a reply back to whomever made that request.

I have one that monitors for my SPOT tracking locator and then tells me vocally that the SPOT transponder is working

I have one that notes that the screen has been unlocked and it sets the volume levels for everything that is possible. ( I have bad ears )

let me know how much detail you need, or you can just look at their included Templates and figure it out for yourself.....

Rooted or non-rooted? I don't know anything about editing my phone, but I know a little on computers.
 
I use MacroDroid on both rooted and non-rooted.

in the USA?
I am retired, and can talk with you.

I think I'll just play around with it first, but I might be interested in some of your macros in the future. So far all I wanted was to be able to switch a default app and change sound settings, and maybe change what apps are administrator... who knows. I read the free version only lets you have 5, but that's enough for me so far. Thanks for your help.
