It really is ashamed when misinformed people comment on things they do not have enough information to intelligently speak about. Especially when it discourages people from using an application that is one of the only current means of communicating over SMS in a secure manner. Is it perfect? Certainly not... Security and encryption are never perfect, and there will always be flaws to be found, but to insist that someone such as Moxie Marlinspike is somehow working against the security researcher community in some undercover role as an agent of the government or some corrupt company is really insulting. If you have some absolute proof, or even a reasonable solid suspicion, please share it, but otherwise do not taint these incredible people with false accusations. Learn a bit about encryption, reverse engineering, and packet inspection, and then come back and give an intelligent analysis of your findings of the application you suspect to be playing some nefarious role. Until then, your accusations are completely unfounded and damaging to the community as a whole. There are many people who have worked hard to make this product a reality, and I believe they should be praised for their efforts. Obviously these are my own opinions, and you are free to dismiss them outright as you have done to others in previous posts. In addition, I realize I am not an active member of the xda community, but I am an active member of the security/reverse engineering community. My job and nearly all of my free time is spent reverse engineering software and I see no basis for your accusations.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Here is more update on Textsecure: there was a major vulnerability found last October-November. And Moxie's response (not surprisingly) - fixing "feels pretty cumbersome" and "I dunno."

Also, Open Whisper is now accepted into the family of such a bastion of privacy, as Facebook (kids love it, NSA approves). So, If you had any doubt about this app before, now you can sleep well at night (sarcasm).

To those who like to attack the messenger ( I call them Google thugs or pacifier babies). One says decompile GSF, the other - false accusations and absolute proof?! Wake up and get the pacifier out of your mouth. There is no such thing in real life. I give you the dots, you can't connect them with the pacifier in your mouth.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Here is some more damning evidence that Textsecure is a totally compromised project no longer to be trusted: during 2013-2014 Open Whisper Systems received over $1.3 mln from BBG, which is an arm of US Government and its 3-letter-agencies.

http://pando.com/2015/03/01/internet-privacy-funded-by-spooks-a-brief-history-of-the-bbg/

So, Moxie, it appears, has turned from someone who was harrased by TSA in airports (presumably for a failure to cooperate with the government) to a receipient of major funds from the same government. I am not even talking about him getting a once in a life-time project to work on "securing" Facebook's What's up application. Pitty and shame...

Replacement for Textsecure

Here is a pure sms app, which replaces compromised Textsecure, as well as stock messaging. There is no over the internet messaging, no google binaries and no Google Services Framewor all closed sourse. In addition, starting from version 2.7, textsecure no longer encrypts SMS. Pitty.

Here is the latest version: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/sms-secure-aes-256-t3065165
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] worldaccordingtojack:
no backward compatible

no backwardcompatible in new version of textsecure raises a red flag here.

Sorry,this sheds light that the new version is compromised with a backdoor.

I use droidwall, but you need to root your phone to use it.

I block all the google phone home crap...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nexter14:
...so which app is a good alternative to stock SMS app or Textsecure?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lahma69:
There is absolutely ZERO evidence that TextSecure is compromised in any way. If someone tells you it is, ask them to provide you with proof. Anything is possible... but the only people I have seen making these accusations are people that have never reverse engineered a piece of code in their lives. Moxie Marlinspike, the original author of TextSecure, is one of the most respected members of the reverse engineering/computer security industry. His integrity is beyond reproach in my opinion. You will have to decide that for yourself. As for other cross-platform (Android/IOS) encrypted SMS applications, there are none that I would suggest.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nexter14:
Yes you are right, in fact there is no proof for all these accusations.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flacop00:
I have purchased a HICES Android Car/DVD unit for my Camaro. Being on that forum, which I won't mention, has helped a lot with some of the fitment issues we (maybe about a half dozen of us have purchased from word of thread). The company actually sells many different unit for different vehicles. We have been in direct contact with the representative of the company and he has quickly (within 2 months) corrected the fitment issues so this unit should now literally be plug and play.

Earlier versions were 2.3.4 and he has now upgraded newer units to 4.0.3 and upgraded us who purchased prior to the upgrade. Customer service wise he has been great. Also, since I had to download the upgrade, I know have those files saved to a MicroSD.

