Hi,

I bricked my phone; I am only left with adb – any interaction such as touch/keyboard/input don't work (full details: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3341-system-ui-keeps-stopping-lockscreen-loop-adb-available-signal-backup/ – also adb input doesn't work)

My goal is to get one file in /data (the private encryption key of Signal Messenger) off the phone.

Applications with su rights on the phone: Magisk, Termux, TitaniumBackup, Tasker.

I can start tasker and other apps from adb shell, I can also install new apks.

Now the question: Is there any way to interact with Tasker from adb shell? Any way to create a task? Can I create a plugin that adds tasks to tasker?

Thank you for your help,

Marcel

You could use a Broadcast receiver to receive broadcasts and in the task use the Import Data action to set Tasker up automatically but that would require you to set something up in Tasker beforehand unfortunately.

Thank you for your contact.

Tasker: customize/automate anything on your phone!

AutoApps: add advanced functionality to Tasker via plugins
