Hi,

Considering "reboot options" (as marked above), my question is:

>>> could "secure settings app" have modified my native system method? <<<

PS.: *EDITED* - I've discovered it's nothing to do with "secure settings app" at all. I went to Oreo's settings and reset my "reboot settings". Thanks for this thread I was able to find the best solution :highfive:

Hi i have a rooted phone which i dont want the user to make any changes in settings, also i want to leave developer options turned on in case the user turn off it and turn off OEM unlock, then i will lose rooting and it will brick. So in your apps which option can i select to protect/prevent/restrict the user make any changes of my desired preset configuration? Please reply.

Well, whatever was updated broke my Tasker task. I've checked all permissions and I'm not sure what's wrong. I'm going to keep checking to see what I missed.

Problem with Device Setting AOD Mode on Galaxy S7

Hi,

since the last update I can't Set the AOD Mode anymore.

If Set the aod_mode to 1 with tasker and it worked great, since the läßt update it doesn't work anymore.

My Galaxy is not rooted.

What can I do?

Kind regards
[Android Apps and Games] dbrits:
This is the same problem I'm having.

Edit:

I uninstalled the Play Store version (v1. 3.6u) and found the apk for v1. 3.6 on the web and installed that. However, when I launched Tasker and went to the task that turns on my Galaxy S8's always on display, the aod_mode option in Secure Settings is no longer available. I get an error that reads "The option you previously selected is no longer available." I then updated to v1. 3.6u but aod_mode is still missing. It worked fine before the update, so I'm baffled.

Edit 2:

After a few restarts, the aod_mode was an available option in the old version (v1.3.6). It's working now, but I won't be able to update to the new version until this issue is addressed by the developer.

Sorry reread last page of thread, not sure how I missed those posts
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
OP here.

To all having issues with the latest update: Please bear with me. I haven't maintained the app in a while and Google was going to remove it due to a single permission that was used.

Rather than let the app be removed, I spent some time trying to get it compatible and clearly broke a bunch of stuff in the process.

I have since made some updates and released a beta and staged rollout. This version should be more functional but likely still buggy. Please opt in if you'd like to test.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Thank you very much for the information. Hiccups or not it's nice to have an update. I should be able to test beta on a spare device running LOS 14.1 and will check the instructions for opting in. Thanks again!

Hey all. Can anyone confirm that control over Samsung's AOD has been removed from the Secure Settings plugin for Tasker (at least for the S10 series of devices)? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and I'd like to use Bx Actions to assign a long press of the Bixby button to toggle on/off AOD when the screen is off.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
You don't need the outdated "Secure Settings".

Install "Tasker Settings".

And use as Task: Dialogue > Custom Settings > System
[Android Apps and Games] pieces of cake:
Where is this Task: Dialogue > Custom Settings > System you speak of? Installed Tasker Settings. Don't see it, so I'm obviously doing it wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Sorry, I have a localized Version of Tasker, my translation was wrong.

This is right. Creating a task:

Settings > Custom Setting:

Select System.

Command is:

"aod_mode_".

Set to 1 to disable, set to 0 to disable AOD.
[Android Apps and Games] pieces of cake:
So set the Value to aod_mode_1 to turn on?
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
"aod_mode" (Typo)

And: Tasker may need permisson via ADB:

Safe to update?

Hello [MENTION=2528886]intangibleDroid[/MENTION] . Gosh, I've been using your app since jellybean days and can't imagine android without it! Thanks.

I saw an updated v1.3.6u2 hit Google Play on Jan 7, 2019.

But the website (http://securesettings.intangibleobject.com/) still shows v1.3.6 from Jan 7, 2015, as the latest.

So I didn't update because I wasn't sure, is this legitimate? Sounds like you are no longer updating the app, is that right? What do you recommend people to do?

aod_mode not working on Galaxy S10

On my S10 aod_mode doesn't work when the state of the AOD changes. I get a toast notification that there was an error. If AOD is on and I set it to 1 or AOD is off and I set it to 0 I don't get an error. But when it's on and I set 0 or it's off and I set 1 I get the error.

Is this a known issue or am I doing sth wrong?

Which android Version do you have? What do you want to do with securesettings?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Could you provide me with a logcat log of the whole process?

First enable Debug in the settings of my app

Download aLogcat

Make sure the GPS task is enabled, then open Maps

Wait a few seconds and then close out of Maps

Open up aLogcat immediately after and use the function to share the log

Please send it to: support [at] intangibleobject dot com
[Android Apps and Games] GTurn:
I sent the log to you
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I looked at the log and it doesn't look like there are any lines from my app in there. Did you enable Debug inside of the Secure Settings app?

If you did enable Debug, it might be an issue with the Helper installation. Please try removing and re-installing the Helper from the main app to see if that makes a difference.

Please let me know if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] GTurn:
I sent another log to you but this one is with the app set as system app. If you want me to I will reverse it and install the helper again.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:

Unfortunately, that dialog is registered with an Observer at the OS level. What this means is that whenever that setting value is changed, that dialog will popup no matter what. I tried pretty hard to get past it but ultimately was unable to do so :/
[Android Apps and Games] rgawenda:
Is there any reason for the *#*# #*#*? I've seen that RCB doesn't need that.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The reason is that this code is a built-in function of Android. Quite a few system apps have secret codes registered like this. Some of them use the codes for enabling debug mode or other things.

Additionally, by using the *#*# #*#*, you don't actually have to hit the dial button or accidentally call someone.

Hope this helps clarify things.
[Android Apps and Games] rgawenda:
It does. Thank you.

I'd rather love plain numbers as they're more stealthy IMHO. Didn't try to use this code style as a contact number. I want to call a host via openvpn+connectbot. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] taob:
Just bought a Galaxy Note a few weeks ago, rooted it, and I'm running the Hybrid ICS ROM on it now. I've run into a couple of issues I haven't been able to solve yet.

In Tasker, Secure Settings appears twice under the Plugins category. Both buttons appear to do exactly the same thing. This is with Tasker 1.2.1u1m and Secure Settings 1.2.1 with the helper installed. Did it always do this before, and I just didn't notice?

I have a trigger that switches keyboards when I open ConnectBot. This used to work fine on my HTC Desire Z running CM7. It appears that most of the settings are now missing. All I get are ADB, Keyguard, Lock Device, and Pattern Lock. All the actions are enabled from the SS Options screen, including Input Method.

I thought perhaps restoring the apps from Titanium Backup was the culprit, so I uninstalled both apps, then reinstalled fresh from the Play store. No difference. What am I missing? Off to see if logcat says anything useful...
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
This is pretty strange behavior. I would try removing both apps and wiping the dalvik cache. Reboot and reinstall them. It seems possible that some old files might be lingering there.

If that doesn't help, enable debug in the settings of the app and let me know if anything sticks out in the logs.
[Android Apps and Games] taob:
Okay, I'll try that next.

Is there something I can grep for? I'm running "logcat -v time *:d" in a shell login from my desktop to the phone, and while there are tons of other things in there, I'm not seeing anything obvious relating to Tasker or Secure Settings.

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

Interesting... I see two apps installed: "Secure Settings 1.2.1" and "Secure Settings Plugin 1.4". Just waiting for the phone to reboot now, and then I'll reinstall Takser and SS.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Oh wow. That's the really old version from before I released it on the market. Get rid of the 1.4 one. That is most likely the cause and would explain a lot.

Also, all Secure Settings logs have a tag that starts with "SecureSettings."
[Android Apps and Games] taob:
Okay, it is working now! Apparently just wiping the Dalvik cache wasn't enough, since I was getting the same behaviour then. I uninstalled Tasker and SS, wiped the Dalvik cache again, then reinstalled from the Play store. I now see the blue-on-dark-grey ICS interface when choosing an action, instead of the old black-on-white Gingerbread interface. Only one "Secure Settings" shows up in the Tasker plugin list too. Yay!

While I'm here... should SS remember and restore settings it has changed? For instance, when I run ConnectBot, I want my IME set to Hacker's Keyboard. But when I leave ConnectBot, I want it to switch back to whatever it was before. SS does not seem to do that, so I've been creating explicit exit actions in Tasker. That's fine most of the time, but it does mean I have to hard-code the keyboard setting, instead of just having it revert to whatever it was before.

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

Yeah, I think the very, very first version I grabbed was from one of your posts to a mailing list somewhere. I didn't know the version numbers had changed, and figured I had simply downloaded a version from the future. :D
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
All of the profiles are stored in Tasker. That being said, the package name changed as well as other things from before I published to the market. So if you had profiles stored in Tasker that referenced the old 1.4 version, you'll have to recreate them.

Just to clarify, delete 1.4 and keep 1.2.1. If Tasker shows an exclamation mark next to a task, chances are that it is referencing the old version and needs to be updated.
[Android Apps and Games] taob:
Yep, thanks for your help. No exclamation marks, no more seeing double in the Plugins list. I only had two tasks to recreate by hand (disabling keyguard while at home, and switching keyboards for ConnectBot), so it wasn't too hard.
[Android Apps and Games] sonnysekhon:
I finally picked up Tasker after 'Delayed Lock' started having issues with the latest AOKP ROM.

I want to disable PIN lock if I'm connected to a known Wifi network and/or connected to a known bluetooth device and/or connected to a power source and/or my headphones are plugged in.

