[Q] Substitute for Latitude Real-Time Updating - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I used to love the real-time updating feature that used to be present in Latitude until a few months ago, when it was removed.
Have any of you found a good substitute?
The functionality I'm looking for is the ability for me to request real-time updates from another phone.
I know I can provide real-time updates from apps like Glympse or backtitude or latify. I instead want to initiate the request from my phone and receive the updates from another phone.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Commission an Application?

Hello all,
I work for a company in the commercial and residential services industry, and we are looking at possibly expanding into using tablets to help improve efficiency and customer service. However, there is nothing currently out that would suffice for our use, because the database we use at our main office is a proprietary SQL database program. I trying to get a good direction of where to look to be able to hire a programmer to create an Android program for us than can hook into our SQL database.
Any information or leads as to where I might be able to start looking would be fantastic!

[Q] Is it possible to create a real anti-theft software?

We have tons of Anti-Theft apps in Android market, all of them do more or less the same thing - track and report your lost / stolen phone's location, disable features or lock the phone remotely. All of them are apps running on Android and will not function if the someone manages to flash a new ROM onto the phone.
Is there a possibility to have a real anti-theft software running in our phones? By this it means the software should not be running as an Android app, but may be on a higher level, and it should stay and run all the time irrespective of whatever a stolen phone will possibly undergo. I guess it is nearly impossible to create a software like this, unless and until there is some level of hardware support which can't be easily replaced or tampered with.
Curious to hear from the experts in this section.
I searched the forum for such a question but in vain - Mods, please move/delete this if it has been discussed in some other thread already.

[Q] Searching for a proper bike companion app

Hey all,
I am planning to do a lot of mountainbiking after this winter. Therefore, I want to have some sort of companion app which can run on my Galaxy S II while it's in a mount on my handlebar.
The last few days I've been searching for such app which meets these requirements:
Overview with map and speed/distance related information
Current speed, avg. speed, trip distance, total distance...
So, essentially, I want a single-screen, hands free, reference app, which displays my current position on a Google Map / Satellite overview (preferably the latter) and an overlay or a dedicated part of the screen with information mentioned in the second point here above...
For your reference I created a quick mash-up to make it more clear what I am looking for:

Sorry for the spaces but as a new user I am not able to post images or links yet...
If anyone is aware of something similar, please let me know!
Thanks!
Give Locus a try

[Q] Looking for: Peer to Peer location based assistance request app

I'm looking for an app that allows users to send a request for help/assistance with built in location, short message and some pictures.
Other users detecting a request within a preset range would be notified of the event and be able to respond.
I've found a couple of apps that do this sort of thing, however they are centralised/restricted to specific areas. For example Australia has only two cities covered, each by a different app.
My desire implement it for off-road driving recovery requests. I'm a member of a Facebook group for such requests of people whom are bogged or otherwise challenged. The most common issue I see it people asking where the stuck vehicle is located and where is "such and such" track located.
A few times when a request has been nearby to me, I've not seen it until too late because Facebook felt it wasn't important enough to show it to me.
I've search everywhere I can think of but an unable to find anything close to suitable. I'm hoping someone here might know of something (or even be willing to start a new project).
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Restricted Access on Samsung S6

Good day guys,
I have a client that requires the following and I was hoping that you guys can please offer some advise.
They are currently using the Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920V) they want us to setup all phones in the following manner:
When phone boots up it needs to automatically open up a specific application, the users should only be able to use the app and only be able to use Camera, Google Maps and SMS function.
Users are not allowed to use any other functions on the phone except for above mentioned applications.
So my question is, will I require a newly created custom rom or is there a way to get this done with out any development?
Thanks in advance for your feedback, it is highly appreciated.
