Anything new?

Hey guys, just thought I should check in. Seems like this forum is beginning to die. Has anyone got any new things that they would like me to test on my continuum?

Yes, I will have somethings to beta hopefully releasing mid next week, this weekend is my last week of work. So I'm freeing up my weekends again to get back to deving more...

You what are you currently working on?

Hacked kernel, ported roms, couple things added to jellybean theme, you know the regular

Sounds interesting. I need to get back to gb and I don't remember how to do that...

Does anyone still use this phone as their daily driver? Looking at people's signatures no one's says sent from the SCH-I400

Just in the past few weeks I quit using it. I've been trying to get it to work with groove ip lite. So far it works just not with the stock dialer.

I use google voice, do I click on use google voice for all calls?

Why doesn't grove ip work? I use that on my dna sometimes.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app

Groove ip works but not with the default dialer, was simply trying to streamline the look. It actually works really well, so right now I'm just asking more for improving aesthetics.

Well I don't think it does use stock dialer at all. Stock dialer uses verizons ish. Groove has its own operations and google voice to call and text just uses voice. I'm pretty sure u can take out the dialer and just use groove and voice

What do you guys think of this custom launcher for my dna I am sick of sense.

Also thought I should share my nifty sms app I have been using.
It's called ninja sms and I got it for 1$ at the play store and I love it. Should check it out of you text quite a bit and don't want to continuously change between apps. It allows the sms to come up on the screen. Kind of like multi boxing on the s3
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium

My lcuid 2 has that ability where the text will pop up and allow me to respond, delete or view without leaving the app. It is a super awesome feature.

Yeah I wish my dna had it stock but ninja sms is good for me.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium

Does ninja have a character count? My pop-up has a character limit, if I go into the native messaging app I can type as much as I want and it will break it into multiple messages, the pop up only allows for a single message response. I haven't decided if I like that or not. I guess it really depends on I can use that to tweet.

When I text I can send more than 120 characters and on my screen it only sends as one message. You could try it out and always refund if you don't like it.

Yeah just took a look at it and sent a large message and it sent as one huge message and didn't split into different messages. You can view a text that is more than 160 characters as long as it was sent as one big message. I don't believe it has a limit. As far as I can tell it doesn't split it up.

So I really like the way ubuntu looks. Since my dna is locked and I have no access to unlock or root the phone via software method all I can do is jtag, however I'm not going to do that so I can't flash anything. Since I love the way ubuntu looks I decided to theme my phone after it using a launcher and a ton of custom widgets. Here is what I came up with.

[Q] Hacked Phone

I have a buddy who has a phone that was hacked. His GF has access to his Texts and Call logs. She even knows when he is resetting his phone as she sends him text messages telling him to make sure he does a good job wiping it... CRAZY
What is the root cause for this, how can it be prevented... and what exactly is she doing>?

I doubt any mod or program with or without root access can notify someone when they enter recovery to wipe their phone. Beside how would a phone be able send a sms while in recovery?

Actually not really sure what its called but theres a app that someone that gets ahold of your phone can install that sends your txts to there phone and they no what calls were made.tell your buddy to look in system apps and look for anything out of the ordinary. THAT IS IF YOUR NOT JOKING.Im not though

This should not be impossible to do with an app. Even with tasker, it is possible to create an app (app factory) that will have a trigger (sms sent or sms received or phone call received or phone call placed), and send a text to a predetermined number with details of the sent/received text or the tel# called. And these text messages can be set to not be stored on the phone.
Yes, I think this will work, because I have set my phone up with such a tasker profile (created an app from that profile, and hid it from the app drawer) - so that if my phone is lost, I can send it a specific text message, and it will respond back to me (at a predetermined phone# with GPS coordinates of the phone), without leaving a trace of the message with GPS coordinates on my phone.
It should be possible to change this to intercept any sms message (incoming or outgoing), and send that message to another phone#
Or, she may just have access to your buddy's service provider's account details (log in to the website, see incoming/outgoing call details easily)

Have him use titanium backup from the play store to back up his apps then have him factory reset his phone root stays then have him get his apps back through titanium backup.

Sounds kinda like cerberus. If your friend flashed the stock rom like mdc or mdl he should be able to remove the app. I know there is a setting to hide the app. And if he had root you can make the app non-removable. The only way to remove it is to flash the complete stock rom.

I can't explain the notifications when he reboots, but I would guess she knows his Sprint.com login credentials and is looking at his sms and call activity there.

Use root explorer and delete from system or flash a rom and its gone. If this is stock then you have one over exaggerating friend. Or maybe you want to do this to your girlfriend and are too embarrassed to say the truth.

Most certainly not joking. I looked into his app drawer/app folder, and could not find any apps out of the ordinary. At first, I though maybe she was logged into his Facebook messenger account, so I uninstalled it... it made no difference.

The phone number doesn't have to be on the device as long as you confirm it.

What SMS app do you use?

Hey guys. With the new hangouts there are a lot of the features from previous SMS apps missing. Like the quick pop up reply from notification menu and multiple contacts.
I like hangouts and to be honest I'd like to use just one app only. Using Textra and it is awesome but can I uninstall hangouts and just use Textra on its own? What you guys use

I use google voice, barely any improvements, very buggy. But I haven't found anything better for texting thru voice. Also kakaotalk which is very bloated. I want a clean app that has option to send/not send push notifications. Know any?
I'm glad u said Hangouts is mandatory, I hate that. Can't we revert back to an older version and not be forced to use proprietary crap.

Hangouts is NOT mandatory, you can use any texting app you want.

Yea totally not Mandatory I used it for a week or so as my default sms application but then i switched back to the regular that came with the phone.

I use Hangouts. Its functional and full featured. The only annoying thing is that convos with the same person are separated by SMS and IM hangouts.

Look how to put your screen over the native one when call is detected. This is the easiest way for you.
