[Info] Google API - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Posting this in the forums I haunt. I discovered this threw another issue im dealing with. Really this effects multiple industries as I found out.
This is more for any developer but trying to get the message out.
Google is killing several API services. First one was the Weather API. That one killed any app or query built in a rom sniffing google for weather updates. Anyone that has noticed there weather app suddelny stop working is suffering from this issue. Most Devs have allready updated there API address but if you havent please edit in your next revision. Keep in mind this is only one of many APIs that will be cut off soon. So pull your resorces elsewhere if you can. Sadly that stuff is privately owned and not public so its there right to do so. For whatever reason they are doing this very quietly and without warning. Not sure why but its a problem that will get out of hand quickly if noone knows about it.
Thanks.

[Q] How to Disable E911

I want to disable the E911 on my phone. People if you dont agree keep it to yourself. I want to disable it. It should not matter why I want to especially not on site designed for people customizing the hell out of their phone. If you think I am paranoid I think your a sheep.
Can anyone actually provide some beneficial help towards my goal.
Maybe being a little more nice will get you your answer. You get more flies with sugar than vinegar.

Do you want to just disable E911 or disable all phone functionality? I haven't seen any way to just disable E911 on any mobile device. By default, every manufacturer puts stuff in that lets 911 locate your phone, and there is no way to disable it in software or hardware without basically stripping the software of its phone functions.
If you are still interested, and want software that strips this phone of all phone services and apps (including E911) try the GeeWiz Media ROM
As a Communications supervisor in a 911 center, I can tell you firsthand that disabling e911 won't prevent us from locating you. I've disabled e911 on several android phones that I've owned over the years and it still reports your Phase II Lat/Long

lol sippi, idk about the OP's reason for this, but ive personally seen people i know last week disable e911 on their phones (through ways like the Geewiz media rom+software mods) to do a drug dealing of all things, little did they know what u said was true and they were tracked not only by 911, but also by the stupidity of leaving my app (SMS Tasks) on their phones, leaving the person who ratted them out (not me but they did know their pass phrase), gave their phone to the local authorites and gave them the command [email protected]****** and with the version my app had on it (unofficial build), it located them with google-maps link that was clicked and gave a perfect track (because the people had gps on of all things), thus leading to the arrest (i personnaly felt good about it cause if i didnt make that app (SMS Tasks) they would be on the loose for a little bit longer causing who knows what cause the police officer said that they were having trouble tracking them with the e911 system for a "unknown error reported" as they told him so idk if it was a glitch with the tracking in my area's e911 or they acually disabled whatever it is that makes them track you (please dont reply with what it was just to be safe), but my app acually lead to an arrest =) so by what i saw i think there might be some workaround, or just a glitch, im not encouraging it one bit, but i know personally that there was at least one person capible of doing it (again unless it was a glitch in their system) =S
I'd also be curious to learn to disable this. I, unlike the previous poster, wouldn't pride myself on incarcerating someone for a business transaction and otherwise victimless crime.
If anything, the post above highlights exactly why you should not install apps which ask for unnecessary permissions, because some nanny state developer just might invade your privacy and track your movements instead of focus on the purpose of the app.

its acually a function of the app, not invasion of privacy, my app is open-sourced on my gitbub as-is for the app's released versions, thats locate command is one of the listed features on the thread, i update the github more then the thread but all the commands are safe, it was just some clever ideas for them to use my app to solve a criminal case thats all, as for the "business transaction and otherwise victimless crime" heroin and drug dealing is highly illegal in this area where it took place at, and the now ex-girlfriend of the guy was a victim from it because before he got out to buy it he beat her black and blue... >=( theres nothing funny about drug dealing making it a "victimless crime" as its a nuicence in our society no matter how many "benefits" people say it has, as for my app its clearly states in the thread for you to keep your pass phrase a secret, as he didnt, and all the commands+usage are all on there and clear warnings for the potentially dangerous commands, but the version he had on his phone was a newer beta test version that uses google-maps links instead of general GEOLocation area. all that was done was completely legal, and not abuse of my app or permissions as it still gives people to where it tells who sent the message in the tracking menu (by phone number) since its a new feature in my beta tester version so it did give full telling who it came from. but ive already been given warnings by the police from an earlier situation with the same people on the same kind of activity about regulations on tracking without consent, so i had to add that prompt to show who initiated the tracking, and am working on a button that will stop it remotely. so until i can comply with the regulations, while keeping it stable, i havent been able to update the app with them untill i get the new tracking system with prompts stable, but to do all that with the new systems i have in the app it needs to be installed in CWM recovery cause the system-app Reboot permissions, and better GPS/wifi Toggling
sorry if it seems like im ranting, im truly not, but that situation was really personally to me and i felt like what i did was the right thing, not a "abuse of permissions app", or to "incarcerating someone for a business transaction and otherwise victimless crime.", as it was more for the fact that he beat her and then he want to do an illegal activity
Wow, Im sorry for the long delay. I had switched phones and forgot all about this thread. I appreciate ALL who provided input. I still dont like the idea of it, but it doesnt bother me as much.
Not sure how far back...
Preexisting rom file from pre-e911 might work

[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.

GlobalHop SDK

Has anyone tried monetizing app with GlobalHop? Just recently found it and would like to hear opinions from those who already tried it.
Hi, I implemented it in my app and It's not worth it. Earnings calculator on their site is fake. I had most of my users from Tier 1 (USA) and I didn't even earned half of calculator's result. After about month or two of using this SDK my app has been suspended and removed from Google Play due to malicious behaviour. I wrote to GP support, but of course there is no way to achieve anything. I'm not 100% sure that suspension happened because of GlobalHop SDK, because GP support "couldn't provide more information" (yeah... sure), but I don't have anything else in my app that could break that rule. So if you already implemented GlobalHop SDK I recommend you to remove it and update your app ASAP.

Canary sniffer Stanza capture

I've been playing with this app recently, using another app that's modified a lot which has become overrun with exploits recently, and I've been looking into ways of patching various stanzas but new one keeps coming out, you can send stanzas or exploit files through the app now, and they constantly have new ones come out where I can't keep finding them and I've heard about someone using a sniffer to log the stanzas, I downloaded it today, and have been playing with it but the problem for me is most of my mods of the app have normal security all say for two so SSL is blocked for them not an issue I can use the ****tier apps but when I send a stanza to myself it isn't captured so I'm assuming I'm messing up somewhere or require a plugin any help on this would be great I just need to get it to capture the stanza being sent so I can work on a fix to it without having it right Infront of me (they're simple XMPP stanzas)
H/T/T/P/ Canary is the app sorry it's registering it as a link

I need help to publish PutMask and PutEmoji on Google Play

Hello, I am the developer of PutMask and PutEmoji apps. Unfortunately, due to a problem I had, I could not publish the apps with my own identity, so I used the identities of my friends. The problem still persists, but the added problem is that my connection with my contact, whose identity the app was released with, is also being disconnected. This problem has caused even me not to put time for development app because I am not sure what is going to happen to it. I talked to many people and tried every way I could think of, but I got nowhere. That's why I said to raise it here, maybe I could get help. The PutMask app is designed to blur the faces in the video and the PutEmoji app does almost the same thing, but you can put your desired images on the faces. If there are special conditions for your help, I will be happy to discuss them with me. I would also like to point out that because the core of these apps uses cross-platform libraries, designing these apps for other operating systems such as Windows and iOS will not be difficult. As one of the next steps, I considered that maybe you can help me in this matter as well.
XDA for PutMask.
