Apologies in advance if this is not the right place for this. Please move it to the appropriate thread/forum if needed. Thank you.
I've been working on a way to have DeX launch when my bluetooth keyboard is connected. I have shared my flow with the Automate Community. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome. I'm pretty new at this, so go easy on me lol.
Whenever anyone asks about automating tasks on Android I always think of Tasker. I haven't used it on the Tab S4 yet so do not know if it can manipulate the DeX setting or not. Might try and see what the Tasker community says. That would certainly be handy to have it change over whenever the bluetooth keyboard or mouse are connected. If you find anything out be sure to post the solution here so we can thank you for the work.

I have been in touch with the Tasker community, and so far it's not looking promising.

Awesome man... Works well. Definitely not the right forum to ask this but is it possible to create a flow to toggle Wi-Fi Calling on or off based on which Wi-Fi network its conn to or GPS? I searched but couldn't find anything for Tasker or Automate.
Finaly i find a way to toggle dex with Tasker but you need certain apps. QuickShortcutMaker and IntentTask(plugin for tasker).
First open QuickShortcutMaker to find Samsung Dex on activity selection. Then tap the ModeToggleActivity then add it to favorites(star icon) to find it later.
Now open Tasker and creat an action. Add action with IntentTask in plugins and select the Launch shortcut. Then in the name section press the pen icon and choose activities. Now tap on the favorites and tap Samsung DeX and create. Then tap done go back and you are done.

...brilliant.
edit: needs more hacking. I have a Samsung s5e and a foldable bluetooth keyboard. with this tasker setup I start dex whenever that keyboard pairs with my tablet which happens when I open it.
when I close it, nothing happens, and when I open it again, tasker switches back to normal tablet mode - needs some kind of "only when not in dex" trigger or something.
Perhaps there is a command line option we can use in Tasker on Bluetooth connect?

actualy it is weird to not back normal when close it or maybe i can just add an exit task with same action to close it (and maybe it is the way that because bluetooth profile is just do the action when connected something and do a different thing on disconnected sorry i am away from my tablet)
btw intenttask has a state condition with see the current app (samsung dex an example) to set a variable action maybe to prevent force close dex
where / how do i configure intenttask with that state condition?

Any one is familiar with an app or widget for quick shortcut to a specific bluetooth device (lets say my BT headset or my stereo) and pair to it with 1 click from the homescreen?
and maybe another toggle click would unpair it.
I want to put 3 shortcuts on my homescreen for each BT device so I'd have it quicker.. instead of going to settings>Bluetooth>and pair manualy the one.
I've tried to search on market and google but seems like the dev's ideas was only to short me up into the bluetooth settings and not to a specific user..
Thanks,

Well, there isn't anything (I think) that let's you select the device directly from the homescreen. However, you could use something like QuickTooth, at least you save a couple of steps since you only press the icon on the homescreen and are directly in the bluetooth settings. It won't be 1 click, but 2
Well, as I thought..
But I must say that your app is the nicest and easiest of all that I tried.. fits exactly for my purpose, the others just do another million things which I don't need.
So thank you!
If still someone else might find the one, don't hesitate to show it up here

:good: There is solution - combination of free tools:
first of all pair all your BT devices in your BT settings
install "Llama" (great and free app for any everyday automation needs and it support Locale plugins!) ... or other such tool (Locale, Tasker)
install "Bluetooth Auto Connect" (by Jakub Klos) from Play store - it has build-in plugins for Locale and Tasker
create homescreen shortcut, select Llama, then choose "Custom event actions" from the list ... you are now in in Llama shortcut setup:
tap "Llama shortcut name" and name it (for example I have 2 shortcuts named: "BT repro", "BT headphone")
tap "Add action" button (down on screen), scroll to and choose "Bluetooth" and then choose "Bluetooth On" - this will turn on BT first (yes, you don't have to turn it on - the shortcut will take care of it too )
tap again "Add action" button (down on screen), scroll to and choose "Locale plugin" and then you should see "Bluetooth Auto Connect" - tap it - now you are in "Bluetooth Auto Connect" app, set it up as follows :
"All devices" should be UNchecked so you can select concrete "Device"
"Profile action" should be "Connect"
"Media audio" and "Call audio" is up to you ...
now all is set and you need to just hit phone "Back" button until you are on your homescreen and Llama shortcut should be sitting right there
now repeat all steps to create second, third, ... shortcut With decent launcher you can customize even the icons of shortcuts.
And final tip: install "Widgetsoid" and you can create your widgets (2x1, 3x1, 4x1, ...) - add any system "toggles" like wifi, brightness etc... and you can add there "homescreen shortcuts" too - widgetsoid can display comfortably 6 to 8 toggles/icons in one 4x1 (screen width) widget so you save precious space
And after all this works, you should deep dive in Llama and use it for your daily automation (time/location based volume profiles etc.).
Don't forget to rate all these apps - they all deserve it ...
Ave to wireless music!
Works once, then dud!
Hi whiteowl,
I tried this method on my phone, which has jellybean 4.2.2.
This method works flawlessly for one time. The bluetooth starts and device pairs automatically.
But after that, it doesn't connect to the device at all.
Any solution to this?
Install QuickShortcutMaker. Navigate to Activities. Select "Settings" to display all Settings activities. Them select "com. android.settings/com.samsung.andriod.settings.bluetooth.BluetoothScanDialog. Click Create. Done!
I released an Android app this year called ShortTooth for this exact problem. Create customized single-click shortcuts to connect to any paired Bluetooth device. One of the screenshots shows 3 different shortcuts for different devices. It has a free 14-day trial.
I'm looking for internal/alpha/beta testers if you (or anyone) is interested. The app will be free for internal and alpha testers.

