It's going very well! Expect the major update during the week of December 16-December 20. The biggest changes are:

-A complete redesign, with more fluid animations; because it's 99% text and colors, it should work better on different screen sizes

-Themes based on color (not sure if I'll implement custom theme options from the interface before the update or not)

-A setup screen, which includes the option to change the most common variables, as well as your name

-An option to run a log and email me if there are other questions/problems, located in the setup screen

-Victoria will sometimes ask follow up questions (like if you ask how her day was, she'll answer and ask how yours was)

-It places default values for most variables in, which should solve a lot of problems for everyone, especially beginners

-There are a LOT more voice commands.

I sent a message to Pent yesterday requesting him to add font options to the scene editor, and he said he'll put it on his "shortlist"; hopefully that means the new version of Tasker comes out before I upload everything, otherwise rather than the pretty, thin fonts, everything will be Serif and ugly. I got around it by replacing the Serif font on my phone with Segue WP Light, but I don't want to make everyone do that. This version will require the newest version of Tasker, 4.2u3 (I think).

Please tell me, how are you liking it? What do you use it most for? Any ideas or suggestions? :P

Here are some screenshots:

I don't have this. I can import by holding the profiles/tasks/scenes tap above en press import, but then the "Assistant.prj.xml" isn't found.

How can I do this?
[Android Apps and Games] lareya:
Can't wait to see it. I am excited about your new voice cmnds. There really is a bunch of great stuff or there with the auto plugins. I hope you incorporated them. Scenes are my weak spot. I have not much experience with that. I changed phones to a note 3 which I love.

To the question about the prj file , you need to load that in the project file by pressing down on home and then import it there.
[Android Apps and Games] rangie007:
Looking forward to your updated project. I have recently enjoyed success with Tasker by dissecting your original project.

I've just uploaded Victoria 2.0 (see the main post); there are some significant changes, and I advise you to read everything before installing. Thanks for your support! :)

I've just uploaded Victoria 2.0 (see the main post); there are some significant changes, and I advise you to read everything before installing.

I try to avoid plugins, but many are unavoidable. I've done a TON with AutoNotification, though! I think you'll like the new scenes, too... I threw in more custom theme options than what I originally posted.
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
I've officially uploaded Victoria 2.0.

The most significant change that's not mentioned at all in the video is Wolfram Alpha integration... if you say something that's not pre-programmed into it, Victoria will search Wolfram Alpha.

Furthermore, beginning with this version, Victoria will (by default) automatically check for updates and give you the option to download changes without the need to go to XDA every time!

Please report all bugs/requests to me through either XDA or email (use the log option on the setup screen in Victoria).

Oh, and IMPORTANT- You must either delete or rename all tasks and profiles from the previous version of Victoria, or else it won't import.

Thanks for your support, it makes me feel amazing when I see a reply from someone telling me about their experience with it.
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Sorry!

Sorry for the false start- Victoria had a bug that I hadn't actually realized where it would display the setup screen with no background after skipping the entire setup process. I've corrected it and thoroughly tested this version.

Everything should be working fine now! :D
[Android Apps and Games] lareya:
OK downloaded it and now working on getting it set up. Made the short cut. Looks good, you put in great work on this.
[Android Apps and Games] ph37rd:
All I'm seeing for the download is an XML file, yet all through the thread and OP there is mention of a zip file.

Am I just missing it?
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Most of the threads (up until I've said I uploaded Victoria 2.0) are referring to the older version of Victoria, which didn't automatically download the icons/text files, and I put it all in a ZIP file. You just need the project file now :) Sorry for the confusion!
[Android Apps and Games] ph37rd:
Thank you for the quick response. Now just have to figure out how to download on my phone without using the laptop. When I click to download it tries to read the XML file as a webpage. I'll keep messing with it.

I actually put a Weatherunderground sticker in that scene space, works great... the bottom half is an animated satellite gif

[MENTION=4871540]mouthofrandom[/MENTION] I just have to say... this is one amazing piece of work... mate you have created something truly special!

