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.

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.

I'm using advanced configuration. In the 'screen' menu you can enable auto device lock. When you turn off the screen, the phone gets locked automatically! Works fine, to prevent unwanted things to happen with your phone.

this does not show up in my advanced config i have 3.3 and the htc touch pro for alltel. here is another lock option though
Start>Settings>Lock> then you can set the device to auto lock every xx mins
oh yeah this one too but also wont work on alltel phone
To auto-lock the device whenever the backlight turns off:
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\?ControlPanel\?BackLight\?AutoDevic eLockEnable, change from 0 to 1, and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked.

noob here. How does one use "advanced configuration"? I've hunted through all the menu items under setting / etc and cant find any way to get to "advanced configuration". Are you guys talking registry editing? I'd like to use the automatic lock feature also.
I have a TP with the stock Alltel ROM.
Thanks for the help!

Question
So it would help me if i had a little more detail... Like what rom do you have and wm 6.1 or 6.5 Also if you have a rom with 6.5 there is a feature like that built in. It has a slide to unlock at the top and you can have it ask for a four digit password. Just pm me if you want to know more.
If you really want what the iPhone has, look into S2U2 in the Development and Hacking section. As of v1.60 or so, there has been a password lock in place. It's not perfect, but it will stop those who don't know all the loopholes around it.

I am unable to get the 'my location' status section of the weather widget to actually name my location e.g. Wembley / Westminster / Boston ... Reflecting wherever I am.
I am sure that previous weather apps were able to do this. It would automatically update according to one's location. In settings, all the location options have been selected inc. GPS. The only way I can get a place name to display right now, is if I manually select a city. :-\
I am sûre that i have overlooked something very simple to allow this function to work. Any ideas would be great. Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion. Only issue is, the weather app is integrated into blinkfeed, so it cannot be temporarily removed or deleted. Not sure how to get this to work...
EDIT - After de-selecting and selecting location services, went for a reboot of system. Then, prompt box came up on screen, asking whether I agreed or disagreed for Google to collect anonymous location information. I selected Agree and now location is displayed! Solved

The actual cause is in settings, power, fast boot. Turn this off and reboot. Make sure you have location services on as well.

Thx! The described method also helps if the phone has trouble to find a location indoor without GPS. I couldnt use Google Maps at home cause it would never find a GPS connection.
Now it just uses the WLAN and mobile connection to get the location. Great!
So... I´m not a great fan of doing things manually if I don´t have to so the manual toggling of the BT Tether doesn´t do it for me...
So I worked myself to a automatic sollution based on Tasker and Bluetooth Auto Connect
Tasker is available as a free 7-day trial here if you wan´t to try it out before you buy, Bluetooth Auto Connect is all free.
Works like this: If Display is turned on, the Gear waits 20sec (longer than the regular Display timeout), if display is still on after thoose 20sec it turns the BT Tether On and sets the Display timeout to 1 min instead (Optional). When the display turns off again, it waits 1 min, if display is still off, it shuts the Tether Off aswell and returns the display timeout to 15sec again.
So here goes:
1. Download both apps and install on Gear (you should know how it´s made by now) You shouldnt need to do anything with BT Auto Connect, we will trigger it from within Tasker.
2.Start Tasker and select New Profile. Set name to "BT Tether On", choose Event, Display and finally Display On.
3. Create a Task to be triggered by the Profile and set it like this:
Code:
1. Wait 20 seconds
2. If %SCREEN ~ On
3. Bluetooth Auto Connect (Found under Plugins, then click on the Config button, then click Profiles and tick Networking (PAN), go back and click on Devices, click on your device and tick the Networking (PAN) here aswell, back again and click Profile Action, choose Connect)
4. Display timeout 1min (optional)
5. Variable Set %BTtether To On
6. End If
3. Save the Task and back out to Tasker´s Main screen.
4. Create new profile. Set name to "BT Tether Off", choose Event, Display and finally Display Off.
5. Create a Task to be triggered by the Profile and set it like this:
Code:
1. If %BTtether ~On
2. Wait 1 Minute
3. If %SCREEN ~Off
4. Bluetooth Auto Connect (Found under Plugins, then click on the Config button, then click Profiles and tick Networking (PAN), go back and click on Devices, click on your device and tick the Networking (PAN) here aswell, back again and click Profile Action, choose Disconnect)
5. Display Timeout 15 Seconds (optional)
6. Variable Set %BTtether To Off
7. End If
8. End If
That´s about it!
Have only tested this a couple of hours so there might be Bugs in the "code" but have it a try and report back to me if something feels weird.
Happy Tasking!

