Can we use tasker (to create a scene of a folder)
And custom quick settings app (to create a custom quick setting which will trigger that scene)
Which will as a result emulate folders in quick settings like on homescreen.

I use System Settings » Security » Privacy Guard quite often (cynaogenmod 11). So I would like to add a shortcut to that on my home screen. How do I do that?
(I would appreciate if there is a way to do this without a 3rd party app)
Download Launcher 3 from KitKat (CM11) ROM....this stock launcher has this as an inbuilt feature....
now i am on cyanogenmod 11. how do i add the Privacy Guard shortcut to my home screen?
not possible? is there at least an xposed module for this?
I Know this is old but it can be done know with app called quickshortcutmaker. Install through google play store, open and search for privacy. This will bring up a few setting process that can be created as shortcuts. You can also try the shortcut before creating so you know it will work. The correct process to create the shortcut is call $AppOpsSummaryActivity
How do a widget what will be enable and disable tasker? Or how with widget to enable or disable profile what i have in tasker?
I'm searching the same question. If I find anything, I'll report back.
To disable, sure. But if it's disabled of course, any widget created to enable it would never run....Because Tasker is disabled.

Just an idea:
Theoretically you can enable Tasker by:
- automatic tapping: record the keystrokes/taps and than have it done for you when you use the widget.
- or by first killing Tasker to disable it, than when you need, run Tasker again.
For that to work, you can use Tasker to create an app with a widget, this way that function does not depend on Tasker running or not.
I do hope that with coming updates, there will eventually be a way to do this officially from Tasker.

That's a good idea.

Create a new task (not profile) and set a variable to 1 for on and 0 for off. Use a variable name that makes sense. Add a condition to the profile that requires the new variable to be set to 1. Assign an icon to the task (button in bottom right corner of task window) and then go to the home screen and add a new widget. Scroll down to tasker in the widget list and point it to your new task. The task simply changes the variable to its opposite value when it runs. You can also set the name of the widget and change the on screen icons with tasker actions.
I've seen a lot of automation apps that allow you to make a quick settings tile to perform custom tasks, but I want to do the reverse. Certain apps on my phone like PIA VPN have a quick settings tile and it's the only way to toggle the VPN without the UI showing up. I would like to use it with MacroDroid/Tasker. Is there a universal method of activating quick settings tile of a 3rd party app with Tasker/MacroDroid without touch shenanigans? Thanks.
I've seen on Reddit that you can potentially do this through Tasker's "Launch App" action.
When you're in the screen selection for the app, instead of taping on the app (here PIA VPN), long press on it and you'll see some different options. Hopefully there is one related to the tile. Reddit post mentions it as: LaunchVPNForTileService

I use PIA also but I run mine through OpenVPN. I can connect and disconnect through it whenever I am connected through my work network. It does pop up the app but it closes automatically. On disconnect, it doesn't show

Yeah, for PIA, there happens to be a tile service activity which can be used to do the same as it's quick setting tile, but this doesn't seem to be universal. Even Shazam has a tile to auto-shazam, but there isn't any tile service activity associated with it that I could find. (Not that I want to use auto-shazam with tasker.) I was wondering whether there was a universal solution to this, just like how IntentTask allows you to use ANY app shortcut with Tasker. Guess we'll have to wait until some dev comes up with an app to solve this problem. Thanks.
PSA/Guide - How to set custom tones in Gmail, hide "running in background.."
The solution is not my own, I found a post where someone tried to hide a running process notification. But it gave me an idea. And boy, was I correct.
So, what's the fuss about?
Apparently, Huawei's skin (EMUI) loves to not only change how Android works, but it also hides some functions. Such function is custom notification tones for accounts in Gmail. And the option to hide "running in the background" notification.
How do you get this function back?
- Use an activity launcher, or a custom Launcher like Nova.
- Open "Settings", and look for "App notifcations" (".Settings$NotificationAppListActivity").
This will grant you ALL the options you might be missing from pure AOSP/Android.
- tested and confirmed on EMUI 8.1 (GPU Boost update)
How to set Gmail tones?
1) Open Gmail from the new Activity
2) Tap your account you want to modify
3) ???
4) Profit
How to hide running...
1) Tap top-left "..."
2) Show system processes
3) find Android System
4) ???
5) Profit!
What? Sorry but your instructions are as clear as mud.
Hoo boy, I was going to write a guide explaining how to access notification importance and the Do Not Disturb override from EMUI. When I wrote the title, XDA found this thread as similar.
If you're on EMUI and you're looking desperately for how to set an app's notification importance (urgent, high, normal or low), and set it to override do not disturb settings, follow the steps in the OP! If you need a specific activity launcher, you can download Activity Launcher from Google Play (unfortunately I didn't find the app on APK Mirror).
Thnx for the tip!!
Download App Shortcut Maker, search for the activity needed and create a shortcut.
Hi,
The following are few tricks for unrooted stock miui 12. These are somewhat basics and possibly known methods. Please feel free to share your thoughts or share something that hasn't been included.
1. Double tap lock screen on third party launcher
- Install OneKeyLockScreen-signed from https://drive.google.com/file/d/15kfzoSnz6WOSh8KD2LTNT297nEfOPexd/view?usp=drivesdk This is not my work so credits to OP / dev.
- Grant necessary permission
- Set double tap gesture on launcher settings
- Screen will be locked instantly, no 10 seconds waiting time nonsense. Fingerprint unlock works.
You can also use "Button shortcuts" in Settings to turn off (and lock) screen using long press
2. Add media / volume control on quick ball
- Install Media Volume Control from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.krdevteam.mediavolumecontrol
- Open Quick Ball settings
- Replace one of current shortcuts with "App"
- Select (Media) Volume Control
3. If Quick Ball isn't your cup of tea, you can use "Shortcutter" or "Tiles" to add available shortcuts to quick settings tiles.
4. Add Accessibility Menu to nav bar, as an alternative to Quick Ball
- Go to "Accessibility"
- Turn on "Accessibility Menu"
- It will show up on bottom right corner, comprises of a handful shortcuts including volume panel, toggles etc
- The downside is, it's not one-hand operation friendly.
- On the other hand, if you use Control Center with third party launcher, selecting 'Toggles' will show Control Center.
This particularly useful since swipe down gesture on the right side of home screen will show notifications i/o CC
5. User friendly debloat tool with GUI (executable JAR), credits to dev
