iMessage on Android Anyone interested? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hello everyone!!! I have currently been working on iMessage for Android. However the use of a Mac OSX computer is necessary or you can use a virtual machine. I need a android developer for the app, shell scriptors, and Xcode developers.
If you would like to help shoot me a PM and reply to the post.
If you are just interested post in the forum to show your support.
Right now I can currently send iMessage messages via terminal.

Curious....

that would be cool

2nd, that it would be cool.

This would be great!!! especially if there was a way it could be integrated into the stock app kind of like how Cyanogen announced that google voice is being integrated into stock sms.

I'd be interested in this. Wish I could help ya out though! One day....one day...

Have everything required and I'm definitely interested. PM me! Love to help.

Sure, What it does is uses the iMessage.app program on a mac to send and recieve messages. the messages are then sent to the android phone and can be replied to in a normal style messaging app. It will also allow you to choose which email address you want to send it with.

So will the use need an iOS device to get this to work? If there any way of just getting the imessanger software on android n send like SMS style etc etc

I don't know if you have spoken to him already or not but I think it's worth sending a message to team cm or Steve kondik to see if there's anything they can do or possibly work this into cm.

Its not going to be meant to be put into a preexisting messaging application. There are just too many settings that would have to be implemented. I am going to try and develop and app that will work with it and maybe a plugin that adds support for native messaging.

All you will need is Mac OSX no iPhone.

so the only way this will function is through mac osx? it wouldn't be possible to have a native android app that operates straight through the imesage servers?

I think a majority of the people who don't have iMessage don't have an MAC to use. The idea you proposed sound interesting because it gave us hope of by passing any apple product and still being able to talk to apple users!

I disagree. Both my wife and I are android users and Mac users. We left windows 8 year ago and haven't looked back. The customization of Android is what we love and iOS sucks for full Google services integration (especially since both our jobs are dependent on Google services). However we do have imessage on our Macs, and have friends/family that use iOS. While an app that would work without the use of a Mac would be great, I'm highly interested in using it through my mac, or any other way it would work. I'm currently using VZW messenger app on the ipad so i can answer text messages when using that.

Anybody else hear about Ubuntu for Android?

This is probably old news but I just recently saw this on the Ubuntu website. Looks pretty freaking sweet! Still in development tho.

There's actually a phone made by Fujitsu that's similar in that it can be booted into the full desktop windows 7 32 bit by the switch of a button. The downside I see to it is that when you are running it the phones radio is turned off so you can't receive calls or texts also the phone UI is some proprietary Fujitsu software. Needless to say it looks pretty lame compared to Android but nevertheless it's still pretty awesome looking. Here's a few links if you guy's wanna check it out.

Would like to point out while Ubuntu are working on it, there are already a range of projects to get it running on your device (see my sig) my project is on of the more active projects, really the only big thing missing that they have working is native graphics (right now my project uses a vnc server within ubuntu to view gui within android).
Mine works on a whole host of devices (not just dual core like ubuntu project) and you can also install debian or backtrack if you wish.
We are in the process of adding more options to the app and making it far more user friendly (Although it is already pretty fool proof)
I love ubuntu on my pc. I would love it on my phone.

Android pentesting

Hi guys i work in IT security my job is mainly pentesting for those of you who do not no what that is its basically an ethical hacker and i am interested as to weather there are meny apps or framework to do this on android if you no of any please list them below thanks for your help everyone
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Are you trying to pentest Android or use Android to pentest your customers?
You can run Backtrack on Android-powered devices but you may encounter problems with e.g. promiscous mode
Pentesting Android itself is a different target alltogether but tools catered for Network Man-in-the-middle, Java attacks or Linux attacks (Android being based on Linux and GNU tools) should help you out
I was thinking more of using Android as a pentesting platform as it would make my job a lot quicker if I could run certain attacks from my phone

dSploit is a good framework so far...there's also zANTI which isn't free and basically has less options. For ARP-Spoofing there's droidsheep and SSLstrip as a standalone app. if you're rooted you can even change your mac adress via Mac Adress Ghost,
#edit: As d4fseeker said promiscous mode is almost non existant for the most wifi chipsets at this point so you won't get very far in regards to WiFi "pentesting"
Thanks for your help mate I have been testing dsploit which is very interesting and as for Zanti I think it's a bit of a con the way they make you pay for creds and I'm not that interested in arp spoofing or wifi cracking there a bit a mature and you don't get many requests for that sort of thing in my line of work lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
depending on what your line of work is you might want to take a a look at the mobile version of wireshark/ettercap for wireshark the app is simply called shark and to crudly read the pcap files there's shark reader. other than that i would prefer a netbook with the linux distribution of your choice over a smartphone any time, yeah it's nice that you are able to do some network mapping and a few kind of attacks etc. with your android but not much more than that not bad for an initial assessment if you want deeper analysis use your notebook/netbook

