Hi everyone!
I just created my first Tasker plug-in. This plug-in enables you to send an adb shell command to any other device on the network that has adb over wifi enabled. I for example use it to turn my androidtv on or off by sending it the command "input keyevent POWER". You can also open specific activities in apps for example or simulate touch input.
Please read the description before using it and don't hesitate to leave feedback/bug reports/tips! This is my first app ever published so I still have a lot to learn.
You can download it for free from the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ADBPlugin
Edit: It's now also available on XDA Labs! You can find it here
First update is live!
This includes proper (cat)logs and Tasker errors if something went wrong, so if you run in any problems, you can now tell me . It also plays a lot nicer with the Tasker timeout system.
@Humpie
Thanks for this plugin. I allready made a project for my sony android tv. Start apps and controll media play.
But to make the plugin better I have some featur requests:
It would be nice to be able to work with tasker variables. e.g input text "%mytext".
Another feature reqest would be to get a output variable for commands with output like adb shell pm list packages.

Thanks for the tips! Will definitely add variable support and I'll also have a look at output variables. They are visible in the logs already, but not yet to tasker.
Why can't we use the built-in code Acton in Tasker? Is there a difference?

In fact there is, since android 4.something google removed adb from android devices, so you can't perform adb commands from your phone, well aside from my plugin that is.
There would however be no difference if your remote device did have Tasker and you programmed it so that a certain action does something with code. However, you would have to figure out a way to contact that device etc...
Second update! The Plugin now has Tasker variable support!
(enjoy @MartelKombat btw I'm still thinking about how to implement your other request!)
I doont understand. I can type the code, but i do have to remove the "adb sell" part of the code but it's good to go… is that not what this plugin does?

How to run root commands on an unrooted device with this plugin
I just wanted to share how I use this plugin, just to give others an example of what this nice plugin is capable of.
Recently, I bought a new device and for now, I have no intention of rooting it. Coming from a rooted OnePlus One, this means some of my Tasker profiles do not work as expected anymore and I have to find workarounds.
On LineageOS (and CyanogenMod before that), we have the option to display left/right cursor arrows in the navigation bar when typing text. I always loved this feature, since placing the cursor in the right position by tapping will always be a hit&miss game. Since my new device (S7 Edge) has no onscreen navigation bar, I was searching for a replacement solution to move the cursor. I came up with the idea that it would be quite handy to use the volume buttons for this. So, the idea was the following:
IF the keyboard is shown THEN use the volume keys to move the cursor (and suppress any volume changes, if possible).
It took me a while to figure out how to determine whether the keyboard is out (solution: install another keyboard and intercept the "change input method" notification as a trigger). Suppressing the volume keys' usual behaviour was easy (AutoInput -> Key Suppress) but the final step turned out to be quite difficult: How to move the cursor?
After doing some extensive research, I always came to the same point: "not possible without root". Damn.
But then, this plugin came in. The keyword "remote" in its name might suggest that you can use this plugin only to act from one device to another, but that's not true. Actually, you can use this plugin to run adb commands on the same device.
What does that mean? It means that you can run an adb shell command like "adb shell input keyevent xy" on your phone WITHOUT ROOT. In my case, I can run "input keyevent 21" and "input keyevent 22" to move the cursor. So, how can we do that?
Prerequisites:
Connect your device via ADB to a PC (google it if you don't know how) and run the command "adb tcpip 5555". That's it, you can disconnect your device now.
Then in Tasker, create an action with this plugin and type in the following:
IP Address: localhost
Port: 5555
ADB Shell Command: input keyevent POWER
Hit the play button to test this action. If you've done everything right, your screen will turn off.
Congrats, you just executed a command on an unrooted device which usually requires root privileges!
Important:
The only downside is, the tcpip setting does not survive a reboot, so you have to set the port 5555 again via PC after rebooting the device.
I hope I explained the important part well enough. If that's not the case, don't hesitate to quote me and I'll answer here.

