I completely agree with your findings.

According to F-Secure, the trojan uploads information to a web server. In order to do that, it need permission to create internet connections. No permission, no upload.

Given that the suspicious Camera.apk is missing the required permission, it's highly unlikely that it's a trojan.

Combined with the missing permission, this is an excellent indication that the trojan detection is a false positive.

Anti-malware software isn't perfect. It works by locating "signatures" in the application, usually sequences of bytes that are supposedly unique to a given bit of malware. It's entirely possible for an innocent application to have that same sequence of bytes. There have been at least 2 occasions (AVG in 2008, McAfee in 2010) where core Windows files have been deleted by virus scanners because they were incorrectly detected as containing malware.

All of the evidence seems to say that Lookout has got things wrong, and that there's no malware in Camera.apk. It's a false-positive. That's the logical conclusion.

Nobody is stopping you from switching to another ROM. It's your choice. But it's not the logical course of action, so don't be surprised that you're being told you're overreacting.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
don't be a mug mate and come out with bulls*it, what is your problem,i voice my concern over a trojan and with good reason and some people seem to think it's some kind of fuc*ing laughing matter or joke, WTF is wrong with you, even if it does transpire to be a false alarm it's better to be safe than sorry and be cautious
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
i don't take kindly to certain people thinking this is some kind of joke (not yourself) as ive said if it does transpire this is a false alarm then that's fine, however i am not one to take any chances and i do not believe for one minute im overreacting,that's what a former work colleague thought when his PC was infected with malaware he didn't really do anything about it until it was too late and his PC was basically fuc*ed,therefore after hearing something like that i tend to be on the cautious side and with good reason, much and all as we all love Android with it being open source there is bound to be malaware, ive not come across it ever before up to this so i suppose it did spook me but an overeaction no i don't think so, if lookout got it wrong well there's nothing can be done they need to update their systems or whatever, but as ill say again it's better to be safe than sorry.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ouija147:
Another perfect example is McAfee's false positive result when scanning SuperOneClick. The code that SOC uses to root a phone is the exact same code used to root computers.

This is a false positive.

Can't we all just get along? :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
Hey guys, it is a false alarm, stop bickering (this isn't myspace) or I will lock the thread and send a mod your way :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:

Just restored my backup. CWM is up there with the great Android inventions being able to backup and restore just like that is brilliant.

Anyway time to move on from this and look forward to the next update :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
I am going to hold off on KG6, the menu shuddering has become very noticeable and is pretty bad.

Anyone else tried KG6 yet? Am I overreacting?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] carda21:
I am using KG6 DG. Can't say menu shuddering has really been a concern....maybe I am missing something. Can you explain menu shuddering further? :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
sorry, that was supposed to be stuttering...

When using the menus or the notification pull down, the animations are jumping and sticky. The menu bounce seems to glitch to, it will bounce a little and then snap back down.

I am just going to update KG3 with the changes listed for now and keep this build around just in case.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dj_poo:
dear designgears,

there lots of ppl who says they have problem with sound same as i

and every time i disable the noise reduction in the middle of the call everything works fine

i really wonder if there any chance u can make some option to disable the noise reduction forever . i will really like ur attention on this one cuz i wrote couple of time and nothing been done :(

thanks alot for ur good job btw
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
Hmm, I haven't had an issues, but I will look into adding that option tho...

You might want to try a different modem as well.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dj_poo:
i'm running ur latest update

which modem u recommand so i will test if this will fix the problem cuz i really try alot
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hunteres:
i didnt notice any change in notification pull down efect. no jumps or bounces. but u are the Boss if u decide to stick with KG3 i will jsut stay where i am and gently wait for the amazing updates that everyone is expecting.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
Agreed and I have been flashing every Cog ROM and use Lookout and have no "Trojan" messages on any of them/ Perhaps its another issue with certain devices and setups. But then again I don't use cases or screen protectors...But i do use Lookout...go figure.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] djmasque:
Is there any way to boost the natural volume of the SGSII without distortion? I find that it's still fairly quiet at full volume through headphones
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
OH how I miss voodoo sound........Its the only thing that I miss about the Captivate. Music even using Power Amp Pro is not as loud on this guy and I use it while riding my bike . No problem with Voodoo Full fidelity had to turn volume DOWN!!! . I can actually hear my pipes with this handset with volume all the way up!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] djmasque:
Do KG5 and KG7 have the same issue?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] djmasque:
It's almost as if there's a noise limiter enabled!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
get a headphone amp or better headphones.

KG7 are country specific, haven't tried KG5

With all the time I have wasted on this build I think I will hold out for another release.

nope it will be "only" 1.32 but when? only DG knows.

btw it will include all the cool features.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brenopapito:
KG5 it's official, may not have the problems of KG6.

