Tasker help needed

Hi, I would need help with two tasker profiles (and a little hint for the 3rd one ;P)
1st - Connect and route all traffic through a SSH-Tunnel when I am connected to a WiFi which is not my home-WiFi:
I tried this with SSH-Tunnel but "killing" the app gives random pop-ups + problem report + restart of the app (even when killing with root). Any ideas?
2nd - Screenshot when wrong lock pattern was entered:
I found several guides for how to do it with a "pin lock" but it seems as "lock pattern" won't work with tasker?
3rd - Can I somehow let tasker read/speak the following things:
At which time is the next alarm and in how many hours/minutes is that (alarmdroid)?
Do I have any missed calls/mails/messages (whatsapp/sms/facebook/...) ?
Do I have any calendar entries today and which one is the first one ?
I plan on using those the following way:
Put phone into docking station near my bed - Let me know if alarm is set and when it is.. also tell me if there are any meetings on the next day.
When alarmdroid starts waking me up, tell me if I have any missed calls/messages/etc and how many calendar entries I have today.
Thanks

Idk about any of the other stuff but about question 2...There is an app called secure settings..this app pretty much adds functionality to tasker and if you are rooted it adds even more. But basically you can use pattern lock through tasker after downloading that app..I am currently using it to have my lock pattern turn off when im connected to my home wifi and then turns back on when im not connected to home wifi...
I had similar issues as you where it would only work with pin lock but now with secure settings, its work with pattern lock. Hope this helps.

In regards to question number 2, I'd skip setting this up via tasker and just get the app Cerberus, its a pay app but its amazing when it comes to the things it can regarding security of your phone, in case its lost/stolen. It does have the feature your trying to set up, works with pin and pattern locks. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5sc2Ryb2lkLmNlcmJlcnVzIl0.

no I don't like cerberus sry. Also I got Avast for that

I'd vouch for Cerberus. Has really good security features. btw how would taking a screenshot on entering wrong pattern help. Did you mean to take the photo of the intruder entering the wrong pattern?

Yes, a pic is taken of the intruder and sent to me via e-mail.
The whole thing works.. except that it doesn't work when the phone is locked :S

Not sure why you dont like cerberus, it does exactly what you want lol..was just a suggestion.

and i appreciate the help I just dont like the app.

Tasker >add Task(+) > Plugin > Secure Setttings > Configuration > Pattern Lock
Set the context as you like..

Ye tried that one already -> doesnt seem to work :/

Regarding your #2 request, if what you are looking for is for the phone to take a picture of the user after a failed unlock attempt this is what I did in Tasker to accomplish this and more.
This will take a photo of the "intruder" after two failed attempts. With my Dropbox sync this photo is instantly uploaded to Dropbox for archival. Then the phone sends two SMS messages to my GV number, the first with the rough location based on the network and then another if GPS is able to locate them.
First you have to install the "Secure Settings" plugin from the Market. Also for photo archival I use Dropbox configured to backup my photos.
New Profile named "Unlock Fail"
Event>State>Plugin>Secure Settings
-Edit Configuration>Failed Login Attempts> 2 (your choice)
-Save
Task> New Task named "Security Photo"
-Media>Take Photo
>Front Camera
>Filename : Lock Photo
>Naming Sequence : Series
>Insert in Gallery : checked
>Descrete : checked

-Misc.>GPS Set On
-Misc.>Get Location

-Misc.>Get Location
>Source GPS
-Phone>Send SMS
>Number (Same as above)
>Message "Here is their exact location: %LOC"
Then on top of this I also created another profile that would fire off this same task if an SMS is received with the text "find me". This profile also sounds an alarm so I can locate the phone.

I would prefer Mail over SMS but the problem won't even go until the sending part as it won't even take the picture when the phone is locked with a pattern lock? Atleast for me here.

I do not seem to have that problem. I just tried it and it worked perfectly.
Now I have my phone configured for face unlock with pattern as a backup and my phone is rooted.
-Phone was locked with the screen off.
-Hit the power button and blocked the camera so face unlock would fail.
-Entered the wrong pattern twice. Once the second attempt failed I saw GPS activate and I heard the GV notification for the received SMS.
-I never unlocked the phone and checking GV and Dropbox from a different device and the messages were sent with my location and the picture was uploaded to Dropbox.
Not sure what else to say. I think I was asked to give Tasker administrative rights along with being rooted so maybe that is the difference.

