I'm posting this here as well as other GPS enabled device forums.

Here's the main thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1543674#post1543674

Here's the gist:

I’ve found a mint piece of software that no Kaiser owner should be without.

It comes with a trial period and u should check it out.

I was looking for some software that would help secure my phone and came across this. http://www.wimp-software.co.uk)

It’s supposedly designed to help you find your phone (yeh right, I aint gonna lose my £500 phone) but me and my mate have had a **** load of fun with it.

It’s pretty cool.

If you read the instructions, you can basically text the phone, but the other person doesn’t get the text message. The software grabs this coded text message and sends you back the gps position of the phone. It also gives you a link to google maps which is great if you’ve got Opera installed on your phone. (Don’t try PIE, it doesn’t work)

I gotta say, I’ve seen a lot of cool software around, but this one is SO cool. I only wish my girlfriend had a Kaiser. I could have so much fun with this.

The only thing I would add to the software though, is to know I was being WIMPED. Maybe a little SMS noise, or the icon changed or something, but I do suppose that it was written for phone theft. I haven’t tried it yet, but it also claims that if you change the SIM card in the phone it’ll SMS you with the number of the new SIM card.
[P3600 ROM Development] s1rl4ncel0t:
It seems very cool.

I'm gonna give it a try :D
[P3600 ROM Development] alanplum:
It Rocks!!!
[P3600 ROM Development] samov:
Isn't this known as AGPS... well... a kind of gps location by bouncing off the signal dishes of your provider... but as far as i know your operator has to support it... alas it does not work on all...

P.S. now we know THEY can track our phones :D

Mobile Justice

Not tried it myself but there is a piece of open source software called MobileJustice that does the same thing.
[P3600 ROM Development] crankshaft:
Works for me. After about 10mins I got a text back with all the GPS data.

Gonna try the open source one though now!
[P3600 ROM Development] crankshaft:
CraftyB,

I'm trying the open source one you said about but can't seem to find anywhere to set things like com port for the GPS. Any ideas?
[P3600 ROM Development] TheBlackDragon:
MJConfig

In your programs file you wil find MJConfig icon there you can enable gps, MsgBox and Loc. Call.....i tried the software but when i changed the simcard, your phone must send a sms message with the new phone number...to your other mobile..(the number you have put in MJConfig)

or else you won't be able to track your phone (gps logging and messaging is activated by sms, without the new number, no tracing) but it didn't work for me changed 2 simcards and the phone i gave up to sms didn't recieve any.....

So it is useless if someone changes the simcard.....and yes i used the international numbers....
[P3600 ROM Development] esackbauer:
I guess you could notice being WIMPed, as the connection LED, which is normally blinking green, changes to blinking yellow, which indicates activated GPS...
[P3600 ROM Development] crankshaft:
Mine stay blinking green when I've a GPS connection
[P3600 ROM Development] alanplum:
Anyone found it useful?
[P3600 ROM Development] jmermel:
HARD RESET and it is useless.
[P3600 ROM Development] alanplum:
Not true.

Put it in your External ROM and it most definately isn't!!!

:D

They've got automatic launching of Virtual Earth Mobile now too.

Flash external ROM

Flash the external ROM and it is a mute point. Are you their agent?
[P3600 ROM Development] alanplum:
No I'm not their agent.

For a start, think about this. Someone steals your phone.

Are you saying that they are going to

a: Ooooh, it's a WM phone so the first thing I'll do is hard reset it.

b: That's not good enough so I'll flash their Extended ROM

c: I'll put a cooked ROM on it just to be safe.

I'm supporting an excellent piece of software from a company which is obviously just up and coming. If you don't like it then don't f***in use it.

I'm glad there are people out there thinking about us people that DO happen to be victims. Then you get people like you have nothing to do but scorn them.
[P3600 ROM Development] jmermel:
I understand your point....

Yes... It is a good idea. However, if you do not have the GPS on, it is useless. And you have to send the SMS message when the GPS is on.
[P3600 ROM Development] alanplum:
You obviously haven't read the manual.

The WIMP message switches the GPS on, and then switches it off when it's finished.

