Do not post warez or links to sites that have warez on XDA. Also do not request any apps that are not free. It only ends up with a closed thread and several infractions.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabio008:
I'm loving to try out the CM7 builds and other custom ROM, but at the same time I'm concerned with all the security risks of an unlocked bootloader and cwm recovery.

I wanted to know if there's a way to trigger a factory reset to remotely wipe the phone using the clockwork recovery. Anyone know of anything done like this?

I know there are apps out there that trigger a remote wipe by going into the stock recovery but, when that happens on CM7 for instance, the phone just goes on that Exclamation Mark screen since the stock recovery was overwritten.

Since CM7 can actually reboot to cwm recovery, would there be a way to issue a command to reboot to recovery AND perform a factory reset (or one that would bring back the stock recovery and then do the wipe).

Am I talking nonsense here? I just wanted to minimize risks with a phone theft for example, by wiping everything (I can wipe the SD card already, but am now concerned with the system itself).

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You're just being too paranoid. Unlocking your bootloader won't affect anything.

Besides.. the chances are, if a person stoel your phone. I seriously doubt that they have any knowledge of recovery and all these other things that most users on XDA know.

If they do know, then the chances of them stealing your phone are low. I mean really, what individual with knowledge of flashing different ROMs and all these other things would have the audacity of stealing your phone? Only chance is if you lost your phone (not insulting anyone but I don't think people would have the courage to steal a phone from you if they are so knowledgeable in flashing)

And you can always go to http://market.android.com and download "Plan B" onto your phone.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&feature=search_result
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabio008:
Yeah, it is somewhat paranoid but I think you can never be too safe with your information nowadays

Having an unlocked bootloader allows anyone to access your phone's data completely and while that's great for flashing ROMs, it's not a secure method.

I understand that most people don't really have the expertise going on at these forums, but I just wondered if someone had developed a security app of that sort, I would certainly buy it!

Plan B is an interesting app, but just allows you to try to locate your phone, not wipe it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
? I don't get the point that you're making of "unlocked bootloader" vs. "locked bootloader." It's the same thing, it just allows more freedom. Phones that aren't Nexus run on a locked bootloader and such. They're able to flash ROMs and do all that.

And Plan B is a last resort app, its not supposed to be used a security app. Thats what their primary app, Lookout is for.

Stop being paranoid, if somebody steals your phone. The chances of them knowing about recovery and doing all of that are VERY LOW.

If its something that bothers you just put a security lock on your phone and Lookout or any other related app. Report it to the police and they'll help you retrieve it.. unless thats something Brazil doesn't offer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
You can use Autowipe app and use a pin code to lock ur screen. Autowipe has options to wipe ur phone after 'n' number of unsuccessful attempts to unlock ur screen. You can also set options in the app, to wipe ur device when sim card is changed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabio008:
I understand the chances of knowing about recovery are indeed very low, still, locked and unlocked bootloader have a significant difference when talking about access to your phone's data. With 2.3.3 now, there is no way to flash cwm if you have a locked bootloader (unless you completely erase your phone), while having it unlocked allows you to access everything from the modded recovery (considering you have the expertise).

It is a long stretch but I just thought it was worth discussing additional security possibilities when you're not completely "stock".

Yeah, I actually have a pin code and WaveSecure installed, so for the most part I think it works OK. But their wipe function is not that great, it leaves a lot of stuff behind.

Дали има комбинация от някой от наличните сготвени ROM-ове и някакъв Fix за камерата, с които да имаме напълно работещ а ОС?

Предполагам, че USB и Wifi Thethering опциите биха могли да бъдат компромисни, но фото/видео камерата е много :emo_im_sad:

Благодаря.

Is there a combination between a cooked ROM and some Fix(es) for the Photo/Video Camera, which has full functionalty?

