Thanks a lot for building and sharing these files gumnaam.sur!

Another nice advantage is that we won't need an IMEI Generator with this app anymore - as PDroid can generate a random/fixed value here :)
[Nook Color Android Development] Benzoman:
I ran this and just can't see the advantage in running it unless I'm really paranoid about the what I do getting into strange hands. I don't do banking or anything other that I'm really concerned about others getting info about. Is there something I should be concerned about?

I am a little paranoid which is why I don't do banking and such from any android device. It even drives me nuts knowing my wife does some banking from her non-rooted droid incredible phone. It just seems to me that overall android is not secure enough to use for anything private. Am I missing something?

I use Pdroid in conjunction with several other apps which gives me a pretty good idea of what is sending data from my phone. Any app I don't think needs to communicate with the internet for functionality, I block with the firewall and use the log to do discovery on any blocked packets. I have caught several apps (market, no less) attempting to send packets to bogus http sites (most likely keystroke captures) and also to group ad sites that presumably disburse to the developers by the visit.

Any app I feel does need internet access, I pair Pdroid with Shark for root and Shark Reader, and use a winnowing process to analyse any suspect traffic.

I have found very few market apps that are involved with much more than unethical ad traffic, which while irritating and scummy, is a little less than dangerous. I just believe in stymying the efforts of unscrupulous developers ad publicizing any results I find. Last week I found that the trending market app Cartoon Wars was using its permissions to register users info with KRNIC, which is the National Internet Registry of south Korea. I, personally, like to know when my info is being sold to foreign intelligence commissions, info related to permissions as varied as network location and imei(good luck on the nook, right?) to incoming phone numbers (HA!)

I use Pdroid to compromise the integrity of the data should anything fall through the cracks. The more unnecessary permissions I find, the more attention I pay. Good developers explain theirir permissions, and avoid asking for unnecessary ones. I should feel comfortable buying cables on amazon, and Pdroid helps me get there.
[Nook Color Android Development] Benzoman:
Wow! You've definitely got security. I'm just not as worried I guess, but I'm glad there are people like you that are keeping an eye out. I just can't see using so much time spying on the spies.

You have convinced me into looking into this further though. So thank you.

[HTC Incredible S] Tigah88:
Have got a rooted Incredible S since this morning and have been busy all day trying to get it S-On so i can update it.

That worked so i downloaded the update, then it restarted the phone and it stopped on the fastboot screen, which i guess shouldn't be happening.

Been searching for a while now but can't seem to find the problem, anyone who can help me?

Grtz
[HTC Incredible S] richie2000:
hello tigah8

why don't you take a custom rom as e.g. Android Revolution HD

I'm using it since I can't update my rooted sock rom to 2.3.5 and I'm very satisfied.

I fully understand how to use ClockworkMod to backup a full image of my phone and then restore it. I am preparing multiple i9100's for CES demos and need to quickly replicate the same image load across phones.

Is there a way to take the multiple files that ClockworkMod creates and reassemble them into a single tar.md5 file for the ODIN flash tool? This way I can just boot into download mode and use ODIN to update each phone.

I believe that the 6 week deadline from the official release of ICS source code is nearing up. So, if Motorola is true to its word, we should hear soon about its plans about ICS. And I sure hope those plans include the X2... What is your take on this (I know this question was asked a million times before, but the charm of asking it for the million and oneth time is just something different! :D )

Come on Moto! Don't disappoint me!
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I believe the source is out already. Also IMO we wont ever see official ICS
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I meant the 6 week deadline that Motorola said they need from the time the source is out to let us know what phones are getting upgraded.

And it will be really unfair for Motorola to not release ICS on this phone that is not even an year old when Samsung and LG are promising that they will upgrade at least all the phones released in 2011 and even more.

This post was saying someone recently looked it up. So far it's all the newest ones (ie. Bionic, Raze) and they'll "update" us later on the others they may add.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
When I was at Verizon on Monday the rep said our phone was a model on its way out. I personally think with moto rolling new phones and tablets out like crazy the X2 will be left behind.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Not to "Rock the Boat" but here is my views....

uhh hmm....

