[Guide] How to automatize your life with your Pebble

Introduction:
So you have a Pebble and you love how you can check your emails and mute your boss's call without even looking at your phone?
It's all really cool, but if you're anything like me, that's just not enough. You want to do more with even less effort.
How can we expand the possibilities to near-infinity?
With the help of three awesome apps:
- Tasker [Paid]
- AutoPebble [Free/Paid]
- PebbleTasker [Paid]
Other apps mentioned in this guide:
- Canvas for Pebble [Free]
- Calendar for Pebble [Free]
Note: You can use the free version of AutoPebble, but Tasker is a must.
I believe most of you know how powerful tool Tasker is, so imagine all those possibilities on your wrist and let's do something practical:
The Basics of AutoPebble:
Every watchapp, that has a companion app or a settings in the Pebble app communicates through the Pebble app itself.
AutoPebble's purpose is to intercept and filter these communications right from Tasker and execute tasks accordingly.
My favorite feature is the ability to start watchapps on your Pebble.
One of my profile:
When I press button DOWN in Canvas it will load the Calendar watchapp.
1) To be able to load an app, we need to know the apps UUID (it's an id that is unique to every app):
a) start the AutoPebble app on your phone (you don't have to install the watchapp, it is for more advanced stuff) and make sure the "Automatically Detect" is ticked.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
b) now start the Calendar watchapp on your Pebble, AutoPebble should recognise its UUID.
c) in AutoPebble open "Manage Other Pebble Apps" and longpress on the new entry, it is convenient to rename it to Calendar, now longpress again and Enable it
(if AutoPebble doesn't recognise an app, you have to manually type in the UUID, Calendar's one is: b41e3dcf-6162-4147-9c58-643e1091fb93)
d) now you have to do the same with Canvas (it's UUID is 654db887-5135-4b22-be8b-2e1b5c0cb49d)
(you have to do this procedure for every watchapp you'd like to interact with)
2) Open Tasker and create a new task:
a) add an action to it: Plugin->AutoPebble App
b) click on Configuration and scroll down to Other Pebble App, choose Calendar from the list
c) click on Action and choose Open
Note: now if you execute the task, the Calendar watchapp should start on your Pebble
3) Check the buttons and values we want to trigger the task:
a) open AutoPebble app on your phone
b) check Log other Apps
c) go to Log Listing
d) press the button on your Pebble while in Canvas (Canvas' button's are 200 and values are CL_S1 for UP, CL_S2 for SELECT and CL_S3 for DOWN)
4) Open Tasker and create a new profile:
a) choose State->Plugin->AutoPebble Other App
b) click on Configuration
c) App: Canvas
d) Direction: Watch To Phone
e) Key Filter: 200
f) Value Filter: CL_S3
Important: to make this work, uncheck every watchface in the Canvas app, except the active one
Now if you press the DOWN button while in Canvas, Tasker will catch the command and launch the Calendar watchapp.
Additional notes: This only works with watchfaces that actually send commands to the phone and sadly the BACK button cannot be intercepted.
PebbleTasker:
PebbleTasker is a handy watchface, that lets you execute any Tasker task on your phone. I'm no Tasker guru, but I use it to mute my phone, turn on/off tethering, and launch more watchfaces.
If you launch the PebbleTasker app on your phone, you can assign 3 Tasker task to the three button and one-one to longpress UP/DOWN.
If you click on "More..." and "Select Tasks for menu" you can assign another 20 tasks to the list which comes up if you longpress SELECT.
Tip: If you create an AutoPebble App task with a "Key filter: 0" you can start Canvas (or anything) on a button press in PebbleTasker while the task is being executed on your phone.
Outro:
This guide only covers the very basics of these awesome apps, but if you grasp these concepts you can do pretty much anything Tasker can do without taking out your phone and make app switching on your Pebble more dynamic.
I hope you appreciate my guide and find it useful. :fingers-crossed:

Not so bright... I have the calendar on Pebble but can't do anything with it. This step:
d) press the button on your Pebble (Canvas' button's are 200 and values are CL_S1 for UP, CL_S2 for SELECT and CL_S3 for DOWN)
WHICH button on my Pebble?

@rogerperk:
The one you want to use to start calendar. It can be any one of the UP, SELECT, DOWN.
This step's reason is to see what commands the buttons in different watchapps send to the phone (or to check if they send any).

Yeah, that's what I thought. Can't seem to get it to work though. Let me try again... Can't get it to pull up though. I lose it at setp 4 - Create Another State.

Well I must be doing something wrong because I get to step 3 (check buttons) and it doesn't work.

You have Canvas and Calendar in AutoPebble's "Manage Other Pebble Apps" list?
Are they enabled?
Is "Log other Apps" turned on?
Is there any info in the "Log listing"?

Maybe I"m missing something. I now have calendar and weather on my up and down buttons. But I thought they would open those programs from my main watchface, which is a Canvas face. Instead I have to go into PebbleTasker, through the menu, on my watch and activate them. Is that right??

PebbleTasker simply starts Tasker tasks on your phone. To be able to use the buttons we have to use AutoPebble.
Also, Canvas have to be installed as a watchapp, because watchfaces can't send commands to your phone.

[APP] 'Custom Navigation Bar' - add additional icons to your N8 Nav Bar

I found this Custom Navigation Bar app developed by paphonb on a different XDA thread - but it works perfectly on the Note 8. The app can be downloaded from the Play Store here
Using this app you can add up to 2 additional icons to the Navigation bar (one on the far left and the other on the far right) each with a tap or double-tap action that can launch apps or a tasker event. It works fantastically on my N8 with no lag whatsoever, and I now have 4 actions that I can easily access from any screen.

Features
- Add custom buttons to your navigation bar
- Customizable navbar layout
- Tasker integration for contextual navbar
- Easy to setup
- No root or xposed required
Compatibility
- May not work on Touchwiz launcher. (I use Lightning Launcher and it works fine)
I set mine up as follows:
Left
- Single tap: launch a dictionary
- Double tap: mute sound
Right side
- Single tap: toggle screen auto-rotate
- Double tap: kill current app
Tutorials
There are tutorials on how to set up the icons scattered throughout the 58 pages of the original thread. I have summarized them all here in one place
[Credit to Mishaal Rahman and dariomrk for writing these]
Requirements for launching Tasker Events
- Tasker ($2.99)
- AutoInput Beta (v2.0.5b.bf) (~$1.70)
1. Instructions for triggering a Tasker event
1. Configure a custom button as you would, but this time, set button type to "Tasker event" instead of "Keycode".
2. Open tasker and press add in profiles tab
3. Select "Event"
4. Select Plugin -> Custom Navigation Bar
5. Click on pencil icon to edit event
6. Select the profile you have the button set up. If you set up the button you want in "Navigation bar" section of the app, select "None"
7. Select the button that you have set up. If the option is greyed out, check if you done step 1 correctly
8. Save the event and add an action for that tasker profile.
Note:
When pressing the button first time, if a dialog pops up, select "Custom Navigation Bar" and press "Always"
2. Instructions to change the buttons to keyboard cursors whenever the keyboard is displayed
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ard-cursors-to-the-nav-bar-during-text-input/
** I find this one really useful as do not normally have these showing on my Swiftkey keyboard.
3. Instructions to change the buttons to media playback controls when playing Music
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-add-media-playback-controls-to-the-nav-bar-when-playing-music/
4. Detailed Instructions for setting up the Custom Navigation Bar
Firstly you will need:
- A PC with adb and fastboot installed; (Refer to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 for how to install these);
After you have adb set up, open up a CMD window and type:
Code:
cd "Program Files(x86)\adb"
adb shell
pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Important: Replace "Program Files(x86)\adb" with the location where you installed adb
For more details see: https://www.xda-developers.com/nav-...ck-nougat-all-along-and-it-never-needed-root/

Found another great app Home Button Launcher that lets you remap the long press on the Note 8 Home key so it doesn't launch Google Assistant (which I never use).
It can either automatically launch a different app or a shortcut - or show a popup panel of apps/shortcuts:
I used to use All in one Gestures to do this - but that does not work on soft keys.

Do not run ADB SHELL by itself before running that command.

There's no need for 2 adb shell commands. Easier to just do the adb shell pm grant **** in one line.

I can not for the life of me get ADB to see my device as ONLINE. I've tried everything I can think of (restarting device, adb server, toggling USB debugging on & off, different USB ports, etc). I really hope one of ya'll has an idea I haven't tried or maybe has ran through this already. What am I missing?

I suppose I may have been a little too cryptic in my previous response. Here's some clarification:
The original instructions basically said to open a command prompt then run...
Code:
cd "Program Files(x86)\adb"
adb shell
adb shell pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
You would of course need to replace [highlight]"Program Files (x86)\adb"[/highlight] with the location where you installed ADB, if it is different.
The [highlight]adb shell[/highlight] line is unnecessary and will in fact cause the next line to fail. That is the piece I was hinting to skip to in my previous post.
Alternatively, this sequence will also work...
Code:
cd "Program Files(x86)\adb"
adb shell
pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Thanks Shadowpheonix! OP updated to reflect your better instructions.

