[Q] how to make an app that ask you to set a password - Other Tools & General Discussion

does someone know how to make an app that ask you to set a password when launching the apk for first time use? so you can only use this app everytime you put that password I mean I would like to know how to do it theres an apk with that feature but I don't know how to do it.
and I would like to know if I can do it with apktool or apk multi tool.
this is the apk that has the feature I want.

How to use "Get SMS on Email"
1. Install the application from Google Play and run it.
2. When you first launch it, set a password (so only you can use the application).
3. Enter an email address where you would like to receive your SMS, calls, and location information, WhatsApp messages and WhatsApp photos.

Its can be quite easily done with shared preferences ... In your default activity, inside onCreate, Check your Shared preferences file if a pwd field exists, if not, Show up a Non-Cancelable dialog asking for the user to set a password. Now store that password in the shared preferences.
Now, check the shared prefs for a password field, if it exists , Show up a non-cancellable dialog asking for the user to enter his/her password. Check it, if it's wrong, close the app .. if it's correct dismiss the dialog and allow the user to proceed.
This method is NOT SECURE and is not encrypted but, it shud be enough for a simple app.
All the best !

I wrote an app to control my phone through google talk

Hey guys!
I developed TalkMyPhone, an open-source app that enables you to control your phone from google talk. It's like android-notifier on steroids, since it brings almost the same features and you don't need wifi/bluetooth enabled.
I can't post links since I'm new here. Google for talkmyphone or look for it on the market.
Developers: I'm open to contributions
Users: please use the issue tracker for suggesting features
I don't have many non-french users since the info did not spread very well outside of french blogs, so I'm posting it here. I hope someone will find it useful and write something about it.

Do you need multiple GTalk accounts in order to talk to it, or can you "talk to yourself" ?
Niice Idea
sweeeet thx
Doesn´t work on my SGS. After trying to to login the app closed. And now i can´t open it again. Even every other app wont start.
Only a restart helped. Uninstalled.
But the idea is interessting. maybe i´ll give a try again later.

The 2 solutions work. Talking to yourself is possible in gmail, but you cannot initiate the conversation, so in this case, best is to use a third party client like pidgin. Otherwise you can set up a second account. Any standard jabber account is possible.
Accounts delivered at jabber.org are *very* easy to get. You don't need to give your email address, you don't need to sign an agreement. You just have to fill a captcha to prove you're human.

Weird. Some unlucky people experiment bugs like this one. I don't know where this comes from, and I try to improve the code. It works 100% of the time for me, so all I can do is look at 'adb logcat' traces users leave on the bugtracker. If you wish to do so, it might improve your chances to see this fixed
giving it a shot
you may try changing your preferences.xml to the attached (just because of english, just change .zip to .xml)
i have to find the other file, because i noticed some other grammatical things. no worries tho
and, 'additional settings', in the xml has too many 'n's, lol

Thank you, I'll update that in the next release.
Pretty Neat
I was able to go on Google Talk on my PC and send messages to my phone. The copy:text feature I can definitely see myself using so that I don't have to type long URLs in the browser. The other functions seem like they would be nice if you lost your phone or if it was stolen. Overall a pretty neat app! Thanks!
Rob
HTC Incredible
Virtuous Rom 2.7
So I have the app running and logged in. (Phone is logged into [email protected])
On my PC I have [email protected]. I message from PC to phone (John to Paul) and nothing happens.
I tried "where" "ring" etc, but the app doesn't respond. What am I doing wrong?
What next...
When you start the app on the phone, make sure you input your google information and then start the app. If you have Google Talk up on your PC, it should pop up a window for you to type commands into (talk to/control your phone). It did for me anyway. Type a "?" to get a list of the commands...

