Unfortunately toggling incoming sip calls doesn't actually enable or disable (register/unregister) with the sip server. Manually putting a checkmark does work however. Could this problem be addressed? I'm using Android 4.3.
[Android Apps and Games] Epikarus:
Hi guys~

Just wondering if there is a way to backup the helper alternative via addon.d script. Im running CM11 so I'm just wondering how to backup/restore the helper alternative after a ROM flash. The addon.d script posted here is for the helper system app and since I have to use the helper alternative in kitkat the addon.d script posted before wont help me.

what files are installed or modified with the helper alternative? if i know that i think i can create my own addon.d script. Any information would be helpful thanks~
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The Helper Alternative isn't another app. It is a script that is run that grants Secure Settings system app permissions. There are no files created, nothing removed, therefore nothing to backup.

Location services question

Hi

Is there a way to allow some of the location services, I would like to be able to turn WIFI based location services on/off

they use a lot of battery on my phone.

/Henrik Schack
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Not with SS AFAIK. But there are differents other ways to achieve this, my favorite is AutoLocation, easy to setup and battery friendly.
[Android Apps and Games] schack:
I don't think that would work for me, I was thinking about using Tasker to enable/disable WIFI based location settings, ie screen on = wifi based location settings on, screen off = wifi based location settings off.

Then my phone don't get drained over night by the wifi based location settings. ( I think )

/Henrik Schack
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Why wouldn't it work? AutoLoaction is a Tasker plugin, you can combine it with whatever you want. Screen on, Sun down, time based etc.

I use it just like you described, WiFi is switched on by Tasker when I enter a geolocation set in the plugin example within a radius of 50 mtr around my house, work and a few other location I have set where I use WiFi. WiFi is switched off when I leave that geolocation set in AutoLocation.

EDIT: I think I now understand what you are trying todo, switch location services on/off based on wifi status. If thats what you are looking for that's easy to do with Secure Settings.
[Android Apps and Games] schack:
I'm not really trying to make anything location based, I just want to keep me phone from using up my battery on location based services while it's on my table with the screen off. (and connected to my wifi), those wifi based location services generates a huge amount of wakelocks.

Have a look at Better WiFi On/Off. Might be useful for this case.

Disable Pin - difference on rooted / unrooted device?

Hi,

I'm using Secure Settings in conjunction with Macrodroid - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1694335, on a rooted 4.1.1 tablet (Sumvision Cyclone - budget RK3066 device) and an unrooted Moto G phone on 4.3. Both are stock firmware (pretty much vanilla Android).

On both devices I have macros set up that disable Pin Lock when connected to my home wife, and enable Pin Lock on disconnect from home wifi.

Each shows a different quirk.

On the tablet when Pin is disabled the lockscreen reverts to slide (and shows as Slide in Settings), when enabled the lockscreen when first woken up shows the Slide lockscreen, but sliding then brings up the Pin lockscreen. Subsequent wake-ups go straight to the Pin lockscreen. A bit annoying, but I can live with that.

On the phone, when Pin is disabled, the lockscreen stays on the Pin lockscreen (and still shows as Pin in settings) but I just need to press the enter button to unlock. Again annoying, and for some reason I can't quite bring myself to live with this, probably because it confused the hell out of me initially. I thought I'd locked myself out of the phone and used Android Device Manager to remotely reset the password twice before it clicked that the Pin was blank and I could just press enter. Enabling Pin works fine.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or suggestions to fix? I'm not planning on rooting the phone anytime soon.

Thanks in advance!

Pattern lock on Note 3

I have a similar problem. I just traded my GS3 for a Note 3 and my previously working script to disable pattern lock no longer works.

It looks like it's working but it's not actually doing so.

It is set to require the screen to be unlocked again before it disables pattern lock. When I lock and unlock it says it is acquiring System Admin permissions and appears to work, but if I hit the power button or close the case then it still asks for the unlock pattern.

Lock Pattern and Samsung Note 3

I thought I'd post this information here in case it helps someone...

Until recently I used a Samsung GS3 (rooted) with many Tasker profiles one of which detects my home WIFI or my car Bluetooth handsfree and disables the lock pattern. I now have a Samsung Note 3 (also rooted) and the Tasker scripts to disable the lock pattern no longer work. Or rather, that was the case until I just discovered the answer.

Here's what I did to get it to work...

Disable the Secure Settings Helper and choose the option to function as a System App

In the Secure Settings settings panel change the Pattern Lock Method [4.1+] from the default to Lock Settings (Experimental!)

This then worked fine. However there is something else noteworthy...

On the Note 3 pressing the power button always locks regardless of this Secure Settings option. However if you have the smart Samsung case then closing the case turns the screen off but the Secure Settings pattern lock continues to work fine and opening the case again it will still be without using the pattern lock (normally the pattern lock would be required again). Also letting the screen time out in order to lock still leaves the Secure Settings pattern lock working fine. So if you press the power button then you may be fooled into thinking that the Secure Settings pattern lock mechanism is not working when actually it is.

I think there is a Samsung setting somewhere where you can decide whether the power key locks or just turns the screen off, but currently I can't find that setting.

Hope this helps someone.

Regards

Steve

I am using tasker and secure settings to wake up the device with proximity sensor.

while using this profile the device stops to go sleep after a short period itself. I should press power button to go sleep.

Are there any bug for this issue?

