im trying =) this is my first Major app, ive done a few modifications, some watchfaces for the MotoActv, and even fixed some non-bootable phones, but this app here is what keeps me busy, i just dont know what other security features to add, or to make better, i cant do terminal commands without root, so reboot (needs to be system app to reboot without root, cant be made into system app without root) so those have to stay root, the bypass screen lock uses terminal commands to delete the files for the screen bypass+reboots, but other then that i got data wipe + sdcard wipe done without root (requires you to enable a device admin tho), but other then those i think this app will go far when i publish to google play when i can lol i just cant find what makes officialvram's forceclose on startup, as i looked for his phone, and all the things i use on startup are all part of that phone =S
[Android Apps and Games] Abraheem:
I installed the app and its working ok with gosms (w/ proper settings).

I have a rooted note2 jb4.1.1.

After the phone starts, the app will FC after the first sms command and must restart it. Sometimes it FCs even while its not in use.

GPS doent work even after converting app to system app. Cerberus gps worked after converting it to system app.

Its not very stable and usability suffers.

I recommend to use a password for entering the app then all values and settings must be shown to know their current status.

The locate should return a link to google map, not just a text address. The alarm sound is a soft music, it should be an aggressive siren.

Thats what i remember for now. The app is a great idea and has lots of potentials. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
Thanks for the heads-up development and bugfixes have been slow since my school started back up, im limited to around 1 hr of computer-work a day, ive been trying to find things for google maps, but when i had an earlier build that used that, it would send a link too long for some phones to handle in one message. i will look into those bug-fixes as i still cannot find what is causeing the FC bug when u recieve a text from a non-whitelisted, a non-command, or picture message/mms i resently made the commands non-case-sensitive for prevent one bug that was happening, i had to temporarily remove the auto gps turn on untill i get it fixed, but if u need to use it do the toggle command with the gps option, or turn on gps ahead of time

heres the gps command syntax (if your pass phrase is 1234 do this)

toggle@1234 gps on

(other notes)

-the alarm is only soft because thats what alarm is set to your phone, if im not mistaken goto the clock app, set any alarm time, and change the alarm for it, it might change it, i will look into changing it to notification>alarm>ringtone order, instead of alarm>notification>ringtone

-the gps is only as good as the phone, so the addresses may varie phone to phone, even if the phonbes are stacked ontop eachother

-i cannot test on other phones other then the samsung fascinate atm, ive tried on different roms and worked fine for me, i cannot get the emmulator to run as it gets stuck on "android" boot splashscreen, but i will try modifiying my code and adding alternatives to some codes,

-and my computer went down with the sourcecode too untill i get the charging port fixed, so im rebuilding the app from what i uploaded to my github with code and ways i applied things by memory, so untill i get it the way it was: im going to have to wait on newer versions atm. sorry to all who are disapointed by that, but i will work on a better version (as the source code is kinda old, but all the major stuff for the app is still there
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
NEW VERSION!

this version fixes the major problem ive been dealing with for the Force-Close on receiving sms/text messages

Other added features include:

-Custom alarm (requested feature) Place and .mp3 format audio in the sdcard Named Alarm.mp3 under the folder

(external sdcard path)/KittleApps/SmsTasks/Alarms/Alarm.mp3

-Redid source for reliability, cleaned up some un-needed codes, removed the "disable cameras" device admin permission because i couldnt get that feature i was going to add to work, so i removed it, as that would be a good feature for security purposed for your phones running 4.0+ (may be 4.1-4.2+ im not sure)

-added a prompt for Read-all-SMS with an experimental phrase for MMS (requiring the new RECEIVE-MMS Permission), may only work for picture messages, unsure about other mms-types such as audio, multi-recipient sms (converted to mms type), or simple sms converted to mms, with only text;

-redid how the read-all-sms works (code wise), for more reliability and made the apps apk smaller (code wise)

-fixed a TYPO, but i still am unable to do translations, as i dont want to rely on translate.google.com incase it gives me false-translations and dont want people to think bad because of it
[Android Apps and Games] Abraheem:
Thanks. I'll try it soon
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
can you let me know of any errors tho, i had to totally redo the source so now all features might work exactly 100% then what they did, but by my testing it seems to work back to normal on my samsung fascinate sch-1500 running geewiz 4.5, Avatar Rom, and Domination (all android versions 4.2.2)
[Android Apps and Games] Abraheem:
Hi.

