[Guide] Kill all frozen apps with Tasker

Hello,
Do you had frozen some system apps and bloatwares ? Did you observed that these are not killed ?
Here is a script for Tasker, to force stop (kill) all frozen apps (greenify). It’s cleaner than just freeze. These are not uninstall, just keep frozen but stopped now.
Description :
Code:
Kill frozen apps (24)
Stay Awake
A1: Notify [ Title:start Text:%TIME Icon:null Number:0 Permanent:eek:ff Priority:3 ]
A2: Run Shell [ Command:su Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root:eek:n Store Output In:%RET Store Errors In:%ERR Store Result In: Continue Task After Error:eek:n ]
A3: Run Shell [ Command:pm list packages -d Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root:eek:n Store Output In:%RET Store Errors In:%ERR Store Result In: Continue Task After Error:eek:n ]
A4: Variable Split [ Name:%RET Splitter:package: Delete Base:eek:ff ]
A5: For [ Variable:%RET Items:%RET(2:130) ]
A6: Run Shell [ Command:am force-stop %RET Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root:eek:n Store Output In:%RET Store Errors In:%ERR Store Result In: Continue Task After Error:eek:n ]
A7: End For
A8: Notify [ Title:End Text:%RET
%TIME Icon:null Number:0 Permanent:eek:ff Priority:3 ]
Steps of the script :
1- Get a list of all packages disabled.
2- Split the results into variables, one package by variable
3- In a loop, for each package, launch a shell with su to force stop package.
I didn’t identify the maximum of the list of packages, so I set 130 as maximum.
In attachement, the xml to import in Tasker. To import, open the xml with Tasker. Then, open in Tasker, tap (not hold) on tasks tab on top of Tasker and select import.

Is it possible to kill Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and Twitter on screen off?

Will this work to stop/kill open apps (not freezed/disabled) as well? The ``Kill app´´ function in Tasker does not work very well, not even with root. I tried to kill my audiobook-player when headset disconnects, the app disappears for a moment when killed but returns again after ~10 seconds. I googled about this and apparently there is no really good way to completely kill an open app?

[GUIDE][Difficulty: intermediate] alternative way to set alarm based on calendar

The task is triggered by a time based profile, every day at 11:59 pm.
Set alarm (94)
A1: For [ Variable:%count Items:2:12 ] If [ %tit1 !~ shift ]
#a for-loop with up to 11 cycles, if condition to stop the loop, once an entry with the proper title is found. Since the "Test App" action checks at a certain point in time for an entry, we have to check every hour seperatly. 1st cycle will check for an calendar event starting at 2am, 2nd cycle will check at 3am and so forth. Last cycle will check for events starting at 2pm, because i expect myself to be woken up till then without an alarm clock.
A2: Variable Set [ Name:%times To:3600*%count+%TIMES Do Mathsn Appendff ]
#the "Test App" action requires the time of when to check for an entry so we prepare a variable by adding one hour in seconds, multiplied by the cycle item (2-12), to the device time. If ur calendar event duration (start to end) is less than one hour u have to double the amount of cycle items (2-24) and multiply it by 1800 in order to check for an entry every 30min.
A3: Test App [ Type:Calendar Start (Seconds) Data:%times Store Result In:%res Continue Task After Errorn ]
#if an calendar event is found at %times, it will write its starting time into the array %res
A4: Test App [ Type:Calendar Title Data:%times Store Result In:%tit ]
#this will write the events title into %tit.
A5: End For
#self expaining
A6: Stop [ With Errorff Task: ] If [ %tit1 !~ shift ]
#the task stops, if all cycles are executed and no calendar entry is found.
A7: Variable Convert [ Name:%res1 Function:Seconds to Medium Date Time Store Result In:%dat ]
#if u dont have overlapping calendar events, %res (still an array!) will have only one entry. So we convert it into a human readable format and save it inside %dat
A8: Variable Split [ Name:%dat Splitter: Delete Baseff ]
#we want only the time and not the whole date so we split at every whitespace
A9: Variable Split [ Name:%dat4 Splitter:: Delete Baseff ]
#now we have %dat4 in the format hh:mm but the "Set Alarm" action requires the providing of hours and minutes seperatly. So we split once again, this time ofc at the ":"
A10: Variable Subtract [ Name:%dat41 Value:2 Wrap Around:0 ]
#reducing the hours by 2 to have the alarm ring 2 hours before the event starts.
A11: Set Alarm [ Hours:%dat41 Minutes:%dat42 Message: Confirmff ]
#self explaining
Iam going make this guide more fancy (screen shots and more explaination) later.
Best regards, Chillmann

Screen-shot would have been useful. Thanks anyway.

this is actually UNBELIEVABLE!
I have the mostly same thing and was thinking of writing a similar guide like this the other day.
My version has some minor difference, of course, but the concept is mostly the same.
Again, unbelievable!

Don't forget to share the task/project xml.

I finaly found what I was looking for.
I am a starter with Tasker.
I entered the task but I get a error
Variable convert: %res1: no value.
What did I do wrong?

Forbidden bluetooth off

Hello,
I have a big zerolemmon battery so i don't care about using it with bluetooth alway on
I don't know why sometime (randomly) my phone turn off BT, so for the moment i set bluetooth on when my launcher is open ...
Anyone has a better idea to keep bluetooth alway on ? (with or without tasker)
I am root
Thanks for your help.

Use Tasker to add a periodic check on BT status, and if off, then turn on again?

This is how I have used Tasker to perform the same result:
Code:
Profile: BT Check (43)
Restore: no
State: BT Status [ Status: Off ]
Enter: Enable BT (86)
A1: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:30 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A2: Bluetooth [ Set: On ]
In order to set the RESTORE to NO, once you have set your profile and your task, long click on the profile and select settings from the top bar. Can also see attached profile xml.
The wait action is also important, as it will prevent Android from disabling the BT instantenously. It might be because Android has a cool-off period once BT status is changed in order to ebable/disable the service.

Thanks mate, i add your profil on m'y phone. I'll tell you if it's fine in some days but it seems to be perfect.

Works perfect Thanks again

Enter: Journée (17)
Abort Existing Task

A2: Do Not Disturb [ Mode:None Continue Task After Errorn ]
A3: [X] Auto Brightness [ Setff ]
Task: Background Image: Layoutopup Task Buttons Timeout (Seconds):10 Show Over Keyguardn ]

trigger alarm with a notification

I'm trying to get an alarm to go off when my calendar notifies me of an event. I can get the alarm to trigger but not switch it off. The only way I can kill the alarm is by forcing tasker to stop. Is there some way you can't kill the alarm or is this a bug as mentioned in the tip tool (Samsung galaxy Tab S3)

Understanding how your task is setup would be useful. Please look for the pinned post in this forum is you need help exporting the description of the task.

Alarm (5)
A1: Alarm Volume [ Level:11 Display: off Sound: off ]
A2: Play Ringtone [ Type:Alarm Sound: Stream:4 ]
A3: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:5 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A4: Cancel Alarm [ Mode: Disable Current Hours:0 Minutes:0 Label: ]

The two last steps in the profile is my attempt to stop the alarm as I can't switch it off when it triggers

I'm not aware of any way to stop a play ringtone action. The problem had to do with underlying android and the need to reference the original play ringtone instance.
Most people use music play instead with a music stop action.
The cancel alarm action is for system alarms, which you can set through tasker, but you would need to use an alarm set action.
When you choose a stream in a audio action (such as the alarm in your play ringtone), you're determining which volume control affects the sound. It's not the same as creating a system alarm.

Thanks that seems to have done the trick.
