Accessing system-wide performance metrics (like com.oculus.ovrmonitormetricsservice)
I’m developing an internal Kotlin app for Meta Quest that reports headset performance data to our servers. When running as a regular app, I can’t access the same system-wide metrics that com.oculus.ovrmonitormetricsservice logs every second. From adb shell logcat I can see the data, but from inside the app I get nothing — logcat access and /proc reads are restricted. I’ve also tried reading from Linux system files and running shell commands, but due to Android sandboxing I only get metrics for my own app process. Is there any supported way (API, permission, intent, or service binding) to access those metrics from a normal app, or is it limited to system-signed packages?
Smart & Transparent Offline Messaging System" for Messenger
To: Meta Product Team (Messenger Platform & User Experience) From: Kenjie Lantape Agbu Date: October 14, 2025 Subject: Feature Suggestion: Implementing a "Smart & Transparent Offline Messaging System" for Messenger Dear Meta Product Team, I am writing to propose a new feature that I believe will significantly benefit millions of Messenger users, especially small businesses and individuals who utilize their personal accounts for commercial purposes. My proposal is to develop a "Smart & Transparent Offline Messaging System." This idea aims to upgrade the current "Instant Reply" and "Away Message" functionalities by focusing on two key aspects: Transparency and Intelligent Customization. A. Component 1: Transparency Disclaimer (Building Trust) The Current Problem: When an auto-reply is active, the recipient often cannot tell if the response is from a person or a bot. This leads to confusion, frustration, the common "seen-but-no-reply" annoyance, and a breakdown of trust. The Proposal: * Automatic Notification: Automatically append a small, non-intrusive disclaimer text to every automated message sent. * Suggested Text: "(Auto-Reply): The account owner is currently offline or busy. This is an automatic message." * Benefits: * User Trust: The communication becomes honest and transparent, fostering stronger trust between the sender and the recipient (and with the Meta platform). * Correct Expectation: Customers and friends immediately know when to expect a human response, drastically reducing frustration and miscommunication. B. Component 2: Smart & Contextual Reply Logic (Intelligent Responses) The Current Problem: Current automatic replies are often generic—one message serves all types of inquiries. This is ineffective because a single response cannot adequately address a "business inquiry" and a "personal greeting" simultaneously. The Proposal: * Customizable Response Templates: Provide users with the option to set up different categories of auto-replies (e.g., "Business," "Personal," "Urgent"). * Keyword Detection/Intent Logic: The Messenger system would use simple AI or user-defined keyword logic to categorize the incoming message before sending a reply. * Setup Example (for the User): * If the message contains keywords: "price," "how to order," "available," or "shipping" \rightarrow Use the "Business Reply Template." * If the message contains keywords: "how are you," "let's meet," or "where are you" \rightarrow Use the "Personal Reply Template." * Benefits: * Relevance: The response will always be appropriate to the query. Business queries get formal, informative answers, while personal messages get casual, friendly ones. * Professionalism: It prevents the awkwardness of a casual personal auto-reply being sent to a customer, or a formal business reply being sent to a friend. Summary: The Universal Benefit of this Feature Implementing the "Smart & Transparent Offline Messaging System" will enhance the entire Meta ecosystem: * For Business Users (Small Sellers): It improves their customer service 24/7. Leads receive instant, relevant information, which increases conversion rates and overall business efficiency. * For General Users (Customers/Friends): They experience a more professional and candid interaction on the platform. The speed of the response combined with the transparency of the bot usage enhances the overall user experience. * For the Meta Platform: This feature provides a significant competitive advantage, demonstrating Meta's commitment to providing advanced and user-friendly automation tools that support small businesses and organic communication flows. I sincerely hope you will give this suggestion serious consideration. I am available to provide any further details or clarification needed. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
