Hello, I've recently started using the Tasker app to try to get the hang of it, because i've heard it's pretty useful if it's used correctly.
I've posted on other forums and didn't quite get any useful advice.
Basically I want to be able to perform Freezing/Defrosting of certain apps like Titanium Backup does within a certain context of time like Tasker allows.
I just want app A and app B to be frozen from Time X - Y, then defrost at Time Z
If someone knows how to set this profile up on Tasker, please help me out, but I've been told by some that it's not possible.
So i'm posting this hoping maybe someone can develop an app like it? or clue me in on a solution?
Thanks.
Couple of sites I have extremely useful for Tasker are..
http://profileify.com
http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
Both have premade profiles and walkthroughs on how to set them up.
If what you are looking for is not already there its usually not hard to find a similar profile and modify to your needs.
I've never tried it, but theoretically you could use the Locale Execute plugin (see here for examples of usage: http://tasker.wikidot.com/rootbasic) to do "pm disable" and "pm enable" commands at specified times (you can search XDA for more info on these commands).
i installed mango RTM over the weekend and its been great. as i've been playing with it i've noticed 2 things
1. if you're texting with someone and you place the messaging app into "standby" (press windows button) and you get a text msg notification toast, if you click the toast it opens up a new copy of the messaging app. you can verify this by going into the multitasking switcher, you'll see 2 panels of "messaging". is this a bug or is this how its supposed to be?
2. i'm not really a big user of facebook chat but i am on gmail all the time so i was wondering if there's any way we can hack gchat on? gchat and fb chat both use the jabber protocol and since fb chat is enabled natively, we know there's a possibility of it being supported. any ideas?
thanks!
1: The "Multitasking" fast App switcher isn't showing instances of open apps. It's just showing recently use apps. Every app is in stand by mode if you don't "Back" out of them with the Back Button. The Task Switcher also has a 5 page limit. Apps outside that limit are still open/standby, just not in the list. At least this is how I believe it works. No way to tell till we have enough resume enabled apps that are Mango compatible to test this more. It's not the greatest implementation of Multitasking IMO. My 2 complains is this multiple pages of the same app issue that you mentioned & the 5 page limitation. When I'm really active on my phone, I can see this being an issue. Not a deal breaker, more of an annoyance.
1. The task switcher just show what you've done last. Also, native apps are always running and are not confine to the same restrictions as 3rd party apps.
2. Now that Microsoft open up Marketplace for Mango apps submissions, it won't be long before unofficial Google Talk apps show up.
Something that I noticed with wonder reader. Dont know if it's how the app is made, but..
When you open it, you hit windows (home) button, and hit back, it just come back instantly. But if you open it using the tile, it dont resume. It re-open it and it's not instantly.
Anyone else noticed?

Microsoft made a conscious design decision that apps started from the tile (on the Start screen or app list) are started as a new instance. The only way to fast app switch is by going through the backstack (either navigating sequentially via the back key or directly via the app switcher). I believe "a consistent user experience" was cited as the reason for this behavior.
This is quite different than in iOS, where the app switcher AND the home screen icon will fast resume an app (if still in memory). And that is why iOS has a way to delete apps from the app switcher, because that's the only way to start a new instance (it's also why Windows Phone doesn't need a way to clear apps from the app switcher). I happen to think Apple's design is better because more often than not, a user is looking to resume an experience, no matter how they end up starting app; therefore it should be the default behavior.
With Windows Phone deep linking, clicking on a secondary tile, toast notification, or a search extension can launch directly into a "page" inside the app, but it still takes time to fire up new instances of the app and the page.
You might also be interested to know that an app can only appear in the backstack once. So if you open an app using the main tile, then to go to the Start screen and start it again with a secondary tile, it'll knock the first instance off the backstack.
Anyway, probably more than you ever wanted to know but hope this clears it up.

