[Tasker] Alert Slider Enhancement - OnePlus 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Are you disappointed with the OP5 alert slider? Have you ever wished you could expand it's functionality? Well now you can!
I wanted to share a project I've been working on that reacts to the alert slider position. This REQUIRES root as the profile is triggered when the following file has been modified:
/sys/class/switch/tri-state-key/state
This file contains a single integer which coincides to the slider position:
1 (up)
2 (middle)
3 (down)
Isn't there a simpler way (no root)?
I don't think so. As I understand, the alert slider does not send traditional key events (as most buttons do), and although you could monitor the DND status through the %INTERRUPT variable, DND can be triggered independently of the slider position so is not robust.
Fine, I'm rooted and can see the file. How does that help?
When the slider is moved, the following events happen:
1. The file is opened
2. The file is modified (example, change from 1 to 2)
3. The file is closed.
The 'Slider Position' profile is triggered by the 'File Closed' event, then the 'slider' task reads the file to assign the global variable %Slider based on the file's value. From here, you're free to use the variable value to trigger any task when %Slider matches up, mid, or down.
Splendid! So this gives me ABSOLUTE POWER over the slider?!
Not quite. I haven't found a way to replace the stock functions as much as expand on them. For example, the top position natively puts the phone into silent mode. If you create a task to take it out of silent mode, the OOS overrides it, and keeps the phone in silent. So you'll have to work within the confines of the native function, hence enhancement
Lame. So what's it good for?
Here's how the profile is setup now. I'd love to see what your clever minds come up with!
UP: Asleep (all radios off, mobile data off, sync off, battery saver on). Basically dead to the world except calls.
MID: Nothing yet, maybe I'll do some intermediate between the two extremes.
DOWN: Awake (all radios on, data on, sync on, battery saver off). Typical setting for standard usage.
Other ideas:
Coma mode: sleep mode + airplane with or without periodic check in.
Autovoice continuous on/off
Home/work/night profiles
Reading/night modes, invert colors
Auto brightness/rotate
Flashlight
Hotspot
Since I'm a dork and can't figure out how to attach a project zip or thumbnails, here's some screenshots.

Hold down on profile to select, then top right button and you can save it. I'm really interested in this, as it would be perfect for work.
Edit: as you can see I'm a noob Tasker and I downloaded my only profile, I have no idea how to do what you did.

I paraphrased my issue. I can export the project from Tasker without issue, but I can't attach it to the OP. Maybe it's because of my low post count. I've been lurking for years

Nice work! Use a bit of Tasker but didn't give this a thought ?

Can convert this to a 'Quiet Hours' Tasker macro to provide the old functionality of the Quiet Hours settings in LOS? Would be really nice to have a Quiet Hours option, overridden by a change event in the button position. Otherwise, Quiet Hours runs as normal. I sometimes forget to slide up when going to bed, only to have 'dings' wake me.

Never mind, sorry

Make a youtube tutorial? *Chanting make a youtube tutorial* DO IT!

This looks good, I have been using Tasker for a few weeks. I do like the idea of your alert slider idea though.

You can upload the file to Google drive, or afh and post the link. That would be helpful ?
I'm excited to give this a try

@jakvettjak when the slider will be down, notifications will also stop pushing I guess ?

Nope, as it's shown the down position is "awake" so fully connected, sound/vibrate, all radios on, sync on, etc. This is intended to mimic typical phone usage and reset all of the "sleep" settings which turned everything off.
I'm working on a "coma" mode for the up position that will put the phone into airplane mode, then disable it every so often to check in, before going back into airplane. Of course, when airplane mode is enabled you wouldn't get push notifications, but they should get pushed as soon as the phone checks in.
As "sleep" mode is shown, with mobile data, wifi, sync off you won't get push notifications, but SMS/call will still work. This mode would work well for the middle slider position where priority DND mode is enabled by default.

Is this thread dead?

The alert slider options to customize are kinda strange, it would be nice if it they were more like the stock Android do not disturb. Trying to use some of my Tasker profiles to mute notifications when connected to Bluetooth speakers but Tasker uses the Android stock do not disturb which conflicts with Oxygen os alerts. Looks like am making new profiles from the ground up.

