Hey guys,
I have been using Tasker for a while now, and I really love it.
I just have one problem that I can't seem to figure out.
I want it to kill eBuddy when I'm near my house, and want to run it when I leave my house.
Now, I have the following profile already set up:
If location (home) --> Kill app (eBuddy).
But, how can I make it turn ON eBuddy when I leave house? So, If location (not home) --> Run app (eBuddy).
Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance!
Is all this time and effort really easier than just pressing a shortcut?
You are bucking the trend my friend, most people are obsessing about stopping apps running lol

I'm just asking if it's possible, and if so, how?

The Kill doesn't work for me in Tasker - need to somehow "logout" ...
I would imagine it requires an app that needs superuser access, but I haven't been able to find one. The
short press of the
Search button is useless since your can achieve the same thing by holding down the menu key.
any suggestions?

Holding down the menu key you get the keyboard. Its quite useful in emulators too.

i actually looked into it, and figured it out myself. made a flashable zip too for those who want it. my search key is now my dedicated camera button. but i lost the ability to long press search for voice search....meh i never used it that much anyway
How did you go about it? Im trying to restore the default behavior of the search button. TIA
There is an app called Button Remapper in the market. If you can't find it, let me know and ill upload it for you. It is free and requires root though.
Thanks woodrube... I searched the market and no luck. I am rooted. I installed google search and re installed it via the market. When I hit my search button from the home screen, google no longer opens. Even though I re installed it.
Why I uninstalled it was a rash act of stupidity lol
Otherwise the button works when in an app. I was hoping to restore the default behavior.
Do you have voice search? May have to download it first

I do have voice search and press + hold brings it up. Im thinking about just re-flashing my rom.
Don't need to flash your ROM.
Now that I know it isn't in the market, ill upload it tonight when I get on my PC. It has default settings as well as customized ones too for both short and long presses.
Edit: Here is the ButtonRemapper.apk Should be just what you need to remap the search button back to default.
Woodrube your a life saver! Huge thanks for uploading the file I was just backing up my data and I don't have to flash. Thanks again!
when i turn my phone on, i want to use it straight away. the sgs2 takes an age to become usable due to media scanning which is pointless unless it's just been connected to a PC, then there's all the apps loading in the background which makes the phone unusable until that's all finished.
when i turn it on, it's slow to respond to even the pin entering part. the unlock pattern screen doesn't register at all for 30 seconds sometimes and registers an error meaning you have to wait another 30 seconds to do it again.
short of forcably uninstalling every single app on the phone and not having an sd card in there, how the hell can i make it usable as soon as i unlock it? meaning no scanning, no app loading etc etc etc?
Do you expect to be able to use your pc as soon as you press the power button?
Just have patience...
I kind of understand your problem with the media scanner. It does seem to run unnecessarily a lot of the time. The app problem though is just part of android. You could download an app i think it is called autostarts and you can disable a lot of apps from starting up straight away.

the power button? no. once i hit the desktop - yes. i don't have every single application installed on my PC running itself for no reason. some try to load something but that's what msconfig/services.msc is for.

i tried autostarts but it doesn't stop all apps. the ebay one, titanium backup etc all run by themselves without me doing a damn thing.

booting, not long really. it's the delay in the phone being usable once booted that's the prob. best rom? everyone'll have a diff opinion. we do have CM but i've never got on with their roms. oxygen also was laggy so went back ti criskelo
Rescan media Root, this app can disable media scanning, but I think this phone has pretty fast boot.
it does, it's what happens once it's booted to the homescreen thats the problem.
will try that, ta.
as far as i've heard, the scan disabling only affects the stock player which i don't use.
Up to 30 seconds? ****ing hell. For me boot time takes no longer than 10 seconds from pressing the power button to getting onto my homescreen, from there I can do whatever I want, weather the media scanner is running or not. Just root your device and freeze the media scanner.
i have rooted. i'm guessing it's all the apps being loaded in the background more than anything else.
when i connect via usb, then disconnect - the scanning doesn't impact usability
Can't u disable media scanner?

I want to disable the search button but I don't know how. I have searched for a while and can't find any info. Anyone have any idea. I always hit that stupid thing when I'm texting while laying down and it's annoying. Gotta disable that thing or at least disable it while I'm texting. That would actually be the better route so I can still use the feature because I do actually use it. I just hate how I always hit it and I have to keep closing out of it. Will donate if someone could help me with this.
Thanks.
Hmmmm....I don't know if this device has located the file were we could modify the function of each button yet. I definitely want to know if that could be done without utilizing an app.
Look in /system/usr/keylayout, now there are two files shooter-keypad.kl and qwerty.kl look for key 217 and remove delete the text "search" from both of them, and add CAMERA just like that and you could have camera instead of search, but if you don't want that just leave it blank, let me know if it works for sure, its been awhile and my 3d isn't rooted yet.

what was the application that you installed some days back? also, when the download starts, click and hold on the process in the notification bar, open app info, force stop.

Will the force stop work to disable it forever?? i dont remember what was the app...
and is there any way to completely remove that process?? so it will not download any app automatically forever?
Try following the instructions you've been given.

that is not permanent. you need to force stop it every time you reboot the phone. try uninstalling the apps one by one and reboot phone after every un-installation. possibly cheap rated apps with ad support may cause this.
:good:
Alright. Thanks all for helping me.... im glad that this community is very helpful for all the android users....
Thnx Alot