...We have a Droid x2 which was released May 26th 2011(if memory serves well). The device has been released for 7 months; halfway to a YEAR OLD! Now, with that said, I personally think that we WILL receive android 4.0. Due to the recent release of the Milestone x2, why would motorola release the device instead of pushing a different Milestone device? It currently OFFICIALLY supports 2.3.6 firmware and it was only released less than a month ago. So I think our chances are good to get it. Maybe not as soon as other devices, but EVENTUALLY we should get the release. :)

Call it false hopes or whatever may be, fact is MOTOROLA is a business. Why release a mirrored device(Milestone x2) if only to give 2 more updates? Along with the fact of hurting their image as a company with a dead device?

Next to this, I personally don't care:eek::eek::eek:!!! lol I personally think the x2 is a great device once you ROM it to whichever you want or at least debloat the stock. You don't even "need" the Init scripts if you are a casual user to keep the phone up to speed as of the 2.3.5 update for the Dx2. Once we got the 2.3.5 leak, I ran stock on my main phone for like a month as I progressed my ROM to that firmware. We as the x2 community are getting more development done now than we have in the past; regardless of what others think. Yes, the development seems slow, but how many devs do you see working on this device?

This isn't an argument about mods or ROMs, but we have some nice devs working on this phone. Next to that, "who needs ICS?" I imagine it will be faster, smoother, cooler than GB. But after 2 months have passed, users will start to complain that JellyBean(<<<<Thats the 5.0 or w/e firmware) isn't coming quick enough.

In the end, we are "stuck" with this phone regardless of leaks, mods, or updates. Enjoy what you have and hopefully someone will come along and give us what we want.:cool:

[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I could care less if we ever get ics. Some people always want the next big thing which always has issues when first releases.

As for the milestone x2 sprint just dropped the lg optimus s and straight talk picked it up as the lg optimus precedent. Same phone. Smaller carriers always get devices or a version of the later after they are on the way out the big boys lineup. Milestone x2 are probably what Verizon didn't want from moto when the decided to drop the line. Its not really up to moto what updates we get its more up to Verizon to give it the ok. If the store I went to is correct and Verizon is dropping the device Verizon wont push anymore updates our way. Just saying

(This is just my opinion)

Im perfectly happy with the x2 and I am thankful for the devs we have. I donate when I can afford it and hope even though some of them have other devices will continue to help the x2 with smoother and smoother gb roms.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
+1 to motcher

I'm not good, but learning. The other devs are doing good with the device and I honestly think we have nothing to complain about. If you want ics, go elsewhere or port it over. When we get 2nd init FULLY working, I plan on trying to do it myself.

But honestly, we don't need it....just saying.

Tapin' the Talk on my Droid xSquared
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Im no dev either but past experience on other devices. With a new kernel from moto to have it ramped up or an unlocked bootloader I think ics would not be quick. It would be laggy and severely lower performance. If you wanna port it I think best you'll get to run good as a lite version of ics. Droid eris has gb but its not complete. Devs had to remove parts to make it runnable since the device specs were just not made for it. Kinda like our 512mb of ram....bonehead move by moto.

Hell I have windows 7 on my netbook which was designed for xp....same deal as ics on a phone made to run gb really well. It might run but its not gonna be awesome just like 7 on my netbook. In my opinion.

