How to make unlocking the phone perform another function too? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright so I was told that you guys might be of help in answering my question!
Basically, I have an HTC One M8 and I want to make my phone have two separate passwords, where one of the passwords runs a command that uninstalls a specific application I have installed.
I was thinking (correct me if I'm wrong) that the phone's security-unlock works on an if-else command, so like:
If input is 1234, unlock the phone, etc.
So would I be able to put another if-statement that unlocks the phone + runs a command to uninstall the application?
How would I do this? I'm a huge programming noob so I don't exactly how to do this, so your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!
Disclaimer: the reasons for which I want to do this are perfectly ethical, I'm not cheating on my wife or anything like that hahaha, I just need to delete an application on my phone through a simple alternate postcode in order to do it inconspicuously in a certain situation. Also, I really need to be able to do this so I really appreciate your help!

M2000

Sorry to annoy everybody, I have had my M2000 a while now and there are a few things I would like a hand with.
1) I unlocked the M2000 and am currently using it on O2 pay and go. However I cannot use GPRS, if anybody could help me out by telling me settings and/or how to connect properly I would be very grateful!
2) I am running Windows Mobile SE Version 4.21.1088 (build 14132) are there any upgrades possible at all to be able to use Windows Media Player 10? I don’t mind upgrading operating system as long as it doesn’t cost too much.
3) Is there a way to back up just my text messages from the M2000 so I can have them saved on my computer and/or my 1 GB SD card?
4) Finally (sorry about this) does anybody know why sometimes when I make calls I can’t hear the dial or the person talking but they can hear me? I have checked the volume (I'm not that dumb) but resetting it is the only thing that works, which is pretty annoying.
Thank you very much for your help. I know there are probably a million listings with these answers but if you could direct me to them or give me your own verdict I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks again.
1. do a search in the forum maybe excluded to the networking it forum
search string should be something along these lines "gprs AND payandgo"
or something like that

3. again search for something like "SMS AND backup"
Thanks for that Rudegar, if anybody else can help me out on this one too, I would really appreciate it. You gave me a link to download WM5, are you currently using WM5, and would you recommend it? I have no programming experience really and it looks quite complicated to install so much so I don’t know what some of the files are etc. will there be an easier version where all you have to do is click a button and it will auto install? You’re the clever one here so ill do whatever you recommend, ill take your word for it. Thanks again Rudegar, if anybody else can help please do.
Thank you.
I have had my M2000 for about 2 months and for about the last month i have also been have the same problem as number 4, where people i call can hear me but i cant hear them, when i fiddle with the volume slider on the side i can sometimes (only sometimes) hear a split second of sound from the other person, its SO annoying having to reset
could be a radiostack issue
maybe an upgrade of it will fix it
also had some issues with my xda2 when people call it sometimes take awhile before they can hear me
the cause of that is bluetooth tools which seem to be trying to direct my call to my bluetooth headset
dont matter if i have a bluetooth headset though it still try take about 10sec before they hear me then
Hmmm, glad to hear I'm not the only one with that problem. It is really annoying though having to reset it when i need to make a call. I'm worried about using a radio update as I don't have a clue about who has made it and what it will do especially if its a con. Where can i go about getting a trusted Radio update? Talking about updates, is there a ROM update available?
Guys install this cab file it will fix your problem..
Or while you don't hear the other party just turn on the BT then turn it back OFF this will solve..

there you get all you need to know about upgrades of all kind
I have taken a huge risk in installing WM5... Well I'm doing my best anyway. I need some help though.
I have so far got to re-partitioning and formatting my device but whenever I press format an error message comes up saying "Error FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed" what the heck does that mean? can anybody help me out?
Big thanks to everybody who has helped me out so far with this and for anybody elce if you can help me, please do.
Thanks.
Anyone know if it is possible to remove a cab file like this after I have installed it? I've loaded it and it seems to have screwed up my pocket pc.
Thanks,
Cian
PHEW!!
I'm so glad i didn't install that cab. I was weary to start with and I'm glad i didn't it appears to be some sort of intruder on a pocket PC which jumbles up the settings. Just for anybody elce who is about to download it, take some advice, DONT PLEASE!!! I'm trying to upgrade my ROM but orange are crappy and dont supply ROM updates yet. Ill try the I-Mate Update. Fingers crossed. Thanks again to everybody who's helped me out!

Help For Nextgen JIC Remote Tools

Hello all. As you can tell by my post count, I'm a noob, so please forgive me if I ask any stupid questions.
I am having an issue with a software program that I purchased from an eBay "reseller" that promises to unlock any Blackberry model phone for use on any network. The program works, but my problem is that when I try to retrieve any codes, it keeps asking me for a username and password and I was not provided with either one from the merchant I purchased it from. I have tried contacting the seller several times but have gotten no response as yet, and I don't believe that I will get one as it has been almost two weeks since I purchased the software.
So I guess what I wanted to ask is if there is a default username/password that the software will recognize? I'm pretty much at my wits end here and would really appreciate any tips or tricks that anyone can give me.
Thanks in advance for all who respond .
No from what I understand about that software. The username and password are a one time use thing and have a certain number of credit assigned to it for unlocking a phone.

GPS assistance

hi guys,
am new to this forum and i just got the HTC touch HD for about 2wks great fone installed a lot of stuff but am trying to develop a program that i can track my phone on a web browser. can anyone help me on how to communicate with my phone and get the gps cordinates.
not sure about this, sorry if i get it wrong but maybe you can have a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482249
what am actually look for is like sending may be an sms to my phone and getting the gps coordinates really need help pls.
maybe this one?

