1st off I have looked through the forums and none that are active projects come near this to my knowledge, so if I missed it, I preemptivly apologize.
So I have been oogling this for months since I watched Iron Man 2 back in november and have been messing around with app developer and theme creators to try and make a few variations of this thing work.
This is my first post so it won't let me post a picture of what im talking about.
So.... if you head to concept-phones.com and search for "iron man". You will see what I mean.
Now Im not looking for the point and click and take over a monitor thing (though that would be awesome) im looking for the sleek design of the graphics rendered.
At first i thought it would be for the normal apps, not very practical with a screen like the droid 2 has, maybe for the xoom, but not the D2Global.
Then I thought maybe just a file manager with a sleek look.
I have tried many variations and it makes me go crazy. Then my upstairs neighbor flooded thier apt and fried my computer, so all my work is now gone.
So I ask for help. Seasoned programmers of themes can you help me with ideas/an app that took 10 minutes for you to make that makes me feel both happy and emasculated. I am happy to answer any questions and my aim SN is on my profile. I also answer emails often.
Thanks

My daughter has a HTC Inspire & recently lost it due to behavior unbecoming for a young lady!! My question is is there a way to gain root access in order to blow out the password file & access the phone or any other trick that wont reset everything? If im being honest, Im scared to death of what I might find but also believe its something that needs to be addressed before something even worse happens! Any of you with daughters know what im talking about.
I guess I could just record a youtube video of me putting a couple rounds in it!
Thanks in advance!

this should do it
That looks like a nice program to instal on the device after I get into it but as it stands now the phone is locked & I dont even think its even rooted at this time! I need a tool or windows download of some sort. Any help greatly appreciated!
How about this?
http://androidadvices.com/unlock-android-phone-forgot-pin-password-screen-lock/
It should work but it will require you to know the Gmail account (username and password) that your daughter used when she setup the phone in order to access android market on your PC and download the app.
Good luck

Do you know the # of characters for the password?
Start by trying things that you know your daughter is into... favourite band, tv show, etc.. or simple things like her birthday, her best friend's name
But honestly, why wouldn't you just ask her?
Tell her AT&T needs to know her password so they can try to recover the phone... just get creative, then once you unlock it install the app and you're good to go!
Yeah I figured out the password & tried to install the program but it says for security your phone is set to block installation of non market apps & takes me to settings but i couldnt find any options to allow me to do it.
Is this a relevant article or is there an newer or easier way?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706887
Go to
Menu > Settings > Applications
Check the "unknown sources" box, good to go.
Not sure if AT&T still locks their phones from doing this.. but if so, the option won't be there..
I can't imagine that they would do still lock them from sideloading because then you wouldn't be able to use the Amazon app store..
Let me know

Jesus man ......... i so wish you hadn't posted this bro ........*sigh*.
I have 6 year old twin girls ......... and one of them Gretel ........ already has the most inappropriate friends you could possible imagine ...............
Am not being 'square' in believing 6 year olds do not need high heels am I??
That 6 year olds encouraging each other to kiss boys is unnecessarily early??
Or that in 2012 hair length and colour of garment should not be a big gender signifier??
Dood .......... please tell me it gets better??
Yeah its NOT giving me that option..... Im updating the software in hopes that fixes it. any other work arounds for sideloading if not?
And no sir unfortunately it DOESNT get better! Im gonna end up in prison!! LOL
No offence, but at six years old, you should be able to dictate who her friends are - so long as you have the mother's (wife's?) support
I do hear what you are saying.. environmentally it's hard nowadays.. so much inappropriate influence from media/friends/etc
but my five year old daughter does what I say.. end of story.. it all boils down to the parents. Act now brother! Save the children! (seriously) it only gets harder.

Yeah that would work where it not for the fact that my kids are at school full time 5 days a week 9am-3pm and the inappropriate kids are her school friends. I have no control over who see hangs with at school ........ just like every other parent.
Looking for solutions for something similar to this.
maybe a free solution..... Anyone heard or have any expeirence with anything like this?
mobile-spy.com
Go to htcsense.com, log on to the accpunt she useful for HTC apps. From there you can track her phone, forward messages and calls to another phone. Lock the phone, etc..... I love it because I lost it once and I tracked it down and found it, also I was able to forward everything to my galaxy s.

