Can Tasker automate the abling and disabling of a security PIN for unlocking the phone? For example, while at home I would like to have no screen lock, but while out I would like more security and so would like a PIN to be required for accessing the phone. Thanks in advance.
Yes it can

That's what I have mine doing. You'll need this also https://market.android.com/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin
I've tried playing around but couldnt figure out how to do it. Can you tell me how to? Thanks

When I'm off work later tonight I can post step by step instructions. Do you have wifi at home? Because I have mine set so that it knows I'm at home when I'm connected to my home wifi.
thats exactly what I want! I would appreciate it very much!
1. Create new profile - name it whatever you want
2. Under First Context choose State > Net > Wifi Connected
3. Under SSID input your home wifi's network name or if connected to it then just hit the magnifying lens in the upper right and select your home network and hit the green checkmark at the bottom to save it
4. Choose New Task and name it whatever you want.
5. Hit the plus sign to add a new action and choose Plugin > Secure Settings
6. Now hit Edit under Configuration and change Keyguard to either password/pin or pattern lock (depending on what security you've choosen) and select Off (I also check the setting where I've got to enter in my pass code once before it will unlock but that's up to you) and then hit the disk icon in the bottom right to save it and again confirm that you want to save it.
7. Hit the green checkmark again and also on the next screen.
8. Then click on the action you created and choose Add Exit Task and repeat the steps starting at step 4 but this time under Password/Pin or Pattern Lock choose On.
9. Then just keep hitting the green checkmarks until you exit out of Tasker.
I typed this out on my phone on the bus ride home so let me know if it's not clear or I missed a step. And you will need to first install Secure Settings that I linked to earlier.
Awesome, thanks for posting that! I haven't used Tasker, or Locale or any other automating app, so I'm curious, why would one choose Tasker over Locale? I just have a few simple things i want to automate (though that list could grow once I get into it).

I've never used Locale but before I bought Tasker I read a few reviews comparing the two and it seems that Locale is more user friendly but Tasker is more powerful. But for most everyday uses Locale will probably work fine.

I did exactly as you said and i can't get it to work. Did you clear the lock settings in security before doing this or keep that? Also what rom are you using, that may be the problem for me (elite ics).
I've tried setting a lock, and then connecting to wifi but lock doesn't go away. I also tried having no lock set and turning off wifi, but the lock doesn't show up on the screen.

I didn't think to add that you've also gotta open Secure Settings and select the Helper tab and install the Helper. There's also an option there to download a flashable zip to install the helper (it's gotta be in system to work). I've just gotten so used to flashing the helper every time I flash a new ROM I didn't think of it.

Had Helper installed and still didn't work. Btw Helper is for pattern only, you don't need it for pin/password.
I'll try playing around some more tomorrow. Thanks for the help!
I'm very interested in this. If you get this working I may have to break down and buy tasker. Always been curious about it, but never really had a purpose of it til this came up.

Sorry, don't know what to tell you. Tasker's working great for me.
tried llama and it kinda worked with built-in actions but not with the secure settings plugin.
Couldn't you also do it by location as well, instead of Wifi connection. Which is basically Locale.