I was inspired for this by Fiqett, who created a Siri plugin that communicates with a PHP script that can start his car via his Viper SmartStart system. Much credit to him for the idea and the script.
This does something similar on Android (using Vlingo), along with some extra features (you can schedule the car to start based on the location of your phone and the current temperature).
What does it do?
You can start Vlingo and say “Start my car” and the car will start (you need a phone-capable Viper SmartStart system)
You can just tap the app and the car will start
You can schedule the car to start automatically at a certain time if the phone is at a defined location and if the temperature is below a defined setting
Please read this post completely before downloading. Some setup is required. Do not hesitate to ask if you are having trouble setting it up.
What does this require?
A phone-compatible Viper SmartStart system or module
An Android SmartPhone running Android 2.2 or later. I have tested this on a Galaxy Nexus and a Motorola Droid 1.
Fiquett's viper_control.php script (https://github.com/fiquett/Viper_SmartStart_Control)
A web server running PHP to run the control script (something like Xampp will work fine [http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html]). If there is enough interest in this, I can provide detailed instructions for configuring Xampp, but the configuration is straightforward.
My Android app (My Car, links below)
Vlingo (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vlingo.client)
AndroidIdeas's TaskBomb (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.androidideas.taskbomb&hl=en) (any scheduler that can launch an activity will work)
How do I set it up?
Download Fiquett's viper_control.php script (https://github.com/fiquett/Viper_SmartStart_Control). Edit lines 9 and 10 to include your Viper username and password. Because the username and password are hardcoded in the script, the credentials are never passed insecurely between the phone and the server. The control script logs into Viper's servers and performs the requested action over HTTPS, so it is secure.
Put viper_control.php on a web server that is running PHP. I have it on a website hosted on GoDaddy.com. It would be more secure to put it on your home network and only access it via WiFi. You could also forward ports on your router so it could be accessible from anywhere. Something like Xampp (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) would probably run the script fine on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. Anyone with the knowledge that the script exists can start or unlock the car. Thus, the most secure way is to only access it via WiFi.
Once the script is set up, you should be able to go to your control URL in a browser (followed by ?action=remote) and the car should start (for example, http://192.168.0.100/viper_control.php?action=remote).
Install My Car (link is below).
Start the My Car Configuration app. Enter the URL for your viper_control.php script (do not put ?action=remote on the end). The other settings are optional and are for the Start My Car If app, which will start the car if the car is in the provided city and the temperature is under the provided value. Make sure you click Exit when you are done. Otherwise, Vlingo or TaskBomb might start the configuration instead of the car.
Run the My Car app. The car should start. If you run it again, the car should shut off.
Install Vlingo. I checked the Auto Listen box at the bottom so that it will start listening as soon as I start Vlingo (or you could use a Vlingo widget). You should be able to say “Start my car” to start the car.
Install TaskBomb for scheduling the car to start. Launch it, and go to Tasks. Add a new task, and name it “Start My Car.” Change the Action Type to MAIN. For Activity, select Start My Car If. Leave all other settings as they are. Go to Alarms. Add a new alarm, and select the task you just created. Set the schedule as desired. Mine runs Monday-Friday at 7:20am.
How do I get it?
Download the APK here:
http://www.ascci.net/mycar/MyCar.apk
Note: Google Chrome on ICS appears to rename this to a .zip file. Use a file manager to name it back or use the stock browser.
Plans for future versions:
App icons (I’m not very good at those, but I will take a stab at it if people use the app)
Display something to indicate if the car started or not
A way to start the car and immediately unlock it--for when you are in sight of it and want to start it just to be cool.
Any feedback, questions, or suggestions are welcome!
Lots of views... has anyone with a SmartStart system tried it? Any feedback?
Is there anything I could do to make the setup simpler (a video, providing Xampp setup instructions, etc.)?
is there a way to integrate it with BB10 Voice Control? :fingers-crossed:

Might take a little digging, but we could probably figure out a way to get something working.
It appears that BB10's voice control has an "open" or "launch" command that works for some side-loaded Android apps.
http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-10-os-f269/voice-control-commands-772534/
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like "start" is a valid thing to say, so saying "Launch My Car" could work, but not as cool (that's why I was using Vlingo, because its key word to start apps is "start.") Although, since this is very new, maybe "start" is a valid thing to say to start an app.
The user on that post above states that this works for some side-loaded Android apps. We'd need to figure out what the criteria by which an Android app can be launched by BB10 via voice control is.
Would you be able to test it with some random Android app that runs on BB10, preferably one with a space in the name, to see if it works?
So for example, say "launch Angry Birds."
If it can do that, hopefully we can come up with something that will work. The scheduling part might be easier to do some other way (Viper's app has scheduling now, it didn't at the time of the OP).
Awesome! Nice work!
I have the paid version of Tasker and Assistant
I created a Tasker task that performs an HTTP GET of the viper_control.php?action= command. I then used Tasker's App Factory to create 4 different apps; lock, unlock, start, and stop.
The paid version of Assistant allows you to teach your assistant, for example; "When I say start my car open Start Car". Now I can say "Hey assistant, start my car" and my car starts.
Now to use Tasker to schedule my car to start and maybe even by temperature...

