Hi guys,
Today morning, I was on the bus with a friend. He wanted to check whether his phone's magnetometer works. So he asked me if I had the 'compass' app. I did have it, but I didn't know how to send it to him. I knew that it was possible, but I didn't have the app that allows you to share files. But luckily he had the app. So he sent the sharing app to me using the sharing app itself so that I could share the app that he wanted. Too many “sharing” words in the last sentence, forgive me.
So I was now able to send the 'compass' app to him easily in seconds.
The 'sharing app' that we used is called “ShareCloud (share apps)”. Certainly not the most creative name but trust me it is very useful. This app lets us send apps via Bluetooth, face to face(p2p, by creating a wi-fi hotspot), WhatsApp, facebook, email and numerous other ways. I will talk about some of them further in the post. Basically all it does is, it copies the installation file and sends it through the specified way. So once the app is received on the other device, it needs to be installed. The file will only get installed is the device supports the app to function. Using this app is a child's play. It has a very easy-to-use interface. You literally have to just select the app and send it. It is as simple as that. This app is available for free to download on the google play store. This app doesn't take up much space and it works almost magically. The best part is, you don't have to root your phone to use this app.

Upon finding out that I can't upload my programs made in app inventor to the market (currently google restricts this), I decided to help some other AI developers out and allow them to post their apps for download on my website: www.xxthe3dmanxx.com
Curently I am only accepting apps that fall under these requirements.
1) The app must be useful to the android community (no fart or porn type apps)
2) The app must be free (currently I have no way to accept paid apps)
3) OpenSource is recommended but not required.
4) The app must have been made by you.
5) Only app inventor made apps will be accepted.
If you are interested send me a pm with a description of your app and your name for (application credit), if your app is a beta please list known issues with it. If I approve your app I will send you info on where you can send your app. Also if you would like, once your app gets approved you can also send me an icon for your app and I will replace the stock app inventor icon for you (currently there is no way to do this inside app inventor).
Please allow 2 days for a response from me.
hey =D
I can't even get into the appinventor D=
Does some1 know how to get in there?

App inventor is currently available by invite from google only. Go HERE and fill out the form then wait for your invite. Hope that helps.
OK, you have a great android phone. You ran out and grab yourself a great android tablet. You found something good on your android phone. You have to repeat the same process on your tablet to get it on your tablet. Ok, you found something really fun on your android tablet, you have to repeat the same process to install on your android phone. What is wrong with this picture? The phone and the tablet does NOT talk to each other.
Here is my question: What can one do fun with an android phone and an android tablet together to have more fun than just 1+1=2?
1) share files, documents, music, video, pictures etc. Wire or wireless, BT or over the inet whatever.
2) sharing apps between the two. Has anyone tried those so call "app sharing" programs in the android world. It is the most pathetic/moron apps I have ever seen. Those "app sharing" app will only share the app titles, the receipient still has to work, to download, find the source to download the app. Aint that pathetic? To be correct, those app sharing app should be rightfully called, "app title sharing"
3) Like in the palm days, using IR, one can beam the app or contacts to each other, can one do that with two android tablets? or android phone to android tablet? Or...
can anybody shed some light on the above, or plug in a link or an app? TIA,
bun

1. Um both have file storage systems so you can use bluetooth to transfer files
2. Impossible without root, where you can save apps and data then restore them to other devices (titanium backup)
3. Who needs IR? Sync contacts, calendar, anything google to the cloud. Sync once and everything is there. Whenever you need to update anything sync again. Bam!

So i am just wondering, there are so much different apps for android on the market, and most of them has a lot of access to phone's functions. Now for example i am always logged in to Gmail, and theoretically can a random app scan and copy my gmail's data and send it trough internet? Really curious..

This question is not really an issue of Android security this is a question about general security. Can an app look at your gmail app directly and copy data and send it out...not exactly no, an app can't forcibly connect itself to another app to scan data.
However...
That question is actually not relevant because such a task is unnecessary for malicious apps. Lets say you install a malicious app that wants to copy your gmail data. What it will do is not watch the app itself but it will watch the network packets being sent to and from the app, logging and tracking those.
This is not the only way to get the data though because any data saved on your sdcard is accessible from an app if you give it permission to do so.
The MOST important thing to look at when installing an app is the permissions the app is requesting when it installs. This can be confusing as well because some apps will request full internet access because they need it but this can also be used by a malicious app to steal your data.
The important thing to do is research. The more you learn about the app the better off you are.
-------
Just to clarify, this applies to all apps of any kind on any platform including but not limited to Android, iPhones, Blackberry, Windows Phone, WebOS, Windows PC, Mac OSX, Linux or etc. - ALWAYS learn as much as you can and are comfortable with before installing anything...if you are not comfortable with a particular app or learning more about it then don't install it. That is not to say it may be malicous, it is just to say it could be a bad idea for other reasons. (for example, if it is a developer tool or a configuration tool that you don't understand or haven't researched enough to understand...then you could potentially damage your device with something that is a legitimate tool)

