#task #CheckDeviceScreenOrientation
DESCRIPTION
Little task that will allow you to check the current screen orientation value on demand.

Orientations:
· 0° (portrait)
· 90° (landscape right)
· 180° (upside down)
· 270° (landscape left)

Notes:
- The 180° rotation position may be locked by your ROM if not custom when using auto-rotation feature. So, try using Tasker to force that rotation angle or install a compatible custom ROM.

[DEV] Tasker 5.9.2.beta.3 - ADB Wifi improvements and more
Another beta is out! This time I'm making the ADB Wifi action more secure!

Sign up for the beta here.

If you don't want to wait for the Google Play update, get it right away here.

You can also get the updated app factory here.

Enable Debug Just When Needed For ADB Wifi

Most people don't need debugging to be enabled at all times on their Android devices. It might be a security risk if you accidentally accept an unknown request to start debugging which could put your phone at risk.

Thanks to an idea from /u/parosen I have now added an option to Enable Debugging in the ADB Wifi action itself.

The idea is you leave debugging off and the action will enable it when ran and disable it afterwards, leaving your phone "closed down" for the majority of time!

Easy Service Calling With ADB Wifi

You know the helper that was introduced in the last beta that allows you to easily call services? Unfortunately the commands it generated were device/Android version dependent so not very shareable. Now it's much easier and readable to use this!

For example, to turn on Airplane mode you can now simply set the command to

connectivity.setAirplaneMode(true)

and it'll do it :)

As long as the device it's running on has that service and action it'll work whereas before the command could very easily change from one device to the other!

Full Changelog
- Added "Enable Debugging" option to "ADB Wifi" action. Allows you to keep debugging off for security reasons and only enable it when needed to run the action
- Added easy way to call services to "ADB Wifi" action. You can simply call a service by using "service.action(parameters)" as the command
- Made "ADB Wifi" action much faster in most situations
- Added way to check if "ADB Wifi" is accessible in "Tasker Function" action
- Made ADB Wifi action not leave idle threads in the background when user didn't accept Tasker's request to debug on first run
- When using the ADB Wifi helper, it'll use the port number and host if already configured in the action
- Added "Default ADB Wifi Port" setting in Tasker Settings > Misc which will be used in actions that may use ADB Wifi (Airplane Mode, Mobile Data, etc)
- Added root-only Command helper to the "Run Shell" action (same as the ADB Wifi helper)
- If "Run Shell" action runs a "service call" command, output will now be properly parsed
- Added "Use Grep" option to "Logcat Entry" event and removed "grep=:=" prefix from previous release
- Made "Data Backup" action work with external SD card paths

Let me know what you think!

#project #CampingFlashlight
DESCRIPTION
If you usually go camping a lot and use your cell phone to light the road at night, this project will be very useful. But it could be used for other purposes as well :)

Notes:
- If you are on Android 9 (or above) it may happen that your brightness control mechanism has changed, so you will need to adjust it within the 'Setup' task. Use the separate 'Get Max Brightness Value' task to get it for your device.
- You can go here to learn more about how Android Pie now manages the screen brightness function.

#project #BuildpropEditor
DESCRIPTION
This project will allow you to edit the build.prop file, adding, modify and deleting lines from it.

Main features:
• Colored lines to make easier the task of identifying properties and values
• Colored comments
• Add, modify or delete any line
• Auto-backup of build.prop file

This project includes an Initial Setup task that needs to be executed when it is imported from TaskerNet, or when the dev considers it is needed even not imported from TaskerNet.

Notes:
- It will only work on rooted devices, as it needs to read/write from/to '/system' partition.
- If something goes wrong during editing, the device will just stuck at boot, that's a Softbrick. That's why is highly recommended to have a custom recovery like TWRP (or other) to restore the original file.
- build.prop backups are performed on each modification, and it's stored under '/sdcard/Tasker/Resources/Build.prop Editor' directory.
