[Android Apps and Games] Pimmr:
Thanks, and call me stupid but.. If I look at the available options listed for Secure Settings when I add a task, it doesn't show any "Screen Dim" for me.... is this some kind of Pro option?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Not on any of my devices. Would you enable "Debug Logging" in the preferences and collect a logcat log of you triggering the task? Catlog can collect logs on 4.2+.

I'm glad that it's working for you! The GPS is probably not showing up because the new beta requires a new Helper version. Go to the main app and check for a Helper update.

It is not a Pro option. If you click the "Wake Type" drop down, you should see 4 options. They are hard-coded and should display for everyone.
[Android Apps and Games] Pimmr:
Thank you! Got it. Will try if it works. Clever method!

EDIT:hmm no luck yet, but if I am looking at my task list, I am also not sure how it should.

So, I want my keyguard to stay unlocked as long as I am at work. What do I need to adjust?
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
What is the profile context for your task? In particular how are you determining when you're at work? If you're using either wifi or GPS then I don't think your current set up is going to work as your profile will trigger then immediately exit.

Also, why toggle the keyguard? It seems to me that what you want is not so much to toggle the setting as to just turn it off so why don't you just set the keyguard to off.

Stopping Google Maps/Nav

I am on the beta with latest helper loaded.

I still cannot get Google Maps to permanently stop/freeze.

Titanium is the only method that works immediantly but obvious it's not automated.

Has anyone been able to do this ?

Have you tried using the "User Disable" option in the Package State setting?
[Android Apps and Games] gchatten:
Yes. Got SuperUser then error about 45 seconds later: An Error Occured while executing package

[Android Apps and Games] Pimmr:
My context is GSM cell nearby combined with NOT connected to my BT carkit. So as soon as BT carkit disconnects and I am within 200m from my office the profile becomes active, and BT, wifi and GPS turns off. I would like to have keyguard switched off also as long as the profile is active.

I am not so experienced and I thought I read somewhere that keyguard set off doesn't work but toggle does so that's why I chose toggle.

What do you recommend ?

Thanks for your reply!

Strange... Bitdefender is showing a malware warning when trying to view the changlog...
[Android Apps and Games] jr67:
Did you test it on your device? Not saying it will definitely work for you but I'm able to set keyguard off/on with no issues.

As far as your profile, what exactly doesn't work? It's not triggering? It goes active but the task doesn't run? If you don't know run a log to find out. Never used cell near myself but my guess is that's probably the source of the problem. For more help go to this thread:

Hi, thanks for your reply. The problem is not that the profile is not triggered, I am using it for quite a while now and actually it works great, I just wanted to add the task to disable keyguard.

I have now changed Toggle keyguard to Keyguard off, see if that works.

Edit: confirmed working! Thanks a lot for your guidance.

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

Anyone else have their keygaurd renable every time lock-screen weather widget updates? I have it set to 'off' via a Locale condition. Whenever the stock weather widget updates it gets re-enabled regardless of Locale cindition.

Do I need to remove weather, or anyone know of a workaround?

Any chance of adding VPN toggles?

I would like to enable VPN if I'm connected to public wifi for example.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Since this option is not part of the AOSP code, it will be unlikely that I'll be able to add support for it. Additionally, I don't have a GS3 to test with either.

The Keyguard will get enabled whenever a notification is clicked. This is a limitation of the feature ever since ICS. I'm still looking into a better solution.

Does it work when you have it set for more than 30 seconds?

I'm still looking into adding this functionality. No promises yet :D
[Android Apps and Games] coolfranz:
Tried it with 50s and it seems to work... tried it on Nexus 7 (same as logcat) - screen timeout (Android Settings) was still 5min.

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

I have the location services working in stock rooted JB on galaxy s3.

Just don't use toggle. It doesn't work need to select on or off.

With ON you get an agree/disagree box but off sends no interaction.

I'd love to know if there is a variable written that I can call when this gets turned on/off?

I ran slot and it just shows secure settings completing the action but doesn't give a variable.

I'd like to create an icon that changes depending on whether location services are turned on/off

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

My choices are use Verizon location services

Use Google services

The only 2 I care about or use are GPS/google.

Together They handle everything i need.

Using location services is covered by my comments earlier.
[Android Apps and Games] ironhead65:
If there is a better place to put feature suggestions, please let me know, but I would like to suggest being able to turn on / off T-Mobile WIFI calling.

How about something to do with controlling a keyboard, such as when I open a keyboard, I have it go to NUMBER only. That is, the number part that looks like a DTMF keyboard. I like to use it for entering in information after I fill up my car with gas, so to have Tasker be able to set that would be great!

--Ironhead
[Android Apps and Games] JVogler:
Thanks for the clarification, I was way off thinking it was related to the weather widget.

If I could figure out how to set up an action in Tasker (I'm using Locale now, and am not that familiar with Tasker, although I own it) to run a 'disable/enable' command every minute, would this be a solution...or might I run into troubles with this approach? I'm not worried about battery drain, as I already run GPS all day to reatain a lock 100% of the time, with the screen on at least 6-7 hours, and still get home with over 60% left...so I don't think running a quick command every minute would make any noticeable difference.

