[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_rebel:
To put it simply it helps the same way variables work in any other programming language: you put the string (package name in this case) in a variable once and all the other commands just reference to the variable instead of putting the app package name in each unfreeze/launch/freeze command.

Now once that is done, I can either

1) make copies of the task for each app and just change the package name in one place and all commands will work just fine, or

2) keep a single task that displays a menu of all the app choices and the one I click will be parsed to the variable and the commands will work on it.

Either way, I wouldn't have to define the package or app at several places in the task/script.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
I always love playing with Tasker. It is a truely phenomenal app.

But this is what Greenify was made to do. Why the refusal to use the proper tool for the job? The wheel has already been invented. Why make your own?

You can also use ROM Toolbox to disable the startup receivers of the apps you don't want running on boot. And you can clean out the widget list with it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_rebel:
Yup, another Tasker fan here :D

Greenify doesn't freeze apps, so their icon is is in app drawer, they start as they wish (Greenify snoozes them later, but that's different), and Greenify doesn't launch apps. I use Greenify, but it has a different purpose, it is good for everyday apps - the current requirement I have is for apps that are seldom used and I'd like them frozen/disabled till the time their use is needed.

And disabling startup is only part of the problem solved, some have hooks on net being connected etc and whatnot. And cleaning widget menu is worse, it just hides the problem behind the curtain.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ah I getcha.

Yeah unfortunately you're not going to be able to do that easily. You'd probably have to get clever with grep and logcats, but you'll be puttin so much effort in to make hardly any reductions.

So even if you had variable:

%App1

and could launch it without activity, You have to:

copy the variable to %App2 and enter the package name

copy the task

change the variable reference in the first part of the task (that pm enables)

change the variable reference in the second part that launches the app

That last step is only slightly quicker than manually changing the app in a standard app launch task anyway
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_rebel:
You're kinda right, but I think I'll just have to provide the app once to the task, not at multiple places.

View attachment 2832618

See the screenshot, as of now I'm just defining the app in first command, the rest work fine.

Command 4 and 5 is just me messing around with the current problem, no headway yet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Oh I see. You're setting the variable as the package in the task so you just enter the package once in each task and only have one variable. Bit messy though if you wanted to run 2 apps

Scenario.

Run app1. Apptarget var set

Run app 2. Apptarget var set

Meanwhile task for app 1 is waiting to terminate app 1 but var has changed so will actually terminate app 2, possibly whilst in use.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_rebel:
Wouldn't the problem be solved if I change the variable to local instead of global? Change name to lowercase and the change is made.

Anyway, that is to be worried about later... the current roadblock is bothering me a lot more at the moment :(

I'd really welcome any ideas on it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Maybe... You'd have to try it.

It's pointless wasting effort busting road blocks if you've run out of fuel though, sometimes it's simplest to check the tank first and work out your variables.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_rebel:
Oh well... I'm rather surprised something like this doesn't exist as an app already. I'd make one if I could!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Really? Doesn't surprise me at all
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rancur3p1c:
I don't think you understand....App Quarantine is not Titanium backup, it's tap and it unfreezes the single app. Tap again and it refreezes it and just it. It doesn't defrost 50 apps and it's a widget on the screen so you don't have to launch any other apps like titanium to manage it. (It doesn't freeze it back without a tap). It's an App Quarantine widget that looks like the app shortcut icon and doesn't disappear when the app is frozen
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_rebel:
Wow, THANK YOU! I think I had checked out App Quarantine earlier, but didn't see its powerful widget feature. I took it as just another app freeze/unfreeze application.

The single app widget with its locked/unlocked overlay is great. It even launches the unfrozen app with that single click just like I wanted. Its perfect!

I have a Problem with the alliance Rom v. 3.5 for the gt-i9305. Everytime I choose a theme like s5 theme or alliance Gold or what ever there happens nothing. I can click on the theme but the next page where I can click on "Install" won't appear.