i am rooted as well.. and tasker is in my SuperSU list :S
Rly weird

I will pay you for Tasker Profiles
I bought tasker because I see the incredible potential for the different profiles.
That being said I am dumb and find creating the profiles that I want a little bit overwhelming.
Is you are a tasker EXPERT on this site that would like to make some profiles for me that I could download & I will pay you for them.
An example profile would be:
IF I disconnect from Wifi Network by going out of range I want to automatically turn on bluetooth for for 10 minutes.
(Usually when I walk out of wifi range I am walking to my car which bluetooths music/calls off my phone)
IF within that 10 minutes I connect to a bluetooth device I would like to keep the bluetooth on until the pairing is broken. IF NOT bluetooth will be turned off after the 10 minutes
When the bluetooth pairing is broken I would like the phone to turn on Wifi for 10 minutes as I am usually walking to my office/house or place with wifi
IF within that 10 minutes a wifi network is connected then wifi will remain on IF NOT then wifi will be turned off
This is just one of probably 10 or so possible profiles I would like to create that are custom to my circumstances
I have a galaxy S4 Active from AT&T that is rooted
If you are interested in creating profiles for me please message me with your expertise & what a profile would cost
For most of you creating these things are childs play however for me it is not
This is my first time posting so if this is the wrong place to put this please direct me to a different area.

NfcTagRelay - Automate your life by scanning tags with your Sony SW3

NFC Tags are awesome for automating stuff. Want easy to activate sleep tracking? Just set up a tag near your bed. Want easy to activate car mode? Set up a tag somewhere in your car. But they have one big flaw: to use them, you must take your big ass phone out of your pocket.
(In above example, I activate sleep tracking, disable always-on mode and enable theater mode by just touching the tag. Always-on mode is then automagically re-enabled in the morning when sleep tracking stops.)
NfcTagRelay is simple and light tool that reads tags using your smartwatch and then relays the tag detection event to the phone, so it can be acted upon using various automation apps such as Tasker.
How it works
Every NFC tag has unique ID that can be used to identify it. That ID is broadcasted via Intent to all apps on the phone whenever tag is scanned. It is broadcasted via two different intents:
Intent 1
Action: com.matejdro.weartagrelay.RECEIVED_TAG
Extras:
tagid = <ID of the tag>
Intent 2
Action: com.matejdro.weartagrelay.TAG_<ID of the tag>
(This second one is more useful for apps that cannot filter Intents by extras such as Tasker).
Tasker example
Here is my example on how I'm receiving tags via Tasker. As mentioned above, app sends events via Intents. That is why we will be using System -> Intent Received Tasker event.
1. ID Receiving Context
First we have to figure out what is the ID of the tag that we are scanning. For that we can use com.matejdro.weartagrelay.RECEIVED_TAG which also broadcasts tag ID.
Create new context with System -> Send Intent event
Under intent action enter com.matejdro.weartagrelay.RECEIVED_TAG (See attached picture 1.)
In task that is triggered by this, copy contents of the %tagid variable to the clipboard. For convenience, you can also copy it along the rest of the second intent (see attached picture 2).
After you get the tag ID, you can delete that context or just disable it to add more tags later. It is triggered when you scan any tag so you likely won't need it.
2. TAG Context
Now that we have the ID, we can create context that will be activated whenever tag with that ID is scanned. For that we will use com.matejdro.weartagrelay.TAG_<ID> intent.
Create new context with System -> Send Intent event
Under intent action enter com.matejdro.weartagrelay.TAG_<ID>, where you replace "<ID>" with the actual ID of the tag (See attached picture 3.)
In task that is triggered by this, add whatever you want. This task will be triggered every time you scan tag with specified ID.
Installation
Install Sony SmartWatch 3 NFC Support Package. Without that, NFC will not work at all on your watch.
Install included APK to your phone
After some time (usually up to a minute), app will be automatically installed to the watch (you will get notification). After that you may also need to grant the app NFC permissions (it will ask on the watch). Make sure you do, otherwise it won't work.
Huge thanks to user ebones. Without him, this would not be possible.

Hi, all installed and appears to be working. Although I didn't get any notifications to grant NFC permissions etc. Can you also please confirm the name of the app once installed on the watch?
Thanks

I think it only asks for permission if you are running Marshmallow on the phone.

Has anyone managed to get an NFC tag (or reader for that matter) to relay to another app? I know this app does work with tasked, but it would be great if there were a way to relay to a chosen app. E.g. HID Mobile Access.
And does this app allow two way communication?

no app?
i dont get a notification about the app being installed on my smartwatch. what should i do?

Does it appear under all apps?

no it doesnt
EDIT: after a factory reset and completely starting over it still doesnt show
EDIT 2: this does show up tho

Then you don't need to confirm permissions. It should work by itself.

Please help me!
I've installed NCF support package and app. Can I scan NFC Pass-card to this watch and use only watch to pass against card?

No, this is only for detecting NFC tags and perform various actions when detected.

