I'm also having problems with secure settings passing a variable to Tasker. I'm trying to get my IP address with:

/system/xbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep "inet addr" | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1 }'

Works fine in terminal emulator, but when I try displaying the variable in Tasker all I get is the variable name. I even tried the ping example above, but I get the same thing.

Help?

-------------------------------------------

EDIT: Uninstalling everything and reinstalling seems to have solved the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] flexfulton:
Hi.

First off thanks for all your hard work and your great little plug in.

I'm having an issue where I can't seem to toggle LTE to work under Options/Custom ROM Actions/LTE. The option is red and when I click to enable it it tells me I'm missing requirements. * A CM9/AOKP ROM and an LTE radio are required to use this feature.

I'm running CM10.1 on a Galaxy S3 I747M with the required LTE radio. LTE is fully functional for me and my ROM even has a quick settings tile to toggle LTE on/off manually which basically sets the preferred network mode to WCDMA preferred and back again.

I'd like to use tasker however to toggle 4G off automatically when at work where I have a very poor LTE signal and when on an active WIFI connection to help conserve battery and at this point in time seems to be the only way I can find to do this.

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated. I did a search and only found one post about this not working with CM10 and the user was encouraged to e-mail the author of the app.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Make sure to share that Tasker profile when you're done! I'm gonna use it on mine, preemptively, even if I don't encounter the bug as often as you do. :)
[Android Apps and Games] flexfulton:
Are you stalking me? How did you end up tracking down my post within minutes in this thread so far from the CM10.1 Nightlies Thread? Haha.

Do you see the same issue? Not allowing you to use the LTE function?
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Never seen it happen live, but I've seen one huge battery drain once cause by phone standby and the battery graph never showed "red" as having no signal. I assume that's what happened, must have been on a fringe 4G area.

I'm already running a multitude of Tasker scripts (some using Secure Settings).

Might as well run this one preemptively of that happening again, since it seems to happen to everyone, just very few are unlucky enough to encounter it as much as you because of your location.

Edit: Oh and I have great memory for people. I monitor a few subforums including this one, saw you were the latest poster and though I'd go check since your input was very well backed up in the CM nightlies thread, so my only risk was to stumble upon something useful. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] flexfulton:
No I was asking if you have the option to use LTE toggle in Secure Settings.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Oh sorry, no it isn't, it's also grayed out
[Android Apps and Games] Crugath:
I've bought Pro for Secure Settings and I'm having trouble getting the Google Now Shortcut to work correctly.

I am using an HTC One with the ARHD 10.3 ROM (rooted), which is based on Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5.0.

I have set up a profile in Tasker that when the Google Now shortcut is activated the camera opens. This works fine.

As soon as I add an app context, for example, when I activate the Google Now Shortcut and Gallery is the currently open application, nothing happens. If I remove the Google Now Shortcut context, and then open the gallery, the camera app also opens just fine.

If I add another context, like State: Wifi Connected, and then use the Google Now Shortcut, this also works fine. (Google Now Shortcut + Wifi Connected -> Open Camera)

So something is preventing the combination of "Google Now Shortcut + App -> Open Camera".

Here's a screenshot of how I have this set up in Tasker http://i.imgur.com/KSH1zA3.jpg

Both Tasker and Secure Settings are set up as Device Administrators and the Secure Settings Helper has been successfully installed. I have tried clean installs of both Secure Settings and Tasker, with Data and cache being cleared numerous times.

Please can someone tell me whether I'm doing anything wrong, or is this perhaps an incompatibility with Secure Settings/Tasker and Sense 5.0? I'd love to get this fixed as this is the main reason I purchased Secure Settings pro!

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] munchee:
I'm actually having similar issue. I'm on GS3, Jellybean 4.1.2 stock. Using Secure Setting to turn display on for 2 second, then screen got stuck on. From that point on, tasker basically hung, waiting for a response back before continuing to the next task.

I noticed that during this time, if I go to Secure Setting, go to Helper tab, then click on "Verify helper is working", then that seemed to trigger the wakelock release, and the rest of my task will get executed immediately after that.

I've re-create the task a few times, still having issue with this, but, this issue is intermittent, so its pretty hard to get a consistent behavior.

Is there anything that I can provide to help debugging this perhaps?

EDIT:

I think I figured out why. I googled looking for logcat, was able to get one, and saw this, which I think might have caused the issue:

WakeLock finalized while still held: com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin

releaseWakeLockLocked flags=0x0 tag=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin

I have no idea what that is, so I googled it again, and found this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5920798/wakelock-finalized-while-still-held

I'm no dev, but if I guess correctly, this is caused by having multiple Wake Device tasks.

So I streamlined my tasks, making sure that I don't have any duplicate Wake Device calls. So far I haven't seen the issue comes back, so crossing fingers ...
[Android Apps and Games] eBoody:
For some reason none of the secure settings plugin tasks don't work. I have it installed and helper is installed but when I try to use ahh secure settings tasks nothing works...any advice? I'm on touchwiz rom note 2

Nvm! My tasker was out dated
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Hate to ask the obvious, but are you rooted? If so, is SS getting root permissions from SuperUser, SuperSU, etc? Try clearing SuperUser/SU permission and letting it re-ask for root permissions maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] eBoody:
I figured it out, my tasker was out dated, as soon as I updated it it started to work, thanks though!
[Android Apps and Games] spbhutia:
trying to enable/disable my pattern lock via tasker , it gives me error.. but if u reboot then it works.. so everytime in task I ve to

1. Disable Pattern lock

2. Reeboot

Same goes for enabling it..

Can someone confirm..

HTC One 4.2.2 trickdroid 7.5.0
[Android Apps and Games] munchee:
Try adding Wake Device, followed by a 100 ms wait right before disabling/enabling pattern lock.
[Android Apps and Games] spbhutia:
Nop.. still not working.. but workin after reboot..
[Android Apps and Games] munchee:
That's a bummer. It works fine in mine. Forgive me if you've already done this, did you set Secure Setting as Device Admin?

My tasks looks like this:

* Secure Setting --> Wake Device for 15 seconds

* Wait 100 ms

* Secure Setting --> Disable/Enable pattern lock

* Tasker --> System Lock

It's been working for me since day one. Had issue with Wake Device for a bit cause I got multiple tasks firing off Wake Device at the same time, but I've resolved that issue.
[Android Apps and Games] MidnightDevil:
Man those are some very handy features! Thank you so much!

Gonna give it a go later with some additional tasks I have already set up!

Cheers man! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] spbhutia:
Still no luck.. r u also using HTC One.. n yes tasker is set as Admin. :p
[Android Apps and Games] munchee:
No, I'm on GS3, details details ....:p

Can't think of anything, sorry. hopefully someone will be able to help you on it. I'm guessing it's around some sort of caching or permission, but what do I know ...
[Android Apps and Games] spbhutia:
Your help is appriciated... Thanks..
[Android Apps and Games] silentwitness1:
I am running Tasker with secure settings on the s4 but everyone I try to set the pattern lock bits Tasker I get the error unable to perform action pattern lock however the pin lock works fine any ideas on what the issue could be?
[Android Apps and Games] dc211:
Hi Thanks for making this app.

I do need a little help with it though.

I have a Nexus 4 and I'm using secure settings pro so I can have tasker switch from 2g to 4g. I used to have no problem with it but recently it keeps telling me that there is a missing requirement.

The app says the LTE action could not complete due to the following reason " A CM9 / AOKP rom and LTE radio are required to use this feature."

My problem is that I actually have both of those. I'm running CM 10.1 RC5 and a .33 radio. I have telelphony.lteOnGsmDevice=1 in the build prop.

What is secure settings looking for?

PS I use LTE daily so I know it works.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Secure Settings Beta v1.3.3

Hi guys.

Sorry for the extended absence. I've been quite busy with some new exciting features :D

I'm excited to say that there is a new Secure Settings beta available using the new Google Play beta delivery system. In order to become part of the beta, please join the Secure Settings Google Group and visit this page to become part of the beta program.

Please make sure to read the sticky thread in the group as there are a few specific areas of focus that I am hoping you guys can help me out with.

