I need to install first a custom firmware ?

Just tells how to falsh custom firmwares, how do i do to install darkys rom for exemple ?

Well the simple answer is look at page one of Darkys posts where oddly enough the instructions are written as how to flash his rom .

Bit of advice dont flash until you really understand what you are doing unless you want to join the IBSGS club short for i bricked my galaxys an now it does not work .

Shouldn't that be IBMSGS club? :D

This is becoming way too common. Flashing before reading.

I dont want to brick my phone, if that happens i will cry like a b*** xp I will do step by step :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenplex:
You should look out for Darky's ROM, best ROM out there! It makes your SGS so damn fast :p

They even have a great step by step tutorial on how to root/flash your SGS. Don't have the link by hand, you should look out for it ^^

One advice: Never ever flash the official 2.2 Update from Samsung. My phone was nearly turned complete useless because I had since then terrrible performance problems...
[Android Themes] eizonuts:
thanks for the guide! this is wayy shorter than the other variants

i think a couple images are missing though

I appreciate you posting this.. always looking for new ways to use Tasker.. I've only scratched the surface so far..

Thanks guys! Ill add more pictures too

Do you have any other cool things you've done with Tasker?

Ive only used it for sms but you can use it for weather, call count, battery, just about anything

Great TUT, thank-you very much! :-)

No problem :)
[Android Themes] Loam1990:
Hi,

Awesome, I will try !!

Edit : I succeed everything, only one. When I go in Minimalistic, I create my own, and in my homescreen there is : "SMS : " but no 0 with ..

Have you got any idea?

( I am so sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand..)
[Android Themes] akoe:
Try going into your sms app and then hitting home or back
[Android Themes] Loam1990:
Nothing happens :(

I don't understant, I did like you said :(

In minimalistic, it's writing : "SMS[LOCTV]
[Android Themes] akoe:
Did you set LOC to %MNMLMSGCOUNT?
[Android Themes] Loam1990:
In "Variable Name" ? I did..
[Android Themes] crachel:
Great post!
[Android Themes] akoe:
Hmm im not sure. With the app profile make sure your variable is set "To 0"
[Android Themes] Loam1990:
It is in "To 0"...

Maybe I found the problem ! Tasker says me "no profil active", is it the problem ? How can I active my profil ?

Sorry for all my questions :(
[Android Themes] akoe:
Haha its alright. Make sure all your profiles are checked on the right and in the bottom right make sure the on is green like so:

Then hit apply and it should work fine
[Android Themes] Loam1990:
I don't understand, everything looks good, but nothing happens ! I don't understand :(
[Android Themes] akoe:
Do you have a task killer running? Im not sure if it matters with tasker but i always set it to "ignore"

Our next option - post your screens of your tasks from the task edit menu

[Android Themes] thedesolatesoul:
Nice work akoe...i like the direction this is heading in :)

Loam1990,

You need to break down what actually isnt working

First find out if the context is being triggered, then find out if the task is working, then find out why the variable isnt reaching minimalistic text

...and easy way to do this is go into the tasks you made for clearing the count, and press the 'Test' button at the bottom

If it works it means your tasks are fine and your context is wrong

otherwise your context is right but your tasks/variables are wrong

anyways...just wanted to post my screenshot too :D
[Android Themes] oidrtybtrd:
I've have the latest versions of Tasker and Minimalistic Text. I've gone through the tutorial multiple times and still no succuss. I can't even get the zero to show up. Any thoughts?
[Android Themes] oidrtybtrd:
Nevermind....it finally worked. The 0 didn't show before, but after i finally got a text, the count when to 1. Thanks.
[Android Themes] cruxiality:
Hi, I followed your tutorial and I am having a slight problem which I hope you can help me with.

After I created the two profile to receive msg and also reset the count, the counter does work and it's reflected on my lockscreen IF I clicked 'test' inside the tasker.

