Hi all,It seems the dev is no longer responding to posts here. It seems the website is down. It seems the app does not function properly with ICS
Yes.

It worries me that SP us still for sale in Google Play, but sometimes my install forgets that it's licensed and I need to reinstall from Google Play.

I haven't replaced the widget yet. However, based on what I've done so far, I dont think I'm going to need it. For example, I used to use it to turn GPS on while I was driving and then turn it when I was done. However, with Tasker, Tasker just turns GPS off when the Bluetooth connection is no longer active. I think there is a way to set up a widget with a menu to run tasks which might be similar to setting profiles. However, I haven't determined yet how to do it yet, but it is supposedly doable. The app is just too complicated to figure it all out in a short time. More I look at it though, the less I think I even need the widgets because it is customizable enough to handle just about any situation. If it ever figure out how to setup some men you and how to keep the task running, I will post a message here.

I find the widget useful as well, but since Tasker turns on GPS in my car for me, I haven't had much need lately for the widget. However, I did try to use my SP Widget this morning to keep my screen on for a while, so there are uses for the widget. I just haven't figured out how in Tasker to capture my time input for keeping the "profile" active for the time selected, but I'm sure there's a way.

I used the widget in SP a lot and do so now in Profile Scheduler. I don't think I could live without it. Thanks for the reply.

What about the widget? Have you found a way to replace that functionality or are you living without it? I own Tasker, but I just haven't found the time and patience to learn it and set it up.

Setting Profiles can't do this at all, I believe. The text message even tells the recipient how fast I'm going. I have it set up to turn GPS on when I get in my car, due to the Bluetooth connection. There is an add on to tell if you are moving in a car but it's easier to do it by checking whether I'm connected to my bluetooth I think this is finally going to be my substitute for Setting Profiles. Many other profile apps are triggered by events only but Tasker also has state triggers such as during an appointment in your calendar. As long as the appointment is active, the tasks will trigger. This is unlike some of the other apps I've played with that I had problems with trying to decide what to do with begin and end triggers for calendar appointments. Anyway, if you haven't tried it, you ought to. It's not as hard as I thought, especially with the new interface. I've programmed Word and other macros for years and much of the syntax to Tasker is similar (e.g., If, Else, End If).

I tried the timer task but couldn't get it to work quite right. Of course, this was when I first started with Tasker, so I didn't t really know what I was doing. When I asked on the Tasker Google group about recreating the SP menu system, the developer suggested I might need a scene and use sliders for input. I think that's a bit too complicated for the few times I might not use the timer, but we'll see. Tasker has all my SP rules now. I just need to figure out if I really need to create timers for a few occasional situations.

Although Tasker would let me create something more elaborate, I thought it easier to create a few tasks, place them on my home page as widgets, and then collect them in a folder. That way I'll have a cascading type menu of tasks to run for a specified time. I can create folders in my S4. If other phones don't have this option there are apps such as FolderOrganizer that can do it.
