[Completed] [Q] Is it possible to get microphone specs / infos within an Android app ?

Hello,
This is my first question (searched for the answer but did not find !) and I hope I'm posting at the right place.
I'm currently working on an Android app, and I would like it to be able to get access to the microphone sensitivity or at least model / reference.
I found a bunch of applications on the play store which can tell almost everything about built-in cameras / sensors etc. but nothing concerning the microphone.
I get a feeling that this info may be somewhere in /dev but can't manage to get to it.
Thanks a lot !

[Completed] [Q] Looking for an app?

It's a lock screen, I don't know the name of it (obviously), and from what I remember of it it's pretty cool. It features like, a hidden unlock method, something in background that you interacted with and it unlocked your phone. I dunno, I don't remember much, and it's not like the world will end if I don't find it. Heck, it might not even exist and I've somehow remembered something that doesn't exist, or maybe it's not available anymore. But anyway, if you do know what it is any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers guys.

[Completed] Bluetooth hacking for android

Hi, I recently paired my samsung galaxy note 5 bluetooth with a stranger, who wants me to transfer a video i was taking for an event. I paired and transferred the video over to him but I cancelled it mid-way coz the file was over 700MB in size. The whole process probably took about half to 1 minute. My concern here is whether within that short period of time, was there any possibility that my phone would have been compromised, hacked and my personal data taken ? Thanks.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
It's conceivable. BlueJacking, BlueSnarfing, and BlueBugging exists. And personal info is rather small. Not to freak you out, in that time it's possible for the other device to download your encrypted passwords top be cracked at a later point.
Probable is a different question. Depends partly on how much you trust this stranger. Personally, I would be looking to change my passwords just in case.

Hi Jim, thanks for the info and pointing out to me the right threads to go to. I will post my questions in the relevant threads. I have also registered myself an XDA account.
On your comments on resetting the passwords, I think I will do it. Though it will be quite a big exercise. But better to be safe than sorry. Anyways, curious to know, besides my encrypted password,s what are the other data that someone might be able to retrieve via bluetooth within that short period of time?
Cheers,
Raymond

I'm no expert on security; what else comes to mind is IMEI and cell phone number, maybe even address book. Unlike the password things, there really isn't any control over mitigating that.
Hopefully your encounter was on the up-and-up.

[Completed] Display image over app

Hello guys!,
I was wondering if it is possible to display an image on a part of my screen on my android phone, while the rest of my screen is still displayed live. My device is rooted and i can flash and install anything required. I would, for example, display a picture on 1/4 of my screen while watching a youtube video.
Thanks in advance,
alenova

[Completed] Android + Kiosk App

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for help and this is the last place i'm having hopes for..
I have native android app that was developed by me. and my company wants to put this app in tablet so then the app has true kiosk mode, loading on the start, auto-updating (somehow?? today I'm checking it with api call and forcing users to go to google play)
The current kiosk mode i have - isn't working that well across all the devices, Some tablets like samsung 8 inchers will cause app to crash on requesting device administrator. Some tablets don't allow me to disable turn the screen back on if user clicked on the button.
We would also like to add some AdMob and AdColony SDK's there but now the issue is that if either of this networks has a link to google play or just a web link it fires intent and kicking chrome instead which knocks my app to the background in some devices.
What do we need to do from here? I mean what do we need to find to get it done? We would be buying some specific tablets for that too so I guess we can modify ROM if that is required but I'm really don't have any clue where to start here.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