I'm sorry for my absence, really busy with school etc. (honestly, I also completely forgot, I hope you can forgive me). I'll try to look into it soon (this week or the next) and see how far I get. I really like that you like my plugin! I just found out myself last week that I can let unrooted phones send shell commands to themselves using my plugin, so I'm glad to see you found it out as well! (I used it for snapchat to simulate volume key presses, which is also possible without root indeed: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/699sav/project_share_handsfree_snapchat_picture_and/ It also works for other camera apps that require you to hold the button to film, like whatsapp etc)
Edit: I hope it pleases you to hear that today I started working on it again. I already have the responses bundled in a list in Java, now I just need to parse them to Tasker

Yes, you have to remove the "adb shell" part since all my plugin does is access the adb shell part. This means commands like adb pull etc won't work, that requires a different type of connection, that for now I can't achieve with Tasker. But running any remote shell command should be fine (like how you would run it if you were directly running the commands from a terminal on your phone)

I would like to be able to create such a think but I don't think Google would allow it since it's a big security flaw to have adb opened to the world at all time without notifying the user. Some devices however have a debug over wifi function hidden in the developer options (like the nvidia shield android tv), there you can just enable it and it will probably survive a reboot.
However what I would advise to do if this option is not available, is to create a .bat file on your desktop containing "adb tcpip 5555". That way after a reboot you can just plug in your phone, click the bat file and be done!

Hmm....But there's this custom nav bar app where it allows users to grant it adb shell permissions, and the permission survives over reboots. Auto tools and Securetask relies on the same process as well.
I guess what we're asking for is something that's not as encompassing as your plugin. Me, I just want to execute the power command without root in a way that respects smart lock, which is possible now with your app but doesn't survive a reboot, or with the custom nav bar app, which survives a reboot, but restricts me to using it in a tiny button on the nav bar, as the dev doesn't seem interested in exposing the commands to external usage.

It seems this app uses specific android permissions to be able to send events etc. However my plugin has no direct access to the android system (only by using the adb bridge), so granting my plugin these permissions won't help. What however would help is if I could find a way to enable adb over wifi using only some permissions... I have no clue whether this is possible though as the app would have to call service.adb.tcp.port 5555 for itself and that needs root or an adb connection (so it still requires a laptop XD). I'm still trying though.

I found out it is in fact possible to have wireless adb survive a reboot! However it requires a build.prop edit.
in \system\build.prop "service.adb.tcp.port=5555" needs to be added at the end of the file and then after a reboot adb over wifi will still be enabled (at least it was in my case).
The downside is that this modification can't be done via adb without root unless you have a custom recovery like TWRP and run adb while having that opened and /System/ mounted.
I'm trying to create a zip that modifies the build.prop how it should be modified, but I don't think it's possible to run it through a non-custom recovery...
Edit: I added my .bat file for modifying the build.prop adding that line. It uses an adb connection that requires more rights than what android allows when booted, but should probably work if you are able to access adb from recovery and you are of course booted in recovery mode (using recoveries like TWRP or even some stock manufacturer ones).
Update 4.3 is live!
As requested you can now access the output from the console directly in Tasker.
I tried to order everything neatly in a list, with each line in the console being an item in the list, but this does mean that the initial "device\sdcard $" et cetera get added as an item as well.
But since I didn't want to cut off anything important I just kept it that way. You can just modify the list in any way you want (AutoTools has some handy Array handling tools built in).
I also added some hints in the main screen just for fun.
If you run into any strange behaviour, bugs or have tips, please tell me!

Since most people are using my Plugin locally instead of remotely, I'm thinking of renaming it to just 'ADB Shell [Tasker]'. It would make it simpler when googling it. What do you think?

