The Tasker which is one really strong Android application which allows one to personalize the way one’s mobile works and so does the automated jobs. Sadly this has little of a curve of learning. Nonetheless we will give you the way to go about it and the way to switch on the flashlight even during the procedure.

The Tasker is one real good device for producing “tasks,” which are actually a long list of guidelines that are performed in respect to some particular environments or in lieu of some occasions. This is made available to you through the known Android Market, though it will prove to be a lot reasonable in case one buys straight through its site. This comes with a seven days trail package wherein you can check your latest notifications and the best part is that after buying it one can also try it on various tools.

Well this article is written with the main objective of   guiding you through the course of creating one profile, setting up any subject and ultimately creating a sole task. In case your cellphone possess an LED camera you may try using the flashlight or the reading lamp for reading through the guidelines. The moment you are using the homescreen and switch on your LED camera by tilting the phone so much so that it faces down through activating its proximity sensor), doing so will automatically switch off the camera he moment you bring the screen to its original position.

After installing the Tasker to your phone tap on the tasker icon or folder and begin the launching procedure.  You will come across a wide range of default profiles. Basically the each profile is established in a way to possess particular and specified frameworks, like for instance the X application is when performing, on X or Y GPS coordinates, else the moment where in Y tab tapped. The moment where those circumstances meet, the relative tasks are performed. This way one would be able to even organize the tasks involving to exit, and all the stuff is completed once the conditions are eliminated.

•  You will have to tap “New” for creating a fresh Profile. So let us name the profile for convenience like for instance “Upside Down LED.”
• Now you can view the list that will appear. From here one may pick up one suitable framework or subject.
• Now move further and press the “State” option and you will again come across another list giving classifications differentiating the hardware & software attributes in the phone of yours.
• After this press on the “Proximity Sensor” and get your hold onto the choices available.
• Usual conduct means that one sole task works at the time where proximity sensors are activated which is when there is a thing before it. Now you can run the task only when something’s NOT triggering it but to our benefit, lets uncheck the invert box. Press on the Done option. After this you would be able to view Task Selection pane appearing.
• From this place one can pick various Tasks that you have made. But your task would be empty hence press on the “New Task.”
• Now keep a name for your task. Like in my case I picked “Led On/off” hence forth in case I refer to the same task next time I would know what the task is all about and it’s relative. Now press OK.
• After this you would come across Task Edit pane, from where you will be able to make list of activities you need to perform for a specific task. Now tap plus option.
• From this place you could chose for action class. Clean the outcomes down of home screen, by settings which could be switched else some functions can be performed. We all will not concentrate on them at this time so simply press the “3rd Party” and we are done.
• With an inbuilt LED lighting system, TeslaLED, you can connect tasker with other market apps.
• Now switch choices from here. Since we are looking for the Toggling nature, hence pick form the series of choices and press on the “Done”. After that press “Done” one more time by which you can go back to your Profile screen.
• After this let us better the nature even further. As this could annoy some people who have their LED camera while speaking on cellphone. Now tap Profile screen, and keep pressing the subject or context underneath the present set profile, after which one menu option will appear.
• At this place, all of us will be able to make addition to the already existing frameworks. Here let us pick “Application.” Here one needs to maintain one’s cool as this can be time taking as it involves loading of all the applications.
• From this place one gets several apps to choose from which means that the moment when it is running, it shall let the changing nature to appear. If you ask me I make use of the Launcher Pro, this is always what I go with. One could be in the default launcher’s area, and may be inclined towards picking Home or Motorola Home, else could be some other named default that his or her cellphone is. On the other hand you could press on “Not” key & transform it such that it doesn’t let swapping task at the time of a particular application, though it lets it occur at rest of the moments.
• Well that is all but just ensure on thing which is ensuring  the button  of “On” to be green which is at the placed at the down edge in the home screen, & also that your profile displays marked tick of green colour. In case it shows in red circle along with a “/”, this refers the deactivated profile.
• Otherwise, one can switch that so that one’s camera button toggles the LED camera in its place.

For the purpose of doing the same just ensure that one has 2 subjects or frameworks. Frist subject ideally needs be one Event. Look out beneath the Hardware & pick “Button: Camera.” Now the second context comes as Application after this pick “Not” & pick every application which uses the option camera as well in any way, this could be a  “Camera,” “Camcorder,” “Vignette,” and so on. Following this one can avoid unnecessary hassles. After this anytime one’s cellphone gets unlocked and to switch on and off the LED camera one only has to tap the camera button.

The button events & proximity sensor updates must be gone through at the time when the cellphone is unlocked, but some of the tasks as the swapping WiFi & starting one application could appear as timely programs. Never forget that the re-assigning of phone camera button can negate the default nature at the rime where task is being performed, though it works like usual then.

The Widgets performs fine though it is always better when one also has a one separate tab/button for hardware for switching on the flashlight.
