[Q] One-Click VPN enable widget

Does anyone know a widget that can one-click enable a configured VPN? All widgets I can find only enable VPN's configured in the program itself instead of the VPN's configured on the system, usually those applications also don't support OpenVPN.
The closest I can find (on CM7.1 and the market) is adding a settings-widget that opens the VPN settings. This allready reduces the amount of clicks to two.
Is it technically even possible to make a widget for this?
this app
maybe help you quickvpn (market search)
QuickVPN does not have a one-click widget for my homescreen and doesn't use the internal VPN settings.
Have you tried "1 VPN"?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.doenter.onevpn
1-VPN is the same story... It uses it's own sources for VPN rather then the android VPN settings.
It isn't possible using the Android SDK, but some manufacturers expose it using their own SDKs (according to this).
It's something I'd like to support with Awesome Widgets, but it might be hard to support all phones satisfactorily. I guess a fallback would be to show the settings if it wasn't possible with a particular phone
All the best,
Ash
Wouldn't it be less of an issue when using a custom rom? (I use CM7.1 on my Desire Z)
Yeah, if you have root access it's probably not too difficult (with a bit of java reflection), but I don't think the majority of users will know anything about custom roms or root access.
They'll feel conned when it doesn't work on their standard device, something I'd like to avoid
I think quick vpn client can help you in this. or else you can check android market for some sort of widgets. I haven't tried it but i am looking to get best paid vpn service and free vpn service for htc chacha...?

[Q] Best way to do online banking?

What is the best (safest) way to do it security wise?
Through the browser? Through the banking app they have? or remote desktop?
I use browser n apps like pageonce or the corresponding app to bank. browser is secure. just make sure you see the padlock icon on browser URL.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Neither of these are the safest way to do online banking.
My bank requires additional secutity measures other than just providing login id and password, i.e. a second one time password that will be sent to your mobile phone for you to input each time you do a banking transaction.
agree with what the rest said:
use the app specifically released by the bank (the best I think)
most banks here in the UK are using two-factor authentication - so I am using the stock browser at the moment - but... this still leaves a door open for the man-in-the-middle attack, so just an extra precaution, i set my DNS to OpenDns.
additionally, I normally clear all before and after banking session all the cookies/form data/cache - i am not sure why i am doing this, but it does make me feel better
If the bank is worth a damn both the app they provide and their sites should be secure. Just do not use on an open wifi network as your communication can be intercepted before it's encrypted with ssl through say the webpage. In fact I personally would not log into anything with an open wifi network.
Mint works pretty well.

Are there any ROMs with ability to block app installs for administrative purposes?

Hello there,
Short story - Looking for a Custom ROM with the ability to control what applications can be installed on an Android device or preferably to ask for an administrator password prior to installing, much like in Administered desktop systems. This is to be used on a large number of company-owned tablets
Thank you for any help or suggestions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long Story - The company i work for (a large travel & tour agency) is investigating the possibility of providing Tour Bus drivers with Android tablets, which will be used for filling out and submiting (via mobile data) a number of different types of forms
Since the tablets will be connected to the internet via 3G/4G, any downloaded apps will cause data charges by the ISP. This is a major issue as the Tour Bus fleet consists of over 300 vehicles and drivers
For this reason, we were trying to find an app which would control what a user installs on an android device, but from what we have researched, this level of control is not available for Apps, for security reasons (such as malware)
Custom firmware seems to be the only option, if such a firmware exists.
Thank you for any help or suggestions
No dont exist but you can configure the pasaword in google play settings
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
Use password to block or secure those app that can download things
Eg: mail, market, browser, file explorer, USB storage.. etc...
PM me if you need more detail... already have an idea.

[Q] Enterprise Mobile Management

Hello Forum,
My company is planning to role out Android phones for our employees and we are looking for a mobile management solution that would allow us to lock down & control how the phone is being used.
Items off the top of my head would be to
1) have secure remote access through the mobile device to company files
2) control how application are installed & removed
3) manage the phone such as removing content if phone is stolen and/or if employee is terminated
I've tried searching around and have found 3LM as one possibility. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

[APP] please recommend substitution of app: network log

Hey guys, I've been seeking an alternate of Network Log (you can find it on Google Play Store) for quite a while but with no luck, so come out to ask if anyone knows one suitable for me .
I have to say Network Log is almost worthy for purchasing (although it is not a paid app), considering the job it's done in categorizing by protocols, by apps, displaying packets by size and time, graphing as a timeline, and that made it an excellent choice for analyzing apps consuming data and draining battery, but unfortunately the app owner doesn't respond to bug summit or emails.
The thing is, Network Log no longer works after Android 6.0, while others in the market relies on system-built-in VPN function to capture data, which is not suitbale for people like me in China using proxies to reach out to world .
So if anyone knows apps that can capture packets (not necessarily able to decrypt contents) and display by apps, just to make it easy to let me see the amounts and frequency Android apps uses the Internet, I‘ll be thankful that you recommend them to me (again it cannot be using Android VPN function since Shadowsocks is already using VPN, so I think the app maybe require root permission but I'm OK)
check...
will somebody know that???
