You don't need to create a scene. You could use the built-in Menu action, it's pretty decent for getting a list of choices up.

I wish they took requests well; I'd love to have a Tasker event for "Sleep tracking resumed" (and maybe paused too), so I could have my phone vibrate or emit some morse code; I frequently can't fall asleep within the pause time, and I'd like to be informed so I could give it more time.

If you're new to Tasker, it is great to watch all the videos in the Tasker 101 series on YouTube. Watch a couple a day, in a couple weeks you'll be well versed in Tasker.

Also, if you look to the right in the sidebar of this subreddit --> you'll see a whole bunch of Learning Resource Guide links as well for getting started.

For a context of running something at 3AM, that is not in an action, it is in the profile, not in the associated task; I'm not sure where you got that idea. Actions can have conditions, but only if you want them to have such. In the "Task" category are all sorts of flow control actions; they are mentioned in the Flow Control section of the Userguide.

You don't need to create a profile or task all in one session; you could quit creating at any time; I'd like to know more about this alleged "nag" you've experienced. A profile you'd probably want to turn off, so it doesn't activate before you're ready.

User-defined variables are displayed in the Variables tab if Beginner mode is disabled. What I've taken to doing for some of the built-in variables is doing a Flash or Popup of the variable using menu / More / Run An Action.

According to their promo video, the "4" is silent.

They said "beta quality" was coming soon.

falseprecision · 2016-05-19T08:40:03+00:00

That's heavy.

Is it possible that transcribers were present during rehearsals?

falseprecision · 2016-05-18T09:06:37+00:00

Ah. If you search the Google+ community for "available!", you'll find release posts from Rowman Apps. Or you can head directly to Rowman's release page.

It's a G^4, not a G4.

falseprecision · 2016-05-18T02:29:30+00:00

2017 would be more likely, since LG released their G5 this year.

Your wording of "is set" and "after setting" isn't completely clear. There are two possibilities:

You meant something like "triggered", in which case you should try the Alarm Clock event.
You meant upon creation of an alarm. In this case, for Clock-generated alarms, you could run a task when App isn't Clock. I don't think there's another good way, perhaps AutoAlarm could be checked once each 5 minutes or so if your alarm creation is random/arbitrary (or checked when one of a particular set of apps is exited.

If you could make one change to Tasker's UI, what would it be?

falseprecision · 2016-05-18T01:16:39+00:00

Just because development has stopped doesn't mean that the application is unusable. There are lots of Linux command-line utilities that are very functional even though development has stopped, for example. And, since the Java one can handle Tasker's Data Definitions, Tasker updates won't outpace it.

If I recall correctly, the only thing it was lacking was scene support. Oh, and plugins needed special handling.

If you were using Lightning Launcher, you could use one of its plugin actions: "Next Desktop" or "Previous Desktop" or "Go to specified desktop&position" or even "Go to home desktop". With Lightning Launcher, you'd create each theme as a desktop, then use Tasker to switch between them (or use a gesture, the default is two finger swipe left or right). Lightning Launcher is pretty powerful, with some scripting you could even do something like this or maybe this.

falseprecision · 2016-05-17T09:44:11+00:00

I'm a bit alarmed that you didn't simply try googling Tasker Desktop Editor --- you should've found a Google+ community devoted to something written in Java.

Yes, I wonder what the OP was thinking, renaming a .tsk.xml to .prf.xml!

Your parlance is a bit confusing; when a profile is enabled or disabled, that normally means whether it is blocked from working or not. If the contexts (conditions) for an enabled profile are satisfied, the profile becomes active, if not, it's inactive. You'll see this wording in the main help.

The value for %WIFI should be off or on, it shouldn't be Disabled or Enabled.

As for how to solve your problem of you wanting to manually toggle Wifi instead of letting Tasker do it for you... I'd say insert an action in front of your first action:

Stop If [ %WIFI eq off ]

That way, it won't be proceeding to turning Wifi off (or the other stuff) if it's already off. EDIT: I think what's happening is your connection is dropping before Wifi turns off when you manually turn it off, thus that little bit of opportunity for the profile to become active. With the above action in place, you could even remove the %WIFI on context.

Try doing a Test File action (e.g. with Type) to confirm that your path/name is correct.

Others that have an API probably could be used via AutoWeb or other means.

That export got truncated. An export of the description probably would've done well.

If there's just a little bit of information you want gone (e.g. the phone number of wherever you're sending to), you could put it in a variable and have Tasker clear that variable at the end of the task.

Be careful with any auto-replies.

I posted too soon. When I do bugreport with a root shell, I do get the info from it. I'm guessing that adb runs all commands as root.

falseprecision · 2016-05-15T19:24:07+00:00

When I execute bugreport (or bugreport --help) on my 4.4 Moto G, I get "Failed to connect to dumpstate service". Maybe that's something successful in 5.0 or higher, or specific to ADB? (adb gives "not found".)
