So, I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752377&highlight=wimax+led that discusses how to control the EVO's Wimax LED, and I've found another thread that explained how to use Tasker to trigger the Capacitive buttons (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8554277&postcount=12).
Using this information, I was able to set:
Missed text: Blinking turquoise
Missed Call: Solid Red
Missed Calendar Event: Solid Yellow
Which got me to thinking what else can I control this way? Here is the list of values I found for controlling all the EVO's LEDs (thanks to the posters of the above threads for the starting info):
First here are all the values that I was able to confirm.
Wimax LED
Current "brightness" modes it supports:
0 = OFF
1 = Two quick turquoise flashes
2 = One quick turquoise flash
3 = One slow turquoise flash
4 = One slow turquoise flash then one slow red flash
5 = One slow yellow flash
129 = Solid red on
130 = Solid turquoise on
131 = Solid yellow on
Location: /sys/class/leds/wimax/brightness
Amber LED
Current "brightness" modes it supports:
0 = OFF
1 = ON
Location: /sys/class/leds/amber/brightness
Current "Blink" modes it supports:
0 = Solid
1 = Fast Blink
Location: /sys/class/leds/amber/blink
Green LED
Current "brightness" modes it supports:
0 = OFF
1 = ON
Location: /sys/class/leds/green/brightness
Current "Blink" modes it supports:
0 = Solid
1 = Fast Blink
Location: /sys/class/leds/green/blink
(note you can have amber on with blinking green and vice-versa).
Flashlight
Current "brightness" modes it supports:
0 = OFF
1 = Top LED
2 = Bottom LED
3 = Both LEDs
125 = Low Power
126 = Mid Power 1
127 = Mid Power 2 (same as 3)
128 = High Power
129 = High Power Single Flash
Location: /sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightness
Screen
Current "brightness" modes it supports:
0 - 255 brightness levels
Location: /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
Capacitive Buttons
0 = OFF
1 = ON
Location: /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
If you have "Tasker" installed and have root access, install "Locale Execute Plugin" from the Market.
In Tasker, create your event, and select "Plugin" as the Task, then choose the "Execute" plugin.
Enter the following command in the textbox (substituting the value and device you want to trigger)
@! echo 255 > sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Important: You must "Test" the task once or twice and wait for the Superuser permissions to trigger, otherwise the task will not execute. You will need to do this for each task you create using this plugin.
One thing to note, using the commands above trigger a single event. If the system triggers an event that uses the LED you are using (e.g. charging the device) it will override your setting. However, you can also override the system trigger (trigger after charger is plugged in).
Setting this up correctly in Tasker, will allow you to do cool things like automatically turning off all LEDs when you start a Video, set your own alerts or trigger the flash if someone picks up your phone (to scare them), etc.
Feel free to add your own suggestions, or add anything I missed.
wow nice post!
Great job at defining the controls.
I found this post useful to me in turning on and off the button leds with one tap. - lol ( self promotion - since they are related )

Very nice and informative work, but for $16+ (Tasker $6.26, Locale $9.99 (required for the plug-in, according to info in the Market)) I guess I'll stand over this one.

You do not need to buy Locale to run these commands. You only need the Locale Execute Plugin, which is free in the Market. Most, but not all, Locale plugins are compatible with Tasker.
Also, you can download a beta copy of Tasker to try out for free. Go to this address and download the Market version:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta
I believe you can use it for 7 days before it asks for the order validation.
Oh and great post.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
and if you buy Tasker from the developer's site directly, you save a little more.
Tasker is incredible. Pent (the developer) built a similar app for the old Palm OS that I couldn't live without.
If you take the time to really learn how to use it, it becomes indispensable. Unfortunately, I have not really had that time yet, so I've just been dabbling.
Combing it with the "execute" plugin, gives you some amazing power.

the locale plug-in is free and tasker can use it.. thus you dont need locale.. tasker is amazing..
when i test the blinking ones, they dont seem to stop blinking... seriously, there is not an exit task for received text message and the wimax led wont stop blinking
you have to send another trigger set to 0.
What I did at first was had the screen on trigger reset the LED, but I noticed a slight delay on my device.
Instead I set the new trigger to a "New Window" Now, anything I tap on the device will disable the LED. It's been working great.
FYI - for the Flash trigger I mentioned, I set the screen brightness to a change from 0-4 and if I place my phone face down on my desk - then if anyone picks it up it will trigger the flash. Now all I need is a camera sound file .
is this right? because i can't get the amber light to stay on and the green light to flash..

