Gotta do it...Tasker Thread! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Alright, lets show off some tasker profiles! Im always interested in ideas other have cooked up. I'll show you guys some stuff i came up with.
Hit thanks if you like it!
Heres a link to my Rom-Toggler thread!: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43912825#post43912825
Ill start populating the post. I realize that tasker profiles are a royal pain in the butt to read, so im going to create some colapsable projects.
Ill also color code certain things and ill try to stay consistent..Ill try to add a project every day. So the first one will be my car project.
Tips:
To avoid confusion with all the collapse-ables, close the ones youre done reading.
Have Secure Settings installed, and swipe to the helper section and install helper
HAve autovoice, you gotta start using this at some point..its pretty awesome.
%PACTIVE is a variable that means "profiles active"
you can long press a profile and press the settings button on the top right and if you scroll down you can uncheck the "display in notification" if you dont want your tasker notification to be over-populated
Projects will be Blue
Profiles will be orange
Enter tasks will be green.
Exit Tasks will be red.
If statements will start and end with pink.....end if
CAR PROJECT
This project has a couple of tasks that do stuff that are related to the car. hence the name.. It does the following:
1: When you get in the car, the screen will stay on, and if it does somehow close, the keyguard will be disabled. This prevents too much fiddling with the phone...This is turned off when you get out.
2: Alters volume levels and brightness when getting in and out of the car.
3: Marks down what time you got out of the car, starts counting how long youve been out of your car, and takes the GPS coordinates of your location when you get out of the car.
The purpose of this is so youll always know when you got out of the car, how long you have been parked (in case of parking meters, parking hours etc..) and allows you to navigate to your car so youll never lose it after parking in some obscure location.
This is done with minimalistic text to display that info, and upon pressing it, will activate the task to navigate back to your car. Ill attach a screen shot.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4: When someone calls, my phone asks me if i want to answer it, instead of ringing, upon yes, it does, upon no it doesnt.
5: reads me my text, I have nothing to hide, but you could easily implement the yes/no prompt if you want it read to you or not.
6: turns wifi on, gps on, and you can add a bluetooth on if you want.
HERE ARE THE PROFILES:
Profile: Car Mode
Context:
State -> Docked any
State -> Headset plugged in
But really this could be anything.
Tasks:
Enter Task:
Load App -> Car Home (http://blog.brianmoses.net/2012/10/manually-installing-googles-car-home-app.html)
Secure Settings -> GPS Enabled
Wifi -> Off
System Volume -> 7
Media Volume -> 15
Auto Brightness -> on
Notification Volume -> 7
Secure Settings -> Keep Display On
Secure Settings -> Keyguard Disabled
Variable Set -> %SEARCHWIFI ~ 0 (Youll see why later)
Exit Task:
Variable Set %HOURSINCE ~ 0
Variable Set %MINSINCE ~ 0
IF - %TIME > 12.00 {
MINIMALISTIC TEXT -> (variable) ampm = PM
Variable Set -> %PARKEDTIME to (%TIME-12.00)
}
else if - %TIME < 12.00 {
MINIMALISTIC TEXT -> ampm = AM
%PARKEDTIME to %TIME
}
end if
MINIMALISTIC TEXT parkedtime = %PARKEDTIME
Secure Settings -> Keyguard Enabled
Secure Settings -> Lock Device
Secure Settings -> Keep display on - never
Kill App -> Car Home
Get Location -> GPS, timeout -> 100seconds
Variable Set -> %PARKEDAT ~ %LOC
Secure Settings -> GPS Disabled
Variable Set %SEARCHWIFI ~ 1
Profile: Update Time Since (Update what minimalistic text will show)
This counts how long youve been parked for and assigned an HOUR variable and a MINUTE variable to minimalistic text.
Since the "repeat" thing in tasker has a minimum of 2 minutes, i just made two of the same tasks and made the other wait a minute before starting.
Conext:
Every 2 minutes
Tasks: Timesince1
If - %TIMESINCE = 60 {
Variable Set -> %HOURSINCE to %HOURSINCE + 1 (do maths)
Variable Set -> %MINSINCE to 0
MINIMALISTIC TEXT - minsince = %MINSINCE
MINIMALISTIC TEXT - hoursince = %HOURSINCE
}
end if
if - %TIMESINCE < 60 {
Variable Set -> %MINSINCE to (%MINSINCE + 1) (do maths)
MINIMALISTIC TEXT -> minsince = %MINSINCE
MINIMALISTIC TEXT -> hoursince = %HOURSINCE
}
end if
Timesince2
wait -> 1 minute
If - %TIMESINCE = 60 {
Variable Set -> %HOURSINCE to %HOURSINCE + 1 (do maths)
Variable Set -> %MINSINCE to 0
MINIMALISTIC TEXT - minsince = %MINSINCE
MINIMALISTIC TEXT - hoursince = %HOURSINCE
}
end if
if - %TIMESINCE < 60 {
Variable Set -> %MINSINCE to (%MINSINCE + 1) (do maths)
MINIMALISTIC TEXT -> minsince = %MINSINCE
MINIMALISTIC TEXT -> hoursince = %HOURSINCE
}
end if
Profile: Read Text
context:
Received Text any
Variable Value -> %PACTIVE ~ *Car Mode*
Task: Read SMS
Silent mode -> on
Say -> %SMSRN says. %SMSRB
silent mode-> off
Profile: Car Call (Asks me if i want to answer the call or not, then the response will be passed off to another profile called CAR RESPONSE)
context:
Call incoming
Variable Value - %PACTIVE ~ *Car Mode*
Enter Task:
Media Control -> Pause (simulate media button)
Ringer Volume -> 0
Say -> Should i answer this call?
Auto voice recognize (Triggers autovoice to listen to you)
Exit Task:
Media Control Play
Profile: Call Response
Do the same for a "NO response" except the command in autovoice will be "no" and the task will end the call.