Didnt try all the commands but here is my result (note2 jb4.1.1 rooted stock rom)

Commands that have issues:

Locate : doent work. FC sometimes. shows smstasks with blank screen. Says 'disable tracking before hitting back'

echo : it displays the 'echo' command itself with the text. Doesn't require the password!

unlock : Device reboots and lock set to swipe (was pin)

toggle gps : didnt work even after converting app to system app, using titanium backup (cerberus did)

toggle nfc : didnt work

Some commands can be used with first letter capital (Alarm), some cant (toggle)

Password can be space. Did cause some issues

Ok. Good luck
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
I noticed the locate command literally an hour ago before checking your comment. I'm working on a solution tomorrow sorry. As for the GPS toggle that too seems to bug a bit. I'll look into the echo issues. I can't test NFC I just used a public code as my phone I use to test doesn't have NFC so thanks for testing it I will remove the unusable code. As for the capital lettered commands the ones requiring no input afterwards are equalIgnoreCase so its not case sensitive. But the ones requiring input are startsWith so it is case sensitive for now when I update with fixes I'll add a capital letter option for the ones like toggle or echo's thanks for testing :)

Just Reporting my app SMS Tasks has made its local (in my area) debut! it has lead to a local drug dealing around my local area, i had the app on one of my now ex-friends phone (who didnt uninstall, or change pass phrase), as he disabled e911 somehow, and it lead to an error in the local police departments e911 tracking system, the person who was doing the drug dealing as illegal as it is managed to not be tracked by officalls, but the person who ratted him out (not me), knew about my app being on his phone and asked for a list of local commands (as she knew the other persons pass phrase as it was the person who ratted him outs name (as they "were" dating, and she was worried about him)) so she reported for officials who were looking for him through the errored e911 tracking system (again unsure how he did it or if it was a true error in the system), but the officials used the phone that was whitelisted and since it was a unofficial system-signed-app version ive been working on lately (keep tuned for that version it will be needed to be installed in recovery or pushed, its going to bee as little "root-needed" as possible, it already has native non-root reboot options) anyways the officials typed in the tracking command Locate@****** (censored out the pass phrase as it was her name after all) and the app sent back the text saying the approximate location in a clickable google-maps link and the person who ratted him out recognised the nearby location and lead to the arrest of the drug dealer and the recipents, i doubt any recognition for the app will be made on the news, but it did feel nice to see my app had a practical use that helped someone(in this case the authorities), and thanks to all who encouraged me to keep up this project or else i wouldnt have added the tracking part to start with =)

i will post the link to the arrest from my local new's website if app recogniton or mentions of how the arrest was made, as they dont usually do that kind of thing since its more news-before-details. so if they dont i cannot add it to protect some identities
[Android Apps and Games] skepticmisfit:
never seen an app like this fight crime before.. nice story
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
i was more shocked with it then u might think i thought she was just going to reboot his phone to prank him, didnt know it was being used to arrest him 0.0...
[Android Apps and Games] abhishekpandey:
PassPhrase

