[GUIDE] Switch between 2g and 2g/3g automatically [Tasker app needed]

[NexusFanBoy]

Does it works on nexus 5 - kitkat 4.4.2 stock - Rooted - Busybox?
If yes, how? Have I to download semcphone.apk to let'sworks tasker?

Thanks...

1. Extract the files from attachment to sdcard/Tasker/Profiles.
2. Open Tasker
3. Long touch on "Profiles" tab
4. Select import
5. Select "Mobile data on" profile
6. Long touch on "Profiles" tab
7. Select import
8. Select "Mobile data off" profile
9. Click Green check in bottom left corner to exit Tasker and activate changes.
10. Test by toggling data connection (by widget or in notification bar). It takes a 2-3 seconds until Tasker makes the switch.

This might be a stupid question but what attachment are you talking about in step 1?

I figured, sorry I'm kinda new to this stuff, I'm on a Nexus 5 using Paranoid Android and the a fore mentioned semcphone.apk wouldnt install on my phone, just says install failed. I'm trying to create a task in tasker which sets the preferred mobile network to 2g for battery conservation purposes. Someone else said that they go the error, "Sorry, that action is unavailable on this mobile device". Your fix seemed to be the best as it avoided downloading gravity box or using some third party app, or even worse trying to manipulate code (way out of my element). Any help is hugely appreciated.

After importing my profiles, you can see 2 new tasks on Tasks tab: 3g and 2g. You can assign those tasks to any event in Tasker. But the change in data connection state is the best event for this in my opinion.

I have the same problem. May I have your 2 profiles please?
