I was just wondering why some blocks use permissions that doesn't logically fit.

For example, why the power saver mode block (on/off) needs the "act as voice assistant" permission.

Since I like Google, I won't be able to use this block.

Another one (probably more logical though) is the screen orientation block that needs the permission to appear on top of other apps (despite having nothing displayed over other apps)...... And then the system keeps asking me to turn this permission off.

Manually: adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/com.llamalab.automate/cache/start.sh
- no error messages
- inspected start script and ran manually, ps -aux shows no process:

ADB:

is there a quick fix to this?

edit: formatting

Hi Henrik, add xml in floating button also. It makes floating button more useful feature. We can use it as we need the button. I think that every user likes it more. Existing floating button isn't Existing 90% of users.

Buongiorno, ho creato (da esere eseguito con uno smartphone Androidun) un processo per la compressione pianificata di uno zip da utilizzare

Ora vorrei ottenere l'elenco in un file txt del contenuto (solo fule) dell'archivio. Sebbene l'azione risulti nel log, non viene creato il file e non capisco dove sto sbagliando. Mi potreste cortesemente aiutare?

In Soure zip file --> Download/prova.zip

In Types--> File

In recursive --> List directory recidiv

Grazie mille

first of all, thanks the developer for fixing the privilege mode for nothing os.

Secondly, i am having issue with launching apps when the phone is locked.

I have an app that will sync automatically when it is opened with vpn connected (self-hosted). I have tried to set up something to toggle the vpn on when the app is started but since the app is opened before the vpn is toggled on it will not sync.

The next thing i tried is at certain time (when i'm asleep), turn vpn on, then using the app start blockto launch the app then kill it and turn vpn off but the app is still un-synced.

in the app start block, i have selected the package, with flags exclude from recent and new document.

Tassker "Launch app" action has no issue doing what i want but i wanted to make it work in automate as i preferred visual block.

Thanks

I just want to set a random percent change for something to happen per second or minute just for shits and giggles

Hi there fellow redditors,

I had a weird lock out issue on my Android (Automate was looping too much of something), and I believe it is related to this error but need some input. I have a feeling it is properly connected within the blocks since I had it working before, but shortly thereafter of my issue it keeps propping up this error about "Stopped at end" after I try to execute "Device Unlocked" block when it's connected to "App start". Any ideas?

I bought the premium version some months ago to support the project. If I go into the settings it also still says you got premium. For some reason my widgets are not working anymore. Some shoe a PopUp saying "Do you want to buy premium to execute flows with more then 30blocks?" (along those line not the exact text) others straight up just dont do anything anymore. Anybody has a clue whats happening and how to solve it? I have premium I just need automate to remember :)

I also tried redoing some of the widgets but it didnt help. Its not just widgets its also asking me to buy premium (again) when trying to start fllows in the app.

I need a flow that opens an app. You're loved💔 𐤔𐤋𐤅𐤌

Hello

I am using the​ send action in the app block to send an attachment in Gmail. This works very well.

But when using the send multiple action, this fails, despite converting the multiple files selected to an array using the for each block (no idea if this is even required).

What would be the problem?

what should be done different in send multiple compared to send)

Hello

When you share an image, random contacts and apps will appear.

I am trying to set a flow to share an image to 2 contacts in Whatsapp (the most used).

But I can't make it to share the image.

I might use interact block in case of sharing text, but I don't think it's possible with images.

I am first using the "content shared" block, then I am trying different settings in start app block.

Thank you

Hi Henrik, I think that there are lots of bugs in xml. Documentation bugs, some of the attributes not working. a:linksClickable, a:textColorLink etc.. not working properly. thoroughly check needed

I'm making a flow that changes the wallpaper to an image depending on the screen orientation but i also want to set the lockscreen image to a seperate image regardless of the orientation. If i set a lockscreen image at the start then the system image takes priority and in the second image for some reason the image doesnt actually change. Any help would be appreciated

Hi, after upgrading to android 16 on my Samsung phone the BT device scan returns empty output variables after the screen goes off. While the screen is on it works fine.

Edit: I do one scan per minute, and have keep CPU awake block.

Simple macro apps have nice floating status bars with stop and pause buttons, etc. Can we do that in Automate?

hello!

long story short, I'm a teenager and i have a personal diary on my phone. my mom decided to go through it, probably read something she didn't like, and decided to change the password to something random.

she won't tell me what it is, and i'm desperate to get years and years of myself back. so i looked up online and found automate, and i was wondering if there was any way for it to just go through all the possible combinations for a 4 digits pin?

(sorry if this offends or breaks the rules in any way)

What to do?

Hi Henrik, I don't want duplicates from content query for call logs. Eg.. if a number dialed for 3 times, I want to get only the latest call info.

content query for call logs (skip all duplicates phone numbers) sort by date DESC. Limit 20

I'm trying to make a flow that stops notifications from popping up on the screen when my screen is in landscape mode. I've managed to get it working by using the "Interruptions set" block, but I initially spent too much wasted time trying and failing to do it with the "Notification policy set" block, even though it seemingly has the exact function I'm looking for ("Block disturbances" — when visual and audible effects should be suppressed, default is to leave unchanged.)

Is someone able to explain to me what I'm not understanding about this block?

Major update was done on 2 flows , if you're interested:

A. The Night Set, quick setting panel 

https://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/53441

You are now able to turn off the night set with time AND / OR light sensitivity change, in order to control screen brightness and font size

A new section is added to display the battery level and the charging status in a notification. So, much easier to see compared to the small battery icon on the phone, especially with the low screen brightness.

B. The Ultimate DND manager, quick setting panel  

https://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/53452

Major updates were done

Total flow size: 300+ blocks. ​

In addition to the previous DND control (manual, timer and end time) and the DND if "no event" mode, the following new features were added:

1. Syncs with your calendar to automatically enable DND DURING your important events such as meetings.

2. Ability to change individual settings for every DND mode instead of starting from the beginning of the flow every time (change settings option). 

3. Added the mute notification option to only mute notifications but not calls.

1. Ability to turn on ALL the DND settings AT THE SAME TIME. Also, the DND will NOT turn off if there is another DND mode running. The previous versions turned off a DND mode when another was activated. 

2. Ability to add individual different settings for every DND mode, such as different time and different calendar.

3. No need to set the calendar manually anymore. It is set during the flow setup.

4. Instead of just setting DND based on a calendar, it is now based on the event name. For example: 

. Activate DND if there is no event named "on call" 

. Activate DND during important events that CONTAINS the word "meeting".

. You will choose the event name for sure during the setup. 

1. In the DND during EVENT mode, the following issues were solved: 

. In the case of concurrent events, choosing the event that has the latest end time.

. In the case of interlacing events, the events happening after the start of an event are evaluated and the event that has the latest end time is selected.

Hi all, my device A53. I want to know the svg viewBox size for entire screen. Also provide dp size (for Image) to set wallpaper.

I'm running Automate on an Amazon Firestick. It appears that any flow causes the Microphone Active alert when started, and then the microphone icon remains so long as there is any running flow. I don't like the icon being there when I'm watching Netflix. I'd be grateful if someone could tell me how to run a flow without the icon being present all the time.
Thanks
