This app is really great there is only one feature I would like to see for ROMs like cyanogenmod is the option to change the profile (I am not talking about user profiles) I'm talking about cyanogenmod profiles

Thanks a lot

How do I do an in app purchase with a Gmail account that is different than the one I installed secure settings with? Or how do I change the account that is associated with secure settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Muuhmann:
Hi,

I just updated. As always a wonderful and very handy app!

I hoped that would've implemented the "disable sim pin" functionality by now.. But unfortunately not.. That's the only thing I'm missing with your app..

I bought the pro version though :) you've earned it..

If I can help you in any way, because for example you don't have a phone that uses a sim card, please let me know.. I would love to help out!
[Android Apps and Games] gonzlobo:
Greetings,

I run cm10 nightlies. Part of my routine is to wipe cache/dalvik/system, then reinstall rom/gapps.

I then use Tasker to copy Secure settingsHelper.apk from my Download directory to /system/apps (using root). For some reason android changes my permissions from 644 to 000. If I open Secure Settings, it tells me helper isn't installed, but I know it is, in fact, installed.

Is it because my permissions are hosed, or should I reinstall helper via another method?
[Android Apps and Games] nanobrain:
I finally got it to work after first removing the SecureSettingsHelper.apk with Root Explorer, then

su
pm uninstall com.intangibleobject.securesettings.helper

Then uninstalling Secure Settings (probably not necessary), then reboot, then re-install Secure Settings, the Helper install from within Secure Settings, then Profit...

Mobile Data and plain Reboot are still not working with "Error occurred while running action:..."
[Android Apps and Games] MrPendulum:
Thank you sir. Instantly in-app purchased, even if the new functionality doesn't offer me much currently.

I have found an odd little quirk that I will mention. I don't believe it is anything you could fix as it appears to be intended Android behaviour, but I'll leave it here in case anyone ever searches through the thread.

As I mentioned a few pages back, I use tasker + secure settings in order to disable the pin-to-unlock when I am on my home WIFI network. After your App/plugin was updated I recreated my profiles and ran it, which put me in a position of my pin no longer working and locking me out of my Galaxy Nexus (this may be a bug with Secure Settings, but please keep reading).

After launching recovery (TWRP) I discovered how disturbingly easy it is to bypass a lockscreen on an unlocked Android devices (remove 1-4 specific files from /data/system). Which prompted me to encrypt my Android once again to help mitigate the risk of data leaks if my device was stolen.

Aftewards I played with Tasker/Secure Settings some more and saw the same results again... though on a whim tried leaving the pin blank and just pressing enter, which worked.

I investigated some more, and discovered something which I did not know before: that after encrypting a device, the only available unlock options are pin and password.

This leads to some quite quirky behaviour. The pin becomes blank when Secure Settings tries to disable it. And this seems to be unpredictable...even when not triggered.

Any thoughts? As I said, I'm rather sure this is higher level than could be easily fixed.

Hi intangible,

Bought pro, so long time using secure settings. I gonna find some new task to play with new features. Seems I gonna have some funny time. Thks dude
[Android Apps and Games] chareos12:
What about a 2G only/2G+3G switch?
[Android Apps and Games] phanmo:
Same here! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I don't believe you can disable the password requirement of you're using device encryption. I'll look into it more when I get the time.

I looked into this a while back and discovered than only apps that run as the phone process can touch that setting. So, it doesn't look like it's going to happen :/
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
You guys are awesome. Thanks for the support :)
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Hey, Corey. I bought via PayPal Friday evening and haven't received my code yet. I know you've been busy but thought I'd ask and see if you'd be taking care of it in the next day or two. I'm not in a rush, just didn't want it to get lost in the crush of new orders :)
[Android Apps and Games] the_mentor:
Thanks for the info I'll give it a go still it would be cool if it could do it all in one app

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I'll consider it :)

Is anybody else having problems with pattern lock disabling not working anymore? I'm on CM10 and it seems like this newest update has made this feature not work anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I'm using CM10 as well and it's working for me. Can you try checking the "Pattern Lock [4.1+]" option in the Secure Settings preferences. Let me know if flipping that setting makes a difference.
[Android Apps and Games] gotbeer:
That seems to have fixed it. Thanks.

reboot bootloader not work with galaxy S3

got only simple reboot with it

same with desktop shortcut or tasker
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Are you running a stock rom? What android version is it? Also, are you familiar with ADB?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Thanks for the support :D
[Android Apps and Games] jimi27:
thanks for reply.

i am on XXELK4 (Last leaked firmware).

adb cannot do the job too, but i know that is possible, because i found one app that can do the job ( Reboot Widget, by jakar )

and just discover another thing not work :

"Locale/english" and "Locale/French" , i got :

"an error occured...... "
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The reboot methods that I'm using leverage built-in system methods. If your device has firmware that has deviated significantly from the AOSP code, then there will likely be issues. The reboot widget works because it is using shell commands instead of the native system code to reboot the device. The downside to the shell commands is that you don't get a proper shutdown (disabling the radios and shutting down services cleanly).