For a Nexus 4 (mako) KitKat ROM with LTE already enabled, check out my work here.
All the other guides I've found are confusing and don't seem to work, when actually it's (sort of) easy and straightforward.
You will need:
1) A rooted Nexus 4 running just about any JB 4.2/4.3 OR 4.4+ Kit Kat ROM.
2) Time and patience.
3) ES File Explorer from the Play Market
4) Baseband .33 or earlier (or the hybrid radios from morrislee) (Don't ask what this means here, do a search in the Nexus forums)
(First Edit: Screencaps soon to come!)
First, we're going to need to edit a couple of files in the root (also known as /) file system. Open ES File Explorer and click the blue icon in the upper left to bring up the options menu. Expand Tools, then scroll down to Root Explorer. Select that and Allow ES File Explorer root permissions with superuser.
Another menu pops up, select Mount R/W and change BOTH from "ro" to "rw". Save that and get back to the file system menu in ES File Explorer. Navigate your way to /system and scroll down to select the file "build.prop" Open that with ES Note Editor and select the options menu in the upper right, and click "Edit".
Scroll approximately 3/4 of the way down through the build.prop file and locate this line of code:
Code:
lteOnCdmaDevice=0
Change that to this:
Code:
lteOnGsmDevice=1
Press the back arrow in the upper left corner of ES Note Editor and it will prompt you automatically to save the file. Click yes.
THIS SECTION IS ONLY FOR T-MOBILE USERS ON 4.2 ROMS. NOT NEEDED FOR 4.3 or 4.4
Cool deal. Except now, because Jellybean changed things around with how Android handles audio, the speaker for voice calls won't work for T-Mobile users (like me). It's OK though, because we can fix that too. Get back to ES File Explorer menu and navigate to /etc/snd_soc_msm/
LONG PRESS on the file in there, snd_soc_msm_2x blahblahblah and click More (the three dots in the lower right hand corner) and select Properties. Remember what the permissions look like! Write it down! Change permissions to rw (check all the boxes in the "read" and "write" column) and save that, going back to the snd_soc_msm folder and press back to deselect it (no check marks next to it).
Single-click on the file to open it, selecting it as a Text file and again opening it in ES Note Editor. You have to scroll down for a WHILE. ES Note Editor only loads the file incrementally (sections at a time). So just keep scrolling. It is line 1804. You are looking for a single line that says:
Code:
ACDBID 81:1
Change that to:
Code:
ACDBID 7:1
Press the upper left back button in ES Note Editor and when it prompts you, save. DO NOT leave the file yet. You should be back to just reading mode. Scroll down some more. We are looking for line 2736. It reads:
Code:
ACDBID 91:2
Make that read:
Code:
ACDBID 6:2
Press back, save, then exit ES Note Editor. You're back into the File Explorer. LONG PRESS on the snd_soc_msm_2xblahblah file and go back to it's properties, reverting the permissions to their original state. Remember I told you to write that down? Good.
END T-MOBILE 4.2 ONLY SECTION
EVERYONE DO THIS NEXT PART
Click the menu button in the upper left corner of ES File Explorer and select Rood Explorer again. Select Mount R/W and return / and /system to Read Only (RO). Save that and back out to your home screen.
Now go to the Phone dialer, as if you were going to make a call. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
A menu will pop up, select Phone Information. Where it says "Set preferred network type", change that to LTE/GSM auto (PRL). Press the Home button to return to your main Android home screen.
The hardest part is done, only a couple more settings. Go to Settings>Wireless and Networks>More...>Mobile networks>Access Point Names and select your carrier, in my instance T-Mobile US, making the following changes (if necessary):
Code:
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Name it something (the first field) and press the small three dots in the lower right corner to Save the APN. Reboot your N4.
When you are back to the homescreen, navigate back to Settings>Wireless and Networks>More...>Mobile networks and this time select Network Mode. It should say "WCDMA Preferred". Change that to GSM/WCDMA/LTE. NOTE: In KitKat ROMs only, this appears to be unnecessary as 4G will already be selected under "Network Mode".
Wait a minute or so, the signal bar should change from "H/H+" to "4G" (or LTE depending on the ROM). Yay!
Reboot to make sure everything sticks.
You should be set to go!
This may work for other carriers, but please do not ask me for correct APN settings. It only enables LTE on Band 4, this is a limitation of the hardware inside of the phone. Certain carriers do not utilize this band, it's up to you to find out.
Feel free to buy me a coconut water (donate) if you like my work. It would be greatly appreciated!
Please Hit the "Thanks" Button If This Guide Helped You!
Thanks. Good guide.

Thanks for the guide.
Here's noob question: can you make this into a flashable file, like a "LTE fix" file? So anytime someone changes a rom they can then just flash the "LTE fix" or something like that?
Thanks again.
This also assumes that the user has flashed an older radio baseband to the phone.

Good point, I'll make the edit. My phone came with the .33 baseband and I spaced it.

At the moment, the answer is unfortunately yes.
I'll make a script if I can in my spare time, as the one's I've seen around (including the one mentioned earlier in this thread) don't work exactly right for me. People on other carriers might be OK, but T-Mobile has certain specific changes or it won't work (no voice during calls, network will fluctuate rapidly between H, H+, and LTE).
I'll update the thread with any new developments and screencaps here shortly, just been very busy and very broke.

