Greyscale toggle mode is available in the "Vision" submenu. I am not familiar with tasker but is there a way to activate that toggle with tasker when the battery reaches a certain level? I have direct access and power+vol up does it now but would like to do it auto

Yes. You need root. Then you can either use Secure Settings Pro or run a shell command:
settings put secure accessibility_display_daltonizer_enabled 1
so no go then on snapdragon version

Not unless root becomes available. You might look into some of the Auto Apps plugins by @joaomgcd .... He's got some clever functions that provide root-like actions for non root users. No idea if it would work for you but might be worth looking into if it is important to you.
I suppose i should feel lucky that I can use direct access for it at least. Power+vol up isnt too hard when my battery gets low(which is never with this thing) but just in case. I remember it was automatic with the s5 power save mode thats why I asked

You Don't Need Root....
You don't need root. You just need to grant Tasker the correct permissions using ADB so you can change secure/global/system settings. This feature was added recently.

The screen timeout modes only let you set various timeouts... but I'd like to have an easy way to make the screen stay always-on for when I'm in the car. It works all right for GPS apps because they force it, but google music still turns off

there are other ways to do it, but I use the app "My Settings Pro" to set the screen timeout to never, works perfectly.
Does it give you a way to do it as a quick toggle? Like I said, I don't want this always... just when I'm in the car.. and even so... something automated would be nice.

I made a dock shortcut to open the app with one click.
The app gives a screen with a bunch of toggles for settings: ringer mode>screen brightness>lock screen on/off>WiFi on/off>GPS on/off>Bluetooth on/off>AutoSync on/off>auto rotate on/off>screen timeout>Airplane Mode on/off>network mode etc.etc.etc.
I have used it in my last 4 phones, it is one of the first apps I always install after a ROM flash.
Another way would be to use widgetsoid and a screen timeout toggle to accomplish this. You can make it toggle pretty much any settings you want.

That option doesn't seem to work at times (that's why I didn't mention it)
Mine will still go out with that option selected at times.
That screen awake option seems to work for me.

I can't seem to toggle between high accuracy andere battery saving mode using tasker GPS toggle. I'm running stock 4.4.2 rooted using secured settings and helper alternatieve. The action doesn't toggle anything... Can any1 help?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
It was working for me using e-robot but experiencing some lock up of GPS disabling it on screen off event causing heavy battery drain. Using llama solved the problem so far even tough I don't know if some play services update took place.
Anyway I think secure settings is working fine in helper alternative mode.

It works fine for me using tasker, secure settings. And helper alternative. Uninstall secure settings and helper and re install and maker sure it's the new helper and not the old one. Old one don't work.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I did that several times, even uninstalled tasker. Do you have to set up something extra in secure settings? What action do you perform in tasker? Just GPS = on?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I turn off GPS on screen off and activate it on screen on. Just that

In a task I hit the + button, plugin, secure settings, configuration (the pencil in top right), helper actions, gps, then click on or off.
Looks like this (2) in the task, NOT the gps setting in tasker itself.
I'm working on permanently disabling airplane mode in a slightly customized ROM I'm working on. Essentially, I want nothing to change when a user clicks the airplane mode button.
This is on the Verizon Galaxy Tab 2 (sch-i705).
I'm hoping for a simple solution (i.e. deleting some module) that will disable the functionality behind airplane mode or adjust which radios toggle when airplane mode is enabled.
I'm not sure where to start - right now I'm slogging through an upacked system.img with no success, and haven't found anything in my xda/google searches. Ideas of what files I could remove or modify?
So far I've tried looking through existing modules to see if airplane mode is like wifi (ie has drivers or something that can somehow be removed). It was a longshot, and I didn't come up with anything.
Anyone have any idea what I could modify in the system image to adjust which radios airplane mode toggles?
Still haven't figured this out - anyone have any ideas?
Out of curiosity... why?

