Has anyone managed to sideload tasker and autoremote successfully?

You need to be using null_ as it has files required to get it to work

I haven't read the linked articles, but I've been playing in this space the last few days as well. I could go into a long explanation here, but essentially I love the Gear hardware, but the flexibility of the Pebble software. If the two worlds merge, I'll be very happy.
So far in my limited testing, I have Tasker on the phone sending messages over bluetooth via AutoRemote. On the gear there is a Tasker profile for a AutoRemote message that displays it and vibrates. I have places I would like this to go with something almost a message protocol.
I'll be following this closely and will happily contribute anything back that I come up with.

[Q] Trigger phone apps from watch?

Sorry if this has been asked or answered before. I've googled and searched XDA with no luck. I may just not know the terms to use.
I'm wondering if there's any way to start apps or shortcuts on the phone from the watch? Has anyone been able to do this?

i haven't found a way, but do you mind sharing with us what are you trying to achieve?

I'd like to be able to trigger tasker tasks that control music around the house, trigger playlists, use Google voice search on the phone from the watch etc. I also have lots of contextual triggers set up on my phone that would be interesting to respond to on the watch.

Are you using tasker? You can start phone tasker tasks (which I guess can simply be apps as well) from the watch that way?

I am using tasker on the phone yes. How would I do that?

You need the plugin Autoremote (full version, not the lite) There's a thread on how to use it. Search for Autoremote.

Glance question

Is there anyway to adjust the app and create a toggle on and off for hourly vibrations within the app? This app has everything id ever want except that.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app

You could do this by sending an hourly notification via Tasker, and an app like Pebble Notifier or YaNC, that accepts tasker intents for custom notification. Then to toggle it, you could trigger the tasker profile for it using the tasker integration with Glance.

Also on Glance - my weather on the face isn't right but it is in the Weather folder. I'm using a Galaxy S5. If its right in the folder but not on the face I'm lost. Location is obviously right. Wadda ya think?

I have gotten rid of Glance as being too hard to manage. I now have a face I designed on Canvas that works with alot less maintenance than I found necessary with Glance.

Google search

So I use google search quite a lot and would love to able to use the app on my Gear. I know you can use Svoice but that's never as good as google search.
I'm running Tizen. Just wondering if anyone knows how to get google search running on it... Would be appreciated as have searched a fair bit.

My gear is running null. Using tasker and tasgear, I'm able to speak/listen to my phone's Google now from my gear.

[Q] Tasker with Nexus 6

Wondered if anyone else has problems getting some of the tasked stuff to work with lolipop. I personally can't get secure settings plugin to work now with the pattern lock disable and re enable. any ideas?

Same issue. It'll "fix" itself to the correct seeing after a reboot. Haven't worked on it to figure out why though.

Found this... Hasn't helped me yet but perhaps it'll work for you?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

I appreciate it but I think I will wait on a legit fix from the devs. I guess that's the price you pay when you have the newest of the new.

No worries. It seems like the device admin isn't sticking (as mentioned in one of the links) When I toggle it then it toggles the pin. Until it's officially fixed I've resorted to using location trusted places (hope they do a Wi-Fi trusted location soon).
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

I actually removed some of the deeper system level tasks I've been using with securesettings in the past on my N6. I assumed many of them wouldn't work with the new OS and didn't feel like mucking around with them. If possible, the devs will figure it out eventually.

Thread revival!
Hey guys, I'm looking into buying a Nexus 6 and I was wondering if all of the tasker problems have been resolved by now?

I've not had any tasker issues at all, and I am very profile heavy.

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply!

Anybody know why Tasker can't turn on WIFI tether through either the system or secure settings? I've tried this now on three different ROMs.
So I found a workaround---- visit the Tasker Groups at this post here.
