Anyone have a way for us rooted blokes to get an imessage hack? Many people I know have iPhone and it would rock if I could have that functionality. I know the old app mimicked an iPad mini for it to work any ideas ?

no idea how that would work at imessage isn't an open source app and goes through apples servers to work which means it would need some kind of ID

The previous app that was in the Google play and you can actually still search it basically spoofed the servers into thinking it was an iPad mini and. It worked

Did you actually use it or was that what you heard? This sounds like a really cool concept.

There is an application out there for android that is supposed to do all that but you need an apple ID and password and it goes through some servers in China before going to apple so I'm not sure it would be worth it.
You can read about it here:

That app looks really, and I mean REALLY, sketch but it's a cool idea. Maybe someone on xda could try it out?

Honestly, it would be irresponsible to share it. I remember when it was doing the rounds, and it did actually work but it sent every IM, sent AND received, to and from a server in China. The privacy concerns are obviously high, not just for the Android user but primarily for the unaware iOS user.
I don't think that kind of thing should be encouraged on XDA.

Yeah, that app also had the ability to download apps in the background. There was a some saying that since it went through that server in China, it could have have the possibility to steal data from Apple IDs. Like credit card numbers. Its a shame, because it did work pretty good. Hopefully since Hangouts is on iOS now, maybe someday they'll be nice and bring iMessage to us.
Another solution would be to convert everyone to android so iMessgae would become irrelevant.

Thanks for posting about this! I'd never heard of it but now I'm very excited. I just applied for the beta. I'm wondering if walking down to their office tomorrow and begging in person will get my invite any faster! Should I do it?!
i find a conflict in one of the founders of Microsoft spending $20 million for software for a competing platform.
why not develop Kiha for Microsoft if he believes in the product so much?
i'd be afraid of getting the app and have it dumb down my phone or in some way make it so we want to change over to Microsoft of something....it's a conspiracy i tell you
Koush works for kiha. He was heavily involved in this project.

So I received there invite to the beta last night and I was very excited about it. Until I started filling out the info etc and started seeing how they collected all my data of all the sites I visit on my PC and phone (um nooo thanks). And something to the effect that them and 3rd parties can look at my emails and passwords, basically stalk me!! And as I kept reading I started getting more freaked out like WTF for real?? And then I decided not to go further or use it! The real kicker was when they told me that after the beta is over that I should change my emails password?!!?!?!?!? HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLZ NO, NOT USING THIS BS!!!
I'm sticking to what I've been using which is Gmail and AOL mail... I've good thus far and I'm sure I'll continue to do so from this point on lol
I really don't advise anyone to use this crap, I mean by all means you can If you don't mind handing over all your info etc- Just read all they ask for and then tell me if you start to feel bothered!!??
There’s a relatively new app out there called Clover and its invite only. It basically allows you to make payments from your phone. It’s a pretty cool concept so I thought I would share it on here. You can get invited by me to join and get $5 for free just for signing up by clicking this link here or scanning the barcode.
https://www.clover.com/a?inv&t=o395o6k38rhi
Just a heads up..hope im not violating any rules here..
Reserved...
Currently, this app is only in initial testing stages so it is invite only (per my link) and for each person you invite, you get a free 5 dollars. It is an easy way to make money as I have already made 20 bucks in 2 hours! Try and comment!
Tried it mate but it is not currently available here (UK), So you may have to post the apk please

To be fair, it says nowhere in the app or signup process that it is US only (for US residents), so he would have no idea about this.
Also, here are five new invites for US residents: https://www.clover.com/a?inv&t=4znhc7xmpxbf
I just got $5 that I can use to pay friends using the new Clover app (on iPhone and Android). Scan your private invite to get in (with RedLaser, Barcode Scanner, etc.), or open the invite link. You'll get $5 when you accept my invite and we'll be able to pay each other.

Hey everyone,
I got some invites as well if anyone is interested!

