Toggle Settings Based On Day/Night - Tasker Tips & Tricks

hi, my phone is rooted and ive got secure settings installed, i would like to do the following
At Home
wifi on
auto sync off
display autorotate on
gps off
airplane mode off
mobile data off
enable 2g only
away from home
auto sync on
gps on
mobile data on
enable 2g/3g/4g
Night
Wifi off
Airplane mode on
mobile data off

Task - Night On
Action > Plugin > Secure Settings > Root Actions > Airplane Mode > On
Task - Night Off
Action > Plugin > Secure Settings > Root Actions > Airplane Mode > Off
Task - Night
If %NIGHT eq 1
Variable Set > Name %NIGHT to 0
Set Widget Icon > Name Night > Icon (choose the icon that you like)
Set Widget Label > Name Night > Label Day
Else
Variable Set > Name %NIGHT to 1
Set Widget Icon > Name Night > Icon (choose the icon that you like, different from the previous icon)
Set Widget Label > Name Night > Label Night
End if
Then create a Task Widget in your homescreen and choose the task Night
This icon in your homescreen will let you toggle between Day and Night mode.
For the other part I would use AutoLocation.

thanks, I'll try autolocation, would night work if I just a time context

You can create a new task with a time context to set the %NIGHT variable to 1 (on) and 0 (off).
In my case, I have a toggle icon in home of my homescreens and another task that sets the %NIGHT variable when the phone is upside down and charging, so when I go to sleep, all I have to do is connect the charger and leave it upside down.
The good thing about the toggle icon, is that you may toggle night mode manually whenever you want.

thanks

I would use MeteoTask in order to create a day/night condition according to sunset and sunrise times.

(Guide) Lost Phone Protocol

Hi guys, this is my first guide on XDA
Any suggestions for improving are welcome
I have always been worried about losing my phone, so i made a "Find my phone if all else fails" backup plan (because Googles Device Manager isn't that accurate if you don't have WiFi/data)
What you need:
Tasker (well duh?) [PAID]
Secure settings plugin
Toggle data 5.0 [PAID, but rumor has it there is a free version for XDA members somewhere] (Not needed on Samsung devices, can uses taskers built in data toggle?) I am only using this as the secure settings and taskers inbuilt data toggle did not work for me. They might work for you!
...and Root (Recommended)
You are out with some mates, and you reach into your pocket where your phone should be, and you find....nothing! You don't panic though, as you can just borrow your friends phone, to text yours to find it.
First line of defense
This is a simple, no data, no wifi way of getting an accurate location for your phone.
1. New > Event > Phone > Received text
a. TYPE: Any
SENDER: (Leave blank)
CONTENT: Lost phone (you can change it for your own phrase, and it is case sensitive!)
<Back (top left)
In the popup, select "New Task +", and call it "Lost Reply"
2. Add action > Phone > Send SMS
a. NUMBER: %SMSRF
MESSAGE: Please wait up to two minutes for the location...
<Back (top left again)
b. Add action > Plugin > Secure settings > Configuration (Tap on the pencil) > System+ Actions > GPS > select "On"> Tap the save icon >
<Back (Top Left)
c. Add action > Task > Wait > 5 Seconds >
<Back (you know where)
d. Add action > Location > Get Location > SOURCE: GPS, TIMEOUT (Seconds): 50 [higher the better, more accurate GPS fix] >
<Back
e. Add action > Phone > Send SMS > NUMBER: %SMSRF
MESSAGE:
Im lost! My batt is at: %BATT
Location: %LOC
Accuracy: %LOCACC
GPS stat: %GPS
<Back
f. Add action > Task > Wait > 15 Seconds
<Back
g. Add action > Plugin > Secure settings > Configuration (Tap on the pencil) > System+ Actions > GPS > select "Off"> Tap the save icon >
<Back (Top Left)
Done! you can now track your phone via Text!
Need more tracking ability?
How about you enable the data remotely via text? Then you can use Android device Manager or an installed anti theft app to track your phone!
[You can try kenboyles72 method posted below for enabling/disabling data too]
Data on:
1. New > Event > Phone > Received text
a. TYPE: Any
SENDER: (Leave blank)
CONTENT: Enable Data (you can change it for your own phrase, and it is case sensitive!)
<Back
In the popup, select "New Task +", and call it "Data on Reply"
2.
a. Add action > Plugin > Toggle data 5.0 > tap on "Configuration" > select "Switch on"
<Back
b. Add action > Phone > Send SMS >
NUMBER: %SMSRF
MESSAGE: Data is now ENABLED
<Back
Data Off
1. New > Event > Phone > Received text
a. TYPE: Any
SENDER: (Leave blank)
CONTENT: Disable Data (you can change it for your own phrase, and it is case sensitive!)
<Back
In the popup, select "New Task +", and call it "Data off Reply"
2.
a. Add action > Plugin > Toggle data 5.0 > tap on "Configuration" > select "Switch off"
<Back
b. Add action > Phone > Send SMS >
NUMBER: %SMSRF
MESSAGE: Data is now DISABLED

