Helper Cleanup Process

Please perform the following to verify that the old Helper files have been successfully removed.

Using a root file explorer, please delete the following files if they exist:

/system/app/SecureSettingsHelper.apk
/system/app/com.intangibleobject.securesettings.helper.apk
/data/app/com.intangibleobject.securesettings.helper-*.apk (where * is a number)

Execute the following command using root via a terminal or adb:

pm uninstall com.intangibleobject.securesettings.helper

Finally, reboot your device and try to re-install the Helper or if you are running Android 4.1+, you should now be able to enable the System+ Module.
[Android Apps and Games] Mepsipax:
Ok, I tried this and here's my result:

From the apks you listed only the first one was there, so I deleted it.

Then I ran the command and got the following result:

1|shell@mako:/ $ su
su
root@mako:/ # pm uninstall com.intangibleobject.securesettings.helper
pm uninstall com.intangibleobject.securesettings.helper
pm uninstall com.intangibleobject.securesettings.helper
Failure

The Secure Settings Helper still shows up in the Android app list.

The System+ module activation still shows the same behaviour. It shows a notification that tells me to remove the helper and activate System+ but the operation fails.

Under the options Tab, I can see that from the System+ Actions 0 are available, 0 are enabled and 20 are there in total. Do I have to manually enable some or all of them?

Should I maybe shut down Tasker so it doesn't interfere with the process?
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Did you reboot after the command? That makes the big difference even if the pm command fails.
[Android Apps and Games] Mepsipax:
Yes, sorry. I forgot to mention that. I did reboot my device via adb shell.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
If the System+ tab is still detecting the Helper, then that means it's still somewhere in one of those locations. Look again and make sure it's gone. Also, it probably doesn't hurt to remove and re-install Secure Settings. If you are still experiencing issues, please email me (Contact option in the app menu) as I'd rather not add pages of us going back and forth testing things.
[Android Apps and Games] Mepsipax:
Okay, I'll try to clean reinstall Secure Settings again and get in touch if there's still any issues. Thanks so far.

Hi,

Is this working with Setting Profile Lite? I get no plugin find in SP. I'm on kitkat rom if this matter.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sdemills:
Firstly need to remember that option is for Android 4.1+ (so which version are you on) and also it says it's experimental (so presumably may or may not work depending on which device you have).

This is about pattern lock. I have a Note 3 running Android 4.3 rooted. It has a lock pattern set.

Once Secure Settings has disabled the lock screen then it behaves like this: if the screen goes off on an app (not the home screen or another of the launcher's screens) then when I wake the screen up it is straight back where it was in that app. If the screen goes off on one of the launcher's screens then when I wake the screen up I have to swipe to unlock (but not put my lock pattern in). I have the Secure Settings option set so that the very first time this happens, after disabling the pattern lock, I still have to put the pattern lock in - and pattern lock is disabled thereafter.

If you're not using a pattern lock then I don't know how using that feature would behave.

Hope that helps clarify?

Wireless ADB with hotspot rather than enabling WiFi

I have a pretty severely damaged SGS3 that I'm trying to turn into a headless device. Because the device has a dead display, dead home button, and no data connection on the USB port (luckily charging works)... I want to make it turn on the hotspot and wireless adb on boot so I can connect to it. I know that the combination is possible. I have the display from a 2nd SGS3 connected to it while I experiment. When it boots the Secure Settings notification says "Wifi Disabled, Turn on Wifi to Enable Wireless ADB". Please correct this.

Thanks for posting to my earlier question on updates. After many months and methods, I found such a simple solution to my BT issue with SS. I have tasker set up to run a bt car on task which runs when I get in the car and the phone sync's to the car. I use a Micus adapter which has its faults but I found that SS BT Dev Connect worked perfectly as it seemed to only force connect if it wasn't already connected. I use that to force pair the car and the micus adapter in the task, as insurance incase someone doesn't play nice. It was working so well and reliably, I paid for SS. :good: :) Once that happened tho, now when I first get in the car, it doesn't sync up like it was before. Also, if I went from Off/ACC to Start/Run *on the ign switch*, it would before work flawlessly and now it either doesn't work, or gets confused.. Any thoughts??? Thanks!

