Any idea how to enable/show accessibility Services? - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

I have the Joying KK unit, and when I was trying out light flow app on it, I realized that this set does not show the accessibility/services option at all in settings.. so there's no way to let Light flow to be enabled in accessibility.
Anyone has had any idea how to enable accessibility of apps on this unit?

That only works if it is rooted, right? I haven't had any luck rooting my android head unit, but I really want accessibility service

Start a new task in Tasker. Add task: Plugin, Secure Settings, Configuration, System+ Actions, Accessibility Services. Select the service you want from the drop down menu. Tap button for Enabled. Tap the save icon up top. Back out to Task Edit screen. Hit the play button, Done. Only needs to be done once.

It didn't get the job done.
After doing what you said, I opened the app (the one to which I wanted to grant accessibility service access) and tapped on the accessibility service button and then, the app crashed.
It doesn't even work for the Tasker itself. Tasker doesn't run tasks which need accessibility service.

[Q] Turn off Haptic Feedback/Vibration while using TV app?

Hey All,
Does anyone know a way to turn off haptic feedback for the Sense TV app. I love the app and it has since replaced my TV remote, the only thing is it vibrates pretty intensely with every button press. (Just about goes crazy if you try to go up and down quickly with the volume.) I'd like to be able to just turn it off, but have not found a way to do so. Also, I have haptic feedback turned off via the Sense settings, so I figure its a built in feature of the app that may have to be modified. Let me know what you guys think.
Also, if it matters, I'm running ViperOne and have not found a way to tweak it through there or Xposed either.
Thanks!
Check the xposed module "app settings" and revoke the permission Vibrate.
Hope this helps.

Silly Question

But how can I turn off the pedometer?

not exactly "disabling" it, but you can pause it
open up s-health, go to the pedometer section, hit the settings button "pause pedometer"
if you happen to have a device (watch/band/etc) that can count steps, i would think you can use the "Switch device" option at that same menu and select that device, then just never sync it.. that _should_ effectively turn off the pedometer on the phone *shrugs*
Thanks alot

Options to turn screen off without hardware button that allows you to re-open?

I've tried various screen off apps and they all require secondary security to turn back on when using the fingerprint scanner. Any ideas?
Would love for an option where the fingerprint scanner can also turn the screen off or even an OK Google command, but then allows the fingerprint scanner to reopen without secondary security.

hmmm, you can try to use command 'input keyevent 26' , for tasker task...
this will required root though.
Jackpot! A widget pointing to a tasker task that uses secure settings to run command 'input keyevent 26' as root works like a charm!

I was just going to post a similar question. I don't have the phone yet, but i thought maybe someone can create something that allows the fingerprint scanner to turn off the screen. The finger is already in that area so it would be cool to either hold fingerprint scanner for a second to turn screen off or double tap the scanner.

Thanks for this! Added it as a Tasker shortcut for double-tap gesture in Nova and it works like a charm.
Great tip. Got tasker set to Nova pinch out to turn off. But also have option to run task from Notification menu as well.
For those who have never used tasker before like me here is a quick note on how to set it up:
Select TASKS tab at top, select + button at bottom, give it a name (screen off) and press check mark.
You will then enter Task Edit. Press + to add an action, then select Code as your action category, then choose Run Shell.
Paste in the text: 'input keyevent 26' under the Command field. Check the Use Root option. Back out once and choose an icon for it if you want at the right lower corner. You can now place a widget for the task or launch the task with Nova etc. And/or go into Preferences and under the Monitor tab you can add it to the Notification Action Buttons.

Thanks for this detailed description. I've never used Tasker before either, so I'll give it a try. It's a shame such a step is required.
How was it determined that "input keyevent 26" would solve the problem? Will doing this interfere with OTA updates, since it may change a system setting?
Can I use Soft Lock Screen to turn the screen off?

There's a known list of Android commands that software can use to simulate some hardware presses, etc.: http://thecodeartist.blogspot.com/2011/03/simulating-keyevents-on-android-device.html
Tasker or using the keyevent 26 will not interfere with the system in any way. By sending the keyevent 26 you are doing exactly what pressing the Power button does - only with software. It does nothing to change any system settings. Not sure about the Soft Lock Screen app, but I suspect that like other software, if you use that, you will prob need to re-enter your password/pattern/pin and the fingerprint won't work. By sending the keyevent 26, you can still unlock it using the fingerprint sensor.

