Scared your mom/wife/girlfriend sees an add for fleshlight while playing angry birds? Seriously this is a joke, 99% of developers dont give a rats ass about your bank account, email, pvt sexts. All we want is to deliver an application that would benefit the the community, and warnings like these would be the reason ppl move to other platforms because it spreads the idea that Android is an unsecure platform. So what if it logs which sites you visit? Firefox is one of the software applications that brought OSS software into the mainstream. It has been long established as more secure than IE. If it wasnt for software like this, we would not have had an open platform for our devices, making them much more affordable

+1 both Firefox and this Aurora are horrible browsers. Firefox team needs to get their **** together. Opera is just SO MUCH better. fast, easy, pretty much all options, hardware acc., flash, , and not once it slowed down or crashed on me.
[Android Apps and Games] Repeal:
firefox is supporting HTML5 (without h.264 because of licence) and flash is just added, it's still buggy because of AURORA. Aurora is very buggy as you noticed, lets think why? Oh, yes, it's just an alpha relase not even beta. I'm usin firefox beta in my mba 11" and old school 19" pc and both uses sync (which is amazing) I'm also giving feedback all the time with reports, logs and surveys. In mobile I was using dolphin but I can see posibilities.

Firefox is coming with steady steps. Everyone knows ff, and also chrome. Chrome just relased v.17 for pcs and macs. but still no mobile (except ICS beta) (also chrome is a google product and gathers your datas so many times more than firefox) I want to say people could remember time gaps between 3.5 and 3.6 and 4.0 of firefox and you see, now they are relasing new versions on few months which is very good (because now you don't need to wait new features for 5 months or you don't need to install minefield etc.)

About permissions, yes new permissions could be dangerous but hey, these permissions for give you something new like sync, flash plugin or new features. Mozilla is trustworhty and helpful. They are bringing Free Internet Space for years and you can't say they are spying us. there is versions for qr droid, with/without some permissions, maybe firefox can do samething for paranoids.

Also yes I'm supporting and defending firefox but no, I'm not a fanboy, at least I'm still using dolphin for manything and also safari.
[Android Apps and Games] demo23019:
The alpha supports flash and is huge improvement over official and beta that is currently on market
[Android Apps and Games] cashmundy:
I use "spyware permissions" in a pretty loose sense of "permissions which are not clearly essential to the core functionality of the app". I agree that Mozilla is trustworthy, moreso because you can read the source. But the browser is the most internet-facing and thus most dangerous app, most likely to be cracked, most likely to have access to lots of personal info, so needs to receive the closest privacy /security scrutiny.

Unlike the Facebook crowd, I look at my info as my property, and ask not why I should not share my info with the world at large, but why should I, what benefit do I receive in exchange for giving away what someone else can monetize (the whole Facebook/Google business model) and which may do me real harm if for example app writers Ivan Ivanovich and his friend Bala Babangida turn out to be not such nice guys, and use my info to send me spam texts or clean out my bank account.

Case in point: Google+ app just added "record audio", but the app doesn't have any audio capability, you can't record and post a sound. I remembered that some years back Google wanted to be able to record audio on laptops, "purely for analytical purposes". That didn't fly back then. I uninstalled Google+.
[Android Apps and Games] xdaid:
Best you can do is contact the developers and ask them about the permissions included. If Ivan Ivanovich & Bala Babangida say their notepad is not able to work without your bank account then ok, let's warn all the other people.

Probably you won't have any reply from google but most of the developers (or app writers, as you prefer) are just glad to answer via email since they're not allowed to reply in the android market.

Instead, the actual scenario is more and more devs who get their clean apps targeted as malware and users who get paranoid by reading too many reckless comments.

In general, devs are not wolfs and users are not sheeps... otherwise there were no open sources (eg Mozilla), no android, no xda-developers!
[Android Apps and Games] DIII:
This should answer why what permissions are needed.

about manage account a firefox dev had this to say

If you still suspicious then you can always see the source code.

Just like I said on first page...

Still doesn't understand why it needs camera function to take pictures. I'm not worried just curious

Lol no its not especially today's alpha release and chrome is crappy browser with pretty interface

become so slow and unresponsive on pages like YouTube in desktop view and doesn't even support flash

Aurora has flash support is super smooth all around no lag what so even with flash not a single hiccup and its not even in beta yet

Granted you're entitled your own opinion but

Sounds like your talking about crappy Firefox browser from market and not Aurora
[Android Apps and Games] DIII:
"MAYBE" its for sites like facebook etc which allow users to take pictures and upload or youtube which allows to record and upload from their desktop versions. Doing same will be possible on mobile browser too.

Granted that both sites have their own special apps for this now. But there are other sites (dont know any though) which might not have separate apps and only way would be via browser.

I am planning to start playing around with custom Kernels, and from reading all the FAQs, I understand 5hat best practice is to wipe my phone first. I have also done a nandroid backup with CWM.

Are there any other steps i need to take before installing my Kernel if I want to restore all my apps? (Obviously I haven't wiped my data yet). Once I do have the new kernel, what are best practices for restoring apps? I have both market and non market apps.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
Buy Titanium backup in the market, any rooted user's must-have app. Restore becomes a joy.

You DO NOT have to wipe anything (perhaps cache & dalvik if you change to a different kernel but that's it) prior to flashing a kernel!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Geezer Squid:
I do no wipes prior to installing a new kernel. I've been installing kernels on Android devices for over two years now and have never wiped for a kernel.

Here's a little write-up that was done about recovering from a Factory Data Reset, but would apply to a rom install too:

1. First, make sure Backup and Restore are checked in the Privacy setting prior to starting. 2. When going through the setup after the reset/rom install, turn on wifi as soon as you can (assuming it is available). 3. After you have entered your Gmail account info, you will be presented with a screen that has two check boxes. Basically they are "Do you want Google to backup and restore this phone”. Make sure you check both of those. 4. Open the Market app and accept the market terms. 5. Your apps will then automatically reinstall (paid and free). Set the phone aside for a minute or two and let the apps download and install. 6. If rooted, use an app such as titanium backup to restore data only to select apps such as Tapatalk and you will not have to re-enter all your login information. I do this for 3-4 apps (Tapatalk, SPB Shell, etc.).

I got my motorola photon from japan, and it has been locked on au kddi network.

I have unlocked it to work in Croatia, where i need it.

I can make and recieve calls, and receive sms, but sending sms seems to be locked somehow.

I can't send sms from "go sms" as well. All i get is "sending sms not available". I even made my own app, and no luck, same message appears. There is no sms icon in contacts, and in default sms app, there is no option to make new sms or anything usefull.

Sms center is loaded correctly from my sim card.

I have set up apn-s, but i don't think thats relavant.

So I rooted my device, and now I'm in search of how coud I make this sms to work.

So I ask you, what settings should I look for, and shoud I replace something with something from verizons photon android?

[Motorola Photon 4G] majkell27:
Thank you for suggestion, but I mainly use sms for paid services like public transportation, parking, etc... so I really have to enable native sms service.

I've unpacked apk, but there aren't any permissions explicitly set as in this thread.

So I guess this is step forward... now I'm not sure is this just a log, so I have to find and kill this process, or just delete this file...

I will update when I find the time to deal with this problem.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated
