Post your EPIC TASKER PROFILES here! They need not be specific to the Nexus 7 but that's your audience so please don't post ones that are only useful on phones! If you can't be bothered to go into detail on how you did it, at least post what it is you did that was so uber, so that we can figure it out for ourselves!

No Nexus 7 and a tasker noob but if i figure something neat out, i'll put it up and also export the profile to .xml (i believe?) and upload it for people to download
I basically made a profile to turn on Airplane Mode if idle for 10 minutes and not on charger.
Typically my usage on it is consistent so if I haven't used my Nexus in that long, I don't want it wasting battery looking for WiFi or syncing twitter. If I don't have the Nexus I have my phone.
Also have a display unlocked to go out of airplane mode when I unlock it.
Here's what I have so far. Just bought it yesterday.

That last bit with all the button presses is the only way I have found to reset a live wallpaper from a static one.

Bump... I currently have an auto airplane mode one set up when the display is off.. Anyone else using Tasker with their Nexus 7?
There are people who DON'T use Tasker?
Ones in blue are ones I use on the N7, rest are ones on the Phone
Profiles:
Location based Home/Work Profiles
Calendar event based "Quiet" profile
Time based "Night" profile w/ "manual" trigger (AC + flipped on face for those early nights)
Context based "Car" profile (AC + Some Car related program... Waze is the normal trigger), goes back to previous when AC disconnects
Tracking Related:
Uploads my location to my web server every 10 minutes
Can upload my location as often as every 5 seconds in another "mode"
Recovery:
If I receive an SMS or EMail with a certain phrase in it, it'll act on a command in the email/SMS
----- Example: One command sends back location, current phone number, last call in, last call out, last sms # in, last sms # out, battery level, some other misc stuff responded to the email or sms it came from
If the phone number on the phone changes (ie: SIM changes), it'll kick off the above example and send it every 5 minutes to a predefined SMS
Utilities:
Download some geocaching data from my server every night and unzip it ready to be imported
Based on location, dings me if I'm still at the house at 7:25 to remind me to get moving to drop off daughter at school
Based on location, dings me if I'm still at work to pick up at 5pm
Dings every 2 minutes if I've missed a phone call, sms, or voice mail
Tells sleepbot I'm going to sleep and triggers my Night profile if it's after a set time and it's on AC and flipped face-down
If Car Home is running, launch Waze for navigation
----- and when we've stopped Waze and AC is unplugged, stop Car Home and turn off
Widget that when ran, turns off GPS, waits a second, then runs a News app
----- Because the news app is f'ing braindead and stalls until it gets a GPS lock
----- And when we exit the news app, kill it, turn on GPS again.
Widget that when ran counts down a predefined time, lowering volume, and eventually doing a MEDIA stop. ie: Music fade
Screen off on my tablet turns off wifi and bluetooth; and when opened up again, it turns them back on if they were previously on
If I turn on my tablet and it can't find a wifi connection in 10 seconds, it asks if I want to enable bluetooth. I have bluetooth tethering enabled on my phone, so this way it tethers to the phone easily if I'm not near wifi.
Puts phone into suspend mode if upside down. This way if it turns on in my pocket, it goes back to sleep immediately
----- Unless the phone is ringing or I'm on a call
Run a script which backs up my SD card to my Linux workstation nightly
----- Uses Secure Settings, sh script, rsync, enables wifi if it's off before starting
NFC:

------ Until I get in the car and the tag in my cradle is scanned, or it's after 5:30
Car tag, enable Bluetooth GPS Provider which connects to my bluetooth GPS, starts Car Home
Sleep tag, same as flipping the phone on its face mentioned earlier, but really don't use this one much
I'm having trouble with this airplane mode one. Sometimes it won't turn off the WiFi when the screen is off and ends up doing it when I have the screen turned back on. Or it will wait the 5 minutes after i have the screen on then turn wifi off and aiplane radios on. I'm a newb when it comes to tasked so any help would be awesome. Does this look right?

I wrote a tasks for both my phone and my tablet that text my boss who always hides in the back room when I need help. Initially I accidentally texted him at like 2am, so I created tasks that modify a variable so I can turn the function on and off. Sort of a safety feature that prevents me from angering him. So long story short, when I need help on the floor, I just click a home screen widget that asks him to the come out via sms.

