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.
How long did it take you to develop this 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.

Anyone finding success with Tasker getting GPS control working on their Nexus 5 (Android 4.4)?
Tasker v4.1
Rooted
Secure Settings Pro/Helper
Example:
Profile>Application "GoogleMaps">New Task ("GPS On")>Plugin>SecureSettings>Edit>HelperActions>GPS>On>Save
ExitTask same as above but GPS>Off
When I launch GoogleMaps I can see Tasker working, but from within Tasker I see an error: "An error occurred while executing Action:GPS"
Any suggestions? Related to "Location Mode" setting approach with "High Accuracy", "Battery Saving", "Device Only" options?
Thanks!
I solved this problem using Helper Alternative in Secure Settings (last option of Helper tab in Secure Settings)
Now with "gps on" action you switch from battery saving mode to high accuracy, and vice versa vith "gps off".
You can also use the action to enable/disable the entire location service but in that case every time you want it on it shows an annoying google location consent disclaimer

Where is the option for battery saving mode or high accuaricy? I set it up only for Location services and the google location consent appear.
Also, is it possible to set it off in another way? because if I click in Tasks button in my phone, it suddenly turns gps off although Maps keeps running in the background

you can switch between battery saving mode and high accuracy toggling the gps option:

I use a workaround, I have set tasker to wait 20 seconds before disabling gps when i close apps that need location services, so when I switch to another app it doesn't turn off gps immediatly. I don't know other methods to make tasker consider that the app is running in the background

GPS or locational services turning on solution
I created this tasker for if my phone got lost, but could be used for the Google Maps apps or Photo geotagging. This is for phones that are locked and require the google consent notice to be accepted.
Profile: recieved text "lostphone"
Task:
Secure settings: pattern lock disabled
Secure settings: wake phone
WIFI on
Mobile Data on
Secure settings: Location Services Enabled
Wait: 2 seconds
Dpad: Right repeat x2 (this is because the first time it doesn't work)
Dpad: Press repeat x1
Wait: 2 seconds
Secure settings: Pattern lock enabled
Secure settings: lock device
this makes the phone vulnerable but it only takes seconds for the phone to relock itself

Hi,
I just installed tasker app on my Galaxy S7 Edge.
I tried to create a task to switch on GPS when running Pokemon App and then switch off once app is closed.
Task:
1. Launch App
App Pokemon Go Data %LOC
I run the task, as expected, it opens pokemon go app and 4G(gps) icon appears on the upper-left corner of my phone. But the icon won't disappear when I manually turn off the Location on Quick Settings.
Please help how to restore Location icon on-off.
Thank you
Disable google maps and location provider and enable them when you want rather than when google thinks you should
Required:
Tasker
Secure settings (free - but consider supporting through a donation because this makes tasker even more awesome)
How to:
Enable secure settings helper
Profile 1:
Profile: screen off & variable - Nav = 1
Task:
plugins/secure settings/maps disabled (user)
plugins/secure settings/location services disabled
variable set Nav to 0
Profile 2
Profile: apps/navigation & waze (or whatever other gps apps you use)
Task: GPS on - plugins/secure settings/GPS enabled
Exit task: GPS off - plugins/secure settings/GPS disabled
Tasker task (you need to use this when you want to use nav (or whatever GPS app)
Unfreeze maps
plugins/secure settings/GPS enabled
plugins/secure settings/location services enabled
task/wait 4 secs
plugins/secure settings/maps enabled
variable set - Nav to 1
I have created this how to because several members have shown interest when I have spoken about it - this is a very rough and ready guide and I'm not sure that there isn't a better way to take back control of maps/location services but this works for me and has done for quite some time. I am very happy for people to add their own suggestions to improve this concept or let me know if its not needed because it is posted else where -I searched and couldn't easily find anything.
I use other bits and bobs also and will include these as options as and when I get time to update this thread, I will also try to make this how to a bit prettier as I get time but for now the instructions suffice because they work.
I hope some people find this useful and if not don't use it
Feel free to ask questions here and I will do my best to help - I do this because so many kind XDA'ers have helped me so I like to try and give back what little I can