I may assign the On feature to a button/widget by Tasker and let the Off feature be like above.

I´ll break the code down for you with comments:
Code:
1. If %BTtether ~On //Checks IF the Variable BTtether is set to on, If it is, the Tasks below continues, else task is aborted.
2. Wait 1 Minute //Pretty selfexplained.
3. If %SCREEN ~Off //IF Display is still Off after 1 min, the task below continues, else task is aborted
4. Bluetooth Auto Connect //Disconnects the BT Tether
5. Display Timeout 15 Seconds (optional) //Sets new Display Timeout
6. Variable Set %BTtether To Off //Sets BTtether to Off so Tasker knows the state of the BT Tether.
7. End If //Ends "If %SCREEN ~Off "
8. End If // Ends "If %BTtether ~On"
Since we got two If expressions in the code, we need to have two End If´s to decides where thoose IF´s ends.
Seem a little clearer?
In regular programming you have to specify all IF expressions with a start and an end, may look different from language to language though.
Maybe Tasker doesn´t need the End IF if it´s in the End of the code but I want the code to look clean and OK so I put it there to make it right.

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.

Try this to see if everything is set up correctly:

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.
I've attached screenshots of this procedure.
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.

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.
N6 Oreo 8.1 [AOSiP-8.1-Official-shamu-20180617] TWRP & open_gapps-arm-8.1-micro-20180623.
Can't find Google icon in app drawer. How do I get the Google icon in app drawer?
How can I enable Double Tap to Wake?
I have other questions but I've been tweaking hard on rooting this, exploring & trying to figure N6 (new to me) & Oreo.
So I'll add other questions.
Almost all my progress so far due to ktmom, & Strephon Alkhalikoi. Starting here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481/page93
Post #928
Done a lot of searching, figuring & fixing on my own as well.
"Can't find Google icon in app drawer. How do I get the Google icon in app drawer?"
Use a different OpenGApps package.
"How can I enable Double Tap to Wake?"
Search for a mod to enable it. I'm not familiar with the ROM you're using - I use Nitrogen - so I don't know if there is a setting for it built in to the ROM.
Most kernel apps such as ka mod, or ex manager will enable what your looking for. Being you are running aosip its cooked with ex kernel which has double tap to wake. As far as Google...maybe try different gapps.
Let me also suggest that you read through the thread where the ROM was downloaded as there is always gems hidden away.
And I kinda suggest that using the stock open Gapps package with a config file to prevent the install of unwanted apps help you ensure all of the frameworks you need are installed.
You can create the config file as outlined in the open Gapps wiki I linked to in the other thread and then reboot to recovery and flash the new Gapps setup. The install script will remove the old packages and install the new ones based on any config file available.

Well I kinda solved the missing Google icon in app drawer. I'm using the evie launcher.
I searched the other thread for key words knock & double. No soap.

Would I lose my non-Gapp apps?
I have searched, searched & continue to search for the double tap to wake solution. In case I'll add I'm using a locking pattern for security. On my LG G Flex that didn't affect Knock On.
I appreciate all of you.

No, as long as the data partition is not getting wiped, you won't lose play store apps. And there's no reason to wipe any partition for this exercise. The ones you flash in recovery go to system.

I have Double Tap to Sleep not Wake. So I'll happily ask for more ideas for that.
I imagine I will take your suggestion to flash stock open Gapps & write a create the config file as outlined in the open Gapps wiki. Not quite yet. I want to transfer my pdf, epub, photos, vids, get shortcuts sorted & just get used to my N6 before that.

Yes, sorry you're right. I don't use that. It's possible it's activated through a kernel app.

So I'd have to flash the specific kernel? Anybody got this licked with a specific kernel please let me know.
How do I turn off cellular data? I don't see a data icon in the notification bar. There is a wifi icon but whenever I turn off wifi cellular data starts up. I don't want that.
Do I need Titanium Backup to disable system apps? For instance I don't like the default file manager. Or is this an instance for reflashing open Gapps editing out the File manger in the config file?
What is the best way to disable ads systemwide? I'm using Blockada. Or is Adaway, Ablock or something else the way to go?
Frozen Bubble, the most basic of shooters is slow as heck. Anyway to fix this?

