Hello all!
Here is my question,
Is there any way to open up one specific app through a proxy, so as to spoof your country location?
I'm trying to use Pandora but I live in Canada and it is not available here.
Would it be neccessary to root my phone?
I have not gotten around to it yet as it's a pain in the ass, (LG Optimus Lte Telus, P935)
Any info and help would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, it's possible. And you more than likely need to root your device so that you can edit the iptables config. A quick google search reveals:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/proxydroid/org.proxydroid
Just try pointing it at an open proxy based here in the US. If that app doesn't fit your needs (it appears to only work for Pandora over WiFi), I'm sure there is no shortage of others.
Would it also be possible to change my location within my build.prop file?
I have never messed around with anything in there nor really looked into to it as of late.

If you'll be able to flash JF's rom can you post it or let us know any other way here
2 simple questions
Hello,
Hello,
I am thinking about buying myself T-mobile G1. What I need to know before that is:
firstly: is there any way to switch off constant internet connection on G1 as the internet services in my country are quite expensive and I would like to have control over them? I dont really need sync with my google account (I see some other advateges on this phone than "just" that) and would like to use Internet only when i really need it (not when G1 thinks I need
secondly: is there any way to update G1 OS via standard PC? As far as I heard each update weighs some MB, which i prefer to download on my PC and then to G1
I've been looking for answers to my questions over the Internet (xda developers etc) but didn't really find a direct answer.
Would appreciate your time and effort.
Yours Sincerely
Yes. By default only the t-mobile apns are set up. As long as you don't actually try to enable your networks apn, you won't get 3g\edge. You could just go in and delete all the apns just to make sure.
Yes. Google stores the update files on their websites and we usually find them a little after they come out. But you could just do everything over wi-fi including gmail, browsing, etc.
I've tried to search around to see if any apps are being developed in this area. In specific we use Checkpoint VPN-1 to connect to work, which uses a hardware key token as authentication. I'm not sure if this protocol is fairly standard and therefore a generic app could be used? Or if it has to be made specially.
I know they have a windows mobile application here: http://www.checkpoint.com/downloads/quicklinks/downloads_sr.html#scmobile
I'm sure porting it would be no easy straight-forward task, but if it is I hope to try once I receive my G1.
If something like this exists already please post too!
It looks like using debian on the G1 will allow a vpn connection, is there anything else to know about using a hardware key like this one? Sounds very promising...
I also need a VPN client on Android
I install vpnc on debian,but that doesn't make sense
at least there should be a proxy setting for all the applications
Found this as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447230
Using openVPN and stunnel
Unfortunately for me, I don't think I can use static config settings as the connection password continually changes and is supplied by the hardware key.
Bump,
Any other ideas on using hardware tokens with the G1?
Guess it's a slim hope, but checking back to see if anyone knows of any solutions for me here. Just got my G1 and looking for a way onto my work network from it.
You know when you're being worked to death when you're so busy that you need to be able to VPN into your work computer from your phone. Tell your boss he can wait until you get home when you aren't at work!
Haha! Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I'm on call...laptops and other computers work fine, but having access right on the cell would be amazing and convenient
I've been playing with the other solutions, but still not working for me, VPN-1 isn't the most compatible thing in the world...even no support for vista x64 (virtual machines to the rescue!)
Anyway, keep up the good work on development guys. Through just the sticky posts I've been able to unlock, register, root and install JF33 all within a couple hours and without a t-mobile sim. Phone was brand new right out of the box.
Aloha all,
I'm out in Hawaii, where there's a small carrier called Mobi PCS that operates just within the islands. Mobi accepts any esn on its network, but for data to work an off carrier phone must be manually flashed with the proper settings.
I'm trying to make a rom that OTA activates properly without having to be flashed. I have a few phones I've been trying this on. The problem is that the roms seem to want to write the parameters for their original carriers, even with the Mobi PRL flashed to the phone. For example, @mobipcs.com usernames for PPP or PAP get overwritten with @vzw.com, or @uscc.com. I'm not the most experienced developer, and I'm hoping someone here might be able to give me some insight into where I can modify this process.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Mahalo!

Ads for flashing phones or ads for modifying firmware? I flash phones if you need help with anything like mms.
I guess I'm more looking to automate the flashing process. I would like *228 to automatically flash the correct data settings, or I would like a script to run after it and finish the job.
I'm traveling on honeymoon right now and am having more problems than I expected getting my phone to work remotely. I was in London first, but was finally able to get my phone working with the "3" network.
Now I am in Malta and am having more problems. I purchased a "Go" card because the sales lady said that it would work, but after she activated it and I paid for it, she tried to add in the APN information and it wouldn't work.
I was using Cyanogenmod, but found I couldn't use GSM in London. So I installed CleanROM and was able to get that working. But now in Malta, I'm back to square one. In London I was able to use the program "HiAPN" to get the APN working. But it's not working here in Malta.
Any ideas out there?

I don't have a sure answer for you, but I'm taking an international trip shortly and have been looking into this problem before leaving so I can get data service abroad. So this is my plan, but be aware that I haven't actually used this yet to get service.
First thing, any AOSP ROM (Cyanogen, AOKP) will, as you found, not be able to get data service on GSM. You have to use a Touchwiz ROM.
The other problem is that the Verizon GS3 does not grant you the ability to edit your APNs manually. Verizon is supposedly going to fix this so you can edit APNs but I'm not holding my breath. In addition, as of Ice Cream Sandwich, Android does not allow apps to change your APN settings unless they are system apps.
So, our only option is to get an app that can change APN settings and convert it into a system app. HiAPN has this ability built-in and will make itself a system app if you OK it. There is a free app on the Play store that will make any app a system app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...pmover&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
There are other ways to do it but that one is free and the app only does one thing.
Now you need an app that can change your APN settings. Again, since I haven't actually taken my trip yet I don't know if this will work for sure, but I've been messing around with a few apps (including HiAPN) and the one I plan to use is this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5TSU1BUE5DaGVjayJd
Most of the APN changer apps I came across are meant mainly for use in countries other than the USA and I found a lot of them hard to understand (HiAPN especially, some menus are in Chinese, some in broken, misspelled English). That one is simple to understand. It's free, but there's a paid version that adds the ability to browse the app's APN database (I guess so you can look at it before you take your trip and make sure the provider you plan to use is included in the APN database). The free version will just look at the SIM that's in the phone and try to find the right APN settings. The app's APN database is stored on the phone so you don't need a data connection to change providers.
So, install Offline SIM APN Database, use System App Mover to make it a system app, restart your phone, then run it. It will warn you about Ice Cream Sandwich and newer Android versions not being able to change APN settings, but it will still let you try to do it, which should work now that you've made it a system app. The app author mentions this possbility in the app description. Anyway, run it, hit Search APN Settings for this SIM, check if the settings look right, hit Add These Settings, Yes, and that should do it.
Let us know if that works!
Hi all,
Looking for a firewall that can block specific applications on specific ports only. I have run through a heap of "Firewalls" on the Play store though cant seem to find one like this. Does it exist? I have been using AFwall/Droidwall for years and i love it though it cant seem to do this one..
Perhaps with a AFwall Custom script.. though i cant seem to work out how to make it apply to a single application.
It seems there was an awesome app that did it years ago called WhisperMonitor. http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/whispermonitor-stuart-anderson/
Though it seems to be abandoned..
Some advice would be appreciated.
guess not.. maybe just a specific IP??