So it's just not enough to turn off gps and location services?
I have something similar, yet different. I noticed that I would sometimes use Maps, switch to a different app briefly, then switch back, which caused the GPS to ping-pong inefficiently, so I added a little timer :
Context:
Map app
+
Screen On
Entry task ("Location On"):
Stop Location Off task
Secure Settings/Location Services enabled
Secure Settings/GPS enabled
Exit task ("Location Off"):
Wait 10s
Secure Settings/Location Services disabled
Secure Settings/GPS disabled
I realize my current version doesn't have the freezing, but I figured the timer (one should customize the time!) might be of interest. It's not too hard to mix and match the two.
Also, I recommend using the Disable Google Network Location Consent Xposed module with this. The alternative is using dpad to take care of the dialog that comes up when you activate Location Services:
Input action: Dpad, Right, 1
Input action: Dpad, Click/(Press?*) 1
*not sure about the English command in Tasker.

That's really interesting, I have had similar glitch and your method send to be a good solution using timer. I used to use xposed module pre 4.4 but km seems to change something and xposed disable network location consent do toast no longer works. I am really interested in your other solution - using Dpad - please could you expand on how to do this?

Sure. I didn't invent it, I found it somewhere else.
If the dialog is still the same in 4.4, the button selected by default is the left one, but you want to click the right one.
So, in the task listing:
+ > Input > DPad > select Right in the menu,
go back to the task
+ > Input > DPad > select Click/Press in the menu
The text export for Location On:
Code:
Location On (64)
A1: Stop [ Avec erreur:eek:ff Tâche: ] Si [ %BATT < 6 ]
A2: Stop [ Avec erreur:eek:ff Tâche:Location Off ]
A3: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Location Services Enabled Paquet:com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin Nom:Secure Settings Délai (Secondes):0 ]
A4: Secure Settings [ Configuration:GPS Enabled Paquet:com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin Nom:Secure Settings Délai (Secondes):0 ]
A6: Dpad [ Bouton:Droite Horaires de répétition:1 ]
A7: Dpad [ Bouton:Appui Horaires de répétition:1 ]
edit: forget about the export above, it's localized (French) and it got mangled when I first posted it without the (code) tag.
The last two lines are only for people who don't/can't use the XPosed module. I seem to remember you need to be rooted to use Dpad.
(I don't trigger Location when the battery is weak, hence the A1 - I hadn't mentioned it.)
Does the Tasker mod above work with Android 4.2.1 or 4.3?
As far as I know the Secure Settings plugin only allows location services to be toggled on 4.4+.

It always used to work for me on 4.2.x onwards, don't know about 4.1 (that seems a very very long time ago now )
BTW: since kk has matured, and ROMs /kernels become much more stable I no longer have the need to kill maps/location provider since my system tends to take care of itself nicely with my set up and I always have plenty of power left over at the end of the day (not that much difference with everything being killed), actually I'm quite enjoying what Google has to offer nower days, it's quite useful . Maybe if I was ever going away and not be near a power source for some days I might consider locking it down tight.
Thought I'd just share this as I was really paranoid about Google power drain in the past until a dev whom I respect said she used to do the same but doesn't have the need anymore - I was amazed to see she she was right (at least for newer devices )
Hi,
Has anyone succeeded in creating a Tasker profile with 4.4.2 that disables/enables location services automatically without having any confirmation dialogue to click on and without having to install xposed?
Please advise, thanks.

Jim Silver,
Thanks for your reply! Just to confirm, you able to disable/enable location services without installing xposed just root and e robot, and no toast notification?
Also, how would you rate e robot in comparison with Tasker? Is it safe to install?
Lastly, I'm not sure why Tasker can't do this either I'm baffled.