I agree it's pretty limiting in stock form. Hopefully future updates will give us more control. I wonder if any ROMs on here have been able to modify the slider function.

Hey there. Wanted to try your file but
1. I've copy pasted the profile on Tasker/profiles but it doesn't shows up in selector menu.
2. I've tried adding it manuklay with the "open with" feature of mixplorer but still it doesn't loads up and it says that can open this file with Tasker. Bad intend or something.

Separate ringtone & notification volume

Does anyone know why ICS no longer appears to have the separate volumes for ringtones and notifications? Or was that a Touchwiz thing on my old Galaxy S?
More to the point is there any way to grt them separated as I used to have Tasker silence my notifications overnight and I don't want calls silenced too!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Can't really help with separating the two volume levels but if that's your problem you could simply let Tasker set the notification tone to "silent" instead of turning the volume down, assuming the is a "silent" tone (there is on honeycomb).
I found the same problem today buy fortunately my profile app Quick Profiles Pro lets me set different volumes for ringtone and notification and it works OK.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Good idea gokpog - unfortunately I've got different notifications for different apps, so I don't think this would work
chandlerweb - I'll have a look at Quick Profiles Pro. Have you actually received a phone call while notifications are silent?
James.
Has anyone found a workable solution to this yet? I also use separate alerts per application so the Quick Profiles app doesn't do quite enough to work for me.
I used quick profiles pro for this exact purpose and when I tested it by calling it from another phone, whichever volume (ringer or notification) was set quieter was the default for phone calls also. I like to leave the phone ringer on and notifications silent when sleeping for emergency purposes and also while working sometimes. This is a major fault with ICS unless I'm overlooking something.
No separation of ringers and notifications!?!?!?!
This change is a huge disappointment. Hopefully Google addresses this in a future release. The problem I was trying to solve was after I go to sleep, I want notifications to remain silent, while the ringer is set to full blast (I am always on call for work). I could schedule this with timeriffic on my Droid Incredible, but because the volume settings could not be set granularly in my Galaxy Nexus, I lost this functionality (and sleep).
I found a solution, though. I had already downloaded the paid version of Light Flow to control my status LED based on different messages that appear. I just realized it also controls sounds for each app. I can leave the global notification sound in ICS as silent and set individual alert sounds for each notification type in Light Flow. I can then set my sleep hours in Light Flow and specify that I only want the status LED to operate for each notification, and no sound during a certain set of hours.
Hopefully this helps someone. The same functionality may exist in Light Flow Lite, so you might not even need to purchase anything. Try it out. This solution would give you custom LED colors for each notification, as well as some peace and quiet at night, and custom sounds during the day.
Quicker can do it

Quicker looks like it does it, but it still won't allow me to change the volumes separately.
When I un-check "use ringer volume for notification" the notification volume slider doesn't change anything and reverts back to the ringer volume when you look at it again.
I found a solution that works for my needs. Ringleader allows you to set up profiles that you can change any or all of your individual ringtones to silent in one click.
It takes a while to configure. Once you install it you have to set all of your ringtones and alerts again using the Ringleader option for choosing alerts. If you set it as the default ringtone chooser option it simplifies the process. Once you have reset each one they will shop up in the Ringleader options list.
In Ringleader you then save a base profile. After you have a base profile saved you can edit all of the alert sounds individually through Ringleader and save new profiles.
I have three profiles. One is for normal use, one for phone calls only and one for silent. There is a simple widget available for switching them quickly.
Hopefully that helps someone else.
I still think Google needs to restore the option to separate the alerts and ringer volumes.
Try Audio Manager Pro from the market. It's a couple bucks, but allows you to create profiles and then you can toggle them from widgets independently. I used to use it to keep my ringer/notification tones THE SAME so I'd assume it works the same to separate them. Give it a shot. There's a free trial version as well.

For those receommending an app, are you SURE they work on ICS?
ICS has combined notification and ringtone volumes, so most of the apps Ive tried are not compatible. The Ringtone setting in the apps is what 'wins' and the notification setting does nothing. I use Llamma and it has this problem, dev knows about it but there is no way for it to be fixed as its an OS issue, not an app issue.
I also want this feature back as I turned notifcations silent at night, and have custom ones for several apps. Ringtone stays on.

rabscuttle mentioned RingLeader earlier. I've been using RingLeader Pro on my GNex, and it works pretty good. It won't let you control the notification volume separately, but, once set-up properly, you can easily silence notifications as needed. Once installed, you have to go into each app that has it's own notification sound (system notification sound, text msg, gmail, facebook, etc.) to set the notification sound. With RingLeader installed, it shows up as an option when setting sounds. Pick it instead of Android System. When all done, open up RingLeader, and each of those apps will be listed. From there you can create different RingLeader profiles. To create a profile to silence notifications; from RingLeader, select each app to set the notification (then use Android System when inside RingLeader) and select Silent. Do that for each app to silence at night, including the system notification sound, and then save profile. It has a widget for quick profile switching, and a Tasker plugin if you wanted to have profiles changed based on time/location.
I am using LIama to silent the notification based on location and times.
Hi guys,
I've just written an app to combat this exact annoyance with ICS. I hadn't found a solution I liked after being on ICS with my Sensation for a few weeks, so I decided to write an app myself.
Currently looking for beta testers. Head on over to my thread in the Sensation area if you're interested in helping me out and getting a free version of the app to use.

[XAP] Power Slider - App to change master volume & Screen Brightness

Hi,
I have created a simple app for changing master volume. This app would be helpful for those who do not wish to use physical keys. This app works in dev unlocked device and greater.
Finally, thanks to Fiinix for the dllImport project.
Update 1:
========
Added Screen brightness slider also. Not sure if it is really needed by users.
Though the values are updated to registry, there is not much difference in brightness while sliding.
Thanks to Heathcliff for WP7RootTools sdk.

Installed on my Focus and works well with one exception. Always shows 17 as the level if last set to 0 or mute. If set to any other number, that number will be properly displayed when closing and reopening this app.
HTC Titan dev unlock ok Thank a lot!

That did it, works fine. Was waiting for something like this.
At a guess, this shouldn't even require interop-unlock, much less full-unlock or root-unlock. Is that correct? I know you can change the volume level using DllImportProject on just dev-unlock only.
Few improvements imho:
*mute button should unmute if phone allready muted
*max level button
*arround 3 custom buttons (that you can previously set the vol level to w/e you want)
*a metro icon
cheers
In my not full-unlock rom of my HTC Mozart work well. Thanks.

@GoodDayToDie,
Yes, all dev unlocked devices will be supported. It doesn't need full unlock.
@fredsky2,
Will update with a metro icon and preset button. Max vol could be configured in preset itself.
The api does not have support for mute. I could only reduce the volume to 0. Even if I store the value locally, it will not be useful if physical keys are also used in parallel.
a most excellent idea, thanks. will provide feedback once i actually try it out.
definitely a nice application.
and i do agree with the suggestions by @fredsky2, plus a 'return to default 15 volume' button.
i don't see the use of Custom Buttons beyond a Max, Default & Mute button.
i also suggest removing the Splash Screen, application should load more swiftly.
if you want to do a Mute/Unmute button, you might...
when Mute button is pressed:
01. catch & save the current volumeValue
02. change volumeValue to 0
03. change button Title to Unmute or hide buttonMute to reveal buttonUnmute
when [Un]mute Button is pressed:
01. grab savedVolumeValue
02. change volumeValue to savedVolumeValue
03. change Button Title to Mute or hide buttonUnmute to reveal buttonMute

Oh My God! Thanks OP for coming out with this. Your timing couldn't be any better....
I just posted a dismantling guide for the Titan in the Titan fora and I accidentally broke the data strip that connects the volume hard keys to the device. Much to my surprise (or lack thereof), there is no way to change volume without these keys (or with a headset that allows you to do this). Your app is literally the answer to my prayers
Thanks again!
@sh4d0w86,
Improved loading speed of app by removing unwanted dll's. It should be now faster.
Works on my Windows Phone Samsung Focus, Chevron Unlocked, Mango . Here are my suggestion.
1. Live Tile to Mute, Bring Volume to a Defined Level.
2. Colour of the bar can change from green to yellow to red depending if volume is low, medium and high.
- Live Tile can also follow the color codes
3. Support for Vibrate Mode and Live tile for it.
4. Fancy Stuff :
- Let user tilt the phone to change volume.
- Support with Talk Me to set volume to a desired level.
And Like sh4d0w86 said, sync when volume is changed with hardware button.
---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------
If possible bring in the profiles where I can have combination of Volume Level, Vibration etc to change it at a certain time or when I need it.
@Purushoth
Very useful app, works very well on my Omnia 7 with custom rom.
Big thanks.
@sh4d0w86,
Added custom buttons as you guys wished.
I tried to change icon. But I am very poor in design. Please feel free to change the icon and post.

Not receiving notifcations/Receiving them late - Note 10+/Exynos

Hey guys.
I have been using this phone for a number of days, and it seems like ever since I activated a battery saving option which I can't seem to single out, I stopped receiving notification when the phone is locked and/or I'm receiving them with a delay. receiving
I'm also having a problem with things that requires the phone to have an active data/wi-f- connection when locked, like WhatsApp Web or Google photos backup.
There is no data/wi-fi saving or limiting option enabled. I specifically added gmail, whatsapp and other app that I wish to receive lock notifications from to the "Not optimized" list.
I'm attaching my battery settings screenshots for reference.

It looks like disabling Adaptive Battery helped a bit, but it is still not perfect. In addition, I don't understand why adding the specific apps to the "Not Optimized" list does not affect anything.

Sorry about that errant link to Fantasy Football.
Here is the link to follow to remove Apps that Adaptive Battery settings put in 'jail' so they won't ever run in the background.
Promise its not Fantasy Football but steps to help fix notifications/slowness
I don't think it's anything to do with adaptive battery.
If you go into the developer menu and down to the bottom there is an option standby apps. Once in there you'll see apps listed, if they're set to ACTIVE they are allowed to do what they like. Even with full battery optimisation set Gmail is always ACTIVE and is still having issues. I think it's actually an issue with the phone going into some kind of standby mode. Sometimes it does and therefore notifications are off and sometimes it doesn't and everything is fine.
I tried everything mentioned here and it seems to work for about one day and then the delay was back (especially in WhatsApp).

Further to this, it doesn't seem to be an issue when the device is charging so presumably thats keeping something alive.
This thread has been inactive for weeks but I think this problem still exists. A Google search for "lockscreen notification delay" brings up a number of reports from various Samsung, Oneplus and other Android users - but still no single solution.
For a while I did not even think I had the problem because it does not appear unless your phone is inactive for about 10-15 minutes.
The problem appears to have something to do with changes to Optimize Battery Settings not sticking.
I found a workaround but it has to be done everytime the phone is rebooted.
- Under Optimize Battery Usage make sure that Whatsapp,Gmail or whatever notification app is being delayed is NOT Optimized
- Use the ADB command "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable". This has to be done from a computer with the phone connected to it. Or if you have root you can run it directly from the phone using Terminal Emulator.
Somebody from the Oneplus forums has also created a Magisk Module that appears to work on Samsung phones. You can find it in post #65 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/guide-notification-fix-100-t3865551/page7
Is this the only way to fix this or has somebody found a better way?
At first, when I downloaded, installed, put the accounts, and all pertinent stuff, I observed this problem, no mails and no whatsapps until waking the device, or worst, had to enter the apps, but, I found the above solutions/steps, and, everything is working fine since Sept 13th, no delays, all working fine, even battery life is really good

The moderate power save also caused issues with late notifications on my device. I've only turned it on to test it but even after putting back to optimised and/or high mode did not rectify the issue. Somehow, few days later, I've managed to correct it but I've done so many changes that I've no idea how or what fixed it.
I had this issue on my S10 + to particularly with whatsapp! Messages would come in delayed or i just wouldnt get the notification for some reason! I never figured it out unfortunately but thankfully it seems to be ok on my note 10 + which is strange because i literally have this device set up EXACTLY the same as my S10 + in terms of settings etc ! If i remember correctly however, My S10+ didnt have this issue at the beginning!

