Can this be made into an android app to hook into android's APIs for their modem? I think that would make it a lot more portable
Maybe? The Orbic is fully Linux whereas Android is a locked down heavily modified version Linux with a lot of differences in the codebase.
Androids only work as a WiFi hotspot. I could be wrong but I am not aware of any with cellular hotspot capability. You would need it running as a cellular hotspot for it to detect the stingrays.
Ah, I missed that crucial part, apologies. I'm not very well versed with cellular standards: I would assume that Qualcomm is not very OpenSource friendly. Is there any other manufacturer they could use?
There are no heavy Linux modifications in Android.
what do you mean by cellular hotspot? working as a CSS itself?