I wrote this program because I was unable to find a good app capable of recording the other side of the call properly.
Except for AirVoice, all such apps record the speaker rather than the line, and you barely hear the other side in the recordings.
The guy who wrote AirVoice knew the trick but seemed to be very annoyed by the negative feedback from Android Market, where the users of various devices (with the list of supported ones clearly stated!) tried to install that program. Because it wasn't open source, I had to disassemble it in order to write what I wanted exactly.
So the app uses an esoteric HTC driver, and NEEDS THE ROOT ACCESS just to open the device. If you do "adb shell chmod 666 '/dev/voc*' ", it'll never ask you for root access (but you have to be ROOT to execute that command).
It writes the calls in either WAV (recommended) or MP3 format (not tested much; needs some time to encode the file after the call, but the size is about 4 times smaller), stereo (left ear is your voice, right is that of the other party), to "/sdcard/voix" directory.
The kernel driver itself is kinda buggy. Actually, the auto-answer mode is non-functional for kendon's & ninpo's kernels (others not tested). Do NOT select it in Settings unless you've got such ROM and particularly need to reboot your phone on each incoming call . It'd be nice if somebody try to fix that.
If you select "Ask each time" for any incoming calls, be sure to wait half a mo until the confirmation dialog appears. The "Foreground service" (default) setting is also recommended because Android may otherwise kill it if memory is low.
Any comments are welcome. I'm not sure that I'll ever add something to this program because I'm too lazy for that, but any bugs will reasonably be fixed. The code is open source, PM me if you're a programmer and have any ideas how to improve it.
=======================
NOV 24 UPDATE
Numerous improvements/corrections/bugfixes (I'm not removing the previous version as this one haven't been much tested).
Enjoy!
Thanks dude. Great job

Added as an option in Settings. Also fixed a triffle UI bug (forgetting to set proper dialog attributes).
Just tried this, works great on my Hero (Vanilla Eclair 4.0). Thank you very much for this one!
Interesting software. Could you possibly add a new feature: The app saves all calls, but deletes them, if you don't move them to another folder/to your PC.
This because I could record all of my calls, without the risk of making a huge 1Gt folder to fill up my memory. So if the user could choose how many recent calls (2,5,10) the app saves before deleting them I'd be great!
What about battery draining?
This great app is also tiny enough not to reduce drastically battery duration?
TIA
I'd love to see this generalized to not require the HTC driver. Do you think that would be possible?
cool app. anyone know if it would be possible to play an audio file directly to the caller? would come in handy rickrolling damn telemarketers
Very good work. Handy app, for sure.
Can you enable recording mid call?
Works in all Androis Devices? I have a Milestone.
Awesome idea, I've been looking for exactly this sort of software.
I'm having a bug I hope someone can help me with. When I start the program I get a prompt that says "Device does not exist, or its permissions cannot be changed." When I click "OK" it takes me to the screen to uninstall the program.
I'm running an Evo, fully rooted, NAND unlocked, running Virus Airbourne ROM and King #11 kernel.
I never get the prompt from the SuperUser app to give the app root access.
I tried the adb command but it gave me the error:
Unable to chmod dev/voc*: No such file or directory
Having same issue on rooted G2.

This is amazing app. The only thing I would beg the author to consider a white status bar icon for normal running service as colored icons there usually break the aestetics of Android UI. The icon can change or become colored while recording, but when only running in the background it should remain white.
I have the same problem (link to uninstall) on my Nexus One. Everything works fine on Hero
Awesome developer Joao have (yesterday) released a brand new app called AutoTools to his big AutoApps-library. It´s supposed to be a ``supercharged Tasker´´. For example it has it´s own ``secure settings´´ very similar to the old original Secure Settings-app it self that stopped development a couple of years ago. And wait for it... it does NOT require root!
There are though warnings that claims the functions will not work on all phones and also to enable ``secure settings´´ you need to connect the phone to a PC and install a specific software etc. (all info is in the app).
I have not yet dived into all the functions myself but only checked it briefly. But this is exactly what Tasker needs And who else to bring it than Joao, he is really brilliant :good:
Read more HERE and take a look at the really informative Youtube video.
About the ``Secure settings´´ function.
AutoTools Secure Settings
This allows you to change settings on your device that you normally wouldn't be able to with Tasker
NO ROOT is needed for this action
Examples
Turn GPS on when in Google Maps, turn it off otherwise (No Root!)
Change Animation Speed with a Quick Tile on Android 7 and Above
Change input keyboard depending on situation
Set Screen Orientation
To use this, AutoTools needs to be granted permission to change secure settings on your device
How to grant AutoTools the Secure Settings permission
Enable Developer Mode: Go to Android Settings -> About Phone and look for the Build Number option. Touch it multiple times until developer mode is enabled.
Enable USB Debugging: Go to Android Settings -> and look for the Developer Options option. In there, enable the USB debugging option.
Install ADB on your PC: Check here for a quick way to do it.
Connect device to PC: Connect your device to a PC and look on your phone. A prompt should show up asking you to allow your phone to be debugged by your PC. Accept this.
Grant permission: Open a command line on your PC and write
adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Congratulations, AutoTools should now be able to use the "Secure Settings" action!

