Sorry my bad.. The reason for avoiding Cheetah mobiles apps is this

I may be going offtopic here, but since I am confused, and to get things straight... so are we avoiding Cheetah mobile apps due to it being shady? The app sends data to its servers without permissions etc?
The facts are distributed all over the Reddit page, hence the ambiguity.

They take/buy a perfectly good app and then bloat it with ads and background services.

Try either Lost Android or Avast Anti-Theft. They have microphone capabilities but how they actually work, I have no idea as I have not used them.

A SMS replacement app that shows the old traditional smileys found in the old S40 Nokia phones (The nokia 1600, 2700, etc models) smileys as colorful emoticons instead of plain text. I mean I want the smileys like :-\ :-> ;-> :-/ and others to appear like they do on the Nokia phones and not just like a colon followed by the slash sign...

The usual SMS apps on the play store like Go SMS, Textra, Chomp SMS etc replace just one or two smileys but not all of them.

Any help???

Since I am rooted and have xposed installed, could changing the system font help in replacing the plain text smileys to the way I want them as colorful emoticons???

5. What do you intend to use the application for?

As stated above.

QK SMS might do the trick. But I am not sure if it covers all smileys like you need.

Thanks for your help but this app turned out to have even fewer smileys than the others that I had already tried!!!
Sorry about that. It has been open sourced now. May be a bug report will help. I am supposed to have filed a feature request for merging conversations anyway. If I find time I will try to request this too.

Android 4.4 Kitkat. Non rooted.

Some Micromax phone

5. What do you intend to use the application for?

An app that provides facility to turn off and on data, but only after authentication from user. But the person shouldn't know that its locked from password.
Can a script be created for this purpose? Executing which will toggle the Data On and Off, but which can only be run by me (or someone who knows how to do it)?

Try Tasker best suited for your need [MENTION=77264]Vyom[/MENTION] but it will require root I guess. And you have to learn to make task of what you want or Google maybe someone already did it.

I tried AutomateIt app and although the rule "Turn Mobile data off, when mobile data is on" triggers, it don't seem to turn data off.
So the next best option was to make application crash when the application is executed. So if someone wants to run Chrome, it will crash. :p

Well, as a turnaround it's ok.

[MENTION=285910]TechnoBOY[/MENTION] you might find shake to change song but tapping on back might be dependent on hardware rather than anything else
