I am trying to dynamically replace /etc/hosts with my custom hosts file. (AdAway is working perfectly on my phone but I need to modify my hosts dynamically using Automagic, which has Root functions enabled) Using Execute Root Command, these are what I have tried and the result: mv /etc/hosts /etc/ho...

I with that was the defa...

I have a Task to turn on Auto Rotate when I open certain apps. But when I am on bed, I want to be able to pull down notification and turn auto-rotate off. The problem is, pulling down notification would trigger App Task Ended and closing the notification would re-trigger App Task Started - thus maki...

This would be so great! I really missed this feature since I switched from Tasker

This is perfect Desmanto thanks a lot for your help!
