Tasker Tutorial: Set Music Cover as wallpaper while playback
Please note: This is my first tutorial, so please be patient with me
In this tutorial I'll show you, how to use tasker to set the cover of the currently played album as a wallpaper and change back to your normal wallpaper when playback stops.
Requirements:
Of course you need tasker and you have to bee rooted. Furthermore you need the Locale/Tasker execute-plugin Link.
You also need to have the cover of your music albums as a jpg called "cover.jpg" in the corresponding folder, otherwise it wont work (since i didn't figure out, how to extract the cover from the id-tag )
Tasks:
You need to create two tasks in tasker: one to load the cover and one to unload the cover. For those tasks you have to define some variables, which may interfere with variables, you allready set...if this is the case, rename them and you should be fine.
Creating the first task – load cover:
condition: variable set = %MTRACK
1. read line | file: songpath | to varibale: %TEMP
2. execute-plugin command: @! lsof -p $(pidof mediaserver) | grep -m 1 mp3 | awk '{print substr($0, index($0,$9))}' /sdcard/song
3. wait: 1sec
4. reade line | file: song | to variable: %file
5. test | type: file basedirectory | data: %file
6. write file | file: songpath
7. reade line | file: songpath| to variable: %FILEPATH
8. stop | if: %FILEPATCH ~R %TEMP
9. go to action | no: 2 | if: %Filepath ~R /mnt/sdcard/EOF
10. choose wallpaper | file: %Filepath/cover.jpg
11. set variable | name: %WALLPAPER | to: 0
12. delete variable | name: %TEMP
Creating the second task – unload cover:
condition: variable deleted = %MTRACK
1. choose wallpaper | file: path/to/your/wallpaper.jpg
2. delete file | file: songpath
3. delete file | file: song
4. set variable | name: %WALLPAPER | to: 1
Notes:
For me, this works fine most the time, but when I reboot my device and start playback, the wallpaper wont change, which seems to be a problem with the las entry in the mediaserver. If I chose another album, everything works fine again. If someone knows whats causing this or how to prevent this, I would appreaciate the help very much.
Recommendations: Depening on how fast the execution-plugin recieves SU-permissions, you might want to add some extra waiting time between the steps, otherwise you might get a EOF message and the cover won't load.
Tip: If you youse SuperSU, I would recommend you to disable notifications for the execute plugin after testing and setting things up, so those popups won't annoy your music listening.
Lockscreen: To archieve the look of the lockscreen on the right side of the picture, I used widgetlocker with minimalistic text and phantom music controls, which will only show up, when I touch them.
Any feedback is welcome.
Cheers

Here i attached those tasks as xml for you, maybe this helps a bit.

Cameras from CM10.2/AOSP with SD support and geotags/timestamp in Exif

upd:The problem below affects some devices like Motorola Razr or Galaxy S3 Mini and is caused by camera driver.
Hello. Recently i've been crying all around the internet that camera doesn't include gps info in exif tags.
Nobody helped me, so i built camera from source in android studio. Used xmpCore and mp4parser.
13-08-15: Added 2 lines in PhotoModule.java:
Code:
[COLOR="silver"] exif.setTag(directionTag);
}[/COLOR]
if(mLocation != null)
exif.addGpsTags(mLocation.getLatitude(), mLocation.getLongitude());
[COLOR="Silver"] mActivity.getMediaSaveService().addImage([/COLOR]
Also changed everywhere
Code:
import android.[COLOR="Silver"][strike]support.v8.[/strike][/COLOR]renderscript<...>
And in VideoUtils.java:
Code:
[COLOR="Silver"]IsoFile out = [/COLOR](IsoFile)[COLOR="silver"]new DefaultMp4Builder().build(movie);[/COLOR]
UPD 13-08-20: user The_ERROR asked for date/time stamp in exif, so i updated the app. PhotoModule.java new changes:
Code:
79a80
> import java.util.TimeZone;
864c865
< if(mLocation != null)
---
> if(mLocation != null) {
865a867,869
> exif.addGpsDateTimeStampTag(date);
> }
> exif.addDateTimeStampTag(ExifInterface.TAG_DATE_TIME, date, TimeZone.getDefault());
UPD 13-08-22: No more crashes on clicking "Show on map" menu item if google maps not installed. GalleryUtils.java:
Code:
284a285
> if(!checkActivityFound(context, mapsIntent)) throw new ActivityNotFoundException();
291c292
< context.startActivity(mapsIntent);
---
> if(checkActivityFound(context, mapsIntent)) context.startActivity(mapsIntent);
294a296,301
> private static boolean checkActivityFound(Context context, Intent intent) {
> List<ResolveInfo> list = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent,
> PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
> return list.size() > 0;
> }
>
UPD 13-08-23: Super cool things happen! I managed to compile CM10.2 camera with internal/external storage location option even before official nightly And integrated all my changes in it. Checked on CM10.2. It works.
Reopen camera after changing storage location or sliding right>left you will list photos from previous location. Though new photos go to the right one anyway.

