Sorry for the confusion. I've verified that the entries are present this time.

You'll note that although secure settings returns USB false afterward an app called "TetheringShortcut" is used to enable tether.

I am a long-time user of Secure Settings - free version.

Today, I decided to buy the pro version for the sake of "package options: data wipe"... and as stated above, it's not working...

Device: SGS3 4G international i9305

ROM: official Samsung 4.1.2 + rooted

Was the issue supposed to be solved in the September update (2 months ago)?

Thanks

I also wanted to pay for the full version, but support is very poor.

[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I haven't seen you include a logcat with debug turned on in secure settings "settings" from when the issue occurred so how exactly is he supposed to debug it? Have you verified whether the screen not turning off occurs on a different rom or it's rom specific...device specific? No i'm not the author but he responded fairly quickly to me even though I goofed up and had debug options still turned off in my logcat. Why does creating a profile have anything to do with turning screen off? What is your screen timeout set to when the error occurs..what other programs like screebl, lux etc that are screen related do you have running at the time of error?

In other words, how badly do you want it fixed because so far all I've seen you do is say "Help me."

---------- Post added at 08:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

Have you enabled the secure settings "helper" in settings or gave secure settings "system app" permissions? I imagine data wipe is going to require system level to be wiping data. He's still goign to need a logcat with debug enabled in settings...you can do that via adb or running a program like alogcat available on f-droid.org (just do a search and you can download the apk directly in the browser).
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
Yes, helper enabled.

I will try to get a logcat.

Hey all on 4.3 stock note 3 pattern lock disable is not working at all, was working fine on my note 2.. known issue or am I doing something wrong?

[MENTION=2528886]intangibleDroid[/MENTION]

Just making sure you saw I posted a new logcat with the entries you wanted plus I had tasker run the tethering shortcut right after so you could see tether was enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] aznxk3vi17:
I've posted on your site and sent you an email, but I figured that I might as well report the issue here as well. None of the phone options appear to be working. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
If you want it fixed you might want to mention things like Device, Android Version/Rom...what "phone options" you tried.....and include a logcat with debug enabled in secure settings....honestly doesn't that sound like common sense?

Airplane Mode

I was wondering if someone can point me to the right thread (if this is already covered) tried searching but didn't find it.

4.2.2 Stock / Rooted / SafeStrap / SGH-i337 GS4

Latest Tasker and Secure Settings.

I have this power saving task that starts at 12am and finishes at 6am.

Turns on AP mode

Screen level 0

Silent Mode

It starts the process at 12am fine, but when it reaches 6am, AP doesn't revert to off even if I set SS to toggle AP in SS, everything else reverts to its previous state.

Thanks

Android 4.4 and GPS

I have upgraded my ROM to 4.4. The tasks that I have set up to switch GPS ON and OFF no longer run. I get the error message "An error occurred while executing Action GPS"

I am using version 4.2m of Tasker and Secure Settings 1.3.3 with Helper v1.2.3

Can anyone help?
[Android Apps and Games] IceTwig:
So been messing around a bit more... it seems that the exit task only restored what was set to toggle

ex..

AP mode Toggle - set back

Power Saver Mode - not set back

GPS Toggle - set back

Sync Toggle - set back

Silent Mode - not set back

Before I had added the Exit task... Tasker setting were set back but not Secure settings...

any ideas?

Thanks!

Kit Kat is not fully supported yet. That's why.
[Android Apps and Games] DAanDASja:
Hi

I just figured out that airplane mode and wifi sleep policy work on 4.4 if you use the helper alternative (grant system app permissions to secure settings) instead of actually installing the helper.

I didn't check the other stuff on the not-working-list posted earlier but some of those might work too with this method.

Cheers

Guys XDA isn't a complaint site. If you have issues with the way the developer works I suggest you bring it up with them through the proper channels and not in the open forum. Also, just throwing this out there but people have lives and don't live to fix bugs at every single persons demand. If you can't wait patiently for a fix you may want to try and write your own app. Otherwise, please keep to the topic ...

App Feedback and Support

I try to read this thread as often as I can. Lately, my day job has been increasingly demanding and have not had time to read through these posts as often. I will ask you all to please email me or submit feedback on the UserVoice page. Combing through pages of posts to find out issues is not an effective way for me to support this app.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Don't worry mate, most of us also have life next to XDA and Android so we understand.
[Android Apps and Games] imsiin:
Ok I fixed it by going into settings and changing pattern unlock method..

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] alpinista82:
WTF? There are people who paid for this software! The problem with input method changer not working in 4.3 has been known to the developer for months. Still no fix for this. Why not make this open source, if there is obviously no ongoing development. That way anybody could contribute and make this a useful piece of software again.
[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
I will disagree with the following explanation. I purchased tasker and all my profiles use SS only since none can be handled by tasker. On the other hand SS is mainly free unless you need the extra features. I didn't need them but purchased just for the purpose I explained above.
[Android Apps and Games] billyx1:
It is not working for me from Tasker.

