I am looking for a way to protect my sensitive information in a case of "I don't want this person in my phone but if I don't give them my password I'm in deep _______" Let's say I had this set up, and my password for my encrypted (Samsung Galaxy S III Rooted Default Android 4.1) was kitten141, I typed that in and everything worked like a regular encrypted device, now is there a way I could enter "puppy314" in my password to cause the device to (Stop functioning til unlocked by my PC (USB) ) ? Or possibly Wipe/Erase the device.
Edit: Samsung Galaxy S III (T-Mobile's SGH-T999L) Stock Android 4.1.2 with SuperSU Installed as my Root Manager.
I would prefer to keep my phone in its current Rooted state and (If I can) I would also Love to update to a newer version of android, and keep my stuff. I like my Apps, Like Orbot (Android Tor) and don't want to do all these settings over again! Thanks for any help anyone gives me.

I am new to ANDROID, and I am trying to find some type of application that I can run on my PC, and manage my apps/settings/desktop ect... on my phone via my PC.
Thanks for any advice.

MyTouch 2 - G3 running stock Android. (no root)
try android screencast - maybe there is some function you can find useful...it's hosted on googlecode
Thanks but I think screen cast can only be used on a rooted phone....correct ?
My phone is not rooted.
Websharing might be the closest type of app with ROOT
Mmmm... I have stated twice my phone IS NOT ROOTED.
thanks anyways, I guess there must not be one for non rooted phones.

Hi guys,
My question is like this: is is possible to remove or password protect (i.e. locking) WiFi capabilities on an android device (rooted or not)?
I know this can be achieved through renaming a driver file, though I am not sure which one and one would need a rooted phone after all.
The best option is of course locking WiFi with a a password...
Please do not ask why, as it is a pain to explain...

P.S. The user ha no idea if his phone is rooted or not, or how to access the rooted filesystem, or how to rename system files (or which ones).
Can anybody tell me whether it's possible to install android on a tablet pc? E.g. I've got gm10 android tablet pc with android 2.2 on it. It works not so good. E.g.: I can't even log in skype. I can't even install apps from android market. I can't view flash, i can't, i can't. Hardware seems to be well supported. So, my questions: Is there any chance to get it working fine? Is it possible to install android 2.3 or android 3.* on it? Will it support the hardware? Where can i get needed drivers? Can I get them from the currently installed android 2.2? Can I make it forget my e-mail address? Where is android.git.kernel.org? I can't get access to it. (i have another tablet pc as well and i want to install new android on it as well, so it is a common question)
Kernel.org is hacked.
I can restore factory settings by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power.
New flash 10.3 seems to support android 2.2.
Hi,
Complete newb here.... I've forgotten my Unlock Pattern password. I'm on an older model phone (HTC One S running Ice Cream Sandwich, stock). I've attempted to use the Unlock via Google Account, but its telling me "Invalid username or password". The weird thing is:
1) I'm able to login to this account via PC (I'm on it now).
2) I verified that this is the account associated with my Android device (I went under "Recently Used Devices" on my account page)
I've input the username/pw carefully. I've tried variants of the username ([email protected], justplaystore2, etc.)
I'm running out of ideas. The only thing I can guess is that maybe the device expects an older password that I had on this account? I'm unsure if Google has any way to view PW history.
My preference would be to access via the standard method, but I've been poking around how to boot into a recovery environment or mount the storage. Currently when I try and the device is ON it requires the password (windows can't connect). When its in the bootloader or off it doesn't show up as a device.
Any advice on what I should be looking at (for either approach) would be helpful.
Thanks
Hello Guys,
I have a Hilti Laser PD-C device that runs:
android: 4.1.2
build: sparky_silver_2.3.15
I want to note that all apps should be arm not x86 but Im not sure of the DPI.
This runs a special modified Hilti rom. I would love to be able to get a custom rom and add more apps. I am willing to toss some donations for this. Has anyone done anything with this device before?
**** Update: ****​
I was able to get root access via PC version "KING_ROOT"
http://king.myapp.com/myapp/Kingroot/kingroot_pc/KingRoot_pc_en.exe
1. I downloaded the most current sdk for ADB
2. I also downloaded the Hilti update app.
www.hilti.com/updatepdc
3. I was able to use King_Root even while the app didnt see the device and it recognized the device after I clicked connect.
4. The main ROM is very difficult to get around. You cant just click an app you side-loaded. Download a launcher that matches the android version. I used smart launcher, no reason, just the first I found. Use ADB to sideload on to the device.
(adb install "app name") https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/smart...1-build-054-android-apk-download/#description
5. From here I got full control to the apps I sideloaded. I am still having issues with connecting to BT on my note9 for the internet.
It is what it is... But thanks for the help. I hope anyone else looking finds this.
