Hello all,
so i have no idea how to use tasker. I have a Droid Maxx unrooted and i want to be able to put an icon on my home screen to lock/unlock and start my car. How do i do this with tasker? All i can get it to do so far is open the app.
Thanks for the help,
Eric
I would also love to see a way to automate the auto start.
I would be willing to pay for this or an App-Factory created app that will let me use the new Google Now API and auto-voice with my Moto X to say "OK Google Now, start my car".
I can't figure out how to get tasker to simulate the button press within the app.
If anyone would like to make some money, they can PM me and we can work out the details.
my 2 cents
Why dont you just to the autovoice profile ---Load app, input tab command, wait 2 seconds kill app..
seems to me the way to go

OK I am al so a noob but I guess this video should help just replace Pebble watch with the Viper app and instead of Autovoice create a profile with time and date state https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NiOoSZz3oA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for an app that can provide scheduled reboot on my phone. My phone is rooted. There are some apps out there that only kill all processes, but I want an actual restart of my phone. Any suggestions? Thanks.

the only one I've seen or heard of that can do that is called Tasker and its 7 bucks on the market (have to be rooted also)... in defense of the price it does seem like it provides some nifty options
Tasker is too complicated for me. I tried learning but always got lost.

I was wondering if any developers would be willing to look in to the Moto Assist app, I know there's a few of us that would like to be able to toggle the driving functionality on and off at will.
I work from home programming, so it's great to be able to just vocally tell my phone to read me texts, or answer calls... but then I'd like to be able to turn it off when I go out to dinner haha. I've already tried work-arounds like forcing car mode on, or downloading other apps. Nothing works as well as the stock Moto Assist app, but unfortunately it only works when I'm driving, it must pull from the GPS.
Anyway, if someone could look into this that would be awesome, it's a bit beyond my ability regrettably. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Like being able to say.. "okay Google now. Turn on moto assist"

Jeez, this is quite a shock coming from the Galaxy Nexus. I didn't realize developers for this phone would be so sparse.

No kidding. :|
I'll see if I can get around to decompiling the APK today and poke around. Hopefully I can bypass the driving check at worst and just have it always on, or always off.

I thought of this one too
Look at these weird permissions assist has maybe we just need an app with these permissions

EDIT
New finding in SmartActionsHanashi.apk ... there's a service com.motorola.hanashi.CommunicationMediatorService (my guess on which service it is) and I think (I dont do much reverse engineering) we just need an app to activate the service after we edit the SmartActionsHanashi.apk to make the service exported (it is false ATM)...
I would try it myself but with no root I cant reinstall the SmartActionsHanashi.apk
Edit like 4
SmartActionsHanashi.apk also has all of the right resources. so i am 90% sure that this is the apk we are looking for.
If anyone would like to try my idea PM me, you WILL need root.

In all fairness, it's a completely different situation. I know with my Droid DNA it took MONTHS to see anything other than slightly modded stock ROMs.
I'm sure the Moto X community will pick up in the next few months but that being said i'll probably get a Nexus 5 to satisfy my urges.

New development assist app uses new modified smart actions app and there are rules in here that correspond to assist actions but using the ones they have all I can do is confuse the phone..... There are also strange actions that don't do anything except if in the driving sleeping meeting actions ....in the pictures I'm sitting at my desk but in the status bar you can see I'm "driving" but no texts are read and music didn't start either....
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk 4
Edit the command i got to open the assist engine is
adb shell
su? idk i just used it
[email protected]:/ # am start com.motorola.contextual.smartrules2/.app.AboutActivity
AOV is Touchless Controls
I believe LED is Active Notification
use with caution i probably messed up my assist just now
Is anyone still working on this by chance? The only thing about my Moto X that I wish was different is having the ability to switch having the phone read my texts aloud on and off at will. I'm surprised that such a useful feature is limited to only driving when there are so many situations where it would be useful. Being able to do this without needing root access would be ideal.
This would be very useful and definitely be awesome for a work environment.
I am going to try and do it again. I have some new ideas on how to do it!
Will post in here and make a new thread if profit is achieved :fingers-crossed:
I would defiantly donate $10 for this.

Hey Everybody,
Basically I want my phone to connect to the WiFi when in certain locations (eg. Home, friends house), and disable WiFi when out and about. Same goes for when I'm not at home for mobile data. I want it to enable mobile data when I'm out and disable WiFi when I'm out. I've tried a few apps, like tasker, but it was too advanced for me. Also I've tried condi, but it didn't work too well. Any alternatives you guys have? Thanks in advance. <3

Trigger is a good app. You might have to pay for the full version to get location based stuff though but it was worth it for me. There is also Llama location profiles that I havent used in a long time but it worked good when I had it.
Tasker, Baby! It was too hard in the beginning for me too, but I stuck it out, and now, couldn't live without it.

I can second that it's hard in the beginning but after a while it gets better and there's so much you can do with it!
I think there's an app called better wifi which has options like u want

Llama is easy to set up and free for all features. Uses cell tower locations by default so it won't use any battery even for location based tasks.

That's another good app with unlimited possibilities, you'll catch on fast to it. At first it looks like alot but once you read a few how to's it's fairly easy. Be sure to download "Secure Settings" also for tasker.

Yeah, np it took me a while to figure out I needed Secure settings in the beginning when i was using tasker to be able to enable/disable gps etc. I had tasker set as soon as I opened anything like Google maps to enable gps and when Google maps was closed for say 5 minutes it would disable gps.
Why are you enabling and disabling Gps?

Leaving gps on kills the battery especially back when I was doing it, I was using a Epic 4g Touch

Hi!
I´m looking for a good (and preferable free) app that keeps the phone unlocked when the SW2 is connected via bluetooth.
Thank´s for any advice!
Try skiplock.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benhirashima.skiplock
Not affiliated with this app...I use it with my home WiFi and smartwatch 1... Have to enter pin once... And as long as smartwatch stays connected you don't need to enter pin again

Yeah skiplock works well but unfortunately is a bit expensive. I was debating whether to buy it but I'm hoping for a cheaper or free alternative

Problem with this software or the tasker BTNear function, is the battery consumption it requires to track the device.
Here is an alternative solution i made here that take virtually no battery, and root is not needed.
The trick is that it will not track the device itselft, but the notification Android make when the device is connected/disconnected.
here's a step-by-step mini guide to use tasker and smart connect to enable/disable lockscreen
hope it helps
cheers

Nice idea, however smart connect refuse to add action with low energy Bluetooth devices (Sony smartband for example)
A bit stupid because it is smart connect that notifies me if my smartband is connected or not.