Also, for obvious reasons, if any of these conditions is true, I want the phone to ask for the PIN one time before disabling and do the same if any of the conditions is toggled.

I thought Tasker was savvy enough to accomplish this but I have not been able to get it to work after trying for several hours.

Got Secure Settings and enabled the helper. Both Tasker and SS have device admin rights.

I have looked everywhere and tried various combos including the following but nothing works as expected:

http://tasker.wikidot.com/disable-keyguard-when-at-home

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22075667&postcount=8

If anyone can help curate my insanity, I will be most thankful.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I took the liberty of creating a Tasker project to get you started. All you have to do is download the text file attached to this post, rename it to .xml and import it into Tasker. Once it's imported, you can customize the functionality to suite your needs.

Disclaimer: I have not tested this so it might not work as expected but should serve as an example to help guide you.

The project relies on the use of variables being set so you can change the lock state in multiple ways.

A "HOME" variable gets set when you are connected to your Wifi network. Once associated with the Wifi, the variable gets set to "True". The next time you unlock the device, an event fires that checks if the Home value is true and will unlock your device. I chose to unlock the device this way so that you need to unlock the device once before it actually unlocks. Upon leaving the Home network, it will automatically lock again.

The Unlock status is stored in the variable "UNLOCKED". When this variable changes, the lock status changes immediately. This can be useful when you want to directly unlock or lock the device.

I also added two profiles for Bluetooth and Headset. They work the same as each other and will automatically unlock the device when the event fires.

I added a check in the re-locking logic so that if you are at home, it won't lock the device. You can add other cases as necessary.

Please let me know if you need any additional help or more instructions.
[Android Apps and Games] sonnysekhon:
First of all, you sir have my utmost gratitude for taking the time to do this.

I changed the wifi ssid from the generic mywifi to my home wifi.

After it is triggered, the lock is disabled but fails to come back on when I turn wifi off.

Also, plugging my headphones did not disable the lock.

I am sure it has something to do with me doing it wrong.

Am I supposed to set the PIN under settings/security or set it to 'None' and set the PIN in Secure Settings?

Any guidance will be much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Sorry about that :/ Here is a new project. You can delete the old one and re-import the new one.

To address exiting Wifi:

I added a "Home Set" Profile. Basically, when "HOME" is set to "False" the Locked Task is kicked off.

To address the Headphones Profile:

I had left some extra logic in there by accident. It should work now.

Also, if you want to use BT, you'll have to update the BT device name in that profile.

P.S. - I installed your "ICS Fixer" theme yesterday. It makes everything better. Thanks for the awesome work :D
[Android Apps and Games] sonnysekhon:
Thanks again but unfortunately I just can't get it to work.

Same thing happened again. Wifi kicks on and disables the lock after I enter it once but the lock fails to come back on after I disconnect wifi.

Headphones plugged trigger still didn't work.

Am I supposed to set the PIN in SS under the lock handler task or just set it under settings/security?

Sorry for being so inept and I really do appreciate all your help.

And I am glad you liked my work, you have a PM :)
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I forgot to ask this. Did you open up the "Unlocked Set" profile and set the pin in the Secure Settings "Set Pin" task? It will be the one that says "If Unlocked ~ True".
[Android Apps and Games] sonnysekhon:
I changed the Pin in Set Pin task (Lock Handler) under 'Unlocked Set' but it says "If Unlocked ~ False".

There is another task (Clear Config) which says "If Unlocked ~ True".

Am I supposed to set the lock style in security/settings to None?
[Android Apps and Games] MallCop:
I used the wiki page to set up the GPS to enable for Navigation and Maps using the Secure Settings add on. Whenever I start the Navi I get the error message "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". The GPS works fine and disables when I exit the app, but the next time I enter the app the error message does not pop up. Is this something to be concerned about?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Are you using AOKP by any chance?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
You are correct, it should be set in the task that says "Unlocked ~ False".

You shouldn't have to set the Pin in the Phone Settings. Setting it inside the Task should be enough. Having it set to "None" (I'm assuming you're using ICS) will mean that when you hit the power button, you will be taken directly to your desktop (with the pin disabled). If you use "Slide" then you'll have to bypass the keyguard before going to your desktop.

Back to troubleshooting...

My next suggestion is to create a separate new task that all it does is set the Pin. Maybe there is something else that isn't working...

Steps:

Create a new Task

Click the "+", then Plugin, then Secure Settings

Click Edit then select the "Password/Pin" option

Set the new pin and save

Save the task

With the task window still open, hit the "Play" button in the bottom right corner of the Task Edit window.

Hit the power button twice to turn the screen off and on.

Hopefully you should be at a password prompt. If you are not, please let me know.
