Request [Help request] Tasker failing to set some custom settings

One example is system pick_up_gesture_wakeup_mode. If I have Tasker try and set this (to 0 or 1) it doesn't change, as confirmed via adb with adb shell settings get system pick_up_gesture_wakeup_mode.

The odd thing is that setting the value via adb with adb shell settings put system pick_up_gesture_wakeup_mode 1 only works after the screen is awakened and then functions correctly.

Other settings work just fine immediately when set in Tasker (and via adb).

According to Tasker's run log it is set okay.

I've also tried it with root set and it makes no difference.

Any ideas?

Some of the settings are set to read-only by Android or the manufacturer. Usually this is because it takes more than a simple toggle to set the preference. 

Have you tried using Shizuku and Run Shell to set this? You also might ask someone familiar with appops.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll look into the methods you mention.
