[APP] Alibi - A witness for every moment

Hi Guys,
I just launch a new app with couple for my friends, it's called Alibi
Google Play link - click here
When activated, Alibi will constantly collect the last hour of audio, video/images and location data from your Android device and temporarily store it to the phone's cache. It is optimized not to deplete your battery, and runs discretely in the background.
Once Alibi has captured evidence that you would like to save, open the app and save the data to your local storage, compressed and hidden to prevent it from being tampered with. Alibi never stores or shares any data with any party for any reason.
Alibi is built around privacy, and seeks to provide evidence of any situation from police interactions, vehicle accidents, altercations, arguments, workplace harassment, and much more. It gives users the confidence to stand up for themselves in the face of misguided authority or misplaced aggression. Never be without an alibi.

Fast Access (Floating Toolbox) is now free and open source

hello guys (before i start sorry for my bad English), i have just decided two days ago, that there is nothing better than getting help from the community and other fellow developers. and i know for any successful application, it must meet the users exceptions by having a well functioning and neat application that does what it says and serve the user needs. and for all the other reasons, i have made my application Fast Access (Floating Toolbox) FREE &open source so people can use it and help me improve it as much as i can.
for those who are interested to check out the source code you can pull it from here: Source Code
for those who like to install the application: Play Store
The application has icon packs support and loads more features.
Please guys give a shot and help me to improve it by suggesting and reporting bugs whether here or through github.
thank you very much for your help.

[4.0.3+] Your phone camera has a unique fingerprint

Your phone camera has a unique pattern.
This can be seen as both, chance for strong authentication as well as a risk for privacy.
Learn all about this pattern, the PRNU, and compare it against other users to see just how unique your is.
This is part of a research project conducted at Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and Politecnico di Milano.
Learn your Phone's fingerprint by uploading 20 photos in total.
They will be processed on our servers and the unique pattern of your camera will be presented to you after processing.
We hope to implement novel mobile transactions and spread awareness about the privacy implications.
You will be able to learn more and see live statistics after you finished uploading. :good:
You help science and gain some insight.

[APP][5.0+][ALPHA]CustomRecents

Hey guys! This app is an attempt to replace on of the least customisable component of the Android UI: The Recent Apps screen.
Unlike existing task switchers on the Play Store, this app can truly act as a Recents screen replacement. This includes both task switching and task killing.
Unlike the hugely popular OmniSwitch, this app can include a wide range of interfaces for the user to choose from (Current release has only one interface, more will be added with time).
As I said earlier, this is only an attempt, and a crude representation of the actual Stable release.
To testers:
The app is open source (code on GitHub). Feel free to contribute to its development. Also send reports of the bugs that you may find.

This sounds interesting, will try when released.
Thanks.

Sandbox

i'm not a developer and have been out of XDA since my HTC HD2
like many of us i have security and privacy concerns regarding today's internet landscape. i had an idea which i'm not sure if it's feasible or not and therefore i'm dropping it here to see if anyone is willing to pick up the project.
i was considering a rom that could take advantage of the blockchain system for most of it's communications (i know, still not enough users), an with the following features:
- a sandbox system to run most apps, giving fabricated sensor data to the apps
- any internet access for the apps would have to be filtered through a firewall that would ask permission, (option for permanent permission or ask every time)
- the firewall would, where possible, identify the server/website that the app was contacting and provide some information about the data being transmitted
- some apps could be given trusted status by the user, (privacy warning given to the user).
- other security features such as the option to completely shutdown the radios.
i'm not aware of anything like this, specially the sandbox, any sugestions would be welcome

Looking at it through a different angle, if there was a spoof library for sensors, contacts, camera etc., we could do a default for all apps to use the spoof library and authorize some apps as we open them to access the real information?
