Hi I am new to Tasker and I found it is really really a helpful app and indeed is only limited by your imagination. I did setup some basic profiles like controlling brightness, rotation and volumes. I am really getting some creative ideas to speed up my tasks. However I'm stuck in setting up a profile correctly so I'm requesting for a help.
Requirement- launching of an app (like YouTube, gallery, mx player ) should change the brightness. But at day the brightness should be higher and at night it should be lower. I'm able to change the brightness when app is launched, but can't figure out how to deal with day night time thing. Please help.
Thanks.
Twilight Plugin from Google Play
I use tasker to turn bluetooth on when i am not at home or at work. I set up a profile to turn the brightness up when bluetooth is on and the twilight plugin says it is daylight.
I also have another profile which turns the brightness down when i am connected to the car bluetooth and the twilight plugin says it is dark outside.
It seems the Pixel and some other ROMs have automatic night mode at night time (dusk to dawn) but I haven't found an easy way to do this is in OOS 4.0.2. Anyone have any ideas?
I was thinking of using Tasker but with dawn / dusk changing daily it is a bit complicated...
thanks in advance,
Ken
Use CF.Lumen it gives you much more control than stock night mode and it's free.
Also, Nova launcher has option for automatic day/night mode.
I'll try out both of these. Thanks y'all.
I'm using Tasker in combination with Twilight. Once Twilight is installed it is available as a plugin in Tasker and all settings for the night mode can be set in the app itself.
I have noticed that running Android Auto in Phone Mode (as my car doesn't support Android Auto on it's head unit) on the Note 8 results in a UI issue with the spacing between the status bar and the application being non-existent so they overlap each-other as shown in the attached screenshots. This is looks rubbish when trying to use google maps using the Android Auto Phone Mode.
Does anybody have any fixes for this?
Hello,
Everytime I open android auto it mutes my ringtones and notifications. This did not happen on my previous phone (s7 edge); does anybody know how to disable this? It does not even show me my onscreen notifications when driving
I had the same problem, just using Android Auto on the phone, not a car screen. I'm afraid it's due to how Xiaomi have made Do Not Disturb, in that it isn't the same as standard Android. There used to be a toggle in the settings of Android Auto, but they removed that and you can't add exceptions in DND on Xiaomi. So, the only work around I have found is to download an app called Macrodroid. (Free) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid
And create a macro that detects when Android Auto is launched then disable DND, with a 5 second delay to allow Android Auto to start and switch DND mode.
If you want I can share screens of the macro.
If anyone has a better way let me know!
I keep having Dark Theme switching off when I connect to Android Auto in My 2020 Kia Soul. It happens about 50% of the time. I notice when it brings up Google Maps and it is in Light Theme. Is anyone else seeing this issue? Or have suggestions on how to correct this?
Stock, unlocked from Google Store & running on T-Mobile
Dark theme is heavily tied to the messages app, and when Android auto accesses messages it overrides the system theme with the current Android auto theme. There's no know did as I'm aware of, besides using a substrantum theme.

Try override force dark on developer options
This is nothing new. Every time I connect to android auto, dark theme is turned off.... It did this on all my pixels
Enable developer options in android auto, and then select it to be always dark.
There is also a setting to make it respect the phone, instead of the car, should you wish to do it that way,

What he's saying is the theme on the phone changes from dark to light when Android auto is connected. He's not talking about the display on the infotainment system. I just started using an Android 10 rom on my 5t, and today I experienced the same thing he's talking about. Not really a big deal as I don't use my phone while I'm driving. The display on the vehicle will coincide with the panel dimmer switch on the vehicle. Keep it maxed out it will never go into night mode, back it down 1 click and the Android auto display will automatically toggle between white and dark background as necessary

I know exactly what he is talking about, and if they force Android Auto to dark mode, the phone will stay in dark mode when connected to the vehicle.
As it is now, Android Auto is what controls the light/dark mode on the phone. If you override it on Android Auto developer settings, the phone will respect it how he wants.
You can also alternatively set it so that as opposed to the vehicle controlling it, the phone will determine it instead.

Yes, I could always tell when Android Auto would flip the Dark Theme off because Google Maps on the car display would flip to light mode. Once turning on developer mode in Android Auto and forcing the dark option, I have not had one instance of rebellion.
Thank you all for the troubleshooting and conversating!!
