[Java for Android App Development] robles4242:
I am trying to make my first app. I want it to have no icon in the apps tray and be hidden, with a name like Android system.

I want it to block sms from a specific number, and possibly forward it to another number, without the origional recipitent seeing it period. I want it to block incoming calls from the same specific number and not notify the origal recipitent of call blocked. I want it to block outgoing sms to that same specific number without notifying the sender. And/or send that message intended for the origional number to a secoundary number. And same with calls, i would like calls to that specific number to be blocked and not notify the caller that their call is not going to the specific number.

Do you get what im going for here? I want an app made specifically to install on one specific persons android, to block all contact between that phone, and one specific other persons number, without notifying either party their communication of choice is not reaching the other person. With the possibility of the transactions actually going to a 3rd number soley to be used as a "monitor" if you will.

Can anyone help me code this, itll be my first app, ive never done such. Or if its easy for a senior coder, could you throw the app together for me?

Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Honestly. I would like to learn to do this myself in the future, so just help with setting up proper code is good enough!

Hi first off all, if you want hide the application in the apps tray, your phone need to be rooted

This whole thing smells very "it puts the lotion in the basket"

relationship counseling maybe?

Cause what I read is. I don't want my significant other talking to person X so i wanna control it.

Creepy..... Very creepy
[Java for Android App Development] Junkmen:
This requires a rooted device and it's pretty much illegal as far as im aware. For educational purpose:

A service(Services are not shown to the user directly) will be your sms listener and an activity will perform the sms actions.

You can possibly copy, resend and delete incoming messages in the activity. You pretty much wanna stay away from other people inboxes :}
[Galaxy S 5 General] tyler1193:
Warning galaxy s5 and s5 actives have a defect I'm the touch screen, caused by heat the phone produces however samsung denies it. What happens is that the screen gets hot from the battery and then it cracks then samsung support either says that Is an unknown issue or you can warranty the phone which you'll pay shipping to Texas both ways and then they will email you telling you that the phone has physical damage and physical/liquid damage voids there warranty where you will be forced to pay 100 and some odd dollars so they can repair it. This happened to me and since I have found 2 people I know that this has happened to, all only owning the phone for less than 1 week. Plus if you Google it you can find at least 6 other instances of this same incident. Oh and att says it was probably drooped and tells you to **** off, then they say that this is common that they get hot and Crack, aknowledgeing that it happens and that it was heat because the Crack is on the inside and not the outside. Then they say they don't warranty phones that were dropped and they just told me it was heat.

Moral of the story avoid the s5 and s5 active as well as ATT
[Galaxy S 5 General] Oditius:
6 or 7 out of 10 or 20 million... Yep, a good reason for avoiding the the whole thing. :silly: Sorry for your trouble, but the heat really has to be extreme to crack the digitizer. AT&T didn't make the phone, and didn't hold a gun to your head and force you to buy it. But Samsung could have treated you better. :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] tyler1193:
It's not just that but att has a 28 day phone replacement or return with a 35$ restocking fee that they wouldn't honor because it was physical damage even though they told me it was from the phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Oditius:
That is they know that Samsung is too cheap to refund them the money. It's all about the "bottom line" they have to protect it. But I guess I will see for myself when my S5 comes tomorrow. I am not a big fan of Samsung after getting 5 bad S3's when I was with US Cellular. But 95% (Made up figure) of what I heard of the S5 is positive. So I bought a used one for $350 (Sold my HTC One M8 for $341, so I had the money to try it out) I still have a M8 I am using, some how when trading phones, I wound up with 2 of the M8.
[Galaxy S 5 General] tyler1193:
I love my broken s5 it's a great phone but there is a lot of cases of this defect I have found a lot and to personally know 2 other people with the same issues with in the first week of owning the phone makes you wonder how many of them are not posted online
[Galaxy S 5 General] Oditius:
Or how many think that they caused it. :confused: Samsung isn't on my good side, I had 5 bad S3's when I was US Cellular. My Note 3 was good, just didn't like the size.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SH3RMSTIKK:
Doesn't sound common enough to worry, besides if they try that **** on me then I'll sure as **** raise hell, and besides that's pretty illegal for them to let a defect like that go unnoticed, and then deny to repair a crack caused by there ignorance, so weirdly I don't think this has much truth to it but, idk maybe it does, but that's my opinion.:cyclops:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masterjuggler:
I've been having an argument with someone about what to call the data/media directory. I've always thought it's fine to call it the "internal storage" even though that technically refers to all of the app, system, and user data. They want to call it "user data" or "user media" because that's technically more accurate, even when talking to people who don't know the difference between memory and storage.

