Re: [App][Tasker plugin] Secure Settings - Updated 11/23/12

I don't think that's really in keeping with what this app is for. Sounds more like something to pitch to the developer of AutoRemote, AutoShare etc.

I found a way to circumvent this issue for the Sprint Galaxy Note 2. Not sure if this will work for other carrier versions (though I think it might). Not sure if this could work for the S3, but sometimes different models in the same company may share code even though they can't execute the code (though I doubt it).

Re: [App][Tasker plugin] Secure Settings - Updated 11/23/12

Just throwing out an idea, would using a notification bar replacement succeed as a work around to this issue?

For example, an app called full!Screen has a built in notification replacement.

It seems to take all the notification events on the original notification bar and puts those on its own notification bar.

Keyguard Disable function misbehaving

1) When I set Security/Screen Lock to 'Slide', my phone's keyguard, SS will properly disable the Keyguard via Toggle or Disable. However, the system will randomly/inevitably re-enable Keyguard, even with 'Disable Keyguard' in foreground/notifications.

2) Should I set Security/Screen Lock to 'None', SS will not enable Keyguard.

Hey,

Great plugin!! :good:

An issue I'm having with latest update- I can't install latest Helper.

It always installs helper 1.2.1 which doesn't work with secure settings 1.3.2.

Good thing I have titanium backup so I restored secure settings 1.3.1.

Any idea...?

Thanks a lot mate! :)

Using a root file explorer, please delete the following files if they exist:

/system/app/SecureSettingsHelper.apk

/data/app/com.intangibleobject.securesettings.helper-*.apk (where * is a number)

Then execute the following command using root via a terminal or adb:

Finally, reboot your device and try to re-install the Helper.

Keyboard: I'm not sure this is possible. The keyboards are given specific instructions in code by the foreground app to open as the number pad. I'm not sure if Secure Settings would have any control over that since it is specific to the app that currently has focus.

You don't need to use Secure Settings for that; just use Display/Display Timeout in Tasker. In most roms there's a setting that makes it dim just before timing out, unfortunately you can't change that.

Pattern Lock Disable/Enable - GS3 CarbonROM

At the risk of being flamed, told to search, etc etc. I can't seem to get the pattern disable/enable feature to work with my GS3 using CarbonROM. Before I go any further, can you use Tasker/Secure to disable/enable Pattern with an AOSP based ROM?

If so, what I've done is set my security to None. Create a Tasker Action -> My Wifi with a task Secure Settings > Pattern Lock Disabled. Enable my security (3x3, 4x4 whatever), put my pattern in and then test. I'm on the correct Wifi network but for the life of me Tasker won't disable my pattern lock. I am also NOT requiring an unlock first for disabling (whatever that checkbox is within Secure).

Ok so I'm trying to see if there is a way to work this.

I have a profile for Apps - Google Maps and Google Navigation. The task is to use Secure settings to turn on GPS when the apps is started.

The exit task is to wait 2 minutes and then turn off GPS via Secure Settings.

The issue I have is if I'm in Maps and click on navigate it brings up Navigation. However after 2 minutes the GPS turns off. The same is true if a text message comes up and pops up in front of both apps. Is there any way to keep that from occurring?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:

Enter: GPS On

A1: GPS [ Set:On]

[Android Apps and Games] dseo80:
Thanks for looking into it - the thing is the keyboards never crash if/when switching through the built-in menu (long press). It only crashes when switching using secure settings.

Im not sure - it seems like the previous keyboard does not have sufficient time to close? or close/reopen? not sure!
[Android Apps and Games] SilentSummer:
The GPS option isn't working correctly for apps like Navigation and GPS Status.

For Maps, it turns on and I have it set to turn off when you exit. However if you fire up Navigation first it comes up with the box stating GPS is disabled though you can see it kicking on. I can't seem to find a way around this.

If you are on Maps and click on Navigate it now opens Navigation and immediately closes it and re-opens it losing that information.