Awesome! I'm new to XDA developers, so I'm not sure what the best way to trade info is -- I'll need your google account email. You can send an email to the email listed on the app page ([email protected]), and I'll add you to the list, and we can go from there. Also since I'm new, I can't post links yet, so you'll have to search for it on Google Play by the exact name.
I'll do some beta testing. I just downloaded it from playstore.

Hi guys.
I'm hoping someone can recommend an app for me for a project I'm working on basically to mount my phone in my car and have it read an nfc tag when it is in there and perform a set of specific actions only while it's in range of the tag.
So essentially the app will know when is in the car and keep maps or torque app open and adopt a certain data/power profile then revert to previous settings when it's removed from the dock.
Does anybody know of an app that can achieve this?
☆ Sent using tapatalk for Samsung Note II ☆
You should take a look at an app called tasker... it requires root tough
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
NFC task launcher will do most of this, but I don't know anything that will reset the state when removed from the tag, I think you would have to tap the tag again, or use another tag to reset the state.
You could just have a second tag for when you leave the car to put phone back to normal
Shame through!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I use Llama, find it more user friendly than Tasker. You'll need to tap the tag twice, apparently Android's API doesn't notify apps that a tag was lost (although it does know about it, that can be seen in logcat).
I'll export my configuration if you want to use it.
Yes please Mohammad that'd be great as it looks like exactly the sort of thing I wish to achieve! Thank you
☆ Sent using tapatalk for Samsung Note II ☆
You'll need
* Car mode control or change the Llama actions enable car mode rather than running this app, the reason I used this instead of the built in function is that it auto launches the car home app, rather than just turning car mode on, and do the same for the off event (again, I used the app instead because it closes car home and returns to default launcher).
* Driving mode widget, this is optional, but it provides an intent that turns on/off driving mode, which is for spoken alerts.
* Rotation locker, locks orientation, invisible notification bar icon only visible when in car mode, so it shouldn't affect you, the service doesn't run in the background when car mode is turned off.
* Llama, obviously
You can hide all the icons for those three apps, you don't need to interact with them yourself.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/68401892/Llama.zip
Put the Llama folder from the zip file in /sdcard, open Llama, open action menu, and import settings.
You will need to reconfigure the NFC events for your NFC tag, rather than mine (I disabled the built in Tags application using Titanium backup, either do that so "Empty tag" doesn't show up or simply format the tag in Llama).
VW Golf is a wireless AP I had in the car, you should probably remove that too unless you have a similar setup.
You will probably need to reconfigure the sounds, they're in the Llama folder, but since it uses content URIs specific to my device you might need to reselect them.
And that's it
I have the ME7, Rooted Verizon phone. I'm trying to use Tasker to turn on my GPS when it detects BT is connected. Basically i only use BT in the car, so i have it set to have the display brighten, not time out, full volume, etc. so i can use the phone through the car radio. The problem is that GPS won't turn on. I downloaded the extra services thing it said to, but still no joy.
Any help?
Thanks