I'm working on designing an educational tablet that can be remotely managed (new content can be pushed, new apps can be added for the students, etc.). The issue is, if a student accidentally (or on purpose) turns on Airplane Mode, I would lose my connection with the tablet and be unable to interact with it, or restore it remotely. Not allowing airplane mode would be an easy way to avoid this problem.
It doesn't seem like there is an easy way to do this though.. I'm trying to sort out whether I could change the radios Airplane Mode toggles, or maybe change the UI so Airplane mode isn't offered as an option (right now it can only be accessed by pushing the power button, because I have access to settings restricted)
Any ideas?
That sounds like that solves your problem to remove airplane mode from the power menu.

Is there any alternatives ? I've been trying to find something that allows me to game without getting interrupted by notifications and phone calls.
Does the new 5.1.1 update includes interruption mode?

I stumbled upon Omni Swipe earlier today. I haven't actually used the Samsung version but I'm guessing that it's every bit as piss poor as the rest of their bloatware.
TBH it's turning out to be just the right side of just turning the ringer off. Alerts for banned apps still one though, buy in the form of tiny red dots in the bottom corner. Definitely a good one for gamers and for getting actual work done on the phone as well.

It's just a normal launcher. And it doesn't fix my problem.......
I reckon you're doing it wrong. I'm using it like an insecure Knox so that I don't get distracted when I am working.
It's also got some nice simple tools like a RAM cleaner and torch built in.
Surely anything more would involve muting phone calls and notifications?

I just set it up normally. Think you're right and it is just a launcher. I'd you turn offence notification sounds and include apps for notifications the red dot at the bottom notifies you.
Why don't you just turn off the sounds?
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Go to Settings-Applications -Applications Manager. Choose your conflicting app. Uncheck Show Notifications.
Once you've enabled Omni Swipe, the first time after that you open your game or whatever there's a pop-up at the bottom of the screen that offers to enable no interruption mode for that app.

Does anyone know how to get the screen to rotate to where the USB c plug is at the top. I've checked rotate in the settings and it rotates in both landscape positions but cannot get it to rotate in portrait? I use the pixel in my car and it sits on the angled dash but cannot hook up the power cord because it's on the bottom where it sits.Thanks

@jreink01 - Dude, I think the best way for you to do this would be to install a different launcher. I believe Nova Launcher will allow you to choose rotation angles of 90, 180, & 270...so pretty much everything you'd need to view your phone at whatever angle your cables require.

I believe so, you can always try it. Is there any specific your concerned about not rotating? I can try it for you possibly.

Not really any specific app, just would like the ability for them all to rotate if I need to open one up. If you can if you have nova launcher installed, can you check your various apps to see if it works in that launcher? Thanks so much.

sorry man, there used to be an option to allow rotation of 180° but I don't see it now. All I can get anything to rotate is 90°. Don't think I'm missing a setting but, I may be.

Hold your finger on the Home screen until the options open up -
Settings > Look & Feel > Screen Orientation
Set to Auto-rotate
You also have to ensure that in your system settings you have it set to allow rotation.
System settings > Display > When device is rotated
Set to "Rotate the contents of the screen"
I've done all that, still will not rotate, spoke to Google support, they are sending a update, specifically to my phone which they said should fix the issue.

Just to be sure, you've also checked the box under Accessibility settings to allow screen rotation, right?
Also, recomhub.com has an article on this that suggests checking to see if your accelerometer and gyroscope are working correctly. The dialer code is:
*#0*#
Under the service mode screen, tap on "sensors" and do a self test.
Their only other recommendation if your carrier locked you out of that service screen is to do a hard reset. That's also been known to fix the screen rotation issue, but at the cost of losing your data. So make a backup if you go that route.
That is checked under accessibility settings, I also tried the service menu, but was unable to get that to work. I'm on the sprint Network. After talking with Google support, they said that sprint would not have changed the service menu by using their sim card and activating the phone. Don't understand why that service menu won't work. I don't want to do a factory reset as it took me quite awhile to get the phone setup the way I want it. Thanks for your feedback in trying to help.

@jreink01 - interestingly enough, the Maps app rotated 180° for me yesterday. So, I'm guessing the determining factor is going to be whether or not the particular app you're using supports that orientation.
Edit: it only works or goes 180° during actual navigation.