To be fair I was using the standard android keyboard without auto correct which was my own fault as I tend to type quite fast and not read it back and I'm in my mid 20s lol not 13 but no worry we all make mistakes mate

Well my job is more vulnerability assessment and then showing people how these can be exploited and explaining what damage can be done through this and then suddgesting ways of patching these systems up I was just thinking the way smart phones are getting so powerful it may be possible to have some of these programs on a phone although dsploit does have a vulnerability scanner built in

Facebook Home Discussion

Just finished watching the livestream of the Facebook Home announcement. It was mentioned that FB Home would be coming to several devices on April 12th, including HTC One, One X, One X+, GS3, GS4, and Note 2. It seems to be basically a launcher replacement/UI. They also said it would be coming to Tablets in several months. So I was curious what DNA users think. Do you care? Should we feel left out? Do you want FB Home? Do you think we will get it? When?
People who don't like FB at all, don't bother posting. You don't need it and it won't be pushed on anybody. Hopefully this thread will be for FB/DNA users who are interested in discussing FB Home.
I think it looks interesting but I actually like Sense a lot so I'm concerned about how well it will integrate and whether we will lose out on a lot of features we have come to rely upon, like widgets, etc.
I am getting it one the 12th. It looks pretty slick.

Even for people who are not on FB, it is generally a good thing for the Android ecosystem because, at least for now, it could be driving users towards Android who would otherwise be buying iPhones.
I use FB several times/day, but I don't think I would want this simply because it will take a lot of why I like the android platform away from me, namely, freedom. The UI of FB home doesn't look half bad, but unless you want to be forced to have your phone revolve around FB then you might instead like any one of the hundreds of other launchers currently available from the play store.
Not to mention that it took FB several months to work out some of the more basic bugs from its first android app.
This honestly smells of desperation to overcome FB's member boredom. Google could easily also make a launcher for Google+, or MySpace or Twitter could, and I'd feel the same way. It's pretty bold of FB...
Oh, and His Zuckness also wants to run ADS on the launcher as well.

It's not on iSh*t because it sucks.
If this improves the Facebook experience on Android I'm all for it.. The Facebook app has improved greatly, but compared to other apps, it's not good at all.. I'm always dealing with "loading" ... and "No internet connection" .. constant issues with the application.. We shall see what this does!!
Message
All Im really interested in is the messaging functionality, that was interesting, and maybe the lockscreen, If I could cherry pick aspects of fb home that would be nice, as a whole however I'm not that interested.
I'm always on facebook. That said, this is probably gonna suck given the track record with their FB app. I'd try it if it came to the DNA.

+1 This makes tons of sense. I wouldn't mind certain aspects running in the background I'm just not sure I want it to take over the home screen ui.

Modaco's should work if you are rooted and remove the apk from /system/app.
I'm stock OTA so it tells me the signature exists as facebook came with my phone
The hacked version does work on the DNA its a pretty neat launcher if you are really that into wanting a face book phone. Sucks up data fast for those on limited data plans so make sure to check the settings. Not the best launcher, for ease of use, but it is sure different. The future of launchers could be a good start.

I'm in disbelief. I cannot believe this does not get more out cries from the masses.
Even after so many updates, this feature appears to have been ignored in the mobile app. Yet, it is a cornerstone feature for Dropbox, and has been for some time.
Why does Google give so much thought to Gmail and the like, yet come out with half-baked apps like drive? It's mind boggling.

Well its illegal due to eula... and it doesnt use linux kernels so the chance of getting sammy drivers that work on windows kernel are slim, although you might be able to mod them from some sammy rt tablets
Also windows phone is closed source as is rt so part from having really good conectioms at either microsoft or any oem distributor od wp8 you probably wont be able to get your hands on the dev code

All you need is a good clean AOSP build(not cm or another aosp-based ROM... Real AOSP) with a good windows phone 8 launcher(Google it), contacts(Google it), app drawer(Google it), and lockscreen(Google it) to make it a MORE FUNCTIONAL windows phone.
I won't be assisting in any part of this though. I think it's the single ugliest operating system to date. With the most grandma friendly ui ever. With styling from the eighties.
But I will say, I know 100% that the apps are available because I did this same thing for a friend who plans to get a windows phone next upgrade because he was unhappy with his current phone(HTC one x that is a pos)

You need the framework to make a rom. I know you can run really old versions of Windows but I have never heard of windows phone on an Android phone you could check Google play there are quite a few windows phone line apps as well as Launcher and lock screens.

The windows ROM is not interesting to me at all. And frankly, it's the perfect newb Dev project. Nothing about it would be hard if you find the windows apps and find a good solid vanilla ROM. The most intense development in that project is using 7-zip.
