I'm finally replacing my dell inspiron 600m with a shiny lenovo x61. the x61 comes with *shudder* vista, so i want to downgrade to xp. Problem? the x61 has no cd drive. my plan is to replace the hard drive of the 600m with the x61, install onto the x61 hard drive, and then replace back into the x61.

Would there be any problems with this? Baiscally, i'm just doing a clean install of xp onto the x61 hard drive. Are xp installs dependant on hardware? I would just use the generic drivers that are installed with xp.

In case you wanted to know, here are my x61 stats

Core 2 duo- 2.2ghz 800mhz FSB 4mb L2 cache

2gb DDR2-5600 RAM

12.1' XGA screen

120gb 5700rpm HDD

Lenovo wireless abg

Intel X3100 integrated graphics

Crappy size appropriate sound card and speakers

I got it for $850, i saved $600. Coupon codes ftw! </bragging>
[Off-topic] StashCompInc:
it wont work, the second you put back the hdd in your x61 it will BSOD . Because of the different drivers of the different drivers, your best bet is to get a external USB CD/DVD drive and use it with the x61 to install windows.
[Off-topic] fzzyrn:
i thought the hard drive access drivers were generic to some extent
[Off-topic] Mark Crouch:
I agree......spend some of the $600 you saved on a USB CD+DVD/RW drive - you're bound to need it at some point ;)

Moving drives between machines is a bit of a black art - sometimes it will work (and you'll just need to reinstall all the hardware specific drivers) and other times it will BSOD or just hang part way into the boot. Can you not borrow a USB CD drive from someone/somewhere just to install XP with (and to use to copy the CD contents to the hard disk - or at least the "i386" folder - you KNOW you'll need it again :))?

That's just my opinion - IMHO it would be so much quicker to install in place rather than messing about for hours/days doing it some other way....

Mark.
[Off-topic] fzzyrn:
eh ok, i'll get one. good point about my $600 lol.

A core 2 duo will install wayyy faster than a dothan anyway.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
I made a Tasker profile that will basically make the 2nd screen flash, "New Text Message" every 6 seconds until you turn the screen on. The idea for this is that you can now have something noticeable from a distance to alert you that you have a new message.

Let me know if it helps anyone.

*This won't work with 3rd party messaging apps like Tango or Whatsapp.*

How to use:

Download Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm

Download the zip and extract it to your internal SD/Tasker/profiles

Open Tasker.

Make sure Profiles tab is active, and tap the tab again. Choose Import. Choose Flash_New_Text.

UPDATE:

Missed Call version:

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RiNo808:
Awesome, will this work with GoSms, and could you make one for missed calls?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leyvatron:
Thank you for this.

Maybe we can think a few ways he can make different ones for different notifications.

For example: if we get a text, we see the text message popup. If we get an email, the second screen cycles through each second window shortcut.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ajamer:
Tasker can do that without root? Great
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Beherrschen:
I believe this simply adds a notification and then deletes it after 3 seconds. New notifications appear in the second screen.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] seawolf823:
downloaded tasker but it did not create a tasker folder in the internal storage
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragion:
Thanks for the app.

Not sure if it is working correctly...sort of new to this.

Confirmed that the Flash New Text is switched on in Profile

Thunderbolt icon displaying in taskbar

Received text...nothing.

Can you help me...step by step will be greatly appreciated.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] leyvatron:
Open Tasker and play with it a little but don't change anything. It will create a folder.

Sounds like you have it. Try rebooting your phone.

Are you using the stock messenger app?

When you receive a text with the main screen off, the second screen flashes a "new text message" notification. It flashes every 3 seconds.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragion:
Working...
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
I can't answer the GoSMS question, but it's unlikely to work unless GoSMS completely replaces the system's text messaging service.

I updated the original post with a missed call version.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
The only notifications that Tasker will allow are for successfully sent SMS messages, new SMS (and/or MMS), and missed calls.

Technically, you can make it work with apps like Tango and Whatsapp, but you'd need Tasker plugins that will allow Tasker to recognize that you received a message. To do this, it would mean that you'd need to create a version for each and every type of messaging service (if there's an available plugin). It's a lot to do and I can't even test them all. :(
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
Sure can! There's still live its without root, but I think since Lollipop, Tasker can do so much more without root.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
Your normal text message notification does still appear. This creates a separate notification that appears and disappears, causing the 2nd screen to pulse a message that says, "New Text Message." Once the main screen turns on, this pulsing notification simply ends and vanishes. If the main screen is off, and you get a NEW text, it'll start up again.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
Create the folders in your internal SD directory.

So create a "Tasker" folder and inside that, a "profiles" folder.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
Here's a test version for third party apps like Whatsapp, Tango, etc.

You can try this one if you use a third party text messaging service and the original profile I made doesn't work with that app.

THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT THIS WILL WORK RIGHT, OR EVWN WORK AT ALL!

http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58163c2cbb678/3rd_Party_Texts (EXTRACT ME).zip

To use this, you MUST do the following after importing the profile:

1) Expand the "3rd Party Texts" profile by tapping on "3rd Party Texts." It's expanded if you can see the On/Off toggle.

2) tap the trophy icon

3) tap the rocket ship

4) select your text messaging app

4.5) Leave the rest alone.

5) Press the back button

6) See if it works

Note: Only 1 app will work per this profile. If you use multiple 3rd party apps (Tango AND Whatsapp for example), long press the "3rd Party Texts" text, press the "A" icon in the upper right and rename the profile to something else (ex: Tango), then import the "3rd Party Texts" profile again. Repeat steps 1-6 above, but with your second app.

Repeat everything as many times as necessary.

Thanks for this. Very clever. I added an icon and then edited a second copy for missed calls.

Sites the icon flash, instead of the text "new text message"? And I think you have to take off the private message settings...

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ElBeaner:
Tried this with Textra, unfortunately it is not flashing

Also tried the Missed call one and it's not flashing on that either. I'm currently streaming music and that icon is there so not sure if that's causing an issue.

When I pull the notification shade down, it says Tasker profile active none even though both of them say on in Tasker.

I have admin turned on and accessibility service turned on for Tasker as well.

EDIT

I fixed the Textra one- basically you have to turn off the "Screen on" option in Textra otherwise that triggers the screen on portion of the Text tasker item.

Still haven't figured out why the missed call one isn't working - at first I thought maybe the initiate time frame was too short so I upped it to 10 sec, but even that isn't triggering the flash.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragion:
Added both the NEW TEXT and MISSED CALL profiles to mine.

I haven't tested out the MISSED CALL yet, but it should work exactly like the NEW TEXT.

I have both set to ON.

Does this app Tasker effect the battery life since it is always on and detecting for messages?

Thanks again for your hard work in creating this...greatly appreciated.

How did you do that?

Can you please explain...newbie here.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ElBeaner:
Also wondering if you know of a way to use Tasker to display battery percentage on the screen when the screen is off. I'm sure there is a way - I tried using your profiles as a guide to do it, but didn't work.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Beherrschen:
Sorry but I'm not quite sure what you are asking.

I simply imported the profile. Edited the profile and task to flash for a missed call instead. Then i imported it again and left it just for sms. I then decided to add an icon to both so that it flashes the text with a little icon next to it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
Just an FYI:

Yes, as soon as the screen turns on, the Tasker profile stops, so yes, that setting in Textra would basically cancel out the script.

Not sure what's going on with the missed call one since it's the same script as the text message AND the 3rd party message scripts, but just set to pick up on missed calls instead. I wonder if it needs a waiting period between the time the missed call is recognized and the time when the 2nd screen flashing begins. Again, since the script will stop once the screen is turned on, maybe after Tasker catches the missed call variable, the screen is still on and Tasker doesn't run the script because of that.

Or maybe, once the called is missed, the screen shuts off, but if a voicemail is left, the screen turns on for a moment, thus cancelling the script? Can someone confirm this? I only have my cell phone and no other line to test with by calling my V20.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
Very little, if any, battery drain. I use Tasker for many other things and it doesn't even appear in the battery usage list. I also got a text message and didn't turn the screen on for an hour (so my script was running on the 2nd screen), and still no battery drain.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
I'm pretty sure you can display a notification that can give the battery percentage in it's text, but it may need root (not sure). So basically,bit would be a notification in the notification shade that you can make say something like, "Battery: [battery_percentage]."

The problem is that the 2nd screen only shows 2 notification types:

1) An icon from a notification

2) The text of an incoming notification

1 isn't possible with what you want and using Tasker. Tasker, AFAIK, won't allow icons like this.

2 would be possible (as long as root isn't required by Tasker in order to grab the current battery percent variable), but may be annoying. It would constantly flash "Battery: [battery_percentage]" on the 2nd screen every X seconds (or minutes).

UPDATE: No root needed, but yes, only a notification can be made. (Which mean the notification can be made and canceled in a loop in order to flash on the 2nd screen).

In my test, the text I used is, "Current battery is %BATT." %BATT is a predefined Tasker global variable.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ElBeaner:
I'm thinking there needs to be an extended period of time before Tasker should pick up the missed call variable since the screen is still on. That's what was causing my Textra one not to run was because the screen was on when the text was received.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragion:
No Go on the "MISSED CALL"

Phone doesn't go back to sleep for it to display...lockscreen comes on after call.

Unless there is a way to prevent the phone from turning on after the call, this one won't work. :(
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RiNo808:
Care to share the batt% profile? Thanks in advanced...

