As per google's policy, they can retain your info (including personal) indefinitely. They could share non personal info like browsing habits with their partners. Personal info would be divulged law enforcement officers when request comes in through proper channels. This is the norm with all online providers.

If you are talking about encryption and such stuff, make sure you enable strong passwords (not simple pattern based or number based).

Also set the option in settings to disable USB debugging when phone is locked. This will prevent connecting and issuing adb commands at system level.

Set up software like avast to send remote commands to phone when you feel its lost to erase the phone as first step.

When you try to install stuff from market, see for what permissions it uses. If you are uncomfortable, and the vendor isn't a well known entity, don't install such software.

These are some basic measures you could try employing. 100% security is something not achievable, cos if it were, we wouldn't be having so many people/companies working on anti virus software.

You spoke about gmail...check out their 2 layer security protection for gmail. You have to have your phone WITH you in order to log in. I know it's not what you asked but I'm sure U would be interested in setting that up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I think

this is only for browsers. On phone, once setup, it stays.

@OP: In case you lose your phone, change your gmail password on computer, and it will auto disconnect the email and market on phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adalgiso:
There are several apps on the market, Cerberus and Lookout, for example, that will let you remote wipe your phone if it gets lost or stolen. Also they allow you to send text messages to your device or email messages to turn on wifi/gps and locate it, send you back information, set off the alarm, etc.

There's also an app called Divide iirc, that lets you set up a 'work' and 'personal' data/app profile, so when you hand off your phone to someone or take it into work, you can set it into work mode, and your personal data is unavailable until you switch back.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Gotta try this Divide IIRC
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
@diablo Now I know what you were talking about in much more detail.. Very interesting.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
See, finally it came out here what I kinda should've put out for you in our PMs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jfromh:
Dude. I'm not going without a smartphone. Before I bricked it, I had teamhacksung's ICS on it. There's no way I'm going to have a dumbphone. It's hard enough going back to Froyo and Touchwiz.

I work in an industry that by its very nature is mobile. I understand that transmitting data & putting stuff in the cloud carries some risk. What I want to understand better is whether I am adding to that risk by getting rid of official firmware and installing something that isn't.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jfromh:
I have been using Lookout. I have tried a few security apps, but I've also read a few articles that seem to indicate that it's unclear whether some of those apps work because there has been few widespread outbreaks.

My primary concern is the relative security of my clients' data. Their email could be hacked before it ever gets to me too. But, after spending a month with TouchWiz, I am drooling over some of the ROMs I'm seeing here. Particularly interested about Revelation.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jfromh:
Thanks...good stuff! I recently shared a couple of those things with some folks who just got their first Androids.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jfromh:
Very interesting. Will definitely take a peek. Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jfromh:
Thanks. Didn't know that, very smart
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jfromh:
That sounds pretty badass. Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
To be honest, the custom ROMs here are more secure than the stock one, with an exception that they are rooted. But by enabling certain options I mentioned above, this can be overcome (I am referring to disabling USB debugging when screen is locked).

Also, the ROM devs go to lengths to incorporate any security loopholes that they find out. Best example was the loggers on most HTC phones that logged even sensitive info like passwords. The devs here took care of taking it out from their ROMs.

This is a relative flaw in android that it currently does not support device level encryption like blackberry. BBs go the extent of not even showing contacts and requiring a full reset of device on things like SIM change. Android still doesn't have this feature. There are some workarounds though that we could employ to use this wonderful OS.

Most security apps today (like avast; I am not marketing this app, but this is one of apps I tried that is free and has a hell load of options) can be configured at system level as device admins. And they have options that can help keep them alive even after a full system reset (helps save from majority of users).

seek droid is pretty cool, you can completely wipe your phone and sd card if you want to. locate it , or set a password from a computer
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jfromh:
@diablo009 - dude, thanks for dropping your knowledge. I understand that the devs go to great lengths to make these ROMs as kick ass as they are, and am elated that security is beefed up. I felt just fine running CM7 on my cappy because of the "official support" (which I never needed because it was smooth as butta). I had done a lot of research on that one, and I was pretty familiar with the names and "faces" associated before I flashed it.

