[GUIDE/Code] Work/home traffic monitor - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hi guys,
Recently I've created some (my first actually) tasks and profiles in Tasker and I thought it would be nice to share this with you. After all sharing is caring
The goal of this app is to notify me of the current delay on my route between home and work (in the morning from home to work and in the afternoon from work to home). One of the solutions to do this was to make the navigation start automatically but the downside of this is that I am then forced to always grab my phone, since I am lazy I like to keep it in my pocket and just make it play a sound and/or vibrate at a specific pattern.
First a few screendumps to give you an impression of what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The XML files which can be imported in Tasker as well as a short description can be found at GitHub (and since I can't link to outside of XDA before I reached 10 posts you have to concatenate the URL for now, will fix in the future) at github com/nick31415/Tasker_TrafficMonitor
Since this is my first post here as well, please feedback (both on my post and my project)!
Kind regards,
Nick

Anyone else having the issue of the pictures not being displayed? Even though I've uploaded them to XDA-developers.com it appears that they are referred to as img.xda-cdn.com which is not accessable.

TV Forecast kinda like tool?

Hey, I've been all over google for the past hours and I simply can't find any good android program like TV Forecast for the iPhone..
If you're not familiar with TV Forecast, here's a sample of how it looks. Very basic but very handy:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you have anything like this for a TV-freak, please help me out
Try this one http://www.cyrket.com/package/ukfree.jersey.tvguide
this may suffice for a bit, i wrote it myself, it simply parses a text file from tvrage.com
http://pdxvr.com/wap/t.php
you can limit the number of days by adding a ?d=n on the end of the url where 'n' is a number below 7
I use Record it by Austin Reid, if u have sky plus it can sync with ur account and u can set ur box to record when ur out.
Today I started to keep the history of the TVRage feed I use for the web app and made some links to those days - mostly so I can see the season/episodes I may have missed.

I saw there was an app on the market that parsed the same file I used and shows you that. I think my interface looks nicer than the app even though it's just a web page.

[HELP WANTED] New launcher icon for my app (Storage Analyser)

Hi.
I hope this thread is placed in the right forum, otherwise please feel free to move it.
As the scope of my application is no longer limited to just SDCards, I think it is time for a new icon.
Unfortunately, I do not have a good idea how it should look like or what content it should have.
Currently the app looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see the icon (in the upper left corner) is showing a SDCard right now.
Here are some first drafts of new icons. I'm not happy with both of them so far. But I would like to show them to you, maybe you have an idea to improve one of these concepts.
The first one:
Somehow I like the pictogram style, but somehow it does not work for me. I will try to play with different colors... maybe if I use the blue of the original icon it will look better.
The second one:
Does not work for me as well.
What is your feeling about it?
Maybe you have a complete different idea!?
If you want to see the app in real life, ehe download link for the beta version can be found here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116580417241372596615/116580417241372596615/posts/EzjdP1h3Lqg
If you prefer to discuss on Google+ regarding the new icons, here is the related G+ post: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116580417241372596615/116580417241372596615/posts/JBejt368gy8
Thanks in advanced
How about this?
Two icons easily found on icon host sites joined together.

Weird Quick Charge screen!!

Hi everybody!
I usually do not use/see my phone while charging, but today I've got a SMS notification and found a strange charging screen over the lock screen with advertising on it!!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm pretty sure that this was happening before the update to MM!!
googling around I have found posts about a specific app addded by Asus, could it be that Lenovo did the same?
I didn't found anything strange on my phone apps list
I have runned a full scan with Dr. WEB and it didn't found anything
I am almost sure ( Smiley Happy ) that I didn't install crappy apps, but I may have inadvertingly followed a couple of adv links..
Anyone else is having such screen on MotoG2 with MM? How can I serach for the app showing that screen?
This evening I'll check on my wife's MotoG2...
Thank you!
I have found the (f******g) app: ES App Locker!!
Anobody knows a similar tool? For sure I will not reinstall this one!! And I'm going to give it ONE star right now!!
Addendum: while posting the review on the store I've seen that v1.1.1 was released yesterday... I'm ready to bet that it's this current version that has added this undesiderable feature...

[HELP] how to make compile a Tasker/ Zooper combination widget into an APK

Hy guys Im quite new to Tasker and its infinite possibilities, so naturally I started looking at the tutorials and making them. I recently saw the Tasker week post and took a look around and found an interesting project. That is the Monthly Call and Data Usage one. I started working on it making it compatible with my carrier and with lots of trial and error finished it. Here is my finished project
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see I modified a bit more than the tutorial and added some buttons there to refresh the stats and all. You can check the tutorials for the details.
Well as I was gonna ask, for this widget to work I used Tasker, AutoInput and Zooper Widget Pro . Now my question is if I want to compile this project into an APK to share with my people how do I go about it? since there are 3 apps used in its working. Is it even possible.?
Im asking this because I know Taskers profiles and tasks can be made into APKs and Zooper Widget pro also has such a function in it to output its layout profiles into APKs. So what do you guys think?
PS: Im very new to Tasker so please go easy on me guys :fingers-crossed:

Problem with my head units, not work

Hello
I have a problem with my head units.
The device worked properly only two weeks.
Now the device works only a few minutes after switching on. After a while the picture will freeze and the Artifact will appear. More and more Artifact until the display turns into one color (white or purple on the pictures). Then the display turns off completely. The radio can still be heard from the speakers, the touch screen and touch buttons are not working.
When I press the reset button, it resets the device but it will not turn on.
It will turn on after 2-3 hours of parking
Has anyone had a similar problem and can I give you a hint as to how to fix it?
Regards and sorry for my poor English
