    Sorry, but that doesn't actually tell me what the error is. Can you please enable the "Continue Task on Error" option in the action that's giving you the error and on the next step use a flash action with the text %errmsg?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry i missed that part somehow.
    Thx for all your apps. I am a premium user, and also try out a lot of Beta apps.
    But still make a lot of mistakes :)
    Thx and keep up the hard work!

    I am having an issue getting the "adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" command to work when in Minimal ADB and Fastboot. I really need some help on this. I am getting the error message on my Nexus 6P running Pure Nexus 7.0 ROM when I try to use this. I followed your instructions on how to grant permission.

    Just to be sure: did you type the command manually or did you copy-paste it directly?

    I know I'm being kinda of a pain, but could you please copy-paste it directly? Sometimes we just miss something tiny when manually typing things out... Sorry about that.

    You are not being a pain. In fact, I just tried copying and pasting and IT WORKED!!! I have no idea why it didn't after meticulously typing it over and over, but I am all set now. Thank you for not getting frustrated with me. Keep up the great dev work. I will be buying this full version for sure!

    Glad you finally got it :)

    No problem. That's why I NEVER manually write stuff like this these days. This has happened to me too many times already. :p

    I have been using autotools for some time now and I cannot solve this.

    The procedure as described works perfectly on my OnePlus T3 for Google Maps. Also for some other navigation apps.
    When I drive my care I like to use Waze for navigation. I'm have some troubles to activate my GPS when starting Waze.

    The setup is identical as described in "Turn GPS on when in Google Maps, turn it off otherwise (No Root!)"
    The selected Apps are Maps and Waze. When starting Maps the GPS will turn on, when starting Waze the location services will not switch from off to on.

    Anybody any suggestions?
