Could u plz gander at my post...at very end of this thread? Would like some advice.
[Android Apps and Games] WastedJoker:
Hello,

I'm currently using securesettings plugin with Tasker to disable pattern lock once connected to my home wifi. With pattern lock turned off it defaults to "Slide to unlock".

Is there a way to set it so that there is no lock screen at all?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidPaul:
I'm on Cyanogenmod 12 (Android 5.0.1) and every time I try to do anything with Secure Settings that requires device admin, it says "device admin disabled". And when I check in the settings, it is disabled. But when I reenable it and try again it disables again.﻿
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Are your Rom Settings for lockscreen > Screen Security set to "none" - it should revert to whatever you have set there.

Secure Settings, along with many apps do have issues with admin and root actions on Lollipop.

I re-created the entire task from a starting position of no lockscreen and it works how I like it now.

Hey.

Want to use SecureSettings to disable patterlock with tasker.

This was working in 4.4.4 but after upgrade my HTC one to GPE 5.0.1 it doesnt work.

When ill set the patterlock methode in SecureSettings to the third option "experimental" it disables the complete lockscreen.

With option 1 there is a toast message "Error Setting patternlock".

Is this a known issue?

thx
[Android Apps and Games] Odysseos_IT:
Yes, it is a known issue in Lollipop. May be Pent has solved this in the next Tasker release, version 4.6. It will be available on the Play Store from Dec. 17th

[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
It's not just lollipop though. Above, myself and others are reporting the same on 4.3 (with no over the air security updates from knox) and a rollback to 1.3.4 of securesettings fixes, are the problems related? On 1.3.5 I tried all 3 unlock setting on both regular pattern unlock and xPattern lock. I tried a completely clean install of 3.5 with no luck. Added and removed the helper (in-built one) and device admin settings.

I'll stick with 3.4 for now but I hope this'll be fixed in 3.6 (maybe an extra or missing ; somewhere in the code)

Yes. I have the latest Secure Settings Pro, The latest Tasker on a Verzion S5 4.4.4 NI rooted and haven't been able to get it to work with Pattern Lock. I was able to get it to work with PIN and with Finger Print. However it was not reliable with fingerprint and would sometimes reset the lock to PIN instead of resetting to fingerprint. I have read and tried everything on the net with no luck. I just removed Tasker and Secure Settings completely and will try again this week end from scratch.
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
It's strange, as it still works on 4.4.x, but these guys are right as already mentioned latest version breaks on 4.3.x and of course doesn't work well on 5.x/Lollipop.

Not sure why 4.4.x keep working...

hi,

great work!

with helper installed i can use gps with tasker, works great.

But i still have to confirm/accept agreement with gps!?

is it possible to bypass this confirmation?

Thanks for help!
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
When you get some time, could you send me an email (use the bug/suggestion option in the app's settings) detailing what was happening when the crash occurred?

Also, if you haven't reported the crash, please do if it happens again.
[Android Apps and Games] teh_lorax:
Based on a quick search of this thread, I didn't find anything about this...

I'd really like to be able to toggle between GSM (2G) and WCDMA (3/4G) on my phone with Tasker. I can't do it with the stock Tmobile ROM for the Galaxy S 2. Any chance you could get that rolled into this app?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I have looked into adding this functionality but have not found a way to support many devices. Have you tried this plugin?
[Android Apps and Games] teh_lorax:
I *saw* it, but assumed that since I'm using a stock ROM, it almost certainly wouldn't work. I guess I could try it. Thanks for the heads up.
[Android Apps and Games] kyogoku:
Hello again.

I've been using your plugin in tasker for executing command and retrieve the result into a variable. my question is, after several trial and error, it seems that the command will not be run unless the screen is on (or awake?),

I'm sure of it because when the screen is on, the pending command will run.

is it really run that way or is it just a bug in my case?

btw, I'm running on CM7.1 Desire S.

thx in advance. :)
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Are you using the "Show Notification" option?

Is it a long running command?

In the meantime, you might want to try using the "Wake Device" option in Secure Settings to turn on the device for a few seconds then kick off the script you're running.
[Android Apps and Games] frenccw:
Great plugin! Works great to disable keyguard since the default Tasker action is flakey at best.

Can you put in an option to disable the low-memory notification? Thanks :P
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:

[Android Apps and Games] teh_lorax:
I seem to be having an issue with Secure Settings/Tasker on my girlfriend's SGS2. When it goes in the car dock, its supposed to unset the PIN. It does, but then it shows the pattern lockscreen, and as soon as she touches that - the phone is unlocked.