As for the Locale switch, did this work for you in previous versions of Secure Settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Suntzupa:
That's the reason I grabbed your Pro version. I've been using Tasker and the !reboot command but sometimes some of my apps get corrupted after the boot as it is not a clean shutdown.

I'm still hoping that you can find a fix or workaround for your clean reboot feature. :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I'm looking into a solution.

[Android Apps and Games] jimi27:
ok, i understand difference between clean reboot and hard reboot.

just a thing, on s3 there is no bootloader but download mode (also called odin mode, and i can see "odin mode" written at top windows in this mode, samsung modified it a bit i think, but i am not expert for explain difference between theses 2 modes... )

reboot widget purpose download and bootloader, and bootloader not work.

for locale languages, that worked perfect with my precedent phone, galaxy ace with cm7.

and that is very usefull for me, because im french and that is more easy for me for apply some settings or tricks i read on this forum in english obviously

( and then sorry for bad english from a frenchy :) )

edit: reboot normal and reboot recovery works perfect for me.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Can you tell me if executing

su
reboot download

in adb or in a terminal will get you into download/ODIN mode?
[Android Apps and Games] maghig:
Licensing through an in store purchases is kind of bad form. I haven't tried it yet, but I trust a titanium backup retains license? I don't mind yearly/monthly upgrade fees, but flashing roms frequently could add up.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
It's a managed purchase that is tied to your Google account. If you switch roms, wipe your device, etc, it will download again when you install Secure Settings.
[Android Apps and Games] jimi27:
yesss ! in a terminal:

su

reboot download

i go in odin mode ( i was so surprise, lol )
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Ok, great. I should be able to include download mode as an option in my next release. Thanks for testing that for me.
[Android Apps and Games] maghig:
Good to know. I've been burned by another developer who didn't tie them together, so I had to re-license after a new flash. Might want to state explicitly in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
That's awful... I will definitely add a note to make it more clear.

What does google now shortcut do?
[Android Apps and Games] scutworker:
Been using this for ages, glad there is now a Pro version so I can contribute. Nice one.

Is there anyway to switch the phone to use 2G only? Then back to 3G? Would be nice to have this feature....

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
This feature allows you to use the "swipe home button" action as a condition on Android 4.1+. Essentially, you swipe up, and instead of picking Google Now, you pick Secure Settings. This will then make a condition active briefly. If you have a profile setup to handle this, you can execute a task. An example would be to show a list of Tasker actions in a menu list which could allow you to execute any number of tasks quickly. The other use for this is to add other conditions to the profile. This way you could use the home button for different actions when in different contexts. For example, adding an app to the context would allow you to use different actions based on what app you currently have open.

I spent a good amount of time trying to implement this and was unsuccessful. This setting can only be set by the phone process and root access does not give any app access to this process.
[Android Apps and Games] scutworker:
Oh well, thanks for trying anyway. I currently use an app to do this, but hoped to reduce the number of apps on my phone (HTC Desire has a small memory).

Cheers.

I keep getting an error with package options -- clear cache. Says an error occurred while executing
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
What app? Have you had any success with this feature with other apps?
[Android Apps and Games] wngmv:
Bought the pro key even though I haven't rooted my phone yet. I used this app extensively with Tasker on my GNex so I knew I would gladly pay for it.

Now the Google Now shortcut seems like a semi circle. I wonder if they are going to update it to include other actions. That would be better. I'm thinking of read singing it to lock the phone when I finally get around to root my N4. On the other hand, does the icon on Google Now action change as well? Right now its the search icon.
[Android Apps and Games] killian32:
I'm using packer manager to disable/enabled some apps (Facebook and stuff like that). With the new version I'm able to disable and re-enable apps (using user disable). I have to restart launcher in order to not see/see them in my drawer. Once I have disable an app it seems that it's still running (with BBS the App is still creating wakelocks). Is there a way to kill to app once disabled or reboot is the solution ?
[Android Apps and Games] dipole:
Reddit sync, xda premium, reddit in pictures and chrome. I have a task to clear cache prior to running rsync to my server.....
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The Google Now icon changes if you have multiple apps that respond to the "Assist" intent action. Since Secure Settings has an activity that can respond to this, you will see the search icon. If you choose to make either app the default, it will change the icon to the Google Now or Secure Settings icons.

