I am looking for a piece of software that would be able to manage my wifi settings. It has to export/ import all settings via XML, including the wep/wpa passphrase as well as the username/pass credentials for accespoints with more sophisticated security.
I could only find applications with very basic import export functionalities.
I think I am not the only one here who changes the roms and makes full wipes of his phone on almost a weekly basis, so this would be extremely helpful.
Thanks a lot

Hi all,
new find this site
what I'm after is pretty simple - but I dont know how to go about it without getting involved in the complicated developer stuff.....
My organisation purchases many an SPV (orange XDA's) which we have to manually configure before giving to the end users with the following information:
Standard Desktop setting i.e. Today screen,
IE Favourites
New Connection settings (to our APN including a proxy server)
Minor configuration changes (i.e. backlight and power settings)
Is there a method of doing this without having to learn programming in .NET/Visual Basic etc etc.?
I dont think ROM images will work as quite often orange update the devices so the images dont work
I was thinking something like maybe a specific config tool which can be automated or scripting perhaps? dunno
any help appreciated - thanks muchly - Zoomee
Maybe something like SPB Backup ...
it allows you make a backup file that's an executable auto restore for the phone's entire memory.
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
Maybe you could take one phone ... set it up the way you need all the other ones to be setup... make an auto restore file ... then just run that on all of the other phones.... that should work?
I just went to the SPB site and I realized I actually meant to say SPB CLONE, not backup
Does anyone know of any software that would allow me to lock 'private' entries such as contacts, calendar, notes, etc...?
I am looking for similar functionality as in PalmPilot PDA's (palm has this by default and can get extra software called TealLock that enhances this feature.
I am not looking for the option to use a pass code to access the PDA/Phone as whole. I know that it is available on all PDA'a.
I want the phone to be open for general entries without a passcode. But require a passcode to see 'private' data and entries.
Also, not looking for software that creates a hidden file. I/we need specific actual enteries in contacts/calendar/notes to be inaccessible to the casual user. The rest of the device can be open/used without a password (or if chosen, to use the regular build-in pda software.
I found one software: PocketPrivacy. Have not had the chance to use it yet. I am surprised that I could not find any other software so far... would appreciate having the option to choose between softwares and functionalities.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has a solution!

you can try Hide my Stuff from TMN Software to hide many things
Hi Everyone,
I, like many of you, spend way to much time setting phones up over and over again. Since a big part of this is registry edits, I have built a web site that allows you to check off the registry options you want, which it then uses to create a downloadable CAB file to install that will contain all of those registry tweaks. This makes things completely reversible by uninstalling the CAB file.
Notes:
This is Beta. While I have used it, and it's a very basic process, it isn't commercial software by any means.
If you would like to add a new feature, post in this thread.
You may install more than one cab file created with this tool. Just use different names at the bottom of the form.
Without further delay, here's the site:
<edit> The tool has now moved to nowsci.com. If you have any issues, please let me know. </edit>
http://nowsci.com/registry-changer/
Thanks,
Ben
* hold for updates *
Update 1: HTML now renders mobile friendly, so you can use this straight from your device.
Update 2: Edit feature added.
Update 3: Can now manually specify string or integer.
Update 4 [11/17/2008]: Can now specify the app name for install, allowing the user to have more than one Registry Changer cab installed at any point in time.
Update 5 [03/27/2009]: Fixed some character flaws for input. Preparations for move to a new host.
Update 6 [04/22/2009]: Added a filter option.
The site now has the ability for the end user to add registry entries to the database.
Thank you very much. I believe the "Camera Enhancements" entry is mis-titled. Shouldn't it be Rotate Picture 90 degrees, not 180 degress?
Doh! I will fix that.
Also, just added all the registry entries from the Diamond Tweaks post.
What about the Bluetooth DUN profile adding to the list? - Mike
What's the registry entries for that? Happy to add them, or you can add them yourself now through the site.
What happens if you tweak a registry entry that does not exist on your specific device or rom?
Good question. For the most part, I would guess nothing. If there is nothing on your system looking for the registry entry, then it won't effect anything. That being said, that doesn't mean WM doesn't look for registry entries that aren't there. For instance, the following tweak:
Enable Vision Duration/Disconnect Popup
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2=16
Flags2 doesn't exist by default on most any WM6 phone. Adding it in, enables the disconnect.
Who added the "Mighty" tweaks? Is that a phone? Many of those seem like they should go in Misc. I might clean that up if those aren't specific to a phone.
Would it be possible to have a wiki of descriptions for each of these options? I know I could Google them one by one but I'm sure users would appreciate a single source.
Hmm, not a bad idea. I wonder if there was a spot on the xda wiki I could use for it since I don't have my own. I may end up integrating a detailed description field for each item with a question mark next to it. Unfortunatly I won't be able to define them all since people have added one's I've never used.
OK I have a request. I don't' so much mind tweaking the settings when I flash. However what does drive me nuts and keeps me from flashing is knowing I will have to reconfigure all my email accounts. I just use the default mail program, but what a pain going through and adding my 7 yes Seven email accounts every time I flash my phone. Is there a way to make a cab that would auto input all my account settings? The reason for so many accounts, is I have personal accounts, business accounts, email list accounts, car club accounts, and forum subscription accounts.
It would be awesome to be able to go to a site, or run an app where I could plunk in all my account settings, then create a cab store it to my SD card and whenever I flash, just run the cab and POOF all my accounts are setup.
Unfortunately, probably wouldn't be easy to make a cab. However, programs like Sprite Backup will do this for you. You can selectively restore your mail using SB, however I generally back up my phone once I get things the way I like it, then if anything goes sour, I hard reset, then restore.
any1 made an ultimate tweak.cab? maybe make your diamond seem as fast as a custom rom?????????????
then any hardreset.......

+1 on descriptions of each cab
Wow very nice! Thanks!
I suggest a field to make a *.cab regarding to any registry path/setting the user wishes (if the user is more technical).
without having to actually add to the public entry list.
This will allow the ability to:
1. not have to wait for the admin to add the specific entry
2. allows the author of the new *.cab to distribute their new edit on the fly.
3. give the admin to log & analyze the entries in the custom field to and determine more of the common *custom* entries the ppl may want. Thus not having to depend on explicit user input and emails all the time.
First - thanks for putting this together!
Quick question - I had it "enable" GPS coded photos...but I don't think it did? Shouldn't I have an option somewhere in my camera menu to activate this once I've installed the .cab? Additionally, I don't believe "enable landscape pictures" and "sport mode" worked - how do I know?
Many thanks!
Oh, and I forgot to mention (not that it matters???) that I'm on an HTC Touch Pro with Sprint - stock ROM. I'm new to all this, so I apologize if this is basic stuff.
My situation:
In my company we have about 30+ handsets currently running Android (standard and custom ROMs from XDA). The handsets include HTC Desire HD, HD2, Desire S and Desire Z. The users cannot be trusted not to brick the phones if they are allowed to download apps and modify them in anyway (not to mention they are business phones so shouldn't have facebook etc on them any way).
I've heard about admin tools which allow control of handsets remotely.
Requirements:
So, if possible, what i would like does something along the lines of...:
1: Blocks further apps from being added to the handset without a password
2: A lock to keep as many of the settings as is originally provided (wallpaper etc)
3: A master admin tool which i can remotely manage all the handsets from (download requested and approved apps, wipe, lock, locate and reset the phones if lost...etc)
What i have done before to stop the users adding further apps is register my email address to Android Market on all the phones, then changed the password using my desktop). While this stops new apps from being downloaded from the market, it does mean i cannot remotely roll out approved apps as they are no longer signed in to the account.
Is there anything out there which does any/all/some of the above?
Is there one tool which can manage all these tasks? Or will it have to be seperate apps like Norton Mobile Security (such as) etc?
Can anyone get their heads around this?
Thanks!
The market lets you download apps to a phone.
Lookout Security does all of the security tasks you want.
Thanks, that would take care of the remote wiping, locating and locking.
Does Android provide any corporate setup for administration of lots of handsets? Surely this is a niche in the market for some devs to jump on if there isn't something like that already.
And i know Android Market allows you to remotely download apps to multiple phones but i want to make it impossible to download through the phone itself. (so i can add apps but the user can't)
Something that performs like MFormation Enterprise Manager but avoiding the $20k price tag! (a tall order i know)

Hello,
Have you found any apps that fit your needs? Do you use them? If no, is your organization still interesting in mobile device management service?
I'm asking because I'm working for http://bloove.com (personal phone management service) and we're going to expand our offer to small and medium companies.
This new service will combine existing contact, sms, phone log and bookmark backup for personal phone with MDM features like centralized app management, location and wipe service etc.
We're looking for early adopters who will have a chance to add their custom requirements to the service and get this service for free for up to six months.
Please let me know if you're interested and want to discuss this further.
Thank you,

Moving to Q&A
I did something like this ...
I first installed openssh server, plus a script that checks a specific URL for remote access needs (had to do it that way since my carrier blocks connections on all ports).
The server side is a simple php script that you call like this: check.php?deviceid=[ID]. The script checks a DB to see if there is anything new for that device ID and acts accordingly. I implemented three features: Tunnel, Script, Install APK. So, If I want to install an APK to all devices, I just upload it on our webserver, and on the MySQL DB I add devices id = all, action=install, file=/apks/whatever.apk. If, for instance, I want to do something more complex on certain devices, I add: id = all, action=script, file=/apks/whatever.sh. I write the script, then all phones check for updates on this check.php every 5 minutes, if they find a script, they'll download and execute. If it's an APK, they'll download and install. If I insert a line with deviceID=[deviceid], action=tunnel, file=[PORT NUMBER], then the phone will SSH into a remote server and do a reverse port forward, on [PORT NUMBER]. Then I can just SSH into localhost:[PORTNUMBER] on the server, and I'll have a terminal inside the phone to do whatever I need.
This doesn't address the restrictions issue, but it does allow you to control the phones however you want.
Regards,
Almafuerte.
Hi developers, was just wondering if anybody could have used say a note2 to connect to oracle database and run a couple of queries. Is this possible or has it been under looked. Thanks
never use it like that ,i am sorry

TyphoonDBMS is a complex and efficient Java-based software (free) solution that enables user to easily access and manage tables on Oracle Database Servers.
Typhoon is a comprehensive and reliable application that was developed to assist user in managing the contents of Oracle databases, enabling user to add, edit or remove tables without needing to resort to SQL statements to get the job done.
To gain access to the utility, user first need to create an account using a preferred set of credentials, which will then be required to enter every time user wish to work with Typhoon.
The program allows user to connect to a local or cloud server, by providing the necessary information, including name, version, driver and service ID. user can also input the network details, specifically the host and port number, along with the username and password, or even the database URL. Prior to saving the configuration, user can test the connection to make sure everything is in order.
Once user connect to the Oracle database, Typhoon allows user to view its contents, namely the tables that it comprises. user can browse through them, select a record and update it. Similarly, user can add a new one, as the tool enables user to ‘Insert Number Data’, ‘Insert Blob Data’, ‘Insert Clob Data’, ‘Insert String Data’ or ‘Insert Date Data’.
Moreover, user can create a new table by defining the number of columns that user need, assigning it a name, then filling out the columns and rows with the information user wish it to store. All of this can be done without having to resort to SQL statements or commands. Other options include the ability to drop tables from the database.
This Java-based utility also offers user a series of SQL ‘Syntax References’, (statements and functions) and which user can analyze in detail, to learn how to better work with them, and then use them for your own purposes.