Haven't found something in the search, so I'm asking:

Does anybody know if disabling the keyguard still works on KitKat? Ever since I got my Nexus 5 and updated my Nexus 7 (LTE) to KitKat (both devices on Stock), disabling the keyguard doesn't work anymore. I get the "Keyguard disabled" icon in the notification bar, but I still get asked to enter the PIN (I can't change it to something less due to a installed client certificate). But even after removing this certificate and removing all Exchange related accounts I'm not able to disable the keyguard.

Hi, I tried to setup Tasker to automatically turn on GPS on my Galaxy S2 (I9100) - JB 4.1.2 but it doesn't work.

I am currently using Tasker 4.2u3 with these additional apps :

BusyBox v1.22.1-Stericson

Secure Settings v1.3.3

Secure Settings Helper + Helper Alternative

In Tasker, I create a Task to set Misc > GPS to On.

However, when I run the task manually, the GPS status in taskbar is still Off.

Is it possible to turn on GPS automatically using tasker?

Many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi,

In my XT910 stock 4.1.2, tasker works with Secure settings helper only and helper alternative didn't work.

Use only helper or helper alternative, not both.
[Android Apps and Games] realcc:
Hi, thank you for the reply. I already tried to uninstall the Secure Settings, and then tried the following scenarios :

Tasker + BusyBox + Secure Settings (without Helper)

Tasker + BusyBox + Secure Settings + Secure Settings Helper

Tasker + BusyBox + Secure Settings + Secure Settings Helper + Helper Alternative

However, all of those scenarios didn't work. Did I miss to do something to make it work?

Many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi,

Tasker + Secure Settings Helper should be ok.

Did you enable GPS options in helper from Secure Settings?

You need to enable functions before you can use it.
[Android Apps and Games] realcc:
Yes, I already enable the GPS options in Secure Settings.

Please find the attachments for the screenshots below.

The GPS status is still Off when I run the Task to enable GPS in Tasker.

[Android Apps and Games] ChungHung.Chen:
Which version of tasker ?

Could you check "Task" tab in tasker to see if any warning icon in task tab?

If you do not create any task, create tasks for GPS on/off and use them in profile.

I've created two tasks for "GPS on/off" which including two actions.

1. Set GPS on/off from plugins/secure settings

2. Flash text "GPS Enabled" / "GPS Disabled"

After task created, you can select task and use "Play" icon in bottom left to test.
[Android Apps and Games] realcc:
I am currently using Tasker v4.2u3. Please find the attachments for the screenshots.

There is no warning icon in the task tab. Thank you for the suggestion to add the flash text.

I have added the flash text after the GPS step. When I run the Play icon manually, the text is shown, but the GPS is still Off.

Do you have any idea how to fix this problem?

Many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ChungHung.Chen:
Looks like configuration is ok. How do you know GPS is not on?

GPS icon in status bar will show only when app is USING GPS.

I verify GPS settings in setup -> position. Or you can use some GPS app to verify.

Sorry that my phone is not with me now, so I can't give you my tasker config or screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] realcc:
Yes, I checked both in status bar and Location services in Settings.

Please find the attachments for the screenshots.

The options in Location services is not changed when I run the task. The GPS icon in the status bar is also still disabled.

I am pretty sure that the GPS Test would be hardly to recognize the location if the GPS is not enabled yet.

Do you have any advice to make it work?
[Android Apps and Games] ChungHung.Chen:
Please try to verify helper can response and root permission is ok.

Does manually enable GPS in setup work and GPS test can get GPS lock?
[Android Apps and Games] realcc:
Please find the attachments for the screenshots.

The helper is ok, message : "The Helper is functioning properly."

The root permission is also ok. The Secure Settings is already granted in SuperSU.

About the GPS, I ascertain that my phone can get GPS lock when I enable it manually and use it for Waze or Google Maps.

I am very curious on how to fix this issue. Is Tasker compatible with Galaxy S2 (I9000)?
[Android Apps and Games] ChungHung.Chen:
1. Uninstall helper from secure settings.

2. "Forget" root permission for secure settings.

3. Re-install helper from secure settings.

4. Verify helper's response.

If I remembered correctly, helper is also an apk which installed in /system/app.

Perhaps it should get a root permission in list too?

If all test still fail, maybe you can post a question in tasker's forum.
[Android Apps and Games] realcc:
I have followed the step above and it still doesn't work.

Actually, the Secure Settings didn't ask root permission. It asked the root permission when installing the helper.

I think the SuperSU show it as Secure Settings, instead of Helper, because Helper is part of Secure Settings.

I have no idea how to add the Helper manually in SuperSU? Would you please give me the guidance to do it?

Unfortunately, I am unable to open the tasker's forum, it shows error message : "The group name is invalid."

Many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ChungHung.Chen:

Having the same problem with GPS not activating on my Note 3 with Android 4.4.2.

Tasker is not going to help as it lost GPS after Android 2.x.x
[Android Apps and Games] ChungHung.Chen:
Tasker can enable GPS directly by using Secure Settings plugin.

Install Secure Settings => install helper ( < 4.4.2 ) or Helper alternative ( 4.4.2 ).

Then select Plugin => Secure Settings => GPS in Tasker.

Now you can enable/disable GPS in Tasker.

Issues with Passwords/Pins after 1.3.4 upgrade

The encryption key gets generated the first time that a password/pin action is saved. To test to make sure this is working please do the following:

Remove and re-install Secure Settings (do not restore from a backup!)

Go to Tasker/Locale/etc and create a new task to set the password/pin

Save the task

Manually run the task

If you see the error notification, please let me know

Turn your screen off and on again

Enter in your password/pin

If this works, then that means that you are still using a task that has an old password saved in it. You will need to remove and recreate these profiles so the password can be re-encrypted.