I have searched these forums for HICES, etc. however all I seem to pull up are the other Chinese branded units. There is one issue with this unit which I was hoping someone on here might actually have a suggestion. Is it possible that in the hardware for a "tablet" there is no microphone? These units only lack a way to communicate through BT. In doing the upgrade to 4.0.3 it has lost its ability to communicate through BT using the dongle provided. In the Camaro the bluetooth mechanism is located in the stock headunit, which obviously causes a problem when you remove it to replace it with this.

Because of the communication with the company rep our best bet may be to stick with letting them get this figured out, but I was hoping someone on here may have one and just not posted about it. I would really like to see what this is capable of.

Sorry I can't post outside links, but searching Google for HICES Android will pull up the website.

When I am allowed, I will post the website to the forum where there are more pictures and video of the unit, it just comes down to none of us being knowledgeable with android.

Thanks for any support

Brian
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yippee38:
Somebody here suggested that the HICES Deckless head unit is based on the AN-21u. There's a hardware hacking thread here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2610926)

Some people have added an external hardware microphone, but nobody has checked AFAIK that they board is the same. Maybe you'd be willing to remove your unit and open it up. The thread I linked above shows what you'd need to look for.
[Java for Android App Development] ibleedbinari:
I came across a service named "TestFairy", and I am interested in some of it's features, but it's TOS does not agree with my application. So, I wanted to ask if anyone knows how one could implement the In-App recording feature used in TestFairy in an Android application without root. I have already done some Googling to no avail, and I am just starting to make Android apps, so I don't know how this can be done.

You can see what feature I am talking about at testfairy.com by clicking "Demo" at the top or watching their intro video.

Edit: It would appear that it is implemented by screenshots in rapid succession. How could I do this or (better yet) just record a video of just my application without root?
[Java for Android App Development] painlessDeath:
If you only want to record the video on your device, you could use the new screenrecord shell command in KitKat

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/kitkat.html#44-screen-recording
[Java for Android App Development] ibleedbinari:
Thank you for mentioning it, but this doesn't work without root or without a computer, and I am trying to support devices down to Gingerbread, not just KitKat.
[Java for Android App Development] painlessDeath:
Ohh, I thought you just wanted to create a video demo of your app.

To add support for recording video for your own app, you would take the root view of your app, and add the screenshots of the view periodically to a video.

Example code

// The root view you want to record.
View rootView = getWindow().getDecorView();
rootView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);

// Record the view in a separate thread.
new AsyncTask<View, Void, Void>() {
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(View... params) {
View source = params[0];
long time;
int fps = 30;
long frameDuration = 1000 / fps;
while (!isCancelled()) {
time = System.currentTimeMillis();
addBitmpToVideo(source.getDrawingCache(), frameDuration);
Thread.sleep(frameDuration);
}
return null;
}
}.execute(rootView);

You would have to implement addBitmpToVideo.

You could either user ffmpeg for this or if you only want ICS+ support, you could try using the hidden videoeditor API

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] andre77:
This may be a stupid question, but is it possible to send real-time MIDI data over the USB link between PPC and computer (or via a wifi SD card for that matter)?

I've been playing with this Clanger Theremin app that turns your PPC touchscreen into a musical instrument of sorts - movement on the X axis changes pitch, movement on the Y axis changes volume.

It would be great if the entire touchscreen could be set up to send changes in MIDI values to a program running on the PC, also using the X and Y axes. Once MIDI data can be transferred, you could play the tuba via your PPC, or scratch virtual records like a dj, or really do just about anything.

There's already a program in development that allows you to do this with a Wacom drawing tablet (http://www.livelab.dk/tablet2midi.php), but a drawing tablet is already set up via USB to be a human input device or whatever you call it, so I wonder if the link between tablet and computer is at all similar to that between PPC and computer.

