Hi:
I am looking for an app to filter calls. I would like to allow only certain numbers, and block or silence the rest. All the apps I have found do the opposite, they block only the numbers you ask them to, and it would be very impractical to have to add all numbers except for the 2 I want to allow.
The latest one I tried was call filter, which was great, and easy to use, but the same as the others, you could only block individual numbers, rather than allow only specific numbers.
Thanks!
You can use Tasker to do that. I had a Tasker profile that ran at night when my phone was on silent. It would ring only if calls came in from my children or my parents. You could use the same type of profile but have it active all the time.
Tasker is more complicated than your typical android app. But there are example profiles that you can download and modify.

Hi Redger:
Thanks so much for your reply. I downloaded and installed tasker. You are right, it is complicated. I installed the sample profiles for Auto Sleep Mode with Exceptions (sounds like what you mentioned).
I made it as far as adding the numbers I do want to ring. I am wondering is there any way to activate it manually (maybe a one click home screen type thing), rather than right now it is set to start automatically at a certain time?
Basically what I would like to do, is have only 2 phone numbers able to reach me (for both voice and sms calls) while I am sleeping, and all other numbers to be completely silenced.. I don't really want it to start and stop at a certain time, because my bedtime varies greatly from one day to the next.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again!

You can put a shortcut on the screen to tasker, and it will open to the tasks. Click on the real to turn off. 2 clicks I know.
I think the tasker forums can tell you how to make the task into a "program" like you want.
Edit. Try long pressing on the screen and go to task. It might be there.
Download the generic toggle widget. You can put the widget on your home screen and program it to toggle your sleep mode profile. Remove the time constraints from the sleep profile and set it up to work with the toggle widget.

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to get an idea of how everyone uses tasker or how they want tasker to work for them. Let me know in a comment everything that you have tasker setup to do right now. Also, what tasks do you want but are unsure of how to create a profile for them?
How would I...get my phone to tell me the weather whenever I open my closet? I let the weather determine what I wear and usually I check the weather on my phone right before getting dressed. Would be nice to automate that!
I'm using Tasker for:
-auto-rotate the screen when I launch some apps
-switch off when I'm connected to specific Wi-Fis
-auto-sync my Google account every 2 hours (without night tome)
-auto-sync Google and weather information 30 minutes before my alarm in the morning
I made a tutorial how to do the last one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3277729

After looking into it quite a bit, I cannot find any way that a task could be triggered by opening your closet door. I don't know how to go about making this work that would be more efficient than just using Google Now.

I figured it out, Greenway. All I need is a SmartThings open/close sensor to monitor when I open my closet door. It uses magnets to do this. Then, I can have Tasker "listen" for the notification that my closet door has opened, and then it will tell me the weather. Heck yah!

This also can be done using a Z-wave door sensor + a Vera hub and the AutoVera plug-in for Tasker. AutoVera can monitor all your Z-wave devices in real time to trigger a Tasker task.
In this example, The tasker profile would be:
if the closet door status change from "closed" to "open" (AutoVera) between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m.,
And it would launch the task to say aloud the weather on your phone. Already explained how to get and use weather data in this post
I guess your SmartThings setup is working pretty much the same way
NFC tags

Off the top of my head, I would suggest NFC tags, they are cheep, and you could stick one on your closet door. I believe tasker has an auto NFC function now that will let you create a task based on a NFC scan.
I could be mistaken though.
I do know that you can get the "auto barcode" pluggin which will allow you to automate a task from a barcode scan - just stick a barcode on the door and scan it in the morning!
I'm actually working on creating a personal assistant app that could give you these kind of contextual updates - it pretty easy now with api.ai pluggins.

I didn't see your reply before I posted - yes that would be the ideal solution.
My basic tasks are
- silent when between midnight and 8am, if charger plugged in;
- silent during meetings
- launch Radardroid if connected to car BT
- send an automated Whatsapp saying "I'm driving, can't read messages, call me", if I am connected to my car BT and receive a message (using Whatstasker plugin). Yes I have teenage girls...
I have also automated a series of tasks for when I go out mountain-biking on my own:
scan NFC tag (using Trigger)
start Strava
send a Glympse by SMS to my wife, so she can find me if I do myself some serious damage in the middle of nowhere (using Autoinput to simulate keypresses since there are no intents to actually send the Glympse)
And the reverse when I get back:
scan a different NFC tag using Trigger
stop Strava
stop Glympse (using Autoinput again, as above)
send a Whatsapp to the missus, saying I'm home (using Whatstasker).

Yes, from the Profile page, hit the plus sign, then state, and in the filter area start to write calendar. click on calendar entry, and the 5th entry is "calendar".
Hit the search icon, and you can then choose the calendar from the calendars you currently have.
I use it for:
* Rotate screen for certain apps
*Play music when connected to certain Blutooth devices
* Change volume when connected to certain wifi connections.
I'd like to learn how to use it with AutoAlarm to configure my Lifx light.
I've been trying to find a way to automate the voice recording app via nfc... has anyone seen this done?

how did u create this task . . . ."send an automated Whatsapp saying "I'm driving, can't read messages, call me", if I am connected to my car BT and receive a message (using Whatstasker plugin)"???
I would like , How I can use tasker with-in my Android phone using either my K9 mail client of the gmail apps .
First to check mail every certain mins , once a key word is search ( i.e. from my boss's email ) , takser use my Android phone's build-in SMS client to send myself an SMS.
Thank you very much.
Is it possible, that tasker would lower the priority of ongoing notifications on a condition (e.g. location), so that notification will run, but hides from lockscreen and showing only, if phone is unlocked (and rise after location change)?
i want to use tasker for spying...all activities sms,calls,open applications,locations,call recordings etc forwarded to me on my number/cloud etc with no traces there in their mobile. is it possible with no traces?
Auto reset Mobile Data Cycle on fresh purchase of data.
I know that Android automatically updates the data cycle every thirty one days.
However my carrier only allows a 28 day monthly data plan. Moreover if I do run out of data before that, the system does not account for it. This causes problems for my data cap management unless I manually reset it myself.
Now I think I have one half of it down. After each data plan purchase the carrier sends an sms conformation. I've set up a profile that is triggered when it reads the first half of the confirmation message from the carrier. I cannot however, find the necessary action to reset the data cycle.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you for putting up this thread.
taking pictures by fingerprint? this would be awesome
Diceware
I want to run a Diceware password generator from within Tasker. This could read from a Google Sheet, or from an internal file, or could have all the words stored in Tasker. I'm not exactly sure how to build it in Tasker. I can make a Google Sheet that will use a pseudo-random number generator to choose the values that will be used to select the words from the Diceware list.
Any ideas?
My dream would be picking up the phone from say desk unlocks the screen.
As far as I know it's a no go. Shame...
Hello,
Grateful if someone advises on:
I'm trying to automate airplane mode 00:00 - 07:00 in a non-rooted S8 using tasker / sec setting / autoinput. The problem is to unlock phone to come out of the airplane mode in mornings. For this I want to get played a pre-recorded OK Google audio. Which function, in turn, as I recently learned, is only operative during 4 hours since the last usage of the phone.
Question: by which non-sound tasker operation can I simulate "usage" of the phone at, say 3:30 am?
Alert popup and Wake CPU did not help.
Also asking this from Google support is useless I think because the above 4-hour rule is security driven.
Thank you.
Why not just launch an app? Maybe then have AutoInput back out of that app. I would think anything that makes the device behoove it's had screen interaction will achieve your goal.

