[Tasker Tips & Tricks] XlAfbk:
Hi guys,

I recently started using Signal for communicating with some guys and needed a way to be able to send messages from Tasker without requiring any interaction. What I came up with is a way that should actually work for any SMS app that's out there!

There's a service intent "android.intent.action.RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE" that's normally used when you decline a call and chose to send a message to the caller - and unlike all the other intents it doesn't require any user input! However being a service intent it's not possible to call it using Taskers "Send Intent" action but instead one has to use "Run shell" as root.

Task setup:

- Variables -> Variable set: Name: %smsto, To: Receipients number

- Variables -> Variable set: Name: %smstext, To: SMS text

- Add action "Run shell": Use root: Yes, Command:

am startservice -a android.intent.action.RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE -c android.intent.category.DEFAULT -d smsto:%smsto -e android.intent.extra.TEXT "%smstext" org.thoughtcrime.securesms/.service.QuickResponseService

To make sure the event is handled by Signal I send the message directly to Signals service handling these events (org.thoughtcrime.securesms/.service.QuickResponseService) - this can be found by examining Signals AndroidManifest.xml.

If you want to use some other app for sending the message replace "org.thoughtcrime.securesms/.service.QuickResponseService" with your apps service for receiving these intents, just have a look at the apps AndroidManifest.xml and search for the service handling the RESPOND_VIA_MESSAGE action.

Have fun!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] kitkat85:
Great! However I didn't understand why you need run shell. In Tasker you can select the target: receiver, activity or service. Select service and Tasker will send the intent for you.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] XlAfbk:
Nope: "Send Intent: permission denied by Android". Some service intents are restricted to system, so it's either a root shell or making Tasker a system app.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] bogorad:
Does it allow sending 'signal' (whispersync) messages, or just SMS via Signal? Thanks!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] XlAfbk:
it sends it as Signal messages. It's really the same as typing that msg in Signal.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] pedxing128:
Group messages

Thanks for this. It works great! Do you know if there is a way to have Tasker send a message to a Signal group? I've tried using the name of the group as the "smsto" number, but haven't had any luck with that.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] mav75:
I recreated that task. My phone isn't rooted and unfortunately it doesn't work. Is there a way without root sending with tasker signal messages?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] XlAfbk:
No. See 3rd post in this thread.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] TK Studio:
For auto replies on messengers like Signal, it would be easier to just use an AutoResponder app like this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tkstudio.autoresponderforsignal
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] voilsb:
It seems to send a signal message to an individual number. If %smsto="Group Name" it tries to send an unsecured message to the group 😔
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] niko26:
Is there any update on that matter in terms of sending messages zu groups?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] HatchetEgg:
Potentially there is an easier way,

You could use the AutoShortcut app from the same dev as tasker, to do the same thing. @niko26 it can handle groups as well. Although at least for telegram but I have not tried it for signal yet as I will be switching over to that soon.

EDIT: Forgot to mention

You can pair this with Autoinput to handle writing and sending messages.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] niko26:
Does this still work? I've read a few ratings on the play store which mention that it doesn't work with android 10.

Were you already successful with Autoinput?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] HatchetEgg:
That is a good point,

I can confirm both apps still work, I use them at least once a day. The only trouble I have had is the actions timeout. This can be solved by increasing the timeout of the actions.

I am on android 11 by the way.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] niko26:
Care to share some hints or screenshots how to accomplish this?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] HatchetEgg:
View attachment 5470861

@niko26

The 1st action is to make the timeout consistent across all following actions that require it

2nd action makes sure that there is an active connection to the Internet. Will automatically enable data if wifi is off (thinking I might be better off with it if connected to an SSID)

3rd action accounts for, screen off and unlocking the device (can potentially be a security risk!)

4th action load specific chat within the app, in this case, it is WhatsApp and a group chat I selected. Using a plugin called AutoShortcut, see my previous post for link

5th and 6th action uses Autoinput, to write specific text in the group (the sixth one is just an additional one that needs to be sent on some days but not all at a specific time) Autoinput is also used for following actions up to action 8

7th action is to account for the removal of the additional link info that is included in the previous two actions, by clicking on the cancel button.

8th action then clicks on the send button.

9th action is to account for when I am using my device before the task is executed. So it switches back to the app that I was using.

10th action is to turn off data if I am out and about whilst travelling.

11th action, may not be necessary needed, I put it here just in case of the current task continues to run.

I hope this helps!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] niko26:
@HatchetEgg - any chance that you can export this task somehow so I can see all the details?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] niko26:
Glad that you understand it. But I don't. If you don't want to read a thorough explanation just skip reading it. Thx.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nakerenski:
Hi!! I just recently rooted my phone. I heard Safestrap was the only recovery that would work with my sm-n900v. I installed 3.65 saftstrap, with busybox, and selected install recovery. then i hit reboot recovery. Instead of going into recovery, it just rebooted. so, no what. Would like to know what I did wrong or what I need to do to fix this and or another recovery that will work and not trip a security warning when the phone boots and show the yellow triangle of doom as i call it. any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BostonDan:
Safestrap no longer works with lollipop. Flashfire is the only real way to install zips after android 5.0.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoatH3ad:
Yeah I'm having the same problem EXACT problem, feel like I bought this phone for no reason. But, I'm having the idea of downgrading to 4.3 somehow (If it's even possible, Odin maybe?) and installing SafeStrap there, and from there I'll install a custom 6.0 ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
You can't downgrade from 5.x to any version of 4.x afaik.

As the prior respondents noted, Safestrap doesn't work with 5.x.

So it's a non-starter if you are already on OB6 or OF1.

From any root shell it is possible to (manually, using "dd") overwrite the recovery/boot partition with whatever recovery/boot image you prefer, but that will do you no good as unsigned kernels can not be booted unless the bootloader is unlocked. You will simply get your "triangle of doom" if the bootloader is still locked.

From OB6 or OF1, the sequence is:

- get rooted

- get unlocked

- do what you want*

*making sure you never over flash your unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoatH3ad:
Ahh Ok, good to know. But how should I unlock my bootloader, if it's even possible? And by

do you mean to SIM-unlock? Cheers.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Bootloader unlock, not SIM/carrier unlock

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370

Use the binary provided in post #218, not in the OP

It's a good idea to read the entire thread before you dive in.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoatH3ad:
So I downloaded the manual unlocker app the guy (donc113) said i needed, didn't install the app. Then I downloaded his binary (unlock.zip) and put it in /system/bin/ like he said, I also extracted the contents in /system/bin/ as well. I installed the manual unlocker app he provided, ran it twice as he stated I needed to do. Went to ROM Manager by Clockworkmod and went to Recovery Setup, Install ClockworkMod Recovery, Selected my phone, clicked Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Rebooted to Recovery and it still says I need to take the phone to the Verizon store. What exactly did I do wrong? I've done everything Donc113 provided and my bootloader is STILL locked apparently.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Did you:

- Check to make sure your phone CID value starts with 0x15 ?

- Record any error messages that occurred in either of the two runs of the unlocker program?

- Boot into Odin Mode to see if it says "MODE: DEVELOPER" in the last line of text over in the upper left hand side of the Odin/Download screen?

The symptoms you mention sound as if you are rooted, but failed to unlock the bootloader.

I note that you would not be asking these questions if you had read THE WHOLE THREAD as I suggested. Would you prefer that I stop helping?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Gluon2:
Hey guys, I've been waiting to get android M and sense 7 before I root my phone, now I realize that root availability depends on firmware and carrier.

Could you guys please tell me if there's any way to root the One M8 on T Mobile, android M?

It doesn't matter what phone nor carrier. You have root. 2 different ways if your s-on or off. Just search the HTC One M8 thread and you'll find it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Gluon2:
Oh, sweet, thanks! I was confused since I keep seeing some guides that say they're exclusive for like, AT&T m8 or what not.. So I can use any guide for Android M root for M8?

Only way is to S-Off your device with Sunshine

It costs a one time fee of $25 in which it'll Unlock your Bootloader and S-Off. You can then fastboot flash a custom recovery to install SuperSU or a compatible Custom Rom

[Desire 816 General] bhavik0077:
Hello ,

As we all know Desire 816 have received MM OTA update, i have created that backup of TWRP after testing it without any problem or bugs. Its a pure stock rom backup ;)

Details :-

This is a Official Stock Rom Backup - no modifications and not rooted stable .

Supported Model : A5_DWG - Don't know about any other models

Current Mobile version : HTC Desire 816 A5_DWG "India" - Dual Sim

Software version : 3.14.720.1

How to install :- "I am not responsible for bricked devices"

This is not a flashable zip. Its a TWRP backup so just wipe all data and restore

1. Make sure you have TWRP recovery already installed

2. Take backup for all of your data on phone via TWRP (this will create a TWRP folder with your device ID automatically)

3. Download and extract and copy paste the backup to dir EXT_SDCARD/TWRP/BACKUPS/*YOUR DEVICE ID*/backup folder

4. Wipe your Phone (Factory reset) in recovery

5. Restore it via TWRP Recovery

6. Wait until restoration is complete and reboot device.:fingers-crossed:

7. Voila now you are on M6 when rebooted:highfive:

8. Factory reset once rebooted .:victory:

*Note: Folder name of 'Your Device ID' should be replaced with your phone's device ID