This is a lifesaver coming from Tasker + Secure Settings and System Module+ enabled which is not functioning with Marshmallow for GPS until I found someone talking about this app. Confirmed working with Marshmallow on LG G5 I'm very happy as soon as I saw it worked, I just bought the full version. This was the only issue I had as I like to use Waze often in my car and one or two less clicks is just another annoyance I didn't need :laugh:

Hi there,
I hope, someone can help me
I'm using Tasker for a while on several devices. For example I use profiles which turn location mode off or to high accuracy (using external app Autotools - Secure Settings) and mobile data on or off (using external app toggle data 5.0). This worked well until I updated our Oneplus 5T to Android 8.0.
The external app commands seem to work sometimes, but the rest of the profile tasks aren't executed and next time the commands don't work anymore.....
FYI: Autotools is granted permission to write secure settings and toggle data 5.0 has root access.
Toggle data 5.0 also got a widget to turn mobile data on or off and this works perfectly but tasker seems to have problems to use this external app and the app seems to freeze for a while after executing the task .
I attached an image from a run, where tasker managed to change location mode to high accuracy but stopped after this task with an error.
All apps are up to date (Tasker v5.1, Autotools v2.1.bf, Toggle Data 1.5.2.0) and the Oneplus 5T is on the latest Oxygen OS Version 5.0.4 (but on 5.0.3. the tasks didn't work either).
Thanks in advance
Better to include the log from running the task, probably a logcat as well since there is communication with plug-ins and it's always a good idea to share your profile when it's not working as expected. Make sure it's named - not a default name assigned by tasker. Then long press on the name to highlight the profile. Go to the 3-dot menu and select export -> Description to Clipboard.
Then you'll be able to paste it. Be aware, it easier to use pastebin then link to a post here. If you paste in a post here, the forum software will convert all semicolons with characters after, typically "on" and "off" to emoticons making it very hard to read.

Thank you very much for your answer
After a quick research I found the two shell commands "svc data enable" and "svc data disable" to enable and disable mobile data which work fine with root permission:good:
Do you know, if there are commands for changing location mode to off and high accuracy, too? I only found commands like " adb shell settings put secure location_providers_allowed ' ' " but these didn't work.
Thanks in advance.
Try changing location_mode from 3 to 0.

Could you please tell me the exact command, for example for location mode 0? The command i found doesn't work because the terminal and tasker can't use ADB....
.
Just take off the "adb shell" part:
settings get secure location_providers_allowed

Run the "get" command to be sure you have the right values before changing them.
(BTW if AutoTools doesn't work Secure Settings or Secure Task might be worth trying.)

Just take off the "adb shell" part:

With your help and another research and tests I finally found the solution:laugh:
Thank you very much for your help
If you or anyone else wants to know the correct commands:
Turn location mode to high accuracy:
Code:
settings put secure location_providers_allowed +network,gps
Turn location mode off:
Code:
settings put secure location_providers_allowed -network,gps
Turn mobile data on:
Code:
svc data enable
Turn mobile data off:
Code:
svc data disable

This sounds like you want to disable DND (do not disturb). The action for that doesn't require root. It's in audio category. The "all" setting will allow all sound, effectively disabling DND. I believe you must enable Tasker's notification setting in the system settings (main OS, not Tasker). If you are using any relatively recent Tasker version, you should be prompted for any missing permissions the first time you setup the (any) action.