Sent from my LG-H910
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
Try this one for the Missed Call and let me know how it works. This version acts like this:

Call is missed

Tasker activates profile

Tasker waits 1 minute before flashing anything on the 2nd screen

After 1 min, the flashing begins as long as the screen is turned off and the 1 min wait period doesn't happen again.

If the wait period must be increased, it can be.http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5817e6ccd4c18/Flash_Missed_Call V2 (EXTRACT ME).zip
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
Here is a flashing battery % profile.

It actually works better than I thought it would. I have it flashing every 10 seconds. Best part, is that you can still use the other flashers I made and they'll all still show up.

While working on this, I realized just how fast Tasker picks up on the screen on/off state. This battery flasher wouldn't work until I added a wait period at the very beginning (5 seconds). So this kind of makes me think that the issue with the missed call flasher is definitely the lack of a wait period before doing anything. (So the V2 should deco I felt work now!)

EDIT: Forgot the link T_T

Not sure if I did it correctly, but I downloaded and installed the V2 MISSED CALL.

I deleted the original folder from the Profile.

I went into the TASKS tab and changed the "Wait" to 1 minute.

Glad to say...it works!

So far I have all three profiles installed and they are working as designed.

My only question is...can the font message be enlarged?

Mine is tiny compared to the Date & Time.

It's the a way to flash an icon instead of text? (new text message)

Sent from my LG-H910
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
No to the larger text. I can't control font size unfortunately. :/

(I was wanting it bigger too). If you change system font size though, the flasher's size will change too.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
Can't flash an icon. Sorry.

Edit: Actually, yes and no. Yes, you CAN flash an icon, but there needs to be at least a notification title. No, the icon cant be tappable (like a shortcut), and it can't be something with data, like the battery %.

Go to the task created by the profile (it is called flash), open it, then tap on the 'notify' step (3rd one i believe) and then inside that step you can tap on the blank square in the icon section to choose an icon.

First time using this tasker app complete newbie.

Ive opened the app and not sure how to create profile. Any dummies guide would be appreciated
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Beherrschen:
Did you download the profiles in the OP?

If so then unzip them in the location mentioned in the OP then import it by going to the profile tab and then tap on the profile tab again to get a pop-up menu and choose import.

To make your own profile you must first create task(s) that you want done in certain situations (like turning your phone on vibrate or turning the media volume up). Then create a profile that will run those tasks given certain states of your phone (like connecting to a certain Wi-Fi or plugging in a headset).
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] riz157:
Thanks I think that worked. 2nd screen stays lit up whereas before it was very dim. It doesn't really flash but 2nd screen remains constantly on, is that how it's meant to be? I read other messages and it's been mentioned to flash for certain seconds only.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
It doesn't literally flash. It repeats (aka flashes) "New Text Message" as words on the 2nd screen.

I explain this in the first post.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
If you want to make custom profiles, Google "Tasker Tutorial." There are plenty of guides on the internet already.

A basic understanding of programming pseudocode or "If this, then that" is recommended.

i couldn't get this to work on my att lg v20. i did all kinds of things to try to get the icon and pull down notifications to not show and think i messed something up.

i may try again, i just dont want anything in my pull down and i hate that icon on top bar
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] spexwood:
The icon and Tasker notification (not talking about the one in my script, but the actual Tasker ones) can be hidden in the Tasker settings.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] slickdaddy96:
Until they introduce VoLTE on Sprint no Sprint phone that has all of the LTE bands in it will be able to do simultaneous voice and data and VoLTE is not a priority for Sprint right now. So you either gotta move back to something like the Note 3 and get less LTE coverage or leave Sprint to get what you want.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Boris1M:
Mine does, but only when connected in 4G. And I believe advanced calling needs to be activated for it to work.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CharlzO_2000:
To echo above, the simultaneous works fine on the V20, even stock out of the box with no changes, but you have to be in a 4G LTE area to do it. If you drop to 3G, you lose that ability. Pretty sure it was the Thunderbolt that last had the option to do both in a 3G area , as was mentioned earlier. Only thing that I haven't tested, is switching. And by that, I mean, if you're in a 3G area on a call, and enter a 4G LTE coverage, if it'll pick that up while within the call, or if you have to hang up before it will switch over. My S6 wouldn't do it, and I really don't expect the V20 to either. Probably something with how the data is "turned off" in a manner when the call is made, so it probably isn't even actively hunting for a data signal until the call is over. I live in an area where I bounce between nothing, 3G, and 4G on my way to work, so I always had to make sure to toggle airplane mode off and on if I was just coming out of a spot where I was still picking up 3G but knew there was 4G there, so the phone would grab the better signal coming in, and then make my phone call to keep the data. So far, the V20 seems to be a touch quicker than my S6 was in the 3G/4G switchover though.
