texts: Ads security issue affecting all Android system

texts:
for a couples of day I have noticed that there is a strange behavior on my Android phone device. and I think it is a global problem.

I have noticed that some Ads appears in the screen in whatever app is opened or on the home screen, with and X to close it. It could appear overlapping any application, and in the middle of the screen but not full screen.

I closed it, and I didn't know what application causing that behavior, but after a while I have noticed that some application are installing them self without any permission from my side. those application are four and appears on the notification bar with  is downloading themself. and the phone is going so slow.

I check the apps manager and I found four strange services I didn't notice them before.

adService
Clain Left
com.android.tools
com.bd.sdk.project

I uninstall them and they return again and again every one or two hours. and in different Wifi network.

I decided to rest my phone to its factory setting. but I still got the same problem.!!!

Dose somebody faced that kind of problem recently? and what solve this problem.
Thanks


texts: Why do I see adverts after closing WhatsApp?

texts:
Every time I close WhatsApp I get some sort of an advertisement.

According to their site they don't advertise, but I see adverts like this after closing the app:

I  have contacted the WhatsApp support team and their reply was:

  WhatsApp does not advertise. If you are seeing advertisement on your
  device, it is from your device and not WhatsApp.

How can the device advertise on it's own??

texts: How can I hide some contacts from dialer?

texts:
I am playing around with my brand new Motorola Defy and trying to find a way to manage my contacts.
Of course it synced every contact in my Google account... I want to hide some of them, you know, those people you don't contact often but whose coordinates you want to keep in case you ever need to. I haven't had any luck so far.

I have 3 apps on my phone that deal with contacts :

one called Contacts that is just for managing contacts (no tabs like dial or favorites) -- you can call someone after selecting them, then selecting the phone number, then call -- in there I can select groups I want to hide but too many clicks to call someone
the dialer (my phone is in French so it's called "Appeler" = Call) with tabs : call, recent, contacts, favorites -- works as I'd want to but display all contacts with a phone number, and I haven't find a way to hide some groups (and it does display "visibility: hidden" when you select the contact)
Go contacts, that I installed in hope it would be everything I wanted, but I can't hide groups, as when I try remove a group from the app it deletes it from Google

I don't know if the 2 apps that came bundled with my phone (contacts and dialer) are stock Android or Motorola. BTW, I skipped the configuration of Motoblur so no Motoblur account or anything like that. And it's running Froyo (already installed when I got it).

Does anyone have a solution for me ?

texts: How to disable autostart of an app on LineageOS 14?

LineageOS used to have a function in the settings to activate and deactive the auto-start of apps inside Settings -> Apps if I recall correctly. I no longer find it in any setting option.

texts: I have multiple google accounts. How can I hide some of them from the Gmail and Calendar apps?

texts:
I have several google accounts I use for different purposes (i.e. my main everything account, one to log in to less secure websites / games, one shared account for work, my wife's Play store account).

I only use my main account for the gmail app and two accounts for the calendar app. I have customized the synchronization options under settings -> General --> accounts but even though I disable synchronization of Gmail, the accounts still show up in the calendar and gmail apps. How can I make these go away?

I use a rooted Note 3 on t-mobile.

texts: How to setup screen sharing for business meetings?

texts:
I'm wondering if it would be possible to use android-based tablets (or ipads) in business meetings.

The idea would be to have each person in the meeting, with its individual tablet, see what a "meeting-leader" is seeing on his own tablet, navigating through the web or using apps.

I see some solutions that seem to be mostly directed into remote-control, but what I want is just to screencast in realtime to multiple receivers, privately. The ability to let some other person take control would also be nice, but not mandatory.

How could I set this up?

texts: How to read (or restore) files on encrypted SD card after update to Android Oreo?

texts:
My situation

I have been using the encryption of my Android phone’s external SD Card on a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Duos (SM-J330F) ever since I got it. I have recently updated my OS to Android 8.0 (Oreo).

Upon restart a notification was displayed that the encrypted SD card could not be decrypted because it was encrypted on a different device (which is no true; I have been using the same device, but the OS might not be able to recognize this). It is my understanding that decryption of the SD card is not possible on any other device.

This might not be the first case where Android fails to decrypt SD card after update to Oreo.

What have I tried?

I have shutdown my device, removed the (micro) SD card, and plugged it in to my notebook. All (?) files are visible, the filenames look okay, but content is not readable. I have then created an image by running

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=~/SANDISKSDHC.img status=progress

I have reformatted the SD card with my Android device. I have then written back the IMG file to the SD card by running

dd if=~/SANDISKSDHC.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 status=progress

I have loaded the SD card into my Android device and started it. Again a notification was displayed that the encrypted SD card could not be decrypted because it was encrypted on a different device...

texts: How to get Android 11 to trust a user root CA without a private key?

texts:
I'm trying to install a new user root CA certificate in DER form (.crt file) on Android 11, without much success. The previous (expired) CA certificate worked just fine from an earlier install on a previous Android version (I don't quite recall, probably 9 or 10), but the same procedure I used back then (Security > Encryption & Credentials > Install a certificate > CA certificate) now shows the following error message:

Private key required to install a certificate

The answer by Benedito Marques in this question works, but as the other commenters say this completely defeats the purpose of having a private CA with a private key. I do not want this key my device, do I have any solution?

texts: Is there any way to mass background restrict app battery usage?

texts: My Pixel 2 has been experiencing severe standby battery drain (last night it went from 95-30 while I slept), and I'm pretty sure it's one of my apps' faults since it doesn't happen when I reboot the phone in Safe Mode. So now I'm trying to restrict most of my apps from using battery in the background, but it's a huge pain going through 50+ app battery usage pages to toggle their "Background Restriction" property. There's a page to disable app battery restrictions in Settings > Battery > Adaptive Battery > Restricted Apps, but there's no way to add apps to that list. Is there a mass app battery management settings page/developer option I'm missing, or maybe an app that provides this functionality?

texts: How to extract Google contacts pictures?

texts:
I would like to have all my Google contacts' pictures extracted in a folder, for instance in JPG format.

I know that it's already possible to export all contacts including pictures, for instance via the Export option in Google Contacts or via a third-party app such as Contacts Backup Ultimate. However, this generates a bundle of all contacts (for instance, a VCF file generated via the Export command above will contain all pictures Base64-encoded). I would like to obtain instead a image file for every contact so that they are easily viewable.

Is there a way to do so?


texts: Data recovery from android device with broken screen

texts:
Situation Summary - I have an Android device with a broken screen, LCD and touch
I have an android phone (BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, which I have flashed with the Android firmware for the E4.5 - this is an Android phone, it is not running Ubuntu anymore). I recently broke this phone - the screen does not work, neither the capacitive touch layer of the screen nor the LCD layer of the screen work. However I believe the rest of the hardware to be otherwise impaired.
USB debugging on this phone is not enabled. As I understand it, if I am to recover data from this phone I must enable the USB debugging. I believe this can be done via adb, or perhaps fastboot?
Note: I can use either a ubuntu linux OS or Mac OS X to attempt to recover data from this phone. Currently I have tried installing the Android Studio Software on these 2 computers/OS's and used adb devices to detect my phone, however the device has failed to be detected.
What should I do next to attempt to recover data from this device?
To be perfectly honest I am slightly lost here. I considered buying a usb to hdmi cable, but I have no idea if my device supports this hardware, and even if it did, the capacitive touch layer of the screen is still broken, so I would be unable to control my phone via the screen...
Therefore I think the most sensible option is to try and use adb(?) to enable USB debugging, and then use some other software to copy data from my android device to one of my computers.
I think the best course of action is to ask what are the next steps I should try to recover the photos/videos/documents from my phone? I am fairly familiar with ubuntu/linux, but I'm certainly not an expert with Android!
What are the next steps I should take to attempt to recover data from my phone/enable USB debugging?

texts: I've rooted my tablet, now how do I get rid of this bloatware?

Possible Duplicate:
  Rooted Phone but still can't uninstall Apps

I just went through the process of rotting my Galaxy Tablet 10.1. I used these instructions, and the process went smoothly so I think it was a success.

However, everything looks pretty much the same as before, so I can't really tell if anything has actually happened.

In any case, part of the reason I did this was so that I could remove some pre-installed bloatware off the tablet. My understanding was that if the tablet was rooted, I would have the ability to do this.

If this is the case, though, I can't tell how. There is still no uninstall option in Settings->Applications->Manage Applications for the unwanted apps.

Do I have to do something else?

Is my tablet not actually rooted as I thought?

Was I wrong that a rooted tablet would be able to remove bloatware?

texts: May 2013 Gmail app update: "Reply as" multiple accounts gone? (Android 4.2.2)

texts:
I have two gmail accounts hooked up to my Samsung S4. When I go into the Gmail app and compose an email, I'm given the choice to send as any email address associated with either account. It used to be that I could reply to any email from any address as well.  So for example, if someone sends something to my work address I could reply to them from my personal address just by selecting the account from the pull down at the top.

Now it looks like I can only reply, reply all, or forward an email from any email address associated with that one account.  So I can only reply from my work addresses if the email was sent to a work address; I can only reply from my personal addresses if the original email was sent to one of my personal addresses.

This seems like a major loss of functionality!  Especially when Android will "share" from the last email account touched, it seems important to be able to quickly select which address to reply from / send from.

Can anyone explain this behavior?  Is this a problem for anyone else?  Is there a way around this?  Thanks!

texts: Is it possible to get my headset to initiate a recording app and record my voice?

texts:
I have a set of Sony headphones with a single button and microphone. I also have a Samsung SC-04F running Android 5.0, unrooted.

I want to be able to press the button on my headset once and record my voice. When I press the button again, the recording stops.

Ideally this can happen regardless of what ever other app I happen to be using. So, if I'm listening to music, pressing the button will start the recording app. I guess it should probably pause the music, and then ideally return to music playing when I stop.

I've looked at options for apps that claim to allow recording via the headset microphone. But, this one for example, seems to require that the app already be running. I've also looked at headset button control apps, and I can get it to open a voice recorder app, but not actually start recording.

Is what I'm trying to achieve possible?


texts: What is the functionality concept behind Wi-Fi sharing (aka Wi-Fi Profile share)?

texts:
Recent versions of Samsung devices (at least to my knowledge) are equipped with a rather unique feature
called "WiFi Profile share" or just Wi-Fi Sharing.

My little understanding of this feature suggest that, a WiFi connection is "shared over WiFi"
unlike traditional hotspot feature which shares mobile data (3g, 4g etc.)

I would like to know how this idea of rebroadcasting a WiFi connection works. In most desktop environments this is achieved through
an implemenation of virtual wlan drivers, which then are used to rebroadcast/share a given connection through another SSID.

My question is how is this achieved in android through this feature (WiFi profile share)? Is a new interface apart from wlan0 created? Perhaps with Wi-Fi direct?

I understand it is not possible to have two concurrent wireless connections via the same interface (which is why WiFi functionality is disabled when mobile hospot is active)

The rationale of asking this question was that I wanted to achieve the same from my Android tablet to my beloved Symbian device (i.e Share Wi-Fi from my Android tablet to my Symbian device "over wi-fi" because the latter can't connect to captive portal wi-fi networks)

texts: Make Android to handle a hardware keypad properly

texts:
I got the following phone for Christmass: GuoPhone N2 (also sold under the names Swell N2, Landrover N2, Cube1 T1C, ...). It has a build-in hardware keypad and runs Android 6.0. However, writing messages is quite cumbersome since there is no special software keyboard (like LG keyboard for LG Wine Smart) which would handle the keypad properly. I would like to be able to do the following:

Write "." by pressing 1 instead of searching through the list of characters.
Write space by pressing 0 shortly instead of holding 0.
Write numbers 0,1,...,9 by holding the corresponding buttons.
Switch input modes (capitals, numbers) by pressing # shortly.

Can I achieve this by changing the configuration files (e.g. /etc/system/usr/keylayout, /etc/system/usr/keychars) or do I need a special keyboard app? If there is no available solution of my problem I will consider downloading the source code of the Android keyboard from here and trying to modify it. However, it would be a lot of work for me as I don't have any experience with programming for Android. Is here anybody who finds this task easy and could give me any instructions?
Thank you very much for any help.

P.S.: I tried Swift Keyboard, Google Keyboard, etc... but they cannot even handle typing letters by multiple clicks so I can write just numbers with them. Only the preinstalled Android keyboard can handle multiple clicks.


texts: Will leaving a device on an NFC tag do any harm?

texts:
I want to leave my phone sat on an NFC tag all day long - will it do any harm to either the phone or the tag?

I'm worried about Android constantly trying to read the tag all day, and that this could cause unecessary battery use, the tag could get hot from constantly being read, etc etc.

Is there anything to back up these concerns, or is it fine to leave a device on an NFC tag for a long period of time? Will Android read the tag over and over again, or does it somehow know when it's placed on a new tag?

Note the device is a Samsung Galaxy S7 (Android 7.0) and the tag is one of the cheap 'NFC stickers' you can get from amazon etc.

Edit: not a dupe of the linked question because that only asks about battery drain. This question is about adverse affects in general (e.g. over heating the tag).

texts: Will removing /system apps give any usable space on lollipop?

texts:
In earlier versions I've pushed updated apk's to /system manually from time to time as it annoyed me to have an extra older version of Google+, Play store, Youtube, Keep, actually ALL the preinstalled google apps as well as a lot of Sony Apps (Album, Music etc.)
This would give me 300-500Mb for a cleanup as some of these apk's are quite large.

This is a tedious approach and would break stuff from time to time, but I am unsure if the simpler approach: Merely deleting the old system apk would give me any useable space?
In older versions the clear answer would be "no" as each partition was allocated a set amount of space, but after (I think) Kitkat, Internal storage was mounted as an emulated partition or something like that.

I have been searching for more information regarding this, but have not found anything yet. Hope there is a knowledgeable one hidden among you (preferably with sources) ;)


texts: How to quickly switch between two apps on one half of the split-screen view?

texts:
I'm in this scenario a lot:
I'm using split screen opened to App1 taking the first half of the screen and App2 taking the second half of the screen. I frequently need to switch between App2 and App3 on the second half of the screen while keeping App1 on the first half. One way to switch between them is to tab the recent apps button then drag the app window to the second half of the screen. Unfortunately this process takes from 5 to 15 seconds each time I want to switch between App2 and App3, which is very exhaustive as I need to switch between them in a very frequent manner (About 3 to 10 times within 5 minutes).

How could I switch between App2 and App3 on the second half of the screen quickly just by some gesture and the apps get instantly switched without the need to drag or re-position the apps windows in order to re-fit the split screen each time?
A gesture example could be: swiping from the buttom edge of the screen to upwards on the second half of the screen (if screen is in horizontal mode).

Important clarification:
I'm asking about switching apps while being in multi-app split screen view. I'm not asking about single app view.
One example of apps which works very well for the single app view is EAS App Switcher. What I need is that when I switch to another app it's opened in the second half of the splitted screen (not the full screen which destroys the split screen view).
Let me clarify more. I have App1 and App2 active (in split screen mode). EAS will do the job if it replaces App2's window with App3's while keeping App1's as is. What it does is that it opens App3 on full screen (single app view) destroying the split-screen view and App1 becomes in the background instead of keeping App1 active and next to it is App3 on the other screen half.
It would be very helpful if exist some app or launcher that achieves this.
I'm on Android 6.0.1 on Samsung Note 4 with root access.


texts: How to install recovery after rooting Xperia M (stock ROM 4.3) to install custom ROM?

texts:
I have a rooted Xperia M Dual (C2004) with stock ROM 15.5.A.1.5 (4.3 Jelly Bean). Bootloader unlocking is allowed and I also have the unlock code already.

Since Sony decided to stop giving updates I wanted to install a custom ROM. So went ahead and rooted it but now I'm stuck.
I am still on stock ROM because I don't know how to proceed now.

Some threads say to unlock bootloader and flash the ROM, some say to flash the stock ROM first then recovery.

I found this app called TWRP Manager on my device's twrp page( https://twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiam.html ) which has an option to install TWRP.
But since my bootloader is still locked I don't know if it's safe.

A guide on XDA has instructions but it says after unlocking bootloader flash the custom ROM which is a huge 700 megabytes download and I at the moment don't have the bandwidth.

So is it possible for me to install TWRP via that app and flash the custom ROM directly?
Or what else should I do?

I (accidentally) dunked my Samsung Galaxy S S7562 in coffee. When I found it, it was swimming around in the coffee in my bag. It seemed to be working when I shut it down and took out the battery.

