... so I found about Automate. But initial learning curve looks a bit hard :/
Basically I have an old Android 6 device on which I need to automate switching
1. set Date/Time sync to off
2. set Date/Time sync to Network provided
Its all because of gps rollover bug in firmware and no support, but steps above give a quickfix until next reboot
The device does have su/root

Use included "Settings finder" flow to find the affected setting, if there is one, then the System setting set block to change it.

Thanks, making progress... is there a "how to" different to one in Documentation?! Too many stupid questions, which are obvious for expirienced users.

- can I add icon to start particular flow? Instead of starting automate and then selecting flow. 
Found mentions of alternative launch, but how does it work... no explanation :(, I am PC guy not android guru :(

Place a shortcut or a "flow widget", launching a flow, on your launch screen.
