Hi guys! I am new to tasker and trying to setup some profiles that needs some help finishing, plz help me with this:
1. I am creating to launch an app from clicking a widget and i achieved it, but the problem is when i click that widget it launches default application for that widget, hence both apps are launched. I want to replace the default action with my custom action.(I tried killing the default app without and with root permission, without root permission the problem was same, with root permission the app and its widget wasn't functioning further, plz suggest any help.
2. So i read many articles on web to locate phone but none of them use google maps live location feature, please suggest any way of using the live location feature or a valid replacement.
3. Next i am creating a profile to answer call when i take proximity sensor close to me, but the error in this is calls might be answered in pocket mode, plz suggest any way to detect pocket mode. Also i am trying to extend its functionality by activating loud speaker when i distance the phone and deactivate loud speaker when i bring the phone closer to my ear, plz help me with this.
Thanks for your patience in reading all these and thanks for your help.
Any Luck With Those Profiles? I'm Particularly Interested In The Proximity Answer, Facing The Problems Mentioned In Your Post
Proximity problem
Maybe add Display on as condition? Or phone unlocked? Would make a good pocket detection.
So, basically you need two profiles:
One would be this:
Profile: Proximity Status (70)
State: Proximity Sensor
Enter: Proximity on (71)
A1: Variable Set [ Name:%Proximity To:1 Recurse Variablesff Do Mathsff Appendff ]
Exit: Proximity off (72)
A1: Variable Set [ Name:%Proximity To:0 Recurse Variablesff Do Mathsff Appendff ]
And one would be with an Incoming call, a turned on display and an unlocked phone as condition. As task you would chose take call if %Proximity ~ 1. That should do the trick. You can obviously change the name of %Proximity in the tasks to whatever you like, I just quickly created an example to show you what I meant. What system version are you on? Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo, Pie? Taking the call might be tricky, though, if you're not on Oreo or above.

Basicly what i want is, when i launch an app;
- if brightness is manual(say 50) i want brightness to get max(100) and when i close the app , brightness goes back to 50.
-if brightness is auto, i want auto brightness disabled, set Brightness to 100,and when I close the app, i want brightness back to auto.
I am only able to: disable auto brightness >set it 100>set back to auto when i close. But if it is manual to be start with, i end up having auto brightness when I close the app.
I hope i explained the problem clear enough. Thanks in advance

You can ignore that. It's just the format of the XML file they copy/pasted.

It works as it should when auto brightness is off. When auto brightness is on, it sets brightness to 100, but only a visual change in notification shade, brightness doesn't change on screen. I think the problem is, it doesn't disable auto brightness before it changes brightness value if auto brightness is on.
I just fixed it by adding "auto brightness: off" action in first task, between "variable set" and "display brightness: 255".working perfectly now. Thank you very much.
Hi,
It doesn't seems to practical to have the phone on an inside the task to learn a new cell tower are. I found this post
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/UXVXY3gYwqw
in which there is a profile and a task that record recent Cells ID to a predefined variable.
The profile and task are:
Profile: Record Cells (181)
Event: Variable Set [ Variable:%CELLID Value:* ]
Enter: RecordCells (182)
A1: Variable Set [ Name:%CELL_List To:%CELLID
Do Mathsff Appendn ] If [ %CELL_List !~ *%CELLID* ]
This is launched from a button with the following actions:
Action 1: Perform Task : Record Cells (this is to capture the current cell as the above only kicks in when the cell changes):
RecordCells (182)
A1: Variable Set [ Name:%CELL_List To:%CELLID
Do Mathsff Appendn ] If [ %CELL_List !~ *%CELLID* ]
Action 2: Set Profile Status (Record Cells) On
Its necessary to create a button on a scene. (I've attached the files)
It works but i would like to know the following:
1.- To stop the cell tower recording, for when i leave the area. There its been said that clearing the %CELLgatherswitch variable should work, but when i see the variable values, it is always empty, so nothing to clear...
2.- To learn different areas: copying the task and change the variable name do the trick i think, but for now i have no way to stop it.
3.- Is really a difference between executing the RecordCell task manually and trough an scene?
Any help will be appreciated!
Hi,
I have an issue with Tasker on my Oreo car stereo.
With Tasker I am not able to adjust the screen brightness:
Code:
Profile: Night (7)
State: Twilight [ Configuration:From CIVIL DUSK to CIVIL DAWN at Device location. ]
Enter: Dimmer ON (5)
Stay Awake
A1: Display Brightness [ Level:0 Disable Safeguard:eek:n Ignore Current Level:eek:ff Immediate Effect:eek:ff ]
A2: Set Tasker Icon [ Icon:mw_action_bookmark_border ]
Exit: Dimmer OFF (6)
A1: Display Brightness [ Level:255 Disable Safeguard:eek:n Ignore Current Level:eek:ff Immediate Effect:eek:ff ]
A2: Set Tasker Icon [ Icon:mw_action_bookmark ]
Even the manual executing of the task it doesn´t change the brightness.
Any hints how to get this working?
I used exactly this task on earlier radio with Android 7 and it is still working fine on my Phone with Android 7.
I think the behavior is related to Andoid 8, could that be possible?
Is adaptive brightness turned off?

Yes it is turned off in the Android settings, to not use the head lights.
Even if I switch off adaptive brightness in the task it doesn´t do anything.
The unit itself has no light sensor, so I need something which dims the screen brightness independant of the head lights.

Hi Mate.
I have exactly the same problem. Did you get a solution?
I have a Xtrons Android 8 unit and brightness does not work , exactly like you explained.
Did you get a solution?
Hi,
there will be no solution until they use the Adroid_API as it should be.
Tasker uses the API, but the dev of our version seems to use different folder structures.
If I have a look at the traces I find the following entry:
Code:
05-07 13:45:54.415 292 292 E Lights Hal: write_int failed to open /sys/class/backlight/rk28_bl/brightness
/sys/class/backlight/rk28_bl/brightness would be the correct folder used by the API.
The reason for this issue is, that the folder rk28_bl does not exist. The file "brightness" is stored in folder:
/sys/class/backlight/backlight/brightness
I´m thinking about a method to get a workaround for this issue, but I don´t have the needed time to do it in the moment.
Hello,
I have the same issue. Did you find how to fix this?

Try this, run shell with tasker :
settings put system screen_brightness=216
value : 0 to 216

No that can not work... and it does not work with OREO head units... at least not with mine.
I've been trying to create a profile which uses the Arlo camera movement detection notification to switch a specific group of Phillips Hue lamps (Hue Arlo group) on and after 3 minutes off again from 22.00 till 06.30 in the morning. To be repeated whenever a new notification is triggered by movement. As the notification is different for each camera, depending on its position, I've taken the identical part of the notification "motion is detected" subtext as the trigger. However, as a noob I must have done something fundamentally wrong as the profile doesn't work at all. Could someone please help to point me in the right direction to get it up and running? Your help would be much appreciated!
Profile: Hue Arlo Group (21)
Restore: no
Event: Notification [ Owner Application:Arlo Title:* Text:* Subtext:*motion is detected* Messages:* Other Text:* Cat:* New Only: On ]
Time: From 22:00 Till 06:30
Enter: Hue Arlo Group On/Off (22)
A1: Hue Essentials [ Configuration:Arlo group (Switch on) Timeout (Seconds):0 ]
A2: Hue Essentials [ Configuration:Arlo group (Switch off) Timeout (Seconds):180 ]
Has anyone figured a way to control the charge limit via Input Power Control module or the app Battery Charge Limit? I've stuck out with both unfortunately.
Set a custom control file for Battery Charge Limit...
Path Data: /sys/class/power_supply/charger/charge_disable
Enable Value: 0
Disabled Value: 1
The phone will still say that it is charging, but the battery level will have stopped where you set it to.
Anyone found a solution for Android 11? I used the above settings fine on 10 with battery charge limit app, but on 11 it will intermittently charge to 100% overnight.
Edit-Advanced Charging Controller magisk module seems to be working so far.
The app battery charge limit was working with the post no 2 settings until i updated to android 11.
Will try the magical.module and report back. A bit difficult to setup. Hard to read via terminal.