What launcher are you using? All the launchers I've tested with haven't had any issue with showing and hiding disabled apps.

If you have using Secure Settings Pro, there is an option to "Force Close" an app inside the "Package Options" option. If you don't have Pro, you can request a free trial to see if this works from inside the app.

Can you rephrase your answer. I can't discern whether you're saying they are all broken or if you had success with any of them. Also, what version of Android are you running? I recently discovered an issue with the Clear Cache option on 4.2+.
[Android Apps and Games] dipole:
Sorry, I have only tried those apps and those apps have failed. I am using stock JB 4.2 on a GNex.
[Android Apps and Games] killian32:
Nova and I'm on 4.0.3 on a Galaxy S2.

Yes I'd like to try Pro. How can I request it ?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I use Nova Prime on my Galaxy Nexus and it's never had trouble with this. I'll see if I can reproduce this.

As for the Pro Trial, all you have to do is this:

Launch Secure Settings

Click the "Secure Settings Pro" list item at the bottom of the first tab

Click the menu button

Click "Request Pro Trial"

Enter your email address and click Submit

Secret Code issue !!

Despite of uninstalling and installing SS and enabling and disabling device administration, Secret Code still doesn't work on my GS3!

The secret code is in the format of *#*#1234567#*#*. And upon entering the code in the phone dialer, the code should disappear (with no need to hit the dial out icon) and then the tasks associated with it would be executed. I believe this STRANGE format is based somehow on this:

http://www.shaanhaider.com/2011/04/secret-codes-for-android-phones.html

But none of these codes work on my unlocked S3. Maybe that is why SS Secret Code doesn't work at all on my phone as well.

And instead, my S3 can take USSD codes in the format of *#1234567#. A list of these USSD codes can be found here:

http://possibleandroid.com/showthread.php?p=5982

So, my question is, in order to make SS Secret Code work, MAYBE a 2nd format should be added, i.e. to include *# # in addition to *#*# *#*#? Maybe different phones are programmed to take different code formats?

Just hoping to resolve this issue as I really would like to make secret code work!
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
If no secret codes work for your device, then it's unlikely that the feature in Secure Settings will work. This feature relies on the built-in system functionality to work. It is also because of this that I am unable to change the format of the secret code.

As for USSD codes, they are on the To Do list.

If you are interested, there is also the option to use Outgoing calls as conditions. This will allow you to type any number into the dialer as a condition. If you are rooted and have the Pro license, you can end the call as soon as you hit dial so it won't go through.
[Android Apps and Games] moviejimmy:
This sounds like a good alternative. Let me try it. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] killian32:
I'm using Secure Settings on 2 phone and 1 tablet. If I buy "pro", have I to purchase just 1 time or for all of my device ?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The purchase is tied to your Google account. If you are logged in with the same primary account on each device, it will be available on as many devices as you own. Or if you'd prefer, I offer licenses through PayPal that you can easily import on each device.
[Android Apps and Games] NZ_Nitro:
Well I use secure settings with Tasker tied to my location ie when i'm at home its just a swipe to unlock but when I'm at work or elsewhere its a pattern lock, it's been working fine until a recent update now just comes up with an error has occurred and does not seem to send an error report, pattern is set via gotya app
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
What Android version are you running?
[Android Apps and Games] wngmv:
Thanks . Guess thatll do for now. Will root eventually for full functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
If you don't want to use the Secure Settings Google Now shortcut, it can be disabled if you uncheck the "Google Now Shortcut" option in the option list inside the main activity. After that, it will not show up as an option.
[Android Apps and Games] bluenavi:
I am getting "Error occurred while running action: Mobile Data" with the latest update (fixed version I believe)

The actual task (turning mobile data on/ off) is executed only half the time...
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I've had a few people report this. I believe it's a false positive. Can you confirm that it's in fact not setting the mobile data state. If so, would you be able to provide a logcat log?

Change Keyboard?

Hi

Say, is it also possible to change the input method with this app/plug in?

I'd like to turn off/on External Keyboard Helper, depending on the state of Bluetooth (on/off).

Possible?

Thanks,

Alexander
[Android Apps and Games] Live4Racing:
Same here with the new version. The state change when i screen on the phone, not automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Can you elaborate on this? I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking for.