Hmm, I did all this. Let me see where the issue is:
My phone's Google account is set to [email protected].
I put in [email protected] and my password into TalkMyPhone.
I start up TalkMyPhone and it logs in -- successfully.
I go to my PC and log into gmail on [email protected].
I message from my PC ([email protected]) to my phone ([email protected]).
I get the message but nothing happens with TalkMyPhone.
Can you tell me where the issue is?
i entered in all of my information too and nothing seems to work, the app says loging in .. then that its successful. but then nothing can be done from there.
i cant even log in
i always get the message: "login failed" and then "stopping service"
i tried setting it on "use the phones account settings"
then i turned that off, and manually put in my gmail-settings - still didnt work
Same issues over here... Got it all connected, reciving messages from the phone works fine, too (welcome, battery, incomming callings) but sending commands doesn't work for me.
Got a HTC Magic/Sapphire with CM6 (2.2) running on it.
I had the same problem. I changed the GTalk Port to 5222 and entered my ****@googlemail.com instead of ****@gmail.com
Works perfect on my HD2 (Android ) Thank you!
When I log in on phone i get this gTalk message on my pc from my own account:
Welcome to TalkMyPhone. Send "?" for getting help
Battery level 78%
Works just perfect...

but i dont get any messages....
do i need to have the real gtalk installed on my computer?
doesnt applications like trillian for windows work?
I tried Pidgin and it works but I use the GMail-Chat because it's my info hub
Anyways, great work chm.duquesne, this is a really great application.
Now there just needs to be a way in GTalk to turn off the chat notification in Android for a single contact
// Edit
The "where" feature is really awesome, mate.
Nothing serious but the reply feature does not work for me. When I received a SMS and I type "reply:This is my reply" it answers "No match for "+491234567890" (the number being the correct number, of course).

Is it possible to get some kind of ping button on the phone, that opens the conversation window on the pc? I cannot figure out how to open a conversation with myself in gTalk.

change Android market account

Sorry, as you can see, its my first post and i dont exactly know where to put, but i want to share,because i spend hours of searching the net and my device.
I had the problem, that i forgot the password for the googlemail-account linked to the market and found no solution to change it. So i searched a little bit and found a fast solution which was working for me.
So i just took the /data/system/accounts.db file, opened it by using SQLite Database Browser and changed the address to the new one and deleted the stored password. After reboot and accessing the market, i was asked for the password, entered the new one and voila, all was fine.
Sorry, if its the wrong forum.
btw, my device is a rooted desire, with "Official_FroYo_Market_fixed" ROM
Interesting!
Is it also possible to change a google account without resetting whole device?
Yes it is possible.
It was my aim to change it without resetting the device and this is the solution. No need to reset anything.

download the free Super Manager from the market, give it root , keep moving up folders to root, go to /data/system/ and just delete accounts.db it is quicker to just reenter the account info , by the time you go through all the steps to edit that file and the know what to change your finished entering the account info, I just had to do this I put my wifes account on my phone, tried everyway to remove her which a search landed me here, I downloaded Sq but just to much to do so I found super manager while searching the market for help
Thanks for the hint! Deleting the accounts.db worked very well for me.
Great share, thank you!
Another aspect is the mail associated with a purchase. Currently I can change the email for my vendor account, but it isn't possible to shift the purchase profile to another email account as far as I know.
If anybody got an idea/solution to that, it would be more than appreciated.
guys,
I need help, I read above method of reset market logon, so I deleted account.db with rootexplorer. Then I start market again, it ask me signon. This is working, remove my wife logon information.
Then I put in detail id and password, but I am getting network error, my phone on 3G network, my browser able to visit any web page. But the market apps just not connecting. What did I do want ?
thanks

this worked for market, but unfortunately not for google talk.

[App] GMarks - Google Bookmark sync

Hey folks! I just wanted to point everyone to my free, open-source app, GMarks.
Features
Sync your browser bookmarks with a GMarks label
Live folders for any label
Integrated global search
Create GMarks quickly from the browser's "share" menu
Free and open-source!
Check out some screenshots.
GMarks is available on the Android Market, and also as an APK download from the project website. Please try it out, and leave feedback!
Excellent, but I will wait until the 2-step authentication, because I can't log in with out it.
Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know Alex -- I've had a couple people mention it now so now that I know how popular this feature is I'll work more quickly to get it released! Here's the issue page so you can track the progress:
http://code.google.com/p/gmarks-android/issues/detail?id=31
I'll probably release a test build too so users like you can test it before it's published to the Market. Thanks again for the feedback!
Sure, Tom, go ahead and drop a test build here as soon as you can, thanks!
I love this type of apps . Open source and free even tough is works better than many paid-for apps!

I had the issuse with 2-step verification too. But if you check the above-mentioned link about the issue, you'll see someone mentioned a workaround you can use until it has been fixed in the program itself.
Good to see the issue being responded to so quickly btw .
But what I came here for:
I was happy to read about interaction with my phone's browser, except it doesn't work for me. I enabled it in the settings, I pointed it towards a label, I synced it, but no bookmarks turn up in my phone's browser (I am using the Google Android browser), and no new bookmarks are added to the existing Google Bookmarks label either.
Using:
- Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (running Android 2.2.1)
- GMarks 0.6.3
Logging in succeeded (using the above workaround), I get to see the labels and bookmarks in the app, it's only the interaction with the browser's bookmarks that does not seem to work for me.
Let me know if there is more information you need.
Edit:
I'm Dutch, and willing to help when any additional Dutch translation is needed.
Oh, I see. Maybe enable application specific password would also be great.
Two-factor auth support
Hey folks: I've enabled two-factor auth support in the latest build here:
http://code.google.com/p/gmarks-and...android-0.6.4-SNAPSHOT-2-aligned.apk&can=2&q=
try it out and let me know if you encounter any problems!

After replacing the older version with this updated one, I saw I was stilled logged in (I used the workaround). I stopped the app and removed it's data (via the Settings->Manage Applications thing), and started it again to log in properly using the 2-step verification. The login worked as expected*. But my bookmarks are not syncing. The message tells me it's syncing, a message tells me it has finished syncing after only a second or two (back when it actually did sync, the first full sync took much longer than that), but no bookmarks show up in GMarks.
On a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (running Android 2.2.1).
Let me know if you need any further information.
*Except for a minor detail:
When I enter the username and password for my account, I press Sign in, and I arrive at the Verify page, as expected. Now I press my Home button to go to Google's app that provides the verify code. When getting back to GMarks, it's back at the login screen, with empty username and password fields. So I have to repeat the first step of the two-step verification. Not very critical, but a little bit annoying, so it would be nice if there's an easy fix for this .

Yeah that's tricky. I'll have to see if I can detect that a password has already been typed, and attempt to restore that verification code page if it's already been loaded.
You might be able to switch between apps without the GMarks login page reloading by using the "Hold home button" to switch between apps without going to the launcher in between.
Either way, this is an issue that clearly I need to keep working on. Thanks again for your patience and feedback!
Any response to my other issues I wrote about in the above posts?
1) Nothing syncing between GMarks and my browser. (Post #5)
2) Newer version: nothing syncing. At all. (Post #8)

Hi jjwa,
Thanks for working with me to resolve this. I've attached another APK for you to try. After installing, go to Application Management-> GMarks -> Clear Data and give it another try.
If that doesn't work, do you have the SDK tools installed? I can't reproduce this problem so I'd have to rely on getting debug information from you via the "adb logcat" tool.
I apologize for the trouble, and appreciate you're helping me make GMarks better!
Thanks again. Let me know how the new APK goes or if you need instructions on how to use logcat.

