Kind of humorous that I have to add this to the post but guys! When asking for an invite, please give your GMAIL account! Google+ is still in beta and is predominately a way for those of us who love and use Google products day to day to use one less website to stay connected (here's looking you facebook) but this is all tied into your GMAIL like every other Google product.
I hope everyone had an awesome Fourth of July!!! I had a cook out yesterday and work all day today (Stupid stupid job opening on Independence Day... XD) so thats why I wasn't at the computer.
To everyone who has PM'd me, I'm reading through them now! And sending invites all night long! I will also go through the posts (470 posts???! WOW!) and try and invite all I can! Again, a HUGE shout out to everyone who taken up the Pay it Forward system! You members are what make XDA the true Dev Community!!!
I figure this is a semi decent idea seeing as information on the root status of our phones seems to be buried under mountains of other releases on the web. So why not take matters into our own hands and keep each other posted?
I'm Creating a 3VO Circle!
If you need an invite, than this is what will happen. Post here or PM me or one of the others helping out (their names are listed down below) and we will try to invite you!
We will post or PM back when the invite is “sent” and then its a waiting game! Try and follow these steps to seeing if your invite has registered itself with Google yet!
1) This is the easiest by far, If you get an email, then you’re in! Either download the app and log in, or go online to plus.google.com and login with your Google credentials.
2) If hours are going by and you still have no update, then its time to try and “force it”. XDA member’s taminrob and SAShady have both seen ways in which to do this.
To try and “force” your Google+ account:
A) From your Android phone go to menu>acounts and sync> make everything sync. The phone should prompt you to accept the setting up and syncing of your profile. If it does that, you are in!
B) From your computer go to your gmail account, click on your name up in the black bar. Hit either Profile or account settings. There should be prompts from there.
3) If you get the invite but it says exceeded limitation, keep trying! Try again every 30 minutes or so because it seems that people are still able to get in even when others cant! If its been more than 24 hours since the invite, then PM or post back up and we will hop on it again and resend invites!
For when you DO get in, please add me as soon as possible! And comment on something of mine so that I can add you to the 3VO circle! Adding people is quite simple actually.
To add people from the website:
A) Hover your mouse over the name of the person you want to add
B) In the pop up menu that appears, click the add to circle button
C) In the drop down menu it will show the preset circles, any you have made
and the option to create a new circle. (3VO Circle FTW!!)
To add people from the android app:
A) Press the profile picture of the commenter or the person you want to add.
B) It will take you to their profile. You will see below their name the “circles”
button.
C) Press that and it will show you the circles option so that you can decide where
to add them and the option to create a new circle. Hit done in the top right hand
corner.
There is no rule or anything to this, but it would be much appreciated if anyone who can will help invite people once they get theirs! Pay it forward basically. For those of you who don’t know how to invite, Painkiller006 found these great instructions over at droid-life.com (http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/30...nds-to-google/).
1. Login to your Google+ account and head to your Circles page.
2. Create a new Circle and name it whatever you want.
3. Afterwards, start adding people by clicking the “Add a new person” button
4. Once you’ve added all of your friends (Gmail only), head back out to your Stream.
5. Post a new item to your Stream and add the Circle you just created
6. Once added, make sure the box is checked underneath it which will email everyone in that Circle
7. Click “Share” and you’ll see the following message. Just press “Okay, got it.”
8. Then click “Share” again and your friends will receive an email to join.
9. Have fun with Google+!
However what I have been doing when inviting is a bit simpler, if more tedious.
1. Login in to Google+
2. Create a generic invite status.
3. Underneath where it says share with people, type the email address (gmail only I believe) or addresses of the people you want to invite.
4. Hit share!
5. PRAY! =P
The invites are there! They are just invisible!
just kidding just kidding.. not really...
To everyone helping out! I want to make this more organized! Everytime you add someone who is asking for an invite, post up here like you have been doing in slightly larger than normal BLUE font! That way its easy for us to spot and we don’t all invite the same person! If you think you are running out of invites (can that even happen?? I never heard anything about limited invites..) or that the invite might not go through post up in slightly larger than normal red font that we need to double up and someone else will try to invite as well!
This is mega important! I have been trying to figure out the best way for us all to stay in the same circle, and actually one of the Circle figured it out! I have an active huddle going with the entire circle. No one acutally talks in it, but up at the top of the huddle is everyone thats in it. You literally have the ability to add everyone from my 3VO circle into yours, so that we all stay connected. Just ask me when your in to invite you to the huddle and I'll get you there!
HUGE shout out to TAMINROB, S4PAT, PAINKILLER006, THEPHUNK, BEYOND882001, and to BLUEDIABLITO! You guys are seriously helping out and I appreciate it!!!