Appreciate the help.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The Wake Device option doesn't change the system's Display Timeout setting. It is used primarily to keep your lock screen on for a certain period of time. If you have unlocked your device, then the system screen timeout will take effect if it is set to longer than the Wake Device timeout. If you want to change the Display Timeout setting, I believe Tasker can do this (which could be used in conjunction with this option in Secure Settings).
[Android Apps and Games] coolfranz:
AW: [App][Tasker plugin] Secure Settings - Updated 11/23/12

I dont want to change the screen timeout... Secure Settings should turn on the screen when triggered and should turn it of after 5s!

But no matter what setting I use the Display goes on and stays on for 30s.

[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
If the screen timeout is more than 5 seconds, then it will not automatically turn off the screen. I can look into coupling this option with the "Lock Device" option which would turn the screen off after the timer has elapsed.
[Android Apps and Games] coolfranz:
Out of curiosity... what does the "Duration" option in "Wake Device Option do?

Ok, that would be nice (especially as others also posted in this thread having the same "problem").
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The duration is used to keep the device awake for a certain period of time. It's only really useful if the device's display settings are less than the time you want to keep the device awake for. It can be particularly useful for keeping the device's screen on while it's locked and on the lock screen.

Under the covers, the duration tells Secure Settings how long to keep the "Wake Lock" for. It starts a timer with that duration and when it elapses, it releases the "Wake Lock" which would cause the device's screen to go off if the screen timeout has already elapsed.

[Android Apps and Games] AlkaDragos:
You first need to set Keyguard to Disabled (Check Run in background) and after that Wake Device so that phone will wake up with screen unlocked. After you finished your task put a Wait action of 'X' seconds so that your device will know how many seconds will wait untill you want your screen off and set Keyguard to Enabled and Lock Device. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] landstander:
@intangibleDroid

Would it be possible for you to drop a backup script into /system/addon.d when installing the helper app? This would prevent it from being lost when a ROM update is flashed, at least for CyanogenMod and its derivatives (I believe some others use the same method as well).

I can provide a working version if you like... it's essentially just the CyanogenMod demo script with a one-line change.

Clicking notifications seems to re enable the keyguard.
[Android Apps and Games] landstander:
For the meantime, I've attached the script I'm currently using... it should work on CyanogenMod 9 and later, along with its derivitives and any other ROMs which share the same backup/restore scheme. Just drop it (after unzipping) into the /system/addon.d directory using a root-enabled file manager (such as Root Explorer), set the owner / group to root:root, and permissions to 755 (rwxr-xr-x).

I might try to create a flashable zip to handle the above steps over the weekend. It seems straightforward enough, but I haven't done this before and don't have time to experiment with it at present.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Well, same as with the other back script I had, it doesn't seem to work. the script is actually gone after the upgrade, and of course the helper was not installed. I guess it's something with this rom's install/upgrade process...or, I am just doing it completely wrong somehow, although I can't see how :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] landstander:
That's really weird. :confused: You wouldn't happen to be formatting /system before flashing the zip, would you? That's the only thing I can think of offhand which would explain this behaviour, assuming a CyanogenMod (or derivitive) ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
no, just cache/dalvik... yeah, it defies logic, esp since the script is removed somewhere along the process - but that's the same behavior I saw with the wallet backup script as well. It's task's AOKP 4.2.1, which by all references should be compatible, or at least I thought. I'll look at the install scripts to see if anything looks out of the ordinary

It's not a big problem, takes only seconds to install the helper again, when I can remember to haha...

Hello!

I'm on a 4.2 rom and as we all know, 4.2 does not allow for the toggling of 2G vs 3G/4G.

I'm trying to set up Tasker in such a way that when connected to wifi, it reverts to 2g and when not connected to wifi, it switches to 3G/4G (or even just 3G).

SecureSettings doesn't have this functionality, does it? I can't find a toggle for 2G on.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
As of now, I don't have a solution to this issue. HTC has changed the way that the lock screen settings are persisted and they are not accessible by the same way that I've been using for other 4.2 devices.

Thank you, I'm looking into writing an installer for this.

Could you try going to the "Options" tab inside the app and expanding "Conditions" and unchecking "Outgoing Call." Please let me know if this fixes the issue.

Power Saver is only available on certain device/roms. Unfortunately, it is not on any of the devices that I own. Because of this, it's unlikely that I will be able to implement this.

Have you tried the "Persist Helper" option in the preferences screen? It will allow you to automatically install the Helper on boot if it's missing. It will use a cached copy if it exists too.

Secure Settings does not currently support this option. You might have luck with this plugin.

Is there a way to simply disable the Lock Screen (whatever type it maybe set to) ?

NFC Launcher seems to be capable of disabling the Lock Screen (in my case, face unlock)

But in Secure Settings, there is no generic setting called "Lock Screen" just Pin Unlock which doesn't apply.

Is it "Enable or Disable the Keyguard"? There's been a lot of confusion about what this function does, from what I've read on forums.

Hi intangibleDroid,

Here is a suggestion for a new "condition" for Secure Settings:

It would be great to catch hardware keyboard key-presses as "events" in Tasker. With all those Android set-top boxes popping, it would be very useful to use the keyboard to run custom application shortcuts, send intents, make all those application specific, etc.

Could this even be possible in Android ?

Best regards!