What is the initial passphrase or password. I want to keep my own passphrase butnot able to do it because I dont know what's the default one? Also kindly tell me that if I want to remotely lock the phone with sms command and I use go sms pro and have disabled the stock messaging app, does it still require root access to do that?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
by blank pass phrase, i mean its literally blank, as in nothing is there, just type in your pass phrase u want in the new+confirm new pass phrase boxes and it will apply with nothing in the old pass phrase box, as there is nothing in its record of having a pass phrase selected, i tried setting it up with a default one, but people didnt seem to like that, so i made it apply with nothing in the old, so much as they had the same thing in the new confirm boxes, after that u need the old/current one to change it from there on (e.g. u change it to 1234 on the first load(when installed or app-data wiped), then u want it to be 12345 u put 1234 in the old and 12345 in the new and confirm boxes, and after that the old/current one becomes 12345, and to change it to say 123456 u will use the same method, only using 12345 in the old/current box)

Is this a stealth app?

Does the app run in the background? (ie. are the text messages received by the phone visable?)
[Android Apps and Games] Galaxy83:
I have a rooted SG4 and i'm trying to activate a terminal command but it isn't working.

I sended echo and it worked (btw, i sended echo(xxx) and it toasted: "echo(xxx)" instead of "xxx").

The commands i tried to send is:

am start -a android.intent.action.CALL -d tel:5555555

and it's equivalent:

service call phone 3 s16 "5555555"

Both the commands are working from the terminal emulator.
[Android Apps and Games] abhishekpandey:
I have installed it, changed the pass phrase successfully, allowed root privilege. Then i opened setting checked all the 3 options, clicked on show ads and then selected hide ads then pushed back button and then again back to close the app. Now when I opened the app again I saw that enable service and other 2 options are unchecked automatically. I mean as soon as I push back it unchecks tall 3 options. What am I doing wrong here? Kindly help me. I wanna use this app. Also tell me if it could do other things like turning on/off wifi and bluetooth...

Waiting for your response brother.
[Android Apps and Games] Torious:
Hi, I love the app. Thanks for crafting it.

The interface could use some work though (not the most gratifying work, I know)

If i press the "more settings" button, nothing happens.

I hoped to do a lot of configuration there, disabling individual commands, etc.

And it would be nice if the screens were scrollable, so when I enter my password the input field isn't hidden behind my on-screen keyboard.

Anyway not sure if you're still actively working on this, but if so, keep it up!

p.s. I'm using a Sony Xperia M on FXP311
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
sadly ive lost the source for this too many times and gave up this app to the Dirty Unicorns Rom Developers they have it implemented in their Rom Thanks to some of my help, i might still work some things on free time, but with rom developments, and personal things in my daily life, i havent been able to truly work on this due to everyones requests+demands i get in emails so the best i could do is open-source it in a commit in dirty unicorns gerrit in my signature for the native Mms,apk source code:

as for your wants, to disable individual commands look at the set@ command for some commands you can disable;

as for the "more settings" menu it opens, so idk why it doesnt it could be a rom incompatibility some people tell me they get from xperia devices;

regular activites arent scrollable, but in Dirty Unicorns implementation version, i had constricted it all in one menu by removing some unneeded things, and making its enable button out-of-menu, so sadly i cant make it fit on all device types, as i have gotten some things from people saying its too small, too large, not all options are there, but ive tried fixing some on-display settings and it messes up everyone elses views :(

so sadly ive given up its developments for now as i have to work on some projects for google, and a few things for other developers, so im sorry the current version isnt working for you =( i just dont have its source to fix it, even to implement it to Dirty Unicorns i had to remake it all from scratch+memory (lots of typing took me 19 straight hours, no sleep, of typing+fixing to get it right) =( sorry =(

please add these mount points for sdcard

/external_sd

/ext_sd

/extsdcard

/mnt/sdcard1

/sdcard1

/data/media(all, not just 0, since it may be 1 or even more in tabs with multi user)
[Android Apps and Games] MartiniGM:
Does this app allow you to send commands to other devices as well?

