    Tasker plugin to show variables in Androids screensaver feature.

    Charles Deens · 0 · Posted

    I use Androids screensaver in combination with the Chronus screensaver plugin to display the time and local weather while my phone is wirelessly charging on a cradle.

    It would be great if a Tasker plugin could be implemented that can show any stored variable on Androids screensaver. You could then have almost limitless options to show any information while Android displays its screensaver.

    If this is feasible, it would also be beneficial to customize the font type, color, size and position.

    Just a suggestion.

    Event context for orientation change

    Ravi Warrier · 0 · Posted

    We have orientation based states, but nothing to allow us to trigger actions based on change in orientation without concerning about what orientation the phone was and currently in.

    This will allow us to react faster to phone being picked up, being flipped, is held, etc.

    Add an action for an extra-long Power Button

    Rebeccah · 2 · Last reply by Bob Thomson

    Tasker has actions for pressing physical buttons and for Long-pressing the Power button , and apparently (but not on my phone with Tasker 5.7.2)) double-tapping the power button and long-pressing the volume control buttons.  What about extra-long pressing the Power button?  On my phone (Droid Turbo 2, Android 7.0), tapping the power button blackens the screen/locks the phone, long-pressing the power button brings up the Power Off screen with only one option, and if you press the power button even longer, the Power Off screen disappears and the phone reboots.  Can this be done without rooting the phone?

    Have a widget that can toggle tasker on or off and tell you if tasker is disabled

    Tyler T · 0 · Posted

    Sometimes I disable tasker for short times in order to hide scenes or do other things to keep tasker from changing certain profiles. I unintentionally then forget that tasker is disabled and wonder why nothing is updating or working only to remember that I disabled tasker. Would be great if tasker had a built in widget that would allow you to toggle tasker on and off and that told you the current status of tasker at any given moment.

    Use regular expressions to define profiles

    Bruno Davi · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When I define a profile I can use matches (eg * + ! /) But I find that very limited.

    Example:

    Profile> State> Net> WiFi Near:

    SSID: Famil+ [...] (But I would like to use it like this) SSID: Famil(y|iar)

    So I can filter much better than using matches. And you can change this search/filter pattern in the profile itself or in preferences.

    Create text image and buffer for use in notification

    There was an app that showed internet traffic by the notification icon and it would also be nice to make animated notifications with the images using image by image.

    add tutorial for most obvious wifi@home task

    schalou · 2 · Last reply by schalou

    There is a very good project at https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/6re2v3/the_last_wifi_automation_profile_youll_ever_need/ and I recommend adding this as an entry tutorial for beginners.

    I think turning wifi on at home is the one task which has the most benefit for most users.

    And a tutorial like this will serve as an example to get users into tasker much easier than explaining things from a programmer's perspective.

    Stumbled upon a task to create table like format in text. Doing the same in ms word or google docs will be a PITA.

    Thanks a ton in advance. Hopefully someone intelligent will be able to do the same as done in the link above.

    Other NFC tools for android have the capability of locking a tag - so it is not writable anymore.

    Remove touch highlight when touching scene element (like an image)

    Ajay · 0 · Posted

    Since the highlight follows the tasker accent, maybe adding a transparent highlight would allow it to be invisible? Or adding a dedicated option would be great.

    Option in Posting Permanent Notification: "Keep Service in foreground"

    Flu Paper · 1 · Last reply by Flu Paper

    Service of Tasker-generated App will not function as expected (being killed) when the memory gets low in my device. Enabling "Run In Foreground" option by running "Set Tasker Pref" action do have an effect on solving it. 🙂

    But my problem, is that the service of my App originally posts a permanent notification which shows its state and is able to receive some actions designed by myself. Having the option enabled makes duplicate notifications. Quite weird I felt. 🤔

    The solution I came up with is adding an option which makes it possible to keep monitor service running in foreground

    App Creation: Default Icons

    Flu Paper · 0 · Posted

    Currently, icon of Tasker-generated apps is defined by the icon of the profile. 

    But an modern Android app is supposed to have more: different icons in different shapes, default icon in quick settings when it haven't been added, and maybe so on.

    That's it.

    Customization of Monitor Notification

    Flu Paper · 0 · Posted

    Looks like it has been put forward already: 1. Can the text in Tasker's notification be customized? 2. Customisable profile banner in notification area I just wanted to ensure its usage and profits are recognized.

    Customize the permanent monitor notification though actions. So that users would be able to design a more personalized one, like CPU info, network speed or so.

    Yes, the effects it bring will not be of importance for Tasker users (since it doesn't matter if notify another permanent notification for them), but benefit the generated apps' developers and users (since it feels weird if a standalone app posts two permanent

    Several feature requests

    1. Remotely executing shell commands or even tasker tasks over internet. Now adb WiFi helps us execute remote shell commands over WiFi only on the same network devices. If the device is in another network, it won't work. We can't use IP as communication as most phones gets dynamic public IP. So if we want to execute remote tasks or shell commands to another device's tasker over the internet, we may need some kind of account authentication or key authentication.

    2. Still now we have to create scenes with fixed dimensions. Which is fine for device with same resolution. But

    P. Vitulli · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have just started a new job and am forced to use a second cell phone. So I now have a cell of work and one for personal. luckily both are running Android but not the same account. What I'd like to do is the following:

    1) Auto-forward SMS messages

    2) Call forward (can be done by cell provider) but want to send SMS notification of the call that came in or VM left in box.

    3) Auto-forward Android notifications from one phone to the other.

    *4) Auto reset audio and screen levels once a day, maybe more if need

    Input tap function percentage values.

    Developerr · 1 · Last reply by Felix

    Hello.

    I want to run the tasks I prepared on multiple mobile devices.

    Do we have the chance to use the input tap function with percentage values instead of X and Y coordinates?
