[Q] Can Tasker ....

Can Tasker automate the abling and disabling of a security PIN for unlocking the phone? For example, while at home I would like to have no screen lock, but while out I would like more security and so would like a PIN to be required for accessing the phone. Thanks in advance.

Yes it can

That's what I have mine doing. You'll need this also https://market.android.com/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin

I've tried playing around but couldnt figure out how to do it. Can you tell me how to? Thanks

When I'm off work later tonight I can post step by step instructions. Do you have wifi at home? Because I have mine set so that it knows I'm at home when I'm connected to my home wifi.

thats exactly what I want! I would appreciate it very much!

1. Create new profile - name it whatever you want
2. Under First Context choose State > Net > Wifi Connected
3. Under SSID input your home wifi's network name or if connected to it then just hit the magnifying lens in the upper right and select your home network and hit the green checkmark at the bottom to save it
4. Choose New Task and name it whatever you want.
5. Hit the plus sign to add a new action and choose Plugin > Secure Settings
6. Now hit Edit under Configuration and change Keyguard to either password/pin or pattern lock (depending on what security you've choosen) and select Off (I also check the setting where I've got to enter in my pass code once before it will unlock but that's up to you) and then hit the disk icon in the bottom right to save it and again confirm that you want to save it.
7. Hit the green checkmark again and also on the next screen.
8. Then click on the action you created and choose Add Exit Task and repeat the steps starting at step 4 but this time under Password/Pin or Pattern Lock choose On.
9. Then just keep hitting the green checkmarks until you exit out of Tasker.
I typed this out on my phone on the bus ride home so let me know if it's not clear or I missed a step. And you will need to first install Secure Settings that I linked to earlier.

Awesome, thanks for posting that! I haven't used Tasker, or Locale or any other automating app, so I'm curious, why would one choose Tasker over Locale? I just have a few simple things i want to automate (though that list could grow once I get into it).

I've never used Locale but before I bought Tasker I read a few reviews comparing the two and it seems that Locale is more user friendly but Tasker is more powerful. But for most everyday uses Locale will probably work fine.

I did exactly as you said and i can't get it to work. Did you clear the lock settings in security before doing this or keep that? Also what rom are you using, that may be the problem for me (elite ics).
I've tried setting a lock, and then connecting to wifi but lock doesn't go away. I also tried having no lock set and turning off wifi, but the lock doesn't show up on the screen.

I didn't think to add that you've also gotta open Secure Settings and select the Helper tab and install the Helper. There's also an option there to download a flashable zip to install the helper (it's gotta be in system to work). I've just gotten so used to flashing the helper every time I flash a new ROM I didn't think of it.

Had Helper installed and still didn't work. Btw Helper is for pattern only, you don't need it for pin/password.
I'll try playing around some more tomorrow. Thanks for the help!

I'm very interested in this. If you get this working I may have to break down and buy tasker. Always been curious about it, but never really had a purpose of it til this came up.

Did you also enable Tasker as a device administrator? This can be found in your phone settings under Security.

Sorry, don't know what to tell you. Tasker's working great for me.

tried llama and it kinda worked with built-in actions but not with the secure settings plugin.

Couldn't you also do it by location as well, instead of Wifi connection. Which is basically Locale.

[Q] Dialer and Hidden Menu

Hi guys,
Is there any way to disable the hidden/test menu in ICS dialer when we press 0 (zero)?
The default LG ICS version has this behavior and I need (in some cases) to dial 0 before the contact number.
If I press 0 as the first number, the menu appears.
However, in IZS ROM (by Huexxx) it doesn't happen. Maybe he changed something.
So, my question is:
Do you know a way to bypass this issue?
Or at least do you know what is the name of .apk that controls it?
Regards.

Marvel has the hidden menu as an AROMA item during install. If you omit it (un-check it), it doesn't get installed. AROMA installs the following apk files when selecting "hidden menu":
/system/app/HiddenMenu.apk
/system/app/HiddenSIMUnlockManu.apk
/system/app/PhoneTestMode.apk
Y can un-install those and see if it does its magic.

Will the contacts allow you to save and dial the numbers with a preceding zero?
I don't remember whether Marvel ICS was based-on V30B, V30C, or a combo of both. Wherever the dialer was "ripped" from, the target audience didn't use preceding zeros I guess.
For the interim, until tantrums get some time, can you try a dialer app from the Play Store? If that works, it should take care of your issue. There are many listed.
I'm wondering if you can somehow put a bogus character in front, then follow with a zero. Commas are used for pauses. Will a "+" sign do anything bad? Holding down the zero key until the plus sign appears, then following it with a zero seems to work on my end.