Sprite are currently doing a special HTC package which includes backup plus a secuirty application which can track your phone using the GPS
SPRITE HTC Special Offer
Just to mention that as far as I know any solution includes comunicating with the SIM card. If you want to track your phone in case it gets stolen, well... forget it. I don't believe any thief will be stupid enough to leave the SIM card in the phone and/or the phone turned on. If you want it for another scenario - MAYBE it will work.
you can buy theese lil tracker things they tiny lil sticker things which u can put on cars/phones etc. They can be tracked and reported to the police.
just want to find a way to communicated with the phone it for a project.

[Q] Smartphone newbie: Unlocking?

Greetings!
I just got a HTC Desire from a friend. This is my first smartphone and besides normal uses of the phone like calling, texting taking photos, I don't know anything.
Now, I can't use my simcard on the phone, but I know my friend could use his, so I suppose it's sim-locked and it's obviously possible to unlock phones without going to a store and paying them a stupid price to get it done.
That's where this thread comes in; For starters I want to learn how to unlock my phone. I've searched the forums and looked here and there for ways to do it and I might've found the solution. The problem is that I don't really understand the solution, because of words like "rooting/unrooting" S-OFF/S-ON" "Goldcard" and even "HTC Desire (HTC Bravo)" doesn't make sense to me.
Here's a thread that keeps poppin up in combination with Desire and Unlocking:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943726
But I'm afraid of following the steps on that thread because of my lack of information and knowledge about my phone.
Do I even have the phone they speak of? (HTC Desire(HTC Bravo)), Do I have the right androidversion or doesn't that even matter? Are there previous steps that has to be done before proceeding to use the "HTC Desire SIM-Unlock Utillity"? (if that is what I'm supposed to use)
Any help is appreciated even if the help simply is a redirection to another thread.
If you cannot provide me with help because my thread lacks some information, then please tell me that so I can try to provide the information necessary.
Thanks,
Jerry.
I used it twice for my DESIRE's worked well but I used iso version as it was ages ago
Any doubts ask in thread
Okey, so I should just do it?
And there's nothing I have to do before, and my android version etc doesn't matter?
I really don't remember what state my phones were... have a good reading throughout the thread then decide, that is your call
read the thread thoroughly and if you dont understand a term then just google it like "What is S-OFF?". And the HTC Desire is the HTC Bravo also.
Yep, read, read and read some more until you are confident you know what each term or reference means and what it is you are actually going to do with your phone.
Don't rush into it, take your time. It's actually a lot easier and less painful than you might first think, as long as you do the research first.
After reading ALOT, I decided to try the sim-unlocking utility since it seemed harmless, and harmless it was. It was executed without any errors but I can still not use my simcard for it. It doesn't appear in the list of "Network operators".
After some more reading I used Revolutionary to S-off my phone (even though it was s-off'ed before) since that had hepled for some people, but not for me.
If the phone was bought in say, UK, is it possble that it will never work with my swedish operator, or should an unlock fix that, regardless of where the phone was bought?
Also, any ideas on what I should try next?
Is it possible that rooting the phone and doing the unlock thingy again will help?
It sounds like the phone hasn't got your particular networks settings in it. You'll need to look on your providers website and search for 'APN' settings. In 'settings', 'wireless & networks', 'mobile networks' and finally 'access point names' you can enter these settings then set them as default and hopefully, job done.
I checked the providers info and entered it, but it seems that that info is mainly for internet and mms. It still didn't solve my problem, since it doesn't recognize or acknowledge my simcard.
Right now I just wanna throw the phone at the wall, then go stomp on it a few times...

[Q] pattern lock reset help ~ I've not forgotten it, simply want to change it

Please help me? I am by no means a developer, just a wanna be nerd with a new phone. I'm looking for pattern lock reset help ~ I've not forgotten it, simply want to change it, and while it seems like something that would be simple and obvious, it is currently not presenting itself that way and I'm more than a little frustrated with myself (and it).
Meanwhile, the first two weeks the phone seemed just fine (apart from not playing with Planet anymore, though that seems worked out now, though I'm not at all certain). Now, I'm getting a lot of security issues cropping up that seem disturbing. Verizon tech support tells me that Kitkat 4.3 has known issues in this arena that they hope will be corrected in the next update. There is a constant message about my network traffic, email, etc may be monitored by an unknown third party and to check my security certificates. Did that ~ cleared them all, but that only helped for about 10 minutes. The phone insists that it cannot get a secure connection to Facebook, so I am too wary to do much of anything online with it. Seems to defeat the purpose of even having the phone. I'm seriously considering switching back to my last smartphone and turning this one off (I do not believe that I can return it).
I'm so sorry to ramble on so, but is it insane to ask if the M8 can be pushed back to an older version of Android?!?!?
Thank you so very much for ANY help at all.
Change pattern: settings, security, click on Screen lock and enter your current pattern. Click Screen Lock again to enter a new one, then repeat to confirm, and you're done.
For the second part I have no solution I'm afraid.

"He" is a she... and I am not looking to hack anything at all. I am simply too daft to change my own security pattern. As I stated clearly, I have not forgotten how to unlock my phone, I would simply like to change it, and while this should be a simple and obvious task, it appears to be eluding me at present... (though I am, somehow, adept enough to have already tried the obvious tactic of "googling" the question before annoying those I presumed more clever than myself.
To the first response, I thank you for your kindness and patience, I will attempt your suggestion straight away.
Kind regards,