I am still getting to know some of the names behind the Infuse development, and maybe the lack of research material (in comparison to CM) makes me a little more on edge.

I really appreciate the info you have shared!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jfromh:

I guess I found something, as I could not find it in the forums here:

While searching for non-vnc solutions to run Xubuntu on my O2X I stumbled upon this:

Here: github.com/tmzt (look for Androix stuff on that page)

ANd here: androix.org

Seem like there was development going on about a native X11 server for android. The picture suggests it is working. However, I could not find a binary package. Maybe I clever C/C++ guru can get it to compile?

I would LOVE to see it running on my device.... ***dreaming***
[LG Optimus 2x] mikee2185:
Looks interesting, its shame that project is inactive. I wont have time to check it out for couple of days.. Running linux apps without chroot would be great :) (and faster). If I'll get time i will look at it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Therollingstone:
Hi ,

I love stock rom , it sounds like untouched version and I'm kinda streotype person and I don't wanna change it , but there are lots of problem with stock rom , then

What should we do ,

You need:

GALAXY NEXUS TOOLKİT V4.0 ,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392310&page=78

( It's really easy toolkit and it's exe , you don't have to do anything hard or complicating , just install it )

Factory Images for Nexus

http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

Download images here and flash it with toolkit ( it's easy , you don't do anything , just put this file to toolkit , it'll take care of it )

and done , you have yakju version and believe me all bugs ( auto rotate screen , Reboot bug on Galaxy Nexus during music playback , menu bugs etc. )

Note : Sorry for my English ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fregor:
Same builds, different regions.

Can't really see your point here..

Both Yakjuxw and Yakju are on the ICL53F build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
Yeah. Exactly the same build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eliotcc:
i just bought one galaxy nexus, but went it arrive a notice that its i9250t, do you know how can i change that to the normal i9250

sorry for my english
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomad4ever:
The only issue I have with changing manually to yakju is that I will lose all my data and have to set up my 200+ apps again. There is no existing backup that works sufficient without root. Too bad!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You can root without unlocking your bootloader. See link in my sig. Once you root, backup and then unlock you bootloader and flash whatever you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
See link in my sig on how to flash yakju.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Not the same. The yakju 4.0.2 build number is ICL53F. The yakjuxw build number is ICL53F.I9250XWKK7 or something like that, which is a Samsung build. It is based on ICL53F, but it is not ICL53F. There are some difference that may be affecting things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
I would have to agree with efrant on this. Before I had stock yakjuzw and flashed to plain yakju. I compared the phones and the plain yakju was snappier than the yakjuzw that I had.

[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Sweet, let us know how it goes! Good luck!
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
Yeah, the LU6200 uses HSDPA 2100 and LTE 800. We would need a compatible baseband image for our P930's.
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
we have the p930 radio image on "how to unbrick" thread.
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
Compatible ICS baseband image. There could be a different in that.
[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
ok, well lets see where this goes...

im NO dev', but i have done many android roms installs, many cwm installs, fixedc many bricks of my previous devices, and learned a lil from it all,

what id like to do, is find out if its possible to extract the ICS kernal, system, radio, and other ICS needed files, and port/convert to nitro hd/optimus lte,

i realize this may not be easy, and may not take short time, but im willing to learn and sacrifice my device to help out the others, as ive learned SO SO much from this site that id like to try to give something back,

anyone that has info on where i can start with the 2 rom images and all this fun stuff... PM me pls...

im willing to learn and read stuff related to this device and ICS, i know LG says to expect ICS soon, but i here they have a bad track record for OS release's

so give me info and lets see what we can do
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
I believe there is a way to extract the files from WDH file that's inside the KDZ. That will contain all the necessary stuff you need.
[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
ok, so how do i compress de-compress/extract the .KDZ

and then, where would i start from there, as i said, this whole dev idea, its all new to me,
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
Do you have the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin executable?
[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
i do have that file yes :)
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
OK, open up the executable and choose 'Tool', then 'Decrypt KDZ File'. Choose the LU6200 ICS KDZ and extract the contents to the same folder as where the KDZ remains. From there, you'll have to LG Tools 0.4.2 to extract the files from the WDB file.