Checked that - not that easy unfortunately. How launching an app can produce screen interaction while the phone is locked at night? Or maybe I miss something and there really is such an app / activity / whatever?
Hi to all,
I've always used a great app to manage different sound profiles but with OnePlus 10 Pro (Android 13) I've encountered a big issue.
I need to set notifications to off during the night but rings and alarms have to be set to high.
This is because I need to be contactable for work but I do not want to hear notifications from other apps (mails, whatsapp, ...).
That app is Volume Butler.
In the past, it was simply possible to set the volume for notifications to 0 but now if I set this to 0, automatically the phone set the "do not disturb" mode that prevents calls and alarms, so I have to manually disable it and the automatic process is not working...
I was thinking to use an automated process to change the ringtone for notification using a null-sound but I have not found anything...
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Alex
Tasker can do this. It may be overkill for what you need though, and it's not free.
It's like a way to create profiles that get triggered on a massive number of different things.
A couple I have for example, I turn off AOD on my phone when I'm sleeping, so it doesn't light up the room. I turn off wifi leaving the house, and turn it back on when I get to work, or back home. I mute my phone when I'm at work, and there's an appointment in my work calendar...that sort of stuff.
Tasker is my most used app, as it can do SO many things.

Thank you! I've found MacroDroid that can automatically change the notification sound and for me is enough!
Seeing as there are dozens of people who are claiming issues with receiving notifications. I figured it's time to make this thread.
The following has worked for me to restore notifications for every single app I use.
To date, I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with getting any notifications from any apps. Regardless of the app itself, time, battery state of the phone or 4G/5G/Wifi et cetera,
These are the steps that I have done. They worked for me. If you have already done other steps and things are not working for you. You may likely have broken something on your own, in which case these below steps obviously won't work for you.
Steps.
I got my new phone
I ran the Debloat Script
Rebooted the phone to check everything is working, no force closes etc.
Installed the apps I needed manually (did not copy from any previous device or use a transfer app)
Settings > Battery > Set to Balanced
Settings > Battery > Background Power Consumption > for messaging apps and other real-time important apps I set "High Background Power Usage"
For each app > Go to "App Info" (longtap on app) > Permissions > All Permissions > Autostart ON
Install APKPure store
Update these: Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, Carrier Services
Reboot
Make a test notification from another phone to my Vivo - it works.
Open the app, then use the App Manager to swipe it away from the recents drawer
Make another test notification - it works.
Most of this is just simple a' la: https://dontkillmyapp.com/vivo
I have tested this with the following apps (and many more I could not be bothered to list):
Whatsapp (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Facebook Messenger (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Telegram (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Signal (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Threema (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Snapchat (all message notifications are fine, can receive calls too)
Google Photos (sync works fine, also got shared photos notification)
Gmail (all email notifications working, also Google Meets notification reminders)
Google Calendar (calendar reminders all working)
Microsoft Todo (reminders working fine, also added shared tasks notifications working)
Protonmail (all email notifications working)
Tutanota (all email notifications working)
Weawow Weather (weather alerts working fine, plus persistent notification not being killed for weather)
Pano Scrobbler (automatically opens and detects any playing music correctly even if I haven't opened the app in days)
Youtube Vanced (subscription notifications working fine, so are recommendations)
NewPipe Sponsorblock (same as Youtube Vanced)
This allows apps to start by themselves (also when invoked by another app in the background), it also prevents them from ever being killed in the background so you still get notifications.
Other things to note:
Dark Mode - I have it set to always on, no problems with notifications whatsoever and I have never had a problem
Do Not Disturb - When the schedule is set, all notifications are still received but are muted
com.vivo.pem - Still installed on my phone, I never removed it and I do not recommend removing it
120hz Mode - I am using this all the time
Battery saving or task killing apps? - I have none installed. They are all unreliable.

