Show tasker scene in recent apps list - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hello all,
i made a Geocaching scene with tasker and would like to switch between that scene and another APP... But when i press the home button, the scene disappears. Other apps still remain in the recent apps list. Is there a way to have the scene in that list so i can switch it with another APP.
Thanks!

A scene isn't an app so it can't be shown in the Recent apps list. It's just overlay.
Your best option is probably to either create a shortcut to the task and place it on your home screen, use AutoNotification to create a notification that shows the scene when clicked on, or to use the Autobubbles alpha app to use a bubble as a shortcut.

OK, thank you for your help. Downloading AutoNotification right now...

You need to setup a profile that reacts to when you click on the notification.
Here's a tutorial made by the developer that explains it further :-}

You can make an app too. Use Tasker APP Factory to get .apk file, install and use as u want to

Halo

I'm really liking the new ROM, but I am curious what Halo does? Is it just a faster way to launch certain apps? The app says is optimized for Paranoid Android, but I assume you tweaked it to work well with AOIP. Help? Thanks.

Its reads notifications with you whitelist them and can open them in a floating window also you can add up to 6 apps and use them as a shortcut and they will open in a floating window. For example if you was on tube and you got a text you can text that person back without it interfering with your youtube activity.

Nice. I see how to add the apps running in the background, which can send notifications, but how do i get the icon on the homescreen?

Go to aoip settings and go to halo setting turn it on ypu can also customize it and when your done slide down in the notificarion tray you shoyld see a circle press it and it should be on your home screen. Now you need to double tap to drag it where you please.

Yeah it takes getting use to but its good for multi tasking if you have the need to and it doesnt kill you last activity which is nice about floating windows because it just overlays over your current activity

New to Tasker: toggle Mobile Data + GPS on non-rooted device

Hi,
New to Tasker and am absolutely amazed by it's capabilities!
Got a new Galaxy S7, which I am unable to root at this point in time.
I really need a way to toggle Mobile Data and GPS on/off.
Did quite a bit of reading and searching and only found info for rooted devices. Even tried Secure Settings, which of course needs root to toggle them.
Is there ANY way I can toggle mobile data on/off without root???
GPS will be nice as well but less critical.
Will appreciate any help.
Y.
It can be done by using AutoInput but it would require the screen to be on.
I would also appreciate some help on this too, especially the autoinput method. I got parts of it to work, like opening location settings and clicking location on if off. But I'm having trouble creating the task if location is already on. Also, the exit task is giving me fits too because every time the task runs when I open maps, it exits the app to location settings to click the on location, thus activating the exit task before I even get to use the maps haha. It basically goes on a loop for me and can't figure it out. Any help on how to configure this would be appreciated.

Is there a way to turn the screen on with Tasker?
If so, perhaps I can use the combination of Tasker and AutoInput to achieve toggling mobile data on off?
(I found Turn On under Display in Tasker but it has a cross on it so I don't think I can select it. Is there another plugin that will turn the screen on?... that is without root)

Only works if screen lock security is set to none or swipe.
I have fingerprint unlock setup.
Back to square one.
svampsson... That XML file is only for screen Brightness. I did try tinkering with it to have it work for location Toggle instead but it still gave me trouble. The global action on it would not go back to the app after toggling location on. Any ideas? Thanks for the help tho.
Hi,
I just installed tasker app on my Galaxy S7 Edge.
I tried to create a task to switch on GPS when running Pokemon App and then switch off once app is closed.
Task:
1. Launch App
App Pokemon Go Data %LOC
I run the task, as expected, it opens pokemon go app and 4G(gps) icon appears on the upper-left corner of my phone. But the icon won't disappear when I manually turn off the Location on Quick Settings.
Please help how to restore Location icon on-off.
Thank you

Do you have root? It is very easy to turn high accuracy GPS ON/OFF with Secure settings-plugin. If no root you can do it with Autoinput.

EMUI 4 Lock Screen

If anyone can help:
I would like to change (or at least try) the EMUI4 default lockscreen - magazine. Does anyone know, firstly if this is possible, and secondly, what files do I have to modify?
Thanks in Advance!

Yes. It is possible. Go in setting---> screen lock and passwords--->screen lock styles.

Thanks, but I was talking about changing the code. If I did of what you said on the previous post, I wouldn't be able to get any notifications on the lockscreen.

So if i understand you correctly you want Magazine lock with notifications !!
If so it does work as mine is set like that.

Not exactly. In order to get all the notifications on this phone, you have to use the magazine. I wanted to make (or modify an existing one - even the magazine) lockscreen that would show all the notifications, with some shortcuts or even a time or weather widget, compatible with an s view case.
The simplest thing would be to transfer the displayed time on the upper half of the screen.
Ok I see, not sure In that case.

The only way I can think is clearing security credentials and using a third party lock screen. I did the same with my p8lite to remove stick lock screen. I tried with p9lite and i couldn't remove lock screen even when clearing credentials.

Screenshot shortcut

Hello everyone, on my Note 8 I had a shortcut icon that allowed a single click in the panel to make a screenshot but on my Note 9 I can not find it!
Thanks for your help
on ur n8 was rooted ?? lol ...
use the power+volume down or use swipe hand or use softkey edge panel its free
screen shoot in toogle need root to add it View attachment 4612279
Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk
Hello and thanks for your answer. No my Note 8 was not rooted but it got a shortcut in shortcut panel for screenshot. Impossible to find it on my new Note 9
It could have been some app you had installed that added it
Don’t know if this is what you had set up on your Note 8, but there is a screenshot option in the assistant menu that you can set up in the Accessibility section of settings. Go to Settings>Accessibility>Dexterity and Interaction>Assistant Menu - turn the menu on and click for options, one of which is Screenshots. It works great!
Hope that helps!

I think it has been mentioned, without root, go to advanced settings
Enable palm swipe to capture.
Then when you want a screenshot simply swipe from left to right across whole height of screen.

One hand operation
Try the "Quick Settings" app that allows you to add a bunch of items to your quick access panel

Hello good alternative thanks a lot. But it's not exactly the same result that the native one. When you make a screenshot you don't have the native option

You mean with the scroll capture and sharing options? Yeah this shortcut just saves it for you without any of that.

Pie keep killing my apps in background

Hello, since the update to Android Pie my phone is killing the app in background everytime i switch them. Since i use my phone for games it's very frustrating to restart the app everytime. How can i keep my apps open? Thanks in advance and sorry for my english
Maybe it is turned on in your developer options, that apps would strictly be killed after not in use. In developer options (Phone-info->software-info->tapping on buildnumber, till its unlocked) under the apps section ist the point you could maybe turn off.

Have you added the apps to the "sleeping apps" in battery settings?

Make sure they are allowed background access in app settings for battery.
Have you tried wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode? It could be a simple software conflict.
Much easy to add app to run in backrground is on desktop long press on icon than press info about app...After that options of that app is open there choose battery options and than tick allow runing in background
You can check in device manager/battery if there is set to no run in background apps

From here? It still keep closing after 20 or less minutes
I have done an hard reset after update
Help my apps are closing overnight I wake up in morning and my 26 apps have closed and only 4 apps left.ive tried everything including factory reset. Please help guys
A late reply but go to:
Settings>Apps Tap the 3 dots in the top corner and choose 'Special access' then choose 'Optimise battery usage'. From the choice of 'Apps not optimised' and 'All' choose 'All'. Turn off Optimise for each app you don't want to close automatically.
