Does any one know a method or a way to connect to watch over terminal like SSH or SCP? What i wanna do is to send or receive files maybe by connecting over Bluetooth or USB.
Do some research on "Android ADB" - a Google search will bring back tons of info. This is Android's "Debug" command line, and it allows you to push/pull files among other things.
I just enabled the developer mode and searched through developer options. There is one section called bluetooth debugging. Can't enable it because it looks like it is disabled and can't be modified. Do you know why?

Enable ADB Debugging first. :good:
As we all know the setup process on iOS severely neuters the watch in terms of available apps and wifi being enabled.
I have enabled root and it looks like all the required files are present (wpa_supplicant etc) however icant seem to see how to enable the wifi.
Anyone have any ideas where to look, imagine its an init script somewhere.

Attached is the Android Wear Google maps apk
Ive done a TWRP backup of an Android setup and an iOS setup, so far the system directories are identical.
Managed to get wifi working, you need to populate the config file
\data\misc\wifi\wpa_supplicant.conf
then enable wifi
svc wifi enable
Still no data in the interface tho!

Dear,
have you pulled the wpa_supplicant.conf, then edit and then push it again? where is the exact lcoation?
Awesome developer Joao have (yesterday) released a brand new app called AutoTools to his big AutoApps-library. It´s supposed to be a ``supercharged Tasker´´. For example it has it´s own ``secure settings´´ very similar to the old original Secure Settings-app it self that stopped development a couple of years ago. And wait for it... it does NOT require root!
There are though warnings that claims the functions will not work on all phones and also to enable ``secure settings´´ you need to connect the phone to a PC and install a specific software etc. (all info is in the app).
I have not yet dived into all the functions myself but only checked it briefly. But this is exactly what Tasker needs And who else to bring it than Joao, he is really brilliant :good:
Read more HERE and take a look at the really informative Youtube video.
About the ``Secure settings´´ function.
AutoTools Secure Settings
This allows you to change settings on your device that you normally wouldn't be able to with Tasker
NO ROOT is needed for this action
Examples
Turn GPS on when in Google Maps, turn it off otherwise (No Root!)
Change Animation Speed with a Quick Tile on Android 7 and Above
Change input keyboard depending on situation
Set Screen Orientation
To use this, AutoTools needs to be granted permission to change secure settings on your device
How to grant AutoTools the Secure Settings permission
Enable Developer Mode: Go to Android Settings -> About Phone and look for the Build Number option. Touch it multiple times until developer mode is enabled.
Enable USB Debugging: Go to Android Settings -> and look for the Developer Options option. In there, enable the USB debugging option.
Install ADB on your PC: Check here for a quick way to do it.
Connect device to PC: Connect your device to a PC and look on your phone. A prompt should show up asking you to allow your phone to be debugged by your PC. Accept this.
Grant permission: Open a command line on your PC and write
adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Congratulations, AutoTools should now be able to use the "Secure Settings" action!

Warning info inside the app claims that ``mobile data´´ only will work on 25% of all devices, but I can confirm that it works on my S7 edge. Also power saver mode and GPS ''battery saver/high accuracy/off'' works as a charm.
Auto Tools been out for a hot minute…

And airplane mode?
You can toggle the Air Plane Mode by shell code, if you can't with that...

Just tried it and got some strange results lol. Airplane mode enables (icon lights up) and mobile data turns off BUT cell connection is still up and I can make calls and send texts. So you could say that I get ``almost airplane mode...´´.
I read about some Marshmallow bug though for third party apps writing system settings even with permissions, could be what causing this.. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=194376

It has been out as a Beta app for a long time. It was released to the public a few days ago :-}
For Airplane Mode ( I don't have root), I use AutoInput to open up the notifications shade, then simulate a press of the airplane mode button. Works perfect
This is a lifesaver coming from Tasker + Secure Settings and System Module+ enabled which is not functioning with Marshmallow for GPS until I found someone talking about this app. Confirmed working with Marshmallow on LG G5 I'm very happy as soon as I saw it worked, I just bought the full version. This was the only issue I had as I like to use Waze often in my car and one or two less clicks is just another annoyance I didn't need :laugh:
can someone help me, I don't know how to install ADB, I'm running windows 10 home on my laptop,
Do i still need to do the adb command part if i'm rooted?

Not sure if you found the answer, but Google recently released an installer for just the tools like adb and fastboot: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
I found out in the end
Hello,
I'm going crazy here.... I've installed Tasker on my new Lenovo Tab M7 TB-7305F (7 Inch with Android 9.0 GO - NOT rooted). Tasker works fine. Since I want to kill apps I installed the plugin "SecureTask". And: I succeeded to get it working. Everyting is working fine. Until I reboot. After a reboot: When I try Tasker to execute the plugin-command SecureTask - Tasker waits long and can't execute the plugin. It seems Tasker can't call the plugin SecureTask / can't connect to it. When I manually load SecureTask (Icon on the desktop - only a config-screen comes up - I leave the config-screen with the back-button): After that everything works again. It seems: After SecureTask was loaded once everything is OK. But Tasker can't start the plugin.
Humpf? After a lot of hours of investigating..... I'm out of ideas. Any help?
That sounds like there's a problem getting a background process running after boot for SecureTask. Assuming that all of the permissions for SecureTask have been granted through ADB, I would contact the developer and see what he says.
A work around might be to use Tasker to launch SecureTask after boot. You could then use it to close itself
Thanks... exactly the opinion I have at the moment. In the meantime I found a contact address in SecureTask itself - so I will contact the developer.
Enabling SecureTask after boot by Tasker.... good idea That will be a screen-flickering... but that's at 5 am - so nobody will care about that. I will test this... :good:
Just to report my efforts.... I contacted the support of SecureTask - and got an email-chat within minutes. Incredible support - thank's a lot, John Doe (support of SecureTask)!!!
He told me how to get a logcat. Reason, why it's not working:
BroadcastQueue: TabletMaster Service: not allowed to launch app com.balda.securetask/10110 for broadcast Intent { act=com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.action.FIRE_SETTING flg=0x14 cmp=com.balda.securetask/.receivers.FireReceiver (has extras) }
=> The OS is blocking the broadcast. No clue why. So it seems my Lenovo Tab M7 TB-7305F has a strange behaviour... no chance to get it working.
Btw: Killing SecureTask with it's own didn't work. So I had to choose now a complete different approach without SecureTask.
airplane mode
Hi, bit off topic maybe, but I saw that this is a quite recent threat and it is involved with SecureTask plugin, so I decided to hook up instead of creating new one
This week I bought Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e. It's operating on Android Pie and UI One interface. I'm reluctant to root it yet (all the more the procedure is not obvious), but I want to recreate as much functionality as possible from my old rooted Samsung tablet So SecureTask plugin is the obvious choice.
I'm trying to find a way to automate turning the airplane mode on/off. On my old tablet I created a profile that triggered airplane mode according the time schedule as soon as Tasker detects that the device is plugged in to a power source. I've tried to recreate this profile with the help of SecureTask. Of course in advance I granted to the plugin all possible permissions using adb and even successfully set it as the device owner. Then I found a secure setting responsible for turning the airplane mode on/off and set appropriate values. And when I test the created tasks, the green circle appears and the quick toggle in the notification drawer turns on, but it seems that the system doesn't listen to the call - the airplane mode actually doesn't turn on. The system seems to listen only when I turn the quick toggle on manually. So I wonder if there is something I'm missing or maybe it is not achievable at all without root on this firmware?
Would be grateful for any insight, maybe from you @ktmom, boss Thanks in advance.
@Lord Sithek, AFAIK, the only way you can toggle mobile data or WiFi radios is after a reboot and that may not work on all devices. Google "long ago" removed the ability to directly control those radios, even with root. Bluetooth does tend to toggle though.
So if it's going to work at all, you would have to toggle off and then reboot.
My opinion is its best to use touch emulations to activate the quick setting tile.

Ok, thanks for the response. I have Auto Input plug installed as well, so I'll give it a shot

The problem is that it needs to turn the screen on. I keep my device in book cover so... pain in the arse :cyclops: I think I'll probably switch to "do not disturb" mode, at least it works right away

I too just purchased a lenovo Tab M7 TB-7305F (7 Inch with Android 9.0 GO - also NOT rooted).
Sorry for intruding.
Have you found a forum for this tablet?
One specific question I have is with screen rotation. In android pie you get rotation control by turning off auto-rotation in settings. That way when you rotate the tablet a small icon appears briefly in a corner. When that icon is tapped the display rotates. If not tapped on the display does not rotate.
That is what happens in my other android pie devices. But for some reason this icon does not appear on this tab. So I'm looking for a forum for help. Have you found one?

I don't know if it needs root (I am always rooted), but there is an Airplane Mode On and Off in Tasker, under Net category.
I have a task that checks if %AIR is on or off, and turn on and off accordingly.

It still is fine to toggle mobile data on and off (in my case, either Mobile Data 1 or 2 due to having dual sims), as well as wifi, without rebooting. Even works in Macrodroid (the mini Tasker-like app)
Android app Tasker
I want AOD to always be off, but when I get a new notification, I want AOD to enable itself. Is this possible to do without root?
I found a post on Reddit, but unsure if its worth buying tasker, as I'm unsure if it requires root or not to work
reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/9vi2ok/aod_option_to_make_it_on_only_when_theres_new/e9cw8a4/
Can anyone with tasker that doesn't have root access test it for me? Thanks
Any other options to do this without root access?
Yes that profile will work without root. You will have to connect your phone to a computer & enable the write secure settings permission via ADB for Tasker though, which is easy.
