Dark Keys for 1.5 Firmware

Does anyone know how to get dark keys application working on the 1.5 firmware (cupcake)
Is it something the app developer needs to do and if so does anyone know where i can reach him to ask
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513772 go here for app <<

it has to be done on the developers side and if you download the program through market the go to its details and scroll down to email developer.

already sent an E-mail to the Dev asking for the source code. He said he was going to get it uploaded.

cheers
Thanks guys

any luck on getting it to works on 1.5 yet?

Someone needs to make a new version of this app. one that doesnt keep flicking on and off like dark keys does. would be nice if it just remembered whether it was on or off and stayed that way until changed.

whats the darks key？black key？

Would it be possible to have a uer option to have the backlight on or off based on the time of the day?

Hm, they disabled a lot of programs abilities to change settings like wifi/gps etc, dont know if this was one of those settings (REALLY hope not since you cant change it in android settings either).
Really need this app working for 1.5 :/

That's a really good idea but we need to get it working with 1.5 first

Anyone seen any updates on this anywhere? His webpage seems quiet as well. Thinking about looking into this myself, but it'd be a lot easier with his code.

Nobody saw the source? It is explicitely posted on google code..
Here is the link:
http://code.google.com/p/darkkeys/

Did not actually see that, but I dont think it's possible with 1.5 firmware, I looked into it a bit myself, trying to construct hardwareservice jar file for 1.5.
//edit, that is, not possible with the normal hardwareservice way, it'll still work fine on rooted phones.

Rename to darkkeys.apk and install normally. Works only on rooted phones for 1.5 unfortunatly, and it's only debug signed.
Upstream bug tracker here : http://code.google.com/p/darkkeys/issues/list?updated=2&ts=1241446083

This is a disaster for white G1s!
Do I really have to root my phone just to be able to see the keyboard? What are Google playing at?

haha thank you so much i have been waiting for this for a LONG TIME!

Seems they changed detection on whether or not the keypad's open a bit as well, I'll see about making it more reliable sometime today.

Attaching new one, same procedure, rename to .apk and install directly.

What's the point in this?

Bronze G1s suffer from the same problem. So here's another vote for "change timeout based on time of day" feature. Preferably something configurable and togglable. Thanks for your hard work, guys!

Android 2.2 Email.apk - Bypassing Exchange security policy - APK Attached.

So I got CM6 installed this morning and then realized how much I despised unlocking my phone. LockPicker from 2.1 doesn't work due to the new method of policy management so I'm attaching an Email.apk that works without issues.
I believe there's another test version of this floating around that someone else has been working on, but I'm not sure if it's being done in the same manner.
I apktool d'd the Email.apk from CM6, then in the SecurityPolicy.smali on line 647 defined v5 as 0x1 (true)..this makes IsActive always return True when policies are checked and bypasses all of the exchange security policy junk. Seems to be working fine for me, if you have any questions feel free, not sure if I'll be able to help too much as I figured this stuff out on the fly today, I'll do my best though.

No need for this in 2.1 - bypassing exchange security policies was much easier as it was just a db setting in the settings provider iirc. There's also a very good app in the market called LockPicker. This was just a quick hack for the new froyo.
Glad to hear its working for someone though

Is there a thread for the db setting in the iirc, like maybe a how to change the db setting in iirc for dummies? I'm using lockpicker but would love to learn more and experiment with the settings. I'll do a search but figured I'd ask anyway!

this is beautiful!!! works perfectly and it's much more clever solution than running a service in the background!
THANK YOU!

I'll give it a shot. I am having the issues that most others are regarding Froyo and Exchange. Google for froyo and exchange it has tons of results.

What setup errors are you experiencing?

Uninstalled the original one and installed this one successfully but the lock screen PIN in still present.

When trying to setup the Exchange account it will tell me I have an invalid username or password when it is correct. I did some googling and a lot of others are having this same issue. It seems to have to do with Froyo not recognizing SSL certificates correctly when it comes to Exchange.

Don't ask me why but i really love the Sense with Froyo.. so attached is the sense Mail.apk that works with 2.2
Could you please try to apply the same patch to it? I tried but i couldn't find the smali or the v5 variable?
I would really appreciate it... as i'm sure other people would too.

Try removing the account, removing the mail app, disabling your screen lock. Then reinstall my apk and reconfigure. That should do the trick.
Ill take a look at the sense mail apparently in the morning, though you could just run lockpickef from the market without issues.

[APP] MySQL Manager

I'm trying to get a feel for what kind of demand there is out there for a MySQL manager for Android.
Obviously there's only going to be a small niche of people who would want/use one, myself included, so I guess I wanted to get the feedback of the people on these forums to see what demand is like.
I'm currently building one that I plan to stick on the Android Market in the next week or so, and I'll let everyone who expresses interest know when that happens. The first version I put out will be a "lite" version. Features will include:
Create/Edit/Delete server/db credentials
View a list of all Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures in a db
View first 100 records of any Table or View
Drop Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures
Add/Edit Views
Add/Edit Stored Procedures
Run custom queries
If the demand and responses are good, I will completely re-do the UI, add some nice graphics, and put out a much more feature-rich version. Not going to waste my time to do that, though, if I don't feel there is enough need.
Thanks in advance to everyone who responds!

I would definitely use this. Personally, running custom queries would be the only thing I would use it for tho (i'm a sql/command line ninja haha). Hard saying how often I would use it. Currently I just ssh into a nix box and use mysql client from there when I'm remote/without a laptop and need to fix something.

I have released the initial version of my app on the market. Search for AndSQL.
Keep in mind, this is a very rough first version and is not intended to be complete with features. If response/feedback is good I will re-do UI, add graphics, and style it. Any feedback is greatly welcomed. Thanks!!