Hi,
please, tell me your full setup (device, ROM, etc.).
After days of trying to get it to work I'm really frustrated and have no idea what to do.
My device is a Samsung Note 3 and I tried it with Kitkat 4.4 (Sweet ROM), Lollipop 5.1 (Dark Wolf), Android 7 (Resurrection) and several versions of the wear app. But nothing workes.
Smartwatch 3 Setup: TWRP, LCA43 (Android 5.1.1, built-in Wear App Version 1.3.x), NFC Support Package, Wear-SuperSU
Smartwatch 3 Working: for each new pairing with the different Smartphone OS's the watch had to be resetted and after that I installed "Wear Mini Launcher" and "NfcTagRelay" (as well as I did the steps mentioned in several descriptions e.g. enable dev & usb debugging), the NfcTagRelay installed successfully and gave the option to enable/disable NFC
Note 3: within each new OS I installed the appropiate gapps and apk's ("Wear App" v1.3.x, "Wear Mini Launcher" and "NfcTagRelay"), installation with other versions of the wear app on the phone didn't work, as expected
Note 3 Setup with Kitkat 4.4.2: Wear App works fine, connection is always enabled, Mini Launcher works great too. But that didn't work for the nfc purpose. The watch seems not to scan any tag (no vibration notification at the watch, no reaction on the phone)
Note 3 Setup with Lollipop 5.1 (Dark Wolf): Wear App does not find the watch (as far as I remember, have to test this another time, coming soon...)
Note 3 Setup with Android 7.1.1 (Ressurection Remix): after succesful pairing with the Wear App it seems to loose an active connection and on several actions in the app a message pops up that their is no connection, Smartwatch reacts on nfc scan with vibration, no reaction on the phone

Voice feedback from Google NOW?

hello, has anyone been able to speak to your watch and have it speak back to
to you? Say you ask it a question or weather it READS YOU the weather or answer to a question rather then you having to unfocused on driving just to read what's on your damn watch. Seriously I thought with the huawei watch speaker update (1.4) it'll function as so, it does not. Anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Same issue, it's got a speaker so when I ask Google Now a question, like what is the population of Toronto, it doesn't answer me like my phone would. Sound is on and volumes are set.

I would also love to be able to have the voice feedback through the watch speakers.

Strangely enough, there's a "voice feedback" option under accessibility options on the watch which reads your question back to you, but not the answer

YES I GOT IT TO WORK! .... but you won't like the solution, but here is what to do if you like frustration....
(1) root watch
(2) install Wearshell on phone+ watch and read how to use it to send intents via tasker (Wearshell is the best wear app there is) and make sure to install the 30 scripts the dev made for it by downloading and installing Wearshell Commands Collection 1, 2, and 3 ... there are a couple good threads on how to send intents to wearshell through tasker
(3) install Tasker on phone
(4) install Autovoice tasker plugin on phone and read how to use it (it requires Xposed framework and some other things...find the xda thread regarding Autovoice and Android Wear)
(5) sideload Google Talkback 3.5.2 from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-release/talkback-3-5-2-android-apk-download/
(6) fiddle with the new Talkback settings on the watch you will see in Accessibility Settings to get the screen reader function working just right ... just fiddle with it, and uninstall/reinstall it with the app Advanced Settings if you get into trouble
(7) practice with it (...you'll see what I mean) ...
(8) create a Tasker profile that sets your watch's media volume to 15 whenever Autovoice intercepts ANYTHING spoken through Google Now, then have that task wait 20 or 30 seconds then set watch's media volume to Zero (unless you want your watch to speak the time aloud everytime the screen turns on
(9) use the app Advanced Settings to change your system language to English UK (sounds way better)
(10) get angry after a few days of this solution not being perfect and start asking Google why they don't have this built in ... c'mon, seriously?
---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------
on a side note, if anyone knows the intent tasker could to send to Google's new Allo app to send a message to the personal assistant, the answer comes back as a notification that the tasker plugin Autonotification could get the text from and send to the watch as TTS using a TTS wearshell script the dev wrote ... yeah this is an equally ridiculous solution

Need help with notifications please

Hi all,
I have just got my 46mm galaxy watch but i am having trouble with the notification management on the watch.
It's most probably me not using it right as i am used to wear OS but I'm hoping you can help me out.
When i get an email for instance i open it on my galaxy watch... Press the 3 dots on the right hand side and press the bin icon... This clears the notification from my watch but if i open my phone and go into the email app the email is still sat there.
What i am wanting is to completely delete the email from the account when i delete it on my watch not just clear the notification.
Can anyone help me out please?
Thanks in advance.