I found copies of your tasks elsewhere and am using in them with Tasker and Autovoice.
Do you know how to check status updates or get gps?
No I do not, sorry. I reactivated my SmartStart recently but it doesn't work right now.
if this post is still alive... I'd like to be able to send a request that unlocks the doors and then starts the car with one command, custom iPhone icon or web script. the reminder built into the app tries to start the car before disarm and alarm goes off every time. and of course, I'll pay.
Alexa, Start my Car
I finally stabilized a project that I have been working on for some time now. The project is to open my garage and start my jeep on demand using the Amazon Alexa voice assistant. Similar to the features on the Tesla. Using the Raspberry PI Zero and my existing home automation system, I can now command my Echos to “Warm up my Jeep” and be more confident that the task will run.
I first created this project by writing a program in the Android app Tasker where I used the Insteon APIs and the Viper SmartStart APIs to control both my garage and jeep. The program was to open the garage, wait for a confirmation that the garage was opened, and then start my jeep only if the garage was opened, all by a voice command. But the program was unreliable. It would work sometimes but most times it didn’t. I believe that the program was too process intensive for my Samsung S8 smartphone.
A few weeks ago, I decided to use another processing mechanism; the Raspberry PI. I found a python script on GetHub that uses the Viper Smartstart APIs to start my jeep. I installed it, tailored it to my needs, and wrapped a CGI script around it so that I can easily call it from my existing home automation system as an external network resource. I created a program that opens my garage, wait for a confirmation that my garage was opened, and then call the network resource that starts my jeep.
With my home automation system already integrated with the Amazon Alexa services, it was easy to have my Echos run my program to start my jeep. I basically set up my program in the Amazon Alexa app as a new device and created an Alexa Routine, for a customized command. I now say “Alexa, warm up my jeep” and the Alexa services open my garage and start up my jeep.
This project is awesomely convenient for me and secure as well. It easily fits within my already existing security model. Taking advantage of my Geo Fencing features, the program is designed to run only if I’m at home. And it is only accessible within my internal network. The alerts whenever my garage is opened and/or closed are still in place. And my security cameras and control panels still show me the garage whenever the garage door is opened and/or closed.
This was an exciting project and I’m still making enhancements to it, but for the most part it works as I intended, and it is much more reliable than using Tasker.

Is it still working?
For those not aware of automagic:
Automagic is a automation application that uses a flow-chart interface to set-up the automations you want. It has a few pre-programmed flows (mostly hidden in the 'catalog'), but it's mainly the imagination that's the limit. So my reasoning for this post is collecting more flow charts or ideas, share them with others and hopefully inspire more.
Link
Automagic for Gleeo
Automagic premium
Automagic for gleeo is in principal for their time managing app Gleeo, but it can be used for a number of different tasks as wel.
Automagic premium is their paid app, I know that's commercial but it only features more actions/triggers/... than the free version, which is already pretty versatile on its own.
Flow charts
flow charts typically consist of
- a trigger (rectangle box with rounded corners)
- a condition (diamond box)
- an action (rectangle box)
My flow charts
- basic airplane mode by clock (see catalog by pressing the menu button)
- a basic wifi connected > disable mobile data // wifi disconnected > enable mobile data
- 2 NFC triggered flows (but they could be altered to location/time)
This app looks interesting. Love the flow chart design.
I downloaded the lite version, but there seem to be very little things I can do with it.
I dont mind paying for the pro, but would like to test the task that I wish to setup firtst; as I've already bought AutomateIt and Tasker (too complicated for my usage). AutomateIt does not have some actions that I wish to setup e.g. WIFI tethering.
Is there a trial app? or do you happen to have a Xperia S, and can confirm if the following action work:
1) trigger on/ off WIFI tethering (without intervention)
2) trigger on/ off GPS (without intervention)
3) trigger on/ off NFC (without intervention)
This application shows a lot of potential. I bought the pro version and will play around with it as soon as I have some time. In the mean time, I downloaded and activated and313's Proximity Screen On/Off flow. It works pretty well except for a weird admin problem message when trying to turn off the screen.
Overall, a good program with a lot of potential. Well done guys :good:
Edit: Enabling admin privileges for Automagic from settings solves the issue.
Been using this as a replacement for Tasker and have been very happy with it. The flowchart style profiles and logging options make creating complex profiles much easier. The other thing I like is that many options like NFC or lockscreen toggling are built in and it doesn't need all the extra addins/plugins that I needed to get things done with Tasker.
Kinda surprised this isn't popular. Any reason why? Seems like it's a very well made app.
utter! + Automagic + permanent voice recognition
Hi, good day all.
I'm trying to use command:2 (invoke permanent voice recognition) intent via automagic instead of Tasker. I much prefer Automagic and will not turn away from it. (I'm a novice re: programming language if even that)
I'll explain what I have tried so far, hopefully someone can lend a helping hand.
In Automagic I have tried "Start Activity" and "Send Broadcast" Action Types.
I'm making some progress with the "Start Activity" Action where my...
-ACTION TYPE = "Start Activity"
-ACTION = "android.intent.action.SEND"
-Explicit Component Checked...
PACKAGE NAME = "com.brandall.nutter"
CLASS NAME = "com.brandall.nutter.EIH"
EXTRAS =
"putString(command, 2);
putString(password, mypassword123)"
The ACTION results in a toast "utter! password failure for external application", it looks like the command is registering, but the password is not.
My utter! POWER USER PASSWORD = "mypassword123" literally, to make things simple... that password worked for me when invoking command:2 in Tasker. I've tried different alphanumeric passwords in utter! as well.
In other words I'm trying to set the data extras in automagic to "command:2" and "password:mypassword123", but, Automagic forces ";" and forces "putString" prestatements, if that makes any sense.
It looks like automagic has all intent Function, Variable, and Snippet options ie: putString, putBoolean, putFloat, putDouble etc.
How can I get Automagic activate the permanent voice recognition function in utter!?
It would be great to just be able to have some kind of activity shortcut to turn on off voice recognition instead of this, or just have it boot with phone boot. But I'm definately not complaining as utter! is free and very good!, thanks!
RESOLVED!
The great people at Automagic have replied to me (very quickly I might add) and have resolved my problem.
So for those of you who wish to control the permanent voice recognition of utter! via Automagic, here's the solution...
"Hi,
Your configuration almost works, only the extras field needs some small adjustments:
-ACTION: doesn't matter
-Explicit Component: Checked
-PACKAGE NAME: com.brandall.nutter
-CLASS NAME: com.brandall.nutter.EIH
-EXTRAS:
putInt("command", 4);
putString("password", "test");
It seems that utter uses an int for the command and not a string so you have to use the putInt function in this case.
The first parameter of the putInt and putString function needs to be a string, therefore the key has to be put into double quotes otherwise it would refer to a variable with this name.
Please also see the help page of action 'Script' for a description of the scripting language:
http://automagic4android.com/en/help/components#action_script
Utter also offers a plugin which can be used in Automagic with the action 'Plugin' but I'm not sure if utter allows to control the same functions using the plugin.
Automagic ROCKS!:good:
unknown cell ID's
In Llama, there's a trigger to invoke an action whereby if you are connected to unknown cell ID's the action is triggered. I wonder if it's possible to do the same on Automagic. Any ideas?
Hi,
please add a new action > remove / disable alarm
edit: calendar event from google calendar works also? edit 3: tested, its working
edit 2: Location based condition need a button "current Location"
cheers

