Tasker finally on the Market, automate nearly anything easily!

It's hard to describe what Tasker can do, as there's not much it can't do. I try to describe it like a high-level interface to the Android API. You can adjust hoards of Android settings programmatically based on Events (application, time, date, location, event, gesture).
Personally, I do some of the following:
Passively upload my GPS location to my website every 10m
Have the phone get fairly loud when I'm a home
Quiet when I'm at work
Nearly Muted when I'm in a meeting (matches a Calendar event)
Muted with Autosyncing disabled at Night while I sleep
Disable Rotation on my etext reader to work around a bug in the ereader which loses my position in my book when it rotates!
Make the screen brightness and sounds high when I'm running Waze (gps program) on AC power (plugged into car charger)
... more little things!
All of this is done using an easy to use GUI to build matching contexts and a task to execute when matched. There are lots of samples to start with on the website, and very easy to write your own. Basically it's a graphical programming language that anyone could use.
It's on the market as of today, and the website is here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
I have zero connection to the author besides an extremely happy user, decided I would post this here because he's exited beta testing and on the market now.
Here's even a few more examples of things that can be done, pasted from the website.. Still only the tip of the iceberg on things it can do:
passcode-lock sensitive applications (e.g. for child safety)
change phone settings by
application: long screen timeout in a book reader
time: screen brightness lower in the evening
location: ringer volume high at the office, turn off ke yguard at home
wake up with a random song from your music collection
Text-to-speech; read out loud: incoming SMS/ phone number, WiFi/Bluetooth status, when it's time for an appointment, when the battery is low etc etc (Android OS 1.6+ only)
launch a music application when your music SD card is inserted, otherwise a file browser
start the day with a particular application showing
change all your home icons and wallpaper every day, or in particular locations
turn the phone upside down to return to the home screen, tilt 90 degrees to the left and back to toggle speakerphone during a call
create a Home widget to
toggle bluetooth/wifi on/off
launch wireless settings dialog
show a menu of tasks to choose
send an emergency SMS with your GPS location
remap camera etc buttons to other applications, or show a menu of applications and/or actions
decrypt/encrypt and/or zip/unzip application data on the fly when an application is launched/exits
pause music playback while in a particular application, restart on exit
change the Home icon for any application
take a time-lapse photo series (possibly 'secretly')
make a regular backup of a file on the SD card
track your phone location via SMS in case of theft
extend the use of the media button on your headset: take a picture from a distance or go to the previous media track with a long press
record call times and destinations to the SD card
show a popup when an SMS arrives from a particular phone number
setup a birthday SMS to be sent months before it happens so you don't forget
record battery levels over time to a file on SD card
make automatic recordings of what you say during phone calls to SD card
during the night, turn on airplane mode to conserve battery/reduce radiation, but turn it off every 15 minutes to check for SMS/voicemail.
setup a vacation SMS message, with different messages for different callers
launch a music application when headphones are connected

Hrmmm, there's not much reviews for the app. I'm interested in trying out but I wish there was a trial or something.

I hadn't looked at his market version yet, but it shouldn't need validation for 14 days..
He sells it on the market and off of the market. If nothing else you could install it from his website. I'll ask on his forum, it shouldn't require purchasing to use immediately.

Everytime I try it I get a FC when setting up my profiles, and I lose all my changes. Gets annoying fast. I uninstalled and did refund.

Weird, I've seen that like once when I first tried it.. You might want to get on his forums and see what he can do to help fix it, as if you're interested I don't think there's anything else out there that does anywhere close to what Tasker does.
Come to think of it, yes, I did see that maybe 2-3 times, especially when first messing around, but I haven't seen it in weeks, even though I've set up multiple profiles since then. Interesting. You could always set up some stuff, Apply, re-enter the app. At that point it's saved. If it crashes, you won't lose anything. However it'd be good to get logs from alogcat or such to figure out the crash problem.

Awesome.. tasker is too good and much better than locale and setting profiles (though UI could get a bit better)... I've been waiting for it to arrive on the market..

I guess I'm the only person who has troubles with the app.. ::sigh:: I want to love it..

I've actually been using the app for a little over two weeks, and I've found it to be indispensable! GPS drains my battery too fast, so I love coordinating tasks with calendar events in conjunction with network-based location. Not to mention auto starting GPS for specific apps and then shutting GPS back off when I exit said app. There are simply SO many uses for tasker, and its compatible with locale plug-ins.
Btw. Try using Foxy Ring's ambient noise feature to auto adjust ringer volume. It works great when constantly moving from quiet study areas into a loud common room.

Does anyone know how I can set up Tasker to switch to 2G at midnight and then back to 3G/H at 8am?
I have looked throught the options and I can see the settings for 2G, but when I add Time as the 1st context I then can't find anything relating to 2G for the next context.
I understand it's probably just me being thick but if any one could help it would be much appreciated!
Loving this app otherwise, well worth the small fee.
Thanks.

Sure, Tasker doesn't have a "Default" profile, when a profile ends it returns what settings it changed back to what they previously were.. So if it's H going into your night profile, switch off 3G, then when the profile is over it'll return to H. The big difference here is that most likely you're going to have to run an external program, maybe APNDroid or something, to toggle 2G/3G, as apparently it's not in the API directly and Tasker can't do it. So you have an entry task and an exit task.
Yep, I just looked for apps that can do this, they all launch the option in the menus, can't do it directly... So doing this doesn't seem (directly) possible, but maybe there is something out there.. I just glanced. http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=3g&market=android

I kind feel sorry for Locale Tasker has it 100x over, plus it can use Locale plugins.

I haven't done much digging, but... maybe someone could help me with this one:
I have the Samsung vibrant which does not have a hardware camera button. Would there be a way to use this app to remap the power button when in the camera.app to use it as the shutter button?
Thank you

Anyone else having force closes when trying to set backgrounds for app menus? Don't dig the bland menu background that comes stock in the app.

Great app except the fact it is using 1/4th of my battery for two profiles.

You have something misconfigured or you have insanely good battery usage then. I have Tasker using the GPS every 10 minutes, uploading that GPS data to my website. It reminds me every 2 minutes of missed email, phone calls, sms... It goes speakerphone if I flip it on a call. It changes profiles for home, work, work meeting, running GPS in the car... I think I have a profile to wash the dishes too, but I'm waiting on an enhancement from Pent to make that one function.
Seriously, post on his forum with the exact context and task, I bet something is done wrong.

Man I still have difficulty trying to make Tasker do simple things because I'm not really savvy with such stuff...

I have been trying to get Tasker to automagically switch keyboards based on orientation for like a few days now, no luck. I want to have Swype when in portrait mode, and then a custom HiRes keyboard in landscape...
can anyone help with this or if someone has done it already, please lend some advice...
Also, maybe this thread can become the official Tasker profile thread, if not, maybe a sticky with user created profiles?

Been trying to a place where people dump their profile examples for the inept people who can't work out half the settings, like myself

Tasker works perfectly on my phone: HTC Desire, stock ROM, official Android 2.2 update
My profiles:
Profile: Running Navigation
Context: Application: Load app Sygic
Tasks:
- Misc: GPS ON
- Audio: Set Media Volume to max
- Display: Set Brightness to 200
- Set Speakerphone to ON
Profile: Silencing Hidden Caller-ID
Context: State: Incoming Call
Tasks:
- Audio: Set Ringer Volume to 0 - if %CNUM ~ 0
- Audio: Set Vibrate to OFF - if %CNUM ~0
Note: for the second profile, you need to use at least 1.0.6 beta 5 (%CNUM bug fixed).

[GUIDE] Tasker

So as some of you may know there is an app for android called Tasker and it is by far the most powerful app out to date.
"Tasker is an application for Android which performs Tasks (sets of Actions) based on Contexts (application, time, date, location, event, gesture) in user-defined Profiles, or in clickable or timer home screen widgets.
This simple concept profoundly extends your control of your Android device and it's capabilities, without the need for 'root' or a special home screen"
As powerful and amazing as this app is, it's pretty hard to use unless your very tech savvy and I have been searching the Net for some how-to guides but their doesn't seem to be much out there. So I wanted to create this thread and have people post their own little tips/mods that they have set-up with Tasker so that newbies such as my-self can have a place to go if they need help getting Tasker to perform certain functions.
I just download the app last night and haven't had much time to mess with it yet, but once I get the hang of it I will start posting what I'm doing.
Anybody that uses Tasker please feel free to add on to the thread and lets make this the ultimate "How-to" guide for people trying to unlock the full potential of this amazing app.

