I did a search about this, but didn't find this specific error. On Lollipop preview everything seems to work fine, except that the device admin deactivates itself constantly. I use it to control pattern lock, and is the only function that I've noticed missing. All my other apps are working fine as device admin. This is the only one that doesn't sticks as such. Any clue?

I'm using 1.3.5
[Android Apps and Games] camdecoster:
It turns out that I am disabling the KEYGUARD, not pattern lock when having this issue. I've edited the text of my original post to correct it and have included it below:

When using pattern lock disable on my Moto G running Xposed, I'm having an issue. If my phone is pattern locked and THE KEYGUARD is then disabled by a Tasker profile, hitting the home button will cause pattern lock to enable but secure settings still thinks the KEYGUARD is disabled. If my phone is pattern locked and I enter the pattern and then THE KEYGUARD is disabled by a Tasker profile, hitting the home button will NOT cause pattern lock to enable, which is the intended behavior. I'd like to stop the spontaneous phone locking described in the first scenario. Has anyone experienced this issue? Can anyone provide a solution?

That was not my question and I didn't want to wanted to pressure anybody. I just wanted to know if Android L support is planed.

The beta version is working for me on Android L. So I decided to spend 20$ to intangibleDroid for the continued support. Not enough for a personal assistant, but perhaps a motivation.

BT Connection Error Message

I'm using the BT Connection action of Secure Settings with Tasker, with the "Automatically Enable Bluetooth" option checked.

If BT is on, but not connected, the action works as expected, forcing the connection.

If BT is turned off, Secure Settings does turn BT on and force the connection, but I'm getting a Toast notification that reads: "An error occurred while executing Action: BT Connection." I would have expected the "Automatically Enable Bluetooth" option would prevent Secure Settings from throwing an error in this situation.

It's not a major issues, since the desired action does occur, but it's a bit annoying. Two question: Is there a way to see exactly what the error is, and is there any way to prevent the error from showing up at all.

Many thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] Pyros2008:
Can someone point me to a Secure Settings dummy guide or explain how to setup the task below using tasker?

Specifically, I am trying to create a homescreen shortcut that silently launches my Harmony app (Logitech Harmony Remote), selects the appropriate hub (I have two, uniquely named) and starts a uniquely named activity (e.g. Chromecast or Watch TV). I've already created a task, associated it with the secure settings plugin and selected to launch an activity, but I'm confused as to function to select from the list and how to add commands, such as actually selecting an item/running a command within the application. I've tested each function listed for the Harmony app, but cannot find the screen that selects either the Hub or or the Harmony activity (chrome etc).

Additionally, I'd like to create shortcuts that function as play, stop etc within the same application. I'm basically trying to create a remote control on my homescreen. I believe I can figure most of this out if I understood the basics and or how to at least create a shortcut that starts the activity (as mentioned above).

I've been searching, but I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for.

Thanks!

if you are getting an error message about not able to grant permissions when enabling secure settings using a newer AOSP rom you will have to do this :

''Please use a terminal emulator to perform the following:

su

pm grant com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

pm grant com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

After, re-open Secure Settings and go to the System+ tab to see if the commands worked. If you see a green checkmark, then you're good.﻿''

Is this app supported anywhere? I posted the question below a week ago, and there's been almost no activity on this forum since, and no answer to my question.

More importantly, is there a way to see what is generating error messages? The error I'm getting (below) is pretty generic, and not even slightly helpful in trying to figure out what's going on. I've searched this thread, the Secure Settings web site, and the web in general, and found no thing hat says anything about this, or how to figure out what is causing an error in the app.

I change some secure settings in my app with root (GPS, Airplane mode). They stopped working with Lollipop. Would it be considered extremely bad practice to temporarily disable selinux, run my command, then rennable it? i.e. setenforce 0, run command, setenforce 1
[Android Apps and Games] Rohaq:
Regarding the VPN disconnection option, is there any way you can make it able to disconnect any current VPN connection? I use the privateinternetaccess app, which doesn't set up a standard Android VPN profile (as it can connect to multiple gateways), but still seems to use the Android VPN function, so I'm fairly sure Secure Settings should be able to disconnect it.
[Android Apps and Games] rydako:
as dtr145r said, you weren't granted root permission, so the command failed. Try on your phone with terminal emulator (From the playstore), I've hardly used adb's shell, but it's possible it auto denies the request from adb for security reasons? Or somehow your superuser app isn't handling the request correctly? Either way, if your phone is rooted (This command requires your phone to be rooted) use terminal emulator and providing you accept the superuser request, the command should work.
[Android Apps and Games] rhodry999:
Thanks to all suggestions I got it to work on my Nexus 5 with Lollipop. However I found that at least the pattern lock disable/enable will not work. Probably due to a new way Google has set this up. So I guess we need to wait until developer gets out with a new version. I suggest everybody post here if they have a function that no longer works with Lollipop.

Secure Settings not re-enabling keyguard - frustrated.

Hey there... I have a Sprint HTC One M8 with Viper ROM.

I've setup a profile in Tasker (using Secure Settings) to disable the pattern lock when I am connected to my home wifi. The profile works as it should when it comes to unlocking the phone.

It does not re-lock it when I am disconnected from the wifi. Rather I get a notification from Secure Settings saying "Option Disabled - Click to Enable Lock Device"

What am I missing here? The entire idea behind tasker/secure settings is make this **** automatic. Did I miss a setting or something? Any help is appreciated!!
[Android Apps and Games] Vledderos:
Device admin is getting uncheched every time when secure settings performs an action. Also after the setenforce trick. I guess secure settings needs some fixing?

Using android LRX21T
[Android Apps and Games] ankn:
I'm using Android Lollipop on Nexus 9 and Nexus 4. I usually keep check lock enabled with a security sequence enabled (with face unlock too). Using Secure Settings with the "keyguard Off" action I can disable it when at home and the reverse action works too (restoring the security sequence). I'm wondering if I could have a "slide to unlock" setting when at home instead of "no lock at all".

In other words:

- at home: slide to unlock (no security requirement but a slide action to enter the screeen);

- not at home: security sequence.

Thanks for any advice!

PS: this could be obtained too if the new "Smart Lock" feature would expose some kind of API to force disabling/restoring simulating the presence of a bluetooth/NFC trusted device.
[Android Apps and Games] rhodry999:

I just wanna report my findings while disabling pattern lock in stock lollipop (Nexus 5). When I get home and thus connect to my WiFi, Tasker detects it and disable pattern lock using secure settings. First time I switch on the screen, I see the bottom lock circle unlocked, but when I swipe up to unlock the phone, pattern points appear, but no pattern combination works. I must press back button, then swipe up again, and I finally can unlock the phone without pattern. From there, pattern stays disabled as it should till I leave home. Pattern lock enable works OK.

Thanks to take a look at it if you're able to test in lollipop...

Pattern lock actions have been somewhat hit or miss, going back to KK... There are a few options to try - go to config > Pattern Unlock Method and try one of the alternative methods. May not work on Lolipop, however, but worth trying. May have to wait for app update.

umm, OK. I though I saw a lolipop post, but I might have misread it. Anyway, was just offering options to try in case anyone wasn't aware.