Well, I tested stock original V30B (almost untouched, by nooby), and the same "issue" happens. Then, I guess Marvel is based on V30B.
However, IZS from Huexxx doesn't have this issue. I can use 0 always in front of my numbers. However, IZS is based on V30B & C...
I would like to know what is the app responsible for this behavior. Maybe I can change files between the ROMs to solve this issue.
I tried LGPhone2c and LGContacts3, but none solved it.
I will try your suggestion...
Thanks.

From the dialer, try adding a "+" (a long zero press) before you input the zero.

Maybe it works, but this way I'm putting "3 zeros" before the number...
I can't test it now because I don't have a number with only one zero to call (I usually travel from Portugal to Brazil, and only there I need one 0 before the numbers).

No, you're putting a "+" then the required number of zeros.
The long hold on the zero button just gets the "+" to post in the dialer, as it's a secondary function of the zero key. Or are we talking about something else?

When you are dialing, if you use + it means 00.
So, if I put +0 it means 000.
Don't you agree?
+ is the international symbol for calls. It substitutes the 00 before country codes.
But, in practice, I just would like to type 0 directly, without any "workaround"...
Just wonder what is the dialer file in v30...

My apologies.
I had no idea what the "+" was for. I'd rather just type two extra zeros than long press a zero to get a "+". Whoever thought that up never talked to me
I just wanted to insert some null character so you could add the zero. In my modem days a comma was a pause, and there were different "*" prefixes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_service_code). Inserting a null character or code would be a temp fix. I don't think this will work.
You'll have to try a dialer app for now, or save all those numbers in your contacts.
Now I have an interesting item for you... Heh.
I have Marvel 12 installed, along with the hidden menu.
When I press a zero as a first number, I don't go to the hidden menu. It just displays the zero and waits for my next number to enter.
Even if I type a whole (bogus) numerical string with a preceding zero, it still dials with the zero.
Two zeros is the same.
There is something else amiss here. Could it be the installed keyboard? I run the HTC IME. Maybe the SIM card?

This is the only solution, hope you understand...
When you press 0 and it shows Hidden menu is not a rom problem, but some kind of problem with the Flashing process, probably different radio, or some kind of flag that is not set properly in the flash. This flag can not be reset by using factory reset, the only way to do it properly is to flash a full rom, but not a nandroid, I believe SMART FLASH works, then reflash the rom of your choice.
If you have this problem any nandroid you reflash will manifest the same bug, only some roms, probably that are heavily modified don't manifest the problem, but try 30A, 30B, 30 C, and you'll see the problem persists indiferent of the rom flavor...
SO, ONLY SOLUTION is to FLASH using SMART FLASH some FULL ROM including baseband... Or so I remember fixing the problem in GB 20o 20s.

Got this issue with IZS 0.1. But it dissapear when i flash IZS 0.4 kernel.

That makes sense, and certainly would explain the differences between two similar installs.
Huexxx had a "Pre-IZS" base band included with his IZS ROM thread. It's the base band I've been using. Reflashing or flashing this base band using SmartFlash should fix the issue then?

I heard that problem only from ppl that didn't make a facory reset.
A workaround would be dial the country calling code first i.e. +49 for me (Germany), +44 for UK, +34 for Spain or +351 for Portugal.

As SaschaKH said, do a factory reset. I had issue with 0 and # keys in dialer with v20s too, and factory reset solved it.

i had that problem today for the first time since Marvel v11 rom was out.
last night i decided to try IZS, can't say i enjoy it coz i had a FC of the setup wizard which didn't solve after factory reset, so i decided to put marvel v12 again, and today few hrs ago, this dialer problem started, every time i press zero or # the phone goes to hidden or test menu.
so i flashed marvel v11 and try to make a call and again the same thing, so i did a factory reset, and it seems to solve the problem or now.
let me ask you, do you think it may have to something with the framework-res file ?? or maybe something in framework at all?
i'm asking this bcoz i noticed it happen after i changed the framework-res.apk file.
im just fishing here coz i switched that framework file few time already and no problems like that b4.
in my country if you want to dial to cellular or to another area code, you must have that zero working:silly: all those numbers start with zero.