I just hope mastafunk and the crew have success in get cm running. That's our future on this phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] Meany105:
Motorola wont officially update DX2 to ICS, there will probably be a leaked version (which will be awesome for the devs), but they wont update it to ICS due to "inadequate hardware." That statement isn't necessarily false either. While AOSP ICS wont. Have any problem running on only 512mb of RAM, what wont run on 512mb of RAM is AOSP ICS and MOTOBLOAT
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
So the d3 wont receive ICS? I think its more than enough to run ICS at AOSP, and with BLUR, I'm sure it would suffice. Our phone runs really smooth with a stock 2.3.5 build. RAM has "no effect" on a linux kernel. The way it is designed you SHOULD only have 20mb or so of RAM available to get the "speed" of quickload of different apps. Apps always run in the background once they are loaded and when the foreground app calls for resources it "locks" apps out of RAM and freezes an image to memory for a load when the foreground app closes or enough space opens in the RAM and then resumes the process. The "lag" comes from too many apps calling for resources at a time, that is why you have redraws and that is also why Moto put the task manager app to kill processes after 2 minutes of idle.
[Motorola Droid X2] singlesword:
When ever Motorola starts pushing the ICS update for the xoom is most likely when we would get the notice of our phone getting it or not only because the fact that the xoom is using the same hardware that the x2 is using but just a different kernel and ram, I am hoping for the update tho so we can finally us our dual core processor properly since gingerbread limits this
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
They really need to unlock the boot loader. Considering HTC is unlocking the bootloaders on various phones under Verizon means that Motorola shouldn't be using the excuse "well, Verizon won't allow it". If they do, that's crap. Then why is HTC allowed to do it?

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...gn=Feed:+xda-developers/ShsH+(xda-developers)

I think if this happens, ICS will definitely be ported over easily.
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
It's not Moto that won't unlock it, it's Verizon not allowing them to. Moto is their baby, they want full control over it.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Ignore this post
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Ibolski has a point I think the other manufacturers just told Verizon to go f*** themselves and unlocked them. After all isn't on the verge of being illegal to lock us out. After all there is nothing illegal about doing anything we want to our phones. They are in essence not allowing us full ownership of our paid for devices
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Too many false returns can be the Blame for that. Moto has to take responsibility for a broken device if Verizon were to allow that to happen.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Im just saying the other companies don't seem to have an issue with it. Besides its near impossible even if you don't know what your doing to completely wreck a phone by flashing especially a moto. If your on a forum flashing roms then there is more then likely a sticky showing how to fix your phone easily with an sbf. If there is a lot of broken device returns blame moto for that....I know a lot of moto phones I have got in the past were released with blatant obvious bugs. I know other companies do this two. So its not just moto. Im sure more phones are returned for those reason then because the bootloader was unlocked

Look at it this way...is moto going to.get more or less returns cuz of a locked boot....id say more cuz people are gonna try to change it and with a locked boot its more difficult to do so.

Oh and every manufacturer not just moto has to take responsibility for the broken devices....so the others don't see an issue just a moto excuse
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:

[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I recently signed a petition on Change.org about Verizon's 2$ charge. And Verizon backed off (oh no!:eek: Correlation != Causation!:eek:) .

Sooo... what say? Can't hurt. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
theres already a petition up, its been up since ive had my silver devour

either motorola just doesnt care about its customers or theyre really working on it, i think we should take this up with the greater evil, the communistic red verizon and see what we can do there, but of course thats my opinion

btw, google unlock motorola or something to that effect, it should bring up the petition

[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Thanks i signed!
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
idk if thatd work though, i honestly think that we should create a petition for verizon as well seeing as though theyve been the ones that have 'forced' motorola to lock the BL. what i dont understand is that why was the BL on the OG Droid unlockable, but yet theyve closed up every single phone from thus far. motorola makes durable phones and not everyone that owns an android moto phone roots and boots custom ROMs so why should the percent that does be locked out from fully owning the phone? also, why is it that verizon is allowing HTC, samsung, and LG to have unlocked BLs but motorola is at the mercy of verizon and listens to them about locking their BLs.

/rant
[Motorola Droid X2] roland0fgilead:
The fault lies with Motorola, not Verizon. HTC devices on Verizon have unlocked bootloaders, including the new Rezound. If HTC can unlock their devices, why can't Motorola?
[Motorola Droid X2] RyanThaDude:
I'm with Motorola keeping them locked. Aren't they locked on other carriers, too?
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
yes, but if verizons making moto stay locked then wed have to take it up with both

