Hi all,
I had a nifty feature back in LLama where I could set my phone to silent and it would ask me how long. It came in handy at the movies or other private events, I know it's really easy to do, and there is even this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3829624
On how to just set a toggle and set it as a tile in the exact location I wanted. The thing I'd like to add is a popup asking me how long to set it to vibrate for, and then have it return to its previous state when that time has expired. Minutes and hours would be preferable. If this isn't possible to do with a tile in the settings pulldown, then just setting up a widget would be cool.
So, to clarify:
Open the settings and click on the tile, or activate the widget on my screen
Popup appears
Choose how many hours minutes I'd like it to be on vibrate, hit 'Done'
At the end of that time, it returns to normal(Or, failing that, it just returns to a setting I choose if I can't just have it return to its last state.
I'm sure that this one is super easy, still learning Tasker, so I'm not sure where to start. As always, I appreciate all of the help in this AWESOME community! Every time I come to XDA, no matter what the subject is, I remember what community help forums used to be like.
The simple answer is to set vibration mode on then create a scene with two data entries (number, text field, whatever) one for hours and the other for minutes. Use those values to create a wait in the task and after the wait, switch vibration mode off.
What I personally hate about that method is the task is just sitting there counting down. I prefer to make use of a time context in a profile. That means the time entered in a scene needs to be converted to a future time so the profile will trigger at that time.
I didn't feel like writing everything that covered the methods of creating a task like this. The following link is to a project you can import that covers the bases of turning on vibration mode and turning it off again. It's toggled from one of Tasker's quick settings tiles (#2). The vibration mode can be cancelled either based on the delay entered (time), or through a cancel button in a notification, or by tapping the same quick settings tile again.
The actions in this project are heavily commented.

The last tab on the HTC's home plugin is where you set up the sound (normal, silent, vibrate or automatic). Can someone tell me how the automatic setting works? Looking at the icon it seems like its similar to timed profile. Where are the settings corresponding to that?

I wonder which part of this is automatic?
Once you select this profile your phone will ring and make noise when you have a new appointment ect, however during "busy" times as set in your appointments the phone will act as if it is on vibrate only.
Great feature, however once you have selected it once, it is basically always on.
Free time = Normal sounds
Busy Time = Silent with vibrate.
Hope this clarifies it for you.

Hmmm.... Mine works correctly & I am able to toggle it on & off & it only defaults to the manner mode if I have it selected.
Sounds like you shoul try another version. I use Xplodes version, however I have incorporated the fixed weather & brightness .dll.
Device: Pebble Time
Goal:
No Bluetooth connection
Start a repeating timer (vibrate every 5mins)
By shortcut button (ie. Long press up)
Without leaving the watchface
Stop by same method.
Anyone have an Idea how to do this?
The only way I can think of is using Tasker (needs bluetooth) or using a timer app (leaves watchface to go to app).
Any help is much appreciated
Pebble Cloud would make adding this function easy. They have great examples and tutorials. That would be one way to add this.
Your idea about tasker would work also, you would need to start a timer, alert, restart timer, stop timer if pebble connects.
Message me if you are interested in Pebble Cloud, I can send you a zip of the basic time date weather battery bluetooth disconnect layout to get started. It's actually a lot of fun to write your own watch face!
I created Turbo Notify under [ Tasks ]
I created an action named Notify for Turbo Notify
Notify:
Title: Turbo Modes
Text: Toggle CPU Speeds
Under Actions: I added - Plugin / Kernel Aduitor then Configured it to toggle a cpu profile called Maximum.
I added 2 more. basically 3 toggles for Kernel Aduitors profiles.
So then I setup a Profile to work off of Device Boot then pointed it to Turbo Notify
So my question is this. Turbo Modes always comes up when the device boots. But the buttons below it do not always come up. Sometimes they may even go away during device use.
I am new to tasker and am a nub. Just wondering if I am missing something obvious. When I go into tasker then go into Tasks / Turbo Notify There is the action Notify and tap on the Play icon at the bottom left, the buttons show up on the notification. ( lil green light/icon shows up)
Sorry if it is a nub question. But how can I make it active all the time, and start on boot? The notification is always there, just not the buttons.
- Thnx in advance
I created a task to mimic what your doing. The buttons disappeared on me when unlocking the screen after my battery got (very) low. I've not had a lot of time to play with this, but I did notice when the buttons were missing, the notification did not look like it was expanded. They came back after a few notification drawer open/close cycles.
Still, I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Some thoughts;
Do you have icons assigned to the notification and each button? If not, try adding them.
Is "run in foreground" checked in the preferences -> monitor settings?
Yes I have icons assigned. Built-In ones. And yes to "run in foreground"
I have the priorities set to max, I don't know if that makes a difference.
Like I said I am new to tasker, I'm wondering if i overlooked something simple. Dunno.
Long story short, I have a friend who has a slight skin condition (little keratinous bumps). Much like someone who is a habitual nail biter, she will start picking at them, and will actually end up going too far and bleeding/potentially scarring.
She uses her flashlight on her phone to do it, for the contrast. She has asked me for help, to ask if there is a way for me to receive an automated notification (SMS would be preferable, but email is okay if it is easier) when she uses her flashlight on her phone.
Preferable would be "if flashlight is on for more than 30 seconds, send notification" to avoid false positives, but if it's easier to just do it every time the flashlight is on, all the better.
I know Tasker can likely do this, with plugins or without, but my first experience with Tasker was literally downloading the app and dicking around in it last night.
Any and all help sincerely welcomed.
It's not straight forward to attempt to monitor the torch state. So a quick way to do what you want is to remove the quick tile she uses to turn on the torch and replace it with one that turns the torch on through tasker.
Create a task that toggles the torch on then on the next run of the task back off again. That same task sets a variable, then on the next run clears the variable. This task gets assigned to a quick setting button or widget on the home screen.
Then use a profile to monitor the state of the variable, when the variable is set do a wait action for 30 seconds, and send the SMS. Inside the action to send the SMS, use an if statement that the variable is still set. This way of the torch had been turned off, the message won't be sent.

There is so much do not disturb customization in this version of android or perhaps specific to oneplus. I am not sure which. That I'm not sure how to make this do what I'm used to it doing on my previous device LG G4. During the day I have it more or less as follows I may be forgetting some things:
Only ring if the phone call is from someone in my contacts.
Text messages always sound etc no matter who sent them.
Email always sounds.
Calendar always sounds.
What I need is the profile to silence everything while I sleep. To do this on the LG G4 I had a sleep profile from 12am to 12pm that set all volume controls to zero. And somehow though I can't remember ended that sleep profile early if I had an alarm go off during that time frame so that I could be disturbed because I was no longer sleeping after the alarm went off. The reason for the 12am to 12pm time frame was to give leeway to time going to bed and also time for waking up without an alarm. The idea was so that I didn't forget to silence things before going to be and forget to undo that once I was awake.
So typically DND settings built into android allow at least close to this level of control. I'm not sure how Oxygen OS is configured, but on a Pixel I can configure DND to ring only for starred contacts, but allow text and other notifications through. Or, silence everything.
All of that said, you should be able to manage volume levels through Tasker, reject (send to voicemail) calls that are not in your contacts.
If you import your old profile, doesn't it work on the OnePlus?

Stupid me I forgot to backup my old tasker stuff so I have to start from scratch again.
In the do not disturb setting UI of the settings UI there are the following:
Toggle DND on/off: this is toggled on and is set to stay on all the time.
Behavior heading
Notifications: tapping it opens a new UI giving you some default choices for notifications in general. I have this set to no sound at all. And override DND in specific areas outside of this part of settings regarding notifications from SMS/MMS messages, email, voicemail, calendar alarms. Might be one or two I am forgetting to mention.
Exception heading
Calls: tapping here brings up settings to allow calls from (anyone, contacts only, starred contacts only, none.) I have this set to contacts only.
Messages: same detail as calls. Set same as calls.
Other sounds: toggles to allow alarms, media, and touch sounds. I have these toggled to allow.
As for the other stuff that overrides DND I accessed that setting from within each of the apps settings. Not sure if that was a redirect from the app settings to a system settings area that I'm not aware of how to get to otherwise. So what I need is a profile that will mute everything while I sleep and return to how everything is currently set. On the LG G4 I accomplished this by turning all volumes to zero for sleep and then restored them all to 100% upon either the end time trigger of the sleep profile on upon an alarm I set to get up before the end of the timeframe of the profile.
What I was wondering if this was the way to go or if a more simple toggle one setting would accomplish it. I didn't see any DND setting in the system setting for no interruptions at all despite the overrides set. What I'm thinking is the same approach as before and set media, notification, ringer, and system volumes to zero and restore to 100% at end. The part I can't remember how I did it was ending the sleep profile when an alarm goes off that I set to a time prior to the end of the timeframe of the profile. Any idea how I would have done that?
I think which ever way gets you where you want to be is the way to go [emoji6]
On my Google phone, that's the ability to mute everything except alarms. There is also a toggle to disable DND when an alarm goes off.
As far as using tasker to turn volumes back up when an alarm goes off, my way of doing that is to intercept the notification for the alarm. Again, I'm using Google clock, and the way the notifications work may be different on your device.
Here is a taskernet share of a basic project using a notification intercept of the Google Clock alarm. Because there can be namespace collisions with imported projects, I append a variant of my username into variables, task and project names.
For everything to work the way it did I would need the sleep profile to end when an alarm goes off. The problem is I can't remember how that was done. I don't see an end condition that can be added to the sleep profile. The actual sleep profile is the only part I can remember enough to have replicated at this point. It being a from 12am to 12pm with a start task that turns all the volumes down to zero and an end task that turns them all back up. The alarm part I can't recall how it was done.
What was wrong with the notification intercept I shared?
That particular project was to put a large dismiss/snooze on the screen for a low vision individual, but it intercepts the alarm firing notification (for Google clock) and as I already said, intercepting the notification is the way I would do it.
It looks like it is a nice project, but it is requiring a plug-in. However the toggle was made before didn't require any additional things to be added. Isn't there a native event or state that a profile can trigger when an alarm goes off?
I assumed you tried using the native alarm clock or alarm done events in a profile and those didn't work. If you haven't, then try them. They don't work on my devices.
You could research java functions to get the next alarm and use the native java function action to then set a profile time context.
Remembered that tasker was designed to be a framework into which functionality could be added through plugins.
One of those is probably what was used on my LG G4. Now to figure out if this was a part of the one profile or a separate profile. I assume 2nd profile as I don't see any way of adding a 2nd end condition to the first. I remember when it was originally designed the conversation arriving at a solution to function as wanted was a long one. What bothered me is that the thread it took place in is missing from the forum it took place in. I even attempted to inquire there again about making it but after a week of no response I figured it was no longer a good place to post at.

What do you mean "2nd end condition"? A second context (condition) in the profile? Long press the first context.
The sleep profile uses time condition 12am to 12pm. I only need a 2nd condition that ends it but doesn't impact the start. I know for sure I can do that with a second profile now that I know what I needed to use to as event trigger. I can run a task that toggles off the sleep profile and toggles it back on some hours later to trigger again at 12am. I wasn't sure if the alarm event could be an alternative condition for end so that the sleep profile was 12am to alarm done or 12pm.
