Implement certified app features for advanced users #41

Though the procedure is a little tricky, it is possible to install a certified app on a Firefox OS device.

We could provide an advanced installation guide with a different manifest.webapp to use, which would grant the app more access, such as Bluetooth and SMS access.

We could then parse what's typed into the nodejs server's console (I'm doing some tests right now to have a simple command line interpreter) to use it as an SMS console.

We could also try to support Bluetooth as a protocol for commands transmission.

Great idea @316k. You already have something where to start ?

There isn't much documentation about the certified apps only web api, but I started to read some code from Gaia apps, the certified apps shipped with FxOS.

It is might take me some time to implement it, but since I just installed FxOS 2 on my phone with root privileges, I'm pretty motivated :) So far, I managed to dump a SMS I received in my app-manager console while debugging the SMS app.

If you want to look at the changes I'm making, I made a feature branch on my personnal repository of LRC (though it's not working yet)

Cool, i'm following your code. I'll study a bit about it.
