Hello,you were talking about some missing rom/stock kernel settings and tasker apps so..

Some of them can be set via some scripts [MENTION=4097987]pitastrudl[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] justly made a tasker app to control vibration strength that works perfect.

...well pretty long text coming,better hide it ;)

It gave me will to try to make one that would also controls some others stuffs that are often requested by users like:

_Vibs strength then.

_Turn capacitive buttons backlights off (no built-in option,needs an additional GES4_ButtonLights app for now).

_Disable Home=Wake button.

_Change dpi (no built-in option for now).

All works fine but i got a little lost in Tasker variables and such and finally gave up on the idea of releasing a nice looking and user friendly application lol

Actually the app works fine and looks nice for some parts, where I mostly got lost is into the app keeping last chosen settings visibles when app is exited/killed then relaunched,stuffs like this..

Anyway to give some more details i made exclusive use of shell scripts (not that i master this huh,really.. I just love to Google about it when I need somes ;) ) for the desired values get changed + boot&data persistent.

_Vibs strength: Desired value can be restored at boot and data persistent via the app itself just like Pitastrudl and Kantjer did but I used a /data/local/ userinit script (tasker app create it).

_Disable capacitive buttons backlight: Same story than Vibs. Desired value could be set at boot and data persistent through the app but i also made use of /data/local/ here.

_Disable Home=Wake button: Again a script to switch Home Wake on/off value (+reboot needed). Unlike Vibs and backlights the changed file is under /system (usr) so doesn't need to be written again at boot but won't survives a rom update. Here i'm not sure the tasker app would be active soon enough after rom update/boot for Home Wake Off setting doesn't need an extra reboot to be effective, /data/local/ script does the trick (Home Wake Off persists after rom update without extra reboot..as long as,like with others local scripts, we don't wipe data of course).

_Dpi:About same story than Home button (build.prop under /system so doesn't need to be written again at boot as we all know) ,script again to change dpi value except that persistence is already handled by SlimKat.

As we often see users asking for ways to change these settings,and as it seems there's a few tasker advanced users by here :) ,i guess it would be nice to have.. [hrm..loud voice] one app to rule them all.

So guys (or anyone interested) what do you think if i PM you what i have for now (a working but kinda messy app/project) to see if you can make something better out of it? (or even just grab some of the scripts to totally rework the thing,i don't mind)

Ho,and there's something else that made me give up my tasker app project..

Nameless rom has a built-in Device Control app that exists now as standalone app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.namelessrom.devicecontrol

On SlimKat/stock kernel it offers Vibrations strength and buttons backlight off options.

As not kernel supported some options the app offers may be greyed out/unavailable but there's a bunch of other stuffs that may interest some users by here.