I left it in uncooked rice overnight. Then, I dried it under the sun for a few hours before putting the battery back. I can only get to the Samsung splash screen and (for a few seconds) to the custom ROM installation screen. Is this a characteristic soft brick?

I suspect there might be hardware damage because of coffee particles. What can I do at this stage?

texts: Dual booting linux on android galaxy note 10.1

texts:
I have a samsung galaxy note 10.1 and would like to be able to run a linux distribution. I would suspect that this is attainable, and that people have already done it. What I want to know is the specifics such as:

When I start my tablet, can I select which operating system I would like to run? I do not want to run both at the same time.
Which Linux distribution will give me the best performance?

I pretty much want to keep my Android functionality for the S pen, note-taking, and games (as it was made for that). I would also like to have the option to run an efficient Linux distribution so that I can run the standard UNIX tools/programs/compilers that are all familiar to me. Also, I do not really care about having all the features of my tablet working with the Linux distribution (such as camera and GPS). That being said I do care about the Bluetooth working as I have a Bluetooth keyboard!


texts:
I have 2 Google accounts.

When I was first hooking up cloud printing, I connected my printer with account A and then shared it with B.

I then realized that I preferred to have cloud printing go through account B.  I deleted the printer from account A and connected it to B.

I can now cloud print through account B, but the account A printer still shows up (greyed out).  Worse yet, it's the default printer.  So, every time that I cloud print, I have an extra 2 clicks.

How do I delete a cloud printer that it is no longer to be "shared" with me or, at least, change which cloud printer is the default?

texts: Change Facebook (and others) photo saving folder

texts:
I'd like to ask a question about the facebook app (but it is not only one that does this).
Currently, when I save any photo from facebook, it saves into /DCIM/Facebook.

Now I would not normally care where the photos are stored as long as Gallery app sorts them right, but the fact it goes into DCIM folder makes it behave wrongly with the Google Photos app.

Google Photos treat all those Facebook saved posts as "Camera photos" and tries to synchronize them to server, which I obviously do not want (I store photo albums on GPh, I do not need meme pics among them) and I cannot refine the synchronize options any more (only "Camera" is chosen to sync).

Is there a way to exclude those downloaded pictures from sync? Or make Facebook save its downloads to, say, /Pictures/Facebook ?

Same as above also happens in DCIM/Screenshots while clipping parts of screen.

Phone is Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Android 6.0.1

Thanks in advance

texts: Where is "Back up my data" stored? Can it be edited?

texts:
Anybody know how to get to it? It's not on the Google Dashboard, or linked to from the developer docs. I've even dug through the code, but it's confusing. Anybody know a way to download it, and better yet, upload a replacement?

For context: My phone sometimes starts acting weird (random hangs and/or reboots), and one theory is that some part of my backup is getting periodically corrupted, because even with a hard reset some problems persisted, but went away when I cleared "Back up my data" before doing another factory reset. Now that things have started to get weird again, I'm wondering if I could download that backup data and keep just certain parts of it.

texts: Battery level on Asus eee pad Transformer with dock

texts:
I'm wondering if anybody knows how the battery level is measured on the Transformer when the dock is connected.

I fully charged the other day, and after few hours of use the battery level was still 100%, so my first thought is that first uses the dock battery until this one is empty and the continues with the tablet's battery.

Can anyone confirm/deny my guess about the battery level measurement on this tablet?

Also, does it work the same when you charge the tablet though the dock, that is, starts charging the dock and when is fully charged continues with the tablet?


texts: Basic question about flashing nandroid backups

texts:
I want to know that when we flash specific partition images (say system.img, data.img, cache.img, etc.), then how does the software know where exactly to put those partition bytes? For example, if I flash system.img, which CHS/LBA sector will it consider as beginning of that block? If it is based on the MBR/EBR1 tables, what will happen if I'm flashing the MBR/EBR1 too?

The reason I'm asking is that I want to change the partitioning in EBR1 slightly, so that more space is allocated to /data partition instead of /sdcard. I've got an old but good conditioned MediaTek (MTK-6577) based smart-phone called Karbonn-A30 which is great in build quality and almost every other aspect, but it only has 500MB of Internal Storage (/data partition in Linux lingo) which is not good enough for apps. Presently, the MBR and EBR1 partitions are thus:

$disktype MBR
--- MBR
Regular file, size 512 bytes
DOS/MBR partition map
Partition 1: 2.000 TiB (2199023255040 bytes, 4294967295 sectors from 1024)
  Type 0x05 (Extended)
Partition 2: 10 MiB (10485760 bytes, 20480 sectors from 18432)
  Type 0x83 (Linux)
Partition 3: 10 MiB (10485760 bytes, 20480 sectors from 38912)
  Type 0x83 (Linux)
Partition 4: 650 MiB (681574400 bytes, 1331200 sectors from 113152)
  Type 0x83 (Linux)

$disktype EBR1
--- EBR1
Regular file, size 512 bytes
DOS/MBR partition map
Partition 1: 376 MiB (394264576 bytes, 770048 sectors from 1443328)
  Type 0x83 (Linux)
Partition 2: 1.293 GiB (1388314624 bytes, 2711552 sectors from 2213376)
  Type 0x83 (Linux)
Partition 3: 1.998 TiB (2196501691904 bytes, 4290042367 sectors from 4924928)
  Type 0x83 (Linux)

Why this last partition which corresponds to /sdcard is left so large (1.998 TiB) is beyond my understanding! Since there is a good 2.5GB of space available on my actual /sdcard partition, I was thinking if I can alter the EBS1 and change the LBA addressing so that the third partition starts from 2097152 additional sectors (which comes to 1024MB or 1GB which is good enough for me), will it automatically increase my /data partition by 1GB and decrease the /sdcard by 1GB correspondingly? On XDA and other forums, I've read that people have successfully done this mod and achieved the change in partition sizes, but I first want to understand how it happens.


texts:
I'm using Lenovo A7000 with Lollipop and I can't create new folders on SD Card. Attempt to create folder on SD card always end with error, however, android phone is not going to tell me what error it is. Attempt to use ADB from ubuntu terminal ended with lines below:

#Attempt 1
garrom@GarromMachine:~$ adb shell mkdir /storage/sdcard0/test_folder
mkdir failed for /storage/sdcard0/test_folder, Out of memory
#Attempt 2 with alternative folder path
garrom@GarromMachine:~$ adb shell mkdir mnt/sdcard/test_folder
mkdir failed for mnt/sdcard/test_folder, Out of memory

However, obtained error message is not somehow helpful because I have exactly 12362047488 bytes of free space. That is more than enough of space for empty folder. Even stranger, I can create or manipulate files just fine. I already tried formatting from phone itself, which is useless because phone format my SD card to fat16 which is obviously not good for 16Gb big SD card. I tried to format from Windows using Mini tool partition wizard and from Ubuntu using GParted, always same result,except formatting from phone but fat16 is too small and I had using Fat32 before without problems. I was using same SD card in same phone with same format before OTA update bricked my phone and I was forced to wipe out everything and flash in stock rom. Does someone know, how to be able to create folders once again ?After further research i noticed it sometimes let me create folder and sometimes not ... Thinking about it, it looks almost like writing from Ubuntu(XFce, Thunar) temporarily disable ability to create new folders. I have two partitions on my sd card. one is named DATA(fat32,11.5Gib) and is meant to be my personal storage, second one is named APPS(ext4.9Gib) and is meant to work with App2SD app. I had same setup before without any problems, except, I was windows user before, I was writing files to sd card via usb cable from Windows before I started using Ubuntu....... but I was writing files from ubuntu as well before OTA update bricked my phone and  I had to flash in stock rom. This whole problem is generally weird...

texts: Automatically setup network config ifcfg-eth0?

After I connect a USB network adapter to the phone I can configure it using ifconfig:

Or is there any way I can set the config in kernel build process?

I know this is normally defined in ifcfg-eth0 that can be found in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ or /etc/network/interfaces but it looks like android does not have this. As we use netcfg in android I looked up the netcfg profiles manual but /etc/network.d/${profile_name} also does not exist.

texts:
So on linux, I use transparent mode of mitmdump (mitmproxy without interaction) to build a websites filter and I run it as root on startup so that it cannot be killed if the user does not have sudo permission.

So I want to setup a similar thing for smartphone. It should be standalone rather than say, connect to Internet through PC and let PC does all the work. I am new to Android so forgive me if I am asking stupid questions. My questions are

Many apps like Orbot seem to have HTTP/HTTPS transparent mode (Please recommend if you know something more similar to mitmproxy). But they are GUI based. How do I convert them (or if there exists already) to a silent background service like mitmdump?
Do any of them allow me to add codes like https://docs.mitmproxy.org/stable/addons-scripting/ either directly in the source code or as an automatically called add-on? (Basically, each time a request/response arrive, my function should be triggered to decide whether or not to replace/block it)
If there is no apps similar to mitmproxy, what tools do I need to create such an environment (assuming that I only want to deal requests/responses at HTTP/HTTPS level)?

I do not need to assume any particular Android versions. I just need to make things work first on some version. Please point me to the correct background materials if you feel that they take too long to explain.

Thank you.

texts: App ratings adjusted for numbers of votes?

texts:
Rankings of apps by rating are typically useless because the app ratings are not adjusted for numbers of votes, and therefore the top of the ranking is invariably saturated with many screenfuls of 5-star apps each having only a handful of votes, thus obscuring apps with slightly lower ratings but much higher numbers of votes.  Needless to say, the latter ratings are vastly more reliable.  These are the apps I'm trying to find.

Does anyone know of an Android app search service that allows ranking results by app ratings somehow adjusted for numbers of votes?  (E.g. use the standard rating minus 1 or 2 standard deviations.)

texts: How to get memory dumps, when internal memory (/data partition) is damaged?

texts:
(Sorry for my english)
My phone, Samsung galaxy S3 16 GB wasn't rooted and installed custom recovery. Someday, it appears on the screen that "internal storage is damaged". So I want to backup internal storage, attempted flashing twrp and rooting the phone through CF-autoroot, but it unable to mount /data in twrp.

To create a internal memory dump, I find this article.

https://dfir.science/2017/04/Imaging-Android-with-root-netcat-and-dd.html

I tried to this.

adb devices
:: List of devices attached
:: 4300********061 recovery

/data directory is empty.

adb shell
su
:: permission denied

I think phone isn't properly rooted. Installing a supersu.zip from twrp, it says "install failed".

adb forward tcp:8888 tcp:8888
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 | busybox nc -l -p 8888
nc 127.0.0.1 8888 > android.dd

It created a dump file of 3.5 GB size on windows, although internal memory had 15 GB in use. And mounting the dump file from OSFMount is failed.

In this situation, is it possible to get a full memory dump of internal storage, specially /data partition?

Update.

Retry dumping of /data partition, and view this dump file from testdisk in linux. It worked.

texts: Changed device lock code after encryption, and now it says data is damaged. Is this a bug?

After this, i changed it to a numeric lock code for convenience. Everything worked well until i power it off.