What do you call it when you're talking about it casually to normal people who know nothing about this, and what do you call it when you are singling it out from the app data, system data, cache, etc. when posting in the developers section? (You meaning you personally, not the general you)
[One (M8) General] Zyxxeil:
Hi Guys, many of you may recognize me from the Nexus 5 forum through my contribution of Elix-R ROM to the Nexus 5 forum. Elix-R was extremely popular but sadly the last update i released for it was well over 5 months ago due to lack of time. I have come back to the development scene and what better way than to update my widely popular ROM to V1.2 Tetra.

The main reason for this thread is me needing average users that are willing to test my rom. My ROM's main focus is Stability, and Speed, For that exact reason I use the GPe ROM as a base to ensure maximum stability as well as speed. I have dedicated several hours to ensure that this ROM will be the snappiest and quickest ROM that you will ever experience for the M8. Not even kidding when I say that upon boot on dalvik it multitasks like ART. Besides that I like to add a touch of class to my ROMS and stylize and implement some nice and simple features that will result in a much better user experience than you would have using Stock.

There is one thing, Elix-R is not like most AOSP ROMS out there. I don't try to pack as much features and useless crap that will flood the device's resources. My end goal is to provide the cleanest, fastest, and most elegant experience for a ROM. So for that exact reason I don't base any of my ROMS on CM11, PA, ETC so please don't ask me to port features like that to this ROM. As mentioned before I use the stock GPe ROM as a base so modifications such as Boomsound and Motion Launch Gestures work 100%.

In order to become a tester for Elix-R V1.2 Tetra please PM me and I will send you a personalized copy to you for BETA testing purposes. Simple flash it then send me a simple and small review of how it performs, if you encountered any bugs, how it looks, and what might be needed to improve. Thanks :)

[Note Edge General] xile6:
So searching around for some Note edge information. I came across this site.

http://tabtec.com/comparison/samsung-galaxy-note-4-vs-galaxy-note-edge-video-comparison/

Its a comparison for the note 4 to the note edge. There is a thread on here (xda) about screen size. If you look at the pictures you can see that the note edge is just a bit smaller then the note 4.

And the edge screen is just a bit shorter then the note 4.

I guess its thats 5.6 vs 5.7inch, but any ways the edge is longer. So i dont believe your be missing anything.

pictures for those that dont wanna click the link.
[Moto X Q&A] devilsdouble:
Guys I just picked up one of those SanDisk dual OTG drive (Dual Ultra, 32 GB), and to my sheer shock I see that when I format the drive to FAT32 format the drive isn't being detected by my X, which is running on 4.4.4, rooted of course! If it's formatted in FAT32 it is being detected, but not with exFAT!

Now having a drive formatted in FAT32 is like having no drive for me because of the bloody file size limitation, so is there anything I can do?

I only have tried to mount it with an app called Stick Mount, and if I hit on mount, it's being mounted, but I can't see it via Solid Explorer or ES File Explorer, so I am guessing it's inaccessible somehow.
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
Using Stick Mount Pro on my X (4.4.2), 8 GB exFAT flash drive, it mounts to /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1 (/storage/sdcard0/usbStorage/sda1)

Did you read the following?

Check if you have those two files in /data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount/:

/data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount/mount.exfat-fuse (rwxr-xr-x)

/data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount/ntfs-3g (rwxr-xr-x)

If those files do not exist there, download them and put them there or try to put them in /sdcard/:

/sdcard/mount.exfat-fuse

/sdcard/ntfs-3g

BTW, you will see a notification saying "Blank USB storage - USB storage is blank or has unsupported filesystem." However, you should also see a notification for "StickMount - Mass Storage device mounted."