@OP, one that I made that I find useful scans the SD card for new media whenever it's mounted.
PROFILE:
Event - Card Mounted (Priority: Normal, Card Title: <blank>, Frequency: 1)
Task - Media -> Scan Card
Task - Alert -> Flash (Text: Scanning for new media..., Long: <unchecked>, If: <unchecked>)
This one turns off the lockscreen when using Music or Pandora (you have to make two separate profiles!)
PROFILE:
Application - Music/Pandora
Task - Display -> Keyguard (Set: Off, If: <unchecked>)
I also spent a lot of time developing a task that would turn airplane mode on for 45 minutes, turn it off for 15 minutes, then turn it back on and repeat until stopped. Everything works except Tasker stops all timers when the phone sleeps, so unless I want to put a partial wake-lock on it (which would defeat the whole battery-saving purpose of the profile in the first place), it doesn't work

Both setups seem very useful, ima check them out. Thanks for the input!
About the one you can't get to work. I'm pretty sure I actually saw something similar to it the other day on another website, not 100% sure though. I think it was a profile that allowed you to basically turn off all of you're data and have it come back on for a short period of time to gather texts and stuff...
Ima going to look for it for you to see if i can find it...
In the mean time I found a few useful profiles here http://lifehacker.com/5606284/three-handy-tasker-profiles-from-our-readers
I would post them but theres actually quite a bit if you look in the comments and the post itself.
Once I think of something "original" i'll post it

You also might want to check the official Tasker pages. There is also a Wiki with step-throughs (link on left side of main page).
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

This is the only app I have been able to find that will let you remotely turn the GPS on. IMO that alone was worth the money, now I don't have to waste time writing an app for it.
I've been working on something to activate the GPS and send the phone's location, available wifi networks, etc, over a text message. Haven't figure out how to make it update the GPS location or turn on 3G yet though. Anyone know anything about android bridge scripts and if they would be able to do this?

Wow. thanks a lot for the link. i have been looking for some sort of wiki or help for tasker for a while now but apparently I wasn't looking in rite places.
Thanks again.
Also, Mobile Defense, if installed in system apps allows you to remotely turn on gps and track your phone, however, they have temporarily closed down the beta. I've always had it on my android phones and it's pretty amazing. Much better than lookout for tracking your device.

maps to start gps and gps logger
hi everyone,
i'd like to start maps, and have:
- Gps turned on
and
-an app called GpsLogger to start.
The problem i get is that, once Gps is turned on and GpsLogger is opened, if i get back to Maps by long-pressing the home button the whole automation starts again, leading me to GpsLogger again..
Could anyone help please?
Thanks!

I downloaded Tasker the other day to accomplish one thing only. I wanted my wife to be able to get through to me whenever she called me. I work shift work so my phone is set to Silent at odd times when I am resting, so the various dings and rings don't interrupt my sleep. Fearful of her not being able to get a hold of me in an emergency, I set this up:
Profile: Priority Call (named by me)
Context: Incoming Call - Very simply, I used the magnifying glass to select her contact from my phone, and it input her name in the box.
Task: Silent Mode - Mode set to OFF
This profile checks all incoming calls and then turns Silent Mode OFF and allows the call to ring through. When the call is done, the phone returns to Silent Mode. NOTE: I also had to set up a separate task to turn the phone to silent in the first place. For some reason, Tasker would not recognize the phone as being in "Silent Mode" if I used the volume down button to put it in silent mode. So I just added a shortcut to the Tasker task of putting the phone to silent on my homescreen. Now when I go to bed, I hit the shortcut and I am able to be undisturbed until I wake again, unless my wife calls. I could see this being very useful for people with teenagers that are out or babysitters with children.
This task can also be useful if you sleep at defined hours, because you can set the phone to automatically turn to silent at X hour, and turn silent mode off at X hour. Just some ideas.
I am now searching for ways to completely automate the phone by making it turn on my GPS and Bluetooth when I am away from home, as well as turn these off and turn my wifi on when I am at home. Several attempts with no knowledge of this app have been unsuccessful so far. More to follow.