I've had 2 of my invites sign up. However, I still only have the original $5 I received for signing up myself. I even upgraded to gold. Don't get me wrong. I like this app. It will allow me to help out friends, family, or purchase things in general. I also appreciate the free $5.
But it would be nice to receive something that you were promised. I emailed support, but have yet to receive an answer.
Anyone have any ideas. I'm still going to keep this and use it. Just would like some sort of an answer. Thank you.

I thought about making a new thread for this, but then decided to post it here. I just read on Arstechnica that the iphone 5 cant do simultaneous voice and data right now on Verizon due to the new dynamic antenna. All those iphone lovers will have to wait until Verizon turns on voice over lte. Right now any recent Verizon android lte phone can do voice and data at the same time.

Oh, that's a big minus, I feel. I've been taking advantage of checking things via the Internet while on the phone often enough, now. Most of my calls from a store are on what to buy, where to eat, prices, ratings, etc. - conversations dynamically flow to looking things up and I no longer have to hope the other person has access to the web or a related app at the time.

ill tell you the answer right now 0. ill put 5k on that. not while im watching this section.
Perhaps most of you know this all ready. And honestly with Facebook you are the product cause your not a customer. However because I along with others have family on Facebook we are in a bind. Well Facebook went native and it finally works well with android. So for the others that have resisted being a user. Maybe its time to give them one more shot?

The experience is definitely improved with the latest version.
Yup, much better.
Also, the argument that if you're not paying something "you're the product" is.... well I'll just say "dramatic." Yes you're being advertised to, and maybe your information is being used for advertising purposes, but.... most normal people don't give a crap, and it certainly doesn't hurt you.

I couldn't agree with you more about it hurting anyone.
Its not dramatics' its a simple fact. And that's OK that they sell my info to make money so I can have a free social media outlet.
I Apologize if this thread seems derogatory to Facebook. They seem to had missed the mark with not taking care of its "product". A vast amount of android users became disheartened of the HTML code. I wrote emails to fb explained how it seemed they were ignoring the android user.
I digress... the point of this thread was to welcome back and perhaps persuade old users to "give them one more shot" I would have never thought I'd give fb 5stars for the app! all my cool friends are on Google + and my sheep ios family are on fb.

I usually just used the browser and the mobile site or the Friendcaster app. The mobile FB site looked almost the same as the old app and Friendcaster works really well on a tablet. I'll definitely check out the new update though. It has to be better than before.

I didn't get the Galaxy Gear because I am not very proud of it's battery life, but if there is one thing that i'm really jealous of is their ability to root and have custom ROMs. I'm just starting to learn development and it might take me some time to get to the point where i can create a root for a new device, but i'm ready to pay somebody to do it for me.
What i would like to be achieved is a custom rom that allows us to rearrange icons, change the Bluetooth icon color, because when the phone disconnects and the icon grays out, there is not much of a difference. Something that allows us to have custom clocks with weather, or a notification badge, or other stuff that this watch lacks and that could be fairly easily implemented by Sony. I am aware that there are some limitations to Sony SDK and due to poor LCD resolution, but something is better than nothing. All i'm saying is i'm not expecting CM11 on this
I pledge 25$ to the cause

no, but thats not the point. The watch is tethered to a phone thats running android and that can push information to the watch. The gear has some custom OS is possibly based on android 4.2, i'm sure the SW2 is not so far from that either
I'm not nerdy enough yet to confirm if this is possible, but i'm sure there is something we can do
Yes the gear actually runs android and can run apps natively. Thats the whole reason you see a custom rom. the gear is no where near that capable and doesn't have the luxury of already having an android base.

The Smartwatch can not and will never run a full Android since it uses a microcontroller cpu that is not made for this kind of usecase (ARM Cortex-M3 at least in the smartwatch 1 not sure which CPU is used in the Smartwatch 2 but i suppose it uses the same or similar cpu)
I reported this Donation app to google. Not sure if they agree with me that this is fraud but it is very obvious.
Everyone who researches a bit would know that it is impossible.
the 200$ app however i think i can't report since they deliver exactly what they write. nothing but a expensive app that does nothing.