Battery Charge Limit still works for me with Sept/Oct updates.
On android 11?
Care to share your settings?

Sorry, but it never stopped working for me... so I'm using the same settings I posted above.

What else would September and October updates be?
I am using same setting with Tasker to limit my charging to 80% on overnight charging.. It still works now on Android 11.

This is working for me on a Pixel 4 XL with the latest Android 11.
EDIT: Got it working perfectly with these additional settings:
Enforce charge limit: disabled
Always Write CFTRL File: enabled
------------------------------------------
so to put it all together, for the Pixel 4 XL:
Manually enter Configure Control Data ->
Path Data: /sys/class/power_supply/charger/charge_disable
Enable Value: 0
Disabled Value: 1
Advanced settings ->
Enforce charge limit: disabled
Always Write CFTRL File: enabled
Since Battery Charge Limit is somewhat abandoned and might get disrupted more by successive Android versions... I started looking into replacing this functionality with Tasker... since Tasker is supported, it should keep running despite new battery optimizations.
I've attached the full Tasker project at the end. Download it to your phone, open Tasker, long-press the Home icon at the lower-left, select Import Project and select the XML file attached. Lastly, manually run the "Charge Limited" task. This will set up the QuickTile and %BATTLIMIT variable.
Here are some description exports of what the project does.
Code:
Profile: Check Battery To Enable (92)
Restore: no
State: Battery Level [ From:0 To:55 ]
State: Power [ Source:Any ]
Enter: Enable Charger (88)
A1: Read Line [ File:/sys/class/power_supply/charger/charge_disable Line:1 To Var:%bdisable Structure Output (JSON, etc):Off ]
A2: If [ %bdisable ~ 1 ]
A3: Flash [ Text:Enable: %BATT% Long:Off ]
A4: Run Shell [ Command:echo '0' > /sys/class/power_supply/charger/charge_disable Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root:On Store Output In: Store Errors In: Store Result In: ]
A5: End If
Code:
Profile: Check Battery To Disable (93)
Restore: no
State: Battery Level [ From:60 To:100 ]
State: Power [ Source:Any ]
Time: Every 2m
Enter: Disable Charger (87)
A1: Read Line [ File:/sys/class/power_supply/charger/charge_disable Line:1 To Var:%bdisable Structure Output (JSON, etc):Off ]
A2: If [ %bdisable ~ 0 & %BATTLIMIT ~ 1 ]
A3: Flash [ Text:Disable: %BATT% Long:Off ]
A4: Run Shell [ Command:echo '1' > /sys/class/power_supply/charger/charge_disable Timeout (Seconds):0 Use Root:On Store Output In: Store Errors In: Store Result In: ]
A5: End If
There are two other tasks that configure the AutoNotifications tile and a task that accepts commands from the tile.
This obviously requires root. I will not answer any questions about not requiring root.
For QuickTile functionality, you will need AutoNotifications. If you don't have AutoNotifications, you will have to go into Tasker to toggle the functionality manually. For me, this uses AutoNotifications tile #2, you may need to configure the AutoNotifications task config to use other tile #'s. This was made for a Pixel 4 XL. It probably works for the Pixel 4. It might work for other Pixel phones, but I have no idea.
Edit: I redid my phone and noticed that Tasker can no longer ReadLine on rooted paths... so I had to replace it with a root shell command. (unfortunately this means a toast will appear for root usage every couple minutes, which I personally disabled in Magisk)