Not sure at all. Dialing zero isn't something that I do in my country. I tried it for fun with phoney numbers stating with zero, and I never went to the hidden menu.
It was said in an earlier post to do a factory reset. I always do the from the hidden menu after a new ROM install. Usually, I do it from the hidden menu, then go back and do it again from System Settings too.

Hi there, I was giving advice but came home and my girlfriend reached to me with the phone in her hand and told me: "Give yourself a call!". Surprise, surprise, the same problem.
Ok, after 3-5 flashes and the same amount of unsuccessful nandroids (What's up with that?), I fixed it with a factory reset from recovery.
I had a huge amount of problems after that, including apps that don't install, don't download, don't connect, and never experienced something like that after a factory reset :'(. Probably it had something to do with downgrading from ICS, (and the custom bootloader I had installed for that) but that is a completely different story!

[Q] How to change the owner name without factory reset? [solved]

My phone was setup in the shop where I bought it, and I never had a chance to type my "display name" (this is what apps like WhatsApp show to other people). Is there a way I can add this after setup has been finished, or must I factory reset? (Note: I'm not going to root yet.)
Thanks!
Edit: I found it can be accessed from the quick-toggle pane. The upper left button. Click it, click the main identity, and click "edit profile". Add a name.

Not sure if I get you right, but:
Settings - Info - Phone Identity - Phone Name
Is it that what you're searching for?

Thank you, but I don't think that's it. Phone name says "HTC One". This is probably an identifier used for hostname/debugging/bluetooth, but what I'm looking for is my own personal name. For example, e-mail programs might use this to set a default "from" name. WhatsApp uses it to tell others what my name is.

I don't recall seeing it myself, but I'd bet my new phone it's part of the setup. It's part of Google Android and Samsung Android. It's the last step after entering your e-mail address.

Try:

Login, and there you can change a "name" (Don't know if thats what you're looking for)

Is your phone a Google Play edition? I'm using Modaco.SWITCH so I've gone through the Sense and GPe setup many times. Only in GPe have I set up a name.
Where are you seeing this display name that you want changed?

I found it by poking around more. Thanks! See edited first post if curious.

[MOD] Disable High Volume Warning (no root)

If you're like me you're bummed that we have no root and are missing the abilities of root. Namely having the ability to use Xposed to turn off the annoying high volume warning. The following information aims to restore that functionality without root but requires some work but when you're done it's "set it and forget it.". You will never have to do it again. (Unless you wipe your phone)
I have this running on my phone and it works perfectly. I've attached a screenshot showing that the high volume warning is disabled on my phone. Note there is no popup on my volume slider when it's at max, so it's working. This mod uses Tasker and AutoTools. If you're not familiar with them it's OK, the article I'm linking has a step by step process for creating events and tasks.
Once again this isn't my work. I'm just bringing the information to the masses.
All set? Click here to go to the article. Enjoy!
P.S. You will need to open AutoTools and activate the 30 day trial if you don't have the full version. Then grant it permission, If not this won't work. To get the full version just open AutoTools and clock "Get full version".
***********UPDATE 09/15***********
I have confirmed that you will have to manually "test" this procedure first before it survives a reboot.
To do this:
Open tasker.
Click on the Monitor Start event.
Click on the 30 second task.
Click the "play" button in the lower left corner.
The task will begin manually.
If all is well both of the actions will turn green.
If anything turns red something isn't configured correctly.
***********UPDATE 09/17***********
For those that either don't want to or are having difficulty setting up the profiles I have attached them to this post in XML form, Then all you have to do is give the apps permission in ADB as stated in the article and import the profiles.
To import them into Tasker:
Download the file called "Tasker Profiles.zip" from the link below.
Unzip it and save it anywhere on your internal storage. Open up Tasker and disable Beginner Mode in Preferences.
Then, go back to the main screen and long-press on the “Profile” tab up top. You should see a pop-up with one of the options being “Import.”
Tap on that and browse to where you saved the .prf.xml files and select that file to import.
Repeat for the second profile.
Screenshots for this are attached to this OP.
I have also attached a quick demo video to show that this process works perfectly. No popup.

reboot and see if it still works.
I already tried this and after reboot it still prompts the first time.

I've rebooted several times. It works for me. There is a 30 second delay before the task is executed. That is by design.

Also something to consider is that if you have any task killers installed or anything that kills tasks on startup you should add tasker to the ignore list of that app.
Hope this helps.

