Taster change android settings

[Darren Baker]

Hi all I'm sorry to bother you but I'm really stuck and I'm not sure its just me being rubbish or if I'm missing something

I am trying to make a simple toggle app that changes a system settings, it works perfectly in tasker but when I export it to an app it's just does nothing and I can't work out why

I have also tried to make it using a Shell script but got nowhere with this I was unable to get any settings change using shell

All I'm doing is changing the value of

touch_disable_mode to 0

I'm assuming tasker settings does not export to an app and that's why it's not working

When I try shell

I use
setting out system touch_disable_mode 0

And I just get error 255 or some other

This settings is specific to Huawei phones but I have the same problem if try Changing brightness for instances

Is there anyway anyone can point me in the right direction or tel me even if this is possible

Many thanks

I assume you are trying to use the Custom Setting action to do this? 

Did you enable the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission as shown in the help text for that action?

Hi Robert

Thank you for your help with this.

Yes I am using custom setting (sorry should of mentioned this)

No I have not done write secure settings. As I was under the impression system is not a secure setting only global and secure are as they ask you to activate write secure

Also it works as a task with out me doing that it’s just when I export it to an app.

I’m happy to do this if it will help but I need to export it as an app for other phones and this would be to complicated for others to follow so I hope it can be done with out that

Thank you again

When it fails, do you get an error? 

[Darren Baker]

It only fails when it’s exported as an app though app factory, and no errors are produced I even add a flash message to show any errors

As a task it works flawlessly. I’m wonder if talker setting can’t be used as an app this is where I tried shell but that looks like it’s beyond my ability as I cant get anything to work

Try adding app permissions to the task.

[Darren Baker]

My appogise, I’m not sure how to do this

The app does ask for the write setting permission on its own which is authorised.