However, after I apply it and go back to use my phone as per normal. I realize that the sms count isn't reflected when I receive my sms. Only after I go back to the tasker and test the profile again then the counter on my lockscreen will display the correct count.

Any idea what I did wrong?
[Android Themes] c8503:
Get more friends :)

Using bionic: seem to have an issue with the %MISSEDCALLS - entering the Dailer (application context is set to) doesn't clear the missedcall counter. Tried with both Do Math ON and OFF.

SMS counter works perfectly, also got the %SMSRN (Text From Name) and %SMSRB working in MT which is so slick on the lockscreen (go WidgetLocker).

Workaround for SMS content/from bug:

One problem I saw someone on this thread run into: they had success when a text came in, but when subsequently 'clearing' the text values in Tasker/MT ("Variable Clear" task in Tasker) the message from and message body variables (defined as %MSGFROM and %MSGCONTENT in my setup) gave "%MSGFROM" and "%MSGCONTENT" in MT.

To get around this just change Variable Clear --> Variable Set and set the value to a space (like spacebar / " ").
[Android Themes] jt122333221:
I fail at this. I have the tasker profiles set up like this:

Event > Received Text. Tasks:

1. Variable Set > % MSGCOUNT to %MSGCOUNT + 1

2. Minimalistic Text variable settings > %MNMLMSGCOUNT = %MSGCOUNT

App > Text Messaging. Tasks:

1. Variable Set > %MSGCOUNT to 0

2. Minimalistic Text variable settings > %MNMLMSGCOUNT = %MSGCOUNT

I've also tried App > Text Messaging & Messaging with the same tasks... but I never see the actual SMS counter come up. I have Minimalistic Text set up like this:

Static Text | Locale Variable

It should say:

SMS:%MSGCOUNT

Anyone have any ideas with what's going wrong? Also... If it makes a different.. I'm on a Droid BIONIC - no root (otherwise I'd take screenshots).
[Android Themes] arcticreaver:
Local variable should be %MNMLMSGCOUNT not %MSGCOUNT
[Android Themes] th3taman:
Thanks to the OP for this thread! Helped me ton and allowed me to learn more about Tasker and how to use it with Minimal Text Widget!
[Android Themes] th3taman:
I cannot get the Variable Clear to display anything other than %MSGCOUNT. I also tried the "space" method and the count doesn't update to 1 when I receive a new text. It just stays clear. Anyone have any ideas? :confused:
[Android Themes] gpawel:
I have some problem: I set all options, but minimalistic text always show "1". I added Variable Set: %MSGCOUNT to 0 (with Do Math) and nothing :(

Any ideas?
[Android Themes] gverges:
First, thanks a lot for this tut, it's amazing, and worked in a fantastic way for sms. But I'm having problems making the widget for missed calls, it doesn't show anything. Could you help me? I did the whole tutorial changin "missedcall", but nothing happens. Please, could you make a step-by-step? I think my mistake is in the choice of the apps.

Thanks again, and have a agreat day!
[Android Themes] mcangeli:
In tasker, under tasks, select the clear SMS task. Press and hold on the first line and select Insert.

Add a variable clear and set the variable to %MSGCOUNT and click ok.

Then try and run it and see if that works
[Android Themes] r29:
Did you add plugin for your clear sms task?

You need a plugin variable %MNMLMSGCOUNT after your clear sms.

As for %msgcount anyone figure out fix this.

Missed Call on Android 4.0.4 (ICS)

Hi Guys,

Do you know if it is possible on Android 4.0.4 ICS? I believe not. But when which Context do I have to choose?

Thanks and best regards

Got same issue on my Atrix when the Dialer profile could not be triggered. Any solution so far?
[Android Themes] NachoB:
I was able to get missed calls, Gtalk unread, and the built in Mail (not Gmail) unread working (somewhat).

One problem I'm having to work out is that for Mail the counter is increasing when I send a message as well. Will probably have to build in a filter of sorts to ignore items generated by me.

