New flow on Android 11 Note20Ultra - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hi.
I am currently using the automagic app on note20ultra with android Q. Unfortunately the app is not supported for android R. So I have a question about Tasker. I have a few done flows and I don't know if I can do it in Tasker too. Here is a list of flows:
1. by clicking on the icon on the desktop, the list of applications and the specific application are launched. Then the application options are selected. Here you will probably need a touch simulation feature.
2. Removing top notification bar notifications from specific applications.
3. A desktop shortcut that cleans up the recent app and locks the screen together with the greenify sleep app.
4. Transferring files downloaded from Firefox to an external memory card.
5. Launching GoogleMap and turning on the GPS. Disabling GPS when closing the application.
Please help to learn Tasker.

Turn Equalizer On When Headset Plugged In

I downloaded Tasker with the intent of doing one single action - turning my equalizer on whenever I plug in my earphones, as the topic title might suggest.
Is this possible? The app I use has an option to put a shortcut on my home screen that turns it on without actually opening the app. Is there a way that I can set Tasker to perform this same fucntion?
(Additionally: is there a way to set it to ignore the function if the equalizer is already on? And is it possible to set it to turn the equalizer off in the same way (there's a home screen shortcut provided for that too) when I unplug my earphones?)
You can do that, but you need to have "autoShortcut"
Sorry, I can't link to it, but search for it on google play
Or actually, you don't need it, you can do it by running scripts that emulate screen touches, but option one is the easiest by far
(EDIT: You need root to emulate screen touches)
You can launch shortcuts within Tasker by selecting "All" in the launch application task (to show all applications installed) then simply long-press on the app you installed and it will bring up relevant activities that you can directly launch.

Lock access to certain apps and settings

Dear Tasker-Masters,
My goal:
I want to limit the use of certain apps on my son's phone (running CM12.1) using tasker. Some apps (basically games) are time-limited, others shall not be accessible at all.
What I did (apart from deactivating the guest account):
I've defined a profile "No access" that activates when certain apps start (including play store and settings). This profile starts a task calling for a lock screen asking for a code. Locking settings is especially needed to deactivate the option to developer options and root access, access to other appstores, or the device admin section.
What my son did:
He found out, that the locked app appears in the app history. Clicking the locked app in the history immediatly brings up the lockscreen. However, there's a tiny time frame of maybe 0.1 seconds, where the locked app reacts to strokes on the display. This way, it's possible to scroll down the "setting" app until you get to the "security" and "device admin" section, and then to disable tasker from there. Now, profiles cannot read or react to whatever appears in the foreground of the display.
My question:
1. Can you think about a secure way to lock access to android settings? How would that be?
2. is it possible to deactivate the appearence of (only!) the android settings in the app history?
1. Create a profile -> Application -> Settings. This will trigger when someone goes into the settings app (yes even settings its an app).
In the task itself you can just "Go Home".
The task will trigger even if he goes to the settings from the recent app screen.
2. If your phone is rooted then just kill the settings app from running.
If not use AutoInput to press that "kill all" button (unfortunately).
Make sure also that tasker is a device administrator. You don't want your son to "accidentally" uninstall it.
You can't uninstall device admin apps without turning off that setting and he cant go into settings.
I hope these guidelines will help you.

Profile triggered by %time variable not firing

Phone is Pixel 3a running Android 10, Tasker is up-to-date.
I have a profile called PwrConnect that runs a task called Clock. The task simply launches my alarm clock app on the phone. The profile is primarily triggered when any power is connected to the phone but it has a secondary condition that specifies the time must be between 10:30pm and 6:00am.
When I plug my charger into the phone the profile is not triggered. If I remove the secondary condition (the time constraint) then the profile triggers when I plug in. But here's where it gets kind of strange. If I include the secondary condition (the time constraint) and I have the Tasker app open when I plug the charger in then the profile fires and runs the task which launches the clock app. Alternatively, I have also tried putting the time constraint in the task (%time > 2230) but that does not work either.
What am I doing wrong??? Or, is this a bug? Anyone else see anything like this?
Do you have "reliable alarms" enabled?
Have you tried a simple profile to just test the time context?

