I know there are threads on tasker, but i have to say, this is one sick app.
all you have to do is send sms with secret word from any phone and Tasker will enable wifi, gps, and send back a link to google maps with phone location.
That is amazing, but...
Pity the GPS, Compass and Google Maps implementation is completely ****ing broken!
I would definitely love to use this when (or if) the locational services ever do function. Thanks for the heads up -- I had no idea this existed.
There are multiple apps like "Where's my droid" that do this as well.

Maybe, but tasker does thousand other things. For me gps works fine, but there is a problem with compass

And doesn't 'where is my droid' only rings the phone if u send sms ?
If its not too long, would you mind posting your contexts and tasks to achieve just that exact same you just described? I'm trying to get better with the program although at a very slow pace
Thanks a lot mate!

Yeah i was interested in how you did it as well. I am just learning this tasker app and it doesnt seem that you can import and export tasks easily.

you can find it here: http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
the guy is using GPS only, but its pretty straight forward to include WIFI in this as well (WIFI is for better location without GPS). The time to wait for GPS to get a lock is up to you, I have 1 min.
and as you can see there is a profile there if you wish to lock you phone with SMS and/or play sound. (havent tried that)
For now I have these tasks: 1. If power ON, screen timeout is set to 45 sec (from 15), and lockguard is disabled 2. from 7:30pm to 8am screen brightness set to min and to AUTO other times. 3 Created a widget for "Vibrate" and "Bluetooth" since Vibrant is missing easy access to those functions (in a nice menu widget to save space). 4. I have several tasks killed at boot since they are useless anyway. (for this need to insert WAIT command with whatever time needed since some tasks start after the phone boots)
Thanks a lot for that link! Was able to create my own widget too now!

Read that Lookout drains battery, one of the features of Tasker is to actually save battery.

Any idea how to get this installed? I don't have it showing on my phone. Also, it shows it is only available in Germany and the UK. Do you have a work around to allow it to work anywhere?

It seems that the network is disconnected when the screen is off. It's a problem if you have something running (like a torrent download).
Anyone knows how to fix this?

I'm doing that now (aDownloader has this option too). But it isn't the best solution, since the screen remains on consuming power.
Since this option is present in standard Android (my SGSII has too), maybe we can just edit some hidden settings file. Any idea?

I'm sure you could. I just like to do things manually Lol.
Wake lock powermanager from the Android market. It allows you to take out a variety of locks on the system one of which is the wake lock. Since the device isn't sleeping wifi shouldn't go off. It can also take out a lock for the screen to keep it on if that's what it takes on the Fire. I use it on my old Archos tablet running 1.5 (cupcake) which needs the wake lock to keep any music player working. But I think one of the lock types it supports should be something that works on the Fire. The only apps I use that need wifi also keep the screen on like the video player so I've not installed it myself on my Fire.
Hello guys. I've been playing around with Jelly bean official, deleting some apps, adding other apps, and together with members on this page we were able to find some bugs and some workarounds. Well, i have some suggestions so that you guys can improve on speed (at least seemed to have worked for me ).
1) Download from Play Store app: Android Tuner (link for freeversion, has less options), Titanium backup, Gemini app
2) At Android Tuner, Go to Main Menu then again on the option One-Click (with the blue android) and it'll appear 2 options. One wich says One-click reset (it'll put all the buttons blue with on), and the other ont wich says "on boot" . Click on both, Leave the last one unchecked (it is not necessary to constantly do this, you can do it manualy later.
3) On same page, at the top wich says "build" click on it. Below you'll find a option wich says Presets, click and then Apply all presets. (later search for debug.sf.nobootanimation (click on the red cross, to remove it in orther to keep )
4)SysCtl, click at Recommended, the app will calculate for your phone automaticaly then click on boot so that it'll boot always with same configuration. (we can test this later, other configurations suggested by the users)
5) on the tab, scroll to your left untill you find the option SD, select cache size :2048 then click "on boot)
6) Slide again to the option OOM, and basicacly is setting same configuration as we use on Maximum Overdrive to max usage of RAM :
Select light preset
Then click on boot.
7) Using this app or titanium backup freeze or remove:
Samsung Push notification app
Email.apk
ExchangeServer.apk
8) Using Germini app ,click Menu then expert mode search for the following apps: Maps.apk, talk.apk, select each of them, select configure autorun, then press menu, and Disable app. (The app will still work, but use less the CPU usage, leaving free for other apps).
9) Go back to Android Tuner and On the main menu running click on One-Click (with a toolbox) -> Manage and it'll appear 5 options , click 1 by 1 on each.
10) reeboot
Optional: 11) Remove all live wall papers or convert to user apps, and free till 130 MB memory, using titanium backup, press menu then integrate dalvikcache.
12)Convert database to WAL(faster database).
13)On Android Tuner run again Defrag registry
Now you should have a much smoother experience.
I've tested this with Wanamlite wich is free of bloatware.
I hope this helps to get a better experience.
Note: In touchwiz launcher, when you create a folder at the menu, and you insert there your apps, if after a reeboot for some reason the apps are not there it is because you have your apps instaled on your SD card, go to app manager, select the app and move to Internel SD Card, and it is solved.
Is the app Including a boot controller ?

For now no. I've made this guide more and less three days after testing. Never has issues. Seems to be working great and fast battery life, With wifi off and power save on. Had an estimated of 7 hours screen watching a movie. When I can test ill share the results. But if someone could test this would be great. Once I had 2 hours and 30 min of display use and still was 78%.

I used System Tuner Pro and it had all the options that were posted here..but i did experience lag with the oom settings so i tweaked them but this app has an option to disable startup items also so you would not need to download Germini app that you were talkng abut

Hello!
Something I've noticed while using my old Nexus S while im waiting for Nexus 5
Go in Developer settings > Background process limit (all the way down)
set it to "At most 2 processes".
It will speed up your phone more than you can think without affecting performance.
Report your findings.
Btw I am using THIS Android 4.4 ROM with stock kernel on Dalvik.
Have fun!
EDIT: You must re-set this everytime phone reboots

It re-loads cache whenever i open up an app i previously opened. Like in messaging app, all contact icons won't get preloaded.
doesn't seems to have any impact at all on my Nexus S.
Yeah I am waiting for my Nexus 5 also!
This setting can only help you if you use memory-intensive apps, with the cost that most apps will start slower than before and also the background processes started by the apps can be killed more easily which is not always a desirable thing. Reducing the number of concurrent processes from the default can lead to unwanted consequences. These preferences aren't in the developer options by mistake, I would not fiddle with them if I don't have a valid reason. And "try this stuff, maybe it sppeds up your phone, maybe not" is definitely not one.
Eh, as i use my nexus s as an mp3 player it definitely helps run a lot smoother

Yes you can, but it will cost you some CPU processing. I find my device more responsive in airplane mode where it does not need to handle the connections. If somebody does not use these functions it's worth a try before fiddling with some random setting from the bottom of the Development menu.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask you something, it is a thing which I did not tried earlier so I have no knowlage about it.
What I need is some app with which I can mirror the screen of my phone (S7 Edge non-rooted, Android 7) to my Windows 8.1 PC. I need also to be able to do stuff on the phone directly via the PC, like opening apps, and answering on instant messages.
Is there a way to do it without root, and if yes, what would you recomend? Thank you in advance.
Just search it in Youtube.... cuz I forgot the app

I have no access to youtube here, also I do not know what to search exactly from.
To get it in short, I need some sort of remote control of my phone via PC, but not like Teamviewer which keeps the display and phone awake all times. I need something to be able to use without the screen on the phone itself turning on, or if not possible like that, to turn it on just when I do something via remote and to get it again to turn of when idle.
