Tasker application

[usd1337]

I've been using tasker for two days and already made 5 fully functional profiles with help of Google which works as I want.

Although I have one problem.
I made a profile so when you select apps, and try to go on them whilst the profile is on, you'll be redirected to home.
Now I don't want to manually activate and deactivate the profile because it's not too handy so I was wondering how I could make this:
Let's say I tap the back button three times, and the tasker profile is toggled.
So if it's not on, I tap the back button three times, that tasker profile will be toggled to ON and a flash message saying: Profile is now on or off depending on the toggle I put.
any ideas?

You can not directly control the buttons on an un-root-ed device.

You could have a screen icon that you tapped to do the same thing.

How could I make that? That'd work I assume

BBB will beep when the display is turned on.
AAA will toggle BBB on and off

Tasker can respond to an event of king press on " search" button. See if it works for any of your buttons.

Tasker Shakes and gestures are quick ways of initiating tasks. Combine them with screen on do they don't use power monitoring when screen off.

Personally, I use swipepad..amazing for quick easy launch of almost anything (including tasker tasks) from almost anywhere. Free, easy, intuitive...can't say enough good things about it.