The AOSiP room comes with Elemental Ex kernel. Look at settings -> System -> About phone. I don't bother but I believe you can just install the Ex kernel app to manage settings. You'll need to read an Ex kernel thread.

That's a better approach so when you discover it's needed for file browsing in another app it's easier to re-enable.

I have no idea. Maybe it's not optimized for Oreo, maybe another app or mod is conflicting, maybe battery optimization needs to be turned off.

I have a replacement File Manager (OSS). So I'd like to disable (disappear it from app drawer) or uninstall it.
Thanks for notification dragging tip. As far as ad blocker using Netguard from XDA through F-Droid. Had a scare optimized everything for battery usage. Stuck at Google screen. Held power button till off, turned on undid what I did OK so far.
OH btw I have sort of double/triple tap to wake thing working. Doesn't always work. And it's always proceed by picking up or turning over the phone & the ROMs crossing swords clock popping up 1st. Then I tap away & get to the lockscreen. Not sure what I did.
What happens if I do a Factory Reset? I know all data gets wiped. But does it stay Rooted, on the Same ROM with the same open GAPPS? And if I do a Nandroid & restore it is it Exactly the same?

If I want to disable a system app and going to Settings --> Apps & Notifications --> All Apps --> App Name doesn't offer the option to disable I use Titanium Backup as you mentioned.

Try installing EX Kernel Manager and going to Gestures and enabling Double Tap2Wake. If support for DT2W is built into your current Kernel as previously mentioned then that should enable it.
I think I have DT2W sussed. If lay down the N6 on it's front & then turn it over DT2W works perfectly.

Battery optimization is the same as "doze". It's a feature to help reduce the drain apps can make on the battery. The only apps I manually have set to not optimized are Tasker, k9 mail, Termux (because it has some long scripts that run overnight) and Auto tools plug-in to Tasker.
If you factory reset, only data, cache and dalvik are wiped. This is true whether the wipe is done through the ROM in settings, or using the default factory reset through TWRP. Any apps installed to system (e.g. the open gapps you flashed with the ROM) will still be available. Root, because it's installed into the boot partition, will still be available. But the root app (e.g. Magisk manager) will need to be reinstalled after boot. All user apps, which are installed into the data partition will be wiped as well as updates to the apps on system that were downloaded from the play store.

The DT2W is tied to the gesture "lift to check" (settings->display->advanced->ambient display). I *think* this association is required because of changes in the Google code that prevent apps from doing (certain) things with the display off.

MyBackup Root (Rerware, LLC) also Freezes Systems. That's what I'm using now.
SOLVED: How do I know my battery is turbo charging?
Edit: Just saw a reading on the screen, "Charging Rapidly".
Just got the Motorola SPN5970A TurboPower 15+ QC3.0 Wall Charger with SKN6461A USB-A to micro USB cable.
It is backwards compatible for the N6 superseding the included OEM charger. Used once so far & I did not time the charging time.

How do I assign Speed Dial #s?
When I long press a # I don't even get "no number has been assigned to this speed dial".
All I found so far are stupid Favorites or make a shortcut for a contact. If there's no Speed Dial that's REALLY stupid.
Thanks all.

You don't. That is what Favorites are for, as they are more efficient than speed dial. In fact, the dialer has never had speed dial. The only long press button is the number 1, and that is set for your voicemail.

I was afraid of that.
Why not offer both? Grrr frusty Speed Dial is easier for me. I don't want to look at Favorites. I want to open the Dialer & long press a number.
For instance in Speed Dial I'd assign 3-5 #s for personal contacts & 3 #s that are shtf #s.
I don't want to even think of the shtf #s let alone look at them in a Favorites page.
But when the shtf I just want to long press a #.
zapjb said:

Because speed dial is woefully inefficient and unnecessary on a smartphone. Dumbphones need it because they lack a quick method of dialing a desired number. With a smartphone, you have your most frequently dialed numbers on the Favorites page, with no need to remember which number a particular contact is located at. A tap on their picture and you've dialed them, and more quickly than with a long press of a digit.

I find Speed Dial necessary.
I don't want to look at shtf #s on a Favorites page while calling my happy, happy, joy, joy friends & family.
But when the shtf & I need to give/receive help I just want to long press a #.