Can't find on the market, is there a download link?
Also, about "Run custom queries" is there the option to save/load the queries too?
I will appreciate that because i often run the same queries, so i save and load them when i need

As of right now there is not. This would be a feature I would definitely add if I decide to make a 'full' version. This was really more or less just a quick tool I made for myself to do quick db edits/checks on the fly when problems are reported. It has a ton of potential, I'm just not sure how large the demand is for a 'full' version of this.
My app targets 2.1 and up so not sure why you don't see it in the Market, but I'll go ahead and post it in the OP. Look for it there.

Ok, thanks for reply, it's quite useful already to do quick and emergency checks.
I'm on froyo now, so i should be able to find it in the market...

There's likely a bug in my connection error reporting. If you're not seeing any tables or views then there's probably something wrong w/ your connection settings.
Make sure your MySQL db is set to allow remote connections, and also verify that the port you specified is correct. Hope that helps

Im' pretty sure everything it's ok, from my home pc i can connect without any problem...

Openvpn for Ice Cream Sandwhich (no root/jailbreak)

Hi,
a pre alpha version that already works.
Restrictions:
- only tun mode (API restriction)
- may only work once (still pre alpha, remember)
Although the application is far from finished connecting to a VPN already works. I

Updated version now on the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn

Thank you for this application. Is it open source ? Do we have to install openvpn first ? Do we have to get tun working first ?
Thank you.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

Yes, it is open source. When the code is a little bit more polished I will publish the code. The VPNService is part of Android 4.0+, so nothing is required regarding tun. (On custom build ICS images thing might differ, but that is bug in the image)

Perfect. Thank you. I will try it and give you feed back.
Thank you.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

Excellent! I had almost given up hope on being able to (successfully) use OpenVPN on my Android device when I learned that ICS would make it easier. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

I have also created an OpenVpn application, mainly ported for Cyanogenmod 7, which retain almost all CM7 OpenVpn features. Sure, it is open source, check it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591585

Too bad that the effort was made twice now :/ I did not know of your porting attempts. There was a discussion on the openvpn-devel mailing list a month before and nobody knew of any porting attempts.

I tried it and it is working great. Thank you very much.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

Tested against a Linksys E4200 with DD-WRT and works perfectly.
I need to reconfigure my server from SHA256 to SHA1 hash algorithm. It would be great if this can be configured in advanced options.
Thanks and keep the great work !!!

Sorry, that I respond so late. Thanks for the suggestion of hash algorithm. I will look into implementing a hash algorithm preference.

With latest version, using "--auth sha256" in advanced options, works perfectly.
Thanks.

I do not understand your question. What do you want to know?

This question may be stupid, but when OpenVPN is connected, does all network traffic on the phone go through the VPN channel?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Depends how you set the routes. If you set default route on then all should go over the VPN channel. You can check the routes with show information from the log widow.

It took me a while to enable 'redirect gateway' and configure NAT on the Linux server side, but after that this app works great and all traffic are going through the VPN tunnel! Thanks a lot!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

To the OP: which version of OpenVPN did you bundle in the app? Does it support IPv6?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

2.3.0pre and it does support IPv6

Almost perfect app
Very helpful developer.
I like this program the best compared to the other one in here for ICS, as this one has more options, nicer layout, and is the only one working properly for me.
However I did have to put in my DNS settings automatically, but then everthing also worked correctly
Now I only miss a on/off widget, the app would be perfect!

It shows that I've sent packets, but haven't received any. I'm on a Galaxy Nexus using CM9.
My guess is it's something on the server end that I need to configure... But I have no real experience with openVPN and have been just following guides I've found on the net. In my previous post is a picture of my server config in tomato, do you see anything wrong there? Or anything else I need to do somewhere else in the router?

[APP][ROOT][4.0+] SMS Limit Tool

Some time ago, I posted an app that would raise the limit on the number of SMS Messages that could be sent before seeing the ever-annoying warning dialog that you text too much. However, this app only worked on JellyBean 4.1 and was very ROM specific, so I set out to improve upon the idea a little.
The "new" app will work on ANY (to my knowledge) rooted device running Android 4.0+ and allows you to set the limits yourself (within reason). Basically, just load it up, set your limits, click apply, and reboot. The settings will stick unless you wipe data or factory reset your device and I included an option to return to defaults if need be.
There is a known problem with the reboot binary on some HTC devices not playing well, so you may have to reboot manually. Please let me know if you encounter any other problems with it and I'll work through them.
You can grab the apk from HERE. There is an identical donate version available from the market if you're feeling generous.
Play Store Link

Works great for me! Thanks!

Thanks, my spare phone is doing auto-forwarding duties nowadays and this was just what I needed =)

will this work on rooted Gingerbread (2.3.4) ? - specifically:
Virtuous G-Lite v2.0.1 :: GB AOSP HTC/G2 base 2.16.531.5

Does gingerbread have the limitiation? I know froyo doesn't, I only need this for my Jelly Bean S2.

If GB has a limit, it's handled differently and this won't work on it.

Thanks. It's just what I needed.

Thanks. :good:
Do you know if it's possible to just read the "sms_outgoing_check_max_count" actual value without root?

I'm guessing probably not. The value isn't present in the database unless it is changed from the default. Depending on the device, Android version, and carrier, the default could be stored anywhere in XML or code, so I can't even venture a guess as to the values.

So basically SMS Apps can't do anything about it until google decides to let the default value be customizable (like in cyanogenmod).
Hope they change their mind.

Xenxda, maybe yes, using Xposed.

Xposed seems to need root access on installation because it replaces a file in /system/bin.

Thanks for the great app with free version :thumbup:
