How to simulate screen tap with tasker - Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps

Hey everyone. I'm still pretty new to Tasker. I've only been actively using it for about 2-3 weeks. I think I've got a pretty good handle on it, but there's something I can't seem to figure out how to do. I know that by default, Android doesn't allow any app to modify another's notification in the pull-down menu but if I could get take to simulate a tap in the upper right corner where that button is to clear all notifications, wouldn't that do the trick? How so do you get take to do that? I read the was a shell command that you could run that was basically "input tap x-coords y-coords". Tried that but it didn't work. Any ideas?

maybe under the script---> Run Shell?

That's where I'm trying to run it from. It doesn't work for me.

run shell -> input tap x y
x y are the coordinates (activate them to show on screen in developer menu in settings)
is that what you've tried?

Yeah. And it didn't do anything. I even tried different coordinates thinking that maybe I was trying to use coordinated that were too close to the border or something

Just started using tasker today and am curious, what are you trying to clear notifications for?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I have a different idea, for whatsapp for example. While i press the vol- buttom , press the mic in whatsapp, so i can use the push to talk function with a real buttom, its difficult to do ? SORRY for my english, plz sorry

Welcome to Tasker. As far as what I'm trying to have done with it and my notifications, read the original post. It explains what my goals are
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4

Tried and tested, run shell -> input tap x y -> ensure use root is ticked, I have been using multiple tasks with this exact command
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4

Finally figured it out. It was all in the details. I didn't use root and I also had the word 'Input' with a capital 'I' instead of lower case. I guess it has to be all lower case

[Q] Remap Menu Key to Recents

Anyone have a good way to do this? I found the files in the /system/usr/ folder but I'm not exactly sure what to edit...
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Sorry to bump my own post, but I figured out how to remap APP_SWITCH to MENU, but I can't seem to get the 3 dot overflow menu button to show up in apps (like chrome), or map google now/search to long press home or long press menu. If anyone has any insight on this I'd greatly appreciate it.
While this isn't exactly what you want, I think you should be able to enable the navigation bar to give you the virtual home/recent/back buttons and trigger the virtual menu button. I don't have this phone, but it should work to just open up the build.prop and add the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (requires root obviously) and reboot. I've only done this on a galaxy s cm so it may go badly with a stock rooted... try at your own risk. If you do try, please respond (and post a screenshot ) as I'm curious and considering this phone.
I tried adding that line (again) but no luck...

It looks like (from the screenshot) that you have it =1, not 0. You want it to =0 because it's like saying false, there are no hard keys so android should add the navigation bar. Try changing it to =0, and maybe use a text editor like the one in root browser (free) and reboot. Let me know what happens
Wow you're right... stupid mistake on my part haha, I'll get right back to you after I try it again.
EDIT: Yup that did the trick. Not quite what I was looking for but cool anyways. Thanks!
Now is there anyway to remove the 3 dot overflow bar since my menu key still works lol

Can you post a screenshot? I'm not sure which you mean (3 dot menu or nav bar). Enabling the nav bar is just an easy way to get both a multitask button and the virtual menu button in an app's action bar. I'm not sure about just getting the action bar menu button, but if you don't figure it out it is a setting in cm10/10.1
Its not a big deal since I think it only applies in the settings menu, but yeah I would love to have cm 10 haha
Edit: Sorry about the ridiculous image size...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have to mess with the systemui.apk to edit any of the long presses

Sorry to double post again, but does anyone know if we're able to theme the softkeys on this phone using similar methods as the galaxy nexus?

These options are grouped into one, so if you see any of these icons, long press them and you should be able to select the HW to text feature.

Open up a Note template (not Memo as others have said) and long press on this box (there may be another picture in that button but long press the button in that location). This should open up a menu andyou choose the icon that with the letter T in the left bottom corner of a box.

[Q] All apps in multitasking window issue

I've been having a strange issue with the multitasking window. I hit the "edit" button to add apps that I want to multitask, but when I drag an app into the drawer it magically switches to a different app. It doesn't seem to have any kind of pattern either. It will just switch to any random app. Anyone else had this problem yet?
This appears to be a common issue with many of the multi-window mods.
I recommend the multi-window module for the Xposed framework as it corrects this problem.
It can be found here:

You need to clear data for com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService.
Then it will be fine.

Multi Window

Hey guys. Just thought I'd see what everyone uses their multi app Windows for. I think it's a great idea but I can never think of 2 apps I'd use at the same time.
I turned mine off because i dont like the tab thats on the side of the phone. Texting and browsing is one good use for it. Easy to copy and paste links between the two. Although its pretty easy to swap between the two using the home key too.

I usually use mines for copying information into a notepad / memo.
YouTube and a browser bc YT stops when its in the background and with a mod'd YouTube apk, I can listen with the screen turned off
I haven't used it once, the phone switches windows so fast

Student GMail -> calendar. I get notified of school meetings and stuff all the time. Multiwindow makes it very easy to copy over the information into my Google calendar.
But that's really my only use for it. It is nice for this purpose, but I could live without.
Copying links/addresses or other information to a text is a good use, as is from any app to a note taking app.

On TW if you hold the back softkey button while multi-window is enabled it hides the bar until you want it again. Simply hold the back button once more for it to show. =)

I have to agree, aside from the cool factor of actually being able to do it, I have not found a practical use for it.
I use it when copy/pasting login credentials from LastPass.

Cool thanks guys
I have used it a couple of times to text while I watch a movie or video.
Before I had the phone, I thought I would use the multi-window a lot and was excited about it.
Tried using it a few times and it just wasn't clicking for me.
I think if I could incorporate my apps with it or if it were more intuitive, maybe I would use it. I don't know.
As of now I have it disabled.
I would like a better app switcher, though. Something like Zephyr for the jailbroken iphone.
