Whatever, the director of marketing said in the Youtube Q&A that ICS will be coming, they aren't going back on that.

It was going to be a while anyways, so if this Premium Suite comes first, then cool.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I'm not saying ICS will never come like the article suggests, I'm saying it'll be awhile as they have a well proven track history of waiting people wait far longer then they claim they will. I just don't believe anything from them until I see my phone uploading. I put my faith in the community to produce a daily driver ICS far sooner then samsung. Everytime I look as ICS on my Vibrant, I dream of how beautiful the Note will be when it finally gets it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiggeroo:
I used to run stock with SpeedMod kernel. 2-3 days of light usage is very common. My usual routine is like this: I leave the house with around 98% battery remaining, I spend my one hour and a half commute playing games while playing music via headsets in the background. Once I get to the office, I'd usually just be texting and playing a little bit more games on the side. Then on my commute back home, I would do the same (games and music and some occasional e-book reading). By the time I get home I would approx. have 25-30% remaining battery.

Now I flashed CheckRom V6 and SpeedMod again (wiped battery stats too). I installed the ICS theme from Kitchen. Now I made the following changes: Used Widget Locker with Phantom Music instead of MIUI Locker, Used PowerAmp (with a 4x2 widget in the home screen) intead of Mixzing, used a dark blue green wallpaper (instead of a grey one previously) and I now removed GoLauncher. Also, i played with Jkay and added an additional button in the quick panel plus turned the CRT effect on (for screen on and off). Settings (brightness, sounds, network, etc.) all the same.

With this setting, the standby and onscreen times drastically decreased. Now with my usual routine, I find myself on 10-20% by the time I get on the train home and would empty it midway through the journey. I don't what happened. I keep checking my battery usage screen and nothing seems out of the ordinary. Does anyone have a similar experience such as mine?

Any feedback would help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I do find that after multiple flashing updating the phone completely loses the plot in regards to battery life . Very noticeable in deep sleep a heavy drain .happened to me about four times in a year or so .

Solution i always wipe phone wipe sd card and install my original firmware then root then flash custom rom .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
So many things can affect battery life. For example, if you use automatic brightness and are in a part of the world where it's getting lighter in the mornings and evenings, the screen brightness will be increasing to compensate. Also, the nature of the games you're playing such as the amount of the screen which is black and the amount of time spent in high CPU/GPU frequencies.

Anyway, if you think none of the above matters, and are doing the exact same trip so things like signal strength are identical, use BetterBatteryStats (and the relevant thread if you get stuck analysing what you find) to find other things which might have been causing additional drain.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thracemerin:
The fuel gauge chip in the I9100 is notorious for doing strange things, especially when you flash a new ROM or kernel, you need to let it settle down for a day or two to get completely accurate stats again. Also, clearing battery stats doesn't really do much, to get an accurate reset on the stats try letting it die completely (until pressing the power button gives you no response at all) then charge it overnight with the power off, that should give the fuel gauge new reference points for 0 and 100 which should help, otherwise any of the other suggestions in this thread may be the issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spooky_:
On my Nexus S with ICS 4.0.3 I noticed a behaviour which I find a little bit annoying and useless. When I have headphones plugged in, the output for Music & Games etc. goes through them, as expected. However, Ringtones & Notifications, as well as Alarms, still go through the speaker. So when you listen to Music in the Subway, or wherever, and someone calls you, the Music will suddenly be muted via the headphones and then the phone rings through the speaker on the back, instead of your headphones.

I asked a bit around and found out, that it was always this way in Stock Android. At first I thought there may be a problem with my phone, since I didn't have this behaviour on my old HTC Wildfire. But apparently HTC deliberately changed/fixed this behaviour in HTC Sense.

Is there any way to fix this, without switching to another ROM completely (I hear CM fixed this as well for instance, but MIUI does not)? I'd like to stay at the Stock ROM for now, may be with some additional changes/extensions installed through ClockWorkMod.

