Hello everyone ! Here we go for a small story :

Nowadays, your device has bluetooth, wifi, adaptive brightness and a lot of other settings. I was tired to switch between screens to enable or disable them one by one.

That's why I created μTask which automate this process. µTask allow you to create a task for each app which will be applied when you launch the app.

There is a bunch of possibilities :

- Brightness auto/manual
- Media volume default/manual
- Mobile data on/off
- Wifi on/off
- Bluetooth on/off
- GPS on/off (beta)
- Synchronization on/off

And if your device is rooted, you can enjoy more features (depending of your kernel) :

- CPU governor
- Maximum CPU frequency
- Minimum CPU frequency
- IO scheduler
- Read ahead buffer
- TCP congestion algorithm
- High audio performances on/off
- High wifi performances (wifi_pm) on/off

DOWNLOAD

For those who are unable to access the google play store, the apk is available in the download section



Keep in mind that it's still a BETA !​

TODO LIST​

Here are the features which needs to be implemented or the bugs to solve.

- Brightness default mode (fixed)
- Sync on/off (fixed)
- Reset parameters individually (fixed)
- Fix brightness bug (waiting for feedbacks)
- Data on/off bug (waiting for feedbacks)
- GPS background toggle (using root and secure settings) (investigating)
- GPS bug (investigating)
- Screen rotation (todo)
- Screen timeout (todo)
- Separate volume toggle (todo)
- Xposed system hook (todo)
- Event on jack plugged (todo)
- Event for battery (todo)

I will take a look for your suggestion. But it could be difficult because a non-system app can not enable/disable the gps in background.
However, I can develop a parameter for the gps settings window opens when you launch the application. Does it seems correct for you ?

For the Motorola 2013 Droid, when you ask Touchless control to read the notifications, the volume is really low. But Touchless control is not a standalone app, it's embedded in the settings of the device. Will the "media volume on/off feature in this app help solve the problem?

Ps. I like the idea of this app, it sounds like Motorola's smart action!

Suggestion: Select a language

I usually want my phone to be in English, but for one particular app, I would like to use a different language (G+ -> German). Do you think that's possible?

Would it be possible to make it hook to the device settings through Xposed, so that a service in the background isn't required for those who have it installed?

I just added an option to toggle the GPS (on/off). However, due to Android, non-system app are not allowed to toggle it in background. That's why when the user will open the app, the settings will open to toggle the gps.

For those who want details : http://stackoverflow.com/a/5481752

Moreover, I solved a big issue with mobile data switch.

Enjoy ;)

PS: the update could take time to appear in the Google Play, updated apk is available in the download page

    Hook to sytem through Xposed please. It won't require a background service if xposed is used.

    Cool concept.. Lightweight at the moment... Adding screen rotation would be really useful.
