#project #ProximitySensorWorkaroundRedmiNote7
DESCRIPTION
If you're the owner of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, you may (or may not) have noticed that the proximity sensor stops responding randomly. So, the only solution was to disable it for calls temporarily, and after rebooting the device, turn on it again.

Other ways to make it work again, was:
· Enabling auto-brightness, or (*) pocket detection.

Well, I have applied the same trick as described above, but fully automated. (*)

This project includes an Initial Setup task that needs to be executed when it is imported from TaskerNet
(It can be deleted after imported)

Notes:
- As the project writes to the Global settings table, you will need root to allow it to work. Or at least try using the Tasker Settings helper app if you are not rooted. (Using Tasker app)
- Do not forget to grant the 'WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission to Tasker, or enable Write System Settings to the package name of the generated app that I provide to you if you decide to use it by this way (root needed anyway).
- I will keep supporting it, if necessary (bugs) until Xiaomi decides to fix it on their official ROMs. (also present in other official based ROMs too)
- The icon from the generated app was taken from icons8 (free licence), and edited.

#warning
Here I bring you VMOS, an application with the possibility of being able to emulate a complete Android system within your same Android host system. Like running virtual machines on a PC platform using VirtualBox, as an example.

Thanks to @Aarifmonu for letting it us know on the TPC Telegram chat group 👍

If you have a powerful enough phone (mid-high range), and Android 5.1.1 as a minimum OS for your host, you can try it out.

The possibilities of using this virtualized system are endless. Some of them would be...
· Have two (or more) accounts from the same app, running simultaneously. Like running 2 WhatsApp instances at the same time.
· If you don't want to root your physical device, you can have an Android with root access with just a few clicks. (your host system will not be affected)
· If you are one of those who like trying a lot of apps, you can use it as a Sanbox, allowing you to install apps without fear of damaging your device.
· You can take advantage of multitasking, having an app running on VMOS and another on your host.
· It allows you two completely separate instances to keep confidential files, or simply not to mix data.
· And much more...

But, as this is a community related with the automation in Android: Tasker, the main porpuse of this article was to make known to all those project devs (also users who do not develop, but try projects from them too), that you can test your projects in another Tasker client. And without the need for a PC (ADB), or clone Tasker.

Here you have a short video preview of what I was talking about, where you can see me testing one of my latest projects: Tasker Projects Tracker.
- Android (host): Dev version
- Android (vm): Client version

#project #CustomStockNavbar
DESCRIPTION
This project emulates the Android stock navbar, showing the three main Android buttons: Back, Home and Recents. More can be added of course ;)

Notes:
- This project is mainly focused for those devices that doesn't have physical navigation buttons. Instead virtual ones.
- If you want to disable permanently the stock Android's navbar, not just hide it, add the 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' property to the build.prop file, located on /system partition. Or you can use the Build.prop Editor project to do so instead ;)

CHANGELOG
- Other: Translated into English.

- Other: Minor changes.

VERSION
v1.1

#project #CurrentAppActivity
DESCRIPTION
This project will allow you to show the app name, package name and class name of current activity. And in real time!

Notes:
- If you are not rooted, you will need to grant the 'android.permission.DUMP' permission to Tasker via ADB.
- The project uses the %(WIN) variable, so it requires to have the 'App Check Method' set as 'Accessibility' to work well.
- If you don't mind switching App Check Method manually every time you want to use the project, it's OK. But, you have an optional action on both 'CAA - Start' & 'CAA - Stop' tasks, that will switch such option automatically for you.
