[Touch HD Android Development] Chef_Tony:
Let me start of with a few questions on specific permissions:

1. Two out of the three Angry Birds versions on the market require "Positioning". I denied this through LBE and it works just fine, I don't see, what the app would need that for.

2. While I understand that the official Facebook app would need the permissions for contacts and Location, I wonder why it wants to read my SMS inbox and sent paid SMS. I also denied this through LBE. Doesn't seem to be necessary.

3. could someone send me the correct names for all the permissions?
[Touch HD Android Development] d31b0y:
This is interesting but it would get far more coverage in one of the general forums.
[Touch HD Android Development] Chef_Tony:
that is true. but the information here is meant for new android users, and there are very few around the general section, while i think, that many of the blackstone users just recently started working with android.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
I think he means general Android sections of XDA, not just the Blackstone area ;).

Your tut applies to all Android, y'know?
[Touch HD Android Development] Chef_Tony:
yeah, I understand he was talking about the "general general section", but again, don't all noobs just look at their own device's sections? I mean, I don't even look into the general sections, only the devices I own and/or moderate. However, I believe there is something to it, so I moved it to "Android General" and back, leaving a permanent redirect, so this thread is found there as well which will hopefully draw some attention and also contributors here.

Btw. if there were several contributions that concern blackstone specific security, I'd be fine with that as well. Most important thing is that someone posts more content for me to add. I'm not exactly an expert on the topic, just wanted it covered because I believe it is important and has come up recently.
[Touch HD Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ah, yes I do get your point as well... But honestly, Blackstone Android is a very small subsection of Android - I just wanted your (honestly well-written) tutorial to reach a larger audience - that's all ;).
[Touch HD Android Development] d31b0y:
What about a piece on the NSA'S SEAndroid? I haven't really done much looking into it but there is a wiki page over on the selinux site. Although it's more protecting you personal data than anything else I think.
[Touch HD Android Development] infolookup:
Great information I recently started doing some research on this subject matter and started a survey over at bit.ly/infolookup I am compiling security related tips that I can then point users too that have questions about their privacy and security.

I second LBE, I also use Droidwall firewall great app and Lookout along with Cerberus for tracking. Feel free to checkout the survey I will also link back to this resource once I have the completed blog posting on my findings.

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkfloydhomer:
I just bought the SGS2, and my girlfriend is getting my old HTC Desire.

She tried it for a week, with Oxygen ROM and while generally happy with it, she was underwhelmed and annoyed with a few of the more obvious warts of stock android 2.3. The crappy dialer and the crappy keyboard, to name a few.

I then installed a lot of GO apps on it, GO Launcher EX, GO Dialer, GO Widget etc.

While these are in some respects better, they have other issues.

I am now considering if a ROM with Sense would be a good compromise for her. I will not give her the latest stock 2.2 ROM from HTC, I want her to have 2.3. So it would have to be a 2.3 ROM with Sense on it. And I don't even know which version of Sense. I have only really worked with the one in the stock 2.2 ROM from HTC. I think it is Sense 1.9?

So, can you guys recommend a 2.3 ROM with Sense or a 2.3 ROM and some good core apps (dialer, keyboard, sms/texting etc.) that is girlfriend-friendly?

Thanks in advance :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafalema:
I'd recommend one with the Sense 3.0.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
why you pointing to external link when we have a development section full of nice a great ROMs?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3l_P3sc4d0r:
I would recommend a ROM with Sense 2.1/3.0 (Hybrid) because the Sense 3.5/3.0 ROMs are a bit too much sometimes for the Desire as I read and heard (in case of lags and so).

But Runnymede is recommended very often.

So I would go with Revolution or InsertCoin which I self am using since a few months and i'm quite happy with it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvertorN:
+1 for revolution. It's the most stable and lag free sense rom I have ever used. I also think a sense rom is more useful for your gf than a stock Android one. You should definitely let her try revolution
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logimann:
this is also my opinion. my girlfrind is verry happy with the sense gui and InsertCoin rom...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkfloydhomer:
Ok, so Revolution or InsertCoin? :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvertorN:
Definitely revolution.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3l_P3sc4d0r:
I would say try both :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
Why do all threads where people ask recommendations for third party turn out Sense 3.5 and hybrid abomination commercials?

Run either a ruu or flash her a rooted stock rom unless you have an ambition in becoming a mobile phone user support for ungrateful girlfriends.