This just means that the Moto X was unable to mount the exFAT drive on it's own, but Stick Mount can and did.
[Moto X Q&A] devilsdouble:
Thanks a lot mate. Well I do have those files under /data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount/ fortunately :)

But those files are not in same permission like you mentioned, mine is -rwxr-xr-x, (please see the attached screenshot), while you mentioned rwxr-xw-x. So naturally if I am not wrong as mine is set as "r" it's a read-only file, and I can't write anything on it.

And I forgot all the Android things I had in my head, so I am feeling so dumb that I can't even change the permission to make it "w" from "r". So could you kindly remind me how to do that?

Just use that dumb tick / untick format so I can understand, like below

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

:laugh:
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
Sorry to cause confusion. The permissions I posted contained typos. Yours look correct " -rwxr-xr-x".

/data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount/mount.exfat-fuse (rwxr-xr-x)

/data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount/ntfs-3g (rwxr-xr-x)

Just FYI, from a shell (terminal emulator on the phone):

u0_a143@ghost: / $ su

root@ghost: / # chmod 0755 /data/data/eu.chainfire.stickmount/mount.exfat-fuse
[Moto X Q&A] devilsdouble:
Thanks. But this path is read only on my side, I can see stuffs but can't send or create or write anything :(
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
Interesting. I hadn't tried copying/writing anything to the drive from my phone. That's a bummer. I am using Root Explorer, but it looks like I have the same problem. Root Explorer thinks it has R/W, but fails to write every time. Perhaps there is a solution.
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
I got it working.

Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux

Set SELinux mode to Permissive. You should then be able to write to the exFAT drive.

I recommend setting it back to Enforcing when you're done (or anytime when you're not needing to write to an exFAT drive).
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Paragon NTFS would have worked as well.
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
Really?

"exFAT evaluation mode - for OEMs only"
[Moto X Q&A] devilsdouble:
Thanks a lot mate. Finally it's working.

However I have had to format the drive as NTFS for some personal reasons and its working well for the intended purpose.

If I don't change the Linux permission back to Enforcing what problem might I face? I just don't care as long as its not affecting the performance of the device.
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
Leaving SELinux set to permissive mode will not necessarily cause a problem for you. SELinux is supposed to enhance/enforce security and was added to Android 4.3 with permissive mode as default, but the default since Android 4.4 is enforcing mode.

You can read a bit more about it here.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/easily-change-your-android-selinux-mode/

http://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/se-linux.html
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Yup, it'll allow you to set SELinux to permissive within the settings even with that message displayed.
[Moto X Q&A] k_t_b:
Oh, I'm aware of that feature. I was just wondering if you found a way to mount exFAT using the Paragon app.

I liked that app when I tried it recently, but given that limitation I will just continue using StickMount.

I need someone to walk me through unlocking or unbricking it. It will turn on and show the lg screen and immediately say "boot certification verify" and the screen will go black.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
The only thing you need to do to get into Download Mode is turn the phone off, wait about 30 seconds, and then hold Vol Up only while plugging the phone into the PC. A few LG devices don't have access to Download Mode, but your variant is not one of them. If it did mess up so bad you only have access to TWRP, then you can try this:

And then try to get to Download again or there might even be an option from the TWRP Reboot menu, if I remember right.

I have 2 unread e-mail messages in my Outbox. I think they got there when my MDA crashed (soft reset) while I was sending an e-mail.

Odd thing is that they are not shown. Just an empty list with underneath "0 items, 2 unread". I switched off the check for "Only display messages from the last x days". So it's not that. I also already tried the "Clear" tool (which claims it only works for Sent items and inbox anyway, but still)

I guess it's not a big deal (it's only mildly confusing), but I'd like to get rid of those two ghost items in my outbox.

