So I just got Tasker the other day and have been a bit busy trying to automate even the simplest tasks, even picking up a little bit of Regex to liven up a few projects. So far, I only have a few complete projects, and I'd like to hear some from those who already have the app.

Some projects I have done are:
  • Google Two Step Verification Text Popup
  • Limit call length on landlines that charge an insane rate per minute
  • Shut off data antenna as soon as its use would incur additional charges
  • Turn on Wifi as I near my house, turn off data antenna as wifi connects
  • Volume buttons wake the phone, as my current build doesn't support this
  • Shortcut to run the command that reboots to the Stock Rom
  • Kill Facebook and the second leading app in battery consumption when in sleep for more than 15 minutes




None.

My brother set it up to shake to turn on the flashlight.

I don't do much customization on my phone because I am going to wipe it semi frequently, and android can't backup worth crap.

Tried a NANDROID or Ti?

Also, I set Tasker up to check my Google Calendar work schedule; Tasker will check at midnight when my next day of work is and set four alarms at: 1:05 before I start, 1 hour before, a half hour before, and 20 minutes before. When an alarm is tagged as created in this profile, the alarm will erase itself once it's stopped manually.

I can't use root and I can't use adb.exe. Needs to be a built in program where I install some android software on my computer and backup everything. Otherwise it's worthless. I also have no way of using my SD card since I can't format it and I can't unencrypt it with my password.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
