[Project] Bring back the Spotify Widget - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Recently Spotify decided to remove their Widget for whatever reason.
Luckily with Tasker you can bring it back! Check it out!
Just import the project from here and follow the instructions at the same link and you’ll have the Spotify widget back in no time!
As a bonus you can click the widget's title to change the app to control, so you can, for example, control both Spotify and Google Play Music with the same widget!
Don't forget to get AutoNotification and enable its Notification Access service (in Tasker > Menu > More > Android Settings > Notification Access > Enable AutoNotification) to get the album art to work.
Enjoy!

Can this be done for a full screen lock screen to change songs, maybe including the background as the album art?
Regards

I just tried to go through your steps and found that the Kustom.zip was corrupt and could not be unzipped. I tried again and got the same result.
Kind Regards

Lollipop 5.0.1 Tips

I figured I'd start a thread to share tips and tricks moving over to LP 5.0.1
Haven't found a way to add icons to Lock Screen other then Call & Camera yet BUT..
If your like me and really don't like the use of LP's Home button I downloaded "Screen Off and Unlock" from play store, now when I press and hold Home the screen goes off/sleep, it still goes to Google Now if you double hit Home...
1) If you want to use Do Not Disturb (DND), setting the toggle to on will keep DND on all the time. Setting just a schedule (and keeping the toggle off) will only activate DND during the scheduled time.
Alternatively, you can use the app called Do Not Disturb, which, IMO, works better than the default one. Plus, you can set multiple schedules!
2) if you're like me and hate how the new lockscreen notifications show everything that appears in your notification panel, and only shows the first 2 notifications (before you have to expand them all), then look at NiLS on Play. It mimics the LP lockscreen notifications, but you can choose what notifications to show or hide. And you can theme them too.

[HELP] Audio Profiles

hi... i would like to seek help in creating audio profiles...
1st, i would like to be able to create a menu on the notification panel to be able to manually set audio profiles... if it's not possible on the notification panel, then a widget on the home screen will do... if a menu isn't possible, then individual shortcuts will do...
2nd, i would like to be able to create custom notifications for different applications similar to LlamaTones...
thanks!
1. go to preferences of Tasker, check the notification action button, and choose your tasks.
2. not that I know of...out maybe this could be complicating. I guess you will have to monitor notification (provided your needed apps show them for notifying) - e.g. using AutoNotification, and then act upon it.

Google Home Spotify Alarm

After installing this profile you will be able to set an alarm that will play a song or playlist on Google Home.
**Required** Spotify Premium Account & Tasker. Also download the Spotify_Alarm.prf.xml.
Part 1:
1. Install and setup Tasker on your phone.
2. Open the Spotify app and find the song or playlist of your choice.
3. Click on the three vertical dots to the right of your song or playlist, then select “Share,” then “Copy Link” (you will make use of the URL in the next section).
4. Play the song to get access to the "Devices Available" setting at the bottom of the screen and select your Google Home. Exit Spotify.
Part 2:
1. Place the Spotify_Alarm.prf.xml file in your device’s Tasker/profiles folder (if these folders do not exist then create them).
2. Open Tasker and long-press “Profiles,” then select “Import” and import the xml file from Part 1.
3. Once imported press the Spotify Alarm profile to expand it and press the task portion of the profile (the section on the right hand side of the profile).
4. Next press "Browse URL" and copy the Spotify URL in the "URL" field. The start of the URL will begin with "https://open.spotify..." change it to "https://play.spotify..."
5. Back-out of Tasker to save the profile. Done!
You can now create an alarm on your phone using Google Now or by hand (set your alarm app to silent). The alarm will trigger your Spotify selection and cast it to GH. Enjoy!
***Important***
- Depending on your Android version, you must disable your lockscreen or Spotify will not auto-play, Set your lockscreen to “none.”
- Playing music on GH prior to your scheduled alarm will reset the Spotify cast device app setting back to "phone." Therefore set the Spotify app to play on GH just prior to going to bed to avoid this issue.
- Disable battery optimization for both Tasker and Spotify or your device may disable their service when idle.

about fm radio and showing alarm on lock screen?

it seem it should be possible to have the next alarm shown on the lock screen but I can't get it to show, did i miss read?
is there a very simple fm radio app out there that doesnt ask crazy permissions? i just want to listen ...
thanks
I use NextRadio (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextradioapp.nextradio). The only permission that it's asked for is Location.
Settings > Lock Screen > Facewidgets. You can toggle Weather, Music Controller, Today's Schedule & Next Alarm widgets.
You have to swipe the clock to get to the widgets, reducing their convience.

Individual per app notification sound

Hello!
I just went from an s8+ to s10+ (1tb if that mathers), i now only have one kind of notification sound for everything, on the s8, snapchat and facebook messenger had other sounds to tell them apart, now everyting just sounds the same...
Is there a way to change sound per app notification? I can't seem to find that setting..
Each notification sound is set inside each app. Or you can just go Settings > Notifications > click "show all" and change the dropdown menu to "All".
You can clikc on any app, and if it has a notification sound setting, you can change it in there too.
Step 1) Navigate: settings>>notifications>>see all>>appYouWant
Step 2) You'll see a list called categories with toggle switches with names like "General Notification" click on these, you can set individual tones in here.