As far as i know, android encryption is implemented using luks and cryptfs, so i might be able to download dthe partition and decrypt it. Unfortunately, I also deactivated ADB and unrooted the phone, so i just erased everything. Is this a bug, or i did break the keys when i changed my password protection?


texts: How do I force a new DHCP IP address on my Android?

texts:
I have a Linux system with the default DHCP server (ISC) and an Android phone Galaxy J7 which connects and gets its IP address from the DHCP server.
Right now, the Galaxy J7 was allocated an address automatically, but I'd like to force assign a different one. I've changed the settings in the DHCP server and I know those work since I had those used before and it was just fine. Now I changed the network IP address for my new WiFi router so the device was assigned a new IP automatically before I changed the setup to force the static IP.
How do I force the phone to pick the new IP address? I tried for forget the WiFi setup and re-enter it, but the exact same IP was re-assigned. So I think that the server memorize that IP. I looked in the leases:
less /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases

and I can't find the IP of my phone!?
I tried to restart the server too, but that usually doesn't help at all and guess what... It didn't do anything about the existing lease (and yet it's not in the list of leases!)
So I'm at a loss.
For Linux, I've seen that you can use dhcpclient -r and then dhcpclient to reassign a new IP. But for the Android, Termux says those commands do not exist. I probably need to properly reset on both side...
Someone has done that successfully before?

texts: My OS and phone freeze and lag every time the blue "Show CPU Usage" bar appears. What is it?

texts:
Lately, I've been experiencing the very unpleasant phenomenon of my almost new S3 completely locking up and stopping responding to input. It's like a very serious lag that has to either be waited out, or the phone needs to be rebooted by force. Whenever this happens, my underlying apps still work, albeit laggily because CPU spikes through the roof but I cannot interact with my phone - it doesn't react to my touches. If I try forcing it, it only wastes more CPU power on, well, nothing. I am 100% certain that my touch screen is ok - it works as intended in all other cases. When it locks up (and it does so for 10 minutes at a time if not more - I hadn't had the patience to wait longer) I can pull out the battery and reboot that way. The curious thing is, however, that once put back in, the battery will have around 10% less charge in it, every time, unless I pull it out in the first 30 seconds of the lag. It's like its CPU spikes so high through the roof it uses up 10% of my battery in next to no time on operations I cannot identify.

I have activated Show CPU Usage as I suspected the CPU might be overtaxed, and have come to the definitive conclusion that every time these lockups happen, a huge blue bar appears in the Show CPU Usage graph. As soon as it goes away, everything is peachy again.

I have looked it up, but could find no answer more detailed than this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10829546/how-to-read-the-stock-cpu-usage-data

My question is - what is the blue bar precisely, and how can I find out what's causing it. Mind you, whenever this happens and my CPU is past 100%, none of the apps listed under the bar actually have a usage higher than 2%. This is not app based, this is something in the OS or the underlying hardware that's malfunctioning - my initial guess was that the internal memory got corrupt somehow and is taking too long to read/write, but I'm just speculating.


texts:
With earlier versions of Android there was the option to connect your mobile phone via USB cable with your windows PC and enable "USB Internet" to share the internet connection from your PC with your phone (in case you don't have Wi-Fi nor Mobile Data). But with Android 6.0, this option is no longer available from the settings.

Is there a way to a) enable this setting again or b) to share the internet connection (reverse tethering) via additional mirroring apps (all without hacking/rooting the phone)?


texts: How do I set a default application that gets used without enquiry?

texts:
Say I've got that app that allows me to make phone calls over my private WiFi network (FRITZ!App Fon if that matters).

Every time I'm going to make a call, Android asks me which application to use: the (system) phone app or the FRITZ! app. Usually, it's no problem to pick one of the two, but it is problematic when driving: with my Bluetooth equipment, I'm able to start a call without taking the hands off the steering wheel. Better: I would be able. Because every time I'm going to start a call, I have to select which app to use.

So I have to pick my phone, unlock it (while driving) and select the app to use.

Is there any way to set the default application for a task so that I don't have to pick one every time I want to do something (i. e. always use the system phone app when making calls).

Extra bonus: a rule-based setting would be great (only provide the option to choose that WiFi phone app when I'm actually connected to my home WiFi or when BT is off).

texts: Bug report and Settings crash on Nexus 4

My Nexus 4 is rooted with stock ROM (version 4.4.4) and custom recovery TWRP. Recently it automatically generated some bug report: one is a png image (just a blank screen in black) and another text file in 9MB. Since it's a huge file, what should I look for in the text file?

Also there is another problem on my Nexus 4: Settings keeps crashing when an app is selected under Settings/Apps with error message : "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." It's described in details here. I'm not so sure if the two problems are related. I've tried to re-flash the factory image of 4.4.4, but the problem remains.

texts: Installing app from Market when it was previously installed

texts:
I'm developing an app that was just released. Prior to release, I had 10 or so testers that helped me test the app and had test versions on their phones. Now I want them to install the app from the Market so they can be some of the first people to (fairly) rate the app.

The problem is, even after uninstalling the test version of the app, when trying to get it from the market an error pops up saying that "there was an error creating your order." They can't install it. Is there something I or they can do about this?

Update: I told the testers to follow the instructions under Troubleshooting Download Issues -> "Download unsuccessful" message. This did not work.

texts: In Android 10, is there a way to prioritize notifications (i.e. their lockscreen order) WITHIN the alert category?

texts:
In Android 7 (Nougat), there was a special option that allowed for improved granularity in managing notification order, see e.g. this report. I made extensive use of this feature but, alas, it has been dropped. Now on Android 10, I only find two notification classes, "alert" and "silent/gentle".

I have a lot of calendar reminders and messages that are both required to be alerted to me. However, I need the messages (Slack, Whatsapp, etc.) to be ON TOP of all the other notifications, especially on top of the calendar reminders, so that incoming messages do not get lost among the many reminders of a day.

Previously, in Android 7, this was readily feasible by giving the messenger apps "highest priority" and the calendar app "second highest priority". Both generated palpable alert notifications, but the messenger notifications would always be moved to the top and remain there, even as new calendar reminders come in. Currently, the only way to move the reminders below the other notifications is to classify them as silent, which defies their very purpose.

Is there any way to change the order of notifications on a per-app basis within the alert category on android 10? I looked extensively for an Xposed module or custom rom that could do that. So far, in vain. Help very much appreciated!


texts: Data usage slider missing in Android Lollipop

texts: After upgrading my Galaxy S5 to Android 5.0, the sliding bar on the graph which allows you to show data usage for a prescribed date range is no longer there. For example, in the older Android I was able to slide the bar to show data usage for the last 24 hours, or for whatever range of days I wanted- it was so easy and fast. I understand that there is an option to change the date range in the options, but this is more time consuming and you need to change it every time you want to show a different range- the slider was so much easier and faster. Is there any way to bring this back or perhaps an app that has this feature? I don't understand why several useful features have been removed in the new update, as I mention in my other question here.

texts: How should I correctly turn on my phone?

texts:
This is regularly driving me nuts. Every once in a while, my phone freezes for whatever reason. I press and hold the power button to shut if off. Now comes the part that's giving me trouble.

If I just press the power button, nothing happens.
If I press and hold the power button, at some point a picture of a battery appears. It will disappear again after a while (probably because I'm still holding the power button and shutting the phone back off)
If I press and hold the power button and release it when the battery image appears, the image will stay and indicate that the battery is being loaded.
If I press and hold the power button for just the right amount of time, the Galaxy S2 logo appears and my phone boots.

So, usually I find myself going through this cycle a couple of times until I finally get my phone booted. What am I doing wrong?

texts: Is it possible to keep the user data with a smartphone that boots to the data wipe menu?

texts:
My smartphone turns on without passing the OS loading screen, then loads the recovery menu (Redmi-Recovery 3.0). I can't turn off the device, I tried waiting for the battery to run off, charge it and turn it on again, it still can't boot properly. In fact, it won't stay turned off even when the charger is first inserted after the battery has been depleted.
The phone is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9, OS is MIUI (not sure which version), the menu items are: system reboot (reboots and gets back to this screen), connect to PC with the Mi Assistant (I tried to use the Mi PC Suite, but the device isn't detected, I guess because USB debugging is off on the device), wipe memory (I guess this wipes the system partition along with all the files).
I think my only option is is to wipe everything and hope that it will then boot properly. I was wondering if there is a way to only "restore" the operating system, without touching the user's data (I think I've seen something of this sort both on Linux ans Windows before).
I am also concerned about the phone not staying turned off (I am a bit scared the battery controller is gone for some reason).
Since I have a backup phone that I can use I'm planning of waiting on this question for a week or so and see of something comes up.


texts: How to install Android Pay in non eligible countries

texts:
I've just discovered that Android Pay is available in Poland since November, and I happen to have a card from an eligible bank.
The only problem is, that I live in Germany, where unfortunately this app can't be installed from the Play Store. But I'm going to Poland this weekend, which means I'll have a legit polish IP address.
I'm guessing that's not enough. Do I need to factory reset my phone with a polish SIM-Card inside of it (I have a prepaid one)? Or do I need a Google account, which somehow is associated with Poland (I actually created mine 10 years ago when I used to live in Poland)? Or is that not the right approach, and I have to do something else?

P. S.: I have a Nexus 5X bought in Germany (It also says "DE" on the packaging)

texts:
I have an LG G5, and I recently took a video of 5 minutes with it (the maximum) which appeared to be corrupted.

The phone stopped the video alone since it arrived to the maximum recording time, and started saving - something that took some pretty long minutes.
After a while of not touching my phone (to not accidentally interrupt the saving) I wanted to watch the video and realized it's corrupted and can't be open.

In the file explorer, I found two files in the format of DATE_TIME.mp4 (1.6GB) and DATE_TIME_temp.mp4 (0KB).

Any possible (free) way to fix this video?
How can I make sure it won't happen next time?

Thanks!

texts: What controls the text preview in notifications?

texts:
I am new to Android (on Samsung S7 now), and trying to understand the basic (so that I can drill more into details later).

My notifications (emails) show the sender and email title, but not the email body preview (the iOS lock screen showed a few lines of the email body). I have "content preview" enabled on device settings.

What controls the amount of information displayed in previews?

Is this a device/ROM setting that all notification apps have to adhere to?
Is it the underlying email client application?
Or is it the notification application itself?

In other words, in order to see email body preview in notifications, should I be looking for a different email client, different notifier, or different ROM?

texts:
I have a galaxy s3 SGH-t999l which is the t Mobile G3 LTE version. I'm rooted using the root 66 MK4 stock recovery tar in odin. I'm running TWRP recovery as well.

The problem is that I cannot get wireless tethering/hotspot to work no matter what I try- here are the things I've already tried-

Wifi Tetherr Treve Mod - I've tried nearly every version of Wifi Tether as well, with  nearly every possible setting. Tried setting it up with s3 profile, with galaxy nexus profile, etc.
All this ever does is start with errors, tell me to check the log and then when I do tell me that there is no log file.

