Agreed...I tried a few different launchers and this is the only one that I'm having a hard time switching away from on my N1. Have to say, Microsoft/Danger is really on to something with the W7 UI even if I've never seen a real W7 phone.

I think Metro UI Pro used to be a better choice for cloning WP7 :). Works perfectly smooth, way better than this Launcher 7, update everyday but too bad now he abandoned Metro UI :(.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FFU5y:
Hi,

I've recently been paying some attention to privacy-related applications which have been appearing: things like Permission Denied (com.stericson.permissions), Privacy Blocker (com.xeudoxus.privacy.blocker), DroidWall (com.googlecode.droidwall.free) and Connection Tracker (com.borgshell.connectiontrackerfree - I've only just looked at this one).

Each of these applications provides some really good features. Permission Denied is good for blocking certain permissions (though not selecting which permissions at run-time). Privacy Blocker does a great job of identifying the specific operations being attempted within a permission (e.g. getLine1Number etc.) and is pretty good at patching on the phone to provide fake/fixed data. DroidWall is excellent (and I think for most people, entirely sufficient actually, although WhisperMonitor may improve on it). Connection Tracker - I really don't know.

However, each of these have their limitations. Permission Denied isn't very granular with its permissions (although as granular as the Android security model on which it operates). Privacy Blocker is susceptible to code using reflection (I believe) to hide some API calls, as well as requiring the target apps be patched before being run. DroidWall - well, like I said, it's fine.

I was imagining that one way of possibly overcoming some of these limitations would be to intercept API calls made by applications, and then (a) prompt the user as to whether they wanted to allow them and (b) allow the user to choose to always allow, and (c) allow the user to return false/static data and pretend to the calling application that the API call ran fine, etc. With integration with a centralised system it would also be potentially possible to allow a list of API calls used by a program to be generated which would be impervious to call hiding techniques because evenually the API call must be made, no matter how circuitously the call may be constructed.

The question at the heart of this, of course, is this: Does anyone know if API calls in Android can be intercepted without actually having to make a lot of modifications to the guts of Android itself. Chances are I'll probably poke around and have a look myself, but I'm very new to Android development and figured that there may be a good reason no-one has built an application to do specifically this yet and I'd rather find out before I spend a few hundred hours bashing my head against walls someone else has already pounded on.

(Naturally, not all API calls would necessarily be intercepted for all users. If this were to be built into an application, then probably by default only privacy-related calls would be trapped. An approach similar to Privacy Blocker of using baksmali and parsing to identify easily-findable API calls would also allow users to choose which permissions to allow in advance.)

Cheers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mcduck2002:
first: I can't add links here since I'm new user, so I'll give you only keywords

I believe that you are looking for the project pffmod

I think the project TaintDroid is the one that you look for run time analysis

If you know some kernel development, I would like to cooperate with you to build a ROM that can intercept applications using API, I also want to create something like Privacy Blocker (static analysis) but instead of patching the application the ROM will give a fake answer or exception or null value or what ever based on rules in a table.

What do you say?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mcduck2002:
There is also the MockDroid project

This project actually does something like pffmod

I can't check either pffmod or MockDroid since I have Samsung Galaxy.

I'll look into it deeply later on.

I found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Lexar-16GB-Micr...gital_Camera_Memory_Cards&hash=item3cb52e112b

Im not sure if i should buy this , i am sure that its not a retail one(class 6 should be under 16 gb and the micro sd logo misses some details) , but does it make a big diference?

I want to know couse with the same money i can buy a retail 8gb class 6 trascend with lifetime waranty from a good and well known shop, big dilema couse i need this extra space.

So any opinions on this are really welcome.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Poulsen8r:
Get a good brand from a good shop. I bought a class 2 sandisk card over 2 years ago, it's still going strong and I get at least 8MB (Yes MB) per second writes to it. I paid about $50 for it at the time (8GB) but I think it's worth it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
Don't buy it, its most likely counterfeit.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flipmodegr:
Whats the negative think if it will be a counterfeit?shorter life cyrcle?less space?chance for data corruption?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] simplistian:
Just FYI. This may not be a counterfeit. From the ebay link you provided it is shipped from Hong Kong, and this little thing is selling at around US$25 without the reader and adapter.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
Less space, will appear 32 GB, can copy 32 GB to it (or so it looks), but after say 2 or 4GB all the data just becomes corrupt.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cephalus:
Get a copy of H2TestW or F3 (depending on your computer's operating system) - follow the links from here. Each of these utilities will not only confirm if the memory cards are genuine (i.e., as-stated capacity), but will also offer diagnostic information on the actual make-up of the card (driver, speed, etc.).

