[Q] Tasker wifi toggle scene issue - General Questions and Answers

First off, I have created a task that shows a scene for toggling Wi-Fi, data and sync on/off. The issue I'm having is, when I'm in an application, IE: YouTube, and want to switch Wi-Fi on/off, I drag my status bar down and click the toggles there, but once I'm back on my home screen and open my scene, the toggle will say the opposite. How do I get the toggles in the scene to adjust accordingly? Mind you, I'm somewhat of a novice with tasker and doing any sort of coding or variables is beyond my scope at the moment.
Also, as you can tell, I'm a scene junky. So I am making application menus that slide out and displays my favorite apps in a particular category. Now, I want to share it with people, but they may want some other apps to show up in that list. Is there any way to make my scene customizable by other users?
And finally, is there a way to use finger (swipe) gestures to open a scene rather than just the accelerometer? It opens scenes way too easily against my wishes.

Backlit Automatic Brightness

Hello,
It is pretty annoying to adjust the Brightness of the Touch Cruise.
Is there a Program that adjust the Brightness automatically?
Or maybe by a Day / Night Schedule.
Or at least toggling the brightness by pushing a button (camera for example).
Maybe you deleted the icon from your launcher tab, but there is a shortcut you can add back that'll cycle through 4 different brighness levels. I don't see this as an option for actual assignment to a hardware button though...
There are applications out there that allow you to map brightness control to a button. MVBacklight or something like that. Try searching in the forums you'll find it.
Maybe combine it with those apps from tytnguy which are
able to start/toggle command line apps by cell location and/or
scheduled. But I think its a bit tricky...

[Q] Live Toggle Tiles

The ability to toggle things on and off from the home screen have always been important to me. This is something I feel is major that WP7 doesn't have. I am looking for the ability to have a toggle switch to turn Wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, and other similar things on and off from the home screen. In searching the closest thing I could find is this:

If anyone knows about development of toggle switches or know if they are coming in the update that would be great. Thanks in advance.
Try attached file this contain toogle for.
airplane mode
wifi settings
bluetooth
data connection
location
Are these supposed to be toggle switches for the home screen or just open then settings for each individual application? For me this is taking it from three steps to turn Wifi on and off of only two steps. Thank you for the reply, and I absolutely love your registry thread, but I don't think this is what I am looking for. Please let me know if I am wrong.

I would like to see them in metro style. Simple white icons without the 3d effect.

No problem. You can do it yourself.
1. Rename the .xap file to .zip
2. Unzip the file
3. Open the unzipped folder
4. Replace the application and background icons with the icons of your choice (same size)
5. Zip all files again
6. Rename the new .zip file to .xap
7. Deploy
Personally I use Dinik Anastasia icons because on OMNIA 7 they look much better than the metro icons...

Not Switches
Once you go to settings and set each of these application you do not need a button on the home screen to get back to each individual setting. This is a waist of space for a home screen that is supposed to be clean. The switch would just turn it on and off from the home screen. I am not looking for a shortcut (and I know what one is), I am hoping to find someone working one toggle switches for the home screen.
What it would need to be is a program that runs a live tile. When the particular tile is clicked on the home screen it would have the program switch that particular connection on or off.
The look of the tile doesn't matter unless it is a useful tile.

better than this you don't get for the moment
I figured this when I searched and searched and couldn't find anything. I am hoping to spur somebody into working one this, or finding someone that already is. I was also hoping to find out if Microsoft was thinking about this.
What I would love is a one tap shortcut to 1 page with all the toggles. So instead of me going to setting- wifi - on I could go settings -on , this would apply for bluetooth, location, brightness, etc.
I swore I saw this app posted somewhere but so far all i could find are the individual app shortcuts.
PS If you're like me and actually use voice control all the time, I actually installed the wifi and location shortcuts but didn't pin them to the home screen I simple hold down the start button and say "Open Wifi" works like a charm!
I'm also waiting for a toggle feature. In fact its the only reason I haven't purchased a WP7 device yet.
As soon as there's an easy way to toggle data on/off I'm buying the HD7.
take a look .

The OP said 3 or 4 times that he doesn't want to have that, lucmar! And if you would read the first page you would see exactly that! He wants to have a toggle to switch it on/off! Is reading a post that hard?
Personally the live toggle tiles are a waste of space. My idea is to have the toggles in the menu bar that pops up when you press the volume buttons.
So you press the volume buttons, the menu pops up, you swipe left or right (same you get rid of notifications) and it brings up another part of the menu bar with access to all the common toggles.
The main advanage of this is that you can access the toggles from anywhere as the volume bar is OS wide so you don't have to quit your app/game to access the toggles unlike if you have live tiles.
This is a great idea and would be nice as an overall experience. This would take a lot of programming, and at the rate Microsoft is coming out with updates, this would not be done for another 2 or 3 years. That is why I can asking for a very simple program that turns on and off settings and has a toggle switch when pinned to the home screen. This would only take a day or two by an experience programmer. Anyone?

Well I don't know if MS reads this forum or if anyone at xda is even working on this.
That's actually a great idea. To swipe the volume bar to get comm manager toggles. Clean and simple

[Q] Minimalist Text Variables With Tasker

I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum. (Being as I am a new user since I set up this account just to ask this question, I can't really post to many other places anyway.)
So, I use an sms pop up application called Glowfly, which I love most of the time. But sometimes I hand my phone off, etc, and I want to quickly disable it so no pop ups show up randomly in the middle of things. There's no easy way to toggle the pop-ups without opening up the app and going into the settings.
So, I used minimalist text to make a widget, then used Secure Settings to make the on tap function toggle between enabling/disabling Glowfly. It works great.
But, what I would love to be able to do is to use the Minimalist Text variables to change the text from saying "On" to "Off" and back. Does anyone know how I could use Tasker or Secure Settings to check the state of Glowfly, to see if it's running, and then output "on" or "off" accordingly into my Minimalist Text widget? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
No one? I'll be honest, I've been at it for five hours straight now and it's getting me kinda mad. If anyone has any ideas...
No?

Custom Screen-off Gestures

I'm sure many of you have used and loved the ability to do simple gestures with the screen off and have some customization action occur. Does anyone know if there is any app/rom/kernel that allows you to make custom gestures to launch an app with the screen off, or at least has a lot of predefined gestures with the ability to launch an app? Specifically what I am trying to do is export tasker tasks as an app, and then use the screen-off gestures to launch that task for things like turning on/off/dimming smart lights around the home. It is obviously much more convenient to draw an 'O' on the phone and have lights turn on instead of unlocking the phone and drawing on an app like Gesture Locker.
If u already export your task into an app, u can simply go to settings, on the screen off gesture theres an option "draw O" and choose ur exported app. I did this to command turning on and off my yeelight in my bedroom

Shortcut for toggling Data Saver?

Does anyone know of a way to set up a direct toggle for Data Saver as a pull-down tile or a button on the home screen?
I like to use it as a do-not-disturb mode at work, with only WhatsApp being allowed to use mobile data in the background for my work group chat. That way I don't get notifications for emails, Instagram, Facebook, etc...
At the moment the best I've managed is a shortcut to the Connections menu through Sesame's integration with Nova Launcher, so I still have to navigate to Data Usage > Data Saver. It's a small thing to complain about but I like to streamline things that I use often and it'd be nice to have proper shortcut for Data Saver. Been trying Shortcutter as well but can't seem to find anything in the Action Tiles, System Setting Tiles or Custom Tiles sections.