I get an FC if I try two commands in the same window. Just create two Execute Tasks.
Also, keep in mind that the system uses the left LED
flashing green - notification alert
flashing red - overheat
So, you may lose control of these if something else comes up.

I also get a fc..
i tried to set the event "missed call" to make the wimax led stay red, but the left led would just flash green, not sure what i did wrong
Here are my steps..
create new profile and select "missed call" as event
set priority to highest and long press and select any caller
add task, select plugin, select execute and write this in the text box
hit test til i see allow super user, hit allow, hit test till the led comes on (red), hit ok
create another profile to reset the led to off.. select event, system (or ui; dont remember), new window
add task, select plugin, select execute, and write this in the text box
hit test til i hit allow for superuser, then hit test till the led goes off, press ok, then hit done
these are the two profiles..
now I call myself from another phone, let it ring and only the left led flashes green, once i have missed the call..

Anyway you may be able to post your profile settings so one can see how you setup Tasker to work as you did? I'm having some trouble on figuring out what events to trigger the button to flash and what to trigger to turn off the flashing. Thanks man Great work btw though!

I believe you have to set it to State- Missed Call, not Event- Missed Call. It's confusing, but Tasker treats Events and States differently. Events are single points in time, whereas States are ongoing (so you can have exit tasks). Here's my Profile, just import it and it should work.
Wow this is awesome! Great post, now my day will consist of messing with the phone!!!
Mine works fine as an event, but I couldn't get it to work as a state - the notification bar showed the state, but nothing triggered.
In any case, here are my profiles for messages, calls and calendar events.
Also, I left the "Caller" field empty and left priority at Normal.

thank you.
I'm having a hell of a time getting the capacitive leds to flash with a new sms... would one of you tasker pro's create a profile to flash the capactive leds when I have a new text?
That would be very cool of you.
Thanks.
they don't flash. you can only turn them on and off. I would not suggest trying to flash them using a loop in tasker - using software to flash the lights rather than hardware will be a much larger battery drain
Also, I don't know about you, but I cannot tell if they are lit unless I am in a fairly dark area.

One of my more useful ones is a set of Bluetooth controls. It has 3 core profiles and any number of time profiles that will turn Bluetooth on at a specified time and disable it after so many minutes with a few different conditions to handle active connections and such. This keep Bluetooth off for most of the day and only turns it on when I normally need it the most.

Would anyone be able to create a tasker profile to disable the LED notification during certain hours (for TouchWiz)? Example, turn off all LED notifications at 11pm, turn back on at 7am.

Try these out. The Disable Sync at night has the time component and prevents email and other Google sync items from being sync during that time frame (I have to leave my phone off silent for On-Call pages, but hate getting email notifications and such at 2am). With the below, from 11:30pm to 6:20am Sync is disabled. As a result, any notifications that do come in will trigger the other two profiles to get ride of the notification light. On handles the initial notification received the other turns the light back off if you turn the screen on the off again (normally the notification is reset and it would flash if we didn't add this extra step. The two that issue commands require Root. It would be best to manually run them once to ensure Tasker has the permissions it needs.
If you don't want sync disabled, then change the profile Active attribute in 'Disable Notify Light @night' to a Time range. Hope this helps.

Will try this out tonight, really appreciate your help and quick response!
Thanks for those great profiles, ViperRacer. I hope you don't mind if I ask you a quick question. You don't need to go to the time to make one out if you don't want to, but I've been trying to make a profile to disable the lock screen when I'm at home. I have it set to disable when I'm on my Wi-Fi, but it only seems to work 50% of the time. It'll be off for a while, then randomly turn on again. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks again!

I'd be curious to know what your Advanced Wi-Fi Settings were, specifically the 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep'. If it is set to 'Never' or 'Only when plugged in' it will turn off the Wi-Fi at some point while the phone screen is off, thus causing the tasker profile to stop running until the phone is woken up again which would happen second to you turning on the phone and being presented with the unwanted lock screen.
I would suggest setting that option to 'Always' and see if it yields better results.

