[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Themes and Apps] ProjectER:
The ultimate sync project at least for me

Nice, I'll check out dinamotxt also...

Regarding sms, across tab and phone, you reminded me of a particular project I've been trying to get up and running between the note 8 and S2...its usese tasker.

I already know tasker can be used to automate and send commands across android devices using autovoice and autoremote but these usually require internet and an online website html web page...

I'm trying to get my S2 to dish out commands to the note 8 while it's in may bag..

Scenario 1 (tried and it works/but really just a proof of concept):

1) I will call the note 8 with the phone...

2) This will trigger bluetooth on which will connect to the S2

--blue tooth is already triggered on the S2 when I called the note 8 (automatically via a tasker profile)

or

2) wifi or AP will be triggered on both divices so they can connect instantaneously (all simply by calling the note 8, again all automated with tasker on both devices)

3)an sms messaging app connecting tablet and phone is also simultaneously triggered. I use sms tablet lite. (works fine so far but I'll give dinamotxt a try as well ).

4) from there I can tell the note 8 to sms someone using it's own sim card without ever pulling the note 8 out of the bag.

5) tasker will automatically turn off bluetooth or wifi based on a set number of conditions (after a lull time with no commands / change in geolocation or after a second call from the S2)

Scenario 2 (what I hopefully want to accomplish to unleash to full might of tasker)-> this hopefully is done with no internet connection or paid sms

1) call the note 8

2) trigger bluetooth or AP or wifi lan or even wifidirect

3) send tasker commands from the S2 to the note 8...from here on the possibilities are endless....

tasker commands, tasker profiles, tasker scenes....

4) AUTOMATICALLY shut off the connection again via tasker.

Possible solutions: Nonrooted devices:

1) as I mentioned ealrier, all of these can already be accompished via autoremote and autovoice but these all require a working internet connection and an html/url web page on a server somewhere (it's not that I don't trust the autoremote developer who I think is a true genius, it's just that I want it all to run without the internet....)...

2) SMS message: send an sms message from the S2 to the NOTE 8 (the main reason why i got the note 8 3G version was for tasker and not really to make calls)...set up tasker to read the sms message and then take it from there but this will cost money (cheap but still not free). it is a very plausible solution though.

3) send messages to the notification bar.-tasker can read notifications and take it from there

-This is the real dilemma...the best messaging system (LAN or AP without the need for paid sms or internet) I've found that sends messages to the notification bar is IPMSG: it sends the entire "message" leading to very specific commands via tasker.

-the problem is that with the latest jellybean update, the notification panel has become rather complex (it's interactive now with pictures and all). Tasker can no longer distinguish the main body of the notificaiton from the title of the notification...and since the title of the notification for IPMSG is always "new message" that kinda limits me to just one type of command. (tasker now only read the title of the notification)

4) remote widgets:

I read that the sony smart watch has an app then can put widgets on the smartphone directly on the smartwatch. Tasker can trigger commands based on customized widgets. So you can press on a widget on the watch and tasker does the command immediately as if you touched the tablet. I'm trying to look for an app that does the same thing but instead of putting the widgets on a smartwatch, it will put the tasker widget on the S2.

Possible solutions: for rooted device.

1) if you have a rooted device, utter! which I found here on XDA is a possiblity. Utter can make use of google's built in offline voice recognition software and links with tasker, you can voice command the note 8 via the phones-utter->offline-google voice recognition->tasker tablet.

This i haven't done yet...

I'm really interested in fully integrating tasker between the note 8 and various other android devices. I think it is the true defining factor of the complete android experience setting android miles apart from the proprietary mobile OS's. Just wish I could get it to work...hehe...:fingers-crossed:
