Anyone tried this app yet? It seems to be able to do... um... everything?! Ha! I am interested to see what custom profiles and tasks people have set up in theirs!

You can download a 14-day trial from the developers website:

(it is £3.99 in the market for the full version)
Wow, I would have normally glazed right over this. For some reason I read the articles and this is pretty cool. I started thinking of a bunch of uses for it. I bought it outright. Thanks for the post, moonrock!
Welcome!
I noticed in the wiki or forum (somewhere!) that they were able to set up a profile that remapped the camera button -- I am wondering if this can be used to remap the power button while the camera app is open, maybe?
So I haven't had much time to play with Tasker, but the two scripts I have currently running:
* Silence from 11pm > 8am, simple, but it replaced the other 'profiles' type apps
* Disable screen rotation when in the Kindle app, for whatever reason this isn't an option in the Kindle app itself.
I have it set to turn on my Bluetooth when plugged in and off when unplugged works great!

Fantastic! I need to set up a (again, simple!) task that will turn on bluetooth in the times that I am always in my car (commute to work and home, same time every day) which won't be difficult.
I have Locale already, but this may replace it (gotta love paying for apps to find out another one does 10000x more things! oops!) I've had Locale since first getting my G1 though, so it's gotten plenty of use.
So glad you posted about this app... its amazing..

I have a couple tasks set up. First, I have gps automatically turn on and off when entering and exiting google maps. I also have one that lets me pick input style when I go into or leave remotedroid (swype's backspace doesn't work in it). And I have a couple apps that like to hang around after I close them, so I set them to be killed upon closing.
All in all it's a great app, well worth the $6.

Also worth noting is that it is £3.49 from the developer directly (paypal, via his website) and a larger % goes direct to him that way.
I have it setup for text to speech on SMS messages when my phone connects to my cars bluetooth.
I am trying to find a way to let my replay to said SMS with the voice to text feature or just ignore it. Anyone have any idea how to accomplish that?
Also think it would be cool to have it change my wallpaper based on the weather conditions in my area, but Im not sure how to go about doing that either.

Beautiful Widgets (paid app, couple bucks) and the (free) Beautiful Live Wallpaper. Uses the weather widget to make the wallpaper match the weather
Tasks that I've set up so far:
Silent / dim screen / timeout / alarm volume 7 while I am asleep (timed task)
Vibrate / auto brightness / timeout (slightly longer) while at work (timed task)
Bluetooth on while in my car (timed task -- specificlly during the hours of my work commute)
Load Vlingo when Bluetooth connects, Kill Vlingo when BT disconnects
GPS on when Maps, Navigation and Foursquare are opened
Display timeout (1hr) and brightness (max) when USB plugged in (for when i am in my car, typically listening to music and/or have vlingo up on the screen, annoying (and worthless) for the display to timeout if vlingo is supposed to be a one-touch process!)
Anyway of exporting a profile then importing it so some of the more advanced useres can create some and we can tweak them ?
Edit: Having hard time getting them to do what i want .
Probably, but I am not entirely sure how... lol
My initial use:
As previously mentioned on this board the bluetooth streaming volume is not the loudest, so I always end up turning up the volume for bluetooth. Then when I plugin my headphones I destroy my eardrums.
So I setup a task that when I connect to my bluetooth car stereo, it automatically sets the volume to max and turns off wifi for good measure.
I have another task that when I plugin headphones, it sets the volume to 60% and opens the doubletwist music player.
Finally I setup the standard battery task so that when my battery gets to 20% it turns of all the GPS, wifi, and bluetooth radios, as well as dimming my screen.

Ah, I keep meaning to setup the low battery task as well!
I have two keyboards i really like in 2 different orientations.
Droid X keyboard:
its sweet autocorrections and large real estate makes it ideal for two thumb typing in landscape
swype:
slower than droid X keyboard in landscape, but in portrait, this is possibly the fastest/most accurate keyboard around.
I tried to set it up so that i could change my keyboards depending on the orientation, but i could not figure it out
im also for an app that turns your screen off with a timer (in the background). and have that work when you turn your screen downward./
any with either of these would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone know how to make it so that the Incall volume goes up to max on the connect of the phone call? I cant seem to find it in the settings meeting seems to only answer on 3/4 volume. Thought Tasker might be able to .
This app is awesome. I only got a few tasks setup but one nice one is turning the screen timeout to 23hr when I open the web browser and back to 30 secs when I exit.

