The Galaxy S5 Active has a new app called Activity Zone which gives you the Barometer, Compass, Flashlight, and Stopwatch. It works perfect on our Note 3 (any variant) without installing any additional packages. Enjoy.
The Exercise link in the menu seems to crash the app. I added S Health to the list, but there is no way to remove Exercise from that menu

Okay, thanks. I will try to remove it.
To Anyone: feel free to make any changes if you want to the app but please share.
Are all these permissions really necessary? I don't think I've ever seen an app asking for so many before....kinda leery about installing it...

Those permission might be due to the fact that those apks use the smart watches in some manner.

That may well be the case, but even if it's something to do with a smartwatch, why would a barometer, compass, flashlight, and stopwatch need to do things like read my messages, modify my contacts, read my bookmarks and web history, modify accounts, or "add or modify calendar events and send email to guests without owner's knowledge" (just as a few examples)?
I'm not saying that the apk is modified or malicious, and I'm not trying to insinuate that the OP (or anyone else) is up to something nefarious or anything like that. But again, why does a barometer, compass, flashlight, and stopwatch need to be able to read (and modify) all my private data and accounts? I'd like a clear explanation from someone more knowledgeable than I of why such all-encompassing permissions are actually needed before I go installing something like that.

As far as I know, those permissions are for the exercise part of the apk which requires the heart rate sensor either on the S5/S5 Active or the Gear.
I can assure you, I just grabbed this apk from the S5 Active firmware
The permissions are so you can share things such as your location, altitude, etc. Nothings modified. Thanks @princeferoz for a great share!

Thanks for the response. Like I said before, I wasn't saying the OP had modified the apk or anything like that, just wanted further clarification. My phone's about to die, but I'll install it as soon as I get it charged up and check it out. Thanks!.

Hey guys I need the samsung dive apk, please can someone give it to me? Thank you so much!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
samsung dive apk? . You need to go to accounts & sync in the settings menu, create a samsung account then log into that account via your pc
www.samsungdive.com
I suppose you refer to this: http://download-apk.blogspot.com/2011/10/apk-default-samsung-galaxy-s2.html
Look for all the apk's related to Samsung Dive.
By the way, I read (I think around this forum) it is not possible to install apk's from stock room in AOSP custom roms, so if you have CyanogenMod or MIUI its probably not possible to go back to Samsung Dive. There are other options anyway .
Hope it helps.
I found a simillar app called Lmaxi anti theft.. you might want to check it out..
It has many interesting features such as it runs almost invisible on the phone (the app is only accessible from the dialler), remote lock via sms, HARD RESET PROTECTION (root), etc..

Strange ... if one take a look at this applications list of Permissions ... SMS and Location (GPS) are missing. How can this application send SMS and link to map with location without those permissions ???

ok i noticed that.. it probably need a paid version for those features to work.. because the app itself is just an installer not the actual apk, not sure what are the actual permissions it requires..

Need help beating the windows phone, yes I know it is rigged, but there have been successes.
This is to win the new challenge and get a $1000 GC
SO i need some apps/widgets to help beat them
Challenges to beat
1. snap picture of yourself, tag it, and post it facebook
I know HTC can do this from what I remember. But touchwiz don't have this built in. The facebook app and friendcaster does not have an immediate way to tag the picture when posting. Are there any other apps?
2. movie showtimes at the nearest theater
best one i found so far is cinemadroid, but does not get the showtimes of every city and also have a trial period where I have to wipe data or purchase the full one
flixter helps too
3. Check SO or best friend facebook status and send them a text message.
HTC i believe have something built in.
I found Contapps to be helpful. It's best to know what they already posted and just say it out loud before it even finish loading like what they do lol
4. Post a status to both facebook and twitter
tweetdeck widget
5. Translation
Need a good picture translating app
I found photo translator free but it is so so.
6. send a facebook message then text message to the same person
any apps that does that well?

not sure how to actually use that app to share besides maybe photos.
tweetdeck actually does it pretty well for #4. But how do you use it to send a message to a particular person via both sms and facebook message or post.
gonna look at google goggles right now
edit: google goggles actually works pretty well. there are two challenges, one is to translate something to english and to translate english to something else.
Just takes awhile scanning the image though.

