General :: SGS4 Features On Non-Galaxy Phone - Tasker
May 23, 2013
I have been loving the features of the SGS4 - especially gestures. As a result, I have decided to make scripts to allow non-SGS4 phones, using Tasker, to get the same cool benefits. Some of them are pretty darn cool! Anyhow, Ill be posting the scripts as I get them done. You can then import them into your phone, thus giving you the same great fun. If you want to make your own scripts, you are welcome to post them, and share with everyone else.

I'm trying to set up a tasker profile that will save some time (and my phones hardware...).
In a nutshell: When using a particular app, I would like the screen to turn off after a short period of time, but (and here's the bit I can't figure out) allow it to be unlocked just by touching the screen (i.e. no hardware button presses required). Is this possible with Tasker?

I own a new SGS4, and want to migrate all my messages from my an old CWM backup I have. My phone is not rooted, so I can't use NANDROID MANAGER for that job.
I'm looking for a way to convert the internal SMS db file to an SMS.xml (same one as used by SMS BACKUP/RESTORE app) - than it will be easy to restore it.

Ok, so i bought a use samsung galaxy s3 I747M. When i got home I was excited to test out all the cool features advertised in the comercials, to my horror, none of them worked. palm screenshot, video while texting, and i cant find the driving mode or s-voice. After tearing through all the settings, I found the the previous owner replaced touchwiz with cyanogenMod 10. Is this why these features don't work?how to get touchwiz back?

I have a samsung galaxy grand and I so like it but I am quite disappointed as some of its features aren't working. For instance, the automatic feature for making calls. The instruction says that if you put the device on your ear, it will automatically prompt you to contacts where you can make calls.

After I "upgraded" my OS to 4.2.2 using the auto-upgrade feature on my Samsung Galaxy Grand GT-I9082, I've lost a huge number of features, including the following. Unfortunately, I didn't note my original OS, nor have I taken any kind of backup of it (not that I know how to!).
SETTINGS
- Multi-window option has been disabled, and the multi-window toolbar has disappeared.
LOCK SCREEN
- Camera, Gmail and one more App that were available as icons on the lock screen are no longer available.
CALL SCREEN
- Earlier on receiving a call, I could send a message with several pre-set options such as "I'm in a meeting", "I'll call you later", I'm driving", etc. This is no longer available.
PHONE
- "Favorites" option has disappeared. This is a BIG inconvenience!
- When I go to "Phone", I always get the "keypad" page. Earlier, I used to get whatever page I was last on (keypad / logs / favorites)
- The text size has mysteriously (and unnecessarily) increased, in the "Logs" page.
CONTACTS
- "Favorites" option has disappeared; I can't mark any contacts as "favorites".
- Long-pressing on any contact would give me several options, including sending contact details to anyone by message. This, and many other options, have vanished after the upgrade. At present, there are only three options: 'Edit', 'Delete', and 'Add to Group' in the main "Contacts" page, and only 'Remove Member' when viewed in the "Groups" page.
- The number of data fields in each contact in 'edit' mode have drastically reduced. Most importantly, due to removal of the "Notes" field, I have lost all the info I had entered in there: miscellaneous info that didn't fit into any other field.
CALLING
- When a call is being dialled or is in progress, I can't turn on the Bluetooth because the button has been removed from the 'Call' page. Earlier, I could quickly turn on the Bluetooth and switch to it even as the call was being dialled or was in progress.
S PLANNER
- The number of fields in each event in the calender has been drastically reduced. Most importantly, I have lost the ability to set reminders, as the 'Reminders' option has been removed. I can set events, but not reminders for them.
- The left button on my phone (the 'options' button) has no functions in the 'date' and 'event' pages.
GALLERY
- I can't rename folders in the gallery any more.
- More than half the options (available by pressing the left button) have disappeared.
WIDGETS, APPS & OTHER FACILITIES
- The "Alarm" widget has been removed, and I really miss it. Now I have to laboriously open the 'clock' app, scroll to the desired alarm and activate it. Earlier, I had set three or four commonly used alarms in the widget and I could set them directly from my desktop!
- Earlier, if I long-pressed the right-hand button ('Back' button) of my phone, I got a hidden pull-out menu that contained the icons of a whole lot of useful Apps that I could access quickly. Also, this pull-out menu permitted multi-windows (splitting the screen between two different Apps). This pull-out menu is no longer available.
(b) Download & restore a better (not necessarily 'higher') version of Android on my phone?
(c) Backup my OS, or set a restore point, as can be done in PCs (if that's possible)?

I have an AT&T Samsung Note 3 SM-N900A running Android 4.3 (baseband version N900AUCUBMJ5, kernel v3.4.0-1625098). I rooted it using Kingo, installed Tasker (with Secure Settings plugin), and created 2 profiles: one with a 'Home' location context, and one with a 'Work' location context. In the 'Location Edit' map screen for each, I set a pinned location w/ a radius of 200m. I also de-select 'GPS' (leaving only 'NET'), since I don't want GPS enabled all the time (to extend battery life). I confirm that these work when I'm actively using the phone.. the profile becomes active when I'm at the specified location (as expected). I know it's active because it's displayed in the Notification Panel (and it's also shown in green in the Tasker profiles list).
The issue I'm having is that after ~10 minutes of idle time (i.e. when the display is off and I'm not using the phone), I find that the profile is no longer active when I turn the display back on and start using the phone again. I confirmed that this *doesn't* happen after 1 minute, 2 minutes, nor 5 minutes, only > 10. I also confirmed that it happens for both profiles consistently. However, as soon as I start Tasker again from the Apps Drawer (or from Recent Apps screen), the profile is immediately activated again, and my Enter task is re-run.
I enabled the run log in Tasker prefs, but it basically shows a clean activation of the profile (with no warnings or anything that looks weird to me).
I know there's a 10-minute timeout in the Display Off Monitoring prefs, but that doesn't seem to be related to my issue. I tried reducing the All Checks Seconds from 600 to 90, rebooted the phone, and it still took ~10 minutes before the profile would become inactive after the phone being idle.