Similar to this or a shine effect only around camera or tens of other styles can be used to indicate an event such as charging, music playing or a notification to help you to know even who texted you just by a glance far from your phone.
some of you may know this app before and some may had struggled with it in its bad moment with a broken version but it did not stop improving and all got fixed and many more feature added.
Because this app has tons of options to customize your phone, even wallpapers, I will start by writing instructions for how to enable the basic options of the feature which this thread is about:
How To:
1- Search google play "AOE" or "Always On Edge" and install this ~6MB App
2- Enter section #1 "Main Settings"
choose if you want the LED effect to be shown within System Ambient Display or a separated screen
3- enable accessibility services and give required permissions
4- Go back and enter section #2 "App settings"
for when to light choose "when a notification comes" and/or charging lighting as you like
5- scroll to bottom and save.
6- Enter enabled apps section and make sure the app you will test with is enabled
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
Please give the app some time only once and then you will not need to even open it:
After testing please discover all sections the app can do what ever you need for such feature
like at the same place of step 4 you can enable Mixer which show all current notifications colors
and Reminder which repeat lighting every X seconds and let other options you may like.
in lighting settings section you can customize the general style of lighting.
the app is indeed complicated due to variety of options and I'm always working on improving it.
Battery Drain:
I use it personally for notifications only, all apps, while screen is on and off, reminder for 5 seconds every 5 seconds limited to 30 repeat and I got 100s of emails and messages and the app is not even on system battery use list. but in general this app can be used with no noticeable difference in battery usage and it can drain your battery in few hours. it depends on the options you choose, there are a lot of options to minimize battery consuming it basically depends on lighting time and enabled widgets.
in worst cases there is options to prevent the app from working if device is not charging and other 10s of options so you can set when the app should not light as when the app should light.
App brief description:
AOE contain a lot of features and options and all can be customized as you like, here is some of the main features:
Edge lighting can also be customized for charging, music, wallpaper and many other events
It can be customized to work in a highly flexible way with AOD clock or independently, or even both like Tap to Light feature.
Lighting can be around all screen or around front camera or both with many other lighting place options like LED style with variety of animations.
You can use it to show lighting effects for many events like notifications including missed calls of course, charging, fully charged, screen lock, screen unlock, headset plugged, listening to music ,
ongoing or outgoing calls, recent apps menu and flash after unlock.
You can customize lighting color, style, effect and place for each event, each app, each contact name or even each chat group.
Notifications light has more useful additional features like Reminder which the lighting will be repeated every period you choose and you can even choose to make a sound alert for notification reminder,
and Mixer which will iterate through all current notifications colors..
Brightness can be adjusted regardless of the lighting is independent or with Always On Display, on top of that you can set high brightness for lights and low brighting for AOD/clock widgets.
It has many options to restrict its job like prevent the app from lighting if device is charging, not charging, not in landscape mode, low battery, sleep time or to follow Do Not Disturb mode.
with a block list to prevent it from working for someone
AOE also support lighting in all screen states, turned off or turned on, horizontal or vertical.

Pretty cool! I didn't know about this app so thanks for sharing! Anyone else have any cool mods or recommendations for settings?
Awesome. Could you add the settings you use to center it on the hole? I'm getting there but just be nice as a starting point then could adjust thickness to taste . Thanks again! So cool. Takes me to back to OMG! NEXUS HAS A NOTIFICATION LED.

sorry I do not have a pixel but automatic adjustment should be fine initially (is not it?) then click preview and adjust manually a little bit using -+ buttons
Already paid for the Lifetime. This works really well!