lol yeah its really YMMV, some people check, some people don't. But our stock is actually pretty good compared to many other androids so it can perform pretty well.
Anyways if anybody is interested, who is still eligible to challenge.
I gotta a couple more apps we can use, but since nobody is really contributing... jordan and killbynature, if you guys are still eligible to do the challenge pm me.
BTW we're gonna lose the translation challenge, i think only iphone users can compete against them in that category.
can you elaborate on number 3 and 6? i dont think i understand what needs to be done
btw testing my atrix against youtube videos i was able to defeat the post to twitter and facebook at same time (using social status stock atrix widget )
beat them on music using SOUNDHOUND
take photo and share inmediatly using stock camera app.
also it has the option to disable the screen lock on the stock rom
Maybe you can use some of those apps in yours.
I am looking for an NFC task to wipe all text messages and wipe browser history and stuff, anything like that exist or can be created?
Cool use if that is even possible.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
yeah I'm still looking for a way to do this.
You'd have to look at Tasker/Locale, with the NFC plugin. I don't use either, but I know people have been asking for SMS delete for a while.

I've been playing with tasker and I can't figure it out, maybe someone with better tasker skilz can, in the meantime I will keep looking.
Perhaps the DEV of NFC Task launcher and the new feature that is releasing in the next update of app will allow this. Referenced here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30263230&postcount=8
It would be easy if you say, found an APP that deleted message and browser history, and then set up a simple task launcher activity for that app to execute the activity. That way, you wouldn't have to use tasker (which I personally don't like- i dont want all these middle-men apps controlling everything)
Hi All,
I recently saw the news of a Brazilian developer that put out an app called "Boyfriend Tracker". What it is, is a private eye in the phone. The Girlfriend installs the app, with permission of course, and it monitors the phone owner.
It remotely dials a number, so the receiver can secretly listen in.
It forwards all text messages received and sent.
It sends GPS Location updates and more.
I have searched, but maybe I googled incorrectly, for an APP monitor that runs kind of like avast anti virus. I was looking for something that would password protect instillation permission of apps. In other words, if an app is downloaded or copied to the phone some other way, it can not be installed without an Admin Password.
Is there such an app?

Its working for me... does it not seem a bit clumsy in its implementation? You've got to switch back and forth between sms/hangouts. Two separate conversations. Not sure what I was expecting... but I dont think this was quite it.
I was reading that 4.4 would have both SMS and MMS in hangouts.
It's working for me very well. But still has some catching up to do even with the stock Galaxy s3 messaging app. Hangouts needs to be able to attach contacts or calendar or even a voice recording.

One contact = two conversations. One for sms messages, one for hangouts messages
I'm sorry to post a full newbie post here regarding this but I'm trying to settle some debate and confusion online about Hangouts 2.0
Basically has google "done it right" this time and copied iMessage? (No, I'm not an Apple fanboy)
The advantage of iMessage is that it defaults to data when possible, fallsback to SMS when it has to.
It's also completely seamless, this is handled for you - no need to manually change from data to SMS mode or anything.
2 more points:
iMessage allows you to SMS a "new" phone number for someone you've never encountered before, iMessage detects the phone number is "iMessage-able" and simply sends via data, no kind of handshake / friendship needs to be setup
and finally
There's no "online" status required of iMessage, you need not "log in" or always be set to online, it's an SMS app natively but you can communicate with people over data without them knowing you're necessarily "online"
The advantages as follows.
Cheapest possible was of conversing with friends (assuming your SMS plan is NOT unlimited, I'm in a country where it's pricey)
Privacy / "aloofness" - the lack of an online / offline requirement allows you to ignore a message and respond at your leisure, be it 5 minutes, 5 hours or 5 days. If someone however sees a green O next to your name with Hangouts, the social pressure / obligation to reply is there, you can't just relax if that makes sense (I guess this is an introvert feature)
Sorry for the long post but I'm hearing conflicting reports online that google STILL screwed it up - but that's from people who have obtained the Hangouts 2.0 APK file and do NOT have 4.4 KitKat, rumour has it that's required for the full backend SMS "engine" update to work like iMessage?
Thanks all, really appreciate your time.
EDIT: This also covers what I'm trying to clarify.
