[Q] Timezones for specific applications. - General Questions and Answers

I know this topic has been previously mentioned slightly, but not exactly. I was wondering if their was an application or a way to give on application one timezone, and the rest of your phone another timezone. All the threads i read that touched this topic didn't have a direct answer. So, can i use adb or a third-party application to change my timezone for only a single (a group of apps works too) application?

[Q] Blocking Outgoing SMS for android

I apologize if I break some rule, I posted this in another thread but realized the topic concerned a G1. I am not allowed to post on the development thread due to my just joining.
I'd like to find an app that would block outgoing SMS text messages. I've tried to find one that would do such a thing and have been unsuccessful. I've also thought about creating my own but realized it is way beyond my level of comprehension.
The way I see it the app could run a script that if the particular number was detected would disable the radio for a certain period of time and delete the message before the radio coming back on. it would be password protected to allow control and prevent unauthorized use.
I want to do this because there is a particular number I no longer want to text. I've memorized the number so deleting the contact is not an option. I'm not looking for criticism about my weak constitution. You're not my psychologist. I'm just trying to find a way to resolve this issue before they have to change their number to avoid me.
If there is someone out there working on this I'd really like to find out about their progress. if not then a starting point on how to create this app.

[Q] SIP / VoIP Client Codecs

Hi all,
This thread pertains to the inbuilt Internet Calling feature on Gingerbread. By default, it uses g.711 but I use an audio broadcast unit which requires g.722.
Is anyone able to help me, with finding out where the prefs are for the default SIP client, and how to enable g.722 as Mon codec de preference?
Many thanks
Perhaps I should post this in Dev...
Well, according to the rules, I'm not allowed to post a development based question in the dev forum. Apparently "If it's not about a ROM, it's not allowed in the development area" - perhaps the 'Dev' area should be renamed 'ROMs', and a separate Development Area should be opened?! That way, serious questions won't get overlooked and moved down so quick with the masses of repeated questions from new members.
Anyway - thats my rant...
Here's my actual question - reposted:
Hi folks
OK, this isn't ROM related as such, but it is definitely development related, hence posting here. I'm not a programmer, but I know my way around config files etc. usually. What I'm trying to find out, is this:
Can I adjust the 'built-in' VoIP Client to use a different codec? There's no options available in software, but the config for the client must be somewhere - question is, WHERE would it be? If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'll report my findings
There's a few VoIP things I want to customise, but using the native client, rather than a third party app.
I'm not after a spoon-fed solution - just the clues where to look so I can sort it out.
Many thanks
Just unzip any ROM and look inside,
That would spare you own phone and you can check every single file.
Btw, apk are zip files as well...
I've had a look around, but still haven't found the right things.
I guess the 'Internet Calling' function is part of the main 'phone' app, but I can't find any settings or config files for this.
It should be such a simple change to make; but I'm stuck at the first hurdle!!

[Q] Services Question

Quick question, what can be modified for stopping certain services from running? Example: I kill a task, and a few hours later there it is again, yet I have not launched the application associated with it. (Mostly AT&T's garbage).
with Linux and Mac its fairly simple...but new to the android os (generically speaking)
use an app posted on here by metal head its called autostarts or autostart just search the forum. does exactly what you want.
thanks much appreciated.
secondary question where is the list located in the device itself or is it located in some preference file?

[Q] Is there an easy way to add a dummy service to an existing application? (for oom)

Hello world,
yes, I used the search function.
Background: (you may wish to skip to the question)
I'm a multitasker and I don't like Android killing my browser if I use one or two other applications for a minute or so, because I lose all my tabs content that way. While that isn't bad having a good network connection, it is real bad in subway train where I usally read news by phone and the internet connection is very bad.
So I tried many different things in order to prevent android from killing my browser, and finally I found a solution in the opera forum:
(I really would like to link you there, but: "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!")
knumsole wrote in Opera forum:
Here, take this: (sorry, can't post link, see above)
This is Opera Mobile 11.5.3, (...). I repackaged it with a dummy service which increases the OOM priority of the application. This will very effectively prevent Android from killing it.

(google for the complete sentences in that quote will lead you there.)
Adding this dummy service changed the applications oom priority from about 7 to 10 (--> gets killed soon to first) to an oom priority of 2 (which is totally stable for me).
[ooms read by auto memory manager.]
Question:
Is there a relative easy way to add a dummy service to an existing application? Such as "knumsole" did described before? (I tried contacting him, but wasn't successful)
I'd like to be able to do that myself, e.g. if I need a newer version of the browser. With "easy", I mean: I'm not an application developer, and I don't intend to become one. But I am able to extract an .apk file and modify text files in there and so. And if it is necessary, I would also compile that, too.
I use Android 4.1.2 on a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2.
Thank you!

Question Copy - paste

Is it possible somehow to perform text Copy-Paste action on Galaxy Watch4?
I am asking it because I found a useful speech-to-text app for my Watch4 that works well in my native language (Hungarian) too. The name of the app is 'VoNo' and the problem is that it sends the produced text to a user-defined email address. But I would use the app to send text messages (SMS) or Viber messages etc. That is why applying copy and paste would be perfect.
(Before someone comments that I should use Gboard be aware that Google 's keyboard app offers a lot of different language packs but Hungarian is not among them...)
From my understanding, it comes down to what app you're using. I could be wrong though. I have Termux on the watch, and it supports copy/paste by hold-tapping, but haven't found a way to do it on other apps yet.
I add my question too. Is it possible to share files between my GW4 and phone?

Ask your question in a separate thread and I can answer it for you.
Edit: On second thought, I will just write a How-To Guide on this later. The short answer is, yes, it is possible, but requires some instructions.