You should try it before giving it a bad rep!!!!

"By default, after installation, the PIN code for WIMP is

0000. Send a text message to your phone with the message “$WIMP0000” (without quotes).

Depending on how WIMP is configured, it can take between 1 and 10 minutes for WIMP to respond."

But after changing the SIM card, how can the phone receive a text message when the text message is being sent to another phone number? :confused:
[P3600 ROM Development] oVan:
After changing SIM card, the WIMP software will send you an sms with the new phone number I believe, so then you know who has your phone :)
[P3600 ROM Development] alanplum:
It's got an option to specify a different mobile number for it to SMS when the SIM changes.
[P3600 ROM Development] capeli:
How do you Flash this to external rom?

If you did include a cab for this program in the external rom, wouldn't it just install the trial version which would expire after 10 days if serial not input?

Is there a way to put an already activated verison in the external rom and have that reinstall instead.
[P3600 ROM Development] alanplum:
I just read that there is on their forum.

AParently it's a bit complicated but they are working to make it easier.

Problem With Serial Port Wimp On Htc P3600

HI!!! I have HTC P3600 TRINITY and i have installed WIMP (all was been OK)

then i have tried to send a message to my phone to receive its position but i ever found a problem with serial port that cannot be read on my device (with GPS incorporated and perfectly functioning with tomtom navigator). If there is someone who has the same problem, who has found a solution or who knows how i can configure the program i will be very pleasant!!!

P.S. o have tried specifing 2-3 serial com but the message is ever cannot work with serial port on device
[P3600 ROM Development] aburman:
FYI: Correct COM-port for internal Gps is COM9
[P3600 ROM Development] vanni836:
COM9 is the hardware port and i have already tried with this port but is incorrect for WIMP, consequently the port should be different. I wait answers from people who have installed WIMP on their device HTC P3600 resolving this problem thank you
[P3600 ROM Development] ameyhazuan:
Quite handy tools. Too bad it won't work in my enviroment. Usually in my place stolen phone will be turn off immediately to prevent the owner from calling. Then the phone will be sent to phone shop to be reformatted. So, to me it is useless.

So not worth spending money for something with no working guarantee. If freeware then I don't mind Installing it.
[P3600 ROM Development] b0tero:
Other functions...

I've installed WIMP on my TyTN II, cool software!! I'd like to know if there're similar applications used to controll incoming/outgoing calls and SMS from my PDA... naturally I'm looking for silent (hidden) applications, such as WIMP...

[LG G Flex 2] jmd.desai08:
I tried to install g4 camera app by : placing apk and lib file in /system/priv-app and setting permissions (drwxr-xr-x for folders arm and lib , rw-r-r-- for files in them and rw-r-r for apk too),

after reboot camera didnt work and i didnt have a backup for older files ,

i took LGCameraApp folder from another G flex 2 (BountyMan's) ,

placed them at the same place , set the permissions , rebooted but still it dont work !!

Cleared camera data , any app that uses camera , etc but all in vain . Help NEEDED!

(other camera apps such as manual camera , google camera still works !!).
[LG G Flex 2] copy2050:
If you dont have the older files from your camera...probably you never get your camera work again until you flash one KDZ for your model and have the system re-flashed! Or if you find one dump of the same version of software you have you can try copy them to system and see if that works! (i doubt, i really can say you will have to flash the KDZ to get it work again)
[LG G Flex 2] jmd.desai08:
I flashed the the system.img that i dumped before from the same device but in vain.

kdz/tot is the only way for now !.
[LG G Flex 2] jmd.desai08:
Finally camera started

After many trials and errors , with the help of [MENTION=615658]bountyman334[/MENTION] , camera started again,

flash device's system.img -> factory reset -> done!

I am rooting as soon as it is available. Why?

-Xposed works perfect now

-Viper4android

-Adaway

That is why I want root.

I don't care about samsung pay, at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DesignGrits:
Adaway, viper, titanium backup, busybox, etc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Delboyd12:
Only thing I find myself needing these days is Adaway, everything else is cosmetic...

