Victoria 2.5

It's finally here! Victoria is my personal assistant, much like Siri, though infinitely more customizable. I've been working on this project for over a year, and I continuously improve it!

This version improves on and fixes a LOT of things, and it adds a ton of much-needed functionality.

Uncomprehensive Feature List

All commands may be typed or spoken. If you look in the "Process: Assistant" task, you'll see it works on many things even if it misinterprets what you say. This version tries to make everything as accessible as possible for everyone, and it addresses the most common problems people have had.

Because the code has gotten so complex, for newbies, I recommend looking around each task beginning with "Assistant: " to see how it all works.

Alarms

e.g. "Set an alarm to go to work tomorrow at 9"

e.g. "Wake me up in 2 hours"

e.g. "Set an alarm, please"

AutoReply

-If Driving, Sleeping, or in Do Not Disturb, it rejects calls and replies to calls/texts with messages explaining that I'm driving or sleeping

Backup/Restore

- New!

-In the File/Syncing Setup Screen, you can backup all important variables for future updates

-Automatically backs up before installing future updates

Battery

e.g. "Do you want me to charge you?"

e.g. "Battery"

e.g. "How much battery do you have?"

Calling

e.g. "Call Philip"

e.g. "Call Walmart in Oklahoma City"

e.g. "Block that number"

Call Screening

-Runs for all incoming calls

Reads text file with phone numbers; if the number calling is on the list, the call is rejected.

If the number calling isn't on the list, Victoria says, "Call from __."

If the number isn't a contact, Victoria says, "Call from someone!"

This is overridden by Autoreply at night or when driving.

ChaCha

- New!

e.g. "How do I study better?"

e.g. "Is it safe to drink caffeine when pregnant?"

Cloud Sync

- New!

-Runs at various times, including hourly

Configure in the Setup screen; it uses Dropsync or Drive Autosync to back up your data, Victoria or otherwise.

DJ Mode

-When exiting Driving Mode, Victoria will (try to) save your location

Flashlight

e.g. "Turn the flashlight on"

e.g. "Turn the flashlight off"

Google

e.g. "Google kittens"

e.g. "When is Thanksgiving next year?"

e.g. "Find directions to San Antonio"

Joke

e.g. "Tell me a joke"

e.g. "Knock knock!"

Modes

e.g. "Normal mode"

e.g. "I'm driving"/"Driving Mode"

e.g. "Good night"/"go into Night mode"

e.g. "School Mode"

Some modes are activated by calendar events, time of day, etc... check the profiles and individual mode tasks for more info.

e.g. "Call me Tyler"

News

- New!

e.g. "What's in the news?"

e.g. "Is today a holiday?"

Requirements

AutoNotification Pro

SecureSettings

Tasker 4.2 or higher

Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher

A relatively good understanding of Tasker

Highly Recommended

SVOX Classic Victoria voice

Root access

Change Serif font to a lighter font, such as Segoe WP Light (search Font Changer on Play Store; backup before doing this; root needed)

TelsaLED (for Flashlight to work)

Important Notes

You must rename or delete all profiles and tasks from the previous version of Victoria in order for this to import correctly.

Unless you change the Serif font on your device (see "highly recommended" list above), Victoria will use a serif font (such as Times New Roman) on most things. Installing the new font was my workaround to use a different font on Tasker.

Pent has said that the next update will allow different fonts. I promise, as soon as this update is released, I'll immediately update Victoria so this problem doesn't exist!

Please report all bugs (or questions, comments, and suggestions) to me via email by tapping "Log" at the bottom of the setup screen.

Screenshots

Installation

Installing should be much easier this time around, because it now automatically downloads the required icons and text files to the appropriate locations!

Note: If you have an older version of Victoria, you MUST clear all of its data before downloading!

Step 1: Read the Important Notes section above

Step 2: Download Assistant.prj.xml

Step 3: Ensure Tasker is NOT in Beginner Mode (open Preferences)

Step 4: Tap on the house icon at the bottom of the screen

Step 5: Tap "import"

Step 6: Choose Assistant

Step 7: Run the task named "Assistant"

Important: You should run this from outside of Tasker (like from a shortcut on your homescreen, etc.)!

Step 8: Place shortcuts and stuff on your home screen and elsewhere for quick access!

Download Victoria 2.5

(Tasker uses XML files, so file will not download just by clicking; right-click and choose "Save As")

Download Icons.zip (ONLY if you get an error during setup)

If you must download Icons.zip, extract it, then place every icon in Tasker/.icn/Icons. Move the "Notes" folder to the directory Tasker/Dropbox (or whatever %Storage is. If %Storage is not set, use Tasker/Dropbox).
