Tasker Settings 2.0.0

This release restores functionality for the WiFi Tether and Do Not Disturb actions on newer Android versions.

What's New

  • WiFi Tether on Android 16+: The WiFi Tether action now works on Android 16 and above. This requires the use of Shizuku.
  • Do Not Disturb on Android 15+: The Do Not Disturb action can now turn DND off on Android 15 and above, which was previously restricted by new system behaviors.

Requirements

  • Tasker 6.6.11 or newer
  • Tasker Settings 2.0.0 or newer (Download links below)

CRITICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Due to Android restrictions, the installation and setup process is very specific. Please follow these steps carefully.

Step 1: Install The App

Android 14 and newer block the installation of Tasker Settings through the normal process. Please use one of the methods below.

Method 1: Easy Install (No PC Needed)

This method uses a special Tasker Task to install the APK directly on your device.

  1. Check Tasker Version: Ensure you are using Tasker version 6.6.11 or newer, as this is required for the Shizuku integration to work. If your current version is older, check if a newer stable release is available. If not, you can get the latest beta version from here.
  2. Install Shizuku: Make sure you have Shizuku installed and running.
  3. Import the Task: Add the Install APK task to your Tasker from this link.
  4. Run the Task: Run the "Install APK" task and select the Tasker Settings APK file you downloaded. The task will use Shizuku to install the app with the necessary bypass flag (--bypass-low-target-sdk-block).
Method 2: PC Install (Using ADB)

If you prefer or cannot use the first method, you can install the app from a computer using ADB.

  1. Setup ADB: You can find instructions for setting up ADB on your PC here.
  2. Run Install Command: Use the following command to install the app: 
    adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block FILENAME.apk
  3. Troubleshooting: If you get a permission error during ADB installation, go to your phone's Developer Options and disable "Check apps installed via USB" before trying again.

Step 2: Grant Permissions Manually

DO NOT grant permissions when the system prompts you. The app may crash. You must grant permissions manually in system settings:

  1. Go to Android Settings > Apps > Tasker Settings.
  2. Select "Permissions" and grant the required permission there.

FEATURE-SPECIFIC SETUP

Perform the following steps only if you plan to use these specific features.

If you need Do Not Disturb (DND)

After installing Tasker Settings, you must explicitly enable DND access to control it:

  1. Open the App: Open the Tasker Settings app from your app drawer.
  2. Follow the Redirect: The app will direct you to a system screen specifically for "Do Not Disturb" access.
  3. Enable Access: Find Tasker Settings in the list and toggle the switch to grant it the DND permission.

If you need WiFi Tether (Android 16+)

To use the WiFi Tether action on Android 16+, you must:

  1. Install and run Shizuku if you haven't already.
  2. Follow its instructions to get it running.
  3. Grant Tasker Settings permission to use Shizuku. You can easily request this permission by opening the Tasker Settings app.

Device-Specific Notes

Huawei/Xiaomi Devices: If you are repeatedly asked for permission when toggling WiFi, you may need to use the special Huawei/Xiaomi APK available below. More info here.