Sorry for the intentional misspelled app name ... Was trying out SEO.
The actual app name is "Silencify"

New Feature Added
On request from a user have added an Emergency Calling feature.
This lets an incoming call ring in case the same number calls you certain number of times in certain number of minutes. Obviously all blacklist numbers are ignored.
This can be configured from settings inside the app.
Also fixed some app crashes on HTC devices.
Added sliding menu when hardware menu button is clicked. This is just in initial stages and one more step closer to a cool UI I have envisioned.
Hope you like it and thanks to lot of people who have already downloaded and using the app actively.

Update: Emergency calling caused crashes on few devices. I have updated fix for this.
Sorry for troubles and thanks for understanding.

Coming Soon

2.automatic screen shade depending on light sensor % bye bye screen filter.
3. media selection popup upon headphone plug in.
4.pocket mode phone screen off and vibrate on when phone put in to pocket headphone jack first.
Feel free to share ideas I just started using it my self and don't know much.

I have that, except, it only disconnects if %WIFI !~ connect*.... prevents dropouts due to intermittent tower signal when I’m connected.
Some other stuff I have:
Battery low warnings: vibrate/notify at 40%, audible/nofify at 30%, 20%, 10% (if silent is off).
Sync newsrob news reader at 3AM every morning (while I’m sleeping). Turns wifi on beforehand and off afterwards. This takes awhile... better to take care of it while I’m sleeping.
Turn on Display Rotation for Apps that needs it (my webbrowser, youtube, etc). On exit task Display rotation is turned off (saves battery to keep it off).
At 10:50AM every morning it pops up a message asking if I want to reboot. If I do not respond, nothing happens. I think it’s good to reboot every once in awhile for general principle and this is a time when I’m likely to have my phone on my desk at work, but not using it. Also reminds me it’s almost lunch time. Also if I tap the widget it sends another text and updates the value on the widget based on response.
At 11:00 AM every morning, it sends a text message to AT&T asking for my data usage for the month. Upon receipt of the message, it is parsed and the result is posted to a widget label on my home screen so I know how much I’ve used this month. Note that 11:00AM central time is a good check, other times of day the info you receive from AT&T may not be up to date.
When data is on I place a permanent notification to remind me that it is on. Notification goes away when data is turned off.
When screen goess off and not back on within a short period, I turn data off (to save data and battery) and turn display rotate off.
Battery % display widget in my dock – update every 5 minutes while screen is on. Color changes depending on level (green 75 – 100%, blue 50-75%, yellow 25-50%, red 0-25%. This also uses Zoom widgets (works nice with Tasker)
Screen Brightness level display in my dock. Tap to pull up menu to change brightness level and adjust mode between manual and auto (auto is also based on Tasker sensing light level). If brightness level is set above 40%, the displayed brightness number turns red and I get a perfmanent notification (so I don’t leave it on high). This also uses Zoom widgets.
Flaghlight widget. Tap to start flashlight. Then it asks me every 30 seconds if I want to leave flashlight on... if no response then it turns flashlight off (prevents forgetting and leaving it on).
Keyguard management. Turns on after a time delay whenever screen goes off away from home. Turns off keyguard whenever I enter key pattern (so I’m either at home in which case it’ll stay on after the first time I enter key pattern, or I’m on the road in which case it’ll turn back off when my screen goes off). Zoom widget has one letter H or A indicating whether my phone thinks I’m home or away (based on cell towers). Zoom widget has another letter H or A indicating how my keyguard is managed currently (home behavior or away behavior). Both letters change together, unless I tap the 2nd A while away to toggle it to H.. That indicates I have disabled keyguard on the road. A red permanent notification also appears. This is an original approach that I conceived/built although I drew ideas from the wiki
Profile which senses when I have a meeting on my calendar and automatically adjust my phone to “vibrate” mode so there will be no noises coming from my phone during meetings. By the way, I also forward all my incoming work emails to my Gmail account, which promptly stuffs them in a special folder. That way 1- I can quickly check incoming work emails from gmail 2 – all outlook meeting invites coming into my work email appear on my gmail calendar which is reflect in my phone calendar and triggers the profile. I actually don’t have a good working pre-meeting 10-minute reminder yet. Gmail’s doesn’t seem to work for me. Maybe I will do that in Tasker when I get a chance. This is a copy of someone else’s idea.
Every night before I go to sleep I press a button tell Tasker I’m going to sleep and in the morning when I get up I press another widget to tel Tasker I’m up. The sleep button sets Display Rotation off, sets wifi off, sets silent mode on, checks if I’m on charger and reminds me to put phone on charger. The awake button sets wifi on, sets silent mode off, syncs my google accounts (synker).
The wakeup task also sends a text message to google asking for weather in my hometown. Upon receipt of response, it populates a zoom widget on my homescreen with the weather/forecast. Also tapping that widget updates the forecast (via text). This is an original that I conceived/built.
For the weather widget and at&t data widget that both receive text messages... upon receipt of appropriate text message I use auto-shortcut to take me to the associated message. That way after I press a single back key, the incoming message notification is cleared. I could press back using built-in Tasker functions which would make it fully automatic, but that requires leaving USB debugging on, which makes me uneasy.
I have an “app” built in tasker that generates a transparent scene over everything else displaying battery level and temperature. Useful in the single situation that you are using navigation in the car and possibly charging.. keeping a close eye on battery level and temperature. This is an original that I conceived/built.
I also have a floating compass that floats over everything else. Useful with Navfree, whose display doesn’t give any clue which direction is north while navigating (the top of the map points in the direction you are traveling which may not be north). Requires SL4a and Python. This is an original that I conceived/built, with help from others on the Tasker google groups to figure out how to get the compass direction in Tasker
I have widgets to remember a parking space and launch Locus Pro to navigate back. Copied from somehwere.
I have profile to take/email photograph from front camera when someone enters the wrong unlock code. Copied from Android forums.
I have a profile to give a small tone whenever a call terminates. That is very helpful if you spend a lot of time on weak connections. You can keep talking after a call is dropped if you dont realize it. And knowing there will be a tone at end of call keeps you from asking "are you still there" during longer than normal pauses in the conversation. Copied from Android Forums. Very useful to me.
I have a widget that tells how many Tasker tasks are currently running. Tapping on it lists the tasks. Usually it doesn’t stay above zero for long. It allows me to recognize if a task has gone haywire. It complements nicely the display of active profiles which are listed in the pulldown notification. This is an original that I conceived/built.

It's always interesting to see what others are doing.
I have that, except, it only disconnects if %WIFI !~ connect*.... prevents dropouts due to intermittent tower signal when I’m connected.
Some other stuff I have:
Battery low warnings: vibrate/notify at 40%, audible/nofify at 30%, 20%, 10% (if silent is off).
Sync newsrob news reader at 3AM every morning (while I’m sleeping). Turns wifi on beforehand and off afterwards. This takes awhile... better to take care of it while I’m sleeping.
Turn on Display Rotation for Apps that needs it (my webbrowser, youtube, etc). On exit task Display rotation is turned off (saves battery to keep it off).
At 10:50AM every morning it pops up a message asking if I want to reboot. If I do not respond, nothing happens. I think it’s good to reboot every once in awhile for general principle and this is a time when I’m likely to have my phone on my desk at work, but not using it. Also reminds me it’s almost lunch time. Also if I tap the widget it sends another text and updates the value on the widget based on response.
At 11:00 AM every morning, it sends a text message to AT&T asking for my data usage for the month. Upon receipt of the message, it is parsed and the result is posted to a widget label on my home screen so I know how much I’ve used this month. Note that 11:00AM central time is a good check, other times of day the info you receive from AT&T may not be up to date.
When data is on I place a permanent notification to remind me that it is on. Notification goes away when data is turned off.
When screen goess off and not back on within a short period, I turn data off (to save data and battery) and turn display rotate off.
Battery % display widget in my dock – update every 5 minutes while screen is on. Color changes depending on level (green 75 – 100%, blue 50-75%, yellow 25-50%, red 0-25%. This also uses Zoom widgets (works nice with Tasker)
Screen Brightness level display in my dock. Tap to pull up menu to change brightness level and adjust mode between manual and auto (auto is also based on Tasker sensing light level). If brightness level is set above 40%, the displayed brightness number turns red and I get a perfmanent notification (so I don’t leave it on high). This also uses Zoom widgets.
Flaghlight widget. Tap to start flashlight. Then it asks me every 30 seconds if I want to leave flashlight on... if no response then it turns flashlight off (prevents forgetting and leaving it on).
Keyguard management. Turns on after a time delay whenever screen goes off away from home. Turns off keyguard whenever I enter key pattern (so I’m either at home in which case it’ll stay on after the first time I enter key pattern, or I’m on the road in which case it’ll turn back off when my screen goes off). Zoom widget has one letter H or A indicating whether my phone thinks I’m home or away (based on cell towers). Zoom widget has another letter H or A indicating how my keyguard is managed currently (home behavior or away behavior). Both letters change together, unless I tap the 2nd A while away to toggle it to H.. That indicates I have disabled keyguard on the road. A red permanent notification also appears.

Would you mind exporting your profiles for download
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

Thanks. Exporting can be a little tricky for a variety of reasons. We have choice of two formats: human-readible text (which can't import into tasker) and tasker-readable xml (which resembles gibberish to humans). And what I've described encompasses a large number of profiles, tasks, and scenes. Could export a project tab on a few if you'd like. Sometimes importing a project tab causes bizarre conflict of same-named scenes ... at least I've had that experience.
So, if you could identify one or two that you're interested in, I can work on exporting/presenting those.
Meantime, some stuff I've already organized (?) for presentation:
1 - A rambling youtube video. First five minutes is sort of beginners guide to tasker using screen-off / data off profile as example. Next 4 minutes is rambling wander through some of my profiles. Last minute for some reason I decided to show off my holo launcher dock widgets. I did not yet have my tasker/zoom-based widgets for battery% and screen brightness in place yet at the time I made that video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il5EAKkMgGI
2 - Floating battery monitor (% and temp) - intended to float over top of navigation program while navigating/charging
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890710
By the way I have a new version of that, just haven't posted it there yet. Maybe a good job for someday.
Some general philsophy about Tasker fwiw: A lot of the things I do with tasker can be done with other programs/widgets. But I tend to think it's more efficient to minimize the number of programs in the category of widgets (which is continuously running process) and things that monitor for chage in state. They all use resources. Tasker uses resources as well but if we only use Tasker and Zoom for these types of things I think it's better. And sot of fun (that's probably the real reason). I'd have to say not more efficient in terms of time. For anyone considering buying Tasker I would mention it's not likely you're just going to grab a bunch of profiles and have them easily imported/running. There are often tweaks needed based on phone type and interaction among the various profiles.

Great video

Notification/Ringer Volumes
I just recently picked up a Verizon S4, and I'm trying to figure out how to make tasker "link" my notification volume with my ringer volume, so they will both change using the rocker. Any help?

Sorry, I wrote this question in the wrong device thread. I didn't notice that when replying from my mobile browser
Sent from my Verizon Wireless Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4 beta.

1) I have created a profile that whenever i am sleeping phone goes in smart slient mode, if some vip numbers call my phone is back in ringer mode.
2) during some duration of the day my phone speaks the name of the caller instead of ringing. if not a known caller than it rings.
3) integrated it with LMT launcher and made a profile like double swipe up and all volumes are at max. double swipe down all are at minimum.
4) wave your phone and it takes a screenshot. ( you can change the context to any thing.)
5) if i missed a particular number 5 times in continuity than send him a custom message.
6) Phone says "missed call" at regular interval e.g 30 min
7) Phone says "battery full" when charged, battery low alert when below 20%.
8) Phone says "AC/USB Charging" when plugged in AC and USB respectively. and at removal is says AC|USB removed.

That sounds like a pretty neat setup you have there

Inspirational quotes on home screen
I made a tasker profile to show inspirational quotes every hour on home screen.
For this I made a text file containing more than 100 quotes, each seperated by "/" for seperating and identifying an individual quote.
Then picking up any quote randomly and pushing it to "Minimalistic Text" tasker plugin.
For displaying on screen I used "Minimalistic Text".
Profile:
Profile: Insp Quotes
State: Battery Level [ From:20 To:100 ]
Time: From 06:35 Till 22:35
Enter: Insp Quotes // This is the task
Task: Insp Quotes
A1: Perform Task [ Name:Inspiration Stopff Priority:5 Parameter 1 (%par1): Parameter 2 (%par2): Return Value Variable: ]
A2: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:0 Hours:1 Days:0 ]
A3: Goto [ Type:Action Number Number:1 Label: ]
Task: Inspiration
A1: Read File [ File:/sdcard/Download/insp.txt To Var:%Insptext ]
A2: Variable Split [ Name:%Insptext Splitter:/ Delete Baseff ]