[X 2014 Accessories] km8j:
Will you use a case on the new X? I feel like the phone would survive a regular drop without any help but could get a tempered glass protector to ensure the screen was safe. The only thing I'm really worried about is the little dings to the bezel degrading the value. Im just not too happy making this phone any bigger than it is
[X 2014 Accessories] jphilippon:
I'm in the same boat about the size, I may do a screen protector. Also dont want to hide the ebony back I ordered. Bumpers make it feel unnaturally large.
[X 2014 Accessories] 0.0:
i think all cases make the phone feel larger lol. idk, i had no problems with my bumper on my n4, so i feel it won't be a problem with the Moto X

you could get a clear case. that way, you can show off the ebony back and not get a bumper :)
[X 2014 Accessories] mrvirginia:
i'm not worried about the glass breaking. i'm more worried about damaging the phone itself. i decided to take the case off of my current X. a few days later i went out and got really wasted. i dropped my phone twice that night, more than i'd dropped a device in the past 5 years combined. it's dinged up but the glass never cracked. moto sure knows how to make some tough phones.

definitely getting a case. nothing good out so far that i can see.
[X 2014 Accessories] km8j:
I think you are hitting the nail on the head. I don't think the phone will break but will chip, ding, etc. And that will drive me nuts. Moto did such a good job contouring the phone and such though, it sucks to go ruin it with a case.
[X 2014 Accessories] phermey:
the moral of the story, don't get wasted.
[X 2014 Accessories] grossermanitu:
I dropped my old moto x on the street. The screen damaged completely. For the new moto I still don't want a bumper but a screen protector. Any recommendations?
[X 2014 Accessories] mrvirginia:
actually, it would be the combination of don't get wasted + ride a bicycle + try to look at your phone + when it's like 4am. i've gotten wasted lots and lots of times and managed to hold onto my device.
[X 2014 Accessories] eksasol:
I stopped using cases because it take away the look of the phone. But I will use tempered glass screen protector for front, and XtremeGuard screen protector for the back, or a bumper if it's not too bulky.
[X 2014 Accessories] km8j:
Yea XtremeGuard is interesting but I'm more concerned about the actual bumper around the phone getting nipped and such. None cover that.
[X 2014 Accessories] knitler:
I may get a bumper and a screen film.
[X 2014 Accessories] km8j:
no difference between a bumper and a tpu case at that point. the bumper increases overall thickness of the device
[X 2014 Accessories] knitler:
Yes, my point though is that I have no reason to cover my leather back. I paid for it, why would I cover it? I just want to keep the screen and andean from being scrapped up.
[X 2014 Accessories] km8j:
Makes sense.
[X 2014 Accessories] crawlgsx:
I've never used a case on any phone, I used a bumper on the iPhone 4 (due to the antenna issue) and for a short period on the M8, but I hate cases. We spend all this time focusing on appeal and design of phones, and cases throw that out the window. They are large enough as is. That said, I have also never broken a phone. No dings, no chips, no cracked screens etc.. Worst I have had is light scratching on the back from placing on desk/tables/etc... So I guess I am particularly careful, even when drunk.
[X 2014 Accessories] razrielle:
I am currently using one only because I tend to deploy a lot and had an accident with my old Moto X. I have a combination Otter Box and a tempered glass screen protector and I like it. I adds a ton of bulk to my phone but I put only my phone in one pocket so I have enough room
[X 2014 Accessories] jc332986:
I usually get a holster and clip, but this time I got the tempered glass and the Verizon hard shell case with clear back. Didn't really make phone bigger, protects the edges and I can see the bamboo back. Love it. Now I have to get used to carrying in my pocket.

[X 2014 Accessories] Hemotherapy:
Yes the phone is very durable...Dropped it on my coffee table which gave my HTC One a ding before, not a single ding on the Moto X, it actually left a ding on my coffee table...Very nokia-esque build quality ;)
[X 2014 Accessories] Unzitron:
I got the matching turquoise and teal bumper case with my turquoise moto x 2014. The case does add bulk, but not too much. I think it adds some much needed grip to the edges of the phone. I still love the look and feel w/o it, but a some added protection is a must for me, I paid too much for this phone so that I could keep my unlimited data with VZW.