Good answer, you are right!, but you say do a research before installing, but it's not really possible unless you are a programmer and checking whole code The best rated apps still have many different permission requirement and i have no idea what they are doing.
For example app can request a new password change for example on paypal and steal packets which come to my gmail about new password.^^
Security Apps
Hi,
in my eyes the best way is to use programs like PDroid. You cann adjist the rights of every App regarding send SMS for example.
LBE Privacy Guard may be also an Option. (runs not on my Device - SGS+)
(i use Pdroid 2.0)
you should also read the comments in the store, and the needed rights from the app before install. The best Apps to trust are open source apps.

Research generally involves a Google search...
Editor's Choice in the market are safe bets, you know, the blue icon.
But then there are the millions of other apps, and frankly, I tend to toe the app name plus xda for instance, Google will show you xda threads about the app, if the posts are normal, you can be sure it's not malicious.
Stuff like that...
Also, fake market comments are really easy to spot and are a dead giveaway

Hello, I need xda's help.
This is for a learning tab that uses in academy. This app makes that we can download apps, but these apps are gone because this app intercepted downloaded apps. In addition, this app intercept apps that app was in tab. Like internent, chrome, maps, google+, youtube and so on. And it makes that we can't use another aps in class. So this was a describing this app. I want that first, we can download apps and we can use it for permanent. Secondly, I can use another apps in class. Thirdly, we unlock apps that was blocked. Finally, this was a very hard for me. This three apps has administrator rights. If we want to release it, this tab is restarting. This app is asssociated with chungdahm learning. I want you to we can use another apps for permanent, next, use another apps in class, thirdly, I want to unlock apps that blocked. Finally, to release administrator rights. I will link it for Dropbox. It has cdi launcher 2.4.20, cdi guardian 2.2.9
Sorry but I'll upload cdi utility later. So I want you to modify these three apps.
But it's ok that you modify these three apps for that we can use another apps for permanent. Thank you. And if you modified it, can you send these three files for [email protected]? It is my gmail. If you give me an email to this, I'll give you a file for you

Contrary to the popular belief, XDA is not a site that will help you to "hack" into anything. If certain apps are blocked at your college, it will be for a reason.
I am sorry, you will have to look else where.
Thanks

Hello guys this wasn't made by me, but since the author released it to the public, im just sharing the steps, if you guys wanna thanks
say hello to mcfasa09 here https://www.reddit.com/r/GearS3/comments/7t9nfd/tizen_messages_app_non_samsung_phone/
"If you don't have a Samsung phone I just found out you can still launch the Messages app. This app allows you to see SMS conversations for all texts sent from the watch. The app will not be visible in the app drawer (thanks a lot, Samsung), but it is still installed on the watch!
If you use a face from an app like WatchMaker you can set a tap action to open an app, and sure enough, "Messages" is listed as an app (select one of the elements in your face, Tap Action/Watch: Select Application/Messages).
What this ultimately means is that it is possible to create an app that, when launched, auto-launches Messages. Essentially adding Messages itself to the app drawer. For now using a tap action is fine, but I'll be making an app for this during this coming week (Of course I couldn't put it on the Samsung app store, but sideloading it to your S3(S2/Sport) will work fine). If you beat me to it please post a link to the download.
Thanks!!
Another note: Once you look up a contact in the messages app, you can then send texts via voice. Another once thought "Smasung phones only" ability.
It's a very simple piece of code. Again if someone wants to beat me to it please post the link to download it (the Tizen Studio project file would also be appreciated). Here's what you need to make it:
https://developer.tizen.org/community/code-snippet/native-code-snippet/launch-another-application
https://developer.tizen.org/ko/deve...anagement/application-controls?langredirect=1
Note that the link is for a native app, rather than a web app.
You will also need to know the package name of the Messages app which can be found using an sdb shell command:
http://developer.samsung.com/forum/thread/how-can-i-know-installed-package-name-by-tool-/201/280289?boardName=SDK&startId=zzzzz~"
When are you releasing the app
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I would also like to know.
I'm new to Gear S3. On the link in OP, the dev told that the app should be sideloaded to the watch. How do I sideload apps on my Gear S3? Is it the same as using adb tool?
Any update on this?
HI Any update on this.
Really need help to enable the messaging and call function in my samsung watch.