So would something like this be possible? Or is this just a pipe dream?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] markh:
Wouldn't you just create a server on the desktop and get the client to connect to it through the Activesync network connection or bluetooth personal area network? The server would then have to behave like a MIDI device which might be the hard part. Would the PocketPC client produce MIDI events or send simpler x/y coordinates to the server which would then generate MIDI events?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MrNibbles:
this is a bloody excellent idea!!!

i can never have enough x/y pads!!!!!

anyone fancy a crack at it?

it should be pretty simple!

should have the option that when its touched it activates a switch (simple NOTE ON when pressed/ NOTE OFF when released). ive got annoyed with many xy pads for that reason!

i have a friend who may find this pretty easy.. sadly my code skills in that area are lacking severely.

i suspect he is too busy though..

i am quite liking the idea of the server/client method, with the ppc sending the data to a server that then converts that to midi data...

perhaps even a clever card export style driver emulation.. (only requires a pc driver instead of server program)

assignable hardware buttons!! great for activating effects..

anyone got any ideas?

edit: had another idea
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] andre77:
great, i'm glad somebody else likes this idea! I guess the question is - how do you get a project like this started? I also don't have the coding experience that would allow me to make this myself.

Could I (or we, if there are more people that want this made) offer some sort of bounty for a finished app? Is there any system in place online for doing something like this? Something where you give a list of necessary specs and then post a reward for delivering a working app?

I certainly couldn't offer heaps, but if a bunch of people got together who wanted this and chipped in a bit of money each, perhaps it might motivate somebody to spend some time creating the thing. Programmers: how much would it take to convince you to spend some time creating something like this?

Or, if any experienced coders out there have a couple of ideas on how to do this and could point me in the right direction, perhaps I could do some research and eventually build this myself. As it is right now, I don't have a clue as to how to begin - can you send data of any kind down the USB link? Or over bluetooth, or wifi? What language should be used to program this?

Otherwise, if you're already interested in making a pocketpc into an x/y controller, and have the skills to do it, I can tell you that it'll be greatly appreciated.. Maybe I should post this topic outside of the Magician forum, as something like this could be useful for anybody with a pocketpc that has a touchscreen.

Anyway, I really hope that this can someday happen, it would be wonderful if it could. Perhaps focusing on MIDI data is a bad idea - if the touchscreen could be used to control anything on the PC then it might appeal to a wider range of users (and programmers). Imagine using your touchscreen via bluetooth to control Winamp from across the room, just moving your thumb up or down to raise or lower volume. I'm sure there are a huge variety of other uses that could come in handy as well. Assignable hardware buttons would be amazing...:)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MrNibbles:
There is already plenty of software that allows you to control your PC via your PPC (pocket VLC, winamp remote etc etc etc) but this doesnt neccesarily help matters.

If you have to have the controller on the screen of the host machine... you may as well be using a damn mouse.

I suggest a complete midi send system that will make the ppc work as if it is a real MIDI controller. This way you can use it as a system of control for elements that wont be controlled by devices you can have on-screen.

Im going to look into this later, im just about to do some important house related things

keep the ideas coming

Hi guys!

I'm starting a company in Brazil similar to Square Trade and Asurion in the US. So, before a user signs up to one of our protection plans, we need to remotely verify whether the device is fully functional. We already have and app that does part of that (the user takes a photo, press some buttons and does some other activities so we can verify the device).

However, there's still some terrain to cover. I was thinking about a stress test that would make the device freeze/reboot when the processor/board is faulty (like these devices do when people try to use heavy apps/games), some network tests (wifi and 3g/4g) and battery tests (Android already reports some stuff like health and temperature but I think these are not reliable). Do you guys know about some way to do that? I searched for an open source benchmark engine to no avail, so the next step was to ask here given you guys are always making awesome software/tweaks. :)

Any help is appreciated.

This case is a great way to protect your phone with style.

The design is of the case is well planned and thought out. The case is made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), which if firm and flexible all the same time. This case does a great job protecting the phone from scratches, bumps, and nicks. There are perfect cutouts to access all buttons and ports.

The rear has a translucent matte finish and wallpapered with the Android robot, while the sides are clear.

In the hand, the case is very light and does not add any noticeable weight. Once on the phone, the case enhances the look and feel while protecting it as well. Your phone will be firmly held in place by a small lip inside of the case. There is also a small raised edge on the front of the case so your phone can be placed faced down without scratching your screen.

If you are looking for a case to protect your phone with a bit a style, you will not find many better.