[Android Themes] darkshoot:
Hello, i've got a problem ...

Everything is set up right (i verified like 3 times), but in minimalistic text, nothing show, i've got my static text "SMS :" and there's nothing in the variable ...

I have 2 profiles, "unread sms" with set variable %MSGCOUNT to %MSGCOUNT + 1 (do maths), and plugin > mnml, %MNMLMSGCOUNT = %MSGCOUNT

The other, with set variable %MSGCOUNT to 0 do maths, and then plugin > mnml, %MNMLMSGCOUNT = %MSGCOUNT.

In minimalistic text, i wrote %MNMLMSGCOUNT in local variable, but there's nothing ...
[Android Themes] NachoB:
And you set it up as Event -> Phone -> Received Text?

What app are you using for Messaging?
[Android Themes] darkshoot:
Yep, i set it up this way.

I'm using the stock sms app from Huawei (i've got a Huawei Honor)

EDIT : when i open sms app, tasker says that my sms profile is active, but when i recieve an sms, it don't say that the other profile is active...
[Android Themes] NachoB:
Two things you can try, the first will show you what Tasker is doing, if anything, when your %MSGCOUNT + 1 task is ran.

In your current Task for counting messages, add the following Alert (click on the Plus):

Once done, and back at the Task Edit screen click on the blue Play arrow which will display a popup of what Tasker executed. In theory, It should increase by 1 each time you click on the Play arrow. If that is working, then I'm guessing you'll have to set up your configuration differently.

Give this a try for setting up your counter profile if your current one still isn't working.:

Add a new Profile (click on the Plus in the Profiles tab (name it if you like) and add a new Event -> UI -> Notification -> Choose your messaging app in the Notification window.

And then make your Plugin connection to Minimalistic Text, which you seem to have done correctly but I'll post screen caps anyways:

If you like, you can add the Flash mentioned in the beginning to see what happens when the profile is executed.

I think that's everything. Hope this works for ya. :fingers-crossed:

Apologies for the long post and all the screen caps. :D
[Android Themes] darkshoot:
Thanks a lot for your help, but it still wont work ...

Even on the open sms app profile and in the one that you told me to do flash don't popup anything...
[Android Themes] NachoB:
Do you use Google Talk?
[Android Themes] darkshoot:
Nope, stock sms app from Huawei
[Android Themes] NachoB:
Oh okay. I was going to say you could try to set up Google Talk using the notification configuration I mentioned earlier.

Try configuring your email then I guess (following the Profile instructions based on responding to a notification).

Trying to find others options for you to try..
[Android Themes] darkshoot:
Ok, i'll give this a try.

(I already tried chomp sms with the first method, didn't worked, but i'll try with your second methodn and with gtalk)
[Android Themes] NachoB:
Forgot to tell u to follow this post when setting up Gtalk.

[Android Themes] NachoB:
I installed ChompSMS to test, and I was able to get the counter working. Let me know if you're not able to and I'll upload my profile for you to test.
[Android Themes] darkshoot:
Ok, thanks, but how do you set up the 2 profiles for gtalk since they're like gmail's profiles ?

Wich context should i choose ? Event, and new message?
[Android Themes] NachoB:
Set it up to Notification. You could follow the instructions I provided previously, difference being you'll have to perform an export/import mentioned in the post I last referenced on how to get Gtalk counter to work.
[Android Themes] darkshoot:
I absolutely don' t know what's happening, but i can't even import the modified xml file ...

When i click on the data button, i can only erase, save, or do a restauration ...

I had trouble finding that too. You have to tap+hold on the Profiles tab up top to get the import option. Or Tasks if u want to import a Task, etc.

New to android, just installed tasker, installed minimalistic last night.

Between my girlfriend and work, obviously havent had much time to play with them.

Did some searching, read the TUT's, followed it without a problem.

Tasker is enabled in accessibility.

Tested it after i completed the example for text, didnt work.

Double checked the variables, all is as it is in the example.

