There is no alternative. No other app comes close to the power and functionality of Tasker.

I couldn't get Tasker to work on my phone and it is $9.9. Way too expensive for something that doesn't work.

I tried this app for a week and it slowed down my Nexus like crazy! It forced my Nexus to shut down a couple of times within that week too.

I switched to Smart Volume Control+ icon Smart Volume Control+

I agree with you! I had the same sucky experience you did. Thanks for mentioned Smart Volume Control though. I just signed up with them after you mentioned them.