The APK did not produce a different result compared to the previous one as far as I could see.
I currently don't have a working USB cable, so I tried out apps for the adb logcat thing. I have used adb before, but I have no experience logcat, so if you need it done with differently settings (I was now logging at the 'Error' filter level btw). I've sent a log to your gmail adress instead of posting it here, because I wasn't sure there was no information in there I would not want to have up in public...
For recording the logs, I repeated the Clear Data steps, started the log apps, logged in on GMarks, let it attempt it's sync, and then told the apps to email their logs.
Let me know if this is sufficient or if you need me to do it differently or do something else.
P.S. Random curiosity: the log is getting spammed massively with 'WPA supplicant' messages. I know that's related to my WiFi. Any idea why it's going so crazy? Should it? Is it just the security protocal chitchat?
Which passwords should I insert? Can I insert the Application specific one? I'm not comfortable inserting my password just to use the credentials, now that we have specific passwords...

Hi Alex,
Unfortunately you have to use your own, normal password (followed by a verification code if you've enabled two-factor auth.) One-time use passwords unfortunately don't work here - they only work for AuthSub enabled services and the Bookmarks service (as far as I know) doesn't support AuthSub. I tried to use a one-time password myself and the login page rejects it and says as much.
The reason GMarks for Android directs the user to the Google login webpage is exactly because I expect users would (or *should*) be wary of inputting their username and password directly into an Android app. (Lots of apps still seem to do this anyway...) Because you are logging in through the webpage, the GMarks app never sees your username or password.
If it makes you feel any better, if you have two-factor auth enabled, any app that _did_ capture your username and password wouldn't be able to log in without the additional verification code. And the verification codes only work once so that code can't be 'stolen' and used to log into your account from somewhere else.
Sorry! I think this is the best anyone can do until Google releases a real Bookmarks API...
Two-factor auth support
Hi folks -- here's a new 0.6.4 build with two-factor auth support.
Entering in the verification code is still a bit of a pain in the ass, but I think it's the best that can be done. Once you enter your username & password in GMarks you get directed to the verification page, at which point you have to switch to the Google Authenticator app.
You can do this quickly if you open the Authenticator app first and then long-press the home button to switch between the two activities. You can also copy the verification code from the Authenticator app by long-pressing on the number. Then you can paste it into the browser textbox in GMarks.
This build also includes the ability to fully re-sync with the server, which will resolve any sync problems and remove stale bookmarks that might have been left on your device if you've deleted bookmarks via the web interface. It's the last item when you go to Menu->Settings. Since this re-downloads *all* of your bookmarks it should be something that is not done often, hence the reason why it's a bit 'hidden away.'
Tom,
thanks for your detailed and excellent answer. I'll try this latest build and come back with results.
[Edited] Seems to be working very well for me. The only comment would be the same as previously stated: when validating the code, you need to leave the application to go to Google authenticator, when you come back, you need to re-enter user and password...
Thanks!

Alex! You'll be happy to hear I realized there's a much more elegant way to make this work -- I can launch the Authenticator activity straight from GMarks (if you have it installed.) So you can copy the code and just hit 'back' to get back to enter it into the verification page.
Try out the attached build. I think it's a big improvement over the prior solution.
Hi,
Is the version on the market not the latest? I've the market version that says 0.6.4, but 2-factor authentication behave the same as before.

Ooh, that's creepy. I've staged an update but not published it yet. Odd that the Market is now showing the description for 0.6.4 even thought the admin console clearly shows that the last published version is 0.6.3.
You didn't get a Market update, did you?
I plan to publish 0.6.4 soon! I was hoping to get some feedback from the build that I attached in my last post to see if everything looked like it was working correctly first.
If you haven't seen it yet, 0.6.4 is _actually_ released now. I've had some feedback already that two-factor auth is working smoothly now (in addition to my own testing) so you should be good to go! http://goo.gl/AbeDh

[APP] Garble (Send Private Messages) V4.0 (24/01/2020)
Updated 24/01/2020
Want to send private messages to family and friends? Don't want governments watching what you're saying? Then Garble is for you
Garble encrypts a string with a passcode of your choice, and then encodes the encrypted string with base64. The only way someone can decrypt it, is by using this app and and knowing the pass phrase you used.
Usage is very simple - decide upon a pass phrase with the person your going to be sending the message to before using
1) Enter some text
2) Type a pass phrase (or select a person from the 'Lock' icon)
3) Garble it
4) Share it
You can grab it from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.minooch.garble
or support me and buy the paid version - just removes the please buy link, Ads have been completely removed.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.minooch.garble_premium
If you want any improvements - please let me know
Any Feedback?
Downloading. Will test and report.
Thanks
Gonna try it.

