Stock Rom Rooted Using "root66"

I have just noticed in my "Frozen List" (via ROM Toolbox App Manager) that "SecPhone" is Frozen. I honestly do not remember messing with this at all. I am not the type of person to just "Test" things without researching it for at least a few hours via XDA and Google. I am sure I could have accidently Frozen it, but I have not taken note of it like I usually do when I make changes (in a notebook). I have no clue how long it has been like that and I have not noticed anything different about my phone.
I searched Google and XDA to find ANY information on this, but all I was able to find is something to do with a MOD that can be done to it to change the increasing ring volume on incoming calls. I also found information about someone using it to change the color of the "Answer Button" on an incoming call. I was wondering if someone could help me further to understand exactly what this is and what it does.
Issues:
None that I am aware of.
Nothing that I have noticed.
Questions
What is: SecPhone - com.sec.phone - SecPhone.apk-1 - Sec.Phone.apk ?
What is it's functions?
Is this bad that it is frozen?
What effects can it have on the device? (good/bad)
What would you do?

Was wondering the same thing myself. When I look at the list of running applications I see this service running under another service called syncmlsvc. I've been trying to find if this is a necessary service or is it safe to freeze.
I've always frozen com.sec.phone on every phone I've rooted without any problems.
The reason I would freeze it, is because it always showed up under Running Apps, and I had no clue to it's function.
If I don't know what it's doing, and it doesn't hurt my phone to freeze it, then it gets frozen.
My GSII still has this frozen and it's been over a year easy, no problems..
I think you will find the answer here on w w w.group-ssi.com website
"Secphone Mobile is a full-secured phone which is designed and certified not only to prevent any kind of eavesdropping of communications on all bearers (Voice, Data…) and networks (ISDN, PSTN, GSM, 3G, satellite), but also to prevent any data theft for industrial espionage.
Secure your conversations on 3g
With Secphone®-Mobile, wireless calls are potected against any attempt of interception.
Cryptographic elements are managed in a sartcard, offering a very high level of security.
Secphone Mobile is the first solution able to rovide a total security for communicating mobile evices on UMTS, with “on air” encryption for Voice
over IP and Data.
Secphone Mobile is also shipped with embedded ata encryption PIM module for files, personal iformation and emails.
A strong box security layer
Scphone®-mobile is based on the CryptoSmart tchnology, a Javacard applet implementing a fully idependent cryptosystem from the handset. It povides high-level security (AES 256 bits encryption uing dual session keys – regenerated at each connection – RSA 1664 bits authentication, with Diffie-Hellman challenge)."
is this a third party app. I have 2 versions of the same on the phone. com.sec.phone. The first one is a 3.7MB app that is a android system app and the second one had a green bug sign which has the uninstall version frozen(12KB). It has full access to the phone including contacts/cam/calls etc and has also no option for switching off the notifications in the settings/notifications option.

Hi all,
The effect I'm looking for:
While an open phone call, I'd like to be able to play sounds into the call stream so that (similiarly to the in-call DTMF tones) the sounds would be heard by the other party.
My questions:
1) Is this possible without modifying phone.apk (or what ever system .apk needed to gain access to the call stream)? Does it help if the device is rooted?
2) If not, is it at all possible? What would it take to achieve such an effect?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Need a solution too, looking into reflection.
This is rather old but I was wondering if there's any news? I searched for anything related to call, stream, DTMF etc. in XDA and everywhere else I could think of.
So far I found nothing. Is there really no way to send tones up the call stream?
I'm looking into the source code to see whether I can use some reflection, even just to see if it works. The best bet seems like CallManager..
It has 'SendDtmf' and 'StartDtmf' that automatically goes to the active call, gets the active phone from it and shoots up the tones.
HOWEVER I got stuck. Both methods keep returning false. Digging into it you see that both methods check whether there are any active calls before sending anything. So I tested it myself and here lies the issue - 'HasActiveFGCalls' (and HasActiveBgCalls too) returns false no matter what.
In fact, getting the full call list (getForegroundCalls) always gives me an empty list.
I tested it on my phone (SGS, CM7) and on the emulator on several versions. Same results - always no active calls regardless of whether the phone is in a call or not.
I'm at a loss here. Seems like this is as far as I can go with my knowledge at the moment.
So... anyone has any clue regarding this?
I bought tasker and am loving its vast functionality. I've setup various profiles to suite myself. But, I'm having a problem with one and hoped that someone might have a solution or an alternate suggestion for me? the Profiles Name @Home_Early_Hours (11:30 to 06:30 SUN-THURS). It enables itself during the prescribed times/days when it detects that it's near my local home cell towers and is near/connected to my home WIFI.
I don't want my mobile to ring during the early hours of the night and would like to switch my device into Airplane mode to save on battery, but, I'd also like to still receive any calls that I get (in case of emergencies - as I've elderly parents ) so I've tried to setup auto forwarding on my mobile number to my home phone.
I can enable the auto forward using Tasker->Call *21*[phone number]# and disable using it again (exit task) Tasker->Call #21#
Unfortunately, Android responds to these commands with pop-ups "Call forwarding service enable/disable...etc" which take the focus from the running tasker task and appear to require manual acknowledgement in order to remove them, which obviously defeats the point of the automated task!?
I've noticed that the hard back button (<-) also gets rid of the pop-up, so alternately do you know of any way that I can get tasker to send one of those instead of acknowledging it as that might be easier? Annoyingly, I've read that Android won't allow us to manipulate the buttons for security reasons so this might not be possible.
So the only way that I can think of acknowledging the pop-up is to somehow simulate or action a screen touch, as the pop up always appears in the same place?
Does anyone know of any way I could get tasker to auto acknowledge the pop up? or get round this problem. Or has anyone else created a similar profile using a different approach?
There's a Tasker Wiki solution for the auto forward task http://tasker.wikidot.com/call-forwarding but it doesn't cater for the pop-up that I'm getting, so I'm assuming that this worked on an earlier version and maybe the pop up is a new Gingerbread thing?
Many thanks for any response, it's much appreciated.
Bump!
Someone? Anyone? please..
In case you're reading on mobile...

I have mine set up to hit the back button a couple seconds after forwarding calls, but this only works if the screen is on. Now, if I could get it to turn on and unlock(no code) the screen...
Whenever i say that new smart phones aren't really phones, but actually entertainment devices that make calls, everyone nods and agrees. But what if there was a way to reverse that so they only made calls and pretty much nothing else? I'm looking to find a "safe mode", in which lots of services and drivers aren't even loaded.. ever. A good example of its use would be when i needed to drive 4 hours away for a funeral. I had no need for twitter and angry birds, I just needed to freely communicate with relatives. Another example is being stranded on the highway cause of dead car battery. Most Evo users would be clinging to dear battery life. Sometimes we want to be saturated with features, and other times we would be just fine with a classic green screen phone that only needs a weekly charge.
Would it be possible to dual boot into a very minimalist rom? If i knew my phone had a mode for emergencies, i wouldn't be searching every inch of the web for juice saving tips. Is this possible? If so, which rom would accomplish this? Thanks.

I have an option on my DroidX and it might work for you. I think it is generic for Android phones.
From the dialer do *#*#4636#*#* and go into the phone menu and you can change the network or disable the data connection altogether. On my phone it makes and receives phone calls and text messages but nothing else.
There is sometimes a delay when I make a change, a few seconds, so be patient.
I have a feeling you could do some damage in this menu so make a note of anything you change.
Since you are rooted, you could also install Droidwall or something similar and be very selective about what applications you allow to have a data connection.
You can theoretically create a custom CM7 or AOSP ROM with only the essentials- the phone.apk, contacts.apk, mms.apk, settings, and their corresponding supporting files/ framework.
Mind you, the screen would still be the biggest battery drain. And there comes a question of dual booting (which should be possible in my phone at least, with Magldr...).