This is the problem i mentioned in this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ons--answers/email-app-missing-watch-t3865938
Only if you have Samsung Smartphone you can interactively work with mails. Note that you do not have mail app in the watch ( as I do not have )
You are just working with notifications form your mail app on the phone. You are only clearing notification- not the message.
Mayby someone make a full blown email app in the Galaxy Store - that is the only hope
Got it ?
P.S. I cannot understand stupidity of Samsung software team to make it this way

Hi, thanks for the reply. I am using a Samsung Galaxy note 9. I have the the Samsung email app on the watch and i use that email app on the phone.
On wear OS if i press delete it actually deletes the email from the account but this isn't the case on the Samsung watch it will just remove the notification on the watch / phone but leave the email sat in the account which is a bit poor in my opinion compared to wear OS.
Hopefully someone knows a way to delete the email straight from the notification same as you would on the phone from the pull down notification tray without having to physically go into the email app to do it.

From what I am reading, the access you have on your Galaxy Watch to your non-Samsung device is purely notifications. If it was a Samsung device (This is what I am hearing), you could get a native watch app that allows this but in your current set up, you can only clear the notification, not the email.

Hi. I am using a Samsung galaxy note 9 with the Samsung galaxy watch. I can go into the email app on the watch to delete the email but I want to be able to delete straight from the notification not just clear the notification and still have the email sat in the email account.
Thanks

And so the plot thickens...
I have tried to adapt to the way tizen seems to deal with email notifications and i am now opening the notification and pressing the "open in app" option and then long pressing the email and deleting from there on the watch. A bit of a long way around compared to wear os but OK it will have to do i suppose....
Now i am finding that if i do the method above the email deletes from the account, but the notification will still sit on my phone until i remove it on the phone despite already actually being deleted from the account :crying::crying:.
Who at Samsung thought this was all OK and was a good way of managing email notifications. It is completely broken

Solution found
I found following solution to satisfy author of the topic ( and me either ):
Note: I do not have Mail app on the watch as I do not have Samsung phone - all happens through notifications from Email app on the phone
1. Find and install TypeApp mail client from Play Store
2. Configure client above as you like - it is feature rich and bit messy but once done you will be satisfied
3. Important: in TypeApp: Setting-Notifications- Advanced Notifications ( top of screen ) ENABLE: Extended notifications for Wear & Nougat
4. Enable notification push to watch in Galaxy Wearable phone app
And now: when you receive notification on the Watch, click 3 dots on the right. You will note 2 wastebaskets icons. Touching upper icon deletes email and notification, touching lower icon clears notification from the Watch only
Happy Tuesday
P.S. I do not know how it works with other Emaill apps. Your comments are welcome.

Generic fitness band and Glory Fit app questions...

I have a generic UPX model waterproof fitness band, that probably goes by many brand names, and uses a fitness app called Glory Fit to sync, and show SMS messages, on the device... however, I have a question for those who may use those fitness trackers, or know a bit about hacking the Bluetooth. I would like it to show more information, such as music media information, except that the app 3rd party notifications feature only shows the app name not media information... so for instance, if i add Google play music or Samsung Music to the to the band's notification list, when a notification for it pops up and I click on it I get this... "Google play music:" or "Samsung music:" what I want to figure out is if anyone knows a way to take a non-rooted device and get the information to display properly, or at the very least, share the information as a text message with WhatsApp or the android SMS txting app, which are approved/included SMS provider in the app... any ideas would be welcome... and for your information, I didn't buy it, but got it from a relative, after it started chafing his wrist, so, while I wouldn't buy one that cheap, usually, I'm curious as to if and how we can hack it with extra phone apps to do more stuff... (such as displaying media information on the start of a new song or album)
**please note**
I do not have a background in coding, and am mainly a script kiddie, in everything except MS-DOS and Windows command line, as well as a few minor windows based ADB commands, so i cant build an app...
So...
#1 is what I am asking here possible, specifically on a non-rooted device???
#2 is an app for this available, and what would the probability of such an app working be???
#3 if #2is no, but it is possible, could someone make a small app to do the job???
The target android is anything 5.0 and up, my current Galaxy S6 being android 6.0, and the band does use BLE, and charges using a usb 2pin jaw clamp device, if that helps...
Also, the reason to have it be non-rooted compatible, is that my device is on straight talk and cannot be rooted...
If you need more information just ask, although I'm not on here or my email everyday and have email notifications off so may not respond right away...
I hope someone thinks this is worth looking into, because I can't find information anywhere, except for the mifit, or whatever it's called...
**edit** before you ask, I sent an email to the Glory Fit developer, and left a Google play rating, before jumping straight here... if i get a response from either, I will post a reply, or edit the OP...
**update**
Ok... just did some checking online, and either im typing the wrong thing in when I search for 'media information to sms converter', or there isn't anything out there that will take the author, album, and song name, into sms format and locally inject it to the local sms app, either offline or online... i prefer offline myself, as then it's not dependent upon having service...