so why not start a petition against both?
[Motorola Droid X2] phieta:
Can you expand upon that?
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
which one of us are you talkin too?
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I think what it amounts to neither moto or Verizon gives a rats a$$ if the phone is locked or not. Only we do.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
true, but we need to show them that theyre wrong about how their customers will/like to use their phones they /purchased/ whether they kill the warranty or not, we all know the risks of unlocking our phones, so why not give us the damned option to ruin our phones or not? they can lock the BL, but motorola/vzw needs to realize that not every customer will be stupid and try and return a phone that was bricked cause of the owner. thats where i think vzw/moto dont care about its customers

weve bought the phones we should be able to do whatever the hell we want with our phones no matter the risk
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I don't think so. Motorola said on their website that they intend to unlock phones wherever carrier permits them to do so. So, either they are wimps and don't have the balls to negotiate with a carrier to unlock their phones or they are plain dicks and are messing with our heads.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
i honestly hope its neither, i hope vzw does allow moto to unlock its bootloaders and i wish moto would post something on their website or something so it wouldnt be a huge disappointment/mystery when and if it happens
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
This is what I was talking about. Somehow, HTC got Verizon to agree in unlocking the boot loaders.

So, to me, if HTC can convince Verizon, then Moto should do the same.
[Motorola Droid X2] singlesword:
Okay since it seems that most don't know about the contract I guess I could say it. Verizon and Motorola have a contract together about the brand of DROID, I'm trying to find it again but the contract was created after the droid 1 was released and that ends next year I believe but I may be wrong. I'm trying to find the website that talks about it. Also Sam and HTC aren't on the contract which is why Motorola is the primary company that creates the DROID branded phones.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
so in that contract it says something about encrypting BLs? if this contract ends in 2013 then motorola wont have to agree to lock the BL?
[Motorola Droid X2] singlesword:
Not mentions the bootloader but it mentions the fact that Verizon oversees the products for approval of the droid brand name. It was posted back in 2010.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
so, there's no way that we'll get an unlocked bootloader until that stupid contract ends? That's ridiculous! We need to take it up to with verizon then.
[Motorola Droid X2] phieta:
O woops. Ryan's post.

Why is that? I'm just curious to know why, if I'm just not picking up the sarcasm bc I've never heard anyone in support of it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
Bleh, I wish we could convince them that they'd be more appealing to some customers unencrypted, but I think it's more about getting people to use their bloatware. Thing is, I can't imagine why anybody who knows what rooting is would use their apps. Why put an extra paid navigation service on a phone that features free standalone gps?

I guess I didn't phrase it well. I meant that Motorola is probably the ones behind keeping the BL locked. Aren't they also locked on other US carriers, not just VZW?

[Motorola Droid X2] KurioHonoo:
The razrs bootloader can be unlocked overseas
[Motorola Droid X2] RyanThaDude:
That's why I said US carriers.
[Motorola Droid X2] stick1300:
I doubt it'll ever happen. Fingers crossed though
[Motorola Droid X2] miffy4:
I think that it has been up to the carrier all along whether or not the bootloader is unlocked. For example, when Project Cheesecake found the unlocked BL for the Atrix back in the summer, they found it on Orange UK who probably requested for it.

The chances for our phone is slimmer because the DX2 is only on one carrier: Verizon. Atrix is a GSM phone that is used on many carriers around the world.

And so, the best bet for this phone is to petition directly to Verizon (who mentioned before that they had security concerns). I doubt that without some kind of public outcry that ICS, if it ever comes, will have an unlocked BL.
[Motorola Droid X2] RyanThaDude:
Let's face it. This damn phone will never get unlocked. We can hope, point fingers and speculate but at the end of the day the BL is still locked.

Also I'm not getting my hopes up on ICS, either. It's a 3G phone and VZW is putting all of it's eggs in the 4G basket. I'm guessing we might see one more update to 2.3.5 or .6 and that's it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
If you don't mind I'm going to keep pointing fingers, because VZW/Motorola are making some really terrible decisions when it comes to these phones.

As for ICS, not crossing my fingers. They haven't said the Droid 3 is getting it, and the X2 is one step behind.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
My thoughts exactly.

Just short of a class action suit against both moto and Verizon its never gonna happen on purpose. There is no security risk with an unlocked boot. That's just an excuse