Hello
I am not a developer but I have a solution to roaming guards if you have root. I am a very tech savvy person and usually modify all my phone's on my on.
Here we go and I am not responsible for anything that could go wrong. Don't worry this is fairly simple computer programming.
1. Make sure you have root.
2. Download SQLite editor from the play store.
3. Open SQLite editor and go to the root of your phone.
4. Open data/data/com.android.providers.settings
5. Open Setting.db and select secure.
6. Scroll to and highlight data_roaming_guards_blocked and hit the pencil to edit.
7. Change wording to data_roaming_guards_allowed and save.
8. Scroll to and highlight voice_roaming_guard_blocked and hit pencil to edit.
9. Change wording to voice_roaming_guard_allowed and save.
10. There is no need to reboot just go directly to settings, mobile data and roaming guards. You should be able to select and deselect.
I hope this works for you and if it does let's put it out there. Lots of people have this problem and it took me several days to figure this out.
I'm not sure what you are referring to, can you take a screen shot of it

roaming guard
Not every phone has this problem. Some Sprint m8,s roaming guards were unselectable. You would no if you had this issue. Sprint is very aware of the software issue. I will try and find a screen shot. Also the file written, I tried to get it put in the development section.

I live chatted with sprint to get the MSL and I thought they were giving me a BS code. Has anybody else received their code as "000000"? Yesterday it didn't work for me so I live chatted again to get the MSL. I was given the same number, but this time they also gave me the puk code which is pretty much useless for me for what I was trying to achieve. Today, while scrolling the secret codes looking for a service number to put in I found something, tried it, and failed and it automatically rebooted. Upon reboot I went through shortcut master for LTE functionality and I entered the MSL number as all zeroes again and viola, I could edit my APNs. Is this dumb luck or after chatting through sprint live chat is it possible they pushed something to the phone that took affect after live chat? Either way, I was able to edit what I need and now have hotspot working w/o the benefit of the tethering plan.
uuh, so the MSL is "000000" just to comfirm. LOL BUT you cannot edit APN type, at least i can't.

Funny thing is that "000000" was the msl for the S8 plus as well.. lol
I used the website activation trick (where you leave your phone OFF while trying to activate it from the website before powering it on) and it gave me '000000' and I thought it just didn't know what the MSL was because I bought it from Samsung... I guess it is really 000000?

And yes, the MSL is 000000. Just as it was on my S8+. I guess they aren't giving the phones unique MSL's any longer.

Data is data. Enabling hotspot in this way doesn't hide from Sprint that you are using data. They can see how much data comes from your phone on their network.
What It does do though is enables hotspot that you don't have to pay for. Although currently Sprint allows 10gb of reporting for free.
But if you do this mod when your 10gb is up you should still be able to hotspot.

Yes : download activity launcher

Then stretch for "hidden", and open the app that go to a phone icon named hidden something.
Then, in the hamburger menu choose the band selection mode, pick the bands you want to lock to, then activate it
go back to "Network mode" from the hamburger menu and pick "band selection mode".
That's all

Mate,thanks but i am on android 9 with note 9 rooted with the last updates and samsung removed that hidden network app with the last updates. I installed it manually as a system app yet it didn't work .I mean the root permissions in the file system not the typical permissions apps ask for camera,contacts etc when installing or launching. Also I heard something called "hns" removed with the updates and that's why it doesn't work if i even install that app manually.

No problem friend thanks a lot for your try.
Will this work for unrooted stock oreo to lock data from switching towers constantly?
I have a N9600 (TGY) device and I tried to manually select bands using instructions from this video:
youtube.com/watch?v=K-DN0q64lRw
I have the latest version of Android 10 available for this device.
I decided I'd rather NOT fiddle with these settings further and reverted everything... Now after a reboot, my device refuses to connect to the network. For example, I cannot make a phone call... Only after going to "Call Settings & Selecting "Automatic", I'm able to make phone calls again.
Any idea how to set everything back to default settings? I don't like the fact that the phone cannot make calls after a reboot as of now ... I'm using this device on AT&T, so what should the default selection be?
Thanks

This app lets you lock 5G/LTE/4G/3G/2G bands on most Samsung phones running the latest One UI updates: https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/comments/g49ocr/app_samsung_band_selection_app/
After much headache with this issue, I found a method that works where the "Band Selection" menu doesn't work (this method is confirmed working on my Galaxy Note 8). Thanks @fasho:

TL;DR: Get org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo (from an apk mirror as it is no longer available on the play store), and then run ServiceMode as root. Follow the linked instructions further to disable unwanted LTE bands.
