There is a thread in the Development section that outlines this, link is:

It uses QPST to edit the encoded information in phone.
I would like to add, for must have apps, Loot is the best free checkbook type app I've found. Also, if you've rooted, Adfree is a MUST, as is AutoKiller. I've saved a ton of money using the Coupon App. Youtube ripper is great for saving vids to phone, subsonic lets you tap your home music resources from phone, ROM Buddy is great for your emulator needs. And, MP3 Download is great for on the fly music downloads.

Bandwidth Monitoring App like SPB Wireless

Loved SPB Wireless monitor in winmo , In android found 3g watchdog which works ok and have seen netcounter app also. But none of these can give the detailed stats which SPB Wireless monitor used to give.
For example, I need to know which is the most bandwidth intensive app, how much bandwidth was used due to my video viewing and other such purposes.
Anybody have seen such an app on android or anything closer to it..

People always complain about Motorola/Verizon bloat. So I thought I'd document it somewhere, for the record.
I was hoping someone with an HTC Incredible or Thunderbolt would post their list of standard/stock preinstalled apps, so that we can compare the Motorola vs HTC bloat factor

Control PS3 with Android??

I looked around for a app, but could not find one that works.
I found the best one called blueputdroid, but that app won't work on my phone because I have ADFREE and it blocks host, and the app dev doesn't want to have ad's disabled.. soo the app doesn't work without disabling and restoring the hosts.
Anyone have any ideas of a similar app?
bumppppppppppp
I've been looking for an app like that too, but no luck. The best I could do was control media centers that I stream to the PS3....close enough
that'd be sweet
I'd love to get an app like that.
I wish there was an app that would let me use the phone as a Bluetooth keyboard for sending out messages through psn

Oh man that would be awesome!!! I hate using the pop-up keyboard with the control. I wonder if its possible..?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It is possible, I tried the app Blueputdroid, you guys can too, there's pro and free ads/noads im guessing, but even on the free if you have adfree enabled and your hosts have been changed, the app refuses to start up, so someone who HASNT used adfree can try it and tell us.
Some ROMS have adfree auto-enabled, idk how to get away from that if i ever wanted to.

New Notification

I've been running CM7 since the last "Alpha" release and have it updated with the Oct 22 update. I don't recall exactly when, but I started recieving these "optout" notifications. I don't know if it's related to CM7 or something else, but they're not cool at all . Does anyone know where they're coming from or how to stop them?

Go sms pro doesn't do that, but i don't use go fb chat. What opens when you click it?

I'm not going to click those %^#$%#$%#$ Spam messages... I clear all the notifications. The only features of Go SMS Pro I use are SMS & MMS. I don't have Facebook, Myspace, Google+ or any other "Social networking" (Read: Stalking) crap. Want nothing to do with any of them. Any ideas how I can track down where it came from? I've looked at the installed apps and services with Titanium Backup and nothing stands out. Unless One of the other apps got 'updated' to include this new 'feature', Go SMS seems the most likely suspect at the moment.

wats a myspace?
Although I usually have 150-200+ apps installed at any one time, I started getting those annoying little "notifications" almost as soon as I installed the free version of the IPhone keyboard. Not cool at all...
How often do they come up? Is it at a predetermined time or is it random? A relatively easy way to narrow it down may be to look at market reviews of suspected apps.
Girlfriend had this problem. There's an app called airpush detector on the market. Download it to see what's causing the ads

Hey all, I finally found a decent, tiny footprint wireless widget that functions really well. the app/widget is by Rounded Labs and is in xda_share/APK_add_12082013
I can't quite understand why smartQ put a Bluetooth toggle in the quick settings. That's something I never turn off...but the Wi-Fi, I want direct access to enable and then immediately disable. I am in the process of testing some wireless managers that take a more automatic approach to WiFi mgmt. Since the watch gets GPS data from the phone, all seem to work pretty well. However, noticed a lot of stuttering after install on most. Let me know if these auto-wireless mgrs interest you.

Ok guys, gotta anothercool app to add to the list.
My BIGGEST issue with this watch was the lack of a BT disconnection notice. My sw2 has this feature , which is one of the reasons I use tree Sony more often.
This is about to change. The lady grew weeks I've been testing an app called Bluetooth Notify. This is solely an alert app for bt connections.
In testing, I found that my N5 had issues with this app and didn't function well. However, with my other 4.1- 4.3 based phones, the app is functional.
Try the free version first with a pair of headphones...to ensure functionality...just if case the .99¢ is hard to find due to the holidays.