[General Questions and Answers] TimbeS:
So I bought a Xperia z1, used if it matters, and it is having this issue. When I'm done using WiFi and turn it off, the phone can't use the internet, even though the connection seems to be running (full connection bars, H+ symbol) but no data is able to move whatsoever. This doesn't occur every time though, it may as well work just fine. Yesterday I didn't use WiFi and the mobile connection worked the whole day. It also occurs sometimes when I boot the phone. Turning on/off the mobiledata or the airplanemode might work and get the connection running. Sometimes. This is frustrating as hell. I'm running android 4.4.2

[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
You could boot into recovery and install cwm recovery if your recovery is unlocked. Just use the volume and power keys. Then install ZVC Stock rooted and use FreeGee to relock it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cjay15:
Would that take away the google image everytime my phone turns on?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
When you relock with FreeGee it'll go back to LG logo.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Rmontoya83:
nice thinking engine95

I noticed if I used freegee to unlock my device with the mako unlock. then try and relock and restore it via freegee it don't work. it will soft brick the phone for some reason.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
That is probably because you changed something. If you remove any system apps or make any changes to the system and re-lock it will soft brick. It has to be untainted for the relock to work. That's why you're supposed to make a backup before making any changes and then restore the backup before re-locking the BL.

I came home and after I came home I do what I always do, sync my MDA Vario with the pc.

I don't know what happened, but the left upper button which I use to open my Gmail (and Outlook) email account didn't work.

I soft resetted the MDA Vario, the today screen only showed my appointments, the owner and the date, no email.

I couldn't use the touchscreen

I soft resetted 3 times and the email line appeared again.

The screen worked again, but the left upper button stopped working, in fact, when I try to open the "message" option in the regular program menu, it won't work.

Like it's there, but it't not.

Does this mean I have to hard reset? Or can I edit a CAB file?

Vario is unlocked, nothing weird is installed.

Have/had the same problem with messaging. Same fix as well. Just thought I'd throw that in here for future reference.

I guess, if you have backup software (Windows Backup will work) on your PC, you could always use an SD reader on your PC and backup your SD card regularly. That way if it gets jacked in the future, you have at the very least something to go back to.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magichoward:
Does the note 3 really need an app like clean master to take care of low memory, clean cache etc. As the note 3 is still ahead of the pack are we installing apps we don't need?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soumen.sam:
Note 3 has large internal storage which is not to worry about low internal memory for general purpose. But android is mostly not beloved for many ios and windows phone people for its increased junk files over times (according to my personal view and experience). I have an old galaxy phone with 8-10gb or so internal memory and once in a month it becomes extremely slow due to low internal memory and once cleaned and freeup internal space it runs good again.

So according to me clearing the internal memory and give it good free space makes any phone runs smoother, no lags. I use clean master probably from the start and so far in 3 months it cleaned around 2gb junk files. I really recommend this app. Also it has many other features like antivirus, battery drain features, game boosters etc. It worthful.

[Nokia Lumia 1020] Lobstercat:
The Nokia Lumia 1020 has an amazing camera. For years I had Android phones and had a few favorite camera apps I used. The 1020 uses a different system, "lenses", but really it's the same idea I think. To get an effect like pencil sketch, you need to first download a new "lense" app. My problem is that the lense effects ONLY work on the camera and not the video camera. Does anyone know of a lense effect app that works on the video camera? Or one that works in the ultra high resolution mode? Thus far only the Nokia app works in high res mode, and I have found no effects for the video camera mode which leaves me still occasionally using my Android phone. Any ideas?

Had to take the ota to 4.4.2. and Just recently saw the method of breaking the bootloader open again.

So I went through all the steps, and made a backup of what I thought was going to be my failsafe old system. I formatted everything, excluding internal media and external sd at first. went to flash CM11 and failed.

Now going back into TWRP, I set my mind on fixing this. I go and wipe again, and flash my backup only it failed too!

Now I got to the point of another rom: pac rom, followed in TWRP with the gapps.

Everything installs(so it would seem), however I'm now in WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED bootloop.