On GS4 Touchwiz 4.3 Root and Secure Settings doesn't seem to do anything properly for me via Tasker. I have a couple of golf GPS apps that I have Tasker profiles assigned to. Basically when I start them, what I do have working in the profile/tasks is the screen goes to full brightness and the screen timeout is 7 minutes. Now here is where I need SS to work but it doesn't:

1. Either Wake Device after the first 2 minutes of the 7 minutes before timeout, and Screen Dim. Basically I don't want full brightness for 7 minutes on a golf app screen--it will burn in. Instead I'd rather it be bright for 2 minutes, and then dim until I press the screen (i.e. it isn't idling and starts over waiting 2 minutes to dim or 7 minutes to timeout). I had this working briefly a few months ago before I gave up, but after working a few times it started just going crazy with the brightness...on, off, dark, bright, etc. Now I am trying to get it to work and SS isn't responding at all when I insert the Wake Device/Screen Dim command. Am I doing something wrong?

-or-

2. Have the screen go fully bright and disable the pattern lock. This way the screen can turn off after its normal timeout period (instead of 7 minutes), but as soon as I turn the screen on it goes immediately back to the app instead of making me enter in my keyguard. This hasn't successfully worked either. I've gone to Root Actions - Disable Keyguard, it asks me for SuperSU privileges and I grant, then it says error and won't work.

Ideally I'd like #1 to work and not disable the keyguard at all. Having the screen on very dimly won't burn in my screen, and all I have to do it tap the screen anywhere to get it to wake up and I can use the GPS app quickly and easily. Still, there are other reasons I'd like the keyguard lock function to work other than in just this task. Thanks for any help.

Keyguard Test Activity

I'm having big problems with a task called KeyguardTestActivity. Is it possible that it belongs to Secure Settings ?
[Android Apps and Games] dvorak67:
I've been trying to set something up in Tasker to disable google now when certain apps are open (games) or events are happening (phone call, alarm going off). I have secure settings pro, the Google now condition is enabled, but no conditions show up in Tasker when I open the secure settings plug in. It's just actions, dev actions, system+, and root. Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Darkened_Sky:

[Android Apps and Games] dvorak67:
I know that. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I mean that there is no condition submenu to open.
[Android Apps and Games] RorixRebel:
would it be possible to add NFC unlock to the methods built within the app?
[Android Apps and Games] sjmiller:
I'm pretty sure that what you are hoping to do is not correct. The condition submenu appears when you are using it as a conditional state for a profile context, hence the name condition, and not as an action within a task. I don't believe Secure Settings can do what you want.

Well i make it short.

I updated to 4.4.2, rooted, and even after searching this thread i can not figure out how to successful switch the pattern lock on and off when connected to my home network. I always get a SP error message. it worked without problems on 4.1.2

Anybody found a solution?

Thanks.

P.S. Meanwhile i switched to Pin Lock screen as this toggles perfect with SP.

P.S. 2 I set Pattern Unlock Mode to "Lock settings (Experimental)" and it is working.

I have a possible workaround but I cannot reproduce the issue on my end.

To Enable Airplane Mode

Create a task that executes the following command as root:

settings put global airplane_mode_on 1
am broadcast --user all -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez "state" true

To Disable Airplane Mode

Create a task that executes the following command as root:

settings put global airplane_mode_on 0
am broadcast --user all -a android.intent.action.AIRPLANE_MODE --ez "state" false

Please let me know if this works for you

If you are a Pro user and wish to use the Google Now Shortcut feature, please follow these instructions:

Open Secure Settings from your launcher

Go to the Preferences

Check the "Fix System UI Crashes (Google Now)"

If you aren't a Pro user, the best way to fix this is to disable the "Google Now Shortcut" option. You can do this by doing the following:

Open Secure Settings from your launcher

Go to the "Options" tab and expand "Conditions"

Un-check the "Google Now Shortcut" option

Just want to make sure you're rooted and have the Secure Settings Helper installed. This is correct, right?

If so, what kind of device do you have (make/model/android version)?
[Android Apps and Games] phantomblu:
It's rooted and I have helper installed. I use a HTC Sensation, Android 2.3.7 with CM7; specifically SelfKang10.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
That should work...

I would try creating a Task and invoking it manually to see if it's actually working on your device.

First make sure you have a pattern set through the Settings app.

Then create a Tasker Task with just the function "Pattern Lock Off" without the checkbox ticked.

After that is finished, back out of the plugin to Tasker and click the Play button in the bottom right corner. Give it a few seconds then turn the screen off. When the screen comes back on, it should be unlocked.

If this doesn't work, send me an email through the app and I can help guide you through some more tests.

Also, make sure you don't have any tasks involving the Keyguard. This setting conflicts with that.

How to disable stock lock screen

I have Desire Z with newest ILWT (based on cm7)

With this awesome app I can finally disable pattern lock when at home. But, when I put widgetlocker to suspend, android starts stock lock screen (at screen wake).

I'm having trouble getting the GPS on/off/toggle settings to work on my LTE Galaxy Nexus running ICS 4.03.