Not getting any lag on KG6 hmm :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] onedollarcoin:
oh...upcoming version become 1.32 instead of 1.4

funny:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hamtar0:
but without KG6 =/
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalpik:
Makes me a sad panda :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] asgard:
KG5 is the one you want DG. Its an XX OXA which is generally a carrier non specific base or test rom. The build dates are misleading as a region specific rebuild from an older base has newer stamps.

Previously we can check the change log number in the prop to see which is a higher bump, is it present?

Love to see a Cog KG5!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NZgeek:
I'm looking forward to this release, which I'll probably use along with the SpeedMod kernel. Especially the odexed browser, because I'm seeing huge lag when first scrolling the page. (After the first scroll it's ok... odd.)

If KG5 doesn't have the same menu scrolling issue, will these changes be rolled into a KG5-based package? Or will we get a KG3-based package first, with a KG5 (or later) update coming at some point in the future.

Thanks DG for all your hard work. I'll donate after the 15th (pay day), when I'll have money again! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maxwarp79:
New version 1.32 will be based on XXKG3 and not XXKG6?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kalpik:
Yep, that is correct (as far as I understand).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hunteres:
if u will read few lines back u will find stating by DG that he is gonna stay with KG3 for the moment. so answer is KG3
[Galaxy S II Android Development] knightnz:
Any particular reason that you want to stick with the stock browser instead of one of the superior alternatives?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DJTaurus:
It has the same day build with KG6 (some hours difference).....its the only official rom from samsung which means more stable than KG6....and those who have tested say that wake up lag has gone and the browser loading is by far the best we ve seen until now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rockin_Zombie:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] stony2k:
Is there a way to customize the notification bar toggles? I'd like to change "data toggle" with "2G/3G toggle".

+1 for that.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 0355:
About the "camera vs trojan" story I can only say that I had no malware (and not malAware or whatever...) alerts from lookout. Just a note: I installed it just when this "supposed" threat came out. So if one had this alert and another didn't it's crystal clear that either it's a false positive or who has the alert got the trojan in some other way (so basically is his problem and not mine). In any case, to me, the answer is "yes they were overreacting" (don't take it personal, please, just a matter of logic).

About the story of which version will be rolled out I can only say that here DG is God, so to speak... I myself have a wish to see a KG5 rebased Cognition, but it's only me and not God!

Keep up the good work DG, your ROM is the best available on SGS2 in my opinion!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jeffojeff:
Exactly :D

I think I should make a script for myself which periodically checks if there is an update and then informs me :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nechmadi:
@designgears

can you insert rtl fix to the rom before odexing it? if it will be odexed we wont be able to do it by ourselves
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bambam82:
switch from Darky to Cognition

Yesterday i made the switch and i have to say everything looks really nice.

So, a great thanks for this ROM.

Here are the things i added also supplied with a little script. I have put the following files in a certain directory and use adb to add them to the /system/app directory. (for now and the future).

SnsAccountFb.apk

SnsAccountLi.apk

SnsImageCache.apk

SnsProvider.apk

Make sure the apk's you want to install are in the same directory as the script.

File: install_system_apks.sh

#!/bin/sh
# Script created by Bart Dorlandt
# bart@bamweb.nl
# 03 aug 2011

for x in `ls *.apk`
do
echo ""
echo "Check if $x exists"
if [ ! -e /system/app/$x ]; then
echo ""
echo "/system/app/$x does not exists"
echo "copying file $x to /system/app"
cp $x /system/app
fi
done

Also i have created this little script to remove some extra unwanted apps. You can use this also to your likings...

File: remove_system_apks.sh

#!/bin/sh
# Script created by Bart Dorlandt
# bart@bamweb.nl
# 04 aug 2011

REMOVE_APPS="Dlna.apk Kies.apk KiesAir.apk kieswifi.apk \
LiveWallpapers.apk Memo.apk Microbesgl.apk \
PolarisOffice.apk PostIt.apk signin.apk \
Tasks.apk TasksProvider.apk"

for x in $REMOVE_APPS
do
if [ -e /system/app/$x ]; then
echo ""
echo "Removing package $x"
rm /system/app/$x
fi
done

I removed these because i don't want Kies. I use skifta for dlna purposes, i don't want the live wallpapers, the memo, the postit, the office and the tasks.

I currently have frozen the email app as well. I haven't deleted it yet because there used to be a dependency in the past with the barcode scanner (SGS1). So, i'm a bit worried about that one.

You can use the scripts if you like. They are not very special ;) , but it make things just a bit easier :D

Thanks Cognition crew.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mach0boi:
There is already a flashable zip of your sns accounts in the OP. Just edit it if you dont want other files then flash :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bambam82:
I tried, but it failed when i removed certain files from the zip which i didn't want. Also this script works for me if i want to add other files as well. Not being dependent on other flashable zips. This way i can have a list of all the apks i want to install at once after a rom upgrade with wipe. ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Droum:
Hi all,

Using Cognition already for a while, as a theme I like the AOSP look'n'feel.

I know that using another browser is recommended, this browser lags (I don't see the lagging in cognition tbh), and that it has FCs (yep, that I see it after a while in certain pages).