Then let us know your results - if it turns out to be genuine, I'm sure there'll be a few more people wanting to buy the same type.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] papatsonis:
Ok, got it today, almost filled it (left 39mb :P) , all content played fine, so i suppose this one seller is trusted

edit : the SD works ok.. but.. is actually slower (a lot...) than my previous Transcend Class6... Sequencial Read: ~18.5mb/s Write: ~12mb/s,
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
those are the speeds of the transcend class 6 or the tdk one? also what are the speeds of the other card?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] papatsonis:
the Transcend one has ~19read, ~18 write (crystaldiskmark), the tdk one has the 12mb write. Finaly i decided to keep the sd (i was ready to sell it..) as after i formatted it with Sd formatter, the card the phone's performance with this sd "magically"? improved... to acceptable levels (b4 it was so slow in gallery for example, that could drive you nuts:p)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flipmodegr:
i think ill go with that http://cgi.ebay.com/16GB-Micro-SD-H..._Camcorder_Speicherkarten&hash=item336802f957 as the seller gives 2 years waranty and lifetime waranty from traxdata plus he haves 100% positive feedback
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flipmodegr:
i just tryed sd formater couse i was experiancing similar problems in gallery and aplications(mainly games),i had my card formated from phone,with sd formater i get same speeds in crystal disk mark but i hope i ll see an improvement in phone,but shouldnt the phone format be the best for the phone use?
[General Topics] RichardUK:
I dropped my zt-18-0 7" device and the touch screen part broke. The display is fine and the tablet still works, just no touch screen. I found that the touch screen packs for the Eee PC are a close match, uses the four wire type. But it's just a littl too big (5mm out). So before I get one of these does any one know where I can get the correct touch screen for the device????
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Quagmire2011:
I have just got a used x10 mini off ebay, network unlocked.

I then proceeded to update it from 1.6 to 2.1 using the sony software, then rooted it with superoneclick.

What I am looking at doing is trying to get Copilot Live installed on the phone, so I can use satnav without the data charges (I'm on PAYG)

The problem is, that CoPilot Live and the map packs are going to be large in size, and my internal memory is tiny :(

I do have a 2Gb micro sd card for it, but I don't think you can install apps directly to it on 2.1 (I can't see sony ever updating the x10 mini ever again tbh)

Ok, my question is, following the 'apps 2 sd' guide on phones on 2.1 and below (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804574), if I did this, would I be able to install Copilot Live and it's map packs directly to the 2Gb sd card?

Cheers
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phroenix:
I'm pretty sure copilot saves maps to your sd anyway so that shouldnt be a problem

As for that method for apps2sd I don't know because I haven't done it
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Quagmire2011:
That would be ideal as I'm sure the actual Copliot Live app would fit on my internal memory, and I really do bot want to mess around partioning sd cards etc just to get apps 2 sd to work.

Does anyone with Coplitot Live installed confirm this?

Cheers
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Sp4rrow:
100% positive. It's no way that navigation could install data on internal memory. Apk installs @internal memory. Downloaded data go to sd.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Quagmire2011:
Okay, installed apk to sd card, installed with astro.

Copilot then downloaded the maps and voice I chose straight to the sd card using wifi.

But, now I have a bit of a strange problem. When I choose to enter a destination, it opens an onscreen keyboard like usual, and if I try and type 'Lane', it does 'jkl a mn de'.

Basically, it is not cycling through the letters properly, printing a letter every time I touch the screen (hope that makes sense :()

Does anyone know how to remedy this, kinda renders Copilot useless if I can't write in proper destinations!

Cheers
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Quagmire2011:
EDIT: Seems they have fixed the problem in the latest CoPilot Live version. Must have been a weird SE 2.1 keyboard bug.

