Automagic Forum

This forum is used to give interested users access to the next version of Automagic currently in development.
The early access version is only lightly tested and might still contain serious bugs. The quality of EAP versions can at times be even way below usual beta standards.

Use at your own risk!
Ensure to create a backup before you install an EAP version.

Important:

• The EAP version will replace the Google Play version of Automagic on your device. Flows opened, saved and created with the EAP version will usually not be compatible with old versions of Automagic so it is highly recommended to create a backup of your flows, widgets and variables before you start using the EAP version (create a backup of the folder /<sdcard>/Automagic)
• Unknown sources needs to be enabled in the settings of Android to install the EAP version.
• Please report bugs and problems found in the EAP version in the EAP forum.
• Don't share flows created using the EAP version in the regular flow sharing area since users of the released Automagic version will not be able to use the new triggers, conditions and actions. Feel free to share flows in the EAP forum.
• The EAP version only works for about 4 weeks. Please install a new EAP version when the old one expires or install the released version available in Google Play.

What's uses of "set system setting" action?
I can change "lock screen owner info" but when change "Bluetooth on" from 0 to 1 , don't turn on blutooth.

Hi,

The help page of the action contains some usage examples. Some settings have to be switched using special APIs and don't take effect when done to the system settings only (also mentioned in the help page).
You can use it mainly to change manufacturer specific settings like driving mode, power saving mode, blocking mode and a lot of related settings on Samsung specific ROMs.

Martin

Just wanted to chime in and say that the basic authentication and timeout options in the HTTP Request work perfectly! Combining this with being able to disable the SSL certificate verification that you added in the last release now means I no longer need to put the cURL binary on my rooted phone. You are awesome!

Hi,

Updated the EAP version:

• new trigger Pressure Sensor
• new condition Pressure Sensor
• new action Set Mobile Network Mode (2G/3G) (modified ROMs only) *
• added configurable timeout to action Init Variables Device Orientation
• fixed some reported problems and crashes

Download: Automagic.apk

This version is mostly feature complete for the next Google Play release, so the next EAP versions will contain bugfixes only.

When the new 1.19.0 release version appears on the play store will the update system install it automatically over an existing EAP version or is that something that must be done manually?

The EAP version works completely independent from Google Play so you will not get a notification.
I will also post it in this thread when the new version becomes available in Google Play.

Updated the EAP version:

• fixed some bugs (Google Drive actions, pressure trigger, irritating accessibility service warning) and crashes (Assist function on MIUI Meizu MX2, script copy/paste on Android 4.1+)

Download: Automagic.apk

Updated the EAP version (hopefully the last update before releasing on Google Play):

• condition WiFi Tethering State should now also work on Android 2.3
• attempt to fix crash on Samsung Galaxy Note when script function sendKey is selected
• fixed some issues in the Google Drive actions