I'm not sure what "reliable alarms" is. Is that a setting in Tasker or Android?
Anyway, I have done some more testing. I added another step to the Clock task to simply flash a message when the task runs and I have found that the task (and therefore the profile) is indeed being executed as it should be - that is: when power is connected and the time is between 10:30pm and 6:00am. I can tell this because the message flashes on the screen when I connect power. BUT... the clock app only launches if I have the Tasker app open when I connect power. If the Tasker app is not open then I see the message flash but the clock app does not launch.
Reliable alarms is a tasker setting in preferences on the monitor tab. It helps tasker accurately execute time related activities.
What device and ROM are you on?
The following profile works fine for me with Tasker not in the foreground:
Code:
Time: From 11:44AM Till 3:44PM
State: Power [
Source:Any
]
Enter: Open App
A1: Launch App [
App:Clock
Data:
Exclude From Recent Apps: Off
Always Start New Copy: Off
]

Device: Pixel 3a, ROM: stock Android 10 (not rooted)
I am fairly certain that the problem lies with the clock app that I am using. When I change the task so that it launches the stock, built-in clock app then everything works as it should. The clock app that I am trying to use (Kaloer Clock) is no longer in the PlayStore so has not been updated in a while. So, I suspect that there is something about it that Android 10 does not like. The app still functions fine and I can manually start it or Tasker will start it IF Tasker is running in the foreground. In fact this app has a setting that should start it automatically when power is plugged in but that stopped working about the time that I upgraded to Android 10, which is why I was trying to automate it with Tasker. I hate to give up on this app though because it is the only clock app I have found that allows me to tap anywhere on the screen to snooze the alarm (or long-press to cancel it). Everything else I have tried makes you tap an on-screen button which is difficult without my glasses.
Using AutoNotification (or any tasker notification listener plugin), a scene and intents, you can make the Google Clock have a full screen snooze/dismiss "button".
I slapped together an example that I put on Taskernet. It's full screen, a tap snoozes and long press dismisses.
To run it as is, you will need AutoNotification installed. The "ktm" after the profile/task/scene names can be removed. I do this to help prevent name collisions with anything already existing during import.

Ktmom,
I installed AutoNotification and imported your project. I am assuming that I need to delete either step 2 or 3 in the Stop Alarm ktm task. But, the scene does not appear unless I have Tasker running in the foreground when the alarm fires. Just wondered if you have test this in Android 10? Seems as though all my problems started after I upgraded.

The action that you're not using can be deleted or left paused.
And no, sorry, I'm always slow to update to major releases. But, there's something to try.
Edit the scene that your using, without changing anything else, tap the 3-dot menu. Select "properties" and change the "property type" to "activity". Save out of the scene.
Now edit the task -> show scene action that you are using and change "display as" to "activity".
Save out of the task, and Tasker, then test again.

Launch hidden Apps on Android head unit

Hello guys,
I registered new here because I'm clueless with my new android radio.
I installed nova launcher because the stock design is awful but the standart apps are neither shown in the launcher or in the applications tab in settings.
I want to make shortcuts for those apps on homescreen but at the moment I can only launch Apps like Music, Radio and DVD Player via the physical buttons on the radio. Is there anyway to find the root of those Apps and create a shortcut for them?
Just found out that all those features are a part of the com.ts.mainui8 App if that helps.
OK finally found a Solution for my Problem, the App Activity Launcher allows to ceate certain shortcuts, thanks anyway
Hi, I am getting crazy with same problem, I want to start the radio from agama launcher that only launches app, not activity. To go around this I am using tasker to create an app that launches radio activity.
com.ts.MainUI8/com.ts.can.CanExRadioActivity
Something is launched with no error, but result is just a flash on screen and toolbar happearing for just a sec. Probably I need parameters or intent.
How did you start the radio?
