[Q] Tasker Profile?

Does anyone know if there a way to make a fast charge widget by using taker were you can turn fast charge on and off and have the icon(widget) change when you turn on and off the widget?

Probably is you use Secure Settings. I believe there's a toggle that will enable Fast charge. Just create a task to enable it and then create a widget to turn it on.
Edit - It worked fine. You'll need to download Secure Settings (and the helper) and make sure to enable fast charge in the settings, then go into Tasker, create a new task, plugin, secure settings. Save it, create a widget and select Tasker, then Task, choose the one you just created.

This works great, but is there a way I can make Tasker echo back the status that I've switched to/from in a notification? or change icon between on and off? I can toggle with the widget, but if I forget the state I'm in I have to to terminal to find out.
Thanks

You could have it set a variable that you create to 1 when on and 0 when off (basically toggling between the two). Then just set up to check the variable and create an Alert pop-up telling you it is On or Off . . .

Was looking to do the same thing. Here's what I came up with, xml in zip attached.
You'll need Secure Settings installed.
What the task does.
1. Reads /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge and stores value in variable %FASTC (0 = off, 1 = on)
2. Toggles Fast Charge using the Secure Settings plugin
3. The next set of commands flash a message and change the widget icon depending on the status of %FASTC
Setup a widget that uses the task, and you should be all set. Keep in mine changing the name of the Task/Widget will require editing the "change widget icon" commands.
Edit: Looks like I made a boo-boo. The read statement happens too fast and would still get the old value of force_fast_charge before Secure Settings changes it.
I moved the statements around and edited the IF statements for switching icons and flashing messages. attachment updated.

I just installed Secure Settings on my Note8, and for the Fast Charging option, the app is telling me that I do not have a compatible kernel... Does any know what this may be?

[APP][2.3+][WIDGET] App Guardian

Program allows you to lock or block access to selected application, access may be obtained by selecting pattern or password
App Guardian
[QRCODE]market://details?id=org.jastrzab.guardian[/QRCODE]

this is simple, i like it
But try this :
1. Download the app
2. Set to block an app
3. Open the app and see the lock is there
4. Open Settings > app > App Guirdian > Clear Data
5. Open the app and see there is no lock :v
so i guess you would like to add an option to automatically block settings?
and oh, if you want to change the pattern from the app, it doesn't ask for the current pattern

turn off/on screen or wait 1 minute and see what happens, when you try to access program or system settings
program by default blocks access settings "com.android.settings" and overrides clear settings button
after configuration or add new apps to list need to clear login, turn off/on screen

Owh, seems that's my problem then..
thanks

everything is working properly now ?, app has been tested on a small number of devices in theory there shouldn't be problems, but.....

Now program is fully completed, access may be obtained by selecting pattern or PIN

Is there a way to lengthen the "time on" for the lockscreens w/o entering password?

Title asks it all 8)
Looking to extend the awake time for the lockscreen while it's waiting for one to enter the password, unlock pattern, etc.
EDIT: Reason being - while using the Xposed Quick Access module it would be nice if the screen didn't off itself after a couple of seconds whilst I'm reading whatever info I have set for Quick Access-ability.
Thanks!

Sooo... I think I've solved this issue with a Tasker task. Tested with an n = 1 data set, but that one was a success. Looking forward to future testings to see if this works and solves the issue.
For those interested - in Tasker, I set up an app profile and triggered screen on, never timeout while that app is open / on-screen. Not the most perfect task since I'll have to actively remove the app from the screen for the phone to operate the lock function as normal, but I think it'll work for what I was hoping to do.
- Using Xposed Notification mod, I can pull down the notification menu down when I receive a new notification (an email for example).
- Or even better, using the Dynamic Notifications app I can open the email straight from the dynamic notification (similar to the function found on the Moto X for those not familiar).
- Then through the Xposed Quick Access mod, the email opens right over the lockscreen without going through the whole unlocking the phone process saving a few motions, clicks, etc.
- Then the Tasker task takes over and keeps the screen on whilst I'm reading / responding to the email, then when I delete the email and the lockscreen appears, the Tasker task ends and the screen goes back into default screen off / timeout mode.
Hopefully this will help someone else out in the future, or give someone else another idea! 8)

[How To] Turn on your PC using your Android Wear device

[EDIT: The method described in Post #3 is now my favourite, but it requires purchase of an app - the first method described here is free]
[EDIT 2: See Post 5 for Pujie Black method]
I just got my first Smartwatch (Moto 360 2nd Gen 42mm) and had been planning to try this as I thought it would be useful. I frequently turn on my PC (also my media server) using Wake-On-Lan from my phone when I'm about the house or after pulling into the driveway. On an Android phone this is pretty straightforward. Here's how I did it:
1) First of all make sure your PC is set up to allow Wake-On-Lan and it is on the same network as your phone. (Plenty of guides online showing how to do this, for example http://www.howtogeek.com/70374/how-to-geek-explains-what-is-wake-on-lan-and-how-do-i-enable-it/).
2) On your Android device, install 'Wake On LAN' by Reinhard Alischer from the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ralischer.wakeonlan). This can be set up to wake multiple PCs, and you can add a widget or shortcut to your home screen for waking individual computers. All you need to know is your PC's MAC address. (Further instructions using a different app are available at http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/turn-on-your-pc-with-android-device-via-wifi-network-wowlan -- but I recommend the app mentioned above for this as it allows Widgets and Shortcuts, necessary for the Android Wear instructions below).
3) You can now test this to see if you can successfully wake/turn on your PC using your Android device.
Assuming you've got the above all set up correctly, you can now proceed to get it working on your Android Wear device:
1) On your Android device, install 'Wearable Widgets' by Udell Enterprises from the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wearablewidgets). The free version allows you to have one Widget on your Wear device, upgrade to the full version if you want to wake more than one PC or use other widgets.
2) On your Android device, open Wearable Widgets and tap the '+' button to add a Widget. Choose the 'Wake On LAN' widget for the PC you want to turn on.
3) Now on your Android Wear device, wake the screen and say 'OK Google, Start Widgets'. A Wake On LAN button will appear on your smartwatch screen - tap it and your PC should turn on!
Your Wear device does not need to be connected to WiFi, just paired using bluetooth, as it is your phone's WiFi connection that is being used to wake the PC.
This is one very useful aspect of a Wear device for me - no more having to pull out and switch on my phone to wake up the computer, just a simple command and tap of the wrist. Hope this proves helpful to someone else :highfive:
If anyone has a simpler method, I'm all ears

Very cool; thanks for the post.

Just to update on this and provide an alternate method...
First of all, I did purchase the paid version of 'Wearable Widgets', and it does indeed allow me to wake multiple PCs using separate widgets for each one from the Wake-On-Lan app. Another benefit of this is that I can now also add a widget from my 'FTP Server Pro' app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.ftpserverpro&hl=en), which allows me to start the FTP Server on my phone from my watch - so that I can backup my phone over WiFi or transfer files over to it from my PC without having to touch the phone.
An alternate method for the Wake-On-Lan process is to follow the steps as above in post 1, but instead of using 'Wearable Widgets' use the 'Notification Toggle' app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle) - and for this method you must purchase the Shortcuts feature from within the app.
This app allows you to have toggles for WiFi, Bluetooth, Silent, Vibration etc on your watch, so that you can control all of these features on your phone without having to take it out. The paid-for Shortcuts feature allows you to add Shortcuts from any app on your phone to your watch. So, as the Wake-On-Lan app mentioned above allows both Widgets and Shortcuts for waking an individual PC, we can add a WOL Shortcut to our watch. You can also add multiple Shortcuts (from any app that supports them) to your watch (for example, I also added a Greenify shortcut).
1) Load Notification Toggle on your phone and navigate to the Premium Features section. Assuming you have purchased this, tap on where it says 'click here' to see shortcuts. Tap on the shortcut you want to add (in our case 'Wake on LAN Shortcut') and configure it.
2) The app will automatically add the Shortcut to your notification drawer on your phone, so if you don't want it there go to the third screen of the app and remove the tick beside the shortcut you don't want on your phone. (Note that you can turn off all other features of the app if you don't want to use the phone end of the Notification Toggles, simply remove the ticks from all toggles on screens 2 and 3).
3) Navigate to the Android Wear section (screen 4, first button).
4) In the list of Toggles for Android Wear you'll see your Shortcut(s), put a tick beside each one you want to appear on your watch. You can also set the order of the toggles by going back one screen and choosing 'Change Toggle Order'.
5) On your watch, go to the app drawer and start Notification Toggle. Swipe to and tap the appropriate Shortcut toggle to turn on the PC.
This is a bit more complicated to set up than the previous method, but has the benefit that you can have a WiFi toggle right next to the WOL Shortcut on your watch. So, for example, if you've been out and about with WiFi off on your phone, you can pull into the driveway, tap the WiFi toggle on your watch to activate WiFi on your phone, and then wake the PC.
If you have Pujie Black or another watch face with shortcut hot spots, you can set one of these up to launch Wearable Widgets or Notification Toggle to make things even quicker. I find that Notification Toggle loads slightly quicker on the watch than Wearable Widgets, but there's not much difference. This method (with Notification Toggles) is probably slightly better, but I still like having Wearable Widgets on my watch as there are some phone widgets which are handy to have on your wrist.

Turn on your PC using your Android Wear device
Turning on PC using Android wear device? I mean with the help of smart watch, isn't it amazing? Thanks a lot for the informative post mate.

The latest version of Pujie Black watch face now allows you to add shortcuts from the phone direct to your watch face. This means you can install the WOL tool from Post#1, and add an invisible 'hot spot' tap action shortcut for waking your PC direct to any Pujie watch face or to the Pujie tap drawer. No other apps needed
If anyone needs more detailed step-by-step, just ask.

Thank you very much for the post

Cool ?

Android Configuration Automation From Windows

What i have been trying to do is create somewhat of a script that i can run on my windows machine with my android device connected and have it install an apk and set device settings such as:
- WiFi: SSID and Password
- Display Settings: - When device is rotated and change to the second option (can't remember which one it was)
- Sound & Notification Settings: Blocking gmail and not displaying notifications on the lock screen
- Security Settings: From swipe lock to none
So far the best way i have found of automation this is using a chrome app called Vysor that connects to my Android device and lets me control it from my computer, then using AutoIT i use the X,Y positions on the screen to make the click and then use the "Send()" function to send keys such as passwords and so forth.
Surely there is a better way to do this does anyone have any idea?