The possibility to relay reboot commands to my router or computer would be awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
i know its been forever since i posted an update but i can assure you all this ones worth it, not only did i rework how it works for stability (e.g. all bugs are fixed that were reported) i added two new commands!

new commands include:

-Restarting SystemUI (based on AOSP)

-Package Manager (or the pm terminal command to be exact)

-a "how-to" menu that syncs to all the apps (older or newer since this release, it is seperate then the rom-implemented versions) so if you see something on the menu that you personally do not have, try updating the app ;) it is plain-text formatted so no HTML or battery-hogs or data-Hogs are used;

-SMS Confirmation if the Command Was Received+Some helpful stuff added to already-used messages (will try to make a disable system in the due future, so if you do not have unlimited messaging (in this case sms messaging) please limit the commands you send as u will get one back (so u get two messages on your quota/command as its 1 sent+1 received) with exception of tracking then at max u get 1 sent, 1 confirmation, max of 3 location update messages with google maps links for a total of 4/command

bugfixes include:

-Typos in the First Letter should auto-fix themselves (noted from the echo appearing in toast mentioned a couple posts before this one)

-Faster Command Handling (or by what i see as i modified how shell commands worked with a universal void method

-Service Not enabling on kitkat (or by what i saw) but to do so i had to remove the enable checkbox and set to always running, but i WILL NOT affect your preformances texting so long as its not a command-formatted one from a white-listed number (unless you did *) then u wont see any lag or any battery-loss as all wake-locks are done only on terminal commands;

-Smaller UI screen fitting (smaller screens should show all things now)

and i finally POSTED ON GOOGLE PLAY!

there will be two versions a free and a pro, both will be updated around the same time-span when updated, and both have all features (unless specified otherwise if one is removed or added but i will keep all commands to both) =)

the only difference between free+pro that i truly want to show is the removal of ads that are in 3 menus

as of forum rules i will post the Free app's Link on here +the OP's Link was changed to the Free-Version Google Play Link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kittleapps.app.smstasks
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
i feel like such a @$$ and im sorry i uploaded a bad apk to google play guys... for all that downloaded it im sorry you downloaded a bad version of this and i will be fixing it asap; and as i did mess that last version up when i remake a new version that is entirely bug-free ill make the ad-free version for a penny for a month or so (as i cant make it free since its published as paid) i feel like crap publishing it i truly do... so again sorry guys and ill get a fix up asap as i have to remake it all again that way i know i can get it right instead or re-porting codes i ported to the mms.apk in Dirty-unicorns and the original APK Source i originally had for the older version was erased when my old computer got busted (hard drive included) so i promise i will get this done and get it done right, as the debug version i had used saved settings but i guess it was my device only... so ill get it fixed and get it up for you guys who previously downloaded it ok? untill then im unpublishing the pro version and when i get it up+running ill make the pro version for a penny for a month or so to find a way to make up for my screw up =(
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
strike that penny idea the minumum is $0.99 for google play paid aps so ill remove the pro version completely and make it all free with removed ads+all as if it really had to be paid i wouldnt screw up this bad... so heck with prices make it free as my screw up was bound to ruin peoples thoughts of this app, so ill take all revenue-relations out of this one =)
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
after a couple hours of reworking from scratch the new version is published with the settings glitch fixed and hopefully more stability with some root-enabled commands and a bit of ui revamping so you can choose what settings to apply like in other builds instead of in one button =S

links still the same and pro version is no more, and refunds were made and checked that they were processed before i unpublished and forgoten, free version is ad free now, and will stay that way again sorry for the faulty build
[Android Apps and Games] pwoita:
Eh - just tried it and the sms comes through and is visible on the phone and alerts the person who has it, which makes this not useful for me at all.

I am trying to turn on gps via sms so that I can locate my phone more accurately if it is stolen, but if it is stolen I don't want the sms showing up and alerting the theif....
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
Well due to android 4.4 restrictions i have yet to make codes that will work on both 4.0-4.4.* as of i added the codes to remove the brodcast it would force close on 4.4.* devices and over 40%of current installs are on 4.4 so i cant currently stop that pary

But if you need to you cant make sure u have activated devicee administrator and u can issue the lock@command and they will be locked out but sms broadcasts dont display the outgoing texts from the device you sent the command to so using the lock@ command then track can work on most devices as activities will still work behind a secure lockscreen by how i have it anyways and even if you use a lockscreen app like golocker it will force the stock android one over top all as a good alternitive

These are just some ideas as you can lock it then track like most security apps do, o just dont have a combo of the two as some users i test locally use them for seperate ways or times
[Android Apps and Games] pwoita:
Ahhh ... damn 4.4

Is it at all possible (and not much trouble) to check what version of android they have and if less than 4.4 to hide the SMS?
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
Yes but at the moment ive had to work on alot of apis and libraroes for people i didnt think of that :S ill get to that on the next update along woth a superuser prompt on startup like i used to have, i had to rebuild from scratch when i lost its source, then again when i messed up the settings so i havent fully made everything like the older stable version so ill add the superuser prompt, and try the removal of the broadcast for < 4.4 but to do so i may have to use two sms providers and im mpre afraid of getting two commands at once, but ill messs with it a bit anyways and see where i go as i also have IRL stuff to do for my college setup and be ready as it starts in 15 days so im going to be busier and busier sadly but if anything ill try as much as i can as im typing im fixing a friends computer that he hardbricked trying to force activate windows without knowing the real exploit... and messed up his computer... Sp remember that im a single working developer but i will try to work on or at least compromise with submissions and bug reports :) so ill get started on those two u askrd on and try my best on it :) if anything ill post a quick update with the prompt on startup when i get ot stable (a few local test builds with added stuff messed a few things up and am fixing when im not helpping as "tech support" lol)
[Android Apps and Games] pwoita:
Ahh yes I understand you are busy and the only developer. It's not a big rush - more of requesting for when you get time.

Thanks you for putting it in (when you get time) :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
lol ill get to it dont worry =) i do have some free time slots im just getting too many things prepared at once its crazy lol but im working on it now that his computer seems to be booting up just fine as of now (got to love exploited powered-usb flash-drives lol)

so ill get to it as i already added the SU prompt (simple code using roottools api library already added credits for the library dont worry)

now i just need to find where i found how to cancel the broadcast then ill add the API level checker when it reads the command then if under API 19 (4.4 i think as W or Wear is 20) it will remove it =) it shouldnt be too much harder then what codes i already have in there :P if anything the suggestion to add the tracking in one of the first posts (let along converting to a working "short" google maps link) was a bit harder then most others for adding to this :P so ill work on it and it shoudlnt be too much longer =)
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
ok i finished it just in time, i posted it on google play's link so it will update to all, i have not seen any errors from it thus far, and since i can only test on android versions 4.0.4 and 4.4.2 i cant test more common ones like 4.2.* releases, so if you or anyone gets any errors please contact me on this thread or on the email link (or my website's contact Developer form buttons) with a logcat and ill try to fix as so far its running smoothly for me anyways =)
[Android Apps and Games] pwoita:
Ummm .. now there is no text anywhere

There is no label saying what each of the text fields are

And the buttons also have no text also

The SU requrest worked as soon as I opened it though :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jkok:
yes i found out that my computer had compression on for my hard drive and when i uploaded a compressed apk it misread the Strings.xml and made all text in it corrupted, i fixed it and added a filter on the android version checks (as it was sending replies about 4.4 on all commands and can be a bit spammy if your phones 4.4 so i limited it to 2 before it stops)

i added that button idea for superuser instead tho as a user messages me before saying that users with supersu does not have "auto accepT/Allow" and has to "temp allow" it would spam it everytime the app would be opened or initiated, so instead i added the button idea so you can load it from the settings when desired =)

so i tried to keep my promise on compromisation to users so far and i got this one a bit better and will be uploaded shortly for all users =)
