[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzyager:
I JUST flashed the AOSP Gingertazz ROM this morning and so far I love it. So far it is noticeably faster than GSB - probably because some of the bloatware is removed. I'll give it a few days so I can add a bunch of my own bloat and see how it goes.

Though I've really loved all the ROMs I've used so far - can't say enough how appreciative I am for the work the devs have done and continue to do to improve this 'end-of-life' Eris! I don't really even think about my next phone anymore since rooting a few months ago.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattlwoo:
I want ditto the sentiment. It has been refreshing to see life breathed into my phone after repeated attempts to make the stock version work. Thanks deb's for making my update in October a mute point.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkje:
I've been running GSB since version 2.0 I think. It's been running very well with very few issues, which I suspect wouldn't be happening if I would follow shed's instructions to wipe data before loading each new release. Today, I decided to give GingerTazz a shot. I tried out the current version 22. GingerTazz seems like a pretty solid ROM, but I missed a few of the bells and whistles of GSB and how snappy GSB is, even with all the stuff I've loaded on it. Both of these guys are top notch in my book, and I will pay attention to which phones they and Kaos use to determine which phone I get next. My recommendation, based on my experience and preferences =GSB.

[Thunderbolt General] sonofskywalker3:
So I have updated to the latest RUU leak and things are running great, but I'm having some issues I wonder if anyone can duplicate.

I deodexed the phone and didn't have any issues, I flashed this accurate battery mod and things seemed fine, but when I wiped data after the mod was flashed it's not booting.

Now I've got a nandroid backup, so i'm not stuck or anything, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of an accurate battery mod made for the new leak?
[Thunderbolt General] magicriggs:
I know two ways you can try to get an accurate reading of your battery. 1. In recovery wipe battery stats after a couple bump charges. 2. Or download battery calibration from the market. Hope this helps.
[Thunderbolt General] sonofskywalker3:
Thanks for the advice, but I was actually not talking about the battery being inaccurate, I'm looking for a mod that changes the default battery status icon in the notification bar to include a percentage of battery life left.
[Thunderbolt General] onsht1kll:
If your ROM is deodexed then use UOT kitchen .. because of the framework you wont find a standard mod for a battery with percentages. I personally like the honeycomb battery.
[Thunderbolt General] magicriggs:
Whoops my bad. Sorry.

Gingerbread runs just fine without task managers. If anything I'd suggest Autokiller Memory Optimizer on the Moderate or Optimum setting. Much better than all other memory management apps since you just set the preset and use your phone.

Hi guys

Picking up my midnight blue Arc tomorrow, just need someone to detail the most efficient way of migrating from my current X10i to Xperia Arc. Please spare no expense on detail, my contacts are stored on google but I am yet to figure out how to move my SMSs to the new device.

Any advice or information would be appreciated.

Cheers.

I migrated from X10 to Arc & i can tell you what i did :p

Is it possible to implement some sort of block for this kind of system dump?

Slashdot link

Could it be as simple as leaving USB debugging off and using a pin/pattern lock? Or would it require something as complex as whole-disk (card) encryption like TrueCrypt?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
It really depends..

First.. those kinds of articles do have a way of getting blown out of proportion.

I've heard a lot about what people "can" do only to find out that when you really start digging into it... they made false/misleading claims.

Although if the article is to be believed.. a password wouldn't do any good as you can read "defeats password protection."

Something along the lines of truecrypt would be a prerequisite..

Also.. there are some major legal problems.. like sensitive data on phones ranging from a frisky girlfriend/boyfriend to confidential patient information in a doctor/lawyers email..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
Pull battery

If I have helped press thanks.;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13_:
Without a warrant, what they are doing is against the law. To obtain a warrant they would have to specify what was being looked for and need to be reasonably confident the phone have evidence leading to prosecution of believed criminal offense.

Remember, Lawful and Legal are two entirely different things. So they may be searching phones unlawfully while legally within bounds.

Law = Immutable rule, you know them with out being told (ex, Do not steal, Do not kill)

Statute = Legislation given the force of law (ex. seat belt , any "rule" you must be told of)

Code = Legislation given the force of law by Corp. (ex. local code- dry counties, no smoking in city bars, must wear black shoes to work at walmart < lol )

Encryption will stop this. I don't see it being a problem though due to the fact nothing found will be usable in ANY court of law without having obtained a warrant. Know and use your rights, as they will continue to be taken away until "YOU" draw the line in the sand and say No More.

Also: This is not new tech, they been doing this for some time, had the capability at least. Agree with Snow_Fox.... it is blown out of proportion, but for other reason. Its not that they cant, its that at this time, it is not a rampant thing. From there do what you will ......
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsoul:
Agreed with everything said with regards to legality. However, our government seems to do a lot of things illegally. It seems that all a law enforcement person has to say is "terrorism" and they get a hall pass for anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
I am just glad to see such responses to this.. We need to spread the word.