Battery drain?
My phone barely even drains 20-35% in a day. This is by far the best phone I have ever used when it comes to battery drain. I have never had a problem with the battery draining at all. Not even randomly or overnight. The longest I have left my phone on without any kind of reboot is about 9 days. The phone drains on average about 1.3% per hour if I am not using it and 3% an hour with light use. Even using the camera and taking 4K video, the drain is very minimal. I use auto brightness and I have the always-on display turned off.
Battery drain will always come down to how you use your phone:
How much you pick it up,
Did you Debloat your phone,
Do you play games (I do not),
Are you using 5G (much higher drain) or Wifi (lower drain),
Do you have lots of apps syncing high volumes of data in the background,
Do you have Bluetooth on constantly and NFC in the background always on,
Do you watch a lot of videos (I do not),
Do you regularly properly close apps you aren't using?
and all things like this. As always YMMV. For me though, I could not get a single day out of my Samsung S22U. I can get almost 3 days out of my Vivo X90 Pro+ whilst taking a lot of photos, quite a few videos, having a few calls and using my browser a lot.
Here's 2 screenshots of my battery usage. Purple bars are background usage, which you can see is really nice and low for all apps. Turquoise (blueish) is foreground usage and I think those levels are normal. Notion is a massive battery hog, so is Libby. Notion due to sub-optimal coding and the over aggressive syncing it does when you're even just typing. Libby is just badly made. Likely I will also prevent Libby running in the background, but I allowed it only so I get notifications when my books are ready.
What about *x* app?
I don't know man, do these steps and try it for yourself. This is just what I have done and I have literally a perfect experience with this phone so far, which I think is to be expected because I wasn't chopping up my OS and removing system apps etc. If you feel like you are having a really bad experience, likely the only way forward is to fully factory reset the phone and try these steps.
What about com.vivo.pem?
Look. Friend... If you haven't figured out by the screenshot evidence and everything else I've been saying here and in my other threads, that you absolutely do not need to remove it (and absolutely should not). Then I can't help you and I won't say it again. What I will say though is this. There are a few people who have removed it, all of which STILL are having problems. ALL of which who are facing far WORSE problems like battery drain so bad that one of the biggest advocates for deleting this package is now selling his Vivo X90PP because he's unwilling to admit he bricked it by removing this package. Yet despite this he's still telling others to remove it . What we do know? Well removing to causes massive battery drain, your phone won't even last a full day. Removing it also can make it impossible to install any apps after an OS update . Removing it can also do all sorts of other weird things with your phone like force close apps randomly and cause random restarts. So why did people remove it? Because some "genius" was convinced it was a good idea. Because one guy who owned an X80 said it solved a problem getting his notifications to work. Because instead of looking for a really solution, some guys got out the axe and started hacking. So, keep the package? The worst you'll get is what... a notification might not work (which this whole guide should fix anyway). Remove it? Then only God can help you (or maybe a factory reset). My advice: Leave the package alone. If you already removed it and are having problems, factory reset and run the new debloat script and follow this guide.
Final word
I don't really use this community at all. Nor do I check posts very often. I help out only in my spare time and I don't have any interest in being some active member. In the past I have found this community unwelcoming, toxic and full of chest beaters, so I am really only interested in getting the tools and info I need and then getting out. I am not sure even why I bothered fixing the script for everyone else, I guess because it was simple and I really love this phone and want others to enjoy it. In short, I want more good phones like this and with a little bit of tweaking it can be an amazing device. However, lately, a lot of people have been DMing me after I fixed the debloat script, like over 20 people. Please do not DM me, I will likely not see these posts at all. All my notifications are disabled now after too much spam. Plus I won't reply to them individually. Make your posts in a thread where more than just me could give you an answer and do not pose your questions to "just me". I won't help you with your specific issues. The community here has always been adamant that you need to help yourself, otherwise just buy some overpriced Samdung or iPhone and forget about XDA altogether. My 2 cents.
In any case, I hope this thread helps some people going forward.

You're on my ignore list but I will reply to you this once only. Yes and those chats don't notify me when they are muted but my unmuted group chats notify me on every message. That is, the chats work fine, the exact same way as on my other phone. I don't want muted chats to notify me anyway.
Only viber doesnt work in dark mode in my case (it lights up screen with no content shown and no sound, no notification shown on garmin fenix 7) in light mode works perfectly
Thank you for the guide. But after some time my apps stop getting notifications again. What the solution for that? I have script 2.6 too and vivo pem active.