I don't think tasker has the built in function to turn tether on, but you can launch a third party app like "bluetooth autotether", that should do the trick (it works for me at least
I have installed Open Garden on phone and Nexus7. BT on my phone is always on. Whenever I turn on BT on my Nexus7, tethering is automatically initiated.
So I set up a tasker profile on my Nexus7 to turn BT on whenever wifi is not connected, and turn it off when it is.
Works like a charm. :cyclops:

Cool, I was just thinking of setting up a profile that when I pressed the icon, it sent a message to my phone, which in turn, would activate tethering on my phone. Unfortunately, I can't think of a way to send that message. Can we send SMS via NFC or Bluetooth?

Setting up Open Garden is pretty simple. Just install the app on both devices and follow the on-screen instructions.
In Tasker you then could define a profile "BluetoothTether" (or whatever you'd like to name it) which - like every tasker profile - consists of contexts and tasks.
The contexts define when the tasks will be exceuted. I added a context for Wifi not being connected and another one for the display being on.
Then I defined an enter task "BluetoothOn" and an exit task "BluetoothOff".
So whenever I have no Wifi connection AND my display is on (multiple contexts are connected via an AND-condition in Tasker), Bluetooth will be activated (enter task). If a wifi connection is established or the display is switched off, BT will be deactivated (exit task).

If you're talking about Bluetooth tethering, just leave it enabled all of the time on your phone. Yes, it forces bluetooth on, but bluetooth uses almost zero power when not active.
Here is my attempt at a weather notification!
I have shortcut set to run it, but once it's in the notification bar all you have to do is click it to refresh.
This uses secure settings to turn on/off gps. Then turns your lat/lng to a zipcode. Then checks weather.com for current condition and temp.

I'm running Tasker on my Evo 3D and the Nexus 7. I'm working on ideas for profiles that will work with both.
For instance, when I'm at work or home, I don't need the wifi hotspot on the phone active, so Profile that, turning it on when I'm out and about.
Then on the Nexus, if not connected to some other WiFi source, it means I'm out and about, so connect to the hotspot.
There has got to be all kinds of ways to harness the possibilities of two devices communicating with each other and both using Tasker...

Could not find this kind of simple app on xda so I wrote 3 quick apps. No screens or user interaction just execute them to set sound profile to Silent, Vibrate or Normal. SHould work with WM6.1 and up with or without Touchflo. You do need CF3.5
3/12/2010: Added PFSwitch utitlity which has the follwing switches:
Run with no switch:
Read current phone setting and move to the next profile. This toggles between Normal, Vibrate & Silent.
Run with 1 switch:
onoroff = toggle between on and silent only
onorvibe = toggle between on and vibrate only
normal = go to normal mode
vibe = go to vibrate mode
silent = go to silent mode
Run with 3 switches:
normal x y = go to normal and set system volume to x and ring volume to y (note x & y can be 0,20,40,60,80,100)
Run with 5 switches:
normal x y run runparms = same as 3 switches but when exiting run program 'run' and send params 'runparams'
Some examples:
PFSwitch silent = set phone to silent profile
PFSwitch normal 60 100 = set phone to normal sound with system sound at 60% and ring volume at 100%
PFSwitch normal 100 100 "\windows\iexplore.exe" "www.xda-develpoers.com" = set sound to normal both system and ring at 100% and when done launch internet explorer to go to xda website
PFSwitch silent 0 0 "\Windows\ctlpnl.exe" "cplmain.cpl,11,0" = set phone to silent and when exiting run Control Panel and open to tab 11 ident 0 (Menu Items I think)
Note: to run a program you must have the complete path since win mo does not allow relative paths.
PFSwitch V2.0
Added 9 new switches which are optional.
Switch 6 = ACTimeout
Switch 7 = ACTimeoutUnchecked
Switch 8 = BatteryTimeout
Switch 9 = BatteryTimeoutUnchecked
Switch 10 = Brightness
Switch 11 = ACSuspendTimeout
Switch 12 = BattSuspendTimeout
Switch 13 = ACSuspendTimeoutSave
Switch 14 = BattSuspendTimeoutSave
Example:
PFSwitch "" "" "" "" "" "" "" 30 0 3 "" "" "" "" would set backlight timeout on and at 30 seconds and brightness to 3
thanks
Thanks for this ebernazz2.
Been looking for ages for something just like this.
niccccccceee...
These sort of apps are always usefull. I just wish there was an app like this to toggle between USB and ActiveSync...
You placed 3 copies of the same file in each cab Instead you should have just placed the exe in a folder inside %CE1% ("Program Files" folder according with OS language) and the shortcut in %CE11% ("Start Menu/Programs" files folder according with OS language)
Would you be willing to make a version that toggles normal->vibe->mute each time the app is launched and with command line support (so we can create shortcuts with the command to select which profile to set)?
Sure I will make a single app that goes from normal to vibrate to silent if no command line argument is passed and if an argument is passed then it will go to that one.
Eric
Here you go. I don't have my phone with me to test this so please let me know if it does not work.
PFSwitch will toggle between normal, vibe and silent if run without any command line input. If you prefer to have a command line input to get to a specific profile then simply run it with one of the following switches:
normal
vibe
silent
Eric
Thank you! Already tested in my device and both toggle and command functions are working
I don;t understand what you mean by an app from USB to activesync. I don;t ever connect my phone to my PC so is tat what you are asking for?
Eric
Recent phones (like the Samsung Omina) have the ability to either connect to a PC by means of ActiveSync (RNDIS) or real USB connection (Mass Storage mode for memory cards or internal storage).
The advantage of the Mass Storage mode is that it's much faster and can be used in a Win PC without ActiveSync or other OSes.
I currently have a link in my today screen to a dirty MortScript I wrote (but most likely it's written in a device specific way and only works in the Omnia):
Code:
usb = RegRead ( "HKLM", "Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers", "DefaultClientDriver" )
If ( usb eq "RNDIS" )
Run ( "\Windows\USBSetting.exe" )
Sleep ( 200 )
SendSpecial ( "Down" )
Sleep ( 50 )
SendSpecial ( "CR" )
Sleep ( 50 )
SendOK
ElseIf ( usb eq "Mass_Storage_Class" )
Run ( "\Windows\USBSetting.exe" )
Sleep ( 200 )
SendSpecial ( "Up" )
Sleep ( 50 )
SendSpecial ( "CR" )
Sleep ( 50 )
SendOK
EndIf
See my PM ans see if that helps. If not let me know.
Eric
I get you now. Let me see if it is just a registry update or do I have to call a function in core.dll.
Eric
I think that just changing the registry won't work (or at least I wasn't able to do a MortScript to do so... though I'm really not a coder).

You are correct. The problem comes from the necessary events that winmo needs. In essence the app you used is loading the appropriate drivers that are specific to the hardware manufacturer. That needs to happen through ActivateDeviceEX function which is why simple setting of the registry won't help (it actually will assign the a new number in the registry HKLM\Drivers\active). I see no easy way around that coupled with the problem that the driver is manufacturer dependent.
Eric
Sounds like a big hassle for such an apparently small function...
I really hate how so much stuff in WinMo is device specific though it just seems like a side effect to the fact that Microsoft leaves all these things up to the device manufacturers... Maybe this will change in WinMo7 (not that it'll be available for my device anyway...). I really wish that the mobile OSes were in many aspects more like the PC OSes (like the fact you can install the OS if your device has the specs to run it rather than your manufacturer choosing if you are "allowed" to update it).

Hi, I am using action screen to build a phone profile switcher: night, gps, car, outdoor, home, internet, mute...The code controls succesfully the system volume but I do not seem to update with success the ringer volume. Would it be possible to add a functionality to your app to define mode (mute, silent, normal) and at the sametime setup the volume for both ringer and system? Or could you help me understand if it is something that can be controlled writing to the registry? it is device specific? the scripts I found so far do not work in my polaris
Not sure what you mean.... I have an app that rotates from silent to vibrate to ring or you can set a switch to go directly to a profile. If you want to control sound or profile I can give you code but it would be Visual Studio code. What is Action Screen? IF you are asking if the system and ringer volume require 2 methods to set the answer is yes. You have to set both if you want both to change. Do you want to see the difference between setting the system sound vs ringer sound?
Eric
OK, actionscreen is an old htc program used to launch new sms, new mms and so on. It is just a popup menu (fullscreen) that gets away if not used after a couple of seconds. It is simply an app that has shortcuts written to the registry and launches them.
In my case I have not been able to start using visual studio, so I usually work with mortscript to launch scripts. In combination with any popupmenu like actionscreen I launch mosrtscript files that change the profile: eg my car profile will set bt discoverable, wifi off, full brightness, etc. my night profile with mute the system sound but keep the ringer volume in case someone calls for something important. My internet profile will open wifi, disable bt, etc. Using mortscipt I am able to change the icon so when I choose a profile the wifi icon gets red if activated and the profile icon gets the image of the active profile.
So basically I want an exe or mortscript file that can do two things at the same time: switch or set the mode (mute, silent, vibrate) and define the volume for the ringer and for the system. I do not know if it is more clear what I am looking for ?¿!!'¡'¿?!
thanks
I get you now.
I could write a .net app that takes 3 parameters. Lets say I call it SetSound2.
You would then use SetSound2 x y z where x would be mute, vibe or normal - and y would be the system volume level (20,40,60,80,100 percent) - and z would be the ringer volume (same numbers as y).
Would that help you?

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible using tasker (or any other app) to keep checking if an NFC tag is present (say every 5 minutes) to maintain a certain set of conditions (e.g. bluetooth on, car mode on etc)
Not sure it is possible but was wondering...

Tasker + secure settings plug-in + nfc re-tag will do the job.
New profile:
Condition: Every X minutes
Action : turn on nfc (secure settings)
Wait 10s
turn off nfc (secure settings)
New task (let's name it XYZ) : Whatever you want to do
NFC re-tag: tag detected ==> launch tasker task XYZ
So every 5 minutes tasker will turn nfc on, if the tag is near, nfc re-tag will launch the task to do whatever you planned, and tasker will turn nfc off.
If the tag isn't near, nfc will just turn on for 10s then turn off.
Furthermore you can add condition like : only do the check if bluetooth is on etc ...
What I do, so that my profiles switch immediately, is use other contexts to disable the mode. I.e., my car dock is horizontal so when I pick my phone up, the orientation change kills the car mode task.
You could also set it so it exits a profile when you unplug it..

how exactly do you turn on and off the NFC?
Another full solution is written here:

Try this tasker script with NFC ReTag. When the tag leave the phone, the "leave car mode" task will be performed in 2 minutes, although it's a little long time. Another annoy thing is that you will hear the NFC notification sound every 2 minutes.

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible using tasker (or any other app) to keep checking if an NFC tag is present (say every 5 minutes) to maintain a certain set of conditions (e.g. bluetooth on, car mode on etc)
Not sure it is possible but was wondering...

with Nfc.apk mod, you can do that very well.

Wow!! This is great! Didn't know work on NFC.apk was progressing well.
Does this NFC.apk also support NFC reading during screen off and lock- screen?
Will it work on stock rooted Galaxy S3 i747 (carrier versions)?
I looked around and couldn't find any that related. So why not open one!..
Anyways I'm new to Tasker and im still very noob at it so let's share the power that You have unleashed with tasker!!
**Whats Tasker?**
Tasker is an application in the android market that makes your smart phone TRULY a smart phone..
**What can Tasker do?**
Tasker can do more thinga than you can imagine! There is thousands of possibilities! Ex. I have tasker turn on my wifi as soon as I get home. And once I leave my home it automatically turns it off! I no longer have to turn wifi on and off!! ?and for thosw who leave wifi on its a plus on BATTERY! And thats just one of two of my profiles. And I just got tasker!.
☆SO WHAT ARE YOUR TASKER PROFILES!!?☆