Then when exiting the car dock, it resets the PIN. Half the time, that doesn't seem to work and the phone never gets re-locked.

Any ideas or log files or whatever I can provide?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
That seems like odd behavior. I know that the SGS2 has a non-standard lock screen implementation, so that may to blame.

As far as logs are concerned. If you go into the app's settings, you can enable Debug logging. With this enabled, you will see more information in the logcat logs. If you are familiar with collecting a logcat, you can email me the logs once you reproduce the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Malorkus:
Maybe this is a silly or paranoid question, but how secure is the "helper" being installed with root access? Can any non-root app access the same settings Tasker can access if it's smart enough to look for the helper (e.g. enable adb, etc)? To me it's one thing to let apps have root access occasionally and know when they request them, it's another to semi-permanently install something that allows root-like system settings modification, especially if it's available with no user oversight...
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
This is a great question and I will preface this by saying that I looked into securing this plugin as best as I can. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the app-plugin relationship, only so much is possible.

Locale and other apps that follow the Locale spec (Tasker, Setting Profiles, and Llama) are setup in such a way that when they want to communicate with a plugin, all they have to do is send a "broadcast" to the plugin to have them perform the action.

Unfortunately, there is no security between these apps and the plugin. Additionally, there is no way of knowing what app sent the broadcast when the plugin receives it. Any app that wants to send the same broadcast to the plugin can as long as they know what the plugin expects. However, if this request is malformed, it will get denied. Additionally, every time Secure Settings receives a broadcast, it verifies that one of the known (Locale, Tasker, Setting Profiles or Llama) apps are installed. If one isn't installed, it will not honor the request.

Additionally, no requests can be made directly to the Secure Settings Helper. Secure Settings and the Helper share the same signature which is used to lock down the communication between the two applications. Therefore, the Helper will only respond to requests made by Secure Settings.

So, to sum this up: Yes, a rogue app could potentially send a request to Secure Settings but they would have to know exactly how to form the request and would require that an authorized app is installed.

Hope this helps.

Turn charging on/off while hooked to a charger or PC

Turn GooglePlay App auto-updates on/off

Turn Data Roaming on/off while on Wifi

Turn Mobile Data on/off while on Wifi

I'd like to know if the last to options are available for any carrier's Note 3, and not just T-Mobile, (assuming that their options are different).

Hi

Toggling Mobila Data on/off does still not work with Lollipop 5.0.1. Is there any workaround or fix for this? With Power Toggles it does work, so there must be a way to do it with Secure Settings as well ;)

3- Screenshot of Power Saving turned on using Secure Settings, where it is turned on only in toggle ( ui ), but not really enabled (not activated), screen is colored and no power saving icon in notification bar

This is big issue, as this means settings manipulated in secure settings are only activated in ui, and not really activated

Problem with Secure Settings / BT Connection

So I'm trying to create a task to connect to a specific BT device.

When the task starts, my phone is connected to a different BT device, and I had no luck getting Secure Settings to connect to a different device until the first one was disconnected. So my task has a Wait until the first device is disconnected. Then a brief wait, followed by the attempt to connect to the new device.

It never connects on the first attempt. But if I create a loop, and retry the same connect statement, it will eventually connect. Generally on the 3rd or 4th try.

Does Secure Settings return any kind of error message or log that might indicate what's happening on the failed connect attempts?

Thanks.

Hi,

For some weird reason, I cannot toggle GPS using Secure Settings within Tasker Profile or Task.

Whenever I run tasker task (either by hand or by triggering Tasker Profile - for instance, running some map app), Tasker will show profile running, but GPS will not go live.

However, when I go in Tasker > Tasks > GPS On (this is my task name) > Secure Settings Configuration GPS Enabled > Pen Icon > 3dot menu > Test Action, this will trigger gps state to change.

My current config:

Phone: LG G3 D855 32Gb

Tasker 4.61u2

SecureSettings: 1.3.5 Free

So, I have been using this with tasker for a while. It worked mostly good for setting and removing the PIN based on states of wifi or B connection. Recent update of Secure settings provided the samsung Fingerprint lock. I enabled that and it worked Perfectly. Just recently I updated my Galaxy S5 from ND3 to NG3 and re-rooted. I didnt back my data up properly and lost my tasker and secure settings information. I have rebuild this all much cleaner than previously, but now I cannot get Secure settings to Enable/ Disable the Fingerprint locking. Pin locking does work properly.

Anyone else on the ATT version of the S5 that can help?