Downloading

Hey saw your video and just downloaded Tasker and all the plug-ins and love it but I can not download your free Victoria zip file. Just keeps opening up on a new page showing all the xml coding. Is their any way I can get the zip file so I can start using this awesome program you designed. Tysm
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
You have to actually save the XML file (there is no ZIP file) and import it as a project; refer to the installation instructions for help with this part. Victoria may be a challenging first Tasker project- you might want to get familiar with the basics such as variables, if/for loops, profiles vs. projects vs. tasks, etc. before you download. Everything's designed to work with very little setup, but it's nice to know how to change stuff when you want to :P
[Android Apps and Games] reeper82:
Downloading

i have set up profiles and already set up some projects my issue is when i click i DOWNLOAD VICTORIA 2.0 it will not let me save, nor import, nor open up tasker to import just opens up another web page and says "this xml file does not appear to have any style info associated with it. the document tree is shown below, and shows all all the coding. and i read all the instructions several times and i am going to school for computers and built three of them and right now i feel pretty stupid lol.
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
If you're on a computer, you have to right-click and save it somewhere. You can't simply click on the download link. If you're on your phone, tap and hold and save it that way. Once Assistant.prj.mxml is saved to your phone, open Tasker and import it (see steps 3-8). Tapping the XML file on your phone won't do anything, either.

reboot/music

hey just have two stupid ?s one is reboot. i looked into the task and var. and everything seems good but vic does not understand me at all when i say reboot but i see tasker trying to engaged but just waiting on my final yes. but vic keeps on saying repeat or don't understand and i do speak English very well. also the program uses spotify and was wondering if i could change that that seeing i use iheart for my radio and poweramp for my internal music but i see spotify is fully integrated and don't see where the normal player is. just was wondering if it would be easier to stick with spotify or change it all and how can i add poweramp. ty.
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
For your first question, that's a bug; I fixed it for the next release. To fix it yourself, go to Process: Assistant, and scroll to where it has "Perform Task- Assistant: Open, Reboot" (it's line 30 on my current version, it might be different for you). In the If statement, add /*reboot*/*restart* to the end of it. Thanks for discovering that! :)

For the second question, I haven't tried either iHeart or Power Amp, but there's a good chance it'll work if you download MediaUtilities, but this app will cause problems if you use Victoria's DJ Mode with Spotify. You can always use all 3 music apps and turn DJ off in the main screen, but Victoria won't announce the song names. If you want to download it, run the task "Action: Check MediaUtilities Plugin".

Spotify's the only thing I can guarantee will 100% work, though.

Thanks for the questions (:
[Android Apps and Games] reeper82:
Music

Thank you for the reply and not sure how I did it to be honest but I got vic to read out the songs with power amp without DJ mode on but when sorry for the questions but when you mean by play music you are referring to the Google play music cause when I have set up without it and say play ****** it just goes to the play store
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Do you have the Google Search app installed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox)? If you have it, then when you say something like "Play (song or artist name)", then it should open the app and let you tap a button to start playing it through whatever music app you have.

Unless you mean it opens the search app and then takes you to the Play Store when you tap on the button? Just click the arrow and choose a different app.

[Android Apps and Games] MountainDewd:
When I try to import the file with Tasker, I get an error saying "error import of Assistant.prj.xml failed, failed to import profile data" do you know why this is?
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Hmm. Do you have any tasks named "Test" or "Assistant"? If so, try deleting (or renaming) them and importing it again...

Also, make sure you're following the instructions in the OP for importing; whenever I just open the project file in Tasker, I get a similar error (I think). Hope this helps!
[Android Apps and Games] MountainDewd:
I do not. I even tried clearing all data from Tasker without any luck.
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
The only other things I can think of are to make sure you're running the most recent version of Tasker (4.3u3), Jellybean or higher, and not in beginner mode. and importing it manually by tapping the house icon at the bottom of tasker, then choosing import.

Otherwise, it might be a weird Tasker bug on your device or ROM. If the above didn't help, try importing another project (not profile/task) from somewhere. Let me know you get it working :)
[Android Apps and Games] MountainDewd:
Okay, I'll try some different things. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

I got it working now. I was doing something wrong in the process of getting the file from my pc to my phone. I'm not quite sure what exactly the problem was.
[Android Apps and Games] reeper82:
Battery drain

Is it norm for this program to suck battery life like there is no tomorrow. Before I installed this program I made sure my system was clean or I think I should say never can truly say. But when I unplug it in the morning and do not touch it I'm out in five hours if I do things two hours max. I try to kill apps as much as possible and things running in the background but have no clue what's going on if I shut it down I'm back to norm a full day of battery life well the average battery life. Also what ever mode I'm in even in normal it will reject calls and texts and send auto reply that I'm busy I looked into it and see nothing firing that I see and tried reinstalling it twice the only help I can give is it started when I hit do not disturb
[Android Apps and Games] reeper82:
Reset

Hello sorry for the last post figured out my issue with the battery drain. But still having issues with the auto reply. The phone still thinks I'm either in do not disturb or night mode and cutting my phone calls or texts and sending auto reply. I'm sure it's something I might have done but when I do a restore to default or remove/delete went into root cleared out folders and Dropbox and when I reinstall it still comes back with all the same errors. Any advice.
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Sorry, I never got a notification about your first post!

