Running a mobile phone with android without anti-virus protection is asking for trouble. Would you run your home machine without it? Android malware has picked up 300% in the last 4-5 months with rootkits and all sorts of nasty things coming down the pipe. Here is a site with some of the more recent stuff listed for androids: http://community.ca.com/blogs/securityadvisor/default.aspx

I've ran lookout, avg, and kaspersky mobile so far and have had 2 instances where lookout and kaspersky reported issues with software upon installing.

A rundown of what's out there and some reviews of them would be wonderful but I haven't come across a site with it yet. If someone else has please chime in...
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
On my windows machine i have one, on my linux system i don't,, on my android (linux) phone? Not a chance, make sure your permissions are alright, use your head keep a nandroid backup and you don't have to worry

Oh and on your link there the only "scary" thing said specifically that it was for windows based systems

[Motorola Droid X2] PnoT:
You're seriously naive and have no clue about being security conscious in this day and age.

Google took down a ton of applications from its own appstore because of being infected with malware and then some more later on that contained a rootkit. Did any of those application fit your definition of "shady"?

The world as we know it is not a rosy place to shrug off protecting your investments and hard earned cash. If you chose to be that way then so be it but giving bad advice is not smart.

P.S. I have some swamp land in Florida I'll sell you CHEAP so send me some $$ to my payal account and I can forward you over the details after payment is made.
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
You're the naive one, I've been running android for nearly 3 years and never had a single problem, because I don't run around installing crap just because it looks cool. You obviously do since your super cool and necessary anti virus apps have found at least 2 problems in your phone.

First of all, android is linux base so there are no viruses known to be around. If you want a battery management, then I suggest using Juice Defender Ultimate.

ROFL

Edit : that guys other posts are just as hilarious and uninformed
[Motorola Droid X2] Emperorr:
I highly recommend LBE Privacy Guard as an extremely useful security tool. It will classify your installed apps in three categories, Untrusted, Trusted, and System. Any app you are unsure of you keep its default Untrusted status, and you can edit it's custom profile to disable any privileges you see fit. Just got a Cartwheel counter app you are unsure of and it requires internet and identity info to install? You simply edit the LBE profile after installing to disable the app's access to internet, etc. Any time an untrusted app tries to use a permission a simple pop-up appears with an allow/disallow. This action can also be set as default for every time the app calls on this function. Very robust, highly recommended, and COMPLETELY FREE.

That said it might not do anything to protect from the more advanced malware that might be out there, but is a great defense for the more simple ones.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Just no. Seriously.
[Motorola Droid X2] religi0n:
That is wrong. There is malware for android because it has become so popular, and it is designed to be simple but it gives the apps more control.

Honestly, I used to use one but since I read ratings and am stingy about what I install, I figure I am fine.
[Motorola Droid X2] Furioustylez:
When they say "malware", its referring to apps that steal your personal info. So like I said there before, no viruses for linux base products.
[Motorola Droid X2] religi0n:
Hate to disagree with you but the proper definition of malware is:

mal·ware/ˈmalˌwe(ə)r/

Noun: Software that is intended to damage or disable computers and computer systems.

Now, there most definetely is malware for android. You just have to be conscientious of what you install.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
Could I theoretically use such an application to prevent apps from loading ads? If an app requires reading phone state and identity, and that's in order to load ads, and you prevent the phone from doing so... Couldn't you theoretically get rid of the ads?

Now someone out there is going to shout "but what about supporting the developers?" well, developers don't need to use ads. I'm willing to pay for software if I think it's worth it or the developer deserves my support:

Premium. Get it?
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
If you want to minimize in app ads, instal adfree from the market. All it does is add blocks to your host file and it's update regularly. Works a treat and it's free.

Sent from OH MY GOD IS THAT A SQUIRREL!
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
I already have ad-free, but it doesn't seem to block ads inside apps very effectively. I do regularly allow it to update, it just doesn't seem to work effectively.
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Make sure when you first set it up check all three boxes, I don't remember exactly what the second one says, something like "use /data/data/host file" and the 3rd box is something like "create symlink if needed"

If you don't do that on the first run it won't block in app ads.

[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
I think this is out of hand, a couple people made incredibly uninformed statements here, all the ones that are 'absolute' are wrong

1 there is no malware for android

2 there is never a need for anti virus protection

3 everyone always needs antivirus

All these are wrong. There is malware for android but depending on what you do with your phone you may or may not need antivirus. I use lookout not because I need it but because I protect all my technology. While it is true that you can always sbf if you get a virus, id rather do something free and easy to assist in prevention when possible.

I just have a problem with the way some of these people troll on each other for having different opinions. I know it s a 'thoughts and opinions' thread but let's try to post informed opinions.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
There is never a need for antivirus with commonsense and computer knowledge. Problem is the majority of society doesn't have either

[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
This is false, the android marketplace is open to any hacker, with a desire to cause damage, to post whatever they want. Stuff can be coded into a functioning program so you will never know its there. Look at that list of apps, scientific calculator is on that list. That is not a sexy movie. Im sure several people may find a new scientific calculator and be like 'oh ill give that a shot'. Honestly if everyone followed your logic and waited until it was verified by 50 people that something works, we would have no bootstrap recovery right now. A virus scanner isn't for everyone, and while I respect your opinion, you are totally wrong
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
I'll look into that.

As for my opinion, if I get a virus on my phone, I'll just sbf and restore my phone with titanium backup to a backup that didn't have the virus. The problem is when you get apps that steal your information and ****. I can't do anything about that. Other than maybe using lookout. But I never use antivirus when I'm on fedora or ubuntu, I just don't see the point. With android, there is a larger user base, so you gotta be a little more careful. Virus programmers will write code for the systems with the easiest and largest potential for infection. That's just my two cents, anyways.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
No if I download a scientific calculator that needs more than 2 permissions I wouldn't install it every rouge app that has been found has crazy permissions abuse.

Also Pandora only uses but this also falls under common sense which I guess you don't get
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Your common sense: I leave the doors unlocked be cause I know my neighbors.

Reality: your neighbors aren't the ones who rob you.

Virus scanners have their place, not everyone needs it. If you feel safe without it, fine. But hey, if you don't have one and you manage to get an infection somewhere.....I guess ignorance truly is bliss.

I love how you just dismiss everything like your opinion is the only one. Its ok to admit that you are wrong, everyone will forgive you for being so stubborn.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CanesDrew:
Unfortunately, ATM there is not a working MyVerizon for Gingerbread ROMs. The problem exists on Verizon's end. They won't build an app for Thunderbolts with Gingerbread because officially the Thunderbolt doesn't have Gingerbread.

The price we pay for rooting, I guess.

I am assuming you get the message that you have to install some vz log in software to use the app if so I found a work around. i loaded the latest ruu and backed up all system data using titanium. Once I did that I flashed back to bamf and then used titanium to restore the com.vzw.permissions apk once I did that I rebooted and my Verizon started to work. When I get to work tomorrow ill try to post the apk so we can see if it works for others

Ok guys try this:

It should install no problem, but if you guys have a problem drop the file into system/app folder using root explorer. Once installed reboot then download my Verizon from the market.

Hi,

I am trying out the native Ubuntu/Android Dual Boot posted here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1191141

Is there anyway to move the home folder for Ubuntu or resize the partition to make it larger? Right now I only have about 1 GB left for Ubuntu. Or maybe I am missing something.

On the previous installation using Jhinta's code, I was getting .ICEauthority error when I move the home folder.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
On desktop Ubuntu I would do this:

- copy all the files from home folder on another ext4 partition,

- modify fstab so it mounts home to the new location,

- reboot,

- delete old home if it works.

Don't know if it will work here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] healthpellets:
Ladies and gents.

First, I realize Saturday is probably not the best day to have an issue, so I appreciate any input I can get.

First, I'm running a rooted (toast method) evo, currently on CM7.

For the longest time, I didn't change roms, and then updated to CM7 a couple of months ago (iirc).

Shortly thereafter, I began experiencing random reboots, my phone getting extremely hot, and sitting through bootloops upon startup.

After upgrading my radio, nothing was solved. I downloaded another CM7 clean and flashed it. Same issues.

I download a Fresh Rom, and was unable to even flash it after wiping continuously.

I nanroided back to my CM7, of course with the same instability issues.

Then I nandroided back to the ROM (damage control, iirc) I had (that was perfectly stable at the time for nearly 1 year) before CM7, and I barely got it booted all the way through before it reset and started looping.

I don't know if it's a hardware issue or a software issue, but I can't flash another ROM to find out.

I was going to unroot today and take it down to Sprint. Of course, I can't get the dadgum thing to restart in a stable manner, so I was going to move the PC36IMG file to my SD card via ClockwordMod recovery.

I get in to the bootloader and choose recovery. My phone resets like normal before entering recovery, except now it enters a bootloop.

Pulled the battery, tried again. Same result.

So if you have any thoughts on any of the issues above (in particular the CM7 stability issues or the recovery issue) I'd love to hear them.

Try running a RUU from here.

[Hint, don't run 4.24.651.1 or you'll lose root ;)]
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Since you rooted using Toast's method, I doubt you ever ran unrevoked forever. So run the 3.70 RUU or lower. If you can get into recovery, I'd flash unrevoked forever just to be safe.

Unfortunately your issue sounds like a mixture of problems I've seen others have. If this is the case, worst case scenario is that you'll never be able to boot your phone again if the issues continue... you'll constantly loop regardless of running RUUs, etc. Best case scenario is that you'll always have the bootlooping/overheating issue and eventually have to get a replacement.

Again, these best/worse case scenarios are based on what I've seen others experience. Hopefully the RUU will fix your problems.

Good luck!

Can I make a request to the Programmer/OP here. I have been trying this game and I found something about it I hate...

When you try to place a small Gear, it will be right under your finger, so it's hard to place unless you put it down and try to move it a few times till it falls into the right place. Can I make a request when you click on the small gear that it goes just above the point ot touch, so you can see where you place it?

I have seen other games move above your touch point and makes it a lot easier to use/play
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] amaric:
I will look into this. As a workaround you can place a gear over some other gear (to make it go red). Then you can release it (it will not fall down) and put your finger down somewhere else on the screen and move it.

BTW, I'm sorry because bug fix isn't out yet. Had some problems with submission so I removed it from the marketplace because Microsoft will not publish new version before next week and I wanted to avoid bad reviews from angry users.
