#project #HeadsetButtonHelper
DESCRIPTION
This project will help you to keep your device in your pocket while on the street, gym, or wherever you are, by using the button of your headset (or BT headset) to perform whatever action you would like.

These are the available versions:
Demo Version: If what you want is to import a clean version of the project to fully custimize it from 0, use this one. It doesn't include any specific action (opposite of mine), but just a set of 3 groups of actions as a generic implementation.
Personal Version: If you would like to import a fully functional project, use this one. It includes all those actions that I currently use on my device, like: get current date and time, call a contact, check battery level, start/stop playing music, and maybe more, depending on my needs and tastes.

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:
- Thanks to @plepleus and @Ratchet_Guy (Reddit) for the calendar base task (reference), @abhishekabhi789 and @gerardo246 for helping on building the project.
- To use this project you will need the AutoInput plugin, a TTS Engine (+ voice package) of your choise (IVONA TTS, if interested), and grant the 'android.permission.SET_MEDIA_KEY_LISTENER' permission to Tasker, if requested (guide). (These requirements are the basic ones for both projects versions)
- If the 'Personal Version' contains any error, I won't update the project just due to that. I will only release a new public version (including my current 'Personal Version') if the bug(s) affects the 'Demo Version' in terms of base functionatily. Sorry.
- It is highly recommended to disable media button listeners for music apps, or any other app you could have for this kind. Otherwise, the project may interfere with those apps, if not configured on it.
- To abort the current action, press the button (single tap) while the TTS engine is speaking. It will cause the entire task to be stopped and return to the previous state: 'Waiting for button pressed events...'.

#profile #PerAppDPIChanger
DESCRIPTION
Change the screen content density (DPI) dynamically, based on the app used.

These are the available versions:
Version (A): Uses a non-root solution (system private interface for WindowManager class: IWindowManager), but requires the 'WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission to be granted to Tasker.
Version (B): This (wm density) needs root (you can try ADB WiFi), at least, but doesn't need the 'WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission.

Configuring very low or very high values can cause some apps to fail to start, simply by not being prepared for such densities. Even the system itself (SystemUI app) can be compromised.

For those who want to experiment with low densities (high values), setting them permanently will reduce the work for the CPU/GPU, resulting in increased overall performance and improved battery life.

Notes:
- Thanks to @JustRollWithIt (Reddit) for the base JF task. (reference)
- Go here to know how to grant the 'android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission to Tasker.
- Two types of the same profile for each of the versions are available: App (to be used with all apps, except Tasker), Tasker (to be used only with Tasker). If you want each app to set a different DPI, just create a single profile for every app. Otherwise, include all apps within the main profile.
- Both 'App' and 'Tasker' profiles are bundled in a single prj file for easy importing, so import it as it is.
- Use 'Yellow' labeled actions to customize how the profiles work.
- To get the current DPI value use the 'Get Current DPI' task.
- If what you want is to change the screen resolution, go here.

DESCRIPTION
Change the screen resolution (width, height) dynamically, based on the app used.

These are the available versions:
Version (A): Uses a non-root solution (system private interface for WindowManager class: IWindowManager), but requires the 'WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission to be granted to Tasker.
Version (B): This (wm size) can also work with or without the 'WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission (only), also with or without root access (only).

When configuring higher resolutions than hardware, the following will most likely happen: using the device with a physical mouse (OTG) will be required, and overall performance will plummet.

For those who want to experiment with low resolutions, setting them permanently will reduce the work for the CPU/GPU, resulting in increased overall performance and improved battery life.

Notes:

If you want each app to set a different resolution, just create a single profile for every app. Otherwise, include all apps within the main profile.
- Both 'App' and 'Tasker' profiles are bundled in a single prj file for easy importing, so import it as it is.
- An easy formula to calculate the new resolution, based on the original one: 'original + ((original * percentage) / 100)', to increase it, and 'original - ((original * percentage) / 100)', to decrease it. Apply it for both width and height.
- An easy formula to calculate the DPI that will appear about the same as it was in a previous resolution, setting a new resolution: '(current dpi * new width) / current width', and to bring the old density back with the previous resolution '(current dpi * current width) / new width'.
- Use 'Yellow' labeled actions to customize how the profiles work.
- To get the current resolution value use the 'Get Current Resolution' task.