E robot is good, very good dev - author of widgetsoid which I have been using for years
Sorry, I may have been a bit confusing, what I have set e robot to do is to change the modes of location from battery saving to high accuracy and then back again to battery saving. This is working well for me with my set up.
Hi fellow XDA members, I just came across this awesome app called Tasker. I am still trying to figure it out and learning about it but i know it got huge potential to automate our devices. Many of you must be experts in using it. So I created this thread for all to share their best and favourite Tasker profiles for OnePlus 2. Looking forward to see some wonderful ideas to automate our beloved OnePlus 2.
tasker is not device or rom specific at all, hence i don't think that people ( experienced users ) who us tasker in a sophisticated manner would read and post much in this thread, there are dedicated tasker thread. just stumbled in to see what tasker profiles (tasks) would be especially for the OP2 and as suspected, there are none yet.
I've been looking for a way to use the fingerprint sensor, to secure certain apps, such that only I can access them with my fingerprint. I haven't succeeded yet, so if anyone has an Idea I would appreciate it.

That's a great idea. Experts, please shed some light on this if it's possible or not.
I don't own a OPO, but I imagine the profiles I run would work on any android. I've only got a few at the moment, some I ditched because I no longer had a use for them since getting on PAC ROM.
Current profiles are:
ClearCache. Autolaunches the Fast Cache Cleaner app everyday at 6:00PM. The app has no UI, so it doesn't interfere with what I'm doing at the time and just quietly clears cache in the background.
LowerMediaVolume: When headphones are plugged in, media volume gets reset to 2. Got sick of scaring the pants off myself when I'd go to listen to music and had forgotten my media volume was maxed out...
TurnGPSOnWhenWazeIsLaunched: I use Waze as my navigator, so I have it set to automatically turn GPS on (through the Secure Settings plugin) when the app is launched. Also included an exit task so once I leave navigation, GPS will shut off as well.
BirthControlTxt and CleaningReminder: They're similar profiles for my bad memory. Everyday at 11:45PM, my phone sends me an SMS reminding me to take my pill (I also have an alarm for this set at 11, this alert is a fallback just in case my alarm goofs). CleaningReminder is set to go off every Monday, but I only clean the factory every other Tuesday. So I set the cool down period to every 13 days, and hopefully that will 'disable' the alert every other Monday. I just made that one so I haven't gotten to test that. In the past, I also had an AutoReboot profile to reboot the phone everyday at 7AM, but I haven't gotten ballsy enough to try it since switching to a somewhat unstable ROM

Certainly.
Profile: Application/Waze
Task: Plugin/Secure Settings/System + Actions/GPS/Set ON
Exit task (to create exit tasker: once you have built the above Task, go into your profiles, expand your Waze profile, and long press on your task, then select to add an exit task): Plugin/Secure Settings/System + Actions/GPS/Set OFF.
Results may vary from device to device. This profile worked great when I had a Jellybean stock ROM, now I'm running PAC on 5.1 and while it does work, it occasionally will put my GPS on 'device only' instead of high accuracy, so for reliablity I just toggle GPS myself in my notification bar until I think or hear of a way to do this more reliably in Tasker.
I did it that way but wasn't working...

Did you try putting a 1 second Wait at the beginning? Maybe the phone just needs some time..
And use a Flash in order to see if the profile is fired
How do I do that? Can you please give the exact options to set?

Before your A1 do:
Alert > Flash > "GPS fired" (and check the long option)
Activity > Wait > 1s
I can't find activity...
Anyway, the profile is activated but my gps doesn't change to high accuracy....

My phone is waking up automatically to change lock screen picture every few minutes. It used to do that every few hours and now its happening every few minutes. It there a way to fix this ?
I am using magazine unlock and have latest OTA B190.

Try to investigate problem. There is something what does not allow phone to sleep and wakes up periodically.
What specific apps did you install?
Go to settings / battery and look up for draining apps.
Use alternative apps like gsam battery monitor or similar
Additionally, go to settings / screen lock & passwords / magazine unlock and turn off option "auto update over WiFi"
Is there a Bluetooth device such as a Huawei Band nearby?
Settings -> Display -> Wallpapers
Check "interval" number and change accordingly.
However, screen shouldn't wake up from this.

I have disabled magazine unlock screen also not changing wallpaper automatically. There is no notification, it looks like as if phone is waking up to change wallpaper.
Ended up doing factory data reset. Everything is back to normal. Not sure what was going on..
