Database Info

Android Town

Ok, Android Town is now an obsolete name and application on the market. It was renamed to Peeples. Peeples is a seperate app on the market so you would need to download that one. It uses the same DB as Android Town so all your information is saved.
Peeples is a social community application which is location based. It enables users to see other users of the application on the map and strike up a conversation with them. Privacy options are also available.
So far the application has over 11k users.
Peeples has the added options of:
- uploading profile pictures and avatar through the application
- sending files from SD card with messages as attachments (5Mb limit for now)
Try it out and let me know what you think.

Running it on a G1 running CM 4.2.15.1.
Noticed a few things.
1) Registration via App Only (not a big deal, just no indication on the site as such)
2) Registration within the app resulted in "passwords do not match" ANY time I left a password field even when they did match
3) Map reacts slowly when being moved or zoomed in/out
As there's no one yet in my area run ning this, I haven't tested many of the other features. I'll report as I experience more.

Thanks for giving it a try. Hopefully some more US citizens register so you'll be able to interact with them. 5000 kms (around 3100 miles) is the biggest radius so far. Most of the users are in Europe at the moment.
Thanks for the heads up on the registration part. I will definitely try to improve it.
I was also thinking about adding content from social networks if users have any (FB, Twitter, FLickr...). What do you think about that?
And thanks again for testing

Have yet to install the newer release for testing, but looking forward to it.
The concept of linking other social media is a fine idea, provided that there are switches set in place to allow for selected/unselected status. I know plenty of users who would want to publish information for their Facebook, but may want to avoid doing so on other networks.
Either way, yeah, further integration with social media is a fine idea.

ill install and test tmmrw probably

seems pretty cool ill make sure to throw it on my EVO as soon as it freakin comes out

Added to my G1. Will let you know what happens.

Cheers. I sent you a msg in the app as well. Can you test how the send message screen looks on lower resolution please?

Testing it out now , but not many *users* in norway.
I'm the only one

Application is still in its's early days. If you choose a larger radius you will see more users (around 45 accross the world right now)

Application has just been published to the market as well, under the Social category of applications.

How about making a public chat channel that every one is in , when we connect . And late maybe switch it so it will be local / country only.
All depending on how many users this app gets

That's actually a very good idea. I'll be sure to do that as soon as possible...shouldn't be that hard (at least for a single one for starters)

Good nice app!

Already tweeted this. I'll Buzz it as well.

Private Messages look fine on the G1. No issue there.
I'll be comparing my experience to my friend's on the Nexus. Hopefully provide you some better feedback concerning how this works with the G1's older hardware.
Edit: First things we noticed, "Passwords do not match!" error is still present when registering via the app, even if the passwords do match. This issue has been replicated on the G1 and the Nexus 1.
Other noted issues:
Attempt to "Add as friend" on the G1 results in a toast of "Error". No other information contained in error.
Sending a picture on the G1 took about 1 min 45 seconds from time of shot to "Picture sent!" toast showed up.
I'll see what I can do to provide better information (such as screenshots, etc)
Let me know what else you could use.

Just a thought, an option to register via the desktop(internet) as well.
i couldn't figure out how to register until I found it as an option in settings when the app was open.
Doh.
It's lonely in the south of england......

Working on the mentioned bugs as we speak. Will probably release an upgrade today that might fix a few things.
@squirreleater: the internet register option is definitely needed. I agree.

anyone from germany?
feature request: please include option to add user with the username directly so that people from here can invite eachother other than searching on the map

Wont install on my Hero ??

ttrss-reader, Android client for Tiny Tiny RSS (php)

Hi folks,
i am proud to announce the Release of v0.5.11 of ttrss-reader, the android-client for Tiny Tiny RSS:
TTRSS-Reader for Android
Tiny Tiny RSS
TT-RSS is a php/javascript-based reader with a google-reader-like interface, running on your own server with mysql/postgresql and php. It supports multiple user-accounts, feed-categories, labels, sharing of articles and automatic updates every x minutes.
ttrss-reader for Android
Ttrss-reader for Android was started at code.google.com by J.Devauchelle but as i couldn't reach him for several weeks i forked the project: (see note above for URL)
I implemented some usability features and then started implementing local caching since before EVERY single piece of data was requested from the server, slowing down the browsing a lot.
Now i think the program is in a quite usable state, although the local-caching doesn't work so well. The server-side provides API-methods to retrieve data as JSON-Objects but they are focused on transferring a low amount of data in every request (eg. only one article with content is sent at a time, not all new articles which would be much easier).
So if anyone want to keep his feeds away from google and do stuff on his own, in my opinion this is the way to do it. And please excuse my english. ^^
I would appreciate any ideas what could be improved or bugreports and i'd feel honoured if some of you would like to try this app or even join developement.
Some Screenshots:
Greetings,
nils

Hi,
Just to say that I like this app but my ttrss instance seems too big for this app. Android ask me to kill the app everytimes it makes a refresh of the data.
for information : my ttrss run on a PC and is hosted at home. It has +12000 articles
Keep up

Definitely trying this soon
My carrier should have the new Android phone I want in this week. I will definitely try this and get back to you!