Also, I have no idea what I'm doing with the Google group so if you find that you can't post or you have trouble joining, please let me know.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Joined and looking forward to getting the new beta,whens it being released?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I just published it to Google Play about a half hour ago, so I imagine it will take a few hours to become available.
[Android Apps and Games] Kurupt1:
Signed up got the update seems to be working well will report back.
[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
A little OT: Is there a list of all the apps that you can beta test through Google+? The only way I found out about beta testing Secure Settings was through Reddit.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
You could try searching Google+ Communities for the app in question to see if they have a page you could join and by extension join the beta program
[Android Apps and Games] Ci-Fi:
Thanks. I just did that, but I would have to do that every week or so to see if any apps recently started beta testing. There's got to be an easier way.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Quiet a few of the beta apps started off on xda so I have found it quiet easy to follow over to g+, and know what was going beta.
[Android Apps and Games] metalwraith:
I've seen Falcon Pro... granted that hasn't lasted too long for obvious reasons... I'd certainly be interested in checking out other beta apps as well.
[Android Apps and Games] osiedacz:
Hi iD, I was wondering if the Samsung settings I had PMed you about a while ago might make it into the new version? I am on the Beta, but not seeing them yet. I'll gladly test them out if you can give it a shot. The features were the Samsung specific: Driving Mode, Power Saving and Blocking. I guess S-Beam might be nice too. I've see that NFC Task Launcher has them in it, so I am assuming it is possible.
[Android Apps and Games] DaMyth:
I'm trying to figure out how I can use Swipe to Unlock, but I still want to use my a PIN for added security... I know this is possible with Tasker and Secure Settings, just need a bit of instructions on how to set this up... I've read somewhere that you don't necessarily have to use SS to set this up, but either way, any help would greatly be appreciated... Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] teh_lorax:
You can either swipe to unlock or enter a PIN to unlock. Either it can't be done, or I don't understand what you're saying.
[Android Apps and Games] DaMyth:
I want to be able to use slide to unlock so I can still use my shortcuts on the lock screen, but once I use that, I want it to ask me for a pin...
[Android Apps and Games] teh_lorax:
Never heard of being able to do that. You can keep the PIN lock and install DashClock though. That will likely give you your desired result.
[Android Apps and Games] zenosteam:
Can someoin tell me if tasker application. Can be installed on cm10.1

Any chance we'll get a fix for pattern unlock issue on HTC One?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The current beta has a possible fix for this.

If you're interested in being a part of the beta, please join the Secure Settings Google Group and visit this page to opt in to the beta. You should see an update to Secure Settings in the Play Store within a few hours.

Once you have the beta installed, go to the app's preferences, press the "Pattern Unlock method [4.1+]" and choose "Lock Settings (Experimental!)" to use the new method. Please make sure to let me know if it works for you.
[Android Apps and Games] WastedJoker:
works great!
[Android Apps and Games] mitchst2:
Is there a way to access 4.2.2 quick settings panel directly using Secure Settings and Tasker?
[Android Apps and Games] negative13:
Is it possible to use this to launch the menu?

For example, long press home button to launch secure settings then secure setting will launch the menu button.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I believe I responded to you in an email.

I'm not aware of a way to trigger the menu button if your device doesn't have a hardware button for it. If you do have a hardware button for the menu, then you might have luck using Tasker to execute this command via a root shell "input keyevent 1". Take a look at this page for more keycodes.
[Android Apps and Games] mitchst2:
You did yes. Had posted here first.

Be a nice new addition if you could do it.
[Android Apps and Games] Bajo76:
I use Package State option for disabling apps while display is off to save battery

It would be great if i could choose multiple apps because there are a lot off apps iˆm disabling.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I'll consider adding multi-select. In the meantime, I would recommend Greenify for this purpose.
[Android Apps and Games] Simba501:
Greenify is phenomenal.
[Android Apps and Games] Bajo76:
Thx. for quick reply.

I use greenify as well on my other devices but not with my MIUI device Xiaomi mi2. Greenify requires xposed framework (system apps), but xposed framework does not work with MIUI.

Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Greenify doesn't require the Xposed framework. Only the beta features require that. Greenify works perfectly on it's own.

Edit: I got you before your edit it seems. Move along. :p

[Android Apps and Games] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Recently discovered this app and it has been fantastic to use with Llama for managing LTE, proper enabling/disabling of the secure lock screen, and toggling the WiFi policy. It's working so well that I'd rather stay on 4.2.2 until everything is working on 4.3...that's a first for me. I usually upgrade the moment there's an update. The app is that great. Keep up the great work!

[Android Apps and Games] Mgamerz:
I emailed the dev, he says he will try to find a fix once his devices are on 4.3.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Please download the beta. There is a hack/fix in the app's settings for this issue.

To get the beta, please join the Secure Settings Google Group and visit this page to opt in to the beta. You should see an update to Secure Settings in the Play Store within a few hours.

Updated my Nexus 7 and looking into the issue now.

Edit: Figured it out. I'll publish an updated beta soon.
[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:
Awesome, hopefully the beta deals with more than just 4.3 woes. I'm excited to try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] Mgamerz:
My first thought was F*** yeah. Seriously I said it in my mind. Joining ASAP!

Edit: Not in the google group yet so I'm posting my results here. Helper fails to uninstall, as well as install. Fails at checking for responsiveness and fails to uninstall at the package management stage.
[Android Apps and Games] Suxter:
using with Llama.thanks for free features :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Mgamerz:
Update: I'm not sure the version you just pushed out to Google Play. I haven't done beta program before so I don't know if it saying July 2 is correct.

I'll post in the group too. I reflashed /system (still vanilla) and it was still not installing. I used the experimental support mode which still doesn't fix airplane mode.