I tried the profiles last night and unfortunately it didn't work. The auto-sync didn't shut off and the LED notification stayed on. I did run it manually to allow root so I don't think that was the issue. Any idea why it didn't work?

That's rather strange. The disable auto sync is one of the simpler profiles and should have worked. I hate to ask, but is the profile enabled (green check mark)? All three should be enabled at all times. Try modifying the profile and set the time range to be something that would force it to activate now and plug it into a power source. If you don't want the power source requirement (which is another possibility) just remove that context. I personally keep it in case I'm out late with friends so I continue to get email even if it is past the hour.

I also ran this last night.
In order for the profile to kick in it needs to be during the time specified and plugged in.
Once I plugged in my phone my sync turned off.
My red battery charge light did come on. Not sure if this stayed on the whole time or not. Later at night when I woke up I did not see the green charged light on.
At the specified time in the morning, while still plugged in my sync turned back on and I received my email messages.
So for me this worked well, but I will need to check to see why the red light stayed on. I would have expected the profile to kill this light too.
Thanks for these profiles they worked pretty good for me.

I had turned my charging light off within the first day of getting the phone so I've never actually tested that part. I would take a guess that there is no notification occurring, thus the profile isn't triggered killing the LED for charging. The Green LED is killed because we do get a notification in the bar for a full charge. One solution is to maybe add another couple of tasks in the Disable Sync At Night profile that waits for 10 seconds and then issue the command there to kill off that light. But thats only a guess. I'll play around with it and see if that would fix it.
Update:
I tested out this and it worked. Screen was off and within 10 seconds the led was shutoff.

2.) Wait - Seconds10
3.) Run Shell - Command echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/led/led_pattern Use Root
This will take care of the initial red charging light. As a note, the light in theory would come back if the screen was turned back on and off but the other profile triggered at display off will handle that condition. Adjust the 10 second wait as needed if your screen timeout is longer. May not be much of an issue though as the other profile should kick in in the event the screen stays on long enough.

Thanks, this information helped me to find a solution that works for me.
I added the Wait 10 seconds to the task Notify Light Off.
Added Notify Light Off task to the Disable Sync At Night profile
Changed profile Disable Notify Light, change the Profile Active to Disable Sync At Night (if I did not do this if I turn on the screen then back off again the light would stay on)
I think this is working perfectly for me now. Thanks again.
I have these (no order) I can think of:
1. power plug: turn keyguard off, keep screen on
2. wifi off at 10:30 pm in case I forget to turn it off (battery savings)
3. sync off 10:30-6am so I do not get emails and such while I sleep
4. on sunday's from 9-10:15 it mutes the phone while I am in church
5. from 11:45pm until 5:30am it goes into airplane mode (battery savings)
6. when Navi app is run, GPS is turned on, screen brightness is turned up, keyguard is turned off, screen stays on
7. BT turns off at 9pm (battery savings)
8. whenever BT initially syncs, a tone is played to tell me the phone is connected and ready
Hmm, that keep Wi-Fi on during sleep option didn't seem to help. Not sure what else it would be. Thanks for trying anyways!

There is a little known bug/feature of the S3. I found and saved this tip a while back. Needs to be done every time you reboot though.
WiFi Powersave
Using the phone dialer, dial *#0011# then press the menu key, then from the popup menu, select WiFi. You will see a button to turn off the power save mode. It will stay off until the phone is restarted, and this should allow control by Tasker to be more consistent. Press the back button repeatedly to get out of these screens.
Thanks for tips I was wondering why I couldn't get the lock screen profiles to work either. What if they were tied to cell towers near home?

My lock screen has randomly appeard on me as well.
Profiles:
Wi-fi on when in range of certain towers
lock screen off when connected to router
I seem to get the random unexpected lock screens after a rebooting, and thought I had it narrowed down to cycling tasker on and off a few times. I just started using tasker a couple days ago, will keep tinkering with it, let me know if this helps you at all.
I just started using tasker and I'm trying to create a (what should be) very simple profile.
I want to have my display brightness normally set to 36% on battery and 75% when plugged in.
It works very well, except that if I reboot my phone while plugged in, it will not go back down in brightness once i unplug it.
I simply set a "task" to set the brighness at level 165 when power source is AC. I don't see a selection for battery, just "any, AC or USB".
How do I get it to check if it's not plugged in to set the display brighness?

