Hi
How can we create a shortcut on the home screen to access the mobile network mode?

Use Routines and Modes. Set a manual routine...and place its widget on your home screen.

That is a good idea. But the shortcuts it creates from applications are not in sync with the main application.
I'd suggest looking at an app called shortcut maker. It has all the solutions to your shortcuts problem.

Give us a hint on how to create a shortcut on the home screen to access the mobile network mode.
Download the app..look for the shortcut that you need and the app creates it to your home screen...I have it on my phone...really good stuff.

That's not a hint.
In Shortcut Maker, as in Activity Launcher, there is no shortcut to mobile network mode.
Both apps only find what Shortcutter Quick Settings creates.

Assuming you have shortcut maker running, go to intents link, search for network...choose network operator settings...and then create shortcut...voila

Unfortunately, but it does not open the network selection list itself, only a place in the android settings where you can open the list.
In my solution the view is like this:

There just isn't a way my friend. Not to that specific part of the menu. That thread of the settings doesn't have its own activity.
The mother activity is
com.android.settings.Settings$WirelessSettingsActivity
And this is the closest you can get to that particular setting.
What I usually do is...using Modes and Routines....on a second home page....I add One manual routine for each mobile network connection type.
It isn't ideal....but it does work.

Here is how I do it.
Made a second page on your home screen.
This is optional.
Go to Modes And Routines.
Tap the "+" icon in the top right.
Tap the "+" under "If"
Tap "Start manually"
Tap the "+" under Then.
Tap "Connections"
Tap "Network mode"
A menu will pop up. Tap one. EG "2G only"
Now...under "When routine ends"
Tap "Reverse actions"
Toggle the top "On" toggle off.
(This is very important...because this makes the whole routin a switch a opposed to a toggle)
Tap "Save"
At the top tap "Network Mode" and rename it to what mode you chose for this switch.
Give it an icon...if you wish.
Now...depending on your launcher...you'll be asked to place a widget. Place it in your home screen.
Now...repeat...but swapping 2g to 3g....and so on.

Hang on! Are we talking about the same app. This is the app that I'm referring to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rk.android.app.shortcutmaker. This app takes you to the main network selection window..there you can choose the mode...This saves at least 2-3 prior clicks...

I know my way is long winded...but you do it once...and as long as you cancel the reverse action of each routine....you end up with a button you can tap to swap it to the network type you wish.
If you leave the reverse action...you end up with lots of routines "on" and the switching doesn't work.

Here is a video of it in action.....I sat her and set that up...just to show you how it works...but I like the way it works so much...
That I kept it...and moved my rice and BBQ timer routines to the new screen.

OK... I have got Tasker, I`m trying to make a shortcut to talkback, or accessibility that can be accessed from double pressing the home button.
I have tried xshortcut to try and use the capture feature on it, but I get a permissions error.
I could enter it in the intent field manually I suppose, but what would I have to type as an intent to get to talkback to either toggle on or off, or to get just the the talkback screen?
I have looked and looked. The closest I am getting is com.android.settings.Subsettings.
Yes I am a noob and yes I am out of my depth, but I am just trying to make a talkback toggle for my partially sighted wife.
Any flaming/suggestions welcome
EDIT: In an ideal world, the Home2 shortcut app would work, as you can select a shortcut in this app, so I would make an accessibility shortcut with Anycut, and use it with that, but SGS2 isn`t compatibile with Home2 shortcut, and advanced home button app cannot select shortcuts

any update on this?? Am also trying to figure out the same thing for galaxy s and an android tab..
Closest I have got is, because Home2 doesn`t work on TouchJizz, you install some kind of AOSP rom then it works faultlessly.
The closest shortcut you can make is getting to the accessibility page, this is does either through Nova launcher actions (which I thinik is similar to anycut) or use Anycut itself!
Talkback needs an update...
Same here. I emailed the developer of spiel and he says a direct shortcut can't be made as Google limits this!

