Sneak Peek - New Tasker
Added 2020-01-15 19:28:15 +0000 UTCToday I'm bringing you something that could be big. You know how some stuff is only available with a rooted device? This release tries to work around that with the new ADB Wifi action!
To use it, you need to connect your phone to your PC and run the adb tcpip 5555 command. After that you can use the ADB Wifi action to run any command that you can run on a PC!
For example, you could
- Give or revoke app permissions
- Kill apps
- Toggle Mobile Data
and much more!
There's a big caveat though: every time you reboot your device you need to run the adb tcpip 5555 command again, so keep that in mind.
To try out this release get the APK here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UfMEt1H6wjlMDdsqByn-flCRqE45PdJ1/view?usp=sharing
Let me know how it works for you! :)

Nice! :)

2020-01-17 14:50:57 +0000 UTCYes, it works like a charm!

2020-01-17 12:05:09 +0000 UTCalso, maybe my profile is not really of general interest ;). I'll do some more testing and contact you separately if i find anything. Or you can write to me as well if you find something. Thank you!

2020-01-16 18:02:46 +0000 UTCoh, I didn't know it can do that. That's cool, too. I tried that now, and apparently it's device dependent because it found 'greyscale_mode': from '1' to '0' on my samsung s10. Unfortunately it doesn't change the greyscale. I also have daltonizer in my secure settings, but that doesn't do anything either

2020-01-16 18:00:59 +0000 UTCYou can actually do a comparison like that with the Custom Setting action too! :) Use the magnifying glass to do so. I actually just tried it and for my device it turns out it was the Secure accessibility_display_daltonizer_enabled setting.
João Dias
2020-01-16 17:46:30 +0000 UTCYet this is the setting, because i compared the 2 in an android settings export (you can do that with adb). I compared the greyscale settings on with greyscale setting off in a notepad++, and that setting was the only difference - 0 and 1
petrus munteanu
2020-01-16 15:51:02 +0000 UTCHhmm, I don't think so, it works just the same as doing it via root... I think that simply changes the grayscale mode though, it doesn't actually toggle the grayscale on and off...
João Dias
2020-01-16 15:43:09 +0000 UTCi think i've played with that long ago, but couldn't make it work. I've tried it now with Type: System, Name: greyscale_mode, Value:0. No errors, just doesn't greyscale :). Maybe it needs root afterall?
petrus munteanu
2020-01-16 14:32:36 +0000 UTCYeah, the Custom Setting action will do the equivalent to that, just not in a shell ;)
João Dias
2020-01-16 14:14:39 +0000 UTCi've found the shell comand "setttings put system greyscale_mode 0", but i'll look into the custom settings action, as well. Thank you!
petrus munteanu
2020-01-16 13:39:12 +0000 UTCBy the way, the greyscale one is doable with the Custom Settings action I think.
João Dias
2020-01-16 12:53:30 +0000 UTCCool! :) Hope those work with this! And yes, you can run adb shell commands with the adb wifi action!
João Dias
2020-01-16 12:53:10 +0000 UTCi'd also like to kill the media player - right now i pause it with autoinput, but i noticed the app continues to use some battery. Also, i'd like to activate android's text to speech feature, in order to listen to books while on the road
petrus munteanu
2020-01-16 12:19:18 +0000 UTCfor instance i keep my phone in greyscale, but for certain apps i'd like to switch to colour mode (youtube and such). Right now i do it manually, but i've found a shell command which may work. Can you run shell with adb wifi?
petrus munteanu
2020-01-16 11:15:51 +0000 UTCCool! :D What are some examples of those?
João Dias
2020-01-16 09:16:50 +0000 UTCvery cool and practical, I have like 10 profiles on standby that needed root :)
petrus munteanu
2020-01-16 08:28:29 +0000 UTCOhhh unfortunately I just tried it and it can't be done :( I just assumed it could, but it can't, sorry! Will correct the OP.
João Dias
2020-01-16 08:25:40 +0000 UTCToday I'm going to test this feature. I will let you know.
Dennis van der Kwast
2020-01-16 07:45:23 +0000 UTCYes, sir! Already made a task to list all packages... More to come. 😁
Jay
2020-01-15 22:47:57 +0000 UTCNope! They work when you disconnect too!
João Dias
2020-01-15 22:38:31 +0000 UTCGreat work João. Do such actions only work when there is a live ADB connection between phone and PC though?
Sharif Salah
2020-01-15 22:25:08 +0000 UTCWhat would the command be?
Tom Hare
2020-01-15 22:23:11 +0000 UTCThanks! 😁 Does it work for you?
João Dias
2020-01-15 21:27:27 +0000 UTCI can't like your reply... Silly patreon app
Mat
2020-01-15 21:27:08 +0000 UTCSo does it work for you? ,😁
João Dias
2020-01-15 21:27:04 +0000 UTCYep, that should work too!
João Dias
2020-01-15 21:26:36 +0000 UTCI wouldn't think so because you need to specially enable this via ADB so people really know what they are doing when using it... It doesn't happen by mistake. But then again who knows what Google's up to 😛
João Dias
2020-01-15 21:26:18 +0000 UTCYay! Been wondering if something like this might work! So happy now.
Jay
2020-01-15 20:16:11 +0000 UTCWow, awesome!
Dennis van der Kwast
2020-01-15 20:07:52 +0000 UTCAir plane mode?
Tom Hare
2020-01-15 20:04:09 +0000 UTCI can see Google question this in future 🤦🏻♂️
Mat
2020-01-15 19:50:53 +0000 UTCThanks :D It does sound like it opens up a lot of possibilities!
João Dias
2020-01-15 19:50:24 +0000 UTCYep, correct! :)
João Dias
2020-01-15 19:50:09 +0000 UTCThis could be a game changer for sure, thank you for the new year's present.
Ezki
2020-01-15 19:47:21 +0000 UTCThat's interesting so basically you emulate the remote connection to android phone?