A5: Variable Set [ Name:%Inspsugg To:%Insptext(%Insptextno) Do Mathsff Appendff ]
A6: Minimalistic Text [ Configuration:insp = %Inspsugg Package:de.devmil.minimaltext Name:Minimalistic Text ]
I hope you will like the idea
Thanks

Hey,
Some of your profiles soun pretty awesome, is asking too much, for you to export them and share?
Thank you

need some help seeting up car profiles pls!
Hello, need some help setting up the following actions in Tasker. I use a tablet (Android 4.0.4) only for in car use and have some problems setting tasker profiles. It should be something like this:
For state power on (charging any) do the following tasks:
1. Disable keyguard
2. Issue a play command to the media app, only if music is not playing already (will come back why I need this latter on) - now I'm using Media Utilities plugin with Smart play (which should do that but it doesn't ... sometimes it sends the play even if the music is already playing, or will send the play command to the built-in media player instead to JetAudio which is the default set media player in android and in media utilities)
3. Turn GPS on, using now secure settings plugin - works great
4. Turn Bluetooth on - works
For State Power off (not charging any) do the following:
1. Turn keyguard on (enable)
2. Wait 12 seconds
3. IF keyguard on >>>
3.1 Stop media (using tasker built in media actions)
3.2 Disable GPS (secure settings plugin)
3.3 Disable bluetooth
3.4 System Lock
4 END IF
Everything works just great UNTIL ... I go in the car, turn the ignition ON ... the power ON profile starts than when I crank the engine, the car cuts the power to any accesories including car phone charger. The power off profile starts and waits 12 seconds before stoping music, gps, etc.
Than the car starts (before those 12 seconds run up) and the phone charger receives power, and the power on profile comes back. I have a higher priority for the power on profile so, the power off profile is aborted and the power on starts again ... but here the problems start: Either the music is stopped (because another play is issued from the power on profile, and the media app thinks it's pause even with smart play command from media utilities) or the default android player is started and the jet audio it's stopped because the play command is send to the build in media player app.
what I would like is
- a shure tested way for tasker to check if any media it's being played, and if it is, abort the play command (tried %MTRACK with flash but could not set it up to work, got the same problems as above)
- some other ideas how to hack, workaround, create a better flow in my profiles to avoid interruptions in those 10-15 seconds while the tablet's charger is cut off by the car, when the car;s engine starts up.
thank you

[APP][2.2+] Call Filter Alarm - Choose who can wake you!

Call Filter Alarm - Choose who can wake you!
Do you use your smartphone as alarm? Do you want only certain people to contact you while sleeping?
If you simply leave your smartphone turned on, you risk that anybody can wake you up, or... you use Call Filter Alarm!
Using this innovative app, you can define all the alarms you need with the possibility to specify, for every single alarm, who can call you, shutting up all other calls / sms notifications and intelligently manage wifi activation / deactivation, data usage, offline mode.
How it works:
- Define the alarm
- Choose who can call you (if needed)
- Before going to sleep, enable sleep mode
Your phone will ring only for who you decided. Other calls / sms will happen in silent mode and you will be able to see them as lost when you will wake up.
I think it may be useful for who, for example, works the night shift or is often away from home and wants to be able to receive, while sleeping, only calls from his dear ones.
In addition to the particular call and sms filters feature, using Call Filter Alarm you can:
- Intelligently manage wifi activation / deactivation, data usage, offline mode, silent mode with a single button: the sleep mode
- Personalize sleep mode as you want
- Set tone, volume and vibration for allowed call and allowed sms
- Set volume, volume increment, snooze, tone (music or ringtone), vibration for every single alarm in addition to application level
- Daily alarm repetition
- Incremental alarm volume
- Multilanguage (English and Italian now available)
It's simple, immediate and extremely effective.
Call Filter Alarm is available in english and italian, has been downloaded 4400+ times and its current average rating is 4.7/5 (92 ratings)

Thank you!

suggestion
can u make an automatic option like
enable automatic sleep mode from set hour to set hour (or wake up time)?
...bc there are times a sleep before to remember to activate the sleep option !

