Hi guys,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Instagram trialled a "close friends" or "favourites" feature which allowed users to share posts with only particular users in their so called 'close friends list'. This trial was around the 23/06/2017.
My old Instagram account used this feature and it was great! However, it turns out they have cut the feature, unless you have already used it...
So my new account does NOT have this functionality and I would like to regain it!
Apparently the with and without the feature, the apks are identical, and it is simply a server-side switch to enable the feature and particular accounts. I was wondering if it would be possible to manually turn on the feature to spoof the server into thinking you had the feature and therefore enabling it on your account.
Please correct me if any of this information is incorrect or unfeasible.
Thanks in advance,
James
I currently have this feature and it appeared in my main account randomly, because it's a beta feature for only some IG accounts. I can't tell you if you could "force" the app to have it, but I assume it's impossible. The only way is to wait I think.

Hi all!
So I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.0 and its my first tab. I have a HTC Desire cellphone, so android isn't completely unknown for me.
Even though I do have a few questions, maybe you guys can help me with.
1)
I have seen many screenshots where people have different background for each screen. One homepage, one called music to the left and maybe one called games to the right (just examples). And it look really awsome, how do I get it to mine?
2) It says it can have different email clients synchronized, but I cant get my yahoo mail to cooperate with it - I have no idea why. When I try to add another mail than Gmail (which I dont use) then it wont accept it. I did wrote to Samsung but they have no explanation or what so ever.
I'm a new user and cant post any outside links. I found the guide at a site called androidspot - how to setting yahoo mail on samsung galaxy tab.
3) generel tips! I really love my tab and think it is a great machine and can, in some place, be a substitute for a laptop. And that is what it is. I do have the feeling I dont really use all its function or just half of them.
Hope you guys can help me
And btw, I'm from Europe therefore there maybe be som function I cant use, like Move Hub (Damn! This one would be awsome to have!).

Hi
I can only answer your first Q:
Get this App --> https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
Maybe you should try to get an OTA update from Samsung to solve your mail problem.
Otherwise flash a newer ROM.
BTW: Good choice for the tablet ;-)

To get that app, should I get into the app store or should I go through your link, with my tab? I actually had no idea we were able to download direct from the internet, thought we had to go through the app store?
What is an OTA update? I recently updated the tab, so I suppose I have what we call touchwiz at the moment? I have heard the word "honeycomb", is that another OS or same thing as touchwiz?
According to this site you need to upgrade to a Yahoo! Mail Plus account.
Or try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11684055&postcount=7
You can use the stock email app using these settings. I will post a video on my blog showing step by step soon.

opening this link on your tab will result in a question if you would like to open this like with the browser or the market, choose market.
OTA means Over The Air. but therefore you need to have setup an account at samsung. can be done under settings - about phone (or something - last option).

I made it work, now I just need some great background. Thanks you
About a OTA, how do I get one? And mere important, what is it?
And yeah, hopefully it wont dissapoint me ;-) So far I'm happy for it. I have bought some games and for some reason it seems to have some problem playting them. Sometimes it suddently exit the game to the homescreen, and I have no idea why.
Hey,
I want to use whatsapp on my Galaxy player, but i'm unable to do so. I've downloaded it from the whatsapp site and from 4shared, but when I install the app and try to accept the terms and conditions, the following occurs:
"Unable to identify your device, turn out the batteries and reboot."
"Tablets are currently not supported"
But I don't get it, because my friend has a tablet and he is able to use whatsapp, even though he doesn't have a phone number or a prepaid card in it.
So my question is: Has anyone been able to use Whatsapp on their Galaxy player? And if so, could you please be kind to explain how to do that?
Thanks in advance.
I think you have to have a phone#, unless it will work with a Google Voice#. I can't see paying $2/yr for something you can just use GV for (although it does look like it does a lot more). From their site:
Why do you ask for my phone number?
We ask for your phone number because that is how WhatsApp routes chat messages between you and your contacts, similar to how the regular SMS system would. We value your privacy and we have not, do not and will not ever sell your personal information to anyone. If you would like to learn more about our Privacy Policy, please take a look at our Privacy Notice.

I have been investigating this matter and this app has the same problem as the XDA App(free version) and Tap Tap Revenge 4. I have created a hack that makes these apps work and I have released a beta of my next rom "Foreigner R5" that has the patch applied. However, this app will not function on the beta for other reasons. When foreigner R5 moves passed beta, this app will work.

So? What do you think i should do?
first, i wanna say THANK YOU to Meticulus for a fabulous rom. I am using it to my complete satisfaction. Thanks again.
second, i can prove that Viber works on beta R5 so i think half your whatsapp issue is solved, Rapydax. Until R5 comes out, u can use beta R5 with viber - message your buddies and all that + free calls worldwide.
third, google voice isnt available outside US yet.
and omg, fourth, keep an eye on R5 and trust Meticulus.
I will try the R5 as soon as it is finished.
Google is going to start charging to use their calling service next year. :'( So 2 bucks a year for whatsapp!!! I am going to get that. Also Groove IP is nice and Google Voice just got an update, and now you can call people from the Google Voice app. as well. ^^^Meticulus's Foreigner ROM^^^ is also BEAST!!! So if you are thinking about it, don't worry about it not working. Hope all goes well.

What do you mean by "Google is going to charge for Whatsapp"?
Also, Google Voice is for US only and I live in Europe. Hope they make it able for Europeans to make use of it.

I was not very clear. Google is going to start charging next year for their calling service, as of now it is free. Whatsapp is only 2 dollars a year, so I am now going to get Whatsapp. I am sure Google will expand to Europe. Just give it time.
not giving "them" time is all this forum is about.
Does Whatsapp let you make/receive calls? I thought it was only texting.
GV has been saying it's going to start charging "next year" for a few years now... if they do I'm sure it will be very cheap, and hopefully they won't start until all the bugs are worked out, and other countries can participate.

Thanks a lot to Meticulus for his R5 ROM. (See development section)

Hello,
I've recently came up with an idea to spy on whatsapp easily. This is purely for fun purpose. I don't have idea whether it will work. Many people want to spy their friends/gf/crush whatsapp, but they're unable.
My question is:
Is it possible to develop such a script on a rooted android phone that will run in the background and send the Whatsapp messages backup file (*.CRYPT) over email? Android on Whatsapp takes the messages backup daily, so if this .CRYPT is sent anonymously the spyer will be able to see the last day's messages.
Let me clear that this is just for FUN! No personal interest.
Thanks.
To be honest, its spying, tapping an account without notice. Its illegal even for fun purpose. If it could be done you already know that it will also be done with the wrong reason.
I can't find the fun factor in tapping others accounts....

Hi
is there an Intent or something like this when I´m connected to a hotspot which wants a confirm or an login (like in hotels)?
Thanks

I'm not sure what exactly you mean.
If you're asking if there's an intent by android for giving you this prompt, it's because you have to log in for android to connect to the network and start receiving push notifications.
If you're asking if there's a reason for the hotspot owner to force you to "log in" in order to give you internet access, it's usually so you'll agree to their terms of service, which probably include them using the information based on what sites you visit for data mining, or making sure you agree not to cause harm to the network (downloading too much, uploading malicious software to the network, naughty sites, etc).

That´s what I mean... I know why I have to agree and so...
My question was, if there is something like an intent when this "log in question" is displayed in the notifivcation bar?

Gotcha, yeah Android just does that to let you know that there's a log in screen which is stopping any of your push notifications from coming through. Google wants you to log in to their wifi so they can start pushing you the emails, updates, etc, that you need.

Hmm.. I think we're still talking past each other
If there is a free Hotspot where the user have to agree to the term etc or have to login with an user name ... then there is notification...
How can i react to that notification?

When you click it, android opens a browser that sends you to the login page (Android assumes that the hotspot will redirect any page request to the login page). By doing this, it's letting you get to the login page more easily than forcing you to open the browser and a new tab just to go to that page(in case you're in another app that pings for data) .
Yes I know... I just want that my App is notified when this notification comes... is this possible?

I attached the notification I mean. So is there any possibility to get information (maybe via WifiManager) if the Wifi I´m connected to wants this login, before I have an internet connection?
Hi
I'm a few days away from my OGWhatsapp app expiring and am desperate to find an alternative as I travel constantly between countries and having two active whatsapp accounts on my phone is an invaluable part of my life.
I've stumbled across some alternatives from this site:
http://faresandroid.blogspot.com.es/2015/01/4.html
Namely, i'm looking at ENWhatsapp and SAWhatsapp. I'm wondering whether these apks are ok as I fear installing any sort of malware or SMS trojan on my Samsung S4 Mini Duos i9192.
Many thanks
I use this one and think it is perfect, no isues in months. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339647
Thanks. Does it notify you of received messages from both accounts instantly or do you need to switch between accounts to pick up the messages?
Use this xxwhatsapp
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bwqhldcwrdx350w/xxWhatsApp1.15-1.apk?dl=0
It's base on Ogwhatsapp mode last version. But it's still working. It's modified in order to not to be detected by the expiration of the 472 whatsapp server base.
Thanks MuD-GMZ. That seems to work well. Only thing is that I have to switch between the two accounts manually to see if i've received messages. A little bit annoying.
ppsa, is xxWhatsapp safe? I get the same pre-installation access warnings as SAWhatsapp and ENWhatsapp. What particularly worries me is the access the app has to sending and receiving SMS's (see attached screenshot). Not sure this if this normal though considering that I guess the app needs a whatsapp verification code via sms to activate it.
What do you think?
Many thanks!

Exactly. That's why I want to know if any of the other unofficial whatsapps are safe so that i can have two whatsapps active at the same time
In the end I tried ENWhatsapp + other variants and none of them seem to work. I get an error during the installation process that oddly states that '"the app expired on May 18th 2060"!!
I am, though, using a Playstore app called Disa Beta:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disa&hl=en
It has a strange UI but it allows me to do exactly what I was looking for: have 2 whatsapp accounts simultaneously active on my dual sim phone.
I've used it, but it's not as friendly to use
It works again? Thanks.