Getting error message? I installed this, and put in my tt-rss location, username, and password. It gives me this error message:
"error":"API_DISABLED"

@celticchrys: That means you have to login to the webinterface and enable the API in your user-preferences. Dont know why but the API-access is a per-user-setting in Tiny Tiny RSS so every user has to enable it for himself.
Greetings,
nils

@lordnils: Thanks, I'll give that a try.
***EDIT***
It force closed on me a couple of times, did fetch my articles once, and now says it cannot. I also got a very long error, many screens long, that begins with :
Oupd...
I was unable to conenct to your Tiny Tiny TSS instance, please check your connection and/or connection settings.
Error details:
A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at character 1 of <html>
The above is then followed by basically the entire code for my login page.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hm, something seems to be wrong with the URL for API-Access. You should make sure you entered the URL in the settings exactly like the URL you use to access the webinterface of Tiny Tiny RSS.
If the problem still exists it would be helpful if you provided me with the output of ADB (or aLogcat from the market if you dont want to mess with the USB-connection and the Android-SDK). It would be the easiest way to resolve the problem if you opened an issue on <url for the google-code page of our project where you can start an issue> so other people involved could try to fix the problem, too.
Greetings,
nils
ps: sry for not posting urls, i dont think it is a good practice to encourage people to spam somewhere so they can post links. so i just dont do it and wait for the protection to dissappear. :/

sent pm
lordnils, I've sent you a PM with the requested log.
Thanks!

I just released the TTRSS-Reader on the market:

Hey lordnils,
I'm having the same problem as celticchrys. I am using the exact url that I login to via a browser, API is enabled, but still get the documented error within the program.
Any ideas what I might look at?

First of all, which versions are you using (Tiny Tiny RSS and TTRSS-Reader)?
Then: Can you acquire the output of logcat (aLogcat from the market or "adb logcat" if you got the SDK installed)?
If you are using old versions (older then Tiny Tiny RSS v.1.4.3.1 and TTRSS-Reader v0.7.3) please update first and try again. There are some issues with older Versions of the API which could cause this problem.
Greetings,
nils

I've just checked, and I'm running TTRSS 1.4.2 on my server, and I have the latest Market version on my phone.
Perhaps this is the problem! I'll look into updating my TTRSS server install, and get back to you.

Thank you! This is great! I didn't want to move all my feeds to google so this is perfect!

cyanogenmod.com infected with a virus

This is old news, try not to revieve old topics and news.
It happened, but action was taken and nothing happened.
No need to panic, or slap the panic button.
I suggest you delete the topic or change the topic title by adding [Resolved]

it's to keeps n00bs away
they are tired of hearing "when is the ETA for CM# for my phone?"

As much as I appreciate constructive criticism for pressing the figurative panic button, you could at least reveal the source that says that the issue have been resolved.
Kaspersky reacted today, so the issue is not that ancient.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

is not just Kaspersky
even Avast and AVG detect is as a virus too, through most of December and November of last year

Yeah, You realize that some of our "development tools" act in ways that are similar to "Hacker Tools" (ie, Trojans) So it's no surprise to me.
ZOMG CM, one of the better development teams has a virus on their site and they don't know about it, and/or resolve it.

I.E: False Positives.

Kapersky reports as infected only .png and .jpg files.
Do you think these are DEV tools?
Has any of you even read the article I linked to in the first post?
If you check the CM forum, there has been a few fresh reports yesterday.
Kaspersky only pinpoints graphic files. I'm betting this could be an infection, especialy that it happened before.
I can't post links yet, but browse cm forum for "Why is Cyanogenmod distributing malware?"
I'm not saying they're not great devs at CM. It could happen to anyone if someone really wanted to do some damage.

The virus on their site is coded in a certain manner that when you ask for an ETA, you get infected. It is their way of showing their appreciation for your impatience...

