Hi, thank you but i need off/on mobile data.

Where can i read about this script command?
[Android Apps and Games] psycholyzern:
Sad to see such great app abandoned. I have paid and the dev promised me a new updated. But its been almost 2years since he promised me. Does anyone know any other apps like this?
[Android Apps and Games] GrippingSphere:
Search here in xda the thread on Tasker scripts. One such script is to turn on & off mobile data. But I think your phone should be rooted to make this work.

You can try the one in this link, although i haven't tried if it's working or not:

Hi,

I am using Lenovo K3 Note (K50A40) with K50a40_6.0_S433 Stock ROM.

I am using Secure settings 1.3.6 plugin for Tasker, "Device admin inactive, click to enable" notification pops up on every boot.

Same was working fine with Vibe 1629 and all other ROM's.

Thanks in advance.

Hi ALL,

I am just new to this secure settings plugin in conjunction of Macrodroid app. I just to ask if there is a available action to Freeze/Defrost android app.

Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] triathlete66:
yes, Freeze/Defrost is possible with secure settings.

Look at:

root actions

package state
[Android Apps and Games] piccit:
Verified workaround for system+ when using sytemless root using magisk:

If you're using magisk, you can make a module to systemless-ly put su in /system/xbin, which will allow the system+ module to install and allow root actions to work (at least GPS, airplane mode, and lock screen timeout, which are the only ones I tested).

I haven't made a flashable zip, but here's how to manually make it (note: need magisk already installed):

1) I just copied the phh folder in /magisk and renamed. But you can just make a new folder

2) in /magisk/<your_folder> create: 'auto_mount' and 'module.prop'

3) Update 'module.prop' See Magisk guide for what should be in this file, or just copy another module and update

4) Create a folder called 'system' (/magisk/<your_folder>/system)

5) in system, create xbin (/magisk/<your_folder>/system/xbin)

(important to note: do not use 'bin' here as that will cause the phh module to fail to actually give you root)

6) in xbin, create a link to su. I'm using the phh su module for magisk, so my root is at /magisk/.core/bin/su

And then reboot and profit
[Android Apps and Games] nacos:
Yes, but Titanium Backup Pro is the ONE you really need.

Thanks for the reply but i need it to use in a macrodroid app.
[Android Apps and Games] jasonbiggs:
Anyone know if Nougat supported? I have root but shows as system+ module requires root to function. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Works for me in both Stock and Pure Nexus Nougat installs with Multi-ROM using PHH SuperUser.
[Android Apps and Games] jasonbiggs:
I'm using SuperSU. Could that be the issue? Although I've always used SuperSU with no issues pre 7.0.
[Android Apps and Games] swallowingled:
Yes it works but if you're using systemless root you'll need to enable compatibility mode to get it to work since Secure Settings hasn't been updated in a very long time. Here is the instructions I followed that someone else posted:

From adb shell (or Terminal Emulator), run 'su', then:

echo "BINDSYSTEMXBIN=true">>/data/.supersu

Then, reflash SuperSU.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, this. ^^^^^^

[Android Apps and Games] jasonbiggs:
Thanks. Flawless.
[Android Apps and Games] Ingenium13:
I wish there was a way to decompile the app to figure out what it's doing for some of the actions. Like how it enables/disables notifications for an app.

That's the only feature I use, and I have work arounds to avoid compatibility mode, but it still requires the plugin.

[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
If you're referring to its Secure Settings functions, almost all of them don't work on my S7 Edge.

Compatibility seems to be the best with Nexus devices, but all in all, it's not a replacement for the Secure Settings plug-in.

[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
[MENTION=3336153]PhilipTD[/MENTION] thanks for info...

GPS works ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Have you given the Plugin certain permissions with ADB? Without them it won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] deechte:
I was hoping it could toggle NFC, but it can't.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Yes. I followed the instructions and reported my results to AutoTool's author when the plug-in was still in beta.

Several people confirmed my findings. On most phones, the quick settings on the notification pull-down will be toggled when the commands are executed, but the associated functions have no effect. So, if you toggle mobile data from the on state, for example, it will cosmetically appear to have been disabled, but will still be enabled. This is worse than useless, because not only does it not work, but the system now no longer even reflects its true state.

Only one setting from the whole group worked for me. I can no longer remember which one, but if you browse the plug-in author's Google+ community, you will quickly find the discussion.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Thanks. I will have a look at the Google community. I only use it for toggling GPS and at least that function works flawless.
[Android Apps and Games] Javi22:
Im using the plugin tasker toggle settings... Since 7.1, night mode commands do not longer work. Is it working in auto tools with 7.1?

I am trying to automate the clearing of the cache of the damn "Downloader manager" system app (which is a problem on my tablet with only 16GB of internal storage) at boot with Tasker and Secure Settings Pro.

The problem is that Secure Settings returns the "An error occurred while executing Action: Package Options!" error message...

I wrote to the developer but no answer.

Anybody knows how to solve this or some other way to accomplish what I am trying to do..?

P.S. reading this long thread I see that mine is a problem many have had/are having but no reported solutions...
[Android Apps and Games] Ingenium13:
At this point, your best bet is the contact the developer of AutoTools. He seems to be reimplementing a bunch of features from this app.

My phone is rooted: samsung J700T. But the app says I'm not rooted. This makes no sense. Why is this occurring and what do i do about it?
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
Secure Settings does not see systemless root, if you have systemless root, use this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autotools

It has less features, but it works...

Secure Settings was update for the last time in 2014, so it is abandoned...
[Android Apps and Games] voroxda:
Alternatively:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

touch /sbin/su /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

mount -o remount,ro /system

exit

reboot
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Alternately, use the comparability mode offered by Chainfire.

https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/N6EARb8LF3d
[Android Apps and Games] GrippingSphere:
Alternatively, you can root your phone via system-mode rooting , not system-less. Secure Settings doesn't recognise system-less rooting.
[Android Apps and Games] glenalm:
I thought root was root, nothing like a partial root. Doesnt make any sense. I got 3 questions:

1) Whats the difference between the two?

2) Is system mode rooting full root?

3) Whats the easiest way to use system-mode root?

That app wont do. I need to actually get my 4G toggle in my notification bar and toggle 4G without the stupid notification popup. I dont think that app will give me that.

Will this give me system-mode root? As simple as that? If so, will I lose any data or custom settings in the process?

I looked at the link. It suggested that I enter the following in a rooted shell then reflash SuperSU. It will re-enable compatibility mode:

echo "BINDSYSTEMXBIN=true" >> /data/.supersu

But will this work or will the command supplied by voroxda work better?
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
If it did not work, and I have used it, I would not recommend it. I have no idea about the other method, I have not used it. You need to try and see what works best for you. Make a nandroid backup so you can restore to where you are now and then test them.
[Android Apps and Games] GrippingSphere:
AFAIK system-less rooting doesn't modify much the system thereby effecting still an OTA update if there is one.

System-mode rooting modifies the system. This was the usual method of rooting before system-less was introduced. You will need system-mode type of SuperSU available online. Also you will need a Permissive kernel (a modified kernel) to allow this type of rooting. Some examples are H-Vitamin and Xceed kernels.

Using a script as 'voroxda' previously posted also works.

I tried the compatibility method before but it didn't work, but maybe it's just me doing a wrong step.
[Android Apps and Games] voroxda:
Obviously both methods are working. In my opinion the compatibility mode in chainfires supersu is to prefer, because of a better approach in system integration. Try it first.

Good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] glenalm:
Thank you so much guys for your inputs. But I cant make a nandroid because the data partition is not mountable in TWRP. On my samsung J7 phone, TWRP does not support Samsung's encryption method.

I'm trying to use Secure Settings to prevent Bluetooth from being toggled when Airplane mode is toggled. I have a rule that worked all set up, but recently I upgraded my ROM and did a clean install and now the rule isn't working after restore. I only wanted Mobile Data and WiMax to toggle, they do and WiFi doesn't as it should but for some reason BT does. Is there anything that could be causing this?

Update: Uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling solved my problem. In case anyone else encounters the same problem
[Android Apps and Games] Arstoien:
does anyone know any other app integrated with tasker that can enable/disable accessibility of other apps? That's the only thing left I use SS for.

Terminal command would be even better.

It has been a while since this app has been updated but asking for adding the option certainly can't hurt :D
[Android Apps and Games] scutworker:
I've been using this since the year dot and had good use out of it. But now, with it not being updated, problems are occuring:

The reboot/shutdown function no longer works with the latest SU and so I'm looking for a new app to do it.

Does anybody know of an app that can be used by Tasker to *cleanly* shutdown or restart the phone? By that I mean a normal shutdown and not just instant power off like a lot of apps.

Ta.
[Android Apps and Games] daniu:
Hi

I think you are looking for the wrong thing. You should be googeling: "shutdown android terminal" and find this: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/47989/how-i-shutdown-android-phone-with-adb-command

Not sure this works but I guess it will. I guess lots of things that secure settings does can be done with terminal commands and tasker can call terminal commands easier than it can execute secure settings commands.

But I also pitty that secure settings does not get updated ...

Secure Settings shutdown function works fine on my phone with the latest MM. I'm using at the moment SuperSU Pro v2.79.

Check that Tasker preferences is set to "Always" in "Use Reliable Alarms" settings option, and Tasker & Secure Settings excluded in battery optimisation.
[Android Apps and Games] Sobek5150:
Has anyone found an alternative method to set/clear pin code lock screen on Nougat? System root with Secure Settings errors out when attempting this. I'm guessing something changed in the code on Nougat.

Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] Arstoien:
Reliable alarms has nothing to do with this. Its purpose is to wake up the phone more reliably in certain scenarios. Just fyi to whoever is reading.
[Android Apps and Games] GrippingSphere:
"Reliable Alarms" is necessary if you set Tasker to auto reboot/shutdown your phone at a specific time of the day using Secure Settings, just like what I'm doing on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] voroxda:
"Reliable alarms" is important under marshmallow. The term is self explanatory. There is not a direct connection to the plugin. It is a tasker internal. Without this options timedriven events in tasker will not raised in time. Not more not less.

I have a problem gettig secure settings to work under android 7 / nougat. it don't get's root access without problems.

I'm using a OnePlus 3T with Android 7.0 / TWRP 3.0.3 / systemless root - v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip

under android 6 it was easy to bypass any problems via adb shell by typing the follwing commands:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
touch /system/bin/su
mount -o remount,ro /system
reboot

when you use this command under android 7 you get the following error:

Device or resource is busy

BUT... when you access the system folder with any kind of root explorer and create a folder called "su" (without the quotes) under /ROOT/SYSTEM/BIN secure settings get's root access without any problems and the system+ module works like a charm. :o

BUT by doing this workaround other apps who need root access won't work anymore (e.g. adaway and titanium backup) :(

Has anybody an idea to fix this?!

Hi

On my asus zenfone selfie the task "pattern lock" is not working no matter which method I choose in settings.

Now I found that there is a file in /data/system called gatekeeper.pattern.key

Deleting or renaming that file does the trick ...

BUT ...only after rebooting. I would like to disable pattern lock temporary so the above is not all that I want ...

There is this: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2620456 thread that discusses the topic but it seems that the purpose here is to get back a device after pattern lock was forgotten or somehow changed (by others?)

Also found this: https://intangibleobject.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/292048-sqlite-pattern-unlock-option which did not change anything. Secure settings still cannot do it.

And I found this:

http://www.wuench.com/blog/tasker-how-to-unlock-your-screen/

which suggests to kill some app. I did not find the taskkill plugin and also do not like something like that as app as it is quite obvious that it can be done with the terminal (needs root rights anyways ...)

So actually I assume the only thing I am lacking is: which app do I need to stop and if necessary restart? Any idea?

Played arround with ps and killed some but the best I could get was a pattern lock that did not allow any unlocking with any pattern until reboot when I killed some process - gonna check which one again.

Any suggestions highly appreciated!

What if..?

Intangible, when you say the app sends a request to the helper program for actioning, is there anything to stop a third party app that is aware of Secure Settings sending a similar request? Can anything in Secure Settings be leveraged by a rogue app?

Just curious, I have no idea how things like this work so it's possible I'm talking nonsense.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Secure Settings is the only program that can interact with the Helper. However, due to the nature of how broadcast receivers work, there is no way to know what app sent the original request to Secure Settings.

When Secure Settings receives a request, it validates that an authorized app is installed. That being said, a rogue app could potentially figure out what Secure Settings is expecting and send the request. It would only respond if an authorized app is also installed.

My best suggestion is to be careful what you download.
[Android Apps and Games] hollal:
Is there any logging of these requests so that a rogue app could be easily identified?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Secure Settings logs every request (as well as other things) to the logcat system. To see more logs, enable debug in the app's settings.
[Android Apps and Games] housert:
Seeing the way you've helped everyone else so far, I'm hoping you'd be so kind to also lend me a hand. I'm on a HD2 running ICS 4.0.3 rooted (tytung build). I seem to not be able to use the GPS triggers that the helpe should provide in Tasker.

What I'm doing: adding a plugin -> secure settings -> edit. My only option here is "Failed Login Attempts". I can't select GPS settings in the top menu.

What I've tried so far:

- reinstall SS

- reinstall the helper

- rebuild dalvik

- searched my ass off

I don't really know where to go on from here, so if you could lend a hand, that would be awesome!

edit: ignore this post. fiddling around more fixed my issue. How about adding GPS as a task in Tasker, not as a context..
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The GPS option is listed as an Action in Tasker. The "Failed Login Attempts" option is listed as a State.

To use the GPS, create a Task then click the "+" > Plugin > Secure Setings > "Edit" > Select GPS from the menu.
[Android Apps and Games] kingnba6:

[Android Apps and Games] phantomblu:
Is it possible in future updates to make the pattern lock enabled immediately after leaving an area? Currently what happens is that for it to activate, I have to turn on the phone once first.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Unfortunately, location changes are only registered when the screen is on. For this reason, it is not possible to disable the lock screen before the screen comes on when relying on location as an event.