What I'm trying to do is call-forward my number to Dell VOIP when connected to WiFI, but I want to kill the Dell Voice app when I'm not connected to wifi because it's a battery drainer. So far I have everything setup so that when I'm on WiFi, all calls get routed through WiFi into the Dell Voice app.. what I cannot figure out how to do is kill the app once I disconnect from WiFI. I tried searching but couldn't find an answer.

I really like the motorola "always ready" feature where you can say "Ok, Google Now" and bring up google now instantly. Is it possible to integrate voice actions into tasker?

I have Tasker on my phone, since I just downloaded the app a few days ago. I have been trying to create a profile where if im connected to my home wifi, the lock pattern on my lockscreen will be off. if im not connected to my home wifi network, I want the lock pattern to be back on. I followed Armandas guide on YouTube but it did not work for me. BTW im on a Galaxy s2, using a 4.2.2 ROM with the DashClock widget as my default lock screen.

I'm looking for a way to use data from Torque in Tasker.
I want to take data from torque and use it to drive actions in Tasker. Specifically, I'd like to turn the screen on when the engine comes on. Is anyone aware of previous work done in this area that might get me started? Or, would I need to code a Tasker plugin?
I'm aware I could accomplish this using ACC power as the on/off flag, but I'd like to charge the tablet at all times and not just when the car is running.

How is the app 'Tasker' made? It runs a lot of activity's in the background, and how could you do that with your own app?
I'm making a Virtual Assistant app for Android and I need it to be checking for when the user say's "Okay, Google" or something like that. I need to do something like an Automation app, thats always checking for user input?

I want to stop and start tasker by itself via a bashscript since I see no other way to do so. This works if you put in terminal line by line:
Code:
am force-stop net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/net.dinglisch.android.taskerm.Tasker
killall net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
But now I'm stock
My guess was that it would have to work if i put in a file "kst.sh" and run
Code:
sh ./kst.sh
as root.
But it doesn't work and it seems to ignore the linebreaks in the file.
So here I am, knowing the commands and need to run them with one call. How do I do that?

I'd like to have Tasker read incoming texts to me while in the car but pause and playing media first. I have a profile setup to trigger the task and everything work, except the part about pausing the media. As it is now it just read the text over the top of the media and neither are understandable.
I've searched and I can't seem to find a reliable way to determine if media is playing, pause it, then play it again after the text is read. I'm familiar with %MTRACK, but that only works with some players (none of which I use). I typically use PlayerPro and BeyondPod.

I am a complete newbie with tasker. I am trying to create a profile with which I wish to auto-send an sms to wish people, for example on their birthday. So birthdays, set from contact appear on my calendar as "personName. Birthday"
I am able to trigger an action reading "*Birthday" in calendar event. But how do I pass the personName from the trigger, that matched "*Birthday" to the action to use as contact (directly or by extracting number for that contact) and the enter in the message like: Happy Birthday personName!

Since KitKat has been released Android has a new setting to allow us to use a "battery saving" version of location. I am wondering if I could actually control this setting using Tasker. Example would be only when I open maps do I want to use the "High Accuracy" version. I can not seem to find this in Tasker as there has not been a new version since KitKat. Is there another way of doing this? Script? Etc?

Trying to figure out how to configure my Nexus 4 to use Hacker's Keyboard with specific apps. I like the "swipe typing" for most stuff, but I want HK for ConectBot and some other terminal stuff. The phone is rooted and far I have the following apps: Tasker, Keyboard Swap for Tasker, Secure Settings installed. I've tried a few different things I've found online, but nothing has worked.

It seems there is a lack of support for using tasker.
My aim: When ran, use a tasker task to execute the WiFi for Root users tether start, and if I'm lucky, stop as well in a separate task.
What I have done: I have locale execute plugin. I start an execute task and in configuration I typed
Code:
/data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin/tether start
as this is what is displayed when enabling tethering in the WiFi tether app itself.
The problem: Though when ran, this exe task does nothing. Wrong code? Wrong plugin in tasker? I want to do this not just for convenience, but also to learn.
See attached for reference.

I really would like to be able to send an intent to spotify via Tasker, so that I could make tasker launch spotify AND start playing a certain playlist?
Since for example shazaam can send an intent to spotify and directly start a song in spotify, this has to work?
To use your BT-headphones and you dont even need to take the phone out from your pocket.

It happens about 50% of the time and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm running on an AT&T Galaxy S3 running Task's AOKP newest build. Is this a tasker issue or something else entirely?

This profile is driving me nuts. It can be found all over on the internet as it's quite common, but my phone will just not run it. I simply want my GPS signal to turn on when I open my good maps navigation, and then turn off when I close navigation. My psuedo code is below.
Profile: Nav On
Open app: Navigation
Enter Task:
IF %GPS ~ off
GPS set On
Go Home
Wait 50 MS
Load App: Navigation
END IF
Exit Task:
GPS set Off