Edit: the updated beta isn't out apparently. Wonder what that update was for that I saw... Other beta maybe?

Edit2: OP says in the google group the beta is not out yet... but in this thread says it is. Not sure what to believe, but it doesn't work on 4.3 it seems.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
New beta (v1.3.3b4) uploaded. Should be available within a few hours.
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
It solves the airplane mode for me when connected to home wifi. Thanks for the update, great response in a short time! I knew I bought this for good reason! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] xdaillum:
I saw a post earlier by neo668 showing how to enable GPS on through Plugin->Secure Settings.

I am noticing two problems that I am having though.

Scenario 1) When opening Google Maps, I want Mobile Data (Enable), GPS (toggle) and Location Services (toggle)

When Google Maps is opened, location services switches on but on exit it does not switch off (i.e. does not toggle - acts like "enable")

GPS also only goes on for a few seconds then turns itself off.

Mobile data is fine.

Scenario 2) When opening Google maps, I want to Mobile Data (enable), GPS (toggle) - and no location services.

When Google Maps is opened, GPS switches on but on exit does not switch off (like above, does not toggle).

Mobile data is again fine.

So in Scenario 1, Location Services does not toggle to off when exiting and GPS does not stay on while maps is open.

In Scenario 2, I don't touch location services and GPS does not toggle to off

Does anyone have any advice?
[Android Apps and Games] Mgamerz:
New beta fixes it. Though I had to reboot/uninstall/reinstall/install helper to get it working. Not sure which of those fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] cowbe0x004:
Any way we can download the newest beta elsewhere? I can't join the beta test for some reason, google keeps giving me 404 page not found error.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
That likely means you didn't join the Google group first. Once you've joined the group, make sure you're signed in with the same account and open up the beta opt-in link again.
[Android Apps and Games] xdaillum:
Sorry were you responding to my problem or someone else?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Have a Nexus 4,stock android 4,3, latest secure settings beta installed insystem(dont need the helper),have tried all ways with the pattern unlock method and my keyguard unlock just doesnt work right,it disables it for a while but eventually the lock screen relocks,definitely a 4,3 issue though,any suggestions or is this known about?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Are you noticing that the keyguard shows up when you press a notification? If so, it's due to changes Google made starting with ICS. I wouldn't recommend using the Keyguard option on newer Android versions.

Are you also saying that the Pattern Unlock method isn't working properly for you?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Havent actually tested Pattern Unlock but thought it was all related Keyguard/pattern unlock so I assume it is also flaky,

Had no problems on 4.2.2 with beta 3(cant remember but that was also problematic till beta 3 fixed it) but since going to 4,3 stock the phone seems to forget that the keyguard has been switched off(have tried with/without notification and still it re enables the keyguard,tasker log isnt showing it being disabled either)

My tasker profile is Wifi on keyguard off, it fires but at some point the keyguard will re enable even though wifi is still connected and the tasker log shows the profile as active.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I know Google made a lot of behind the scenes changes to 4.3. I'm going to say it's likely due to something they've tweaked in the framework. Once I get some time, I'll verify that claim.

In the meantime, give this guide a shot.
[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
I was about to post the same but slightly different. I use it to turn gps off at home and on when not at home. When I get home (connect to my Wi-Fi) it turns off and so does Bluetooth. When I leave, bt enables but not gps.

So is this issue resolved with a beta release or is that for another issue?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
This likely is an issue with the configuration in Tasker. I would try playing around with "Wait" actions. Additionally, if you're using an app as the context, make sure you have the Tasker accessibility service enabled as it usually helps make a difference in the app detection.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Thanks I knew there was some jiggery pokery to get it working,I disabled slide to unlock set up my profile re-enabled slide to unlock and so far it seems to be working as it should :fingers-crossed:

Also the cats that are having problems with GPS and location services I was never able to control GPS as if you switch location services off you still have to manually active it again for apps other as maps so gave up, seems alot of advice in the tasker groups is just to leave it alone as it works as it should and is only used when needed.
[Android Apps and Games] woahnelly:
Hi,

Great app. I've only ever used it to turn off lockscreen security when in the house so apologies if this is a daft question.I'm trying to use Secure Settings and Tasker to wipe app data but I get the following error:

"An error occurred while executing Action: Package Options!"

I can use the force close app option without problems, but get the error with data or cache wipe. Happens with any app I choose. Tested with latest stable and beta versions. Only tried on my current ROM (Carbon - Samsung Galaxy S2). Had a search but not found a solution, any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
I'm aware of this issue. It seems to only happen with certain devices/roms. I'm still trying to figure out a way to fix this without breaking this feature for other users.