Remove standard gallery2 using smth like RootAppDelete or ES file explorer and reboot before installing. I tried this app in CM10.1, CM10.2.

amazing... I'm forcing similar problem, but I would like to have some kind of timestamp in EXIF data as well. Do you thing, that it would be possible to add it into your compiled version?

I'm at work now, so cannot try anything, but i see two auxiliary functions in ExifInterface.java
Code:
/**
* Creates, formats, and sets the DateTimeStamp tag for one of:
* {@link #TAG_DATE_TIME}, {@link #TAG_DATE_TIME_DIGITIZED},
* {@link #TAG_DATE_TIME_ORIGINAL}.
*
* [user=955119]@param[/user] tagId one of the DateTimeStamp tags.
* [user=955119]@param[/user] timestamp a timestamp to format.
* [user=955119]@param[/user] timezone a TimeZone object.
* [user=2056652]@return[/user] true if success, false if the tag could not be set.
*/
public boolean addDateTimeStampTag(int tagId, long timestamp, TimeZone timezone) {

|| tagId == TAG_DATE_TIME_ORIGINAL) {
mDateTimeStampFormat.setTimeZone(timezone);
ExifTag t = buildTag(tagId, mDateTimeStampFormat.format(timestamp));
if (t == null) {
return false;
}
setTag(t);
} else {
return false;
}
return true;
}
/**

*
* [user=955119]@param[/user] timestamp a GPS timestamp.
* [user=2056652]@return[/user] true if success, false if could not be created or set.
*/
public boolean addGpsDateTimeStampTag(long timestamp) {
ExifTag t = buildTag(TAG_GPS_DATE_STAMP, mGPSDateStampFormat.format(timestamp));
if (t == null) {
return false;
}
setTag(t);
mGPSTimeStampCalendar.setTimeInMillis(timestamp);
t = buildTag(TAG_GPS_TIME_STAMP, new Rational[] {
new Rational(mGPSTimeStampCalendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY), 1),
new Rational(mGPSTimeStampCalendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE), 1),
new Rational(mGPSTimeStampCalendar.get(Calendar.SECOND), 1)
});
if (t == null) {
return false;
}
setTag(t);
return true;
}
and in PanoramaModule.java
Code:
exif.addGpsDateTimeStampTag(mTimeTaken);
exif.addDateTimeStampTag(ExifInterface.TAG_DATE_TIME, mTimeTaken,
TimeZone.getDefault());

Ok. I did this. Here're new exif fields according to Jeffrey's Exif viewer, date/time fields are bold. If geo-location is turned off in Camera, only "Modify Date" tag will be added.
GPS Latitude Ref
GPS Latitude
GPS Longitude Ref
GPS Longitude
GPS Time Stamp
GPS Date Stamp
Modify Date
A patch of PhotoModule.java:

I'll update first post now

Is there way how to chose default storage for photo? I'm not able to find it.