Thanks to all for the feedback.
I have a look at saving the passwords against people's names - would make it much easier to remember. Thanks
Another suggestion:
Can you add a string to the code that recognizes that text is garbled with your app and automatically opens app and copy text to garble if I click on the text. I just have to type in the passphrase or choose it from a list (suggest in previous post).

I've managed to get time to add this yesterday & it appears to be fully functional.
Although......
I can't update the app on the market because Admob banned me (no idea why & they won't say), so I've gone to a new ad provider & am waiting for approval. Hopefully I can release it soon
Version 2
Added the ability to save pass phrases by people's name - Click the KEY icon to use
On an existing item, a normal press will select & place the pass phrase on the main page. A long press will ask if you want to remove the item.
Also cleared the input field after Garble/unGarble

Works nice and I feel secure sending sensitive messages with this, but could you add built-in SMS abilities? I don't mind sharing with my SMS app, but the wifey won't use this app because she feels that sharing with the SMS app takes too long and is a pain in her ass.

Brilliant Idea!
Would test it but im the only android in my house and only a few mates have androids and they wont bother downloading the app for me to test it
be great if you could implement this kind of security into the built in sms app in some way that makes it simple to use without the person on other end having to be on android for it to work or having to input much if blackberry users can have this sort of security with not having to do anything be cool if we could do same
This is really cool! but I wish I had a secure way to tell them the password! with wiretaps and all everywhere... -paranoid-

[Q] How should I prevent someone spying on my phone, through a hidden app?

Hallo people friends,
A business partner of my friend has installed a spy software called ispyoo , on my friends unrooted android phone. How should we remove it?
the app is invisible. and it can only be uninstalled by loginng in to the ispyoo . com website with usersname and password.
We want to remove it manually.

i dont know the app you mentioned, but im guessing if you go into the system app folder, you probably would be able to see it there, and delete it.
EDIT: i looked into ispyoo a bit, try dialling
#4779*
and see what that gives you.

Thank you very much for reply. ))
But the app isnt showing in system folder too. That number is not working either. you can see how they trickfully said on that website "(Once iSpyoo is installed you will find a new icon on your phone. Or to make dial #4779* to open iSpyoo.)"
They dont want users to remove it easily.
But we know its there, because he got email confirmation of ispyoo is activated. And whatsapp conversation word files are being created automatically..

well its an app, so it definitely has to be somewhere. you can try /device>data>app, thats where user apps are, it might be there. failing that, i would download es file explorer and go the topmost folder, that contains all other folders, and search for all apk files, it probably will find it. if it dosent, search again with ispyoo as the saerch keyword, if tthat still hasnt found it use recovery to totally wipe the entire device.
or just ask the person who put it on to remove it.

Hallo
They have option to login to the website with usersname and password, and then go to uninstall option. It gets uninstalled from there to your phone.
We cornered the guy!!, and then he(scared) removed it using the users name and password he signed up for it. (A legendary old method for app solution!)
It even had option to disallow certain apps, or stop apps in the target phone. Do you believe? Now all good.
Thank you for your concern and help )
see you

Hello bro, were you able to remove it from iphone? I had no idea... may be you reset the iphone? I hope something worked for you.
so, question still remains, how do you check the program is installed or not if it is hidden?
To check if the app is installed or not (while its hidden) you should have root access in your phone. Open the root directory and system folder and search for the installed apps. In this folder you will see all the installed apps on your phone wether they are hidden or visible.
Btw these days not only the syping apps are spying on users but even the utility or gaming apps spy on users via microphone or taking screenshots of device display to collect data and show revelent ads to them.