Finally someone has made an app for this!
I've been using tasker for this function, but I can't get that to function 100% perfectly.
I have some suggestions that would make the program perfect in my opinion:
- Tasker integration would be nice. Right now my 'sleep mode' is activated automatically when the phone is charging, if it's dark in the room and if it's after 10pm. It is deactivated when i press the 'stop alarm' button when my alarm goes off. It would be great if tasker could enable and disable your app's sleep mode as well.
- An option that when contacts on the white list call you during sleep mode, your phone does not ring, but your phone automatically sends a custom text saying something like: 'this person is now asleep and his phone is muted, you can wake him up in case of an emergency by texting the word 'alarm''.
When a whitelisted person sends you a text saying 'alarm', it triggers the alarm from the app. This way, a whitelisted person won't wake you up by accident.
Keep up the great work!

Pathbreaking, innovative and an awesome app!
Nice work bro, I too had been using tasker earlier, but you really made me overwhelmed by making this app,
P.S : Hope to see more greater app like this!

If I use an external app for my alarms (Sleep as Android) can I use this in conjunction with my other app?

This is awesome <3

I came to this thread to suggest a similar thing, but painy beat me to it.
It would really be awesome if one could preset an SMS being sent to the caller, with custom text.
My solution for emergencies would be for the app to allow the call to be heard if it reoccurs within some preset time. An option for an automated SMS like
"Your call has been silenced because... In case of emergency, call again within ... minutes and the call will be allowed to go through."
would be great.
Moreover, instead of whitelisting, being able to blacklist callers seems to make more sense, as people unknown to you are not likely to disturb you during sleep for trivial matters, in contrast to your closest ones.
Seems like a great app, although usage for some days will verify it's reliability. Keep up the good work!

Hi! Surely the automatic activation would be a useful thing and it would be much appreciated. The problem, however, is that the only source of "support" of Call Filter Alarm is advertising and not passing through the screen to activate the sleep mode, this source would be less.
I'm still considering the publication of a pro version (paid and ad free) which may contain, among other innovations of this type (eg widget), what you have requested.
Thanks for your suggestion!

not sure if sms back will be so great if some1 want to mess around call u like 100 times / night your phone will send back 100sms to him....and most off all i don' t wanna let ppl knows i sleep .
my suggestion it's if some1 who's not in your white list and he really want to talk with you he will try to call like 2-3 times repeatably only after second call, the call to pass thru and your phone should ring normally.
keep in mind it's just suggestions.

Btw, in some next future updates, can you modify and repolish the ui of it?

Use without alarm?
Is it possible to use this app without using the alarm? I have a standalone alarm clock I like to use, but would still like to use the features of this app. Thanks!

Now you can't. I'll think about it... You'd like to use the mixed tones of sleep as android instead of Call Filter Alarm's tones, right?

Nice App Thanks

App is pretty cool. But, was wondering, can you add a Do Not Disturb Mode, which is not connected to the alarm, and add a widget to turn it on and off.
I know there are many DND type programs, but few of them work correctly, if any. Yours does everything I need, except I don't need the alarm, so just being able to white list people to call me, would be great. Right now, I enabled an alarm that has no ringer or vibrate. When I want to DND, I have to open the app, enable the alarm, and the sleep mode. Now, that is not all that difficult or time consuming, and is definitely what I will do. But, if you can add a DND type function, and a widget, this would be ideal for me, and I think for many others.
Thanks

App is pretty cool. But, was wondering, can you add a Do Not Disturb Mode, which is not connected to the alarm, and add a widget to turn it on and off.

I don't like the fact that it's tied to an alarm. Maybe I'm in a meeting and I just want urgent calls to get through. I found another good program exactly for letting white listed calls through, the rest remain silent. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.auto.ring

Now you can't. I'll think about it... You'd like to use the mixed tones of sleep as android instead of Call Filter Alarm's tones, right?

I think he just wants to use your app without an alarm, just for filtering calls, and sleep as android as default alarm.