Will wait till a newer version of CoPilot appears on the bay then...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ickata:
I had the same problem with copilot and the default keyboard. I downloaded Anysoftkeyboard free from the market. Its a software qwerty keyboard. I'm pretty happy with it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattern1974:
My wife bought me my first Captivate as an early Christmas present in October 2010. That phone had a version number 1009 (found under the battery). It has been my understandiing that number meant it was built in September 2010.

I was happily flashing Froyo builds like addicted to crack for months until on Jan. 30, 2011 my beloved Cappy suddenly would not connect to the ATT network. IMEI number was changed but luckily I flashed it back to stock and fully wiped. (yes, I do have an EFS backup)

ATT gave me a warranty exchange with a version number 1007 (July 2010 mfg. date) with the original Eclair loaded.

2 weeks ago the same disconnect from the ATT network occurred after I lost almost all ability to play sounds (no ring tones, occasional sound on boot, no music sound).

ATT once again gave me another phone but this one has a version number of 1103 and the "updated" ATT Froyo build loaded. This seems it was constructed in March of 2011. It also did not have 3 button combo enabled.

I have seen great stability with the phone now. I started this thread to track users' experiences with their version of the phone.

Hi all,

yesterday I installed the XAT CM6FROYO [RC2 | Build 107] [2011-04-24] ROM, without any Problems (on baseband .58). Thanks for the great work btw. ;)

The ROM worked fine yesterday. But suddenly this morning the internet access was not working anymore. Neither via WIFI nor via 2G/3G. Somehow it "froze" during night. If I turn on Data Access via the settings menu, the 3G icon shows up for a second or two and disappears again. The same thing with WIFI access. I tried rebooting a couple of times and also crashed the system server in DevTools. I also played around with AndroMax and Widgetoid, but nothing worked.

Any ideas?

Root your NS4G > Install Wireless Tether from Market, or google the WiFiTether APK. This will allow to tether via 4G or 3G without the hotspot plan. Worked on Evo and Works on my Nexus also.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercluver:
Is there any way to get 4G tethering and infrastructure rather than ad-hoc?

If via wireless or wifi-tether app what version are you using? 2.0.8 pre-1 or 3.0 pre-14? Or something else? The built-in tethering turns 4G off, so alternatively to wireless tether is there a way around this?

I tried that. What mode did you use, softap or the other one for infrastructure? I tried just that, using 3.0 pre-14 and saying it was a Nexus One, and using softap. It activated the built-in hotspot and still disconnected 4G. Seemed kinda buggy. I'm guessing more work needs to be done for this, and I'm sure someone will figure it out soon enough.

IF/WHEN the built in hotspot is activated, am I going to be charged... or since I'm rooted and on a custom rom (I think just stock deoxed) is it unlocked where I'm not going to see a charge.

can some one please help to make app i can watch cctv over TCP/UCP port ?

i found some app they all does it over http and unable to access MY dvr !!

DVR : viewmax digital dvr

P.S. i have windows .exe and linux .tar packages

thanks

[Desire Themes and Apps] dannylill1981:
its not that simple contact the manufacturer of the dvr and ask them if they have an android app for it, however the dvr you have is one of the cheap generic chinese ones with a viewmax badge slapped on then you havnt got much hope, im an ex security engineer with 6 years under my belt, i only ever did cctv and in them years have fitted lots of different dvrs and none of the ones ive fitted have ever had android apps, a few have had apple apps and windows mobile apps but never android.......

each dvr uses its own type of encyption for the data transfer and protocol for the video so i think it would be not worth it for a developer unless you were willing to pay them to do it. it would be to much work for someone to do for free on here.

is this the type of item you have?

and you are right about some of them have iPhone and windows based app.

even in my dvr its have iPhone support settings but i dint manage get it work on iPhone too

so you know some one can help me make app , i m happy to pay, how much does it cost ?

thank you very much for help

Try contacting developer.

[Desire Themes and Apps] dannylill1981:
yeah these dvrs unfortunately are of such low quality half the time the mobile apps dont work, erm im not sure who could make one for you or even how much it would cost for there time, also you need to be aware that if you are attempting to stream video over 3g, its gonna be very difficult as a lot of carriers block most ports that these dvrs use and also itll eat you data VERY quickly, CCTV is very bandwidth intense and some mobile networks cannot provide enough hence why the apps never work or connect. your best contacting the manufacturer of the dvr to see if there is any android app or if they are in the process of making one. I wouldnt get your hopes up though sorry.