My noob question is, there will be improvements with the browser FC issue ?

Or is it really not possible in a development point of view ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] airuzzo:
we can suggest only 1 thing....

change the default stock browser and take a new one from the market.

Opera

Skyfire

Dolphin

....

...

..

.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NZgeek:
Whether the other browsers are superior or not is a fairly subjective question. It depends on how you use the browser.

When the stock browser is working as it should (and the odexed version is supposed to), hardware rendering makes it silky smooth. It should also use a little less battery, although probably not enough to make any real difference.

I'm not big on multi-tabbed browsing on the phone, and I don't mind the mobile versions of sites. Most sites with bad mobile implementations provide a link to the desktop version, or I can always use the about:useragent trick to switch to desktop mode. The third-party browsers don't really offer anything else I'm interested in, so stock has been good enough for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Droum:
I really like the stock browser, maybe because it follows the K.I.S.S. principle, it's a perfect smartphone browser design wise imo.

I have other browsers installed too, just curious about the FC issues, like I said I don't see the lagging in the Cognition deodexed browser, real smooth.

Take care guys, keep up the good work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jeffojeff:
Stock browser is not that great as it seems. I am not talking about being-laggy situation of the stock browser currently but if you compare it with Opera Mobile, first of all, Opera consumes less battery power. And "word wrap" feature of Opera is definitly a "must have" feature for mobile browsing experience. Thridly, Opera was, is still, and definitly will always be faster and smoother than stock browser by carrying the years of experince behind.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrDeacon:
Phone.apk depends on the browser, and as a consequence thereof, it cannot be replaced by a third-party browser. Of course, the only thing you have to do is to hide the stock browser in your favourite launchers app-drawer and forget it ever existed. :)

Market issue, no results found

I just tried to search something and i get "no results found".

I tried clearing the data of the market and doing it again, no succes.

I tried clearing the data of the market, reboot, and doing it again, no succes.

I cleared data, cleared cache, uninstalled market updates, reboot, go to market, accept, search, no succes.

Any tips?

Tips from myself:

A colleague had the same problem. Apparently it is working again now for him without making changes, and now also for me. Maybe it was something at google, maybe it was something with the wireless here... Who knows.

Good thing is, it is working again :)

Hi guys !

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mach0boi:
Yup. No heating anymore. But when battery is concern, i dunno :p
[Galaxy S II Android Development] twigggs:
build.prop and market

Forgive me please if this is not the correct place to post this as I am not sure if it is related to Cognition or not.

It took me a while to narrow down the cause of the problem but finally I figured it out.

I usually edit my build.prop file to give me a different LCD density. After I do this and reboot I lose the ability to download or upgrade some market items.

I can always reproduce the problem with apps like Facebook, Foursquare and Lookout. The download button just disappears from the market.

If I restore my original build.prop and clear my market cache, I can get these working again. (download button comes back)

Sometimes everything is working after I change the build.prop but only for a short while. (this was why it took so long for me to pin point) If I clear the Market cache after editing the build.prop I can get the problem to occur immediately.

Here is the line I have been changing in build.prop.

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

I have changed it to different things in the past like 210 and 192.

I have also checked the permissions and ownership of the build.prop file after editing it to make sure it is the same as the original.

I can't see logically how changing the density could prevent me from being able to download these apps from the market.

Any ideas?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] twisted_swe:
Had similiar problems but only with the new market app, switched back to market 2.3.6 and it works again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rockin_Zombie:
I get at least 4-5 hours more with UV, makes a big difference during those long days. I did some other tweaking too though, e.g. installing JD. So it may not be UV itself, but since its there and its not hurting me (no reboot or hang), I didn't touch it anymore.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] twigggs:
When I downgrade I keep getting market force close errors.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] twisted_swe:
I just download the 2.3.6 apk and place it in system/app(overwrite old vendig or delete first), then sett permissions correctly and reboot. Works everytime.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Teslarage:
What are safe values for undervolting? You guys are using SetCPU?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AndroidGX:
Ok I'am agree with this too, my personal gain is ~4 degrees (at least for me), it's always better than nothing :D

You had chance with your SGSII, I can see I don't have that chance since JD increases reboots/freezes on my device, I uninstalled it anyway, here too was the same with/out JD :( strange that some devices get much more luck like you with at least 4 hours, and not me (maybe worse than stock UV). Anyway all silicone are not same we all know, but with such a difference it's hard to believe :(

Yes, using SetCPU since "Voltage Control" wasn't working properly : when you launch the app you get "WARNING! : Assuming default voltages" which finally don't allow you to custom set your values. (well you can but it's not effectiv at all).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cuz80:

Well, it indeed has nice additions but i see the problems people are reporting are heavier. It's strange, kg6 seems like a beta release. I think you are doing very well in keep kg3 and wait a while until a new "kg" is out without any problems and with the news implementations. I don't understand why people here are so impatient with kg6 if it's not better than older roms.