I guess that the any USB and/or Wifi Tethering options could be tolerable, but not working Photo/Video Camer is too much (for me).

you need android sdk from here

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

read this to learn how to use adb shell

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865685

then follow this, basically you need to gain super user access by temp rooting with visionairy (thats what i did) then push the files to the destinations given in the link below, then you just follow the rest and youll be fully unlocked, rooted and s-off'ed lol

No need to temproot. Just follow the instructions in the Wiki: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Unlock_the_Phone.2C_Set_SuperCID.2C_and_Turn_Radio_S-OFF.

You don't need ADB either. You can do everything in Terminal on your phone (though instead of pushing the file with ADB as instructed in the Wiki, you can stick the file on your SD card and then copy it to the correct location).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkivgolf:
Wicked Thanks so much illgive it a go. I'll message back to let you know it worked. Thanks again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leehopley:
yeah :) its probabally easier doing it ianmcquinn's way matey :)

but it wont hurt to learn adb if your into that sort of thing :) its quite fun!

anyway if ya get stuch just post back, someone will be here to help :P

Good Luck!

remember when you have s-off, get rom manager from the market and get the premium one cus its always nice to donate :P

then download clockwork mod from rom manager :D! you can perform nandroid backups and all sorts of coool stuff!

hi ianmcquinn you mentioned to stick the gfree file in my sd card and then copying it to the location. im not sure in which location your talking about. i tried using the commands thru the phones terminal but when i type chmod 777 gfree it tells me "unable to chmod gfree no such file directory".? do i have to make a folder chmod gfree and stick the files in there ?

[HTC Inspire 4G] jadewolf05:
I was wondering if there was an app that would zip files without compression so that I could play around with custom boot animations right from my phone.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
I know its early and I'm all for sticking it out with this thing but just wow. Apart from having to reboot it at least every day if not every day, I came home today and the thing wouldn't even turn on. It must have locked up in standby and I couldn't get it to wake up. I had to hold down volume up and power to revive it. I'm wondering if its some app I have running in the background so I uninstalled a few and will see. Is this common or am I the unlucky schmuck.
[Xoom General] mtcomputer:
I have not had anything that bad.... just a few FC's ..Maybe an app or launcher?
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
I get hundreds of fcs but not restarts... I would return that pronto. My fcs usually consist of XDA and Facebook...
[Xoom General] Legacy2385:
I get neither....no fc's or freezing...I'm rooted and on the latest update
[Xoom General] wynand32:
The only instability I have is with the browser locking up (not force closing, just not responding to input), and that seems to have started after updating to 3.0.1 (but before installing Flash).
[Xoom General] bucwylde23:
i haven't had many fc's at all...maybe 5 or so since I bought it wednesday.

Overall its been running really smooth
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
Don't get me wrong.. its smooth as butter but closing the Facebook app is almost always a fc not to mention the launcher reloads often when old apps are closed. I am rooted as well with the latest update
[Xoom General] zone23:
I haven't had any FCs or lockups. Its been been perfect and rock solid.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
I have had mine reboot and freeze while in standby quite a few times. But it ain't no worry, as long as it turns back on.
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
Same here and I've had mine since launch day
[Xoom General] cradve:
Mines been pretty solid, a few fc's here and there but I've never had to constantly restart it.
[Xoom General] angryclubs:
Day 8 without a restart. FC's here and there.
[Xoom General] socomdark:
Ditto, same here
[Xoom General] angryclubs:
Forgot to mention. Day 8 on battery as well.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
Good to know. I'll keep uninstalling crap until it stabilizes.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
Yeah most of the instability, if not all, are just apps that aren't fully compatible. I've had my fair share of FC, but its all app based.