Dummy question.
I just recorded some video on my DNA.
Nice video! No audio!
Does that mean that I had accidentally turned down the volume rocker before recording and therefore no sound was recorded.
Or is the audio really there but I don't know how to access it?
I know.....but hey!
There are no dumb questions, right?
Dan:crying:
There is something I have been curious about relative to this site.
When a simple question is asked by a non expert like myself: the chance that it will be answered is slim at best.
1. The question is so basic and asinine that 99% of the members here dismiss it as to not want to be associated with it.
2. Those who read one of these basic queries really don't know the answer and don't want to offer a suggestion so as not to be thought "foolish" to the forum.
3. I am leaning toward number one.
To update:
The volume on my DNA is not muted and was instead ticked to full on.
The setting in the video recoring software is set to "record at stereo". It was not set to off.
I reshot another video today and for some very simple basic reason when I play the video back there is no audio.
If someone knows (and is not afraid to publicly admit) what I am doing wrong.....I would be very grateful.
It is true that the answer to this will be very embarrassing to me ....but so what.
Anyone care to help a total newbie?
Dan
I have't seen this issue before, so probably others are the same.
Usually if I don't know the answer to an issue, I don't reply. Which I think most do.
Otherwise the thread would be nothing more than a bunch of "I don't know" replies.
I would suggest to try an audio recording app to see if your mic works there. If it does, then it has something to do with your camera/rom.
If it doesn't work, then it could be your rom or a hardware issue.

I very much appreciate your quick response.
However, it did take a rather sarcastic and unfriendly reply from myself before someone (you) stepped up and offered some much needed advice.
I will say (as above) that this site for any new smartphone users who accidentally stumble upon it: this is basically a developer web site and is not meant to be inviting to those of us who are not at a very senior level of smartphone design and software development.
I was trying to sneak in here under the cloak of darkness ( the Devs might even smile on that turn of a phrase).
However that never works.
That is like knowing a little French and then going to a French restaurant and pretending that you really speak French.
In two minutes they will make you look like the fool you are. And you will be out in the street.
There are other web sites for inexperienced users of smartphone technology to search out where their newness will be more welcomed.
xdadevelopers (a wonderful place for the experts)........is not one of them for the uninitiated.

It isn't about people not wanting to help, or that your question was too basic for the "experts" to respond. You asked your question on a weekday night and expected it to be answered before the end of business day the next day.
You only had 85 views of this thread (as told by tapatalk) I bet dollars to donuts that 90% of those views were from people like me. And the remaining 10% is possibly from search engines from their daily bot to log for searches.
I just got off work, but check unread threads while at work when I have a quick minute. I can't go through all that troubleshooting while at work.
Now to the subject of OP:
What ROM are you running? Is it stock? Is it stock rooted or a custom ROM? All these are steps to find out why this happened. It could have been a bad flash, it could be a rogue app hogging the mic driver and camcorder couldn't access it. There is quite a few things it could be and you gave us nothing to work with.

Well. You won't be getting my two cents as I didn't see this thread until now due to being busy at the studio.
Go **** yourself.
The DNA's mic sucks for recording audio. In the past when i've recorded videos the audio is almost not even there it's so quiet. It's a shame that this phone (some, not all) have mad mics.
Faulty hardware. Replace device.
Also, being a **** after not getting your question answered fast enough isn't going to get your question answered usually.
Hey,
There is this LG LII optimus series phone, it was bought at a physical reputable store, haven't been changed whats so ever (not a single new program was added).
I've just noticed that the alarm clock app that came preinstalled has the following permissions:
-Your personall information- read call logs,read your contacts.
-Network communication-full network access.
-Phone calls- read phone status and identity.
-System tools-
-Network communications- view network communications, wifi connections.
-Development toos- test access to protected storage.
-Hardware controls-
-Run at start up.
- Modify system settings.
My initial reaction was "WTF?", but I'm probably missing something...
So, dear XDA pundits, what gives? Is it something legitimate or NSAFBICIAGCHQLEAOTHERLAWAGENCIESCRIMINALSMARKETERSPRIVATEINVESTIGATORSTINFOILHATPROFILIERS1984 much?

I have the L7 II and i have same permissions as you and they seem normal to me. Only one i don't have is developer one but i think it is just fine.
Thank you for the response.
By 'normal' I pressume you mean that they are not spying/have the potential to spy on your phone? How do you know that?
Thx.
P.S A friend of mine told me yesterday about the affair with LG's spying tvs which was exposed a month or two ago...In my opinion 'creepy' wouldn't do justice in describing it.

If someone wants to spy on your phone they will do that by any means. Anyway every device and electronics you have around you can "spy". I would say do not worry about it.
LOL, thats not very reassuring. I was hoping more for an an answer along the lines of "I've checked the internet traffic for the app, and based on its size, frequency and destination it can only be used for so and so..." or "The program size is too small to contain enough commands for both spying and provide its functionality"...
I guess you have a point in the fact that if you are getting bummed you might as well relax and think of England, but... I don't know, I suppose I want to be sure first of what is actually happening, and if indeed it is something bad...Well at the very least maybe I can cry out.
Anyway, thank you!
If some other developer knows why is it like that, I would love to hear.
The Emerge gets the root but this one doesn't? This phone is pretty much the exact same phone as specs show it. So, why is this phone getting the shaft while the other gets more attention? I would love to root the phone but seems every phone I by from Tracfone does not ever get root attention except my LG Optimus Fuel, which is way too old to even bother with.
Come on developers. I would like to put a custom rom on this but it seems like it will never happen. I guess me and people that have the same phone as me are just SOL. Thanks a whole lot! :crying:
Tracfones typically have locked bootloaders which make it very difficult to root. They also tend to lock phones down more than most carriers. Nearly every android phone can turn on developer options by tapping the build number 7 times but you can't even do that on a tracfone I recently got (SM-S320VL). Lower end phones and less popular models just don't get the attention that higher end phones do so it's very unlikely you'll see a root for your phone unless Kingroot or Kingoroot find an exploit in the current Android OS's - which I also see as unlikely being the newer OS's are getting harder to root all the time.
I got developer options turned on and I have done on all phones from Tracfone. What are you talking about?
LG Optimus Fuel (Rooted)
ZTE Citrine
LG Rebel
Samsung Galaxy J3 Luna Pro
All with Developer options enabled.
Also, does not explain why the Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge gets the root. All it is, is a different network and different name. Pretty much same phone and same OS.
Also, why is it people answer but really do not answer about what is asked but just answer to what they only want to answer, which is not what should be answered?
J3 luna pro
I had no problems enabling my developer opitons not one bit of trouble I have the exact same model it Verizon one factory unlocked under tracphone from my knowledge Verizon Samsung was always harder to root so that maybe the case with our phone trust me I want to root mine really bad and been patient I bought this phone as am waiting on another phone release that am pre ordering wanted something inexpensive an decent no lag and fast I choose this if that is Verizon as well you maybe able to use the root unless it Odin I would do more research and remain patient they do alot of phones an deal with alot of different models firmwares it not that easy I want to root mine so I can get cm os because it lot faster no bloatware more smoother scrolling better battery life can't wait to make this phone faster all Round better

No need to take that tone with someone who was nicely addressing your question. If you bite someone's head off just because they didn't (in your opinion) get every thing right in their response to something your not likely to get much help on these forums. People do not profit from helping you, they are doing it to be kind. When you are asking for help try to keep this in mind.

That's fairly hilarious. I've got over 40 smart phones and nearly all of them are rooted, many with custom ROMS and some I got with Google FRP enabled which I managed to bypass despite not finding a single person, forum or youtube that could explain how to bypass it on this particular phone ( not the SM-S320VL I mentioned ) with the build it had on it. If yours works thats great but I am telling you that this particular SM-S320VL phone with the version that is on it does not allow developer options to be turned on. Doing an OEM unlock and turning on developer options is so basic and Kindergarten for almost everyone on here that your comment shows a lack of understanding what XDA is about and the type of members on here. All you have done is make yourself look foolish.

There you go dude. Visible screenshots that show my device options are turned on and it doesn't have frp lock enabled. Maybe you need to try again before you step in the ring.
Maybe just maybe you have a device that had bad code written when that one went thru the manufacturing process but mine is totally fine. mod edit

The model I mentioned is an SM-S320VL (a Galaxy Sky) and you have a SM-S327VL which is a Galaxy Luna Pro. You aren't even talking about the same model. I don't claim to be a developer but I do know the obvious basics on Android phones. Have a better day ....
I hate to say it but you droidzer or whatever you call yourself has obviously put yourself into the wrong thread for your device. Maybe just might find what your looking for in the 320vl qeustion pages. It is people like you clogging up threads for the work g thing that makes **** harder for people to get the info they need.

My point in mentioning a different but similar model is that some carriers have their models more locked down and Tracfone seems to be one of them. Maybe that one had a problem as I do have a couple other Tracfone models that with developer options able to be turned on. But the whole point on my post was to say root is less likely for some of the lower end phones and that most of the Tracfone models I've seen were not rootable.
As I said in another post elsewhere, I have owned tabs that have come prerooted from factory. So why couldn't our phones be sold to us prerooted or at least ready to root? As far as the conversation goes with you... I am done and over it. We all know TracFone and straight talk do not make very smart decisions but they are doing better. They just need to listen to their subscribers and fix the stuff that's wrong on their end.

Hey, bro when I tried to select oem unlock in mine it's asking for a pin. I have straight talk for a carrier. Any clue on how to get the pin
Did you set a pin on your device during setup? That's it.

hopefully, by now you've managed to learn the very elementary process for enabling dev options in most Android. You have to tap 8 times on the build number. It's been that way since at least android 4 if not sooner

I know how to enable Dev ops. I am not a tard like the vast majority of our wasted youth today are. As a matter of fact I repair and reprogram computers and also to repair LCDs and other various goodies on mobile phones in my local area. Been running my business for about 8 years now. So yeah bud, I know what I'm talking about. My phone was root ready until I found out nothing worked, but if I can get an identical j3 Luna pro I'm going to try the magisck root and see if it will work.

The way it works is you tap build number 8 times to enable Dev ops, then go into it and allow oem unlock. It should never ask you for a pin number. You may be under the line sim unlock. Sim unlock is lower in the Dev ops than OEM UNLOCK. Good hunting.
Edit- the setup sim lock/unlock is in the security menu so judging by this you may not have developer options enabled DirtyLikaRat
Does SM-S377TL = SM-S327VL?
Hello, This comment is why I am a member Thank you Droidzer1. I work with Hardware support and sometimes people just don't get it - No two exact same phones are exactly the same - There are too many factors.
Hopefully you can help me out.
Issue
I have a Samsung J3 Luna Pro for TracPhone but the Model is SM-S377TL and I cannot find any combination or Flash files for this device to enable ADB and Debugging during FRP so I can reset the FRP code (Turn it off or disable) with the MiracleBox software.
Does SM-S377TL = SM-S327VL in the sense of FRP software coding and placement? (When I worked for some of the big Wireless providers I noticed that the Same Device and Models would have different Model Numbers (GSM vs CDMA) which makes sense due to software and hardware differences and I am worried this may be the same but I am hoping the files can be used in both devices without issue.
Any Advice from Anyone is greatly appreciated! (This phone was legally purchased but has an old Google Account that cannot be accessed on it)

The TracFone and straight talk a one and the same even though the number says 333 vs 327 when in doubt check the build.prop file to see what it is or use the my device app from Google play to see what hardware you are running. here are a few screenshots for comparison for you.
