Help with smartskey and the Cingular 8125

I just "installed" smartskey onto my Cingular 8125 and I get the soft keys to work (holding the left softkey activates the start menu) but I can't get any other functions to work, mainly the volume/jog and the dpad launcher.
Can someone tell me what's missing? Thanks!

To use the Volume slider as a "Jog Wheel" yo need "PAGEONEXPLORE=1" not "PAGEONEXPLORE=0" as you currently have set. Make this change and soft reset, or tap the shortcut to "Launch" smartskeys. this will present a dialog window to close it, do so, then relaunch using the shortcut.

Thanks! That corrected the "jog wheel" but any suggestions on the DPad problem?
Jason

I'm not sure I understand the question. What are you trying to do with the DPad?

The documentation says that you can use the dpad to launch 4 different applications, depending on the direction:
DUP=x
DDOWN=x
DLEFT=x
DRIGHT=x
x =
0: Do nothing
1: Call Log
2: Quick Dial
3: Contacts
4: Messaging
Nevermind - I just figured it out... I thought this would work from the Today screen, but you have to be in the Phone Application.
Thanks for the help though!

Nobody has an idea?

[Q] S-Pen mouse cursor AOSP/AOKP

I have noticed that in some AOSP/AOKP build's the mouse cursor automatically shows up on screen when using the S-Pen. I quite like this feature actually, because it really helps with the S-Pen accuracy, especially in things like Citrix receiver and Pocket Cloud where the mouse cursor totally makes sense.
Does anyone know how to enable/disable this with the S-Pen? Is there some line in the build.prop that I'm missing? Help!

Goto file
/system/usr/idc/sec_e-pen.idc
open in Text Editor
change the value
touch.deviceType = touchScreen
(for mouse pointer off)
touch.deviceType = default
(for mouse pointer on)
save, reboot and enjoy

Would that work in other builds - including official?

OK, that method worked and removed cursor. But I noticed that when writing palm rejection is disabled??

[tasker] clear recent apps command

Hi all,
I would like to add a button on my home screen in order to clear all recent apps without having to long press on the home button and so on.
Is there any command or variable on tasker to make this possible?
Thx for helping

Advanced Task Killer (in playstore).
And then place the widget on home screen.
One-click-kill.

I just want to clear recent apps not kill all tasks! I already have greenify.

I would like to have something like that as well to call it from Llama, so it should be either a simple application that clears all recent apps on start without asking or an intent that can be called by LLama.

Thx!

newest lbe ha a toggle for that, 360 launcher as well. when using both ram is quickly cleared.
Given androids ram optimalization its also quickly filled again lol.

Looking for a similar solution I ended up just using sendevent commands to simulate long pressing the home button & input tap
sendevent /dev/input/event16 1 172 1
sendevent /dev/input/event16 0 0 0
sleep 1
sendevent /dev/input/event16 1 172 0
sendevent /dev/input/event16 0 0 0
input tap 900 1850
Works great on my S4 but you may need to enable pointer in developer options & modify the tap x y. Similarly I also wanted to clear my ram & app cache & ended up putting it all together in 2 tasks that perform either with shake events(etcha sketch?)

oooh yeah!!!! nice touch

Install xposed framework and then Gravity Box will give you the option on a nexus 5. Couldn't find the option on Tasker either.

Is this configured under "Shell Script"?

Could you explain how you did this?
I've spent the last hour trying to get it done on my AT&T Galaxy S4 running GPE 4.4 ROM and can't get it to work.
Thanks!

Extra help
Hi, I'm new to forums and Tasker. Could you please explain step-by-step how you created this please? Your method seems to be the only one on the internet.... and its beyond my knowledge of Tasker.
Thanks

Hi guys landed here because I searched for this problem ....
I came up with a solution myself since the method described here is different for every device I think this should work for most
Open tasker -->new task--> script ---> run shell --> and paste this in the command line :
input keyevent APP_SWITCH
input tap 2150 1540
these numbers "2150 1540 " are for my note 10.1 2014 edition ... these are coordinates which set the location for the simulated touch tap ...
you can get your x y coordinates by enabling show cursor position in develepor options
this command does open the recent apps menu
and presses the close all all apps button
greetings

Thanks for this. However it isn’t working. I have a Galaxy Note 3 and assuming it’s the Xv: and Yv co ordinates I have 0.073 and 0.263.
But when I enter
input keyevent APP_SWITCH
input tap 0.073 0.263
It doesn’t work and the task seems to take a while to stop running.
What am I doing wrong?
If I do
new task--> script ---> run shell --> input keyevent APP_SWITCH
and click run should it open up the recent apps list? Because it doesn’t.
Thanks,

From what I understand, note 10.1 2014 still running on Android 4.3 but Note 3 already in 4.4.2, I guess Kitkat might have change this.

just take the X and Y not Xv Yv
there schouldnt be points and commas
ill check if input keyevent APP_SWITCH works on kitkat
meanwhile try
input keyevent KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH
look again

Write text to screen on non-rooted device

I have Galaxy S8, Android 7.0, not rooted. I am trying to actually launch Google voice and insert contact to send message to. Using tasker and autoinput, I can launch GV and click new message button, but I can not for the life of me input the name of the contact into the screen. I can do it on a rooted Android 6.0 device, but not the S8.
I've tried this every which way:
1. Tasker->AutoInput->Write Text (not supported on non-rooted device?)
2.Tasker-> AutoInput-> Paste Text (copied to clipboard using Tasker)
3. Tasker->shell command->"input text" (not supported on non-rooted device?)
4. Tasker->Ctl-V->Text
5. Tasker->Remote ADB Shell->"input text"
6. Tasker->input->write (not supported on non-rooted device)
So, I think it's safe to say that between tasker/autoinput/etc... there is NO way to write text to screen on device that is not rooted. I hope I'm wrong, and if someone knows how, please let me know! Thank you.

