    For intent Action, add/replace Target:Activity's "startActivity()" with "startActivityForResult()"

    When creating an intent targeting "Activity," I assume MD uses the code startActivity(). Could this be replaced with startActivityForResult() (documentation) without problem? If outright replacing it would cause issues in some cases, could an additional Target be added (or maybe a checkbox...

    [Solved] How to construct intent to connect VPN?

    Tryin to construct an intent to connect to my default vpn profile in the OpenVPN for Android app. The app gives the following instructions (formatted for ADB but containing all the relevant intent info regardless): I have interpreted this to make the following intent in MD, which I suspect...

    Notification Interaction not pressing button in notification of other app [QKSMS]

    QKSMS is a messaging app, so its push notification have configurable buttons (kind of like MD does!). One of the buttons is "Mark read" which predictably marks the relevant SMS message as read in the app. I'm trying to make a macro that programatically presses QKSMS's "Mark read" notification...

    Screen Content as Constraint (and Logic Condition)

    Screen Content is an awesome trigger, thanks so much for implementing it! Could it also be included as a Constraint and as a Condition for If/Then, Loops, AND/OR/XOR, etc? (In case the use-case isn't immediately obvious, it would work as a Condition to say, "If content 'XYZ' is on the screen...

    Parse file metadata

    If this is already possible, please let me know how! It would be nice to be able to parse the metadata of files, e.g. extracting the album title from an audio file. I believe Tasker can do this but I have no idea how. Searching online, the only solutions I've found are to use something like...

    GrapheneOS compatibility (re: scripts)?

    GrapheneOS has opted to restrict users' ability to control their own devices by preventing apps from running some ADB/shell scripts. As a result, apps like Shizuku do not work. Does anyone know which (if any) of Macrodroid's actions are limited by this feature? Does MD Helper provide any means...

    Is it possible to force-update light sensor?

    @MacroDroidDev is it possible, with a shell script or (ideally) an option in the "Light Sensor" constraint, to force the Light Sensor to update? My Pixel 3 seems not to update the light sensor data unless there is a large change in brightness (>50 lx*), which makes fine-grained control...

    Variable-defined time trigger

    It would be great to have (and should be simple to implement) a Trigger that is defined by a variable value in UTC. In other words, if the user creates an integer variable and gives it a value of "1642680000", and creates a trigger defined by that variable, then that trigger will fire at noon...

    [Bug] Set Brightness to 0 no longer works on Android 12 (+ Settings workaround)

    When I use the Brightness action and set it to 0%, the brightness doesn't actually decrease to its mimimum value. Instead it decreases to what looks like about 15%. None of the alternate modes in the Brightness action make a difference. The current workaround is to use the System Settings...

    Integrate Android 12 "Extra Dim" setting into Dim Screen action

    Android 12 introduces a native quick setting tile to dim the screen by a certain set amount. It would be great to have an option, when configuring the Dim Screen action, to select whether to use Android 12's native dimmer versus Macrodroid's dimmer overlay.
