[Q] possibly malicious proxy in rom? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
This may be a stupid question, but I installed a MIUI theme named WP7 Dark and it auto-enabled a proxy by default, which I didn't realize until using the gmail app and watching h t t p : / / mobejoh popup before my emails loaded. All of my emails were loaded in English, but other parts of the app switched to Chinese.
Do you think this proxy was solely meant to provide a Chinese translation for content, or could it be something more sinister? Do you think I may have had personal emails stolen, or do you think Gmail's https connection kept them safe (and was the reason why they didn't get translated with everything else)?
I also opened the text messaging app but didn't select a message - could anything else have been affected or taken?
Thanks.

[Q] Questions about WiFi accounts and g-sync

I'm new to Android and have two questions about this thing:
1. My home network uses static ips, pretty much everything else in the world uses dynamic. Constantly switching my settings is beyond aggravating (what idiot thought it would be a good idea to set ip info on a MOBILE and WIRELESS device on a per-adapter basis instead of per connection?). Is there any way I can make this damn thing auto-switch? Just about every other WiFi device I own can.
2. I have more than one g-mail account, and when putting something in my calender, etc it seems to just add it to whatever account it wants. Is there any way to choose which account to add it to, or just make it sync certain items with one account?
Thanks

Google Voice SMS to Native SMS app

I was just about to make a thread about this. I'm willing to make a app that does this, but I don't know the file structure of where google does things.
If you download the Google Voice App, you can see that some where they store all the SMS data about a txt, they just don't expose that to the user through the web interface.
My idea is to take the Google Voice SMS DB, convert it to the XML format supported by SMS Backup & restore and then merge the 2.
Does anyone know where the db of SMS is stored in the Google Voice app?
If this app existed or I could make it, I would be able to send through the web-interface and my ipad, etc. Now I don't cause when people reply and I'm at my phone, I have no clue what they are talking about.

[APP IDEA] Social Call Blocker. Has it been done?

I have been using Android for a while now, and I have used few call blocker apps to block annoying telemarketing calls.
But in every call blocker app we either need to white or black list of number.
How about an app, where when a user black lists a number, the number gets synced to a cloud storage. The numbers that are stored in the server would then be synced in other users devices (not in their contact list).
The app will block any call that is from within this list. Because a users have marked the number as spam, other users won't have to get annoyed even once.
It seems to me like a good idea, but there could be many problems with this as well. For example, what if a user marks a non telemarketing number as spam.
What I am wondering is whether any such (or even better) app/service is already available for Android phones? and is it worth spending time to develop?
I am a XDA noob, so if I have posted in a wrong section, or if I am not supposed to be posting this in XDA at all, then please pardon me, and please o please don't flame me

App request: Combined SMS/IM/GTALK messaging app/inbox

I want a messaging app that combines all conversations with a contact into one thread the way Windows Phone does.
I do not want to have to remember what application the conversation came form, I should be able to access one messaging app and see the complete contact history.
Google now has Huddles (G+), Gtalk, Voice, and SMS that all have an application and thread. We need one app to bring all of these conversations together the way that Windows Phone has done.
Does anything like this exist?
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

[Q] Restoring a Range of text messages

Does anyone know if there's a way to select a range (such as a date, like january first to february 8) of text messages to restore? It gets annoying sitting through the restoration of thousands of text messages, when really i only need the more recent ones.
I suppose a manual workaround this would be to have the application delete messages after x days...
Ideas?
