Toggling glove mode from Tasker (or with hardware buttons?) - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to toggle the glove mode on/off using Tasker in the Z3 compact? In some samsung phones you can apparently do it by writing 1 to some device files, but those do not exist in the Z3 (and the one in /sys/devices/virtual/input/clearpad/glove would require root).
Alternatively some application that would allow toggling the glove mode with the hardware buttons would be nice, ie. by touble tapping the power key or similar. The glove mode is handy with gloves on but I find it makes the screen too sensitive for normal use and going to settings to turn it on isn't exactly convinient.

I'd be interested in a solution as well, I'm from Canada and it's winter = cold as balls!
I'm sure you could use this task, How to emulate touch input in Tasker: http://youtu.be/F4h95ArBcRQ to get the desired result, but it's kind of a clunky solution.

AutoInput - No Root UI Automation: http://youtu.be/U6ajlDn3cwY

AWW HELL YES, IT WORKED!
AutoInput may just be my favorite new app! Can't wait to play around more with this.

Thanks, I tried AutoInput but the trial refuses to start without a google+ account so it did not work... Also its a bit crappy to purchase two apps to perform such a simple thing, and even then do it by a cludgy solution (automated input to settings app). Surely there must be some standard way to adjust settings in Android without having to go through the settings UI?

Agreed, it's not the most elegant solution but it does work for me. Currently I have it set up to activate Glove Mode whenever I'm not connected to Wi-Fi, which happens only when I leave home or work, the exact times when I'm wearing gloves. And, of course, it deactivates when I am on Wi-Fi.

Sorry to be a pain but is there any chance you could gimme a quick guide on the steps you took top get auto input to work for glove mode. No matter what I try I can't get it to work (closest I have so far is opening the menu above glove mode.

I made an app that enables Glove Mode if you click its shortcut. It requires root though.

Things to know about the Honor Note 8

I got the idea to create a topic about important things to know about the Note 8 such like in which country the LTE/4G will work and in which country not.
Real on screen time, tips and tricks to bypass certain issues and some other interesting things to know about the phablet.
I will update the main post everytime when something new is found and keep it up 2 date for users so everyone can see a quick fix or a quick answer.
If you have a fix for anything or information to update the list, please provide it in the reply`s so i can update the main post.
4G/LTE works in:
The Netherlands
Canada
UK
Germany
Spain
Poland
Greece
Russia

Switzerland
Indonesia
Things to know
Max recording resolution is not 2160p as said on the internet but max 1080P.
If you unlock the bootloader it will give you a warning when you boot up the phone saying your phone has been unlocked and can`t be trusted, this is normal when you unlocked the bootloader.
Only 1 of the 2 simcards can use 4g at the time, so there is no 4g for both of the simcards at the same time.
Hold power and volume up when starting the phone to get in the E-recovery menu.
There is only one version of this phone, the chinese one.
This version is called the EDI-AL10, and all the languages are provided on the phone.
Some websites who are selling this phone are telling that this phone misses certain languages such as dutch.
This is not true, every language is present so no worries.
Playstore is not included on the phone, you can simply download it from the HiApp which is already pre-installed on the phone.
The fingerprintscanner can take up to 4 fingers, the fingerprintscanner only works when you activate an unlock code or password to get out of the lockscreen.
Latest rom version is B029.
Previous B027
Previous B022
Previous B017
Quickfixes/Tips and tricks:
Push notifcations
To make push notifications work again create a widget (provided with the app) and place it on your home screen.
The widget will keep the services alive, even when you close the app in the taskmanager.
Make sure you toggle them on in the protected apps menu and put the powerplan on performance mode.
This works for all apps that came with the option to create a widget for it.
Homebutton changer (provided by kalinskym)
To disable HiVoice to allow a different application/ shortcut to work as the Home Button without being rooted. Download Debloater from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 and disable HiVoice.apk. (com.huawei.vassistant) After you have done that you won't see HiVoice anymore and will be able to change an app/ shortcut to the home button long press by going into Apps in Settings, clicking on Advance at the bottom. Then click Default app settings and finally Assistance & voice input to change assist app (home button app/shortcut)
One handed mode
To activate one handed mode drag you finger on the navigation bar from left to right to make the screen smaller and using for the right hand.
And drag it from right to left to make the screen smaller for using it with your left hand.
Once activated drag it in the opposite way once to restore full screen or tap once on the screen above that isn't in use.
Knuckle gesture/Splitscreen
To activate "Knuckle gesture" or just splitscreen, swipe your knuckle in the center of the screen from left to right or right to left.
When doing this succesfully the knuckle command will activate splitscreen.
Knuckle gesture/Advanced screenshot
Touch (knock) your knuckle on the screen and keep touching the screen, there will come a blue sparkle once activated drag a circle or square and it will give you a selection field.
On top are some figures you can choose from.
You can now select the part you want the screenshot from and save it directly on to the phone.
Double tap your knuckle on the screen to make a full screenshot. (same as volume down+power button)
Drawing an S on the screen with your knuckle will create a screen shot while it scrolls down the page.
This wil create a screenshot with a larger screenshot containing all the footage on the screen.
Now you don't have to make multiple screenshots to get everything on the screen and down.
(Check screenshot in the attachments)

