Killed / terminate app immediately restarts

Post by Viking84 » 11 May 2016 05:29

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a rather simple flow that sets the brightness to maximum when my GPS-Bike-Navigation app (Bike Citizens) is running.

Since I'm using LUX Auto Brightness - which as far as I'm aware can't be triggered through Automagic - I need to terminate LUX first, so that the system brightness settings apply.

Everything works fine apart from the fact that LUX restarts 2 seconds after being killed / terminated and takes over the brightness control again, rendering the flow useless...

Here is a screenshot of my flow for quick referencing (tried KILL, TERM and the 'Kill App' action unsuccessfully): http://m.imgur.com/AlvaYKJ

I'm using CM 13 (6.0.1) on a OnePlus One if that matters.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance!

Is your phone rooted?

If so, you could try Execute root command : am force-stop com.vito.lux, although I don't know whether it would prevent it from restarting automatically.

Lux can be controlled with Automagic. Try action Plugin (Experimental).

Thanks Murtuma, I hadn't checked the experimental settings - works like a charm!