This is as close as I could get it to center.
That's seems different from mine. By 10+ on some. I wonder how much the display size setting effect it. Thank you for the starting point.
I managed to use this app but everytime I got a new message after a restart, the app just don't work, does anybody knows a workaround? or it's just me not having a correct config?
seems gone from the playstore

Yeah, unfortunately. I just discovered it yesterday so I installed it from here. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/alrbea-ent/always-on-edge-edge-lighting-/
But I also wanted to unlock all features by buying pro and that seems not to work without PlayStore

How To Guide Control Always On Display via Tasker

I like using AOD but don't need it on when I'm sleeping. I had the same need with my Pixel 3XL. Same solution works with Tasker on the 6 Pro. I'm just going to turn it off from 11pm to 7am but you could do it for all sorts of situations such as when connected to a certain BT device (in car for example). One time tasker setup will require you to turn on USB debugging and run the command
adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Here it is in Taskernet. Turn AOD Off/On a schedule
Thanks, it's been a while since I used Tasker and other apps like it, but I might try this.
Thx a bunch! Was looking for this. Will try the same.
One suggestion: Can you maybe also share your tasker project on Taskernet? Than it would be really easy for anyone to import and try it out.

Good idea. I haven't done much with Tasker in a few years so didn't even know about Taskernet. Hopefully this works? Turn AOD Off/On a schedule
you can set the do not disturb times and the AOD goes off

That's what I've done on other devices and will try it on this 6 Pro! cheers
Scheduler based on time is nice.
Now what I would like to do is to have AOD only enabled when there is an unnoticed active notification on my phone. So that I kinda make AOD as my notifiaction LED replacement?
Using Tasker to toggle AOD is a great solution. Alternatively, I just turn my phone over so the display faces down. This also causes the AOD to turn off. I do this before going to sleep or during the day when I don't need to keep an eye on the display.

aodNotify has a function for this. However, as I understand it, it simply draws over AOD to make it black. I do not know this for a fact,so someone please chime in. However, if the display is black, I would imagine that there is some battery savings, so long as the app is not chewing up more in return. It does, though, tell you when there is a notification because the screen is lit.

I believe your interpretation is correct, or at least close enough.

I am not so sure about the battery saving because this means that both AOD and AODNotify will be active all the time. Actually having just AOD online all the time would consume less battery. So AODNotify gets useless in the end?

There's an event of "notification" that you could add. There's also a variable you could check to see if the screen is off. Then set that to AOD On. I just tried that and it worked fine.
I'd have to do some testing to see the best way to turn AOD back off when there aren't any notifications but there's probably a way to look at screen off and no notifications.

I've done it already and have been using it in Tasker since the Pixel 3. It's been a crazy week for me, so please be patient and I'll report back later with screen shots and/or a taskernet link for you to download.

Works fine on Pixel 5(CrDroid 7.21, Android 11), but when this is enabled on AOD also appears alarm icon set to 10 minutes in the future and time of the alarm changes with time and is exactly 10 minutes ahead.
Why? How to turn this off?

I've had that too. It can be disabled in Tasker preferences and disabling Reliable Alarms. Otherwise I think there's an app called System UI Tuner that can be used to remove icons from the task bar including alarm.
As of the May update (to Pixel 6Pro and Tasker) I get a message Cannot run settings. Error says Need newer version (or missing?) of tasker setting app. Please contact developer.
I emailed tasker dev, but while he's Out of Office I thought I'd ask here to anyone else getting this message and error?
Reply from developer.
Hi there. Are you please able to install this app on your phone and then try again from Tasker? Thanks in advance.
Also, be sure to give the app the needed permissions via ADB (https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/help/ah_secure_setting_grant.html) but with the package name set to com.joaomgcd.taskersettings instead of net.dinglisch.android.taskerm.
Also, make sure to exempt the Tasker Settings app from battery optimization (https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/faqs/faq-problem.html#00) so that Tasker can call it in the background.
Check here for more info on this: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/target_api.html

Fun fact, there is an alternative for people like me who cannot really pay for tasker.
You can configure Bedtime Mode to also turn off the always-on display and then adjust your alarm like usual