I think storage settings will be included in next CM10.2 nigthly http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/47623/ Storage location configuration options
The bad thing - i used AOSP sources.)
By the way, i patched camera sources to not crash on clicking "Show on map" menu item if google maps not installed. GalleryUtils.java:
Code:
284a285
> if(!checkActivityFound(context, mapsIntent)) throw new ActivityNotFoundException();
291c292

[APP][4.0+] Secret Codes 1.1

Secret Codes is an Open Source application that allows you to browse through hidden codes of your Android phone.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This application will scan through all available secret codes on your device.
Then you will be able to executes these secret codes a discover hidden functionalities.
What is a secret code?
In Android a secret code is defined by this pattern: *#*#<code>#*#*.
If such a secret code is executed, the system will trigger this method: (taken form the AOSP Android Open Source Project)
Code:
static private boolean handleSecretCode(Context context, String input) {
int len = input.length();
if (len > 8 && input.startsWith("*#*#") && input.endsWith("#*#*")) {
Intent intent = new Intent(TelephonyIntents.SECRET_CODE_ACTION,
Uri.parse("android_secret_code://" + input.substring(4, len - 4)));
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
return true;
}
return false;
}
How to execute a secret code?
There are three ways to execute a secret code:
Directly through the dialer application of your Android device.
Simply write the secret code like: *#*#123456789#*#*.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
String secretCode = "123456789";
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:*#*#" + secretCode + "#*#*"));
startActivity(intent);
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
String secretCode = "123456789";
String action = "android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE";
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android_secret_code://" + secretCode);
Intent intent = new Intent(action, uri);
sendBroadcast(intent);
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to create your own secret code?
Add these lines in your AndroidManifest.xml
And whenever *#*#123456789#*#* is submitted, your receiver will be notified.
Code:
<receiver android:name=".MySecretCodeReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE" />
<data android:scheme="android_secret_code" android:host="123456789" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

Hi,
Someone knows how to execute Secret Codes using android.intent.action.CALL instead android.intent.action.DIAL ?
I like to "call" a secret code using the Phonebook Contacts... but it always uses the CALL function instead DIAL function.
Please, help me!

how about ***,144*** . Is it possibly an unlock code?
FOUND it on an M9 that was unlocked without my knowledge. Wasted $$ on 2 unlock codes only to find that they were already unlocked. But the 3rd M9, on the same plan, did need the code. I didn't enter it. There were also dozens of outgoing calls in the log with no number listed. All various times and call durations. Even my carrier, R in Canada didn't have any record of the outgoing number for ANY of the calls.

AccessUSB uses RSA-2048 encryption. To get access I replace its key in TV firmware, but still looking for original key. If anyone have original AccessUSB, I can copy that RSA key and make a clone.
Original AccessUSB can have time and/or usage count limitations, clone will be without any limitations. So if you help me with this key I will provide firmware and instructions how to make your own AccessUSB. Contact: PM or lgexplorer [at] tutanota.com.
Also looking any other info about original AccessUSB.

AccessUSB devices are signed individually by LG, and I was told that they are pricy to get even for repair shops.
I was making my own one with a BeagleBone Black and CDC-ACM aswell, but deemed it useless due to the existence of better ways to get root and the signature check (serial.pem) on the device

Did you got original AccessUSB or valid RSA key? How repair shops can obtain it?
Root is only one feature, that can be obtained via AccessUSB, also it is official root access method, that will not be "fixed" in updates.

HOW TO USE 2 PHONES WORKING (one always connected with the secondary USB cable - one normally connected via primary Bluethoot)
Install the free version as recommended by Mastino "Disable appliacation Root"
Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d ... hl = en_US & gl = US
Open the app, give all the required permissions, scroll the list to the bluethot item, open the item, click on disable.
If everything is ok now you can use the secondary phone for S2A and have the bluethoot channel free to use the main phone with the speakerphone, as you have always done.
FORCED ROTATION OF WORKING APP(e.g. NETFLIX, AMAZON PRIME VIDEO etc)
Some apps appear vertically when opened and have no options for rotation.
Rotation with a specific app that requires permissions must be forced.
Use the ROTATION app by Pranav Pandey that works very well
Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pranavpandey.rotation&hl=it&gl=US
DELETE LOCK SCREEN for DIRECT START ON WORKING HOME
In the developer options (which I assume you already have active) activate skip the lock screen
This way you will no longer have the annoying vertical lock screen

SOLUTION FOR S2A DISAPPEARED FROM AA
Uninstall AA and install AA version 7.0.614104
Install or run LUCKY PATCHER.
find and Select screen2 auto
press and hold on screen2auto
Then click on clone app
After cloning it asks if you want to install the clone
Clik install clone
android auto screen2auto appears again.
Naturally you must reconfigure again screen2auto end android auto

Excellent guide, thank you very much OP.
