Tasker and Locale Execute Plugin root command not working in 2.3.5 I just rooted my phone and have been trying to create a task in Tasker with the Locale Execute Plugin to control the LED lights for different things.

Phone Type: HTC Evo 4G
Android Version: 2.3.5
ROM: AlterROM 0.0.4.1-RC1

I have followed instructions on every website I could think of except here so far and none of them work. Is there a bug in this version or something not allowing root commands from running?

Here's the command I'm trying to execute with Tasker &amp; Locale Execute Plugin:

@! echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/leds/wimax/brightness

(commands from here)

If I use a Terminal IDE to do the following:

$ su
# echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/leds/wimax/brightness


It works, but no matter what I do in Tasker, it never asks me to grant it root access.

Any ideas?
The plugin you're using is deprecated; Tasker now has built-in support for shell commands (under Misc->Run Shell). You can use root with this also.

EDIT: It's too bad that didn't work for you :( The last option I can think of is using Secure Settings Plugin. This can run shell commands too, and has the option of returning STDOUT and STDERR to Tasker as well. Good luck!

Also make sure that in your Superuser app you've set it to ask for permissions (or even automatically grant it - turn that on, run Tasker for it to get su permissions, then set it back to "ask").