To export a profile tap the context (left) icon <profile<export. To import just open the file with Tasker as the chosen program I think. lots of premade tasks on the Tasker wiki. (it won't let me post a link)

1.TRY ACT1 VIDEO PLAYER....it's free, it's light weight and it's good for light videos...well synchronized audio-video too
2.get Uber Music..it has lockscreen replacement with a widget, volume rocker control for previous/next song when the screen is off...there is headset control too and the UI is awesome (get "metro skin" and"clear widgets" skin also)
3. finally, as mentioned b4 by kormatoes, use drocap2 in froyo builds and u have an integrated screenshot app in MiniCM 7
hope i helped
if i helped you, kindly press the "THNAKS" button
I prefer MoboPlayer for videos.
Market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil
Drocap2 for screenshots.
Market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gmail.nagamatu.drocap2
Was using this in the stock 2.1 ROM. Now I have installed MiniCM7 Pro - v6 Final (GingerBread 2.3.5) ROM and use the screenshot app that comes with it (long press power key - menu)
EDIT: I will include fixes / solutions whenever i find them for problems we face in DX
DX is an awesome device, spec and style wise. But over the few days i had used my DX i have found some rather annoying problems. This is the list. Please read and check each event and report if you also have the same problem with same apps also. And its not a problem with the app, just the DX doesnt play nice with them. Atleast thats what i think as i have used them in other devices and are problem free.
1. Viber + Poweramp: We all like viber chatting and may at the same time listen to music on Poweramp. But if you maximize and minimize the keypad in viber, there is a sound lag and a pop crack sound always. The only solution is to disable your profile to silent or vibration. Note: Stock player does not create any sound hiccups. I havent tested any other player either.
SOLUTION: PowerAmp > Settings > Audio Focus > Untick "Short Audio Focus Change"
** After un-ticking there were no sound hiccups when i repeated the scenario as explained in 1
2. Poweramp: no need for an introduction as no one i know uses the stock htc music player. Suppose you are listening to a song and your device is in standby mode (screen off) and the song changes to the next song, the volume of the next song suddenly reduces to a low level. But the volume knob is same as where you set it. The solution is to close poweramp and start that song. This doesn't happen much, but it does happen.
3. Status bar drop down: While you are browsing a site like 9gag, you may stop to read the meme. During that time the HTC browser or HTC Sense decides to drop down the status bar automatically. This happens like every 10-20 seconds. The status bar just drops down instead of staying hidden. It does go hidden again within a second, but is rather annoying. The status bar should not show up unless i touch or drag the page down.
Please share your experiences if you have similar or any other problem.
Playing any song in repeat one mode basically locks the prev and next buttons. You can't play next song (or the previous one) without disabling it. Turns out its a bug in music v3 and was absent in cm12 and cm13.
Things I have tried
>Going through lock screen every time I wanna change a song ... reeaaally enjoying it btw (long press vol up and down are useless too)
> Importing cm "eleven" apk from older rom and other devices ... they weren't compatible with nougat.
>Recompile music app ... turns out I am a bigger noob than I thought.
>Install 20+ music apps in hopes of finding a good alternative ... I failed. (seriously you can't beat colored notifications and that size plus its a hassle to change music player every time I install a new rom)
So considering that its a bug (or a logic defying feature) could someone pass me a compatible music apk and/ or let the developers know about the issue. Any other suggestions are welcome too.

Use sony walkman app
The sound its awesome
Hello,
As title explains. Looking for a mod which will turn screen off but keep apps or processes running. Thanks
Out of curiosity, what is the usage purpose?
Whenever I use YouTube (e.g., music) for an extended period of time, I put it in ‘Power Saving’ mode and turn off the screen.
In contrast, whenever I cast from my S7 Plus to my TV, there is an option within the software that allows you to disable the screen without disrupting on-screen activity (e.g., emulation/web streaming movies).
Is this possible for android 4.2
