Putting fake SMS in Conversations
 

I want to make program that generates "fake" incoming sms, so I get custom Message from custom number to Converstaions.

I have been looking at d-bus signals and methods, also sniffing with mdbus2, no luck so far.

Is this even possible?

I believe that what you are asking is not legal. I suggest the administrators to inform the police authorities of your country to make some investigations on your intentions.

Actually, it doesn't have to do with legalities, at all, you're doing it all locally.
Have a look at sqlite3 and ~/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db

What he does to the conversations on his phone is perfectly legal (I assume in any country.)

Is it strange? Yes.

Illegal? No.

MohammadAG, above, has the answer for you. All of the sms messages are stored in the eventlogger database on the phone. There's nothing to stop you writing your own messages to the same db, which can then show up in conversations as any other message would. In basic terms, all you need is a simple app to gather your text message into a text field and use a SQL statement to write it to the correct eventlogger database tables. Perhaps even simpler, you could execute the SQL statements containing whatever fake info you'd like to the database directly from xterm.

thanks, doing it via sqllite is way to go for me.

i have a feeling this is about trickery of a "loved" one...

Re: Putting fake SMS in Conversations
 

As long as it's not used as evidence in court, I guess...

Re: Putting fake SMS in Conversations
 

more likely former loved and now hated. oh theres so much evil could be achieved this way i'm feeling dirty jus thinkin about it!

Re: Putting fake SMS in Conversations
 

You should probably use the rtcom-eventlogger API, which would be cleaner than writing to the database directly with sqlite (for example, might not break with system updates if Nokia rename the .db file again, as they did previously). See http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/eventlogger/ or search for "rtcom-eventlogger".

Up to the court systems whether or not they would allow it as evidence. :D And of course there's always the other side that stores the convo as well. Editing it there WOULD be illegal.

Re: Putting fake SMS in Conversations
 

as I'm using python, I'm not able to use rtcom-eventlogger api, so I needed to stick with sqlite aproach. I can see the sms, when I open coversation with single contact, however I can't click on message to see the details and conversation with contact is not updated on main conversation screen, so I guess there is another database somewhere else that needs to be updated ?

I dont see any illegal things in writing sms to my own phone. But its a little bit strange, do you want to make someone jealous with that?

Re: Putting fake SMS in Conversations
 

Enni, no, I'm not planing to use it for those purposes, it won't harm anyone.
it involves one trick I want to show to my friends, nothing illegal.

You guys don't want to know how much fun we've had with this kind of software. It is available for symbian. Don't remeber the name. Something like Fakesms.

Its really fun and usable sometimes, so if there is such an app, i'll install it immediately.

Re: Putting fake SMS in Conversations
 

Haha this could be useful to me, in a good way.

My phone now has messages from Cheryl Cole, Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox telling me how fabulous I was last night.

Re: Putting fake SMS in Conversations
 

wow all at the same time!
you are a go'er

Re: Putting fake SMS in Conversations
 

Here's an old trick that is related to this post:

1. Somehow gain access to a male friends phone and change his girlfriends number in their contacts to your number

2. Retreat to a safe distance and send a text from your phone to theirs (so it looks like it comes from their g/f) that says 'I think I'm pregnant"

3. Laugh.

FakeSMS for Harmattan is available on Nokia Store. :D