If you are rooted with the Secure Settings Helper installed, this is possible. All you have to do is make a Profile based on the variable state of Bluetooth (%BLUE ~ on) and use Secure Settings Input Method Action to set the specified keyboard enabled/disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] alexs77:
Secure Settings Input Method Action?

Hi

Hm, where is this action? I don't see it and, yes, I am rooted. Please check out these two Screenshots: http://imgur.com/gm9QY and http://imgur.com/a0Oqr

Thanks again,

Alexander
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Open up the main app (from the launcher), go to the Helper tab and install the Helper. Once you have it installed, the Input Method option will be automatically enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] alexs77:
Oh, excellent, there it is now ;)

Thanks for the hand holding *g*

[Android Apps and Games] Satch09:
I'm running a custom Sammy rom (ARHD16.0) 4.1.2 on a gt9300 and have the paid version, I just want to report a small bug. When I fire a tasker task for whenever I connect my phone to a pc while data is on that secure settings switches usb tether on.

The action performs perfectly (congrats on this because it's simplified a messy tasker task to accomplish this in the past) but I get a toast saying that there was an error performing the action. But it works perfectly so I'm not complaining, just mentioning. :)

Also since the pro licence is an in app purchase, does it automatically update when one is released or would another key have to be purchased for the update?

Otherwise, is app is rock solid but please I would really appreciate a "make coffee" action because that's the only thing missing... Really... :p lol
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Thanks for the report. I'll definitely look into this.

As for the Pro license, it gets downloaded automatically whenever you first launch Secure Settings after a fresh install. The only caveat is that the account that you purchases the license with must be the default account for whatever device you install it on. Also, Titanium Backups of Secure Settings will preserve the purchase as long as your Device ID doesn't change.

Lastly, I'm really close to getting the "Make Coffee" action working :p
[Android Apps and Games] Satch09:
So would I have to purchase a new license when a new update is out?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The license you purchased is yours to keep. You will not have to purchase another one. If for some reason it doesn't download automatically, then wiping the Secure Settings data and launching the app again will cause the app to try downloading the license again from Google.
[Android Apps and Games] Satch09:
I see, that's awesome! Sorry for the stupid question its just because I was wondering your reason for the in app purchase. Harder to hack? That's my last question :)

Thanx again!
[Android Apps and Games] M4jQ:
i have the same issue. usually its change state but sometimes not.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The main reason was that I felt people wouldn't want to have yet another Secure Settings app to install. Between the main app and the Helper, a third app would be overkill in my mind.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Would you be able to keep track of when it changes and when it doesn't? Ex: Does it usually work when enabling vs disabling, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] M4jQ:
not really. it's random. sorry but I found that the standard action of Llama works so i stick with it.

thx 4 great work :)

Can one explain to me why the setting wont work?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Have you enabled Expanded Desktop mode yet? The setting needs to be set once before it shows up as compatible.
[Android Apps and Games] android addicts:
I use Tasker and I need to enable GPS every 2 hours for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes left GPS automatically turn off. So that i use Secure settings plug-in. I added enable GPS every 120 minutes and disable every 125 minutes with the help of Secure settings plug-in. This profile work, but after GPS disable instantly again GPS on. Why is that? How do i disable it in 125 minutes?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Does the helper app replace any system files? Just wondered if it would tend to block an OTA?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Nope. It only adds/removes the /system/app/SecureSettingsHelper.apk file.
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Im on 4.2.1 with a galaxy nexus. I've installed the latest secure settings app and helper and helper tests ok.

When I try to toggle airplane mode from tasker, tasker fails and it suggests that I install the secure settings tasker plugin. Is this an additional install?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
You have to access it by clicking the following instead of the built in Tasker action:

Plugin > Secure Settings > Edit. Then select Airplane Mode from the list.
[Android Apps and Games] NCguy:
Works like a champ now :) thanks.

Now to get screen filter to work. It was also broken by 4.2. Familiar with it? Considering making it a system app also?

Thank you so much for adding the option to Disable HW Overlays. It's needed for the JB ROMs on my phone. Now I don't have to dig into Dev Options every time my phone reboots.
[Android Apps and Games] OOMatter:
Sorry for not responding sooner, I'm a bit busy with my finals. What I was talking about was having secure settings or some helper app act like an Input Method (keyboard) so Tasker could do things like cut and paste in text fields. Lastpass does it and unless I'm missing something all Tasker has is the "Input>>Type" action which is slow and limited.

Does that clear up what I was asking before?