Hi all,
i've installed the Tasker Trial (from the developer site) a few days ago on my SGS III (no root, using stock rom).
I want Tasker to disable my Lockscreen security when i'm at home. Recently i tried this setup:
Profile: Trusted Zone
State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:ssid1/ssid2 MAC:* IP:* ]
A1: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Clear Password/Wait For Unlock ]
Profile: Untrusted Zone
State: Not Wifi Connected [ SSID:ssid1/ssid2 MAC:* IP:* ]
Abort Existing Task
A1: Secure Settings [ Configuration:Set Pin ]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've tried nearly every setting i could imagine. With and without "Secure settings" plugin, pattern or pin on lockscreen, foregrund mode with notification icon or background without notification. Also i've registered Tasker and secure settings plugin as device admin in security settings.
My problem is, after setting up all necessary profiles and tasks everything seems to be fine, but after a while the display is locked even though i'm connected to my wifi at home. (yes, wifi is enabled all the time, even in lockscreen ;-) )
Also i've noticed that tasker sometimes displays a notification saying "Low memory". On SGS3? Realy?
I hope anyone could help me how to run tasker in a reliable way on sgs3.
Thanks in advance.
Hey man, sorry I can't help but I am running one task on my Spirit GS III.
My task is to connect to Wi-Fi according to the near cell tower.
Anyway, mine seems to be working just fine.

I dint think everything is perfect with tasker and ics. I think I red in the google groups about some things that may not function perfectly.
I have my lockscreen disabled when Bluetooth is connected in my car, and when it's connected to power. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sorry, that's the best I can offer you.

I've used tasker since my desire days. I had profiles that turn wifi on and off and go into silent mode etc.
The only profile that doesn't work for me is turning off the LED. In fact for me I haven't found anything that will turn off the LED

Thank you guys.
I've also searched the web.
Unfortunately, i think there is a problem with Tasker and ICS (especially with SGS3?).
Maybe there will be an update for tasker...
Does anyone of you knows an app which allows me to control the Lockscreen behaviour through Wifi status?

It's working like a charm for me to enable/disable the lock screen security with Tasker and secure settings. I need it because of our Internet certificate at our University.

Can you post your setting for Tasker and secure settings please. Do you use pin or pattern on the lockscreen?
@Isadora: I'll give it a try

Yes No problem... I just need to translate my tutorial. Just wait a bit
And I'm using pattern

I use Pattern, and this worked for me.
1)
Press the "+" to create a new profile. Name it what you want (I called it "unlock at home")
Press the "state" button.
Press the "Net" button.
Press the "Wifi Connected" button
Press the search button for the "SSID" and choose your network (wifi must be turned on!)
Press the green accept button.
2)
Now the "Task Selection" window appear.
Press "New Task" and name it whatever you want (I called it "Unlock")
Press the "+" button
Press the "Display" button
Press the "Keyguard" button
Set the Keyguard status to "Off"
Press the green accept button.
Press the green accept button again.
3)
Now you are back at the main profile window. Long press on the name you made for 2).
Press "Add Exit Task"
Press "new task" and name it what you want (I called it "Lock")
Press the "+"
Press the "Display"
Press the "Keyguard"
Set the status to "On"
Press green accept button.
You are done.
Now you phone will disable the keyguard when you are connected your home wifi network and enable it when you are not connected.
Notice. If you turn the screen off and on again within a second or two, the screen will turn off again, dunno why. So when you test it, turn the screen off and wait like 5 seconds and then turn it on.
Good luck

I made this tutorial for the eduroam networks at german/european universities. In this tutorial it will be explained how to setup an automatic enableing/disableing pattern lock. At my university place I have to use pattern or pin lock because of the "telekom root ca 2 certificate", otherwise the internet won't work. So the described steps should be very similar to your problem.
I edited the parts so you can use it 1:1
Requirements:
- Installed and working BusyBox App
- Installed and working Secure Settings App
--->Installed Helper in Secure Settings
- Installed and working Tasker
- Create Lockscreen (Password, Pin or Pattern Lock)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open Tasker Application:
- Create new profile and name it like you want.
- At the "First Context" choose location and locate the place where you don't need the secure lockscreen. Instead of location you can choose whatever you want. In e.g. WiFi
- If you're done, just add a "New Task" and name it e.g. "deactivate pattern" or how you like
- Add an action ( Plugin -> Secure Settings -> Edit -> choose at DEV ADMIN ACTIONS "Password/Pin" or at HELPER ACTIONS "Pattern Lock"
---> For Password/Pin use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/screenshot2012071109483.png
---> For Pattern Lock use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/69/screenshot2012071109551.png
- Save the settings and check them all. You got a new profile with one task now. Long press at the task and add an "Exit Task". Use the same steps from above ( the last 2 steps ) just name it e.g. "activate pattern"
---> For Password/Pin use these settings:
(Insert your security Informations)
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/screenshot2012071109574.png
---> For Pattern Lock use these settings:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/515/screenshot2012071109571.png
- Save all the settings you made and then you should have a profile which shows minimum one context and 2 tasks ( Input and Exit task)
That's it... i hope it work! If not let me know Tasker and Secure Settings are a very powerful tool and handle them with care!
Good Luck
Thanks to all of you.
Today i've tried the Trial version of "Delayed Lock" from the market with the Wifi Plugin.
An what should i say?
It works like a charm :good:
Less features than Tasker, but less expensive...
Nevertheless i will try your profiles even if i think i tried this settings before
Regards
For me it doesn't quite work.
When I turn off the pattern lock, it activates swipe unlock instead of no unlock screen.
I tried to turn off keyguard too, but with no effect at all.
I'm on stock rom with root.
Same for me, but I like it so. Don't know if this is a bug or a feature.

Guys, check Tasker website, there's a beta version there. It might solve your problems.
EDIT: check if you have the latest version: 1.3u1 I haven checked before posting, there is no more beta. Sorry.

Ok maybe i got something: When you configure a VPN or install a new certificate, Android deactivates the possibilty to choose the less secure options in the security / lockscreen menu. If you now delete any VPN connection and/or user defined certificates, tasker and secure settings should work. At least for me it does. Can anyone verify this?
I lost google on tap from the application KSetting (mate 8) to change the button long press Home, but I have no way to return to Google on tap, except to erase all data from mobile, in the application I can choose a shortcut, I wanted to know if there was any activity shortcuts to open google on tap.
Erasing the KSetting app data or uninstalling that app won't fix it...? Not familiar with the app as nothing comes up in a quick Google search for it.

On Tap is part of the Google app. If you open it and go into the slide out Menu located on the top left for the Settings, you should see the option to enable it there.

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.

I installed the BB launcher then just pressed the Ctrl key with a letter key (e.g. "e") and the launcher offered me some options to link to this combination.

No, it's either a long or short press of a single letter. You are unnecessarily holding Ctrl, it's not needed.

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.

Yes I notice it. U have to do it the other way... Not sure why they remove it
They changed it a bit..
When your in recent apps there is a symbol that appears at the top of the app. Pressing that will show a menu, one of the options is "open in split screen view".
This is how you now access the feature. I attached a screen shot of the settings app showing the respective symbol. Yellow arrow points to the symbol you want to press (symbol will vary pending on the app).

Thanks for this. I was slightly confused at first, it might be easier for people to understand to say that the app's icon appears at the top of the app in the recents screen, and tapping that icon gives you the options for the app, like split screen, pop-up view etc ?
I want to creat a 'icon pair on the home screen' that option is missing from the new menu. Thats my real question. Sorry about asking it in two steps
You can creat an icon pair in the edge screen but it will not appear on the home screen. Any ideas?

I tried it and I couldn't get it to work either, though I haven't used the feature before so I never created an app pair on my home screen. It maybe something they changed and now is (or with one UI maybe only ever was) available from the edge panel.
Update - Checking the users manual (for our phone with Android Pie) indicates the only way to natively create an app pair now is via the Edge Panel.

There is an apk called split-screen creator in the play store that allows you to create shortcuts that can be placed on the home screen.