Found Adguard now, so no need to root for ad blocking.

Probably won't bother rooting this one to be honest.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
I'm rooting ASAP to begin tweaking settings and for when source drops so I can begin work on my kernel :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
I never root straight away. I'll use the phone for a while then decide what tweaks I want to make, then I will root. If the phone is fine without root I'll continue to use it without root.

I use 2 apps that only work on non-rooted devices so this is one thing that stops me rooting too, but if I feel I need to root, I will.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] 0x000:
does adguard work for you? it reeaally drains the battery on my nexus 5, it took 24%! the phone didn't last through half a day with it running. i have used the VPN sinkhole, not the proxy option. same happened to other "noroot firewalls" i have tried (e.g. from "grey shirts" in playstore) so i guess it's a common problem with the VPN sinkhole solution..

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Ausboy 2011:
Yes if i decide to root my s7 edge ill be looking at bringing a kernel out. That will be for exynos model. Not sure if ill root yet thought but a kernel sounds good :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
Rooting for me is absolutely essential, I use too many Xposed modules (XPrivacy in particular for me is essential). But most of all, I need root for Viper4Android. Once you listen to your music through that, there is no going back. I've been using it for over two years.

It's for these reasons I will be returning the phone if the Vodafone bootloader is locked. Dealing without root for a month or two whilst someone makes it happen is one thing. Knowing I won't have it for the two years I'm contracted to pay for the phone is something else entirely, it's a complete deal breaker. I'd sooner stick with my Note 3 than have an S7 without root for two years, never mind being expected to pay £40 a month for the privilege. In some ways I'm actually envious of people who are prepared to have an Android phone without it, because it would make things so much easier if I felt the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
Mines coming direct from EE and I believe they lock the bootloader. However my wife is getting hers direct from carphone warehouse and has agreed to swap so I can root quicker (she doesn't care for root. As long as she can use Facebook and WhatsApp she's happy).

I had always assumed that Viper4Android wouldn't make much difference so I'll have to give it a whirl.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] wease:
I agree with everything everyone says here, viper yes, adaway yes, xposed definitely, but I so want to try it Samsung pay. The ads suck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
In audio terms, going from stock sound to Viper4Android is like going from a Ford Focus to a McLaren. And that isn't an exaggeration.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dredq:
I will root ASAP for ARU-R to use on pioneer app radio. I am also hoping for lots of development and custom ROMs and kernel. A boy can dream......

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] geoff5093:
On my 6P Viper actually sounded worse than stock... Even using the "audiophile" profiles designed for the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Brava27:
That's odd. I use it for most of my Bluetooth devices now. Especially my wireless senheissers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
Very strange. I don't want to insult you by claiming you mustn't have set it up properly but what settings were you using? The good thing about it is that virtually every aspect of a sounds dynamics can be adjusted. Did you simply use it with the profile you downloaded, or did you set the UI to Expert and make the fine adjustments yourself to the various settings until you got the desired sound? It can take a long time to set up correctly. I have various profiles I have made myself for different music genres and particular bands and artists. They took me hours of trial and error to set up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] geoff5093:
I flashed Viper, used the audiophile profile that was posted in the OP of a very large Nexus thread. The sound was obviously different, but was very treble biased. Listening to music on my phone speakers or to my BT speaker without an equalizer, it was ear piercingly high. I tried playing with the settings using what people had posted that had many upvotes, and it still sounded poor.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
It sounds like Viper Clarity might have been too high, or at the wrong frequency for your playback device.

Anyway, enough about Viper. Although it is essential to me so I need root on the Exynos S7 please!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] rappa619:
I wonder if xposed will work. For lollipop, Samsung changed their version a lot and the regular xposed for lollipop didn't work. So since this will have marshmallow, it might take a while for a compatible version of xposed.

Best to root after a few weeks, then you'll know your phone has no inherent defects as if it does, you can return it before you trip Knox.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] UnixSlayer:
I ordered a T-Mobile S7 Edge because the bootloader is not locked like AT&T. The phone will stay on Airplane Mode until I unlock it. I don't want any updates to go to the phone. I did the same with my S5, and I was able to Towel Root it without a problem. People who updated got screwed out of the exploit because of updates to the phone through AT&T.....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] faslane:
Nope. Not rooting g my S7 Edge. I don't use Spen much so got s7 Edge instead of n5 and don't wanna wait around for a VR supporting ROM and I'll use it a lot for business so want Pay. Cosmetically I can do 99.9%/of what I like without rooting.

Not a fan of adoptable storage at all. Glad they didn't do it and there might be a good reason for this. Responding to questions about Adoptable Storage, Samsung says that it doesn’t want microSD users to be stuck with cards that cannot be used to transfer files between other devices. Here’s the full quote:

Samsung decided not to use the Android Marshmallow “adoptable storage” model. We believe that our users want a microSD card to transfer files between their phone and other devices (laptop, tablet, etc), especially the photos and videos they shoot with the camera.

With adoptable storage, first of all the card may be erased the first time it is inserted into the device. This behavior may be unexpected by many users and we don’t want our users to lose their files. Second, once Marshmallow starts using a card for adoptable storage, it cannot be read by other devices, so it loses this ability to be used for file transfer. Adoptable Storage is also primarily targeted towards emerging markets where devices with only 4-8GB of onboard storage are common. We think that our model of using microSD for mass storage is more in-line with our owner’s desires and expectations for how microSD should behave

Never heard of it but giving it a try now thanks to you. Did you buy premium right away or wait until your trial was over?

Had the ad block add-on for dolphin but they took it off their add-on store, still trying to find the apk for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Delboyd12:
I'm waiting until my trial ends, coincidentally tomorrow when my S7 Edge arrives. Think I'll go premium for only £7 a year! Really impressed so far.

I believe the S7 stock browser features ad blocking as well!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Brava27:
Developer forum and no one wants to root lol. Odd....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Leeum:
I hope there is even a root. I usually root for Removing bloatware, Adaway & Xposed. Samsung Pay & Knox aren't a worry for me either. But by the time i get the phone there should be a root. I don't get my device until after the 17th but i preordered so i get the Virtual Reality headset :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
If blocking ads whilst not being rooted is important, rather than Adaway, you're best using the GitHub download of Netguard and use the import hosts feature. Like Adaway this application works via the VPN feature of Android and allows you to import ad blocking host files. And unlike Adguard, it's free although additional features can be unlocked with a donation. Also, it's main feature is that of a firewall, which is essential for anyone using Android if you ask me.

See http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-netguard-root-firewall-t3233012

BTW, don't download the Playstore version, it doesn't allow the blocking of adverts so M66B has a separate version to download from GitHub. However, once you have downloaded and used it, I strongly suggest you give it a good rating on the Playstore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] snake2332:
One thing I want root for is FolderMount to get the OBB folder moved to microSD card so I can load up a ton of big games.

Also, Tasker since I rely on that for my car-tablet setup.

I have 2 phones (Note5 for work being replaced by S7 Edge, GS6 rooted for personal) so I will keep my rooted S6 as my personal and my S7 Edge will remain my work phone since my work phone has to be unrooted. If root ever makes it to the Verizon S7 Edge, I'll switch S6 to work phone and S7 Edge to personal. Gotta at least have root on one phone.

I also want root for the same thing others have mentioned: Ad-blocking, Titanium/MyBackupPro, Viper, and removing bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Sk17z0:
I love having my devices rooted but I might wait on rooting my S7 Edge. I do miss using Titanium Backup though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
Two biggest reasons for rooting (for me) are ad blocking and backups. Since it looks like I can do both without root now, I'll probably hold off for a while and see how things develop. Well, truth is I'll have to hold off for a while, since there isn't any root yet. But unless I get really hooked on Samsung or Android Pay, I'll probably end up rooting eventually, just for the fun of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] wotan2525:
Any tips for backing up my S6 (rooted) and restoring to an S7 without root? It doesn't look like titanium backup can do this?

#2 Titanium Backup

#3 Adaway

DPI is a big one for me, if I can't get more screen real estate and get rid of the absurdly large GUI elements I don't want the phone.
