I know my app does it. And I know my phone isn't rooted. That's all I know.

Okay--I wasn't hallucinating that, or if I am, it's a shared vision: [link] -- apparently it is workable in some scenarios where it shouldn't be? And therefore might stop working at any time?

Hmm. Weird.

If I had some PDF files, would someone be able to convert them to the CMYK color space for me? In particular, I’m worried about:

Q. What if I want to create a solid black area?

A. When you want an area of solid black within a document, 100% black (K) will not result in a solid, saturated black. You should use rich black, which is made by mixing other colors of ink with black ink to produce a much darker, deeper black on press than can be achieved by using black ink alone. To create rich black on pieces printed by PsPrint, your CMYK calibration values must be 50% Cyan (C), 40% Magenta (M), 40% Yellow (Y), and 100% Black (K).

I have no idea how to do that, and I don’t have the right software anyway.

The key thing you want for GV use is the Event "Notification", with Owner Application set to Voice. Then you can make the Title some key word with wildcard capabilities (I use *tasker announce* for the find-my-phone task and *tasker location* for the silent GPS action). As long as you have Accessibility Options turned on for Tasker (which it should prompt you to enable when you need to), that should trigger whenever you get a GV text with the given text in it. I'm pretty sure it doesn't require root.

Actually pretty straightforward as long as you get GV notifications reliably.

The background e-mail was much trickier. I had to use this: [link]

How are you tracking "twice in ten minutes"?

Two profiles. One called "Set Call Variables" just sets two variable called "%LASTCALLTIME" and "%LASTNUMBER" (Tasker keeps these as system variables, I just want to hold onto them past the next call, so I put them in my own variables.)

The second profile called "Emergency Call" has two contexts. One is "Phone Ringing" with %LASTNUMBER as the caller. The other is "Variable Value" checking that %CTIME (system variable for most recent call time) is less than %LASTCALLTIME+10. Tasker deals with the time math automatically, near as I can tell. I haven't tested it extensively, but it seems to work with my limited two-check sample.

Tom, could you use them as jpg files?

No, that would make the text all pixelated.

Right. I could open them in photoshop, edit the color, and resave them as PDFs, but I'm not sure if it would work or not. I think it would still fubar the text. I'd save them high-res, though.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't require root.

It's the GPS I was saying needed root, not anything to do with Google Voice.

One called "Set Call Variables" just sets two variable called "%LASTCALLTIME" and "%LASTNUMBER"

So it's not just "twice in ten", it's "twice successively in ten"?

Yes. If somebody else tries to call me, then it gets FUBARed. A fair point, as that might be a problem in an emergency. Hmm.

To do better, I'd have to keep an array of the last time each person called me, then do a lookup on the array to get the last time called... that might not be viable.

ETA: I think I could do it, actually, with the Array Push and Array Pop commands. But I don't think it's worth it. My current system should catch it.
