[Completed] dd (aka, Disk Destroyer, Disk Dump, Delete Data, Data Description, etc. - XDA Assist

HOW TO ANSWER/REPLY:
The primary FORMAT of ANSWERS/REPLIES I'm looking for are of 2 kinds:
1. RESOURCE NAME: & URL LINK (Where to Ask/Look for this Info)
~&~
2. COURSE/VIDEO NAME: & URL Link​
ULTIMATE GOAL:
I am interested in making a series of ScreenCasts (with slides) on use of dd to gather info on Android partitions (along with cat of info in sys), copy, clone, over-writing, and flashing ROMs.
RESEARCH STRATEGY:
I'm looking for the approach others have used for similar content. There are now literally dozens of MOOCs (Udacity, Udemy, and Coursera are excellent!) and other sites (some NGO, some For-Profit) with fairly good instructional design on Android internals. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I'm interested in finding VIDEOS (or hybrid content, plus videos), which include instruction and/or example of use of dd (or forked/derivative software) in the context of Android.
UNSUCCESSFUL PRIOR SEARCHES:
Yes, I already know that I may have to just settle for a precedent of Linux/FreeBSD videos, and/or prior art which only covers dd in the context of data rescue (disk imaging, forensics, etc.). And yes, I also know that Google and YouTube advanced keyword searches are amazingly useful, but I am hoping someone else can help me out, perhaps with just some obscure YouTube playlist that's relevant, or a course with a specific section that includes something like this.
WHY AM I ASKING THIS HERE?:
Unfortunately, I don't even know where to ask this question, and I've had terrible luck when trying to ask similar questions to this on other websites!?! But I know that XDA is where lots of Android experts reside
Thanks,
Paul

[Completed] BROWSING HISTORY: Apps, Addons, Plugins (or if necessary) Programs

Please recommend (any) Android tools for "logging" each site I visit — my browsing history, in other words — and storing/exporting/forwarding/saving the activity somewhere accessible to me that doesn't involve rooting my Tablet?
I'm dismayed at how difficult it's been to isolate this one utility on Google Play . . . without unleashing widgets for history buffs!
Thoughts? I do not want to root my tablet!! Cloud? Something else?
Thanks guys.

Hi there!
I know Dolphin has this feature built in, as I suspect other browser's do as well.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your question?
In Dolphin, you swipe the screen from left to right, choose history and you can export it, or send to cloud. You need an account, as it asks me to sign in.....but I have not made one.
If you require more help, you will need to post your question here....

[Completed] Secure Contacts Manager/Address Book (with db encryption)

I am looking for a secure contact (and related misc. information) manager/phone-address book that encrypts the database and protects its records from other apps as well as in case of the phone being lost. This is for Android.
I've been looking for such an app for quite some time and in various sources. I found some people asking for something similar, but with no answers. I also found some "secure wallet" programs that could almost do the trick, except that they store secure information but no people's contacts. While, of course, I can record phone numbers (and addresses) in a free-note format, that wouldn't allow easy dialing of those numbers, or easy copying of the addresses to the navigation apps (Google Maps, Waze, etc.).
None of the contacts managers I found offer encryption/protection.
I thought XDA-developers would be a good place to find a reference to such an app, but so far, I couldn't find any discussion about those. I am surprised why nobody is interested in such an app. Or am I just looking in a wrong way?
I'd appreciate to be pointed to the relevant forum/discussion, and if one doesn't exist, - to the right forum where I can ask about one.
Hi,
As this isn't really a device specific question, I suggest you ask here...

[Completed] [Q] Site chat application?

Hello,
I am looking for a chat application to implement it to my radio website. I don't have idea which to use or which is best. I came across RumbleTalk and Cbox but still looking for more options before I decide which to take.
Have in mind I want to be able to post youtube videos and charts into it and I also want to have option for design makeover.
Thanks!!

Thank you!
Well I started researching on my own then. I made a lot of research in
finding a chatroom for my radio website. I used envolve for a
while till they closed up, pitty. I tried IRC but I truly did not like
the look and feel and the “mess” of text in there.
I had several points which are important to me.
1
– First I needed a chat that can be seen in mobile (all versions) so I
narrowed down the search for html5 chat room that look good on both
mobile and pc.
2 – I needed a custom design, I needed my background to be black or transparent. This was very hard to find (my site is dark).
3 – I do not like to install the chat in my server as this is high cpu and resource consumer. So I need a chat service.
4 – Lastly, I needed the ability to add youtube videos and upload files.
I have checked several chats and only 2 met my needs, RumbleTalk and Cbox.
I choose RumbleTalk finally as it can be integrated into my page and not only as toolbar.
Glad to see you have founded a solution.
Thread closed, thank you.

[Completed] [Q] Vast TCP6 connections

Did several searches here on XDA and with Google before posting this thread-
I purchased an LG V400 Gpad 7 a week ago. After rooting it I installed OS Monitor, busy box , a terminal emulator and Droidwall- I have a little bit of experience with Android but am by no means knowledgeable.
The tablet does not have a place for a SIM card i.e. wifi only. I find even using Droidwall to try to cut down connections to the outside world, that there are a bunch of TCP6 connections either close/wait or ack/wait or established. I have been using Elixir to discover processes and kill or disable them when possible. Many times kill only results in a respawn. In addition to this killing isn't persistent i.e. next reboot everything is back. A number of them for example LG Hidden menu, G System server, LGATCMD service - and others- seem to want to 1)establish outside connections 2) looking at their permissions, they want to know everything and 3) some of them aren't killable even through the terminal emulator i.e. kill -9 pid#.
I like what the tablet allows me to do. I don't like everything talking to the world in process of this. Couple of questions 1) is there a way to get rid of this crap- why for example since its not a phone do I need LG Hidden menu running and establishing outside connections and 2) Anyone know of a ROM here on XDA that might work with this tablet?
Thanks for all of the expertise here - any suggestions would be deeply appreciated..

[Completed] Please delete thread/post

I have scoured the interwebs for a solution, yet found only obsolete and empirically ineffectual methods, aka "setprop net.dsn1" etc., none of which persist, neither immediately after the issued command nor, especially, after a reboot.
Please allow me to make it clear, that I find it perverse and loathsome that an "app" would be necessary to accomplish this feat. The indolent '"app" mentality', which is the sadly presumed remedy for nearly every action other than involuntary motion, is a contract with the assassin of freedom – and I abhor it venomously.
I have owned an Android (presently with CM11 ROM installed, with TWRP recovery) device for two weeks. It is the first Android device (or smart, tablet, etc.) I've ever owned or dared t fuss with. I particularly purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 because it was supported by CM. I am normally a Linux user and value my liberties of hack-ability. Oddly, I was able to successfully configure my DNS via a terminal emulator within my Android device, but recent updates seem to have thwarted my efforts. Apparently, resolv.conf no longer exists and some fundamental changes have been implemented, though this is all new to me and I ain't sure.
I believe that a user should be able to configure their own DNS (amongst other things) and therefore request assistance from the wizards of xda. Google is simply unacceptable, and Verizon hijacking plain makes me mad.
Show me the way, to 208.67.222.222!
