Google Pixel and Tasker - Tasker Tips & Tricks

I am new to Tasker and I just got the new Pixel. I have been watching a lot of how to videos and I am loving Tasker. Has anyone have and ideas or how-to's to automate "Data Saver" and/or "Battery Saver"? Also, if you have any good source of material for Tasker How-to's I would love the material.
Thanks in Advance

The Tasker reddit page (sorry I can't link because I am a noob and the privilege has been restricted) will have much of what you need. On the right of the page, there are resources for hours!

In YouTube there are many detailed videos on creating specific Tasker profiles and tasks.

reddit.com/r/tasker has a whole bunch of tutorials listed on their sidebar to the right of the page.

Published update for applock on tasker wiki

I've published my additions to the tasker applock on the wiki page. This is my first attempt at programming in tasker and I'm pretty proud of it. Keep in mind I'm not a programmer I'm a bus driver. If you have any suggestions on how to improve my methods please feel free to share.

First, I applaud you. Not just for giving Tasker a shot, but posting and sharing. Its an app that's more powerful than any other app, probably by a Dev that's more powerful than 99% any other dev. Like Tasker and Xposed devs (chainfire too) would cure all bad things if they joined forces. So the learning curve is STEEEEEEP and since there's about 2000 other ways to do whatever it is anyone is doing in Tasker, it's very very daunting. Kudos.
Now having said that, I instantly turn away from anything with an "app context" in Tasker as it uses polling which will inevitably crush battery life.
I refuse... REFUSE to have a single profile that utilizes it, (and have completely removed all WAIT actions from my tasks too.. Just bragging here)
I would rather see something that utizes shell commands or permission settings on the package before app polling. Just my thoughts and has NOTHING to do with your tasks. Just sharing my ideas

Hey there! Unfortunately I do not... I wish there was though! If you are rooted there is always TiBu, I used to just do that until I stopped rooting my devices a few years ago. Thanks for reading my post!
when you create a task and go to Tasker action, there is something called Set Tasker Pref. You can use this to set different aspects of Tasker configuration, isn't this what you want?

That method can do a few things however it will handle a very limited amount of items compared to my list. Hope that helps!

[HELP] Create a shortcut to app info's settings cog that was introduced in Nougat

Brief explanation of the function here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...e-a-settings-button-in-androids-app-info-page
Need some developer knowledge involving the described intent. To infer what the shortcut needs.
The actual purpose I have is changing Spotify quality quickly without extra steps.

I think that linked page was pretty clear. Maybe you need to know how to add settings to your app; Google Developer Training 9.2: Adding Settings to an App.
However this is the Tasker forum and not app development.

The Spotify app already has the settings cog in app info. I want to access that shortcut with Tasker directly. I'm requesting help with developer knowledge because I'm curious if the involved intent is accessible to Tasker.

The way to find the intents available in the Spotify app is to read through the manifest for the app. I'm sure that intent is in the Spotify manifest, it's the method to create the link.
