Hello,
I've been trying to edit this apk for some time now to be able to spoof time/date.
Its a app that we use for work that basically assigns us tasks where we have to complete a checklist or take temperatures every 2-3 hours.
The questions are always the same so the answers could always be the same as well.
The reason for this is that nobody is perfect and we miss time periods every so often where it marks the task as "missed" and cannot be made up.
Before we were able to go into time and date settings on our device and simply set it back in time and complete the task. Now the app doesn't allow even a log in with time changed.
I'm wondering if there is someway to automate the tasks with Tasker, or something similar or even any suggestions how to edit the apk to allow time changing?

This certainly may be possible with Tasker but more details are needed. Do you receive native android notifications when tasks are assigned? If so, I would look into Tasker coupled with AutoNotification and possibly AutoInput depending on how complex it is to answer the questions.
Using these 3, you would basically create a profile in Tasker for Event > Plugin > AutoNotification Intercept configured to look for notifications from this app. When the profile/event is triggered, the Tasker task fired would use AutoInput to fill out the answers and submit.
Granted, you may run into issues with a locked device using Android 11 or higher as there are restrictions on allowing apps to open by some background process when the lockscreen is engaged. There are some methods to work around this but you may need to get creative.

I've developed a finger friendly application that allows you to access your Google Voice mailbox right from your handset. Right now, it's pretty simple and just lets you see who called and when and play the voicemail but I'm planning on adding more features such as starring, marking items as read, and transcriptions pretty soon (right now it is 'read only' per say).

Under the white boxes is people's names. It cross references the phone numbers with those in your address book to display by name instead of just the phone numbers. Some caveats/requirements... it utilizes the Silvermoon project for the GUI and therefore requires OpenGL support. It will "work" without OpenGL however it will be rather slow. Also, it saves the configuration and voicemails to \Storage Card\GoogleVoice so it requires a storage card to be present.

Let me know what you think and what sort of features you'd like to see as well as any bugs.
Looks nice. Thanks!
Awesome Thanks!!
It's work just a bit slow
This is a great app, hope RustyGrom can improve the performance of it. Thanks!
I am running this on my Touch Pro2.. Works pretty good. Still some issues with the screens, but over all a great app. If I can help beta test I would love to help.
And thank you very much for your hard work.
This is almost exactly what I've been looking for... however, on my TP2, all I get is a black screen with the soft buttons on the bottom.
Have you ever used Skype for Windows Mobile? Their mobile visual vm inbox is EXACTLY what I want to do with GV... But if I could get this app to work, it would be start...
How to use tasker to toggle gps on/off with my rooted SK17i android:2.3.4 build:4.0.2.A.0.62?
Ok tasker shows me some message about google changing something to android 2.3+ that prevents changing gps state w/o user interaction.
Can anyone recommend a stable rom capable of changing gps state without user interaction? Cyanogen is pretty buggy for now.
Aren't there any command lines that can be used to accomplish this using scripts (I knew very little above linux but i knew android is based on linux)?
How hard can it be to modify stock rom to allow gps toggle without user interaction (I'm no developer)?
Thanks for your time guys.
what do you mean by user interaction?
Every time I enable GPS thru a widget or settings I have to accept some aggreement.

Hmm this just came to me, is it possible for tasker click the agree button?
i think there no other way, same as me and others.
I've somehow manage to automate activation of GPS using tasker and secure settings (requires root). But keyguard must be off and no user activity for it to work. This task configures gps using secure settings which directly shows the agreement and press agree button. This is the closest I can get to automating this, hope someone finds this useful or can improve this. Thanks.
I just switched from CM7 to Hybrom on my SK17i and so far it's working great. The only thing I'm missing from CM is the lockscreen gestures, but the battery life is way better. I use Tasker to enable/disable the GPS as you described, and it works great. I recommend you check it out.
Google's Android Device Manager helps find your lost phone

Google has probably, without your knowledge, sideloaded the Android Device Manager onto your Android phone by now. This applies to almost anyone who owns an Android phone -- any handset running at least Android 2.2 and has Google Play installed will get it. The announcement was made on Android official blog here.
To activate it, go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and tick Android Device Manager, allowing it to do anything it wants. You can then, from any Web browser, locate your phone via the Web interface. Other features include being able to ring your phone at maximum volume when you've misplaced it, but know it's near, or erase your phone if you've lost all hope of recovering it.
This sure helps if you've lost your phone, or worse, if it was stolen. You could potentially get close to the phone using the locate feature, sound the alarm and get ready to chase down the thief. If he runs too fast for you, just erase the device completely to keep your data safe.
With Android Device Manager, Google gave basic functionality -- a lot like Apple's Find My iPhone available for iOS devices. If you need more, you can always check out Android Lost, the incumbent king of remote phone location and destruction, allowing various levels of device access and control.

I just published v1.0 of a text adventure interpreter (sideload url - for those who don't have access to google play). Here is a screenshot of the main user interface:

}
My problem now is that I got a few control features in it, that you might stumble upon by accident, but from which it is not immediatly obvious that they exist at all. These controls are not vital, but make life a lot more compfortable. To list them:
You can swipe the message area left/right to get to the status screen (same as pressing the "flip view" button)
touching a word in a chatbubble will automatically copy it to the input prompt. Double tapping empty space will clear the input prompt
The icons in the lower bar are "speeddials" and fully customizeable. You open the editor by long pressing the icon.
In itself, those controls are pretty sane as they allow you to do things fast. They are what a power user would want to be there, but how do I explain their existence/usage to the casual user? My first idea naturally was to put that in the FAQ, but who reads docs these days? The next idea I had was to simply pop up a messagedialog when the user first comes into the vicinity of a control (e.g. touching a speeddial pops up an alert dialog telling the user how to edit it). Personally, I hate "nanny dialogs" and could see that as a reason to uninstall. Next idea was to display a toast but showing a timed message somehow seems like the wrong approach. Final idea was to push instructions to the notification bar. Not as disruptive as a dialog, but a lot of people seem to care religiously about the notification tray to be empty.
So ... any good ideas on the matter?
I am not sure which sub-forum to post this question in Android Dev and Hacking, so I posted it here. If there is a better place to post this, please let me know.
So, I got this idea to develop an accessibility feature for Android. Sometimes people may forget what an app does on their phone. They may want to have a helpful hint displayed and/or spoken out to them when they tap an icon in their phone's launcher. For example, as in the image below, if you tap on Google Maps app, a helpful suggestion would appear as a toast saying that "Google Maps provides world maps and turn-by-turn navigation". Additionally, the user may configure to hear the hint as well. The details about how to activate the hint can be figured out but the basic idea is that the user would interact with an app icon on their homescreen or the app drawer in the launcher (either by long-pressing, tapping or some other way) and hear or see a hint about the app's action, which may be retrieved from the Google Play Store.

Now, I am fairly new to Android development and since this is quite a different thing than a standard app, I was not sure how to go about developing it.
So, specifically, what I want to know is:
How to identify when a user clicks on the icon of an app on the homescreen or app launcher?
How to make use of this event to then pull appropriate information and present it to the user?
Do I need to develop a custom launcher app to be able to identify user presses etc.? Or can I somehow retrieve this information from whatever launcher a user uses and give the hint?