It's configured correctly. Here is the thing. If you pull the value before without using, then pull the value after clicking ok manually, it is NOT 2, it's 0. This was discussed on the s7 and s8 forums. Odd that yours works and dozens of other folks doesn't.

I dont know what to tell you. It does work for me just fine as my screen shots show. Sorry it's not working for you.

Can you screenshot your configuration screen? Is the value your sending "int" for integer? It shouldn't matter but what Carrier are you using? I'm Sprint.

One other thing to check is under app permissions ensure that AutoTool has the ability to change system settings. Just running the adb shell pm command isn't enough.

According to the article 0 is 'not configured' 1 is 'disabled' which is what the value would be when you click ok. 2 is 'inactive'.(How this differs from 'not configured' or 'disabled' I do not know). and 3 is 'enabled'. All depending on your mobile country code. Perhaps changing it to 1 will work for you?
Specifically, we will be modifying the System.Global property audio_safe_volume_state both on boot and periodically so Android will always think you have consented to bypass the warning. This property is defined in AOSP, which we’re reproducing below. There are several states this property can take, ranging from 0-3. 30 seconds after boot or after every 20 hours of continuous music playback, the state is set to ‘0’ or ‘not configured.’ It is then set to ‘1’ for ‘disabled’ or ‘3’ for ‘enabled’ depending on your Mobile Country Code. If you live in the E.U., this property is set to ‘3’ by default but is changed to ‘2’ for ‘inactive’ whenever the user manually bypasses the volume warning. We will be changing the value of this property to the ‘inactive’ state (changing it to ‘disabled’ never worked for me, in case you’re wondering).

Confirmed.
Going to Settings -> Sound and Vibration -> Volume -> hit the 3 dot menu -> Media Volume Limiter -> Off works.
I came from a Note 4 with Android 5.1.1 that didn't have this feature. I had no idea Samsung finally caved and added it.
Thank you.

Or not. I rebooted again and it does NOT work anymore. I'm really not trusting Samsung with this. The tasker method works every time. Every reboot. See attached screenshots showing it's turned on (and set to max) and still showing this message. I rebooted several times just in case I had a weird reboot. I'm still getting the popup even with it turned on and the max adjusted to the maximum or even with it turned off completely.
I only wish I was wrong. Thanks for the try though.

Yeah will reset after a boot

Yup...so with tasker I don't have to do any of that. I never have to touch it again. It never comes back.
Thanks again though.

I did learn something from this process. When I re-enabled the tasker even it didn't work when I rebooted. So I hit the "play" button that I mentioned earlier to retest the task and once everything turned green I rebooted and it now works again...after every reboot. So I'll add this to the OP that the task must be "tested" after it's set up in order to get it to work.
Even more interesting is who posted it. Compusmurf was the guy who stated in this thread that this did not work for him. Interesting.

I did get it to work finally. I had another tasker/app that was stepping on it.

Well I also confirmed that when I disabled it and allowed the popup to come back by rebooting simply re-enabling the tasker even then rebooting did not make it work again. I had to "test" it with the play button to get it to work again. So I'm updating the OP to reflect this.

Yup...so with tasker I don't have to do any of that. I never have to touch it again. It never comes back.
Thanks again though.

Yeah my point of my post was to show the reason why the built in way doesn't work long term. The tasker way is preferred for those who find the nanny thing an annoyance. :good:

I looked at every single screenshot of System UI Tuner in the play store. I saw no option to disable the high volume warning. Only an option to remove the volume icon which isn't the same thing.
Can you show me a screenshot of it working?
I know this process I linked is a long one and I would really love to be shown a better way but until I am this works for non rooted devices every time.

*#*#4636#*#* menu locked?

Hi all,
Living in an area scarcely covered with 4G, I've always used *#*#4636#*#* menu to set LTE only mode on my two previous phones.
But, apparently, on my P30 Pro this menu is locked by manufacturer. I can't access it and if launched from 3rd party apps, get an error message telling me this functionality is disabled.
Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to unlock this menu?
Thanks in advance

This did show all the settings, but when I tap to select, it selects the one that was set before selection, so doesn't really work

So, what I've found out, is the following - the value 11 (which corresponds to LTE only), doesn't display this option after restart, even when you put "11,9,6,2,1" instead of "9,6,2,1", and the value 12 (which corresponds to LTE/WCDMA) does appear after restart, but doesn't let you select it and falls back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE...
Only possible solution is to leave the field empty or put "-1" and select LTE only, which you can select, but even in this case you can't select LTE/WCDMA.
Thanks for the help!