Maybe its time to create a website dedicated to educating people of the (what should be shocking and horrifying) loss of rights we seem to be having.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13_:
Oh yes, I agree, they will/do. The thing is we need to be brave enough to stand up and so NO and "enforce our rights", or they will surely continue to walk all over the scared general population.

Also, it is clearly illegal. To search your home pc, a warrant must be obtained. To get you home phone records, a warrant must be obtained. To listen to your phone calls, a warrant must be obtained. To look at your photo album in your hall closet, a warrant must be obtained. To search the locked trunk/glove compartment of your vehicle, a warrant must be obtained.

Smartphones are comparable to all of the above combined into one.A warrant less search is definitely illegal and unlawful and a violation of rights. Hold some feets to the fire, learn to say NO, consequences will never be the same :p

it is soo vague i think this is a conceptual project and not something being deployed, if it were in use there would be more details, does it communicate over cellular? wifi? bluetooth? usb? are gsm phones safe?, are cdma phones safe?

can it be done without the driver knowing about it? or is it a search you can refuse? can you protect against it by encrypting the sd card, the sdcard + /system + /data +/cache?

what security exploits does it use?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Sounds to me like a technology that is available and there is no evidence yet that it is being abused. Odd though that the article has obvious errors, stating that Michigan has no cell phone laws, as texting and driving will get you pulled over. This opens the door to more abuse by police than worrying about them illegaly searching my phone. All they have to do is see you looking at your phone and they can claim that you appeared to be texting, thus justifying the traffic stop. I in no way condone texting/driving but it seems that we have given the police free reign to pull anyone over virtually at will given the plethora of "primary" offenses.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsoul:
Please tell me you're joking. The micro usb cable provides power + data simultaneously, try it for yourself if you don't believe me. And freedom & privacy should be everyone's biggest issue -- at least, all Americans.

If you followed the links to read the articles you would see that it is already deployed and in use, hence the ACLU FOIA request.

According to Cellebrite's website here, the Captivate is by cable (screencap attached).

Not much info about the exploits' particulars, but here are some choice snippets from Cellebrite's site:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
ACTUALLY you may want to try it yourself. the phone DOES NOT RUN OR MOUNT without battery. take out battery, plug it in, and dont post anything on xda until it mounts to your PC... I'll wait here for you...

If you Plug it in

first

and remove the battery it will run for 22 seconds then shut off (with official Samsung AC charger) and 4 seconds with aftermarket "USB" charging
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimk9:
Yeah, that's going to do a lot of good.

Surely if they are asking for the phone they will also either ask you to stop taking out the battery or if you have already done so, ask for the battery also?

In either case it is no different than simply refusing to give the phone. Either you get away with it because they are taking advantage of people being intimidated into giving them permission or they arrest you for refusing to give them the phone or the battery.

Even worse, taking the battery out just makes you look like a smartass if they see you doing it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsoul:
You're right, I stand corrected.

Exactly. Especially for those of us with cases.

In addition, this has broader application than just keeping your info private from authorities. What about if your phone is lost or stolen? You wouldn't have an opportunity to pull the battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
but im sure if they have a dump computer, it wouldnt be a far reach at all to have a variable voltage power supply with 2 tiny clip on leads....

but there is any EASY fix for this,

but not capable on our captivate, needs some programming...

in the newer phones they have NFC chip readers, (Near Field Communication)

get a micro chip NFC implanted into your body, and have the new generation phones encrypt its whole OS to your Chip ID on first boot, and needs your chip near by to do anything at all or unlock it by storing your chip in flash memory temporarily until locked again.

easy fix.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
As long as there are devices that that store information there will be devices that can swipe it. As for if it is right or not, that is not my place to say. A simple lock will require that the cops get a search warrent for it, so just keep it locked.

I personally hate people who text and drive but there will always be people that do it no matter who they hurt while they do it.

There will be no true way to stop this if what they are saying is true. As they would need to be working with the OS makers for it to work. So while these devices may have just come into light, they have been around for awhile. We will keep an eye on it, but to be honest all that one could really do is not keep anything on the phone that you have to worry about the cops seeing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatttire:
I agree with you in principal, but the truth is that cops break privacy laws all the time, and regional judges allow it all the time.

Then it goes to the state supreme court and the judge says "really? You thought that was legal? Really??!?" But of course the cop keeps his job... regional judges keep their jobs... and there's no system in place to keep it from happening again in another context.

Hopefully you are rich and can afford a lawyer to rightfully defend yourself against cops that are breaking the law.