In the Variables tab on Tasker, set %Mode to Normal, and set %DoNotDisturb to 0. Sorry you had to go through the trouble. In the future, if it does it again, you might want to clear all variables in Tasker before doing anything else.

I think I'll add an option in the setup screen in a later update to turn off autoreply. If you want to disable it permanently, delete the tasks "Event: Received SMS" and "Event: Incoming Call" (I think those are the names. If not, they're something similar)
[Android Apps and Games] tf2zone:
Running into problems

I consider myself a very experienced and advanced user of tasker. that being said parts of this are beyond me.

I am running into quite a few problems when trying to use this.

The first problem being what is the night clock app that is refers to? can you give a link to the particular app?

Another problem I am having is with it saying stuff because the default value in the project for the speech engine is default:default which is not recognized by my phone for some reason I suppose because I use ivona. I have replaced all with the correct value and some things work and some dont but I think I can figure out this part

I am also having trouble turning off and on the do not disturb mode. If I click on the button it enables dnd but when I then click again nothing happens.

for the reading of songs I am running to problems with the song and tip task as it has an error when it tries and split a variable and makes the task exit. this error also occurs in the random task from what I can see in the logs so far.

any advice on any of this?
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Sorry you're having problems! The first thing you should know is much of it is left for you to configure, like what app opens in night mode, if any. If you want the app though (it's fantastic as a nightstand), here's a link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neddashfox.nightclock

The voice thing shoud work with Ivona; I've used it a few times for testing. I don't know what the problem would be, though. Good luck with this!

I guess there's a bug with Do Not Disturb; I'll fix it in a (major) update in the near future! In the meantime, just tell Victoria "Turn Do Not Disturb off/on"

For "Process: Random", do you have all of the text files in the right locations? Maybe make a flash action after the step that says "Variable Randomize", then keep moving the flash action up to see where it crashes.

Tell me how it goes! :)
[Android Apps and Games] tf2zone:
so yes I have found a way to fix the ivona thing but it involves me having to manually go through and change the engine manually in all like all 120+ times it is used so I am working on that.

as far as the random task I know exactly where it is happening. I have logs enabled and it is crashing on the first variable split in the task. it preforms the 2 variable sets and then crashes when it tries to split into %randomone

I also want to thank you for sharing all your work because I know it isn't something you have to do and I really am amazed. I also know what you mean by it is something we are supposed to adapt for us and I have already made a number of changes such as making speech recognition better, changed how it toggles data, ect.ect.
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Hmm. Sorry about the Ivona thing, that'd be annoying! Sounds like %randomone isn't set, although I'm not really sure :-/ I've had problems in the past before with Tasker not splitting lowercase variables, though. And no problem, stuff like this is my passion! I'm constantly adding and modifying Victoria, though, so it's hard for me to find good stopping points.

Just for fun, here are some screenshots of what I currently have going on:

dang dude that looks awesome! I cant wait for updates. If you need any help I am a Computer Science and Graphic Design major so hey might be able to help here or there if you need :P
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
That's cool! :D Maybe in the future. I'm a freshman majoring in Computer Science; I'm also heavily interested in graphic design, especially operating systems, but I don't want to take any art classes :P
[Android Apps and Games] tf2zone:
That's cool. I am a sophomore. If you want graphic design stuff I would be more than happy to show you around. As far as the art classes I agree 100% the more I get into it the more I think I am just going to master in CS and have my design portfolio to make up for the major. All art majors are basically art history classes.
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Sounds awesome! I messaged you my Facebook profile.
[Android Apps and Games] reeper82:
A special thanks

I wanted to say thank you so much for tanking time out of your busy days and coming up this amazing profile. It truly blows my mind. Im in school for IT and I have been trying to work with tasker here and there and by no means a master at it. I am still configuring yours to my needs lol. Which brings me go a question. How can i change Play Music where when i say it she will pull up spotify instead of playmusic app. I have changed the app in the profiles and it does bring it up then a sec later she brings up the google card with the app play music.Also when it comes to gmail can i change that to cloudmagic.

Thank you again for everything you do.
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Thanks, I appreciate the support! :D

As far as the music task, whenever Google comes up with the button to play the song, there should be a little arrow that lets you select the app to open...

Ohhh, unless you mean when you just say "Play music". For that, try editing "Assistant: Play Music" (or something similarly named) to open Play Music instead of Spotify. Sorry, I don't have my phone or tablet with me right now to check.

As far as Gmail goes, where does Victoria use Gmail (or any email)? I believe that it's in there somewhere, but it's probably something I haven't used in months and have forgotten about ;)

Help with Victoria

Hi I was looking up on personal assistant for my android phone and came across victoria. It sounds like just what I am looking for. But the problem that I am having is to download the file.when I navigate to your download page, all that comes up is a set of wordings like a programming language can you help me to download the assistant and try it out. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
This question has been answered several times; you need to save the file, not open it. The download link directly links to the XML file, which most browsers will display as random code unless you save the file.
[Android Apps and Games] mintypu:
Thanks for that. I am up and running now. I would not like to be a bother but I have two problems that I need iron out.

1: how do i go about adding the link for the seven days weather update? I am from Trindad and Tobago and The online weather maps do not have radar view for my country.

2: I tried to edit the conversation text to add a few of my own following the way you input it but when I try it out I am not getting the replies I put in.Can you point me into the right direction for this please. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
1. I couldn't find a 7 day forecast image for your area, but if/when you find one, just copy the URL of that image into the 7 day forecast element of the weather scene.

I found your government's weather website- this should work for the radar: http://ttmet.dyndns.org/web/aviation/geo7.png

You might have to copy/paste the 7 day forecast element to replace the radar element, then change the URL to the link above.

2. It should work... are you editing Tasker/Dropbox/Notes/Tasker/Tasker Conversation Files.txt?

Autoremote

Not understanding Autoremote and sorry if I'm asking alot I really do attempt before I come on here. But I have log my phone in and saved it as a main device within auto remote. But all of a sudden now if I click on a internal link it will boot me saying I do not have a favorite device. Also I know u use Spotify but I use amazon mp3 if I change everything that is Spotify to Amazon will it work with victory thank you
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
I don't know what you mean by "internal link", but there shouldn't be anything that requires AutoRemote in the public version of Victoria. What are you trying to do?

I've never tested Amazon mp3, but my answer is the same as when you asked about iHeart Radio or Poweramp (here).
[Android Apps and Games] reeper82:
the public version does have AutoRemote. Its the 5th profile autoremote all messages leading to the task autoremote:receive. And interlinks links like when your on facebook and someone posted a link to go to and when you click it is when i get that message. "have no favorite device saved"
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Hmm. Sorry, I shouldn't have included that. If you delete the profile, it'll probably fix the problem. AutoRemote is only really used for sending tasker data between my phone and tablet, and the way I have it set up in the public version, that profile will do nothing for anyone.
[Android Apps and Games] reeper82:
Ok tysm. But i think i bought the app. Any ideas on a good way to use it. Dont have a tablet other then a surface pro and even thats a computer. Matter of fact when I installed victory I ended up getting auto remote, share, notification due to it was showing me those were missing from the program.

Time table

Hey have two more questions and promise I won't bug you again. I know you have tight schedule. One is my weather isn't working just comes up blank. I live in Fayetteville nc and the radar just stays the same no matter what I do. Also I do not understand your time table. Like if I want to set up a school time for it to go into school mode automatically I tried several things and nothing worked. Everything else I figured out. And what I mean time table is relative dates I think that is how you set it up ty
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
1. The weather issue could be caused by a number of factors... try saying "Update the weather" to Victoria and see what happens. Also, make sure your zipcode is entered correctly in the setup screen.

2. School mode is triggered through Google Calendar events that say "Class: *". You can change this in the School Mode profile.
[Android Apps and Games] reeper82:
Not seeing the "Class:*". Profile in Tasker nor within the the school mode profile. Is it something I have to do in Google calendar it's self
[Android Apps and Games] mouthofrandom:
Sorry, what I said was true for my version. Anyway, look at the profile called "Mode: Work", then change the calendar title to whatever you want.

Hi [MENTION=4871540]mouthofrandom[/MENTION], maybe you can combine your Victoria with this: Merge Xposed, Tasker, Autovoice and Google Now to use phone only by voice

Anyway, I'm not using Victoria yet, but I installed in my other device and I learn a lot from your Tasker setup. Trully impressive. Thanks

Sorry, I was experimenting with Google Drive. Long story short, don't do it... it can't compare to Dropbox.

Anyway, the alarm goes through Google Now. I don't think they let you do that :-/