It's a false positive. If you're a web developer you would know that it's somehow a common practice. It's called image tracker. It's a PHP script embedded in (often in a 1x1 gif image) which whenever you open a site with the said image embedded it executes a php script. It is mostly used for tracking page hits/visits or on ad banners.
Sample code for that using GD is
Code:
<?php
header(‘Content-type: image/png’);echo gzinflate(base64_decode(’6wzwc+flkuJiYGDg9fRwCQLSjCDMwQQkJ5QH3wNSbCVBfs
EMYJC3jH0ikOLxdHEMqZiTnJCQAOSxMDB+E7cIBcl7uvq5rHNKaAIA’));
$db=new PDO(‘sqlite:’.dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).’/openanalytics.sqlite’);
$db->prepare(“INSERT INTO hits (id,ip,page,timestamp) VALUES (?,?,?,?)”)->execute(array($_GET['id'],$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],
$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],time()));
?>
Code:
header(‘Content-type: image/png’);echo gzinflate(base64_decode(’6wzwc+flkuJiYGDg9fRwCQLSjCDMwQQkJ5QH3wNSbCVBfs
EMYJC3jH0ikOLxdHEMqZiTnJCQAOSxMDB+E7cIBcl7uvq5rHNKaAIA’));
Makes the code an image which kaspersky detects as malicious since its hidden.
And
Code:
$db=new PDO(‘sqlite:’.dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).’/openanalytics.sqlite’);
$db->prepare(“INSERT INTO hits (id,ip,page,timestamp) VALUES (?,?,?,?)”)->execute(array($_GET['id'],$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],
$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],time()));
is the PHP code made to track the number of page visits and store it on a sql file
With enough knowledge it could be used for cookie/session stealing and phishing that's why it is mostly detected as virus.

looks like the site got hacked again...

Also, until I disabled kaspersky for *.cyanogenmod.* every CM rom I downloaded was marked with a trojan. Decided to risk it though, I trust they know what they're doing and couldn't possibly benefit from a trojan in all of their terminals.

we just be careful of non-market installers...

Yeah... they were hacked again. Seems their virus got onto my system after visiting their site. Be careful. If we can't trust their site, can we trust their roms?

why dont you just turn off, when accessing it..

[APP]DroidSheep : ARP-Spoofing App for Android

DroidSheep is an Android app for Security analysis in wireless networks and capturing facebook, twitter, linkedin and other accounts.
DroidSheep requires ROOT!​
Please note:
DroidSheep was developed as a tool for testing the security of your accounts.
This software is neither made for using it in public networks, nor for hijacking any other persons account.
It should only demonstrate the poor security properties network connections without encryption have.
So do not get DroidSheep to harm anybody or use it in order to gain unauthorized access to any account you do not own! Use this software only for analyzing your own security!​
Here are videos of what it does:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4ROlCgTr80
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIWkee7RjbU
www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7NUluxUORs
Here is a video Tutorial on how to use it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N-SBx5EF3g​
How does this work?
As already announced DroidsSheep supports almost every website – also “big” webservices like facebook and Yahoo.​
How does that work this simple?
There are many users that do not known that air is the transmission medium when using WiFi.
Therefore information is not only transfered to its receiver but also to any other party in the network within the range of the radio waves.

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Usually nothing special happens because the WiFi users discard packets that are not destined to themselves.
DroidSheep does not do this. It reads all the packets looking at their contents.
Is a website sending a clear recognition feature within a message’s content, which can identify a user (“SessionID”), then DroidSheep is able to read it although it is not intended to external users.
Moreover DroidSheep can use this token to use it as its own.
The server can’t decide whether the authorized user or DroidSheep has sent the request.
​
How can I protect myself?
The only satisfying answer is: SSL respectively HTTPS.
Many providers already offer HTTPS, even facebook, however it must often be enabled in the settings first.
When using HTTPS the data are still sent to alle participants in the WiFi-network, too, but because the data has been encrypted it is impossible for DroidSheep to decrypt the contect of a message - remaining only a complete mess of letters, with which an attacker can’t do anything.
The real problem is that not every website provides SSL. What to do when you are in a public network (hotel, airport, etc.), you also want to use this and the site does not offer HTTPS though?
You can use a VPN-connection
For this the computer sets up an encrypted channel to a confidential computer which again transfers the data to the website.​
Please note this is NOT my work I am simply sharing this and giving a direct link to the APK (it was removed from droidsheep.de because of German rules).

Build 14: http://www.iuptech.com/public/SD/download/droidsheep-current.apk <-- Thanks mbirth for build 14 link.
Build 15: Attached to this post - compiled by mbirth <-- Thanks
All credit goes to Andreas Koch for this amazing app! - Thanks a million!
​

build 13 is the latest? not 15

If there is a newer version, please post a link of the apk here and I will add it to the OP.

There's build 14: http://www.iuptech.com/public/SD/download/droidsheep-current.apk
Build 15 is nowhere to be found for now…

OP updated with build 14

Im having no luck with this app on my nexus s 4g. Which is a shame. I can post debugging info if somebody could help me out.

The v15 is in the official SVN: https://code.google.com/p/droidshee...idsheep/DroidSheep_public/AndroidManifest.xml
And since there's no official APK, you have to compile it yourself. Thus the different signature.
Attached is v15 compiled by myself.

Does it work on ICS?
I want to be sure if it works befor im rooting my Note

Yes

not working xperia neo cant search for anything i leave it for about 10min still nothing i also done what youtube tells me to do still nothing im using my home router with password....

Ive just come accross this app and have downloaded, but Nobody tested this with ICS? thats surprising! lol
Will test it this eve and report tomorrow.

It doesnt work.lol
I connected to wifi and did some browsing on other devices. I.e tablets.
didnt find anything.

It works for me, but there's a mess with sessions. Probably you should consider mapping each session to each Wifi network and not showing old ones with new networks... Just a suggestion

It is working on ICS, perhaps you have IP client isolation on WiFi router...

Not working for me on Galaxy Note ICS... Do you think it's related to my conection? How should I change it?
EDIT i installed the v15 version and know it's perfect!

It shows up under my kapersky as potential virus, any reason for this??

[Completed] Android 2 Android Screen Share w/touch

So Ive been looking for the past 3 days and haven't had much success in finding something that will do what I'm looking for. Im hoping some of you fine minds :angel: here at xda can help me out. I have 4 nooks (2 NT's and 2 HD's) and would like to share the screen between any 2 of them with touch functionality. The reason I would like to do this is for some games I have. i.e. Elder Sign Omens. 2 people can play that game on the nook (or any tablet), but would have to pass the tablet back and forth between turns. I would like to share the screen of the one tablet over to the other so as to eliminate the constant passing back and forth. I would like a Bluetooth and wifi option since the NT's dont have Bluetooth.
Heres the scenario I envision:
Grab any 2 nooks.
Run app to connect nooks over wifi/Bluetooth
Within the app I can select which nooks screen to share and then initiate sharing to the other nook
Once setup I can run the game which will then show up on both nooks
And the most important part is that the game can be controlled from either nook.
All my nooks are rooted and running CM10.2 or 11
I have installed and tried several apps to no avail.
TeamViewer
VNC Viewer
Splashtop
Screenshare
Tablet Remote
While Im not a total noob in the field of remote sharing Im also not a wiz at it either :silly: Maybe VNC is the solution, but I was unable to figure out a proper setup for it to work. So if something like that is the answer to my problem could you point me in the direction of a guide that outlines how to set it up between 2 android tablets; Or, if there is an app that I missed that already does this; Or maybe one of you knows about an open source project in the works. Either way any help what-so-ever would be greatly appreciated!
If any further info or clarification is needed from me just ask.
Thanks in advance

I recommend looking at VNC Server on the tablet running the game, and VNC Viewer on the "remote" tablet.
These two threads asked pretty much the same question and got the same answer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1593035
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926879
If you have further questions, I recommend asking on the second thread as it's in a non-device-specific area. Good luck!

Awesome thanks for the quick response. I think I need to work on my search terminology so that I can get better results without being overrun by extras and having to sift through them Something to work on, lol! Thanks again, headin over to those links now!
Edit: Seems to me that those links are just quick responses to brush off a legit question. And w/o testing apparently. While I'm sure vnc works fairly well across phone/tablet to pc it does not seem to be as viable across tablets. At least not in my case. Setup port forwarding on router and I set up the server on one tablet and viewer on the other and am only capable of getting a distorted picture as in this post

Ive tried the following apps with diff combinations of them and had the same exact results

-VNC_Server
Viewers
-VNC Viewer
-androidVNC
So I guess I will just wait for someone to come out with a viable solution or just do without as this seems to be too much of a hassle for anyone to address properly. (As in a "how to guide" or app that actually works)

You shouldn't need to set up port-forwarding if both devices are on the same network (and in that case port-forwarding wouldn't apply anyway).
Sadly, I don't have your combination of devices to test.
TeamViewer would be my second choice but the Anroid TeamViewer client (at least currently) cannot control another Android device running TeamViewer QuickSupport.