I have MDK running Tasker but I use start of an app to trigger GPS ON. Can you set your profile to start GPS when you start a certain app?
I also have profiles that when I'm at home or at work (cell near) that GPS is off. GPS may have to be in the default state of "ON" in order to do what you're asking. You may have to create profiles to turn it off as well, but leave the default to "ON". I hope that makes sense to you. Make sure you have the latest version of Tasker: 4.1u3.
I don't think that ME7 to MDK would make a difference in Tasker, but it may.
You need to download secure settings AND install the helper from within it and then to use the GPS on off feature you use the option under plugins>secure settings NOT the one under networks and then edit the configuration for the plugin

I've been using Phone Weaver for my profiles. I have "drive" set up to turn on GPS when I would normaly leave for work, then it turns off at 8am then back on at 4:30, off at 5pm... I needed to download secholeutils.apk and toss it in /system/app and set permissions. Works flawlessly. If I need to drive somewhere during the day, I just hit the "Drive" profile.

DID anyone get back to you? Or did you find a way to accomplish this? I would assume that you would just have to create another profile and reverse the gps to off.

In order to do this you will need secure settings and helper and tasker installed assuming you have all this based on this thread
First you will set up two tasks
1) Task to turn on gps
example: Secure settings: GPS on then Flash "Happy Driving
2) set up a DIFFERENT task to turn off GPS using secure settings
create a profile that activates on an app launch. then tasker will require you link this with a task, choose the gps on task.
Next long press on the task (while in the profiles tab not the tasks tab) an option for "add exit task" should appear that will allow you to link the gps off task
exit tasks are tasks that tasker executes when the conditions are no longer true Maps is launched=gps on task upon app close=gps off task is run

If you want to turn on GPS install secure settings and helper from inside secure settings. Your going to need root. When making the task click plugin>secure settings>GPS and select the state you want. (On off or toggle)

Hi,
For me following worked:
Duplicate the Profile where you turn on GPS
Edit the duplicate like this:
invert the selected apps (press the invert button) so all other apps are selected
then set the action to GPS off.
Hope this helps.

Philipp

While true that will work I would recommend using the exit task option. When you get more advanced with tasker it will benefit you greatly plus the way you said it is kind of "incorrect". It will work in this case but in others it won't correctly
I was thinking, if BlackBerry Launcher allows you to customize keyboard short-cuts to any key on the Priv/KeyOne, maybe it'll do the same for the Gemini.
Yes, it does! The launcher isn't as flexible as Nova, but it allows you to set up keyboard shortcuts while on the homescreen. So, for example, I can quickly go home with Fn+D and then long-press M to launch Google Maps. You could toggle Tasker shortcuts or anything else as well, possibilities are pretty endless.

You created shortcuts that require you to hold down Ctrl first? How? The only options I see are long and short press.
I mount the Gemini in my truck as the head-unit when I get in (I'll share the solution in another post). Just created a Tasker profile that when I long-press Q it turns the display brightness all the way up, sets display timeout to never, connects to my Echo Dot via bluetooth, then reads back "Car Mode On."
When I hit Q again it reverses everything and says "Car Mode Off." I'm having fun hacking this little device.

Make sure your Planet App Bar is set to Force Landscape and Display Settings are set to Stay in Landscape when Rotated, or get an app like Ultimate Rotation Control which allows you to fine tune rotation, which is what I did. Set it to Force Auto, which will allow apps to rotate that don't normally allow that.
Hello,
I found an App in Tab S4 called "Samsung Dex On/Off" as attached but I didn't found in my tablet.
Anyone can tell me how to install it?

My guess is it's to enable/disable DeX Mode? If you don't have it, there should be a toggle in your Quick Settings Panel somewhere...
That app is part of the retail demo mode. I was looking for it myseld but have not been able to find it anywhre.
Yes. I also found that in Samsung Retail Shop but the salesperson didn't know how to get it. I try to find it in the web but nothing.

Gotcha. You might want to check for updates though. Because recently I noticed a new button in the lower left corner of the screen in DeX mode, with one of the options being to exit DeX Mode. I have an app called Desktop Hub which adds features to DeX, so I'm not sure if its that app doing it, or Samsung themselves that added it.

You Need to Download Activity Launcher from Play Store. Then You open the app, and go Recent Activities is in the top menu and touch the arrow in your right side. when you open, is going to be two options and touch ALL ACTIVITIES .
Wait for a few seconds is going to open all the apps is in your device. Scroll down and search for Samsung Dex and Touch Samsung Dex. Is going to open another Samsung Dex in the bottom. Press the Samsung Dex for a few seconds and going to launch a window with four options, touch the 2nd one. is going to say CREATE SHORTCUT. After that just follow the steps and is going to create a shortcut in your device.