I'm not rooted as well and the AutoInput paste action works. Are you sure you have the text field selected right? This was something I had to struggle with in the beginning. (S7 Edge)
Edit: You could try the TouchTask plugin, this might work in areas where AutoInput doesn't.

Well, I stand corrected. After struggling and struggling, I was finally able to write to screen. But, guess what? Every time I execute the profile, it adds the last %avcommnofilter value to the field in addition to the new one. Example attached (I used it for "Chester" 3 times). Also, it places a space before the name, effectively rendering it useless for my purpose of searching contacts.
Here is how I finally manged to get this far:
Code:
Profile: Google Voice Text (12)
Event: AutoVoice Recognized [ Configuration:Command: "google voice text (regex)" ]
Enter: Launch GV Message (11)
A1: Launch App [ App:Voice:SplashActivity Data: Exclude From Recent Apps:eek:n Always Start New Copy:eek:n ]
A2: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Stored Action: Voice - 'Start a conversation' - Click Timeout (Seconds):10 ]
A3: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Stored Action: Voice - 'To' - Write Timeout (Seconds):20 ]
A4: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Focus
Text to Write : %avcommnofilter
Action : Write Timeout (Seconds):20 ]
I say "Google voice text <name>" to launch GV, hit add message button, and click on "To" field.
I used autoinput to create two stored actions: A2 to click on the "add message button" and A3 to click on the "To" field. These work. I then write %avcommnofilter using Focus on the "To" field. This places the name into the field, with a leading space. If I repeat the command, the screens come back up, the contacts field is empty, then the name, with leading spaces, is duplicated. This repeats itself until I manually "delete all" from the clipboard.
The only way to get rid of the duplicate names is to manually clear the keyboard (I haven't found a way to do it in Tasker that works so far). And, even when there aren't any duplicates, the leading space is there.
If you have figured out how to do this successfully, would you PLEASE share? Thanks!

Finally figured this out. Problem is, the text written into field has a leading space and is duplicated every time I repeated the command. Or rather, the last text pasted is added to %CLIP and inserted into field with new text after each command.
I had assumed I could not use AutoInput->write->field id because I could never get it to work. After hours of trial and error, I finally realized I was missing the correct field id in the write action. Located correct field id, removed leading space from %avcommnofilter and used "write" instead of "focus" to avoid pasting from %CLIP. And now it works.
For the benefit of others who find themselves in the same situation, here is the code that worked for me:
Code:
Profile: GV TouchTask (6)
Event: AutoVoice Recognized [ Configuration:Command: "google voice text (regex)" ]
Enter: GV Text (13)
A1: Launch App [ App:Voice Data: Exclude From Recent Apps:eek:ff Always Start New Copy:eek:n ]
A2: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:1 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A3: Actions [ Configuration:Action: Tap Method: Point (x,y) Selection: 948 1944 Timeout (Seconds):10 ]
A4: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:1 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A5: Variable Set [ Name:%Space To: Recurse Variables:eek:ff Do Maths:eek:ff Append:eek:ff ]
A6: Variable Search Replace [ Variable:%avcommnofilter Search:%Space Ignore Case:eek:ff Multi-Line:eek:ff One Match Only:eek:n Store Matches In: Replace Matches:eek:n Replace With: ]
A7: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Text
Value: To
Text to Write : %avcommnofilter
Action : Write Timeout (Seconds):20 ]
My goal was to launch Google voice and start new conversion (send text message), searching for the contact name in my command. Neither Google assistant or Google now will send text messages using Google voice.
I created AutoVoice recognized event based on command "google voice text".
A1 launches Google voice app.
A2 waits 1 second
A3 presses the "start conversation" button on the app's home page. I used TouchTask to press the "start conversation" button, but could have used AutoInput to do the same thing.
A4 waits 1 second
A5 creates variable %Space that just contains one keyboard space character
A6 removes leading (first) space from %avcommnofilter (the contact keyword name in the command)
A7 used AutoInput action "write" to enter contact keyword into "To" field. This was the key -- discovering the field id of the field whee I wanted to write the text. joaomgcd says you can find it using "easy setup". I found it using UI Query.
The end result is that a list of contacts matching the keyword in my command. I just pick the one I want to send text to.
Hopefully I'll get better at this. I hope more newbies will take the time to explain how they fix their problems.
Thank you for the assistance.

Keyboard problem (Oreo)

Hi everyone !
Since I updated to Oreo (from VTR-L29C432B185 to VTR-L29 8.0.0.360 (C432)), everything is fine but my Swiftkey keyboard has gone really bigger (I have to put it on verry small to have a normal size keyboard).
I tried to switch to Google Keyboard, wich I prefer, but I couldn't (Google Keyboard greyed in keyboard options)...
Any solutions here?

You have to manually enable gboard in settings. I don't remember where is that option but settings>system>language and input and there you should find option to use gboard instead swifkey

I hate swiftthing...Gborad works perfectly