Try using the Invert option with Both AC/USB. It should fire when power is not provided by either of those sources.
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew if it's possible to make WhatsApp give me a sound notification only for the first message I recieve in a conversation, so that the rest are muted and I hear a sound only once. Because usually I recieve messages in bursts of five or so messages, and hearing the phone ring five times in 10 seconds is extremely annoying. I'd like to make it so that any time I get a message in a conversation, I'd hear the tone just once (for each conversation) and then nothing until I open up and read the messages. Thanks in advance.
+1 to this.
2 years and nobody ever found a solution. Are we the only ones annoyed by the constant beeping?
I also find it hard to believe why WhatsApp hasn't developed a feature like this in their app... Many people I talked to are also very annoyed by the smartphone vibrating and playing a notification sound 5 times in 20 seconds!
As a matter of fact, it surprises me that this post has so few replies.
WhatsApp could implement something as simple as: "Notify me only once in 5 minutes". I'm pretty sure it is very easy to implement.. Why don't they do this?
So yeah. Im late, but i think i did.
You guys know tasker app? Amazing thing.
So here we go.
First you need tasker app.
1. You'll create two variables in VAR tab, one if for counting the other one is to store the notification volume you're set in at all random moments that you can receive a text, you don't wanna restore your volume to a preset, if you put your phone on silece mode it needs to stay on silence mode after. So, i named mines "CountNot" and "ActualNotVol"
2. Creating a task, name it whatever you like.
Look for some engine symbol or options inside the task you need to configure the Collision Handling to "Abort New Task". So the code only run once until needed again.
The code goes:
>If: %CountNot EQ 0
>Variable Set: %CountNot to 1
>Variable Set: %ActualNotVol to (click on arrow and choose) %VOLN
>Wait: 3 seconds (For my notification sound complete, may vary)
>Notification Volume: Level 0 (Muting notification sounds)
>Wait: 1 Minute (The amount of time the notification will be muted, guessing the ****head will be done sending multiple text, may vary)
>Notification Volume: (click on arrow) %ActualNotVolume (Will restore the volume that it was before)
>Variable Set: %CountNot to 0 (So the task can be repeated next time)
Finish.
Go to profile, and create > Event> UI > Notification > Owner Application > WhatsApp
And select the task you just created.
Test it if possible.
I would appreciate a reply as feedback, hope it works for you too.

Playing With Notification LED
Original source (for MotoG) <<< make sure you read the blog article before commenting ....
dedicated Blog article for MotoE
It's always cool to know at a glance that your device is charging without the need of lighting the screen, here is how:
Requirements :
Moto E (tested on XT1022)
Rooted
SU rights granted
adb if you want to monitor all this from a computer
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, BURNT LEDs,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
in /sys/class/leds/charging/trigger we have these triggers available :
Code:
[none] bkl-trigger usb-online mmc0 mmc1 battery-charging-or-full battery-charging battery-full battery-charging-blink-full-solid bms-online
easy to change them using :
Code:
echo battery-charging >/sys/class/leds/charging/trigger
needs to set any value !=0 for brightness (LED is either ON or OFF on MotoE):
Code:
echo 1 >/sys/class/leds/charging/trigger
Moto E (is quite different than Moto G MotoG has two LEDs too, they are simply impossible to see):
If you pay attention, you can se that Moto E has Two little white LEDs soldered under the LED hole, the first one (left) is ruled by /sys/class/leds/charging and the second one (less bright, ont the right) is ruled by the /sys/class/leds/white.
/sys/class/leds/white/trigger, and /sys/class/leds/white/brightness configure the right LED and these settings are overridden has soon as a notification comes.
/sys/class/leds/charging/trigger and /sys/class/charging/brightness configure the left LED (the brighter one) and these settings are not overridden by notifications AND both can work toghether:
You can see the left one kept ON while charging (using battery-charging trigger) and the right one Blinking with an incoming notification.
It is time for the community to help, and we will find out a way to correctly dim the LEDs if possible.
For now, the best way is to set left LED (/sys/class/leds/charging/) for charging using dedicated trigger and keeping the right one to none and get both working together this way.

Set at boot:
WARNING : if you fail this, you may screw up your device ... (keep a backup somewhere)
Create a blank file and name it like 99charging_LED-blink
paste the following in that file :
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# enabling charging LED blinking while charging
echo "battery-charging-blink-full-solid" >/sys/class/leds/charging/trigger
echo "1" >/sys/class/leds/charging/brightness

Paste 99charging_LED-blink there
set permissions as -RWXR-XR-X
Open terminal emulator, and type :
Code:
su
sh /etc/init.d/99charging_LED-blink
Plug it to charger, it should start blinking ... if not, make sure everything is correctly set
Reboot
Enjoy!

@matmutant Epic discovery sir.. :good:
tried this in trickster mod led control... but since the left one is so bright it overrides the indication of the right..i.e the change in the blinking intensity is not visible until observed closely...

In fact, you should use the following :
Code:
echo battery-charging-blink-full-solid >/sys/class/leds/charging/trigger
This way the brighter will blink during charge, so the notification LED will be visible too (that's not the same blink pattern so it gives an irregular blink feeling)
Of course, i have no idea why there are 2 LEDs, and if lighting the brighter one will burn it or not : i'm going to add a disclaimer to OP since this mod has potential consequences on Hardware.
Thank you for your report, may i ask you your device and ROM?

same results on cm11 m12 and stock 4.4.4 in XT1022
For whose who asked :
I was able to show that our MotoE has 2 LEDs (until now it was only a high suspicion) and that they are really White and not mis-configured RGB.
Here is the in-depth proof.
If only we could change their color.

Is this working?
Because i have planned to make app for this.

Sure it works
Two steps are needed to set up each LEDs :
The Brighter One:
Code:
echo battery-charging-blink-full-solid >/sys/class/leds/charging/trigger
Code:
echo 1 >/sys/class/leds/charging/brightness
The 'notification' One (better keep it to trigger=none, so it will keep its role of notification LED), but if you wanna play with it:
Code:
echo battery-charging-blink-full-solid >/sys/class/leds/white/trigger
Code:
echo 1 >/sys/class/leds/white/brightness
Contrary to MotoG, i couldn't dim this LED by setting 0~255 for brightness
There might be a way to trigger flash LED when getting notification, but this is not for Moto E either
if you make an app for this we could share this thread as co-contributors and in-depth study these new possibilities
If we can change colour, it will be too good

didn't you read this? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57039807&postcount=7
btw here is the latest discovery :
Using "bkl-trigger" as */charging/trigger allows you to get the LED on as long as the screen ("bkl" stands for backlight)
Code:
echo bkl-trigger >/sys/class/leds/charging/trigger
Just because having this feature working at boot is soooo cool xD

The blinking pulse is Hardcoded, that means end-user cannot modify it, though some work in the light Hal should both give hability to dim the LED and control its pulse frequency (no idea if it will really be userspace configurable or not then)
@dhacker29 had done something related for MotoX a while ago :
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/57550/
However, that's not part of my skill range :cyclops:

Exactly, buy only for the notification LED (the one we can dim, under the rule of /sys/class/leds/white), not for the charging LED (/sys/class/leds/charging)

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...
Cleaned flashed oxygen now works
Thanks

Need some help...
Trying to use Tasker to create an action to the 4636 Hidden Menu, so then can export it to an app for quick access.
Was originally trying to do it the phone but didn't work...
Right now I'm trying:
System > Send Intent
Action: android.intent.action.MAIN
Package: com.android.settings
Class: com.android.settings.TestingSettings
Still nothing though
Thanks

Tasker for dark mode?
I'm wondering if Tasker can be used to turn on dark mode on the Oneplus 2 at a specific time of the day. What task option do I use?

I did the same with Google Maps..
PROFILE:
App > GMaps (os Waze)
ENTRY TASK (GPSMax):
Plugin > Secure Settings >System+ Actions > Location Mode > High Accuracy
[Flash "High Accuracy GPS enabled"]
EXIT TASK (GPSMin):
Plugin > Secure Settings > System+ Actions > Location Mode > Battery Saving
I always have battery seving location ON, so I just need to turn on High Accuracy while I'm using GMaps.
You have to install Secure Settings plugin and enable its XPosed Module

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:
