Since NFC Tasker launcher has Tasker support, I have been spending the day playing with NFC tags I have made a few tags, the most simplerest of tags is the one that is stumping me... I want to toggle Android Tether, but it seems with Tasker, I am only given the option to toggle the stock Sprint tether- not Android tether. (Android tether works flawlessly and doesn't yield a error 67 as the Sprint tether does)
Any guidance on how I might go along with this? I am continuing to read and research. I am new to Tasker, obviously.
Hey, thanks guys for any insight.

OK, I want to make a NFC Tag for when I get home which will turn WiFi on, Connect to my Home Network, and change my mobile connection to 2G only.
I can use NFC Task Launcher to do the first 2, however, I have no idea how to integrate (or even configure) Tasker to change from 3G to 2G.
Could anyone give me a walkthrough as to how to do this?
Cheers

Okay after poking around a bit I think it's as simple as you creating the Tasker task and NFC Task Launcher launching said task upon reading a specific tag. I may be wrong as I have neither of the apps yet, but in a few minutes I will.
Have you found any good walk-throughs yet? I am new to both apps. Tasker seems to have a bit of a learning curve.
I'm thinking about building an application for personal use. The details aren't important but one of the things i would like to be able to do is turn the wifi hotspot on or off. I've looked around, but haven't been able to find anything on the subject, or whether or not it's even possible.
Does anybody have some information on this?
Most ICS ROM's have that option built in...have you tried app store search or just a google search?

If you intend to have your phone automattically turn on wifi hotspot based on certain profiles, Tasker will do that for you. You can find it in the playstore. It's a paid app though.
Well, i suppose suggestions for apps that do the sort of thing i want to do. Unfortunately there's nothing out there that does what i want, because I want something rather unusual.
I spoke to a friend yesterday and he pointed me in the direction of the API i want (which contrary to my initial assumptions was not DHD specific), so when i have the time i can put together my tool.
Thanks anyway
Ok so I have been looking through the forums to find a way to get Bluetooth tethering for my ATT note 2... i have no clue how to do "Tethering enabler by electron73". I also have been trying many apps on the Google play store, no such luck. I want it for my Android Radio the Parrot Asteroid. I rooted my phone but still cant do anything or find an answer. If someone can help me out and give me the dumb-*** guide Id appreciate it thanks

First you have to have a Bluetooth capable device to begin. If you are trying to use a computer you should check for the capability first. If not, you can purchase a Bluetooth dongle from Amazon or something. Foxfi should work, although the actual app has been taken off of the play store for sprint users. You can however purchase the key (full version) from the play store. I don't know about ATT tho. If you vsn find the app online on 4shared or something, you should be good to go.
if you're rooted, why not just use the TrevE Mod WiFi Tether. I assume WiFi connect works for Parrot Astroid. It's not hard to setup and easy to use; I'm assuming you are moderately tech savvy since you were able to root.
I've started using OpenVPN, and to use it I disable wifi, enable data, and then get into OpenVPN to establish the connection. That's not convenient at all, and neither is getting off the VPN.
What's the best way of creating a single icon for such things?
I thought perhaps Tasker, which I've read about but not used yet, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm overlooking something else.
I'm on stock 4.1.2 now but am considering CM10.

Tasker + Secure Settings can do this but you may need to figure out a script to get it to also enable OpenVPN's connection.
Tasker is worth every penny

OK, thanks, I'm beginning to bludgeon my way through Tasker now (a bit of a steep learning curve). I'm curious, though, which part of what I want to do is Secure Settings for? I've read its description, but it's hard to pick out which particular thing there you had in mind.
Howdy all!
My request is simple... All I want to do is control my WiFi Hotspot with Tasker. I've searched high and low people with Pixel 2XLs have reported everything from, "it just works", to "try Nougat+ Tether Toggle", etc. Everything I've tried hasn't worked.
My current setup is as follows:
1. Apr 2018 Android Security Update
2. TWRP v3.2.1-2
3. ElementalX Kernel 1.06 (Apr Security Update)
4. Magisk v16.3
I've verified that Tasker has root privileges. Tasker's built in WiFi Tether control tells me "Action WiFi Tether Failed". When using Nougat+, I get closer, with this error: "Neither User xxxxx not current process has android.permission.TETHER_PRIVILEGED".
Now, I haven't installed Nougat+ as a system app, because I believe that will trigger SafetyNet, etc., which will effectively break a bunch of stuff from working like Google Pay. Is this a correct statement? Does anyone know of another way that doesn't involve modifying the system partition?
FYI, my service is AT&T, and I have tethering enabled. I can also manually enable Tethering by tapping on the tile. I just want a way to automate it.
I believe there might be a problem with the April security update. Personally, I am not very well versed in using code, although I think that there might be an easy fix that we can just turn tethering on or off through provisioning. If anyone has any tips on how we can do that through the build.prop, or any other way, that would be much appreciated!

It's not the APR update... I've had the problem with March as well, I've only just now decided to root, etc. in hopes of solving the issue.
To be clear, I'm already provisioned, and I'm not trying to skirt paying for tethering. As I indicated, I pay for tethering as part of my plan, and it works without an issue, but to enable it I need to manually tap the Hotspot tile in the Quick Settings Tiles.
I would simply like to be able to enable automatically.
Also - I believe modifying Build.Prop would certainly trigger SafetyNet to fail, which again, kills Google Pay, etc. - so this is a non-starter.
Bump?
I have tried the plugin and it works if you allow it to change the system settings.

I still couldn't get it working, BUT, someone converted it over to a Magisk Module, and the module version works perfectly well.
Problem Solved? I think so.
Can you share it with me?

It's in the magisk repository. Just open the Magisk Manager, and click "downloads", and search for "Tether".