I just want to share my Tasker configuration.
(When I am connected to my home Wifi)
*Enter tasks
- Disable PIN lock
- Mobile Data Off
- Autosync On
*Exit tasks
- Enable PIN lock
- Autosync off
- Mobile Data On
- Wifi Off
- Bluetooth On
- Wait 2 Mins
- Bluetooth Off if %PACTIVE !~ *CarBluetooth*
CarBluetooth is my profile name when I am in the car.
As soon as my Bluetooth turns on, it will automatically connect to my car's bt.
(When I am connected to my car's bt.)
*Enter tasks
- Wait 10 Seconds
- Media Control Play
- Media Volume level 6
*Exit tasks
- Bluetooth Off
- Wifi On
- Wait 2 Mins
- Wifi Off if %PACTIVE !~ *Wifi*
Where *Wifi* is the name of the Profile when I am connected to my home Wifi.
As soon can see its all automated. It doesn't require user interaction at all.

I do calls through Bluetooth and there are time I want to access the phone during the call. Only way to get screen back on is keep hitting the power button.
Is there a way to keep the screen on during a call?
Yeah, with Tasker.
I have a profile set up exactly for this.
Code:
Profile: Screen On Headset (25)
State: Call [ Type:Any Number:* ]
State: BT Connected[Name:Jabra Evolve 75 Address:70:BF:92:05:4D:C3 ]
Enter: Screen On (23)
A1: Display Timeout [ Secs:0 Mins:0 Hours:18 ]
A2: Notify [ Title:Screen On Text:Screen On Icon:hd_aaa_ext_bulb Number:0 Permanent:Off Priority:5 Repeat Alert:Off LED Colour:Red LED Rate:0 Sound File: Vibration Pattern: Category:%BATT ]
Exit: Screen Normal (26)
A1: Display Timeout [ Secs:0 Mins:1 Hours:0 ]
A2: Notify Cancel [ Title:Screen On Warn Not Exist:On ]
How do you get in to do that? Thank you

Well... Like I wrote. You create a profile that keeps your screen on when on a call and connected to a specific blue tooth headset.
When the call is ended the exit task resets the screen time out to 1min.
I also have a little pop up saying "Screen On", but that's not a must.
Do you know Tasker?
Have you worked with it?
No I haven't worked with it. I will look into it.
Yeah this is kinda annoying OnePlus has the screen off and unresponsive unless you got the power button. My other devices I have I could double tap the screen to wake.
You can probably use Tasker for this

Oh my bad, somehow I missed the earlier post about Tasker.
Typically, only time I'm actually ON a call, is while I'm at home anyway, my method of doing this is (particularly if you do not have a rooted phone):
1. developer options -> stay awake (while charging)
2. plug phone into charger.
3. make call, screen stays on.
I too find it annoying not being able to simply double tap my screen on this phone and have to use the power button (especially when you get soooo used to double tapping the screen to turn it on).
G
When I'm in my car and want to plug in for usb charging, I turn my phone upside down and place it in a padded cup holder.
Unfortunately the screen will not rotate upside down, it will only rotate 90 degrees to landscape orientation. I've tried it with both "Face Detection" on and off.
Is this a known problem? [Build: SD1A.210817.036]
FWIW, I upgraded to P6P from a Galaxy S7 Edge, and never had a problem flipping the screen upside down.
Stranger things I guess in the upside-down.
As an aside, I'll end up creating a Tasker profile to fix this glitch in the matrix.
This has never worked for me on any android phone except when I flashed custom ROMs where it was supported.
What @nuumuun said. This is normal behavior for stock Android as it comes from Google. I, too, have occasionally had use for 180-degree rotation although not so much anymore. I'll probably enable some way to do it through root, though.
Apology in advance for the teaser, but I believe I once came across an app that let me force 180-degree rotation, and it worked without root, but I didn't make note of the app / Play Store link even though I have a Google Sheet I maintain for noting "uniquely functional" apps I've used, so when I stop using them and then need them again (or to tell someone else), I can.
FWIW - I created a simple Tasker profile that has fixed the issue.
Profile: FlipUpsideDown
Settings: Restore: no
State: Orientation [ Is:Upside Down ]
Enter Task: DisplayUpsideDown
A1: Force Rotation [
Mode: Portrait Reverse ]
A2: Display AutoRotate [ ]
Exit Task: Anon
A1: Display AutoRotate [
Set: On ]
