I have this very strange issue and I hope someone has solved it otherwise I'll break my head with it.

I use a profile based on app trigger to turn on and off GPS together with location services when an app that needs it starts. For example when I open Facebook or navigation, I see the profile starting and gps is enabled.

The problem I'm having is with a strange app called GotYa which basically is triggered automatically on the background when invalid password/pattern is entered at log-in and takes a photo of intruder and sends in an e-mail with the gps location. The problem here is that when this app is triggered, most probably because it gets triggered in the background, SS doesn't detect it and so gps isn't enabled.

It works with any other app that I manually start.

Any idea please?

I use tasker and secure settings to change input method when I de-attach my s-pen but it doesn't change it. When I look in phone settings and input methods it tells me it has changed but it actually hasn't when trying to type. I'm on Android 4.3 is this an issue?

hey guys i recently upgraded to the HTC one m7 and i ported my existing tasker profiles over and i have one setup which causes pattern lock to be set when i disconnect from my home wifi but when im trying to use it i keep getting an error "an error occoured while executing action pattern lock". I am however able to set a pin/password just cant use pattern and i would like to use pattern only as i have setup the 3 times pattern lock wrong take picture profile in tasker. I have tried removing secure settings and re installing removed the helper and installed it again. I email the secure settings developer but got no reply from them. BTW i have secure settings pro.

Go to the Preferences

Choose "Lock Settings (Experimental)

So far it's working great

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the new update make it so you don't need to install the helper apk. I'm running an s4 on 4.2.2 with device admin enabled. It says system app permission granted, helper not needed. Thaats on the screen that used to install the helper. I assume I'm good to go. I was just curious as to what stem all permission granted means.

[Android Apps and Games] klau1:
I've been looking for a way to use NFC tags to unlock my phone's Pattern Lock for a long time.

Because of the new changes in Android 4.2+ and Samsung's Touch Wiz Lock Screen implementation, neither Tasker's Keyguard nor Secure Setting's Pattern Lock settings work at unlocking the Pattern Lock.

Luckily MohammadAG made an Xposed Plugin that can do exactly that.

The NFC tag can be used to unlock the phone directly from screen off.

Very Good!

No need to install SQL, use experimental mode in Secure Settings.

Check it out at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2478163

It's open source so Hopefully whatever magic there can be used to help other apps that still haven't figured out how to unlock the Pattern Lock screen programatically.

Roaming

I have just setup a Tasker Task to easily toggle Roaming via this App. since I travel overseas, it is nice to have a quick toggle to enable roaming, essentially turning data on/off.

The question I have, is that my Rom seems to be using CM roaming feature;

Roaming Off

National Roaming

All Networks

When I Toggle Roaming via Secure settings, it does not seem to display this change in the UI. Do we know which roaming "type" this is setting it to?

I think I read about installing it manually some time ago but then found some sqlite installer that worked on my razr HD. So I tried the same this time and it didn't work. Unfortunately I don't know how to install it manually. Can you shortly explain? If there is a short explanation, of course.

Yeah I know it didn't work on mine either.

Unzip this file http://www.pliind.com/sqlite3.zip

PIN disable with admin policy workaround?

I've just started playing around with Tasker, and I've been trying to get the "Disable PIN with Home Wi-Fi" thing to work.

Since my company email has Exchange security policies that require a PIN/password, all the standard ways of using Tasker/Secure Settings to disable the PIN don't work, UNLESS I also remove Exchange as a device administrator, which then removes my company email account. Would it be possible to automatically disable/enable my Exchange account using Tasker/Secure Settings to get the PIN to disable? This means I won't have access to my work email/contacts/calendar, but it's not that important for me to have that when I'm at home. Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Get the Secure Settings plugin for Tasker. Look at the Xposed Framework and the module that works around Exchange policy.

Working in a Restricted Profile so that while installed in car's dash I have access to my music without access to email or store (daughter drives car sometimes or friends just sit there playing in Play Music while I'm out of the car--- I think they like All Access) and just using slide unlock. Working on task that detect the tablet is installed in the car, then on ignition on and off events toggle music, wifi, and such, hoping for BT access from restricted profile too one day so I can use it with Torque and SoloStorm.

root access for VPN

Hi,

I tried to add a task in tasker to switch my VPN when I am not at home.

When I choose plugin / secure settings and then VPN as action Superuser always denied root access for secure settings. I do not get a window from Superuser to grant root access.

Other apps do not have any problem with ask / grant root access.

I did find a Tasker plugin that does turn the screen on (called Screen ON plugin). This means it's down to the app, not the phone and that it's fixable :)

setting Nigh Mode of the active Day Dream?

So I am playing around with Tasker and Secure Settings plugin on my Nexus 7 (2013) which I rooted to install the Secure Settings Helper.

What I am trying to achieve is that Day Dreaming to come on whenever power is plugged on, but depending on ambient light or time the Nightmode also be turned on.

I cannot seem to get access to the "Night Mode" setting in the Day Dream application. Setting the Nightmode from the Display Action does not seem to have an effect.

Could Secure Setting helper be extended to turn on/off/toggle the Nigh Mode of the active Day Dream?