Or simply buy her an iphone as I did for mine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
You'll probably get laid more often as an added bonus because of it. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3l_P3sc4d0r:
@erklat

And I really dont get the point why you always have to bash the other Roms except Supernova's. Supernovas Rom sure is great but there also other good ROMs (even with Sense 3.0/3.5). They are maybe that not stable and so on but the Users also have different preferences. For some eye-candy is the most important feature, for other it is stability and speed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
Not that I don't bash just supernova, I don't bash either of the Sense 1.9 roms, aosp roms, or even roms which are broken and are advertised as such.

And I have no beef with roms or their developers, but with idiots that turn every rom recommendation thread into this. OK, you're free to do whatever you want, but you can't come and write "Sense 3.5/ICS :drool:, this, this, this and this doesn't work, but it's perfect".

As far as I'm concerned, the scale goes like this: unusable - bad - average - good - perfect. I hope meaning of perfect is self explanatory?

If the op states that he is giving away his phone, Sense 3.5 roms don't have nothing to look for here. Giving away phone with some of it's features severely limited is insanity.

It is you Sense 3.5 users who mixed up priorities here, not I. If the thread was titled "most eyecandy" rom I'd be silent.

I devised a few fail safe mechanisms to secure myself from that event. Namely, getting dead drunk on her birthday after work works best :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudkcoce:
I did the same and she is so happy... IPhone is the best smartphone for girls. That's for sure.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
This, they don't know what Android or Desire is, and ultimately they don't care. But they will never make a mistake recognizing an iPhone and a BMW keys. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3l_P3sc4d0r:
@erklat

I wasn't giving the OP a recommendation for a Sense 3.0/3.5-ROM, I was recommending him a Hybrid (2.1/3.0). And this I can do with pure conscience because the ROM I'm using right now (InsertCoin) is way faster than the Stock-ROM that was originally on the Desire and i havent experienced anything thats not working yet (no reboots, no failures, ... everything is working fine).

Yeah, maybe the Sense-ROMs you are not bashing are a bit faster than the ISC and Revolution Hybrids but there you have an uglier ui, so you have to balance.

Maybe you should testing a Hybrid for yourself because now you are just assuming things.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkfloydhomer:
I want her to have 2.3, and there is no good official 2.3 ROM from HTC. So I guess I might as well try a girlfriend-friendly 2.3 ROM, preferably one that "just works" and that I don't have to help her with a million times. If you can recommend such a ROM, it would be great.

I agree with you that eye candy is not the most important thing here. Usability and stability is. Unfortunately, stock android have usability issues with simple things such as the dialer and the keyboard. And Android 2.3 is a must.

I will never buy her an iPhone, so that's not an option.

What do you recommend?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
That is a very bold statement to make when talking with someone with 217,71 times your post count here :)

I did that, when they were popular, IC was on my phone for a whole 15 minutes before restoring nandroid backup of my AuraXTremeGinger I used at that time. You can feel when it was placed in past. To be honest, I didn't get to the post where you recommended anything. It was enough for one which spends as much time as me reading these threads to read a couple of the first ones and catch the drift of where is it going. After that I just scroll real fast through the thread. No Stock rom recommendations? Check. Commence bashing. :)

Who told you that? You have the one in my sig, baadnwz made his rooted stock GB rom and teppic74 has his.
[General Questions and Answers] DarthPnos:
So I "successfully" rooted my Nook Tablet as per Indirect's instructions, but the NookandZergy batch did not give me any options to install any apps and my tablet basically performs exactly the same as before. When I run NookandZergy again, it says it's already been rooted, tries to do more, and tells me that I don't have the adb hijack followed by a prompt to block OTA's. It was pain in my rear just to get it to root in the first place and it seems to be all for naught and I don't want to have to re-root. Haven't found anyone else with this issue.

It was 1.4.0 and I followed and double-checked this process meticulously. May try to re-root anyway, but I expect much of the same.

I previously side-loaded Amazon App store, Go Launcher and a few other apps before the root if that could be an issue.
[General Questions and Answers] DarthPnos:
Solved?

So I un-rooted/factory-restored my Nook Tablet and re-rooted, this time with the wi-fi turned off and everything did as it was supposed to. I am gladly using my rooted tablet now. If anyone else has any issues, I believe I can help, so ask away.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkxcore:
First of all, you're comparing two different things. How many unique devices can you walk into the store and purchase already running ICS? I think you're seeing a lot of "announced" devices running ICS, and a lot of devices running hacked together dev community ROMs. AFAIK ICS is only "officially" available on 3 devices right now; Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, and Transformer Prime. The Xoom is still in a soak test, and it's for the WiFi only. All the ~$100 ICS tablets at CES aren't out yet.
