NFC integration
I think some kind of NFC condition would be great. Especially for things like "in car" where neither location nor time conditions work very well.

We’ve been reviewing this already. There are two problems:
1. NFC only works while the screen is on. There’s no way to fire up NFC while the screen is off.2. Even if NFC could work while the screen was off, using it would have a 10 minute delay.
For these reasons, we don’t see an NFC condition as being viable with current versions of Android. As new versions of Android are released, we’ll look into this further.

Notifications volume on ICS
On my HTC phones with Android 2.x I could set different volume settings for Ringer and Notifications in Locale, but on my Galaxy Nexus there's only a unified "Ringer and notifications" volume?
I used this for a special condition where notifications volume is set to zero, when the phone is connected to the bluetooth handsfree in my car, otherwise every time I get a notification (email, G+ etc.) it would disrupt what I was listening to in the car.
I can not do this on the Galaxy Nexus, and it's very annoying to have ones favorite radio program disrupted for… more

Android 4.0 does not allow independent control of ringer and notification volumes. There is currently no workaround for this.

Condition for Wifi connected or not
I would like a condition that is just whether or not I'm connected to Wifi. I visit multiple places when if I'm connected to wifi, I'd want to turn on auto-sync, etc. where a location based condition won't work because there are numerous places I visit.

Have an option to open a folder on the headphones plugin.
I often use more than one app when on headphones(scanner, Pandora, equalizer), or I just use Winamp and the equalizer when I have music on the phone, so it would be cool to just have the plugin open my "Audio" folder.

Add support to change Network Operator
I'd like to be able to change the network operator automatically.
For instance, I'm living close to a border and traveling every day from one country to another to go to work On my workplace, I cannot connect to my Home Network, so I'm using a foreign network operator on roaming. No problem with that. But when I go back home on evenings, I unfortunately live too close to the border and still have access to the foreign Network! Therefore, my phone does not switch-back automatically to my home network operator, and I'm still charged roaming costs even when I'm… more

control System volume setting
A new setting is needed (in Locale or a plugin) to deal with the System volume setting. Other volume types are handled in Locale, in plugins released directly by twofortyfour, or by third-party plugins (e.g. AllVolumes) that generate tons of warnings about instability. There is a hole here for something to address System volume in the same way other volume types have been handled in the past.

Charging and power above %
It would be nice when triggering off the "Charging" event that we could also say that the battery needs to be above (or below) a given level. For example...
When charging and the power is below 10% do this...
When charging and the power is above 80% do that...

The ability to trigger on the keyboard state
It would be very useful to be able to trigger off the state of the keyboard being opened or closed.

out of location function for location plugin
This request is somewhat duplicate with this request, although more specific:
http://feedback.twofortyfouram.com/forums/5655-locale-feedback/suggestions/108382-not-on-conditionsI'm glad that you endlessly optimize the energy consuption of the location plugin and I would like to use it instead of the Locale Cell Plug-in. Although I miss a feature very much, I can't define out of location condition.
Let me explain with an example. I have a condition named "on the road to work" which is actiavated between 7 and 9 in the morning when I'm not at home and not at work.
Unfortunatelly I can't define such a condition with default location plugin. The saved… more3 votes -
Count missed calls as a condition
When I'm at work, Locale sets my phone to silent. If it's in my pocket and I don't notice the vibration, it's no big deal, because I'm at work. But what if someone really needs to get in contact with me? After the fifth missed call with my phone in my pocket, I would really prefer Locale to swap "Silent" for "10% ringer volume". After the sixth, 20%, and so on.
It could also be used to crossover with the Gchat and Auto-sms plugins - After n missed calls, put up a status on google chat "Sorry to whoever's trying… more

Change contact's picture depending on his location
Ability to pick photos from an SD folder and set them as contact's avatar depending on the location of where that person is (or maybe even keywords picked from his social status). Some places (home, work, favorite bar, city, suburban area) may be defined by a user, being other locations may set a common avatar.

Weather Based Alarm Clock
If the weather is nice enough (as defined by the user), the alarm clock goes off at a different time than normal. That way I am inspired to get up early on nice days and go for a bike ride!

In Pocket Condition
OK, so it's not that easy to detect if one's phone is in one's pocket, but it would be an awesome condition to incorporate...
The face up / face down condition is great, but it means you have to take the phone out of your pocket to use it. I'm probably not the only one here who would agree that when the phone's in your pocket, turning off bluetooth and switching ring to vibrate would be ideal.
This could either be done using the proximity or light sensor, or more simply achieved by turning the face up / face down… more

specify which bluetooth headset to use based on condition
I have a blue tooth headset that I generally use everywhere, and I have a Bluetooth Hands free feature in my car. I would like to be able to specify that when I am in my car it connects the Hands Free adapter and disconnects the regular headset, and twhen I am out of the car it automatically reconnectss the regular headset. Choice of headset to connect to should be based on several types of conditions:
1) In Card Dock
2) Which Bluetooth devices it can see
3) and/or if no dock available based on charging condition (i.e. USB, Car… more7 votes -

Optimize UI for Tablets
Optimize the Locale UI for large devices, such as tablets running Honeycomb. In addition, adjust the Locale UI to fit in with Honeycomb's "holo" theme

Locale 2.0 contains support for Honeycomb’s Holographic UI, ActionBar, and new icons. These enhancements significantly improve the Locale experience on Honeycomb tablets.
We’re working on continuing to optimize Locale’s UI for large screens.

NOT orientations, round 2
Carter, perhaps I didn't explain myself accurately enough in my first suggestion on this topic.
Again, I'd like a "not face up" and "not face down" option in the orientation situation.
You are correct that for many situations I could just toggle the setting in the Default situation. The situation which I'm referring to can not be toggled by the Default situation.
I'm using the Shortcut setting plugin to launch an application at a particular time of day (6:30 - 6:31). I can't have the Default application NOT launch the program or even kill the program as it makes no… more
