Up front, I am not a developer, just a (newbie) simple end-user.
I vainly searched for an answer on the question as to why a password protected Wi-Fi (router) is not added as 'Trusted Place"-option.
The location can be added alright, but without any further expertise on security, I would assume that a password protected router would be fairly save, or at least as safe as adding a location. Maybe it even has a smaller range?
I believe this is the best forum to post the above question.
Thanks.

Hi all,
This thread pertains to the inbuilt Internet Calling feature on Gingerbread. By default, it uses g.711 but I use an audio broadcast unit which requires g.722.
Is anyone able to help me, with finding out where the prefs are for the default SIP client, and how to enable g.722 as Mon codec de preference?
Many thanks
Perhaps I should post this in Dev...
Well, according to the rules, I'm not allowed to post a development based question in the dev forum. Apparently "If it's not about a ROM, it's not allowed in the development area" - perhaps the 'Dev' area should be renamed 'ROMs', and a separate Development Area should be opened?! That way, serious questions won't get overlooked and moved down so quick with the masses of repeated questions from new members.
Anyway - thats my rant...
Here's my actual question - reposted:
Hi folks
OK, this isn't ROM related as such, but it is definitely development related, hence posting here. I'm not a programmer, but I know my way around config files etc. usually. What I'm trying to find out, is this:
Can I adjust the 'built-in' VoIP Client to use a different codec? There's no options available in software, but the config for the client must be somewhere - question is, WHERE would it be? If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'll report my findings
There's a few VoIP things I want to customise, but using the native client, rather than a third party app.
I'm not after a spoon-fed solution - just the clues where to look so I can sort it out.
Many thanks
Just unzip any ROM and look inside,
That would spare you own phone and you can check every single file.
Btw, apk are zip files as well...
I've had a look around, but still haven't found the right things.
I guess the 'Internet Calling' function is part of the main 'phone' app, but I can't find any settings or config files for this.
It should be such a simple change to make; but I'm stuck at the first hurdle!!
Hello world,
yes, I used the search function.
Background: (you may wish to skip to the question)
I'm a multitasker and I don't like Android killing my browser if I use one or two other applications for a minute or so, because I lose all my tabs content that way. While that isn't bad having a good network connection, it is real bad in subway train where I usally read news by phone and the internet connection is very bad.
So I tried many different things in order to prevent android from killing my browser, and finally I found a solution in the opera forum:
(I really would like to link you there, but: "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!")

Here, take this: (sorry, can't post link, see above)
This is Opera Mobile 11.5.3, (...). I repackaged it with a dummy service which increases the OOM priority of the application. This will very effectively prevent Android from killing it.

(google for the complete sentences in that quote will lead you there.)
Adding this dummy service changed the applications oom priority from about 7 to 10 (--> gets killed soon to first) to an oom priority of 2 (which is totally stable for me).
[ooms read by auto memory manager.]
Question:
Is there a relative easy way to add a dummy service to an existing application? Such as "knumsole" did described before? (I tried contacting him, but wasn't successful)
I'd like to be able to do that myself, e.g. if I need a newer version of the browser. With "easy", I mean: I'm not an application developer, and I don't intend to become one. But I am able to extract an .apk file and modify text files in there and so. And if it is necessary, I would also compile that, too.
I use Android 4.1.2 on a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2.
Thank you!

Hi to everyone, this is my first post even if I've often read this beautiful forum. I have a question about hotspot capabilities in CyanogenMod 12 Lollipop (5.0.2). I had my S4(jftlexx) personal WPA protected hotspot (though with a very dummy password) and was sharing connection with my girlfriend, when suddenly looking at the phone I found out two devices where connected. As soon as I was aware I stopped the hotspot and now here's my question: if someone was able to deduct my hotspot password and connected to my personal hotspot, was it able to browse my personal file and eventually steal it?
I'm asking because I have on my phone very sensible data, that should remain on my own. I know that it's not directly possible without a dedicated app installed, like an FTP server (i have superbeam installed even I'm 100% sure its server was not running and sharing nothing), but someone with some knowledge and hacking intentions could be able to do this? thank you, and sorry, I'm a little in panic

Hello all
i want to know about wifi hack . Is there any possibility to hack any wifi passwords ?
Hmm, trouble is afoot.
I wouldn't consider password cracking an appropriate subject for XDA. People have the right to their privacy, for example.
Thread closed.
Does anyone have a phone locator app from the play store?
Hello and good day, @MRC_MR . Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support you require.
However, prior to your next posting, if you are posting a Question Thread, please post it in the Q&A forum. If it is a question within a device forum, using the prefix "Question" is comparable if the option is available.
I've moved your thread to General Q&A.
Thanks for your cooperation!

If you are using an Android device, Google's Find My Device (although I'm pretty sure finding it on https://www.google.com/android/find doesn't require having the app) and I know friends that have Lookout that offer the same functions...
misunderstood the question -- I thought in the context of if it is lost...
Google Maps; You can either share your literal GPS location (latitude & longitude) or share location using a link for a limited or unlimited amount of time....It's what I do/use when needed....
I've heard of Life360 which is very family oriented, but everyone has to be using the app for it to work I imagine....

huh? I'm sorry, I don't understand. Are you asking "And, for example, how are you supposed to do it in [theory] if you were in a forest?"
I've never used Life360, so I can't say, but in Google Maps, you hold any non-street/road location (has to not be a street or road; learned this stupid caveat the hard way that confused me for like 20 minutes figuring out), and either click "share" button or go into the details (raise frame on the bottom), and your GPS location in latitude & longitude will show up in one of the entry details -- even "in the forest" or for any location (I imagine)...
That's how I imagine I would go about it in that circumstance....