Native Hotspot mod - this is an odin tar that is supposed to work, but there's no version for my baseband (Mk4), just MK3 and all that does is make android hang at boot to where I have to reflash android back to the t999l root66 MK4 stock.

Wifi tethering 4.3 enable- there are a number of these, from zip files to install in cwm to directions on what files to edit and how in the android system. Nothing has worked.

I got this app Wifi Tether Router that supposedly worked, but while I can get it to actually start up without any errors, as far as I can figure wlan0 doesn't exist. When I do a netcfg in terminal no wlan0 entry appears, at least.

I can currently use FoxFi to tether with a usb cable and pdanet, so I'm not that pressed I'd just like to figure out how to get it to work.

I have a Nexus 4 running Android 4.3 [OTA came on July 29 \m/] and I use the stock e-mail app called "EMail" (I don't like Gmail app).

Since I have OCD, I open the browser, delete the mails and remove the label. This is a bit irritating as I have to do this every day.

texts: How can I stop Lollipop ignoring my wifi network?

texts:
Android 5.0 has a new "feature": If a wifi network has no connection to the internet, it will remain connected to it but route traffic over mobile data instead. A small exclamation mark shows in the status bar over the wifi symbol.

Unfortunately, for some reason Android has decided that my home wifi does not have a good internet connection - which is not true, as I'm using it to access Stackexchange at the moment - and is, instead, trying to send everything over GPRS.

With mobile data disabled, things work over wifi just fine, despite the exclamation mark - so it isn't a problem with the wifi not working, per se.

Is there any way to override this "smart" feature? The only way I have found to make things work at the moment is to disable mobile data while I am in my house - which is not a practical long-term solution.

EDITING to add that I have now solved this problem by buying a new router! I was using something very old... But, I'll leave the question here for the benefit of anybody else with the same difficulty.

texts: Connecting Android Devices to Windows 7 via Bluetooth

texts:
I'm trying to connect both of my Android devices to my Windows 7 laptop, to see what I can do with them (file transfer, bluetooth tethering, etc.)

Here is the hardware I'm working with:

Samsung Series 5 Laptop - Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 / fully patched

Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) 3.0 + High Speed Adapter
Driver: Intel - 2011/12/09 - 1.0.90.20620

Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Google official Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean (unrooted)
Asus / Google Nexus 7 with Google official Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean (unrooted)

The pairing process between the Android devices and Windows 7 works flawlessly. Here is what I'm doing to pair them:

Put the Android device into discoverable mode (Settings --> Bluetooth --> Tap device name)
Open Devices and Printers on Windows 7
Click Add Device
Select Android device in device list and click Next
When the pairing code is displayed, confirm on Windows 7 and Android device
Pairing is complete

The devices are paired. However, they never seem to connect to each other. I see the device's icon switch between being greyed out and opaque, on Windows 7 Devices and Printers briefly, and eventually it just goes grey. No matter how much I tap on the Windows 7 computer's name in the list of paired devices on the Android device, it does not re-establish a connection.

One function that I tested successfully, is sending a file using Bluetooth File Transfer (fsquirt.exe). When I attempted to send a file to one of my Android devices, initiated from that utility on Windows, the Android device prompted me to accept the file transfer. The Bluetooth icon on Android was still greyed out, however, which indicates to me that the devices are not connected to each other persistently.

Bottom line: Does anyone know how to use Android Bluetooth features with Windows 7?

I've been using the Resolution Changer app to set my screen resolution, as I find it makes a huge difference in screen real estate and aesthetics. But a couple of apps don't seem to like it (menus appear strange, some text not displayed at all etc).

Is there a way (app, setting etc) to make it so that specific apps run on specific resolutions or at least, a screen resolution/density changer that lets you choose apps on which to ignore that setting?

My goal is to be able to have a specific resolution set for certain apps and have others display in the original resolution my phone has in its factory setting.

I'm hoping that's possible as I remember running custom ROMs on previous Android phones I've had that had different resolutions for some applications.


texts: A question about Android recovery bootup sequence

texts:
What exactly gets copied into the /recovery partition when I execute the following command:

fastboot flash recovery <my_recovery_image>.img

As per my understanding, the recovery image contains the kernel image and the ramdisk (initrd.img). So these should go into the /boot partition (am I right?). So, what is the content of /recovery partition after flashing the device with custom recovery when I explicitly specify recovery partition argument in the fastboot command? Or the /boot and /recovery partitions have separate versions of kernels and ramdisks, where /boot partition ramdisk would help load the operating system image from /system partition? If this is true, does that mean there are more than one init.rc scripts? (one to mount some partitions during recovery boot-up and the other for normal OS boot-up)?

texts: FB Messenger - How to get around the extreme photo/video compression resulting in poor quality?

texts:
I often send photos/videos to my friends on Messenger. The problem is that FB's algorythm compresses them so badly it really affects their enjoyability. I send HD videos, and they get something like it was 2000. I send high quality photos of a document and they can barely read it.

Is there a way to turn off image and video compression in Facebook Messenger?
If not, is there any app/extension for sharing original quality images and videos that is convenient to use both for me and the receiver?

texts: Red exclamation mark when trying to update Nexus 7.

texts:
Every time I go to update my Google Nexus 7 to Android Jelly Bean 4.2, it fails and shows the Android logo on it's side with red exclamation mark (!) on.

Why won't it let me update to Jelly Bean 4.2?

Has anyone else had this issue before?


texts: After updating my Nexus 7 to the latest version of Android (4.4.4 at this point), Windows decided that it would no longer show the device in Explorer in MTP mode. PTP worked fine, but obviously this is no good for putting files into the device. How do I solve this?
