[Question] Double tap volume down to toggle vibrate? - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Really want to kind of emulate this based on what the iPoop...er, iPhone feature. Tried to use auto input to do this but I can't figure it out

I use a combination of Tasker with Xposed Additions module. Just create a task on Tasker to set your device to vibrate and call this action through a button of your choosing on Xposed Additions. It's always worked for me...

Vanilla Lockscreen Mod help...

Hey devs,
I need to ask if anyone knows how to change the vanilla lockscreen softkey functions. Specifically, I'd like to change the volume swipe to alternate between normal (volume on) and vibrate (vibrate on, volume off). I don't prefer silent because I still want to "feel" when I get messages and such when I'm at work.
Thanks
You'll have to mod the Lockscreen.java code in AOSP in the framework base... which means you'll need to check out AOSP and do the compile of AOSP yourself.

All you have to do is go into Settings>Sound and enable Vibrate always. Then, when you swipe the jog tab is goes from normal>vibrate>back to normal.
or you could enable vibrate in silent only. either way, you dont have to mess with the fun task of trying to compile from source.

[Q] Active key to toggle sound?

I know that this is a long shot, but is there any way to assign the active key to toggle sound modes, like toggle between Normal/Vibrate? I am using Dynamic Kat, but I assume that it would apply to any Active ROM.

I too would love to be able to have the ability to toggle vibrate/sound via the active key!
I took care of it myself, with a little help from Tasker. Programmed a task to handle the toggle, exported the task as an app, and then assigned the app to the active key. I have attached the apk for anyone interested. I don't THINK you need to have tasker installed for it to work, but I haven't ever exported a task to an app before, so I can't be sure.
All the app does is toggle between regular mode and vibrate mode. It also sets the media volume on and off as well, so your phone is in complete silent mode.
If this helps you give me a thanks, or if you feel so inclined, feel free to buy me a Coke with the donate button.
Any chance you could share the tasker script/code for this?
I want to do something similar, but I want to use the active key to increase the display brightness. When I'm sleeping, I set it very low so if I look at the phone is doesn't blind me. Sometimes I forget to turn it back up when I head out, and if I then try to use the phone in normal daylight, its so dim I can't even see the screen well enough to enter my unlock code, let alone turn the brightness back up, so I want to be able to increase the brightness with a hardware button press.

Moto G 2015 gestures on 2014

Is there any way to use G 2015 gestures (wrist flicking to open camera and chopping twice for flash) on the G 2014?
Camera gesture is no problem with a tasker profile,I use one. For flashlight you need an external flashlight app like Dashlight : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spectrl.DashLight&hl=de which has a tasker plugin in the pro version. That´s because lollipop has no flashlight app even when it has flashlight-
I can send you the tasker profile for quick capture.

Would love to see the tasker profile for the quick capture, thanks!
Edit: downloaded DashLight and paid for the upgrade, but I have no idea of how to make it light up with chopping twice gesture. I'm a newbie with Tasker, actually. Can you help me?

You can see most of it in the screenshots.
make a profile with "Event",choose sensor and take a gesture like shake up/down or left/right. Than add a task, for the quick capure task I used the secure settings plugin and you need busybox installed too.
You can try it without all that and make a task just with "open camera",it might work also but I´m not sure if it works when the phone is locked and/or screen is off.
The more complicated one does.
Here is a tutorial in german: http://tuxanddroid.de/android/mit-tasker-funktionen-des-moto-x-nachbauen-shake-to-camera you should find it in english too.
With dashlight it should be similar,start with a Event/sensor/gesture profile and make a task,name it somehow (flashlight) and look for the section "plugin".There you should find the tasker plugin that came with dashlight. Choose it,maybe you can check on,off or toggle.
That´s it.

[Help] Actions in notificartion doesn't work

Hi, i'm really new to tasker, so i really need your help.
I'm trying to set up and alarms profiles that do the following:
- Change madia volumen to 5
- Reproduce a musica file.
- Add a notifications with two actions: clear notification and stop music.
When i try the task, everything is executed fine, but when i tap in the actions on the notifcations, nothing happens.
To test, I also added next:
- Wait for 1 minute.
- Stop music
- Clear notification.
And worked, just fine. So it seems to be a problem with the notification.
Any help will be appreciated.
I'm under a Galaxy J2 SM-J200M with lollipop 5.1.1, rooted with chainfire supersu v2.65
You need to set-up a profile that reacts to when you click on the notification buttons.
It's best explained by the developer Here :-}

Ok. So, the default add action into a notification doesn't work unless you integrate the action with autonotification?

Quick Toggle for Noobs to Use My Phone

Does anyone know any easy way I can toggle the following settings all at once?
-turn off hardware navigation keys
-turn on software navigation keys
-turn off lock screen or (preferably) don't require PIN/fingerprint to unlock
I ask because I often find myself having to talk my parents/friends through using my phone while I'm driving, and they don't know my PIN and can't see the navigation buttons at the bottom of my phone because I have the backlight turned off.
On my OPO, which was not-encrypted, I was content with simply disabling the PIN requirement by using a CM profile, but on my OP3T that option is grayed out (because it's encrypted, right?). I would also just use 2 QS tiles to enable the NavBar and disable the hardware keys.
Anyone know a more efficient method?

Did you find a good solution for this? I would really like to be able to switch between these modes with a quick toggle somehow. Any suggestions?

I haven't found anything. If there are terminal commands to enable or disable any of these settings maybe you could do it with Tasker.
I might look into that, but it seems like more work than I'm interested in.
