Does anyone know or use software that can scan and located any wifi signal and do a auto log on to any available open network?

Google for it!
It seems something like Hitchhicker will do what are you looking for...

How to record courses... via a bluetooth mic on the teacher's desktop.
And then transform the recording in text. With the possibility to turn on/off the mic when he's talking about his wife and how he banged her the night before...

an app which records and is a note taker at the same time, with you being allowed to tag certain areas of the recording (lecture) with appended notes and stuff.
Btw, if you do make it, pm me the link !

Microsoft word 2008 does it...(the MAC version).

What about something that automatically switches your phone to silent mode when you're in a lecture? You could base that off your calendar to know when your lectures are. (Note: I think this kind of app has been done before, but it should be challenging enough to be an interesting assignment.)

[APP][ADD-ON] Firefox Mobile Add-On to change the X-Forwarded-For Header

The add-on will allow a user to set the X-Forwarded-For header using Firefox Mobile.
Download Here or Here
I got tired of looking for a way to do this, so I did it my self and thought I would share.
Tested with Firefox Mobile 16.0.1.
Minimum version: 15.0
Maximum version: 16.*
With this add on for firefox, a mobile user can access content from a website that restricts users to a certain region.
For instance, my mobile phone connects to gateways in Oklahoma or Texas, it switches between the two, to connect to the internet. But, I live in Arkansas. So when using watchESPN website to stream football games, if the game is blacked out in the the state of my gateway, then watchESPN will block me from watching the game, even if it isn't blocked in Arkansas.
However, if you set the X-Forwarded-For header to an IP from a state that isn't blacked-out then watchESPN works. To find an IP just google "(state) ip address" and some example IPs or IP ranges should appear.
This is based on code by Jakob Landbo, his X-Forwarded-For add-on for Firefox Desktop, which is based on this MDN article. To recompile it for Firefox Mobile, I had to change the entire way the preferences (IP setting) worked, import component utility services explicitly, and build it against the latest Add-On SDK with the "--force-mobile" and "--mobile-app firefox" commands. Rewriting the preferences code to work with Firefox Mobile was the brunt of what I did.

How can we install it ?

Errr, no. It can be used to browse the site, but doesn't seem to work with streaming. I tried a few IP Addresses from Dallas and Houston, all of which gave me a geographical error when I tried to stream on Hulu.

Can this be used to watch/listen to BBC radio/TV shows and various other world streaming services? I've been wanting to get BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra streaming to my phone for a while now as well as use some other UK based Television shows that don't allow US customers to stream.

To install it just visit the download link from Firefox mobile and Firefox will install it. Then, go to the add on menu to change the IP that it sends.
This just adds an X-Forwarded-For header to all requests, so any page that looks for that header to determine where you are will be fooled. I know watchESPN works this way. The others, hulu, bbc, etc., I don't know. But, many streaming sites accept the header as valid because most public proxies that people use to try to avoid the geographical restrictions add the header, and so, streaming sites use it as an proxy by-pass counter-measure. This add-on allows you to exploit that counter-measure.

Hello,
Does it work like a VPN ? like if i'm in China i can go on blocked website ?

It could be that this worked for hedphones and not for katsuro becuase katsuro's carrier strips the x-forwarded-header from all mobile request. Also, it could be that you tried it over WIFI, instead of mobile data, because I know my WIFI router strips the x-forwared-header from the request. You can check to see if the x-forwared-for header is being forwared by visiting whatismyip.com after installing and enabling it.

No this will not help you avoid the great firewall of china. It can change where the request looks like it came from, not where it is going. And, firewalls, at work or in china, block traffic based on where it is going.

New Update With Few Tips & Hotspot Mod {CRL2}

Hey All,
I had to update this thread a little it was pretty terrible on wording and full details. (Sorry About That)
The current hotspot hack still works on this new update too which is now CRL2.
You still need to add dun but it will look like this example below....
Ex: default,mms,dun,xcap,supl << Credits to whoever found this out first I just applied it to here and it works I’m currently using it now for this post :fingers-crossed::good:
*In order to edit your APN you will have to download Quick Shortcut App from the Play store*
Another thing if you didn’t know Good Lock is out and working perfectly too with new clock options and custom pulldown options that you can set to your liking.
*I added screenshots to help set what I set or how my good lock looks.*

they was added by sprint in the newest update
it was not like this before the update
XCAP is a protocol which enables a user configuring his service data (e.g., modifying a call forwarding number, changing his barring services) on the Multimedia Telephony Application Server (MTAS). The XCAP flow is typically carried over the default bearer of the Internet APN.
SUPL is a technology which utilizes existing standards where available and possible, to transfer assistance data and positioning data over a User Plane bearer, such as IP, to aid network and SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET) based positioning technologies in the calculation of a SET's position

[NST] "Security Warning" when using browser

Hi everyone, I am trying to use my rooted Nook Simple Touch for the first time since early 2020, and when using the Browser app, I keep getting this warning message
Security Warning
There are problems with the security certificate for this site.
The name of the site does not match the name of the certificate.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I use Opera Mini, this problem doesn't happen. But another app which used to work for me back in early 2020 is now having Network Errors, and I found a comment somewhere in the app's github repo that it downloads data using the main browser. So I suspect that the security warning and and the app's network errors are related?
Does anyone know why this warning is happening or how to fix it? Has something changed with regards to how the NST connects to the internet via the browser since early 2020 which could be causing the issue?

The NST still has a lot of life left in it, but not perhaps as a vehicle for internet browsing. You don't identify the "browser", but about the only two options for the NST at this date that I know of are Opera Mobile (or "Classic"--very similar) and Opera Mini. Of the two, the more practical and satisfying is Opera Mini. This is because the security checks are done by Opera's up-to-date servers before the site content is reformatted and sent off to the browser.
It's not perfect and some sites just won't display or won't display properly, but it's "pretty good" for infrequent and casual browsing.
Opera Mobile has settings for TLS 1.2 but their effect is spotty at best. Security requirements at web sites are a moving target and what worked last month may not work this month. And its rendering of HTML on many sites leaves a great deal to be desired. To be fair, some of the newer "tricks" just won't work with Android 2.1, so it's not all the browsers fault.
An app that uses the browser to download something? Not sure exactly what that means, but if it's using the Android Download Manager then you are probably running into the security issue either because of no TLS 1.2 (B&N only dealt with this issue for their own connection to the device) OR because a certificate in the cacerts.bks file has died since the last time you tried it successfully.
If it's the TLS thing, there's no hope. Like I said, websites and servers tighten rules all the time and there is no way to address that on the NST. If it's an expired certificate, it may be possible to track down which one has died and replace it.
For that, a logcat of a download/login/whatever attempt might be helpful (or not). Or maybe the error message mentions the certificate? If you could reference the github and/or app in question, that might help also.

Edit: See the "Edit" at the bottom this post... I looked into this more myself and found some answers

The "browser" that I'm referring to is literally the app called Browser which I think came pre-installed on the NST. (Its icon is a circle showing North and South America... let me know if you're still not sure what I'm referring to)

I'm surprised that it worked back in 2020! That old browser is past its expiration date--and then some. I don't even have it on my devices any more.

I went to ankiweb.net on my PC and looked at the certificates they use. One seems to be USERTrust RSA. This is in the most up-to-date cacerts.bks for the device. Did you ever update your cacerts.bks? There is an updated file at the end of the first post in the referenced thread. You don't need to look at all the other stuff (unless you want to). In any caase, this seems to make no difference since mine is updated.
There is a second certificate from Sectigo but I can't seem to extract that from Firefox the way I do others. That's the certificate the old Browser complains about and that certificate is NOT in the cacerts.bks file.

Yeah, I took a brief look at that. Looks a bit intimidating, but perhaps not if you're motivated to get it working.
I installed 2.4.4 just to see what we were talking about. Since Opera Mini is my browser, that's what opened. It looks promising, but like many sites with non-static content, it does not display completely. You go to a topic and all you get is a search bar, not a listing of what exists (like you see on the PC). Opera Mobile simply fails to establish a connection. Not surprising.
Finally I replaced the old Browser app in /system/app and tried that out . You can get past the certificate errors by just saying to "continue" but the eventual display is just like in Opera Mini. Only a search bar appears if you select a category like "Chemistry", no listing of existing shared decks.