Yes, Tasker is designed to run most of its actions without needing root. You do need to give permissions through ADB for some restricted actions, such as using the AutoTools plugin -> secure settings action. I think this is the action you are asking about. See Tasker User Guide - Grant Secure Settings
I have no idea what you mean by "I then get an if statement".
If you have a task (or profile) that doesn't work the way you expect, it helps others help you if you post the entire task (profile).
Before exporting, if you have sensitive information such as logins, api keys or anything else, you might consider setting those values to a variable and use the variable in your tasks so the values won't export with the task.
To export a task (profile) description for posting, press on the name to highlight the task (profile). Go to the 3-dot menu and select export -> Description to Clipboard.
Now you'll be able to paste it. Be aware, it easier to use something like pastebin.com / hastebin.com and link to a post here. If you paste directly into a post here, the forum software will convert semicolons with characters directly after, into emoticons making it very hard to read.
Thanks for the replys
It's my wife's phone she goes to work and turns the sound off (not the DND) She drops the menu down and clicks on the sound icon then there is a line through the speaker icon at top of screen. She forgets to turn on the sound when she leaves work and I can't get ahold of her cause she can't hear the phone ringing. Was hoping to use tasker to turn sound back on at 5pm

ADB requires the proper drivers for the device installed on the computer your using. Using a data cable would be more reliable than over Wi-Fi, particularly to set-up. At the top of the forum, in the search manufacture and model of the device then it's forum should show up in the results. Every device forum has an "ask any question help thread". If you can't find how to ADB to the device in the forum, that's a good thread to get help in.
However, to turn the ringer volume up doesn't require anything special. Audio -> ringer volume. Explore all of the volume settings actions in the audio category.
Ok ill explore how to install ADB for my phone. In regards to the sound. You said it easy to turn volume up but my system volume is off not turned down Any option I try to turn volume up does not work. I dont see an option to first turn it back on
OK well Ill be dam. Figured out the ADB
Now its working turns the sound on at the specified time
Thanks for all your help have a good day
Basically i need something that can be ran via terminal emulator, or a third party app that i can install which will crash the setup that happens after a factory reset.... Reason is my setup is corrupted, and until it sends a completed flag to my phone, all preloaded apps, as well as many functions in settings are disabled, and also the phone does not activate the MTP protocol so i cannot use adb, because the phone hasnt released the block of it. My setup crashes approx 7 seconds after i touch the screen to start going thru it. I can use trickery to allow me to NEARBY SHARE apk files, and more trickery to load them... but that is as far as the phone will permit. So i really just need a solid method to BREAK or CRASH the android setup, or a command that will have permissions capable of "Config_Settings_Device_Setup_Complete=1" or something to that sort. Remember i am limited to Termux and Terminal Emulator...

If you have no access to ADB or apps of any kind and no other access to the device then no I don't think you can..
If your device isn't working then why not just flash a payload.bin via Fastboot enhance and get your device working again

i am on a Oneplus 10Pro ORIGINALLY T-Mobile branded NE2217... They disabled Hardware Key combinations for Fastboot, and FastbootD .... only recovery and edl are still active! But lemme clear up a few things.....
I CAN INSTALL apps.... certain ones will not open after install, mainly any Web Browser, 3rd party search, file manager, or email client... no app that can reach out to the Internet...
WHAT I CAN LOAD is apps like Terminal Emulator, Termux, Launchers, the plain "FIles" file manager, and many more. I can access the shelf in the black screen, and thru it i can jump into the crippled Settings app, followed by "Home Screen Settings", and when i change the orientation of the app list, (vertical, horizontal), it takes me to a handicapped Home screen.. looks completely normal, but EVERY icon says "cannot find package" when clicked. i managed to force Terminal Emulator, and Termux to install and open. I can do others, provided it is something that is readily availble somewhere.
In the About Phone tab, when i go to version number, and start tapping build, it does nothing... because its locked out, just like all the apps are.... Everything normal is in some kind of perpetual hold state, that will only release when , "Android_Config_Status_User_Complete = 0" changes to "1".
This is why i need a System UI crash to take down the setup app... then i can go enable USB DEBUGGING, run the command to get back to FastBoot, and use the tool to flash a payload. But til i can break the hold, i am limited severely in what the device will allow me to do.
If you can root your device and run su in termux you can uninstall the setup apk.
Actually they may not work if you can't get into Fastboot...
Tbh I'd send it back...T mobile strikes again...