Scratch that... the tools can't read the .dll from the ICS ROM...
[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
ok, i will get started with that, then ill repost here..

im also trying to flash the original untouched ICS rom that was in 1st post, just for giggles... lol
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
It will fail automatically as the model #'s won't match up.
[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
anyways to get past the model checks?

or if i extract the files, is there any way to adb push the ICS firmware files to the device?

also is our bootloaders locked or unlocked, i still havent found a proper answer to that

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

btw, im in the middle of the KDZ file flashing, its doing the same thing it does when i un-brick with the v10f file, its looking like its working so far, but we shall see when its about 90% like it normally does on the v10f it reboots and works, if it reboots and doesnt work, oh well, there is always going back to the v10f and restoring my backups
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
The bootloader has been confirmed to be unlocked. As for the model checking, I don't see a way past that unless someone has figured out the hack. I've tried using KDZ_FW_UPD to flash it using 3GQCT/Emergency and it always crashes before it will flash the phone.
[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
well i have good news

i got the ICS firmware installed, but im stuck at a lg logo with "ICS ENGINEER VERSION"

in the upper right corner of screen... im posting the pics from photobucket,

but problem is, i cannot get past this, i also no longer have CWM, and have no way to get into ADB mode to run the /data format script... i have a feeling that all i need to do is format the /data partition and it should boot properly

http://s417.photobucket.com/albums/pp253/tnap1979/lg optimus lte/

my apologies for the crappy quality, it was taken with my backup HTC Hero
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
Probably have to do the same thing as the Nitro HD -> Bell P930 ROM flashing techniques, format the /data partition before flashing it. Next we'll have to see what we can do about the baseband. I do have the SU640 baseband image if needed. How did you get the ROM installed?
[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
ok, im gonna try the format b4 flash method, ill keep updated on what goes on

crappiest part is, that these lg tools refuse to work properly on my win7 64bit install,

but yet when i load a XP virtual machine, they work fine in the XP VM...
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
Thank goodness I have an XP VM to try with.
[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
yea eh, if it wasnt for the xp vm, ida been screwed from the start with these LG tools

but i was lucky i had it installed for HTC stuff and stuff for my old atrix that is now R.I.P.

i prefer actually using xp for the phone stuff cuz i know it works, i know its stable, and in a VM space you cannot screw up a critical system install.. lol

if u fudge up a vm u can most likely just quick reload the vm and it will be fine without loss of data and downloads and such
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
Let us know how it goes.
[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
i think im screwed now :@

the phone has been stuck at the " LG Optimus LTE " screen forever....

iver tried multiple flash's with FW tool, also with the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin tool as well,

with same result, locked at the optimus lte screen,

i can get into download mode, i can get into stock recovery, with device powered off and plugged into charger it shows the charging animation...

BUT WONT BOOT INTO OS... like WTF... ever since i flashed that ICS .kdz file, my phone has been fubared... it never did this before... i was always able to recover from a brick... now its doing nothing...

i feel tempted to smash all LG products with a sledgehammer including my LCD monitor im using now....

As far as i know, my LG LU6200 has an QCT MSM8X60 unit build in...

I can wait for the final version of an ICS ROM, no time and patience to mess with this right now.

Never touch a running system, works for me with Android too. ;)

BTW. in China you can buy the LG LU6200 and LG SU640 for around 2500 RMB, they all are merchandise and brandnew. I guess LG will discover the chinese market too.

Mailart is a chinese Dev from bbs.gfan.com and the first one who made it possible to flash the canadian Bell ROM or the US Nitro HD ROM to LU6200/SU640 devices.

Thanks to him i got my LU6200 working in a language i can understand.

What i also discovered just a week ago, that he already made the CWM 5.0.2.7 work on LU6200/SU640 devices in december last year. After i tried to get CWM v5.0.2.7 working from this tread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410454 without success and bootloop i had to go back and flashed the CWM from Mailart.

After that i discovered that this was already CWM 5.0.2.7... :D

Maybe the P930/Nitro HD users could try this method (first link) to get CWM properly working. Its really very easy...

Good Luck!