Aka Facebook, etc.
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
People who say they have no foreclosures I don't see how your device is different than the rest. Browser forecloses constantly...
[Xoom General] jondwillis:
Device hardware can of course vary or be faulty, but these problems (force closes, not foreclosures lol ) are mostly due to buggy software and user error.
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
Yeah that's one thing I notice about the xoom is its awesome battery life. :)
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
Never had a forced restart. FCS sure, but that's usually for certain programs, not everything in general.
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
I think it amounts to what sites you are visiting and how many tabs you keep open. I have not had a force close of the browser in a while... a week at least. But I attribute that to our varying usage, not the device. I have plugins set to on demand, usually no more than 4 or 5 tabs, and I guess I don't go to the sites that are causing others problems.
[Xoom General] keitht:
I agree. It seems to be certain apps. For example, Words with Friends worked for sometime, got an update and now I cannot even open it without FC. The same thing happened on my phone so I removed it. The developers of the apps need to do a better job with their testing before releasing the apps.
[Xoom General] zone23:
I can understand people saying I don't see how you don't get any FCs. I get that on my ROMs at times as well only to find that it was something they installed after. I'm not saying this is the case here its just been my experience.

I will say I do get them on the New York Times web page. So I guess I can't really say I don't get them at all, but if its one website then I have to say its that site.

Also I block ads with a hosts file so maybe its the ads that cause the problems. Ya I would bet that is it, when it loads the flash.

Here is the post on installing the hosts file:

Is anybody using the apps DoggCatcher and Astrid? These are ttwo that run in the background and I thought might be culprits but wanted to know if anyone else running these is having any problems. I got rid of Astrid for now but don't want to get rid of DoggCatcher unless I have to.
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
If the browser (or other app) is force closing on you regularly have you tried setting up logcat and seeing what the actual failure is? Perhaps by narrowing down the problem, and reporting it if appropriate, we can improve stability.
[Xoom General] singraham:
I have had mine since Feb 28th, so that is what, 19 days. During that time I have had 0 resets, a couple of fcs on non-optimized apps (I won't run Facebook until they make it look like a tablet app), and no major stability issues. I have upgraded to 3.0.1 without incident. I have seen the non-responsive browser since the upgrade twice, both times on the Facebook web page, and both times involving their little link icons along the navigation bar, that are, in my experience, somewhat flaky in any browser, but backing out and restarting the browser has always fixed it. Having used a number of OSs, including Android 2.1 and 2.2 and iOS from well before it was iOS, I can say that Honeycomb runs like a charm!

Still waiting on the wifi one, but I've noticed the store models getting ultra laggy and unresponsive. Then again, I've also seen them stay on forever and have HUNDREDS of apps installed on them.

[Xoom General] eyan15:
8 days without recharging? I need to charge mine everynight

I also get tones of FC, esp when I close Dolphin browser and one the thing froze up when it was locked (the screen didn't turn on), I had to volup + power button to restart
[Xoom General] graphicsman:
I've had a mix of stability issues. Lot's of FCs compared to my hacked up G-tablet and odd slow downs. I sometimes have apps just die silently (Honeycomb app killer not quite doing the right thing?). At the moment, Honeycomb feels pretty Beta still. Hopefully we'll see continued updates and 3.0.1 isn't it.

But if Google et al think they are really ready for the mainstream customer, I think they are kidding themselves. I'm happy with my Xoom, and I would likely suggest it to more technical folks willing to hack around a little, but I would tell members of my family/more casual users to get an iPad/2 at this stage.

Debian or Ubuntu on A70 it

Hello,

Really nice work, i hope you get the WIFI 100% and sound so it will be perfect for me !

As someone told you on your website, the coming Ubuntu release named "Natty Narwhal 11.04" will get the UNITY and GNOME interface, and it will be easy to switch from one to another, UNITY is also what looks like the Ubuntu Netbook Edition screen.

Maybe you can try to get UNITY inside Debian ? you will find more here :

//help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuNetbookEdition

Ex :With Ubuntu 10.10 a new desktop called "Unity" was introduced as default for the Ubuntu netbook edition. The new interface should use the small desktop of netbooks more effectively, give a better structured access to the installed application and be more touchscreen-friendly. It is already planned to use Unity as default desktop for Ubuntu 11.04
[Gen8 General] Techngro:
I am really exited for this. I have always wanted to use Linux as my main OS, but because of certain things I need (i.e. World of Warcraft :P) that don't work well on Ubuntu, I always end up uninstalling and going back to Windows.

And guys, don't forget to thank the OP. It's great when people do things like this to give us non-dev types better products.