context:
AutoVoice recognized -> check event behavior, command = yes
Variable Value -> %PACTIVE ~ *Car Mode*
Task: Take Call
Take Call...lol
THIS ONE IS A TASK
Make this task so you can set your minimalistic texts tap behavior to open a tasker shortcut and then select this one.
IT will allow you to navigate to your car when you tap the widget, you may need to change the wait task if it takes longer for your phone to turn on GPS (not get a lock)
Create a task:
Secure Settings GPS Enabled
Wait 3 seconds
Open Map (this is a task under the APP task) Mode-> Navigate To, Address %PARKEDAT
TO SET UP MINIMALISTIC TEXT:
Im not going to tell you what the font should be, what size or what color the font should be etc etc, ill just tell you how to add the variables to minimalistic text
Tap and hold on your homescreen and add a 2x2 Widget
Delete all the premade stuff
if you swipe to the layout tab and press the "+" youll get a bunch of options to add stuff.
Swipe over to the MISC tab, and add a static text and a local variable. Theres a bug in Minimalistic text where if you add a bunch of local variables at once, itll make the values of them all the same..so youll have to add the things one at a time..pain in the butt i know.
so add a static text and a local variable. over and over till you have 4 local variables and 3 static texts.
have 3 rows, delete the ones you dont need by tapping the 3 dots and pressing delete row.
I have it set up like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Static text = Parked At:]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Locale Variable = parkedtime] [locale variable = ampm]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(optional)[static text icon = user interface-> hand pointy thingy]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[static text = Parked For: ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[locale variable = hoursince] [static text = Hrs.] [locale variable = minsince]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then swipe over to "Tap Behaviour" and check "start another activity"
press select and activity or shortcut
swipe right to the shortcut tab
select the "Find Car" task we created earlier
pick an icon for it if it asks by pressing the button on the lower right hand corner
END CAR PROJECT
WIFI PROJECT
These tasks will automate turning your wifi on and off based on locations you are at often. I.E. your house, your work, your buddies house, your girlfriends house, etc...
It works via the cell near state, however im not perfectly clear on how much battery this drains, so i took an extra precaution by having a %SEARCHWIFI variable, set to either 1, or 0, (on or off, respectively). This variable's value is easily changed in any profile, so its easy to avoid conflicting profiles, as well as saves battery by not continuously searching for cellphone towers.
What i do with this, is have a profile, Near Home for example, and when im in a new location i want to automatically connect to, i just clone it, change the name, re-search cellphone towers and voila! I have like 10 of these and it works perfectly. So ill only make a "Near Home" profile, then you can clone that.
I like to have a pattern lock when im out and about, but i dont like having one when im at a buddies house, or at my own house, so i have tasker deal with that. If you want this, first you have to set a pattern lock code. then this will take effect.
Profile: Search Wifi?
Context:
Not Wifi Connected (check invert after the wifi connected task)
Variable Value -> %PACTIVE !~ *Car Mode*
Enter Task:
Variable Set -> %SEARCHWIFI ~ 1
Exit Task:
Variable Set-> %SEARCHWIFI ~ 0
Profile: Wifi Time-Out
If you are near one of the places and you somehow disconnect, tasker will wait 20 seconds to see if youre still disconnected and if you are , turn wifi off, turn the pattern lock on, and in 10 minutes, if youre still in the area it will try to connect again. of course you can change the times to whatever you want.
Context:
Not Wifi Connected
task:
Wait 20 seconds
if - %WIFII !~ *connect*
Secure settings -> pattern lock enabled
Variable set -> %SEARCHWIFI ~ 0
Wifi -> off
end if
wait 10 minutes
Variable set -> %SEARCHWIFI ~ 1
Profile: Near Home
context:
Cell near (press scan)
state -> Variable Value -> %SEARCHWIFI ~ 1
Enter Task:
Wifi On
Secure Settings -> Pattern lock disabled
exit Task:
if - %WIFII !~ *connect* (i know this is overkill)
secure settings -> patternlock disabled
wifi off
end if
END WIFI PROJECT
REQUESTS PROJECT:
Voice commands in car to perform various responses to a received text, requested by oscar615
NOTE: autovoice recognize doesnt play well with pop-up sms windows...sometimes works, sometimes only works after you close the pop up.
oscar615 said:
Wow, your car code is almost what I was thinking about earlier today. About the only difference is when I get a text I would like it to give me 3 audible choices. 1- send a pre recorded text letting them know i am in the car. 2- Give me the option to do nothing and 3- the option to call the person who sent the text and have the phone set to speaker, and pause any music that is on. The problem is I am so new to tasker and really have no idea how to do this. I will study your code to see if I can learn what you did and maybe add the other options to it. I want it to all be voice responses and and prompts.
Do you have any idea what needs to be added to what you have created in order to get what I want?
Anyway great work. Thanks for doing this thread and posting your profiles.