I've been wondering that as well. This is a truly amazing app, and automating my phone has never been this fun. Automagic is compatible with all the Tasker plugins, and I have yet to find anything I can't do with this app that I could do with Tasker.
Here is part of my battery saving flow, enabling data traffic for a short while four times per hour while the screen is off (except for during nights and when battery is low), at the same time making sure not to turn off data if there is any ongoing traffic.
I could do the same in Tasker, but I find it so much easier to do when you can see the whole automation flow like this. Also, it looks impressive

It's working very well, and my battery lasts noticeably longer. Previously I was using a separate app for this, but making my own flow was more fun, and works just as well.
Here are the flows for you (one for when turning the screen off and one for when turning it on).

Thanks, brow, but how do I import this .xml file into the app?

Kinda surprised this isn't popular. Any reason why? Seems like it's a very well made app.

Hi,
also tried to import xml files into Automagic Premium (AP)
But whithin the app you just get some bad Apps to select for opening the importing file. (Look at: Menue=>Manage=>Import Flows/Widgets)
So here is how it works for me:
- search file with any file browser
- try to open it and select AP for this action
- done
Next you open AP you'll find the flow at the "Ungrouped" folder, or in the folder defined by the programmer.
Hope this can help.
Hi,
press the 3dot to open the quick menü for this flow and then press send, now you can attached the xml file here

This is best automation app i have ever used as i used tasker and lima.. But this app is so powerful and so fun.. I love it.. And so easy to use.. Recommended for everyone...
I know this is an old thread, but I just found out about it and was wondering if anyone had any amazing flows they'd like to share?
Greetings,
I know it is bad practice because I read about it on the forums and ran a lot of Google research but I would like to kill an application automatically at a specific time, this is temporary though.
It is a work phone, so I am not allowed to root it.
Would there be a way, without the phone rooted, to use Tasker or a way to ask a script to use the Task Manager of Android to "Exit" an application?
Is there another way to do that as well?
I tried to use Tasker to kill the application, but whenever I try to launch it after it has been closed, the telephone displays a black screen and I have to reboot it.
I tried to use the Terminal Emulator as well and the kill function but it says "Operation not permitted".
Thanks a lot to all for your time and help.
