This script will detect when someone enters the wrong unlock code or swipes the wrong pattern and sends a picture to an E-Mail address in the background, silently.
For some reason it works better with long patterns and even better with long pin codes. I don't know why. If you know it, let me know :)
Let's start, please get:
- Tasker
- Secure Settings (To setup a profile in Tasker which detects wrong unlock codes)
- Python for Android (To run python code)
- SL4A (To run the python script from Tasker)
- The python script "SendEmailA.py" from the Tasker Wiki. (Send an E-Mails silently)
- GoogleMail address
Open the Python for Android application, make sure it is not Python3. Press install button to install the Python runtime environment.
Open SL4A and run the "hello_world.py" script by tapping on it and selecting the leftmost terminal icon. Congratulations, you successfully installed Python and can run Python scripts from Tasker!
Here is my "SendEmailA.py" script. It has a small modification to the original file which is marked in red.

Save this file to your internal SDCard in the SL4A scripts folder (f.e. SDCard\SL4A\Scripts).
The preparation is done, lets go to Tasker. Create a new profile name it "Security Glitch" or something less obvious. Goto State -> Plugin -> Secure Settings. Click on the Edit field near configuration and select the condition "Failed Login Attempts". Type in a low number, like two. Enable "Device Admin". Read and accept the dialog. Click on save in the lower left corner. Hit the back button and create a new Task, name it "Cheeeese" or similar.
Here is my Cheeeese task:

Please make sure the folder "/sdcard/DCIM/Tasker/" exists and you have the right information filled in in the
purple fields. You can put a file named
.nomedia into the DCIM/Tasker/ folder to make sure, it is not displayed in the gallery.
If you don't know how to setup a specific action, please google it. Line A16 is very important. To create this line goto Script -> RunSL4A Script -> in the name field select the "SendEmailA.py" file. Don't check the Terminal field, but fill in the Pass Variable field with
%EMAIL_USER,%mailp,%EMAIL_TO,%EMAIL_ATTACH. The order is important. Check continue task after error.
You can delete the
bright blue lines after running the Task once successfully. Please note, that your Google Mail password is stored as a global variable in Tasker Base64 encoded - but it is not a safe encryption! If you have suggestions on how to store the password encrypted n Tasker, please tell me!
Run the task a few time to check if your device vibrates twice (short vibrate at the beginning and a long vibrate at the end. Check your myemailtosendto@domain.com mails, don't forget to look into the spam folder. If you received a picture exit Tasker, lock your device, count to ten and check by entering the wrong unlock code/pattern a few time. Maybe you can make the profile run with a higher priority, not necessary. If everything went well and you received the beautiful pictures of yourself delete the
bright blue lines.
Uninformatively there is an android limitation which will show the SL4A icon for a second in the notification bar when the email is send... I tried to make python run without SL4A, but was not successful yet. A workaround could be to make the icon transparent...
I wrote this down pretty fast, please forgive me if something is unclear. I will refresh this post soon.