I moved the secure settings plugin to /system/app, removed the helper and restarted the phone. Now secure settings says "The Helper is not needed".

But activating Airplane mode from Tasker is not working.

CatLog writes the warning: Setting airplane_mode_on has moved from android.provider.Settings.System to android.provider.Settings.Global, returning read-only value.

EDIT: Found it. Must be /system/priv-app instead of /system/app on 4.4 kitkat.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Thats not what he ment,under the helper tab at the bottom there is helper alternative for 4.1 +,select that which will grant the necessary permissions,nothing is installed to /system/app, so install back to /data/app and try the helper alternative

Tapatyping from my nexus
[Android Apps and Games] billyx1:
It now works also with installed to /system/priv-app.

Sorry, I don't like this "helper alternative for 4.1 +" button because it needs busybox I don't have on my system and because it seems to do some magical/undocumented things.

Moving the installed file from /data/app to /system/priv-app is much better!
[Android Apps and Games] Mgamerz:
So you would contribute to the codebase?
[Android Apps and Games] piccit:
If he said yes, would that help make the project open source? Or are you just being a jackal about the whole thing?
[Android Apps and Games] pemell:
There are some mentions about Google access location in this thread and that it might be on the dev's radar. Is it? Or is it any other way to toggle this setting on and off with tasker?

I'm not talking about location access in settings, I'm talking about access location for Google apps.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] alpinista82:
Yeah, sure. But I will only do so if there is a public repository. One could sure decompile with dex2jar and so on...,but I really don't like working on completely uncommented code.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Or you could write your own app if you are not happy with this one. There are three SU choices now. Make a better Secure Settings, instead of demanding that the author of this one change his choices.

S4 pattern lock and 4.3

I used the experimental method to disable the pattern lock on my S4 with 4.3 software. Does it disable the keyguard for others also?

The default method is working fine for me on the S4 with an AOSP Rom.

Beta version 1.3.4b1 Published

See this post for what's been updated.

(Yes, it includes 4.4 fixes)

The update should be available within a few hours.

Edit: Helper Alternative is the only functioning option for Android 4.4. The Helper app does not work and will not work going forward.
[Android Apps and Games] eszol:
I'm using Note 3 with stock rom and things have been pretty normal till the latest SuperSU update. My pattern lock suddenly not working and latest beta also does not help. Tried with all three options but same pattern lock error
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I'm under the impression that the only option that works is SQLite for the Note 3.
[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
Hi, I just want to report that after updating both SS and helper and restarting, almost all options got disabled and I had to reenable them one by one. No big deal, just mentioning it in case you need to know. Helper was detected as outdated over and over again until I restated if that might have caused it.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Thanks for the info. I noticed some weird behavior with that earlier as well.

Also make note that the Helper will not work on 4.4. I discovered this after uploading the new version. I will be disabling installation in the next beta release. The only option for 4.4+ going forward will be the Helper Alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] Yuri_Gr:
This application is very interesting for me.
[Android Apps and Games] aj.guyver:
I have upgraded to pro version and have been using it normally with tasker. but all of the options are gone in tasker except the first four options under "conditions", even though in the setting tab of secure settings, all available options show "enabled". those pre-set profiles using the missing potions seem to run normally. anyone have the same issue? But now I cannot creat new profiles with the missing options. My device is Xperia v, JB 4.1.2. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
Go into SS settings and manually tick each option. They got disabled after recent update. I mentioned it a few posts back
[Android Apps and Games] aj.guyver:
I have ticked all available options, but still cannot find them in tasker. I also tried reinstall secure settings and helper.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
If you aren't seeing the actions, then chances are you are seeing the available "Condition" options.

To get to the actions, create a task, click the "+", select "Plugin" and choose Secure Settings.

If this doesn't help, please let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] reybie:
I broke my pattern lock/unlock after updating supersu and Tasker. Not sure which one did it. I was using the experimental method before, now none of the three options work :(
[Android Apps and Games] aj.guyver:
Thank you very much. I can find the options in creating task, but not for creating profile in tasker. :what::what::what:

When I tried to disable all four options under "conditions", it prompts to remind to enable at least one option while other available options are all enabled. This happens in both Xperia v, and note 8. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] imsiin:
sqlite is not working either. everything was working fine until the supersu update.. on latest beta too

Now that 2g 3g and LTE toggles are embedded in 4.4 settings is it possible to directly switch network mode in secure settings now or in future?

[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I haven't been able to find this toggle. Can you send me a screenshot and let me know what app can do this?

[Android Apps and Games] mitchst2:
It's embedded in GPE settings as per screenshot. Previously only had option for 2g only.

Sent from my HTC O'ne-xus
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
This has always been there. You are seeing LTE because the device now supports it. Unfortunately, the network mode can only be changed by the Phone app. Secure Settings cannot run as the phone process and therefore cannot change this setting. I have spent a lot of time looking into this and haven't found a solution yet.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Android Apps and Games] mitchst2:
4.3 GPE only had option to check or uncheck 2g only.

Sent from my HTC O'ne-xus
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Be that as it may, it doesn't change anything for Secure Settings. The settings window you are seeing runs as the phone process. Without being able to run as the phone process, no other app can change those settings. Am Xposed module could potentially accomplish this.

Hi Guys,

I've been reading thru this thread but I'm not sure what I need to get this work again.

I just upgraded my GS3 to 4.3 and my tasker scripts to unlock my pattern lock while on home wifi isn't working. I get an error while executing action when I try to execute manually

I saw the option to use sqlite and the experimental one but none seem to work.

I am rooted.

secure settings is device admin. Helper is installed and working as GPS comes on when I use maps.

Busy box is working, SuperSU is working.

I think the only thing that is no working for me is pattern unlock.

What I have in tasker is when on my home wifi. pattern lock disabled.

any help is greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] reybie:
[MENTION=2658998]reapur[/MENTION] that's the same issue I'm having, it worked prior to the Tasker and supersu update. The experimental method was working for me, now all three are giving me the same error you are getting.

Use the Helper Alternative, mandatory on 4.4. It really helps to read back a few pages, I think Tapatalk has a reverse gear, though few can find it. :D

Hey intangibleDroid!

Thanks for your amazing tasker plugin!

Is it possible that you include toggle 2G/3G into your plugin? Would be realy nice!
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
It's been on the list for a while but my day job has been demanding more of me lately and I haven't gotten around to it.

Today's release was mainly addressing bugfixes, but I'll hopefully have some time to start looking into new options soon.

Thanks for the input!
[Android Apps and Games] duckredbeard:
I would like to know how to set that up. Can you send me the profile?
[Android Apps and Games] duckredbeard:
More specifically I want key guard patterns to be enabled when a variable value is on.
[Android Apps and Games] duckredbeard:
I think I've got it. Just need to test it for a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] schwenki:
Thank you very much for the plugin.

I use it with locale and I got the following problem:

I can activate only one secure-setting-option for each locale-situation:

- I can only add "Secure Settings" one time to every locale-situation (limitation of locale)

- I can only select one option inside of the "Secure Settings"-plugin. If i press the "Add/Edit"-Button, nothing happens.

How can i activate more the one option in one locale-situation?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
In the "Edit Situation" screen, long-press on the "Add Setting" button and you will see Secure Settings listed again. This will allow you to add another instance to the situation.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] schwenki:
Yes, it helps! Thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] taob:
Yes, I choose to! Now how exactly is that done? :D Tasker locates the plugin fine, and I'm on the Secure Settings screen now. There's an "Add/Edit" tab and a "Help" tab. The dropdown menu only shows the seven standard options. Bringing up the menu only gives me three choices: Help, Don't Save, Save. I've been through all the options and haven't found the magic "install Secure Settings Helper". I see from an earlier post that there should be a ZIP file in /sdcard for a manual install? I don't see that either. I'm out of ideas.

This is on an HP TouchPad running CM7 alpha 3.5... perhaps the Helper is not supported on this platform?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
There should be a Secure Settings app in your launcher's app drawer that will have the options you are looking for.
[Android Apps and Games] akamustang:
On Secure Settings 1.1.3 if you load it up (from app draw) there should be the tabs at the top Settings, Options and Help. On the Settings tab the top four buttons relate to installing/updating/uninstalling the helper.

Swyped from my HTC Sensation
[Android Apps and Games] taob:
Auuuuuuuuggggghhhhhhhh... I knew I missed something painfully obvious! :( Didn't realize it was also an app, not just a Tasker plugin. The install went smoothly and the plugin appears to work flawlessly (switch to Hacker's Keyboard for ConnectBot, switch to Thumb Keyboard 4 for everything else). Brilliant!

I don't drink, but tell me how much a beer costs you these days. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] waylo:
Now that ICS has the face unlock feature, I wonder if securesettings will be updated to turn this on/off? With PIN lock on/off and pattern lock on/off, I would think it would need to be a specific feature as well.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Just did a little bit of digging. It seems that the Android Facelock package is proprietary Google code and not open source. It's not looking too good that it'll be able to be enabled/disabled :/
[Android Apps and Games] waylo:
Thanks for digging. Well, it's certainly a fun gimmicky ICS feature, but I really enjoy my "security unlock when connected to home wifi" Tasker profile, so I'll keep it on pattern lock.
[Android Apps and Games] kyogoku:
hi there, could this plugin be used to "turn on" the device?

turn on as to replace the => power_button_press then unlock keyguard?

i tried the wake function along but it failed in the 1.2 tasker.

thx in advance
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
This plugin has a "Wake Device" option but I'm not sure that's going to accomplish what you're trying for. The wake option will turn the screen on but then requires that you interact with the device. If you don't, the screen will go off immediately after the timer runs out. However, if this works with your use case, you could try creating a task involving this option and the Keyguard option.