I am looking for a way to hide a single or a few contacts from my phonebook I am currently on a Sense based rom. Is there an app to do this? I have searched and haven't been able to find any? Would it be possible for one of the amazing devs on here to edit the stock phonebook to make this feature? It would be really cool to have the ability to hide contacts and password protect it. Thank you to all the devs that keep making our phones even better!
And the name of the app would be, "help me not get caught cheating!" no, that's too long. But you get the point.
That isn't going to hide any of your sexting history either. Lol

I believe there are a number of apps in the market that do this.

this has bulilt in contacts list and hides txt. i use this one when contacting an escort

this is just a hidden contact list never tried this one
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.project.memoryerrorcontact&feature=search_result
There are several apps in the market to help you cheat. I remember seeing at least 5 of them. Also, there are several apps that allow you to password-protect access to other apps as well. If you really can't find them, I'll find some for you, I just don't feel like it right now. lol

The Shady Apps looking interesting I may give them a try thanks for the help. I want to hide the contacts not to help me cheat its a work phone and its not supposed to be used for personal use but I have a few personal contacts stored there and I dont want coworkers to be able to see the contacts when we share the phone. I can see where you may think its for cheating purposes!

hi there!
i hope this is the right forum. i have installed cm9 on my samsung i9001 (galaxy s plus) so far so good, beta 2 is running smoothly.
sadly there is no standard email application included in that install, or correct me if i am wrong, at least i couldnt find any.
and whats even more sad is i cant download the gmail app from the market because of my location and something i believe is a name infringement or whatever...
so i am in need of a descent email app. i am currently running a gmail.apk for the v2.3.5. which is kinda buggy...
i think the best for me would be the email app that comes with the sgs+ on stock rom or an up to date gmail.apk would be nice too.
since email is kinda delicate i dont want to use any 3rd party app from the market or is there anything trustworthy?
please help me!
thanks in advance!
Try K9 mail. If an email app is not trustworthy there would be bad reviews.

People often ask about some app which is capable of hiding apps and photos and videos.
Here is an ultimate solution.
This app is installed as an AUDIO MANAGER and front end interface is capable of managing all kinds of audio in ur device.
But when you long press the title it will launch actual Hide It Pro where you can hide your apps and photos etc.
When you long press the icon it will ask you to enter password/pin to launch Hide It Pro.
I use it to hide my games so that my friends don't eat up my battery!!!
Link for the app in Play Store-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartanuj.hideitpro
Screenshots of the app are added..
i use this since last year...hide porn is great...
I use this app too....
However i have already learnt how to crack password of it too...

is anyone else having a problem with the sms addin not sending or receiving texts, or delaying and recieving a bunch of texts all at once that were sent at different times?
good....bt far from perfect....can easily crack it....even freezing the app from titanium backup feels more secure...
Another way to crack
1-uninstall the app and install again and use a new pass word all files.available.before will now be seen LOL!!!

Hi mates,
Today,I got my code for ThemerApp.
Wanna try it...
I choose a theme, I press Apply and then....
!!
It requests an access to my Facebook account with full access to my personal information and friends list!!!
Why? Can someone tell me why a "THEMER" App requires my friends list?
I uninstall right now!
Pathetic
dont know why they do this. you can also use your google account but this as bad as using the fb-account.
although i really like this app this is really a nuisance !
The only reason I made this workaround so people can use themes without logging in to any accounts. Although it seems to be a trusted app, but it doesn't take long for any database to be hacked. Hope more themers use this.

because it's not just a simple theme app, it's a launcher with widgets of every kind (social networks included), rss feeds, etc.. and to display notifications correctly it needs full access.

I can understand a launcher with social network integration requesting access to social networks but I can't understand why it's mandatory.
I do NOT use social networks but I want to try this launcher out. It doesn't let you proceed without adding an account.

Also uninstalled right after installing... Why does it want access to my facebook or google account to work properly? like seeing all your friends and stuff ? Ehhhm sorry but noo thanks!
Also why does a themer app need to collect "anonymous" location data of my phone?
This app was a big promise but they ****ed it up.
Its for the weather widgets, and unlike you privacy is the least of my concerns

So do you use your Google account to set up your phone? To use the Play Store? What's the difference?

That is very unfortunate to hear. There is no reason this app should require that information.
I'm starting to question if I want to use it now.

Besides, if you really wanna use the app and are THAT worried about your personal info, making a dummy account won't be a big deal. It's not a "bit much" at all. You're talking as if it's an ordeal to do, or a huge inconvenience.
And speaking of dummies, the people freaking out about Themer are the same people that feel perfectly fine with using Google for their Wallet service, or for their email, or even for Google Play. It's the same thing as logging into an account to use Themer. Besides, only a total idiot would turn over crucial data to the internet these days.
Jeez. People....

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't MOST "Widgets" in Launchers require those kind of permissions? Look at Zooper Widget's Permissions:
They access those Apps to run them, so.. someone enlighten me on the difference please?
Ohmergod! This app is spying on us, wahhhhhhhh. Half the damn apps on our phone require access to our personal info and you're going to get your panties in a bunch over Themer using it? Not sure if serious.

Its not Themer spying on us that people are worried about. Its what happens "if" their database gets hacked into the same way WhatsApp and TrueCaller got hacked recently.
But the Gmail permission is certainly understandable since it needs it to show the Unread Count in Everything Widget and having a bit of experience developing apps, I'm pretty sure there's no other way to get the counts.

Very true. But like I said, if people are really that worked up, they can use a dummy account.