So my navnar buttons are now out of alignment... tried uninstalling the app, but nothing happened even after reboot... how do I get the buttons to their original place? I'm really annoyed. I tried the options in the app to switch positions but they just mess them up even more...

This module provides you Gesture control, Key control and other smart triggers. to trigger actions you want.
Next, download "Xposed edge" or "Xposed edge pro" from the Play Store and activate the "Xposed edge" module in "Xposed Installer" and then restart the phone.
1. Launch the Xposed Edge module and activate "Keys" and access it
2. Press Add and click on the Bixby button
3. Activate the newly assigned Bixby button (KEYCODE_ASSIST)
4. And with the arrow on the side assign an action for a single click, double-click and hold down
Do not forget to activate key control and the button assign
And now it will work
Bonus

[MOD][Magisk] Disable Navbar For 3rd-Party Navigation Gestures

If you're like me, you like using a 3rd party navigation gesture app with the navbar hidden.
In Android 11, google disabled wm overscan which makes it difficult to hide the navbar.
Luckily, it's possible with Magisk and a little bit of tinkering.
THIS GUIDE ASSUMES YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH MAGISK AND MAGISK MODULES.
Prerequisites:
Install Magisk
Install Magisk Hide Props Config
Install Universal SafetyNet Fix
optional but recommended if you use gPay, Bank Apps, etc.
Install a terminal emulator (like Termux)
this is also theoretically possible with platform-tools and root over adb shell but my tutorial will be using the terminal
Settings > System > Gestures > System Navigation is set to 3-button Navigation
this is only required if you're using a 3rd party gesture navigation app (I use Vivid Navigation Gestures)
you can skip #5 at your own risk if you wish to keep Google's Gestural Navigation but hide the UI
To disable the Navbar, enter the following commands (don't type the descriptions).
su (gain root access)
props (open the hideprops menu)
4 (Add/edit prop values)
n (New custom prop)
qemu.hw.mainkeys (the build prop for whether to include softkey navbar)
1 (sets the build prop to disable the softkey navbar)
y (yes to continue with defaults)
y (yes to reboot)
That's it! Once your phone reboots you should no longer have a Navbar.
In theory, this should work on many devices, but I've only tested it on my stock Pixel 3 and Pixel 5.
This method is even better than overscan IMO because it doesn't come with the same quirks.
I had issues with the volume menu appearing off-screen and certain fullscreen apps assuming the Navbar was still there.

@nontheoretical Do we revert back by reverting the module back to defaults?

To revert from terminal:
su (gain root)
props (open hideprops menu)
5 (delete a prop)
r (reset all props)
y (to continue)
y (to reboot)

Nice, been using this for a few days on my pixel 4a5g without any problem, just need some time to get used to gesture navigation now

Thank you for responding.

Can somebody help me real quick?
I installed it, but after reboot I only get a blinkung "lock"-icon and nothing more, cant control my phone.
Tried to revert it using adb, but I get
C:\WINDOWS\system32>adb shell
$ su -c
/system/bin/sh: su: inaccessible or not found
$

is there any way to make navbar a little bit higher?

Not working on op7 pro running a11 (oos 11.0.1.1)
I've always just edited build.prop adding the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 myself. Neither of which seem to be working for me now.

Thanks nontheoretical. Worked on my Mi 11 Ultra with nova launcher

On Pixel 5, after setting prop, there's a delay when switching between camera modes. It goes from 1 sec without it enabled to almost 5 second after enabling it.

This is known issue when doing this MOD. I believe that SystemUIGoogle.apk needs to be modified to remedy it.

Anyone have an idea for how to do this?

Can probably pull the modified .apk from this MOD

Work perfectly on my Xiaomi.eu ROM (Mi 11) and Lawnchair 11 + My Gesture - Edge navigation gesture
Thx mate, i miss my Launcher so long time, i don't like MIUI Launcher
PS ; i have install my program after lol, without Navbar & Gestures. If Someone forget to install Gesture app BEFORE, just :
- Click Settings > Search "Google Play" > "Google Play Protect" > In "Security Status again "Google Play Protect" > Use Back Arrow on Front left > You are on Google Play, now just install your favorite Gesture app

Works perfectly. The only slight to this method is that there are three one-pixel lines along the bottom of the screen. Small price to pay compared to having the camera slowly switching modes!

I already have the obvious three lines there, but just below them are the barely visible extra lines.

@Veiranx What are those lines the ones above the smaller ones?

They're from FNG (Fluid Navigation Gestures), indicating where I have the three gestures. I have swipe up to activate: left for back, center for home, right for recents.