This is useful information. Thanks for that! I have been having an issue with the fingerprint reader taking a second longer to unlock when the phone goes into a deep sleep; However, whenever the screen is recently turned off or when the phone is charging and I try to unlock it with the fingerprint scanner, it works super fast. It's only slow when I initially wake the phone from a deep sleep. Has this happened to you/anyone? I think it may either be an app or marshmallow doze feature. I would appreciate any suggestion/advice. Thanks.

I don`t have any delays with the fingerprint, however i use Smart Unlock to bypass the fingerprint in trusted locations.
Did you already tried to remove the old prints and register new?
Only thing else i can say if thats not working is to factory reset the phone.
on what powerplan did you put your phone? And did you toggle answer calls with fingerprint.
Sounds silly but if thats disabled there is a possibilty that the fingerprint app goes in sleep while activated for answering calls could keep it alive....Always worth trying...

I tried removing the old fingerprints and replaced with new ones. I even did a factory reset. The factory reset did it. That's what leads me to believe it's more an app than marshmallow doze. I just don't know how to identify which app. I even played with turning on all the features of fingerprint scanner. I am on performance mode. It's not a HUGE deal since the phone still unlocks faster than others, but it's a nuance since you know the phone is capable of unlocking faster. If you can think of another recommendation as to identifying the app or cause I would be grateful.

Hi, 4G works in Russia.
I think an easier way to change the voice assistant would be to download the Microsoft Clip Layer app. When it asks you to Tap on Assist app click on that setting and choose something different. I had already had HiVoice disabled when I downloaded the app so if someone else can confirm that it will work I'm sure someone would appreciate it.
4G/Lte works in Melbourne, Australia on Optus
4G/LTE is working fine in Switzerland! (16ms ping, 89Mb/s DL and 20Mb/s in UL in the alps)

Hi, I did a factory reset and confirmed that the Microsoft Clip Layer app does allow you to switch the voice assistant. It is a much easier process than disabling the app and does not require a computer hook-up.

Using tasker to simulate power button

I want to use tasker to turn the screen off. Secure Settings > Lock Device forces me to use pin, which is not what I want, as I use a finger print scanner to wake my device. Shell > Input keyevent 26 does not work either, as I am not rooted (Huawei Mate 9 pro, doesn't seem to have a reliable root yet).
I have tried doing it with System > Send intent, but that seems to have no effect. I dont know if I am doing it wrong. I have also tried
Code:
terminal task
, with a code like this (and some variants of it), without success:
Code:
am start --user 0 -a android.intent.extra.KEY_EVENT --es KEYCODE_POWER ACTION_DOWN
I have also tinkered with
Code:
android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF
...but with even less success.
Any ideas as how how I can get this to work? Either with terminal emulator or tasker send intent task?
I think you can't do that cause you're using your Fingerprint. That is a security future and Tasker can't bypass it. Don't nail me on it cause I am not sure. Maybe someone else can prove me wrong.

Maybe you could setup a workaround for this. For example, you could lower the display timeout value to one second so your device locks itself.
(Don't forget to change the timeout back to your preferred value after another second!)

Good idea. But the minimum is 7 seconds, which is too long to wait, for the solution to be worthwhile.
I found a way to do it:
1: Create a task:
display > display timeout: 8 seconds
scene: Show scene: popup - display as overlay, blocking, full screen​2: create a profile for screen on, create task:
hide scene: popup
display > display timeout: 30 seconds​
So you're hiding the ui with a black screen until the screen is really switched off after 8 seconds, right? But what happens when you press the back or home button within the 8 seconds? Does the scene disappear?
This is what I do. Just make a task with Run shell, no need for security settings app. In the command line type input keyevent 26. You then can add a short cut when you double tap the homescreen to turn off the screen.
@snorrski you might want to have a look at this:

It seems to be exactly what you wanted. It works without root and on my (unrooted) S7 Edge, I can still use the fingerprint sensor to unlock my device after locking it this way (input keyevent POWER).

I know it's been over 2 years since y'all had this discussion, but I hope this still reaches you.
The power button on my Mi A1 stopped working recently and I can't seem to find it's replacement flex cable anywhere. I'm entirely new to Tasker but I have been reading for hours now to find ways to use a screen based interaction (say a double tap on the screen) to simulate the Power button to turn the screen off while still being able to unlock my phone with my fingerprint scanner.
So far, I've understood that it is doable (with an article refering to input keyevent 26), even more so on Android Pie (with another article refering to using Global_Actions) than it was previously possible, but am entirely clueless on how. I also couldn't quite understand the process of using the remote ADB shell plugin you mention here.
Could either of the two of you please share a step-by-step how-to on how to achieve the same? It would really help a lot. Thank you
Note: I'm using unrooted Mi A1 running stock Android Pie with July 1st security patch.

Your post is getting long in the tooth. Are you still looking for help?
There are button remapping apps and apps that do double tap for off in the play store. Also, launchers can do this. Nova launcher for sure, but others I believe as well.

Hey, thanks for the suggestions. Gravity Screen, Nova Launcher as well as finally being able to understand Tasker, did help solve this issue, as I still look for a flex cable to fix the physical button issue as well.

It is. Although, the price is 3.5x the price if I got it from an authorised Xiaomi service centre (except the one in my locality doesn't have it) and about 14x than what is available at local mobile spare parts shops (again not available). Hopefully, I'll find it soon.

Tried it and it works as it should almost everything at one place... I just use mtckeys upon this.
Installed. Works great. Solves most things that I needed. So reinstalled almost all xposed modules... Bye, bye clumsy .ini files I hope dev will continue great work. If he does, we will finally get proper UI for advanced customisations.
Anyone struggling with clumsy MTC-* modules and .ini files should try this one. Free and great.
Thank you for introducing my app.

You may post replies to this thread, so you get 10 posts after which you can post your own thread. But post it in MTCB Software Development section as your work deserves that place
Once again, thank you for great work and I hope you will continue it.
Another important suggestion for you: take look to FCC Launcher (I poster that thread here also). Your app and FCC could be a great pair. Contact Dev (you may find his email in Playstore app info) and try synchronise your and his work. In past, Devs for MATCB/C/D have low or no synch and many functions overlap in their modules making mess and collisions etc. So try to complement and not overlap with FCC as he is also doing great job and provides some great special support for MTCB units specifically.

Some suggestions:
1. Add extended support for advanced (long press/double-click etc.) SWC and hw buttons (this is already supported by MTCKeys module but with clumsy .ini file which is too hard for ordinary users and most of HU owners here are not Android and Computer gurus)
2. Add toast notification for Radio station changing..

1. Add extended support for advanced (long press/double-click etc.) SWC and hw buttons (this is already supported by MTCKeys module but with clumsy .ini file which is too hard for ordinary users and most of HU owners here are not Android and Computer gurus)
2. Add toast notification for Radio station changing..

Thank you for your suggestion.
this seems to be more difficult to configure with UI
I will try to be able to support it as much as possible.
Have a nice weekend.

Hi!
Thank you for your work! I installed it on an mtcd px5, malaysk rom v. 2.0. Install was ok, module activated in xposed.
But it seems not to do any change in volume due to speed. The icon in center of screen appears as it should, but no difference in volume...
Hi, looks like a good module. The only thing stopping me replacing Xposed-MTC-Manager is feature where it keeps the HU alive while starting the engine. If you could integrate this feature, that would be great.
Thank you for your feedback.

not only does it not work, but it seems to also prevent volume changes manually. Just fyi in case you're not aware.
Could you also look into the option for the mode button to not actually pop up the favorites menu, but still stops the hu from performing its default mode action. This will then allow me to use mtcdtools to remap the mode button to my liking. Currently, when I remap it with MTCDtools, it still cycle through the default hu mode options..
Thank you for your feedback.

No, I don't think you understand. The px5 mode button on the steering wheel cannot be altered for me. It always cycle through radio..music..bt..DVD..etc..
Even if I use MTCDtools to remap, it still cycle through. With your mod, it stops cycling through. It will perform MTCDtools new mode setup instead, but also pop out your favorites. I was hoping you could have another option to disable the default mode cycling, but also does not pop out a favorite.
oops, my miss understand

Do you only want to disable the basic function of MODE?
Am i right??
It's not difficult for me.
I am just wondering how to add options. (UI or INI file)
But why would you want to disable the feature?