On another thread i found a user trying to do exactly the same thing who also experienced problems.

His last comment is;

Tried that, didnt work either.

Any suggestions?

HI,

I hope my question is intopic:

I want to make a little more complicated use of tasker starting from this tutorial.

I have 2 android systems: a phone and a car dash.

When I am in my car, the two systems connect via Bluetooth.

What I want to do: display on my car a set of informations from my phone (Battery level, nr. of SMS, email, missed calls, GSM signal ...) and refresh them every minute or at need (incoming SMS for example -> push new value to my car)

I can install Minimalistic Text in my car dash because it can display tasker variables, but I need to know how to pass all the values from my phone (I already have Llama on it, or I need another tasker?) to my car.

Any idea?
[Android Themes] Cruiser_541239:
There is a way tasker can make an intent broadcasting over the BT connection? Or a BT intent itself with extra data in it that can reach the connected device?

Sorry if this has been asked, don't mean to spam, but would you do the exact same steps for calls or emails? I'd like to have those also.
[Android Themes] newtsevo:
Great walkthrough! One question. If i set up tasker to do email, i assume i just change the variable to something like %mnmlemailcount. But how do i set up the first step for new email? I use k9 and i tried selecting K9 under third party apps and changed my variables to mnmlemailcount etc and matched it step for step to the sms walk through and it doesnt work. should i keep the variables the same? also can i use gmail set up like this as well? Sorry for the questions, i tried first but i cant figure it out. Sms works great though!
[Android Themes] akoe:
Ill update the tut soon, possibly tomorrow with the variables needed for call and email. I believe email shouldnt technically be working but im going to experiment more

Temperature in minimialistic text? Its the temperature (F°) under weather

ok thats what i figured. just displays a .... instead of the temp. plus the counter doesnt seem to want to work. doesnt display a 0 or anything. still havnt gotten the widgetlock app to work either.
[Android Themes] akoe:
Tut updated with variables for missed call count. Same steps for unread text count just different variables and 2nd profile context found on bottom of tut
[Android Themes] Pat123:
Well, great tutorial. But the only problem as I see (correct me if am wrong) is that it is assumes that the messages are read as soon as I exit the SMS application. Say for example, I have 3 unread messages. I open ChompSMS, read 2 of them and exit the app, wouldn't it result in incorrect count?
[Android Themes] ayhaadam:
Great tut! Thanks!!

My Setup

The 2 is SMS Count

Miss Call Count is on the left side

If Count = 0 then make it invisible (Variable Clear in Tasker)

:D
[Android Themes] bobbytables:
AFAIK that's how all those counters work. E.g. SMS Unread Count jumps back to 0 once you opened your SMS app. It's an incorrect count but I kind of doubt that there would be another one. To get the correct value we would need an interface to the SMS app (and there are quite a few different apps) to get its internal counter.
[Android Themes] akoe:
Great look :) its pretty sweet. Im gonna add that to the tut
[Android Themes] ayhaadam:
Cool.

After adding static text...
[Android Themes] akoe:

So there's definitely no way to get a notification like this for my work email through Touchdown or the native Corporate Sync?

Minimalistic Text + Tasker + Ringleader?

So.. this is very nice!

I was hoping you could help me with a non-sms related widget.

I would like to have the current Ringleader profile and current SettingsProfiles profile shown in a widget w/Minimalistic Text, but I haven't the faintest idea how to set this up. I've searched the interwebs and tried other methods that were listed, but nothing has worked. Where I think the problem is that I have no idea how to write the %variable for current ringleader/settingsprofiles profile :(

Any help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated!
[Android Themes] thedesolatesoul:
I havent ever used Ringleader...Minimalistic text can only take tasker/locale variables...

so you need a way to send the Ringleader profile name to tasker

For that you need to contact the Dev of ringleader and ask him if that can be done

he can either create a plugin, or even just broadcast the profile name

using sms success doesn't seem to be working, tho sms receive works