Profile: Driving Text
context:
event -> received text any
state -> variable value - %PACTIVE ~ *car mode* (or whatever profile you have for your car)
task:
silent mode on
misc -> say -> Text received by %SMSRN. What should i do?
wait 150ms
plugin -> autovoice recognize
silent mode off
Profile: Cant talk
context:
autovoice recognized -> check event behavior -> command = can't
state -> variable value - %PACTIVE ~ *car mode*
task:
phone -> send sms -> number: %SMSRF, Message: Sorry, im driving, cant talk right now, check 'store in messaging app'
profile: call back
context: plugin -> autovoice recognized, check event behavior, command = call
state -> variable value - %PACTIVE ~ *car mode*
task:
call -> number: %SMSRF, check auto dial
With autovoice, if the command is "can't" you can say anything, and as long as "can't" is somewhere in the sentence, it will perform that action. unless you specified otherwise, but i wont get into that. If you say anything other than those, it will just close.
end oscar's request

Yeah absolutely, I actually have a profile that does something very similar. But for a different scenario...tell me; would you want to do this through a voice command? or through a pop-up dialogue?

I think voice commands would be better. Since I would be driving. The more hands free the better I think. But if popups were the only way, then that might work also.

They most certainly are not...youre using an android device! anyways, ill post a profile that does what you want under a requests project. its actually easier to do voice options.
edit: its up!

Thank you so much. Now to study these (I need to learn, I have lots of ideas) all of this and get it going on my phone. Thanks again.

IS there any interest in this thread? if not ill stop, its pretty time consuming to type all that stuff out.

---

I'm extremely interested! I love finding new tasker setups. Your car profile is intense!

I'm really interested and am going to have to use that car setup of yours. Just a question I've been wondering is can one backup and upload a profile for easy imports? That would make things so much easier rather than trying to follow I guide in my opinion.

---

Very interested. I can barely use Tasker. Makes me feel like such a nub

ok great! ill keep posting profiles. Ill post the XML files for you to import too then, I hope there wont be any compatibility problems!
im trying to figure out a better way to be able to semi-toggle between two roms with tasker, i have a way, and it works, but i want a faster, less convoluted way to implement it. Its a little pop up box that has a button asking if you want to swtich roms. kinda cool. I got the inspiration from monaco's google-play edition/stock rom toggle thing.

I have Tasker installed on my phone. I tried to use it a time or two but to no avail. So, I "froze" it in Titanium as I purchased the software. A tutorial or two would be nice- not saying for you to do so. It is obvious to me though that you really have a great understanding of Tasker. I just wanted to chime in on this thread to give you a huge *Kudos*

Do you think you could do screen casts video walk through of your set ups?

I really like that idea. Maybe a YouTube video or two could work as well. No pressure, just saying