Thank you for explaining it. Does this require a root? And does it require Nova Launch?

It does require root to be able to let Tasker run a shell command. You would not need Nova launcher as you can easily put a widget to launch the Task within Google Now Launcher or any other launcher. Nova launcher is nice because it enables gestures and double tap to do certain actions. I have Nova to launch my phone app when I tap the Home button on the main home screen. Double tap runs my Task to turn off the phone. Pinch in, pinch out, two finger swipe down/up, etc.
Could you have something trigger Tasker to temporarily change the screen timeout to 1 second (and then change it back after the screen is off)?

I guess I won't be using this technique then, as I don't want to root at this stage.
Is it possible to get Nova to turn the screen off by something like double-tapping on the status bar (without root and Tasker)?

Nova launcher does not have a function to send keyevents or turn off the screen etc.
You can always try some of the Screen Off apps on the playstore and see if anyone of those allow you to unlock the phone again using Imprint. Swipe-Lock, Screen Off and Lock, Screen Lock, etc.
this one works (experimental) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro&hl=en

Quick way turn on/off AOD?

I like AOD and i have it on as default. However, when I'm at work I don't need to have it on since I can see my notifications & calls from the computer (using Join extensions & app). I tried messing around with Tasker but unable to accomplish anything so far. Do you guys know any quick way to turn on/off AOD without having to go into the display settings?
Edit - Found an app that let me toggles AOD
App is called "Tiles". There's a tile in the app called "Always On", switch it on, then run this adb command to allow the app make secure setting changes: adb shell pm grant com/rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Link to app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles
One workaround. Pull town quick tiles, touch menu (gear to right of date), then in search box type "ambient", that will let you choose "Battery > Ambient Display". It takes long steps the first time. Next time just pull down tiles, touch gear, touch search bar, touch "ambient" (that stays in list), touch home button. It seems the 2XL keeps the last five searches.
There may be a better way, but I have not found it yet. Been trying to do it with Tasker and maybe a plugin, but nothing yet.

I have Tiles, granted permission through ADB, and the Ambient Display toggle does nothing.
Edit: It turns on and off the "New notification - wake screen when you receive notifications" setting. Not the Always On setting..
Edit 2: You need to use the Always On tile and not Ambient Display. Works well!

If you could, please provide a link to "Tiles". I tried searching for it in the Play Store and most of the hits are games.
I'm trying to find a solution to my phone screen turning off when it's plugged in and a call comes in. Maybe this is the fix I've been looking for.

Here you go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles
You can also squeeze your phone/activate assistant and say "turn always on display off"
Tasker does work, try the "custom setting" option.

Question Any way to force google assistant instead of Bixby?

As per the title, I've tried everything I could find to replace bixby with Google assistant but nothing seems to work properly.
Has anyone managed to force assistant to be the default, along with OK, Google?
Thanks!
Odd, I would think that it would work the same as on any other Samsung device. Just set it as Default. I also use a Package Manager to disable Bixby anything if I need too, but when I get my Fold 3 next week, I will let you know if someone has not answered by then.
settings > apps > choose default apps > digital assistant app > device assistant app
choose google.
I read some where that in oneui 4.0 you will be able to replace bixby with Google assistance on button.

My side button already activates Google Assistant by default, press and hold. I actually don't want it to. I have the power menu option selected for it in settings yet it does Google Assistant anyway! No bixby anywhere to be found.
Hi i tried it not, but no possible set to google asistant... i have only one option ... bixby

How did you get google assistance on your button? Since right now only bixby is possible. Unless you install 3rd party app that does the work.

I have no idea! Smart switched from Note20 Ultra, and it just works like that. I don't want it. Like I said I set my power button to be a power button. I wish I knew! All I know is that Google assistant is set as default and side key is set to power menu. Maybe try that? I'm still trying to figure out how to disable this because I want my power menu back! If I figure it out I'll update here. (See attached video so you know I'm not just pulling your leg)
Okay I figured it out. Apparently I had a Bixby routine I forgot about! Must have carried over to my new phone but lost its "inactive" state. Not sure when I created this but totally forgot. So through Bixby routines you can override the preset options and make the button do whatever you want. Search for Bixby Routines and just create one like in the screenshot:
