[PROJECT] Material Color Palette v1.1 (UPDATE)

DESCRIPTION
Here you have a very useful project if you usually work a lot with colors. Well now you will have them more at hand than ever, and without the need of third-party apps. 😉

Some info about Material Design Colors
The Google Material Design color palette uses a 10-point scale of 50 to 900, with 50 being the lightest tint, 900 being the darkest shade, and 500 representing the primary color. They also introduce an almost neon-like A-series for most colors (A100, A200, A400, and A700).

The Material Design color palette comprises primary and accent colors that can be used for illustration or to develop your brand colors. They’ve been designed to work harmoniously with each other.

Notes:
- Single tap on second screen to copy color hexadecimal code (with alpha portion), and long tap to copy the same but with HTML format (without alpha portion).

[TASK] Toggle Android's Background Process Limit v1.1

DESCRIPTION
This task will allow you to toggle in the background, and check the current process limit value for Android. Found under Developer Options.

Notes:
- Current Tasker version (5.8.3+) can't toggle that option, due to lack of the 'android.permission.SET_PROCESS_LIMIT' permission on its AndroidManifest. But the request is done, and accepted by the dev. So, as I don't know when this will be implemented officially, here you can download a test build that the dev sent to me, including the required permission, if you need it to be implemented in your projects asap.

CREDITS
@SmartPhoneLover

CHANGELOG
- Other: setProcessLimit() action enabled, as Tasker (test build) now has the required permission. (5.8.x+)
- Other: Changed task name.

Here is the successor to the set of scenes 'Custom LockScreen Scenes'. Now considered as a project, with the possibility of blocking apps without the need of third-party apps.

These are some of its main features:
· Four different lock screen styles available: Password (PIN), NockCode, PadLock, Pattern.
· Switchable from a single task, and Tasker will do the rest.
· Customizable background lockscreen: images or solid colors.
· Extra resources available to fully costumize it as you like.
· And more... (?)

[PROJECT] Current App Activity v1.2

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.
- About the last two notes before this one: As you can now get values in a loop process, instead of using the profile, if decided; there's no need to toggle 'App Check Method' now. So, you can disable both actions labeled as 'Optional'.
- Use the 'CAA - Setup (Work Method)' task to choose how the project will work. (dumpsys window, by default)

[PROJECT] Custom Stock Navbar v1.1

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: Minor changes.

[NEWS] [ANDROID] If you are a project creator, did you know you can test them in another Tasker instance without an ADB connection?

VMOS
Run Android within your Android


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] Proximity Sensor Workaround for Redmi Note 7 v1.0

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.

[PROJECT] CamScanner Auto - Free your hands v1.0

- Countdown
- Space left check on each shot
- Auto-shots (you will only have to start or stop it using the proximity sensor)
