Running app via Tasker - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hello,
I have installed this app from playstore,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rk.timemeter
I noticed that this app has an activity called com.rk.timemeter.QuickGlanceActivity which I would like to execute.
If I am to run this particular activity through Tasker, how am I supposed to do that. Please guide.
Many thanks.

Push-Ads with Zeus Rom

Hi,
this morning I received 2 Push Ads for some battery related stuff.
For some this may not be that surprising, but I've been using the OB for over a year now and have never received a single push ad with the apps I was using. Now, after playing with Zeus as stock replacement for a couple of weeks this happened and I want to eliminate the root cause of this as soon as possible.
I'm currently using Zeus v3. Does any app (or the rom itself) cause Push Ads? How can I find out which app is causing this and turn it off?
Thanks,
jo
Yes,some app can send you push ads
Check a task manager app to see the running background apps (which you've installed)
Try to kill 'em and don't open till you get another push app,then check the task manager app again to conclude which app that send you those ads
Delete or use firewall to block the apps from using the internet

That's the first time i great about push apps on Zeys ROM. And I use it from when it started.
As suggested put firewall and see which app is the culprit.
Plenty of apps that can do the job on the market.
Me too! Its my 1st time to receive such thing. Im at zeus v3. I thought it was just a txt message. Whats bad is i don't know where it came from. No OS should allow such thing.
I've found the push ad that showed again this morning. It says "Turbo Boost Your Battery?" I'm not allowed to post URLs yet, but if you search for "airpush - Is this red star icon malware? How to get rid of it", you can find a description.
So it seems to be an app that uses AirPush. I've tried the "Addons Detector" app but it did not show me any app that uses AirPush (only those using AdMob, AdSense, AdMarvel, MOcean,Millenial, MobClix, AdWhirl, or InMob).
Is AirPush the only ad network that uses push notifications?
Since I haven't installed that many apps since I installed the zeus, it can't be that hard to find out which one it is. I froze the apps "BetterBatteryStats" and "BatteryCalibration" with Titanium Backup now since they are apps that I did not have installed prior to zeus and will see whether the push ads reappear.
Next in line will be "ConverterPro", "FasterFix", "GPS Status", "Rom Manager", and "System Toolbox Free".

yeah me too every single day but it written: "Download Free Burn The Rope App... blablabla..."
I dont know is it from zeus or app from market that I've installed... oh and again... I use GPS Status too... or maybe the ad. from GPS Status app?
Install this app
Do a scan
Then uninstall the app with airpush
nikpik, thanks for the tip. AirPush Detector did in fact find an AirPush app that the other app ("Addons Detector") did not detect.
It found "System Toolbox Free" to be the culprit, which I installed after Zeus in order to fix some GPS related stuff if i remember correctly. I haven't been using it for quite a while now, but it had some updates recently that probably included this great feature.
and gone it is...
I installed almost all airpush detectors and all failed to detect it.
The add is "king fighter II"
not from the rom.... ive not encountered any at all
also not from the "battery calibration" thats included in zeus im pretty sure about that....
try freezing and unfreezing the apps that youve recently installed one by one if detector apps fail to locate.... =)
for me it was a wallpaper hd app...airpush helped me...thx
Next time do not slander Zeus rom whether you are not sure what's the source of the ads. It's misleading and mudslinging.
This rom is the best rom for our phone(in my opinion), it's a way better than lg stock rom.
you can also use adFree (need rooted phone) a free program from market that can disable all ads on your phone. i use it and i don't see any ads on any of the free programs i have installed.

[Q] How to force stop selected apps instead of killing

Hi,
I have a doubt in "Force stop"ing applications.
I have some applications that run in background after closing it. For example Facebook, YouTube, etc.,
If I use any task manager to kill the app, it automatically opens again in seconds.
But I came to know from one of xda member, if we "Force stop" the application using settings -> app manager, it will not be started until we launch the application again. My expected option.
Now my question:
Is there any app available in market that force closes (not kill) selected apps?
Note: Please don't bring up the story that "android by itself have task killer and manage itself". I want to know a functionality similar to force stop available in app manager.
Thanks in advance,
Senthur
LBE works god for me

Hide apps?

Is there anyway way we can hide our apps on our phone?
I know there is the uninstall/disable option but I'm looking for the option to just hide the apps. I want to keep them installed, but just have them out of my app drawer. Ive used a couple app hiding programs but they disable the apps when they're hidden too.
I use App Quarantine, but you need root for that app.

Thanks, but its still disabling the app (which is what I don't want). Don't think I was clear on that.

Most third-party launchers allow this. I use Apex and you can basically hide an app from being show in the drawer; similar to what earlier versions of Android offered.

I'm trying to stay on the stock launcher which is why this is so annoying. I've been modding the stock launcher apk to make everything to my liking.
I actually like the stock launchers on Samsung phones but other phones I always use a different launcher. If I can't get, its not the end of the world.
( Just softbricked my phone again...Have to redo EVERYTHING lol :laugh: )
App to hide
Im using CCSWE App Manager from play store. It work fine for me, and hide( not freeze or uninstall) all apps i need.

[Q] Froze a lot of bloatware, now cannot install new apps

I have a rooted Me176cx running version .198, and have frozen a ton of bloatware, but now I cannot install sideloaded apk files. It's like the "install" button won't respond when I tap it. Is there a specific software that won't allow apps to be installed that I may have frozen---there are too many to list, or to unfreeze one by one. Just curious if you guys knew which one to unfreeze.
thanks
Edit: Nevermind - I did some more digging, and found out that the Blue Light filter app I was using was interfering with the touch response. Very strange. Anyway, I disabled that app, and was successfully able to install the 3rd party software.
Freezing....
PunderCat.... How do you find the performance after freezing the bloatware? and are there any apps that you know that I shouldn't freeze?
Cheers

==> To install apps, you need at least com.android.defcontainer as a system app and com.android.packageinstaller can be a user app (/data).

Looking for an App that opens other apps

I am looming for an App that opens all apps at once or just opens selected apps at certain times through the day.
tasker?
Automate it, macrodroid

automagisk
Try an app called TRIGGER. I have been using it for years now and it works really well and isn't over complicated.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher&hl=en
Also there's an app called AUTOMATE
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate&hl=en
If you use these just remember to exclude them from battery optimisation settings.
Of course there's always TASKER, but that has a bit of a learning curve
