More Tasker fun

Flick for Smart Remote

A very simple profile linked to the %HOME variable used in Smart Unlock. I use the remote function on this phone while I'm at home A LOT. This makes it convenient and fun. Whenever you're at home, the display is on and in portrait orientation simply flick your wrist in a crack the whip motion and you'll instantly switch to Smart Remote. The addition of the extra variables keeps this from triggering when you don't want it to, ie: not at home, it's in your pocket, or even if you drop it you won't lose your foreground screen unintentionally. If you want to use it differently simply switch the variables to your liking. I personally don't use Smart Remote, Anymote Smart Remote from the Play store has many more features and works fine with the P20 we just aren't a supported device. Also here's a link to the whip sound referenced in the task:

Turn your P20 into a gaming console without switching your default launcher

Needed apps: GameBox Launcher, Ultimate Rotation Control (or any other rotation app that has a Tasker plugin), QuickTask, TouchTask

This is a bit of a hack that can really be done on any phone but works AMAZINGLY well on the P20. GameBox Launcher default is portrait orientation for the UI which annoys me, especially when I have my phone anchored in my gaming controller. This task will force sensor landscape using root, then load GameBox. You lose a bit of functionality in the apps menu, but the gaming menu turns into a proper banner style game launcher with gamepad navigation controls. It takes a few minutes to set up but makes my P20 feel as close to a handheld console as it gets. QuickTask is used to create a custom toggle in the Quick Settings menu, although the native Tasker toggle could be used...it just isn't as pretty. The toggle allows to switch between game mode and normal launcher mode. You could also place shortcuts for the launch and exit tasks on your home screen, same effect. Now why do I call this Game Mode instead of just a launcher hack?.....

The home button override profile will intercept home button presses, kill your home launcher (default in the profile is Nova Launcher) using root, and relaunch a fresh copy of GameBox Launcher as long as you are in Game Mode. It's essentially impossible to access your home launcher the normal way so keep that Exit Game Mode task or toggle handy, and this setting theoretically could survive a reboot so ALWAYS make sure to use the proper exit task. With the override profile enabled GameBox becomes your 'default' launcher without having to actually change your default, making it super simple to switch between games on the fly. When you're done activate the exit task; rotation will be restored to auto, GameBox is killed with root and your home launcher (again, the default in the task is Nova) is launched.

To Use:

- install all of the necessary apps and grant permissions

- import all of the 'Game Mode' profiles and tasks into Tasker.

- in QuickTask create a new tile called 'gamemode' and choose gamepad as the icon. Set this new tile somewhere accessible in your Quick Settings menu.

- create Tasker widgets linked to the launch and exit tasks on your home page.

If everything imported properly the new tile will become your Game Mode toggle and will enable/disable along with Game Mode. The links on the home screen are simply for secondary access. A screenshot of my P20 in 'Game Mode' is below:
