[Q] Security App / Encryption / Locking?

I will be using my GTab as my primary travel "laptop" since it's much easier to tug on a plane and the battery lasts 4 times longer.
This means I may very well have sensitive information, including my contact list, on it at any given time. I'm concerned that if I do this and it's stolen in an Airport or left in a cab that I could have a data breach.
What security options have people used? I'm concerned first about locking the device to keep out the average joe, but I also would like to have an encrypted section on the SDCard for sensitive file storage. I assume there's no way to encrypt contacts or email on the device, but other documents and spreadsheets would be good.
There's still a LOT of things I'd never put on a mobile device, but at times I might need to travel with sensitive information.

My suggestion for sensitive data would be a seperate Thumb drive with password protection. Just to be on the safe side. Use pin or password security on the tablet as opposed to lockscreen gesture. I use all the dots for my gesture so that my fingerprint trails can't be easily traced over.

Has anyone tried the premium version of "Lookout".apk ? I have the basic virus scanner version, but the premium claims to include remoted data wipe and remote lock. Just google it for more info. The premium costs $29.99 per year

Vegan has the logon security option. I use it on mine.....

I use Lookout premium for my Vibrant, and am researching to see if I can apply my premium protections to an additional device. I have been very happy with Lookout. Of all the programs out there this was the one I found to be best in terms of locking my phone remotely and not giving someone an easy way to figure out how to unlock it. Not sure if it will do the same for my rooted G Tab though. I'll let you know what I find out...

I checked with Lookout and they said that I can have two devices on my account. The only caveat is that since my G Tablet has no number it can't take advantage of advanced features that require SMS communication with the Lookout server. But the install went fine, signing in went fine, and I am now scanned and good to go!

How would lookout "Find your phone if it is lost or stolen"??? off of the Wifi signal if it is avaliable for the tablet?

Enhanced Siri for Android [Eden of the East Edition]

Noblesse Oblige​
This application began as a themed method to access the same Siri servers used by Jailbroken iOS devices, but has since grown to surpass even those.
It now has offline recognition, allowing access to everything that is still available without an Internet connection. It has social broadcasting, which allows users to send messages to the others using the application. It also now supports launching applications and improved navigation.
Future features will include leaderboards to resemble the reports given in the show and integration with Facebook and Twitter, to accompany current integration with YouTube.

Wow.
It wouldn't connect to your server, so I switched it to one of the free English/German servers you have listd and it's working great.
The voice recognition on it is freaking amazing, even if I'm basically whispering.
Great job integrating all these different things together.

Pretty much any server listed will provide the basics, just not the extensions. The only issue I have seen is many of those servers are run from Germany, so grammar isn't always perfect and the commands are unnatural.
I will openly admit that I purchased, tore apart, and then based my application on siri0us, which is partnered with grwh. I have been trying to keep the unthemed portions similar, much like a Siri theme would be to allow people the option of using either application without it being a drastic change or confusing process.
Surprisingly, though, some of the grwh moderators have been the most opposition on this project. Even with the server being open source and the mass amount of updates and improvements I have offered back to them, they have this view that I am trying to profit from their server. The application price is unrelated to the server, but the proceeds are used to maintain it. This comes from sacrificing any profit to provide this service back to the user instead. This issue has been addressed and hopefully does not threaten the development of this project.

Iris is like the original Siri. It only works right on certain devices, the responses are generic, and you get stuck with what they give you, including ads.
On another note, that application forces religion on the user by responding with numerous references to God and Christianity. This is something I feel deserves some sort of disclaimer and isn't really appropriate for applications that span multiple countries and religions.
This works with pretty much anything, the responses vary and are alway being expanded and updated, you can choose the voice engine, the server can be switched, custom responses can be submitted to the server, no religious belief is chosen for the user, and (thanks to the wolfram plugin) you can still ask things like how much caffeine in a mountain dew.
Sent from my Jailbroken iPad 3

I am working on the app launching as a separate plugin. The reason for this is that the server has no way of handling things like that, so having a launch command pass through the server would be silly. The local plugin will intercept the command instead.
The alternative was to have the server pass back a value that was read to launch the app, but I would be running the only server that handled it. This will provide the best method for adding the functionality to any server someone chooses to use.

The Facebook and Twitter plugins currently return errors when trying to use either of them. This is a known issue that is being addressed and they are still a work in progress.

First of all, great start, but is is possible to customize the theming? Or for that should I go with a different, non-anime themed app?
Also, where is the best place to submit suggestions for responses?

Sirious! is an unthemed Siri client, but with theirs you lose the search button launch, some GPS functionality, orientation handling, and the default server is configured to their public one (which gets rid of the server theme components, but also most of the plugins and improvements to the server).
In the app menu, there is a button for custom commands that will take you directly to the page to submit custom responses, or under "Interactions" on the main site listed in the first post. If you mean altering the server responses for other things, you can suggest them through the "Contact Developer" link on Google Play's app page or the site "Resources".
Removing the theme would make this just another bland Siri clone, and that was the whole point of developing a new one. If the theme is really that much of a problem or makes you feel uncool, you may want to wait until sirious! updates their app for Siri servers or try Skyvi, Assistant, Ever Friends, Iris, or any other "generic" voice assistant app.

Well, it's not so much that it's uncool, it's just not Jarvis
Anyway, the main issue I had was with setting alarms and sending texts, neither of which I could manage to do.

I would have done Alfred and the Bat communicator if I really wanted to meet the Warner Bros. legal team. Anime companies tend to be less strict when it comes to "fan creations" but it's often an issue with those themes being considered "lame" by the general public. I tried not to go too crazy but not make it just a background that didn't fit anything else.
I did catch some errors on alarms that are being looked into and texts seem to be hit or miss. Both are plugins issues with the server so they will get fixed without having to update.

Yeah, the old famous marvel lawsuits. shame on them.
Anyway, one thing that you should probably look at is the landscape mode. Right now it just stretches the background image, which looks terrible. I had some more response oddities, but I assume you can get those from server logs.

I can only see it if the command broke somehow. It is configured so my only logs are the IP origin of a failed connection or SSL error and issues with code execution. What is sent and received aren't logged.

best app to take notes in math class?

What is the best app to take notes in class with? I'm looking for something that I can draw notes with, as well as type with... mainly something I can use during my math classes so I'd have to be able to draw out things like (dx/dy)(X^e^3 + (5/3)X^2) into something easy to look at. And I'd also like to be able to save it into a printable format. Any recommendations?

Try the SNote app available in this forum.It has a formula button which recognizes math formula .... though i dont think it can be put into a printable format...

I don't really care if it recognizes what I'm writing, as long as a can draw something in the same space as I'd be able to type it into... And I'd have to be able to save my notes as a PDF or some other easily recognizable/ printable format.

Try handrite and handraw from the play store:

While that is true, that's not really useful information for Some_Biker or pertaining to his initial question.

There's bunches of handwriting recognizer note apps in the play market. example quill, handrite ,FreeNote, etc.
If it doesn't need to recognize writing I much prefer Evernote for its vast variety of formats it can export and the cloud sync across devices and desktop
Also Evernote can ingest handwritten notes
see this for Handrite, and how the inclusion of a share feature makes it easy to send handwritten notes to Evernote using an Android tablet

There are free apps that do as good or better job such as Google Keep.
Does not even the Samsung bloatware package have a note taking app?
But there is the Gear App for Evernote, do you use it and Evernote?
Why?

evernote, that over 100 mb (on windows) notepad with pictures and checklist? no thanks.
i'd rather use TickTick and bluetooth tethering to use it for my tasks..
normally i use keep on other devices, but i doubt keep will work on gear, as we have to use our gmail accounts.

Yep use it to sync S-Notes. Great to have Gear support for other notes and checklists

Evernote is fantastic.. Use it a lot for work.

I use Evernote everyday. Its an essential part of my workflow.
Im a photojournalist and have been using Evernote to take notes on all the assignments/photos I take for around 4 years and its just awesome.
The key is to make sure that you create many notebooks so that the content is well organized.
The only other app that I use is OneNote which is fantastic in a different way.
Evernote on the Gear is actually quite functional (but limiting at the same time)
Its really easy for me, when Im processing the photos I shot, to just take a peek at names in the Evernote Gear app.
Besides that, Evernote is also great when used in conjunction with the Chrome clip extension on desktop, or EverClip app on Android, to grab stuff you want to check out later from the web.
The only other app that I use regularly (and there is an app on Gear) is Pocket. I use Pocket because it gives me the ability of having my phone read me the story while I drive. Thanks to the Gear app you can access the particular story you sent to Pocket from your browser real easily.
Hope that gives you a little more info.

I use evernote constantly for everything. Very useful for deeply complex tasks which require note taking in order to close off. If you ever try to tackle something that seems overwhelming, try using something like evernote. Just break it into parts, brainstorm around those parts, and do excessive note taking. Review your notes frequently. It'll help your brain figure it out.
I'm sure Google Keep is just as good, I haven't really had a chance to use it.
Still, give evernote a chance! It's free! And monoculture sucks...

I was an original beta for Evernote. Frankly I subscribe to the premium and like the new two stage security authorization they just added. The S-Note integration is useful. Making lists that work on the watch is a bonus. It's utility comes from the simplicity of getting all kinds of information in and out of it quickly - you have to develop good tagging habits (and the premium OCR of scanned documents, PDF's etc. is worth the premium). Searching is quick and making notebooks and favorites are key. The power is the cross-platform sync (in my case - Note 3, macbook pro at home and HP AIO at the office).
Developing drawbacks are the usual... As the service becomes more popular the complementary, symbiotic products hype is becoming very pervasive. They added the "market" and though most of the products "could be useful" (like scanners, pens, elephant branded stuff), the constant "Announcement" alerts and product pitch emails are ANNOYING. Perhaps the suits have taken over and they don't get it or don't care. Perhaps I'm (40+ and) not in the key demographic anymore. Anyhow i's the only bad thing. Suits aside the engineers seem to keep trying to making the service better. I use it constantly all day to lookup stuff I need, both personal and business.

Yes I use Evernote,
I don't need the paid version.
The only thing it really misses is a dark/ inverted theme for at night.

I use it all the time since I bought a livescribe wifi (great for meetings and conferences. I wish I had this when I was in college). Love that it automatically sync with evernote and can pull up anytime to recall.

Yea I was thinking the same thing but the paper isn't that much more expensive. Please, you can print out the paper as well. If you take a lot of notes, then it's definitely worth it. There's a new one that came out that connects through BT and connects to an iOS app. But an android is coming out soon. However, i like the idea of pulling the notes and recording from the cloud.

Best EWS email app

Anyone have any luck with any EWS clients? I've been using AquaMail, which works well, but is tough on the battery. It must be an OWA or EWS compatible app. The reason for this is, any Activesync app causes my companies security policies to ban my email access because I do not have Maas360 installed. I refuse to install Maas360 and give my company that much access to my personal phone. Also, it wont work with my device being rooted. I would also prefer the app handles email like AquaMail does. Thanks for any recommendations.
I wish there was a way to make NineMail work, that app is excellent.

We are pretty locked down... our IT department is tough when it comes to permissions and such.
Normally I just keep a look out on reddit.com/r/android and when I see that an update for Play Services has been released, I look into it and see what it entails.
