    Looking for encrypted text editing that uses GNUPG

    I'm looking for a text editor (or maybe file manager) under Android that allows me to read and write GNUPG-encrypted text. The encryption/decryption must be via GNUPG (or just plain PGP would also be fine). I do not want to utilize any other form of encryption. In other words, I want this text...

    [shell] Checking whether an app is swapped out?

    I'm very familiar with shell programming, but there are Android-specific details that I'm a little hazy on. I'd like to use "ps" or "pgrep" or some sort of command-line utility to test whether a given app is "swapped out" ... i.e., that's it's running, but not in the foreground. I know that...

    [privacy] A calendar app which will never sync at all?

    I'm looking for an Android calendar app which does not sync to anywhere. I don't want it to sync to Google, nor to any other service on the internet. I want it to only work locally on my device with no capabilities, whatsoever, to connect to anything over the net. I haven't been able to find...

    Root CWM backups without blobs?

    Is there an alternate way to back up my device from recovery mode that will not generate any blobs (in the clockworkmod/blobs directory)? I'm using a Galaxy S Relay 4G, and I haven't found a version of TWRP which runs on that device. Therefore, I seem to be stuck with CWM. I understand the...

    Does anyone know of a version of TWRP which works on a T699 (Galaxy S Relay 4G)? I don't see any T699-based recovery versions on the TWRP site, but I'm wondering if perhaps there's a new or possibly unofficial version of TWRP that will work on my Galaxy S Relay 4G? Thank you very much in...

    ICS or JB _hacks_ to auto-change the input method?

    I know that Google originally set things up so that it's impossible in Android (or at least very difficult) to write software to automatically change the input method without a user dialog. However, I'm wondering if anyone has come up with any under-the-covers-type hacks for ICS or JB which...

    Root Where does the T699 store the boot animation?

    I'm using ROM Toolbox to attempt to reset my rooted T699's boot animation. However, the selected animation doesn't replace the standard animation at boot time on this device. Presumably, this is because the boot animation is not stored in the standard place on the T699. By default, ROM...

    I'm running Froyo on an N-1. I have uninstalled some of the apps that I previously purchased, and I no longer want them to appear in the Downloads area of the Market app. However, they still show up there with the "Purchased" designation, and they contribute to the count of updated apps...