Also i have noticed when you run new and then old script then battery drain starts.
I always do factory reset before debloating and never restore using unbloat script.

Can you please tell me if your floating notifications pop up for WhatsApp? (The small message preview windows at the top of your screen whilst unlocked.) They work for every app except WhatsApp on mine.

Here's 2 screenshots of my battery usage. Purple bars are background usage, which you can see is really nice and low for all apps. Turquoise (blueish) is foreground usage and I think those levels are normal. Notion is a massive battery hog, so is Libby. Notion due to sub-optimal coding and the over aggressive syncing it does when you're even just typing. Libby is just badly made. Likely I will also prevent Libby running in the background, but I allowed it only so I get notifications when my books are ready.
What about *x* app?
I don't know man, do these steps and try it for yourself. This is just what I have done and I have literally a perfect experience with this phone so far, which I think is to be expected because I wasn't chopping up my OS and removing system apps etc. If you feel like you are having a really bad experience, likely the only way forward is to fully factory reset the phone and try these steps.
What about com.vivo.pem?
Look. Friend... If you haven't figured out by the screenshot evidence and everything else I've been saying here and in my other threads, that you absolutely do not need to remove it (and absolutely should not). Then I can't help you and I won't say it again. What I will say though is this. There are a few people who have removed it, all of which STILL are having problems. ALL of which who are facing far WORSE problems like battery drain so bad that one of the biggest advocates for deleting this package is now selling his Vivo X90PP because he's unwilling to admit he bricked it by removing this package. Yet despite this he's still telling others to remove it . What we do know? Well removing to causes massive battery drain, your phone won't even last a full day. Removing it also can make it impossible to install any apps after an OS update . Removing it can also do all sorts of other weird things with your phone like force close apps randomly and cause random restarts. So why did people remove it? Because some "genius" was convinced it was a good idea. Because one guy who owned an X80 said it solved a problem getting his notifications to work. Because instead of looking for a really solution, some guys got out the axe and started hacking. So, keep the package? The worst you'll get is what... a notification might not work (which this whole guide should fix anyway). Remove it? Then only God can help you (or maybe a factory reset). My advice: Leave the package alone. If you already removed it and are having problems, factory reset and run the new debloat script and follow this guide.
Final word
I don't really use this community at all. Nor do I check posts very often. I help out only in my spare time and I don't have any interest in being some active member. In the past I have found this community unwelcoming, toxic and full of chest beaters, so I am really only interested in getting the tools and info I need and then getting out. I am not sure even why I bothered fixing the script for everyone else, I guess because it was simple and I really love this phone and want others to enjoy it. In short, I want more good phones like this and with a little bit of tweaking it can be an amazing device. However, lately, a lot of people have been DMing me after I fixed the debloat script, like over 20 people. Please do not DM me, I will likely not see these posts at all. All my notifications are disabled now after too much spam. Plus I won't reply to them individually. Make your posts in a thread where more than just me could give you an answer and do not pose your questions to "just me". I won't help you with your specific issues. The community here has always been adamant that you need to help yourself, otherwise just buy some overpriced Samdung or iPhone and forget about XDA altogether. My 2 cents.
In any case, I hope this thread helps some people going forward.

I killed vivo.pem at sunday and it's good. what you say from remove is not right!
@M5Pro60 but do your floating notifications pop up for WhatsApp?
Btw, if I have my phone in vibration mode with screen off it doesn't vibrate for many app notifications . Seems to be just another bug related to notifications. Then when I switch on the screen the notifications arrive delayed sometimes, sometimes not....
Also the notifications don't make it onto my Fenix 6X pro with vibration mode...
Just a rotten software with bugs everywhere....
I did everything as in the first post:
- reminders made on the same day (yesterday) - everything worked
- today, next day, again Google Calendar does not send notifications.
All settings are preserved, nothing has changed.
I don't understand what happened now?