Hello! Long-time lurker, first time poster.
I have a sudden problem with my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S6 running Android 7.0). Hopefully you bright gentlemen and gentle-ladies can help me:
Approximately 1 week ago (edit: 3 weeks ago), my phone stopped transmitting Voice data on phone calls. I cannot hear what the other user says on their phone, and they cannot hear me, however, pressing number keys DOES transmit the dial-tone to the other user (both ways). It does not matter if I call them or if they call me. It does not matter where I am physically, I have tried in several locations around the city (likely on several towers). It does not matter if they are using a mobile or land-line. (Addendum: Hangouts dialer functions perfectly with the hardware, before and after factory reset(s), Bluetooth headset works with Hangouts but not regular Phone)
During this time, all of my data connections work fine. Texts, Email and Browsing is unaffected. Phone performance is normal.
Since this has occurred, I have:
- Simulated battery disconnect
- Wiped Cache Partition
- Force-stopped the Phone app (all three instances)
- Verified the physical Microphone is working using the Voice Recorder app (it works fine)
- Booted the phone in Safe Mode
- Contacted my service provider to check in there was any problems with my account or transmissions.
- Transferred my Sim card to another device to test if my card/connection was ok. (Voice worked 100% on the secondary device)
- And lastly today (two weeks ago); Completed a Factory Reset
(Addendum:
- Flashed stock firmware from Sammobile via Odin
- Attempted to clean out the Microphones with toothpicks and blunt metal objects, just to be sure
- Plugged in and removed a wired headset as well as checking for debris)
I am sitting here now trying to understand how a hardware problem could possibly cause a failure of Voice encoding on only one app, and how to fix it. Or how a software problem survived the Factory Reset (and Firmware flash) into the fresh install. I did indeed try without any 3rd party apps being installed, without even adding my Google or Samsung accounts to the phone, just plain old Android; no dice.
Any suggestions?
I recall one fixing another phone that had a problem with its Capacitive Touch Screen being not sensitive enough/not reading presses problem by accessing a special menu that allowed me to re-download the driver. Is there anything like that for the Voice? (Addendum - I have looked at all the star ** codes available for this model and tried several, nothing has worked so far)
Thanks!
Thoughts today (Oct 31/17): I am not sure that flashing a custom rom is really what may fix the phone. I am willing to do so, but it is somewhat frowned upon by Canadian carriers (or at least it used to be). I was curious if it was a problem with Noise Cancellation or an SD Card problem as those are issues brought up when googling the issue. My current plan is to flash to a stock Android 6.0.1 and see if the phone works then. If so, then try the standard upgrade path. Any suggestions will be helpful!
Hi,
I have a relative well over 90, almost fully blind so can not see icons on screens but could about locate the phone. Currently spending a fortune on traditional calls and would like to be able to communicate via mobile. WiFi / internet access can be installed at very low cost. I am able to visit very, very infrequently so the software needs to be persistent and survive ROM updates etc.
Ideal Requirements:
1. When I am (and perhaps a few other preset users) calling on Viber or Whatsup any touch whatsoever answers. May be even auto answer.
2. Any other calls via whatever channels create no disturbance.
3. I am able to log in remotely to update device etc with no assistance whatsoever from the user. This functionality survives software updates bu the manufacturer.
4. If the user touches the phone it initiates viber/whatsup call to me and records what is happening and send it to me if I can not answer.
5. It has to be secure so remote access should be via encryption keys only to us and not the app service provider (I.e. akin to end to end encryption on viber/whatsup)
6. The app understands that the end user might be touching the phone in many different way and hence not respond to that during the call and say or 30 seconds after the call.
Realizing that chances are that there are no apps to satisfy those requirements. as a minimum:
Remote access and control software for the android such that:
1. I can start a whats up or Viber call from my mobile, then easily and quickly remotely "pick up" the recipient phone so that they do not have to do anything. This way the call between us could be started.
2. I can remotely log in, perhaps from PC for installing updates etc.
3. Persistent with regard to over the air android updates requiring no cooperation from the remote end user once set up.
4. It has to be secure so remote access should be via encryption keys only to us and not the app service provider (I.e. akin to end to end encryption on viber/whatsup)
(I understand that Skype has some auto answer features but would prefer viber / whatsup due to end to end encryption and better quality)
Also advice on handset also appreciated (loud clear voice and ability to have remote control software and viber / whatsup is a priority - no point in paying for 40MP camera or Virtual Reality capable CPU)
Advance thanks for any advice!

She is not happy with the way things are because:
1. Calls cost up to $100 per month.
2. She actually wants a mobile because everyone else has ... even though she would not be bale to use one.
I can see no reason why there should not be a software that would enable even people in her conditions to have some very limited use of a smart phone - for example as described above.