Nice guide and works great as you have written above. Just a note, you can enable/disable data via run shell in tasker without any third party app/plugin. I have a profile that toggles data when I'm on wifi.
Turn data off
Run Shell Command:
su
setenforce permissive;
svc data disable;
Check the use root box
Turn data on
Run Shell Command:
su
setenforce permissive;
svc data enable;
Check the use root box
Not sure if this will work on all phones, but works great on my Oneplus One

Found that command in one of the guides here. I have gone through just about every thread and have greatly expanded my knowledge in tasker. I have bookmarked a lot of 'em, plus I have everything typed out just in case
Edit:
Here's another tip for your script that I just added to mine. In your send text command with just %LOC, you will just get the long and lat numbers and is hard to copy just that text in some message apps. Now if you add
Code:
I’m at http://maps.google.com/maps?z=12&t=m&q=loc:%LOC
this will give a link to google maps with current location and would be easier to use.

[GUIDE] Add sound/vibrate toggle tile in quick settings

In many devices with Android 7.x, there is no tile in quick settings to toggle the vibrate/sound mode. In my opinion, it's too bad. With Tasker, we can add a tile to toggle sound/vibrate mode in quick settings.
Introduced in Android 7.0, the quick settings tiles API allows access to specific actions or settings of an app. It wasn’t until the release of Tasker v5.0 that these tiles became a native feature. Located in the preferences menu under the Action tab, there are 3 slots for Quick Settings Tasks. Clicking the magnifying glass icon opens a menu with Named Tasks to add in any of the three slots.
Prerequisites
Android 7.x
Tasker 5.x+
Please see screenshots below
Adding a quick settings task (tile)
Swipe down to expand the notification shade.
Click on the pencil icon to edit the quick settings tiles and locate the Tasker tiles.
Drag the first one "toggle" to the top, to add it to the notification panel for use.
Instructions
Create a new task and name it: ToggleSound
Select an icon for this task as a speaker: Icon > Holo > Speaker
Open the task and create the entry task:
1. Task > If: %SILENT ~ off
2. Audio > Sound Mode > Vibrate
3. Tasker > Setup Quick Setting > Number: 1, Name: ToggleSound, Status: Inactive
4. Task > Else
5. Audio > Sound Mode > Sound
6. Alert > Vibrate > Time: 50, Continue Task After Error: Yes
7. Tasker > Setup Quick Setting > Number: 1, Name: ToggleSound, Status: Active
8. Task > End If
9. Input > Close System Dialog
Setup quick settings tasks action
Tasker > Preferences > Quick Settings Tasks > Set to the first one the task created: ToggleSound
This tile is usefull for devices without tile to toggle sound/vibrate mode, as Moto series and LineageOS 14.

Notifications are not displayed on the lock screen

A week ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Snapdragon) phone. If I have a lock screen, I don't get notifications. Only sound is heard, but the display remains off and the notification does not appear. To see the notification, I have to wake up the display manually. Factory reset without effect.
My setting:
Notification > Brief > Brief pop-up setting > Show even while screen is off > Disable
Notification > Advanced setting > Show notification icons > All notification
Lock screen > Screen lock type > PIN + Fingerprint
Lock screen > Always On Display > Disable
- switch to Enable without effect
Lock screen > Notification > Details
Lock screen > Notification > Hide content > Disable
Lock screen > Notification > Notification to show > Alert and silent notification
Lock screen > Notification > Show on always on display > Disable
Software: G781BXXU2CUD1/G781BOXM2CUC9/G781BxxU2CUD1
Someone has no experience with this error? Thank you
