So im trying to get both my maps app and pandora or something else to open from a one click button on homescreen or nfc tag. I want them to open up in multiwindow mode one in each place.Has anyone saw this or knows how to do it? Im running Cleanrom 4.9with full access to multiwindow and root. Anyone have any ideas? would greatly appreciate it.
that's a very interesting question. if I wasn't running a aosp rom right now I would try to help out. never tried to do multi window with Tasker. I don't know if Tasker can automate MW functions.

I'm sure it can, it may just be extremely complex.
Dang, Will have to hope someone stumbles across this or picks it up then. Not something I have the know how for.

I know tasker allows for macros to be run as an action. I never programmed a macro but have seen it on YouTube.

I realize this is an old thread, but did you find Multi Window Manager to help with this?

BTW, I encountered this thread because I'm looking for a way for Tasker to enable Samsung's Multi Window mode. Note: that app (above) doesn't even require Samsung's feature be enabled, but if you want to resize the individual windows, you'll need that mode enabled (on).

Can this be done for our phone? And if so, can one of you smart developers/themers create a flashable zip for this. This would look awesome.

I believe ADW launcher has a setting for that. And I think certain roms do as well.

I have the paid version of ADW and have never seen that option. Im pretty sure I have looked through all the ADW options. But Im kind of looking for a universal option which a launcher probably wont do. I Have tried most of the ROMS available. Right now I am using Eclipse. It doesnt do it.
Hmm. You've had this on other phones? If so which ones? I'd like to take a look at how they do it and maybe figure out a way to get our phone to do the same. I read the article briefly and it seems that in order for it to be universal it may require a lot of typing.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
From reading the article, unless I'm misunderstanding, it looks to me like it has to be coded into the app. I've got at least one app that does this now. Might be more but I've never paid attention until now. Quick Settings will do this if you have it set to dialog mode. It doesn't blur but it does dim the screen. But that function (blurring) too would appear to be something coded into the app.
Yes this particular article is regarding writing an actual app, its not a function on any launcher. I don't know of a launcher setting to do this universally, there are some options if you crack open a theme or rom and start playing with xml files but thats about it.
I have not had this on other phones. But I've seen it before. Check out this video and look at the 30 second mark:

Thats what I thought it might be. the xml files. But Im not a developer. I wouldnt know where to look or what to change.
Ya doing that would be a big rewrite as far as xml's go...the effect is cool and i wish it was easy to implement universally but as far as i know its not easy...i looked into it a while back.
This seems like a cool effect but the amount of work for the payoff is just not worth it.. especially if its an app by app basis.. I looked at the link quick.. will executing this do this to all apps or is it app by app basis.. if it does the effect to all apps I would look into this further

Just saying again, I'm no developer. But even if that link I posted is just refering to designing an app, I would think there's a place to put this in the system ui files. I know that when I power down my phone, it blurs the background when it's saying "powering down the device" or something like that. But that's the only time it does it. Also, I would think anywhere it has the dimming code, which happens when a dialog box comes up like when you long press the home screen to add a widget. Can't you add or modify the code that does that?

Well the trick would be to find a Rom that does that effect then copy the code from there...If anyone finds a rom with that effect, let me know i can try to find the code, i would love this effect but i just don't have time right now to do the research...maybe this weekend.

In the third post, there is a mod for advanced power menu. Im not sure if the blurred background is part of this mod or the Desire HD ROM.

Well that Link above the rom package contains just the android.policy.jar file in it so maybe thats where the setting is. I decompiled and looked through it but i couldn't find anything pointing towards blurring the background, maybe someone else that has a little more experience than me wanna give it a crack. Sorry i couldn't help, i will keep my eyes open for this effect and post if i find anything.

I'm using CM9 and during a call, there are no options to mute, hang up, hold, or anything else in notification tray. This is the one thing I loved about the Samsung variant of Android. Do I simply need to install a dialer app from Google Play to get this functionality, or is there a feature in CM9 to enable this?
Can anyone help me get this functionality? Thanks in advance.
What would be the point all those buttons are on the in call screen in ICS?

If you are multitasking outside of the phone app while in speaker phone, isn't it pretty quick to pull down the notification tray and click the phone so the phone app opens (which has all the options), then just switch back to what you were doing? Doesn't even take 5 seconds to go from browser to phone, back to browser...
Although it would be a nice feature, it is not a necessary one.

To start with, how about posting questions in q &a? Thread moved to q&a.
I'm trying to remap my search button to open a different app. There's no way to do this in settings. How can I accomplish this? Seems like it should be a feature of CM. I was able to do it on my old Nokia E71x.
Bump
So no one has any idea how to do this?

Hello, all! I have searched tasker guides, and looked everywhere I can think of and can't figure it out. Looking to start Daydream when screen state is off but not docked or charging. Doesn't work for me no matter what I try. "Daydream Launcher" app can not be used as it does not work on it's own to start Daydream much less with tasker profile - appears 4.3 isn't being supported at this time from comments. I am trying with profile:State>Display>Display state>Off to trigger task: Plugin>Secure Settings>Configuration>Helper Action>Day Dream State>On OR task: Plugin>Secure Settings>Configuration>Helper Action>Day Dream>Clock plus (or whatever else) I get nothing either way. Daydream works fine on dock or charge. Anyone have any advice? Thank you in advance for any help you can give!
I'm sure one of our dev's will tackle that eventually..def would be a sweet little tweek.

I had something like that working at one point.
If no one else gets to it I'll add it to my list to take a look at as soon as I get a couple of other projects out and posted.
If you really want it done. get a hold of @nala_ and tell her @mjcollum said to add it to the to do list.

Thanks - it's driving me crazy just because it's beating me!
Do you need a Tasker task it will probably be easier to just add it in as a function of the apk. (With a n off command)

Definitely does not have to be Tasker - that was just the only way I personally was approaching it. apk would be just as awesome or better.
Thank you!!!

Just found this thread because I wanted to do the same
Found a solution:
Tasker + Secure Settings (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin&hl=de)
--> Install Secure Settings, Enbale System+, Set DayDream to "always", Set a Task in Tasker if Power + Wireless + AC --> SecureSettings Toggle DayDream
So it will be off if you charge and if you don't charge the DayDream gets activated.

SET a task in Tasker and use as plugin the secure settings.

Has anyone found what app controls these being in the notification pull down menu? I really only want the power. I never use the Samsung search apps or S Voice. I know the PageBuddyNotiSync controlled the headphones being plugged in but I'm wondering what controls the other.
Anyone?

They are in systemui.apk. if you download my rom there is an option in aroma to remove them.
If there is enough interest I can eventually modify the stock systemui.apk or perhaps right a guide on how to do it yourself.