I installed the helper and the plugin has enabled the option in Tasker(it was asterisked as not available previously) but the action simply doesn't work. I have attempted it in a profile as well as using the "play action" feature and nothing happens with the GPS.

Is there something I a missing? or is this a known problem with ICS?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
This plugin doesn't use the Tasker built-in GPS option. To access the option do the following:

Create a Task then click the + to add an Action, then click "Plugin" and finally select the "Secure Settings" option. Once inside the plugin, select GPS from the menu.
[Android Apps and Games] Natolx:
Ah thank you
[Android Apps and Games] McPolo:
I think I figured this out myself, and it seems to be easy: just disable keyguard from securesetting-plugin. I'll comment again after longer testing, if this didn't do the trick.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
The keyguard action is meant to be temporary. It won't survive a reboot or low memory situations.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other real workarounds. Maybe it'll do what you need though.
[Android Apps and Games] McPolo:
Temporary is sufficient. For permanent action there are tablet settings, where one can disable those.

And for reboot, it "survives" through it, because tasker should run certain tasks after reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] DigitalJedi:
Here's a question. I am wanting to use Tasker to get my ip address and create a variable that it outputs to Minimalistic Text so I can have my IP address displayed through a widget on my home screen. I know there are widgets that can do this but they don't look the way I want them too but Minimalistic Text could pull it off. I already know how to do the Mnml Text part of it but my question is will this plugin allow me to get the ip adress of my phone?

My initial thought was that I could use the run command to execute an ifconfig. I know it would probably be "ifconfig wlan0" or something but I'm not sure. Then I could just have the IP made into a variable and setup a Mnml Text widget to display the variable and problem solved. Is this possible with this plugin and if so does anyone know how to pull it off?

EDIT: I just ran an ifconfig in terminal and it required SU and it looks like the device is rmnet_sdio0. It of course comes back with way more than just the ip so I need to figure out how to get just the ip out of that command.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
Not sure if this will work for you but you can give this a try:

ifconfig wlan0 | awk -F" " '{ print $3 }'

Then use Secure Settings to output the output to a variable of your choice.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] DigitalJedi:
I tried this in terminal and got "awk: no such file {print $3}. I tried it in tasker and it didn't set the variable. I set %MNMLIP as my output variable in both the command line in Secure settings and in the Tasker variables. My %MNMLIP variable was still empty after testing the task.

I got closer with:

ifconfig rmnet_sdio0 | grep 'inet addr:'

When I run that I at least get just the ip and subnet for the radio but still too much info.

I'm also realizing the rmnet_sdio0 is the radio for my mobile data so wlan0 is probably for when I hit wifi which means when I go home I will be trying this with wlan0 I guess. That also means that unless I feel like setting up an IP query for both situations my widget will only display an IP for whichever I chose to use in the command. Really and truthfully that will be fine because I just need it to work when I hit wifi. I like to use the Websharing app to transfer files back and forth between my computer and having my IP is needed for that. I used to just have the router configured to reserve a specific IP for my phone's MAC, but I just got a new phone last week and evidently I forgot the admin password on my router. I'd reset it but I'm being lazy and don't want to setup my reserved IP list and put my PS3 in the DMZ again.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
What is the output of "ifconfig wlan0" on your device?

I get this:

wlan0: ip 192.168.1.100 mask 255.255.255.0 flags [up broadcast running multicast]

Also, if you run "netcfg" you'll get a list of all the interfaces.
[Android Apps and Games] DigitalJedi:
When I run that it tells me that there is no such device. When I run netcfg I get a long list but still no wlan0. I'll hit wifi when I go home and see which device shows an ip.

EDIT: Gonna try making a script with this in it

ifconfig $1 | grep "inet addr" | gawk -F: '{print $2}' | gawk '{print $1}'

Then I can name it something like getip.sh and save it to my sd card. Then I can use the command "/sdcard/getip.sh wlan0" and hopefully that would do it. Again, can't try it until I get home but that is in about an hour so I'll see how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] intangibleDroid:
If you aren't on wifi then I'd expect you to get an error. You'll probably need a script that can take that into account. I'm not that great with shell scripts so I don't really want to steer you in the wrong direction :/
[Android Apps and Games] DigitalJedi:
Almost figured it out. Here's what I ran in your plugin:

/system/xbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'

It came back with "192.168.1.8". Now I just have to figure out how to get the end action of Variable Clear to actually work and change my Minimal Text widget to change. When I disconnect wifi I can see in Tasker that the variable clears but the IP remains in the widget I made.

Thanks for the help man. This is a powerful plugin you've made!