I want to disable mtc's mode function as I do not use the mtc music app, DVD or bt..however, I still want to be able to use the mode button on the steering wheel and map it to a different function.
Thanks!
Can't get the popup to show radio info. It works with music track info but does not show anything on radio.
I am using the latest 5.1.1 ROM with MicroG on a 1024x600 MTCC unit. I will try to use other mtcradio app and see if anything changes.
L.E. Figured it out. You also need xposedmtcradio installed in order to show radio info in the widget.

Could you please add support for changing OBD2 adapter BT name? That is provided with xposed-mtc-manager from MVG-V70 at 4pda. As I understood that you are in contact with him or other Russian Devs, you could ask him for help. Having that would be very useful feature. Many users need it and installing whole xposed-mtc-manager just for that is unnecessary burden for already overburden units like rk3066.

[Project] Air Gestures to control your phone

With the announcement of the new gestures feature for the Pixel 4 I thought: "I should try something similar with Tasker".
Here it is!
It's obviously less precise because you don't have all the extra sensors needed for accurate gestures, but on the other hand it's infinitely more customizable!
Depending on what situation you're in, you'll be able to do lots of different things!
Included are:
Music control gestures
Whatsapp gesture
These are just 2 examples. You can expand on these and do whatever you want with them!
Import the project here!
Enjoy!
Great job Joao!!!
If I can, I would like to share mine too from time ago. Hope this helps yours

Not working with both of them. Tried with google play, spotify and whatsup. After import It asked to install AutoInput and AutoNotification which I did and purchased. I allowed all the permissions but maybe some are missing...

Thanks. Can you verify that you have Tasker 5.8.2?
Also, did you give AutoNotification access to your notifications? Go to Tasker > Menu > More > Android Settings > Notification Access > Check if AutoNotification is enabled.

Yes, version 5.8.2 installed. AutoNotification has an access. All is set as you indicate. Maybe there is an issue with my proximity sensor. I test it by dialing *#77692# and by default it was off. I turned it on and It worked perfectly. On second attempt to dial It was off again. Maybe It is activated on samsung S10 only at performing specific action as making phone call?
I also checked with Sensoroid - Senso info app what sensor are there at my S10. It lists about 52 sensors found including TMD4910 Proximity sensor, Proximity pocket and Palm Proximity Sensor.

Ah yes, that is possibly the issue! I've had reports from other people that the S10's sensor is not working as it should and only turns on during calls... Unfortunately I can't help with that one Check here for example.
I would love to hear some other ideas that people on this thread used when activating this. I'm not a WhatsApp user, so I'm only basing my experiences through GPM. Any additional apps where this could be advantageous?

Is it posible to control Google Assistant with gestures? Just asking.
correcting my comment, it works perfectly now
great job
I'm new to tasker, and wanted to know if you can trigger the camera to take a photo with this air gesture?
I imported the file from the OP to my OnePlus 6T. This is the only thing I have setup in Tasker, and for the life of me I can not get it to function. An I missing something

Start with making sure the proximity sensor is working. A poster above with a Samsung had a problem like that. If you need an app to test it, try Sensors Toolbox
Then look at the tasker log and see if there is any messages there that will help.
Are you trying the WhatsApp or music controls?

I actually installed this to see what was up. On the music version, the profile "Proximity With Music" has three contexts. The AutoNotification context is set to trigger the profile only on notifications from specific apps. You need to check and make sure your app is enabled there. Also, if you don't have AutoNotification installed, it won't work.
As far as taking a photo, that definitely can be done. Here is a Air Camera project. It builds on Joao's project and requires AutoInput to be installed.
It's possible that it won't work out of the "box" due to two things.
1) The "Camera" profile gets triggered based on the Google Camera app opening. This would need to be updated to whichever camera app is used.
2) In the "Handle Camera Gesture" profile entry task, the AutoInput action is expecting the Google Camera app. If that doesn't exist, that action can be updated to operate the shutter button in whatever camera app is installed.
NOTE: In the "Handle Camera Gesture" profile entry task, there is a paused action, "Take Photo". That is actually the Tasker action that will take a photo regardless whether the camera is open or not. It's a bit silly in this application but could be used instead of the AutoInput action.

Launcher and multiple screens combined?

I am new to android auto.
I have been searching for a way to setup my display for the actual driving phase. I wold like to drive with a fairly big navigation window, a small audio window (to show and control what I am listening to (Radio/player/phone/etc)), and a small launcher combined.
All launchers are full screen that are good for selecting other applications but they are hidden after selection.
I am searching for a way to have Multiple screens with a main undisturbed navigation display and a Secondary small audio display to show and control what I am listening to (and showing phone data when a call comes in). All with a small launcher.
Anyone familiar with such application/launcher that can be set as home screen?
Thanks.