This happens as well on my skyrocket and t989, is there any fix?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmouse81:
Hi all

I am currently in the planning stages of developing a root security system for Android.

As everyone knows, there are security implications to rooting your phone etc. Untill now, I have used the normal means of controlling this (lock security, disabling ADB, Superuser.apk whitelist), but this is of limitted help if someone physically gets hold of your phone (while unlocked or ADB enabled).

There are a few things I would like to implement, and would like to gather some feedback on whether;

a) It will be of use to anyone but me, and

b) If anyone has any input as to the feasability (or has done any such work in the past)?

There are 3 areas I would like to lock down, somehow. It will not perfect the security, but will go a long way toward improving the overall security on rooted devices. I have not done much reasearch as yet, so some of this may be impossible. These are:

1) CWM recovery: Currently, CWM (and other recovery/pre-android resources) can be used to bypass almost anything you put in place to secure your phone. I would like to implement a password/passcode on CWM to lock out unauthorised changes. My personal preference would be to store this in /data somewhere it would be removed on wipe, and leave the option to wipe without passcode (so you don't end up with a brick if you forget the password), but lock out all security-sensitive operations like flashing. That way, someone could get to recovery, but would have to wipe data to be able to do anything usefull without authorisation.

2) ADB: Currently, even if your phone is locked you can get access to everything through ADB. The only way I currently see to do anything about this is to disable ADB when you are not using it, but this is irritating when you use it as much as I do. What I would like to do instead is either force a popup from Superuser.apk to grant root every time you connect, or implement a password which must be entered on connection. Both could be problematic, but I think forcing a confirmation (or even a check if the dev is unlocked) would be most useable, but my knowledge is limitted here. It may be that neither method is practical and disabling ADB is the only practical solution.

3) Superuser.apk: Everyone knows they should have security set up on their phones and not leave it lying around unlocked, but some don't like the hassle and most will occasionally forget to lock it. I would therefore like to implement securoty on Superuser.apk to stop (at least) new apps from aquiring root. This is the least important IMHO, but would be a further step towards improving security.

So, what does everyone think?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmouse81:
Sorry. I posted in Dev because this is the beginning stages of some development I plan to do, but fair enough.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoochieCoo:
I can only really answer the first question... I would be interested in something like this. I've actually taken an interest in mobile security recently, but I've constrained myself to existing products like avast and PDroid to give me some extra protection. When it comes to hardening these other components... I don't know enough about stuff at that level. But I would dig it.

Things like avast handle some things, like disabling debug if you remotely lock it. But it wouldn't solve things like securing CWM if the person simply reboots into recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrotherG:
How do you disable ADB now?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caspertone2003:
please, do it!

drmouse81

As a poor ex-owner of a lost Samsung Galaxy Ace, I would love to have a password protected CWM recovery ... this would have propably saved my device (an have back my loved photos!)

My device was operator-locked, SIM was pin protected, screen was locked by pattern ... I rang to my lost mobile, taxi driver answered ... spoke with him ... asked him to return my phone I was offering rewarding. He laughted a lot!

Yes, there are apps to locate your terminal, ring loud, etc. But none solves the basic problem of someone that wipes the phone, puts a new bootloader, etc.

Most people do not knkow that IMEI blocking only works in home country of the SIM operator.

On the other hand, there were a lot of past discussions on this topic, but many people seem not to see this as feasible.

If you find a way to solve this, I am sure you will do a lot of money with companies, who are looking for a real solution to information loss on mobile devices.

Requirements: phone should be not functional. thieves would be able to use them only for spares ...

a) require password to make changes to bootloader / wipe (that is, recovery is also blocked)

b) encryption of user data (even in SD)

c) allow to swipe a new SIM, provide pin of the SIM, then block the phone but send SMS with new number and location. Show on screen customizable message (such as -- this phone is property of xxx and has been lost/stolen -- please contact owner at xxx or hand it to police --- )

Is this possible? Why previous discussions shut off this topics?

Best luck - would love to be guinea pig for this ...

CTone.

Hi

I stopped posting here for a couple of reasons, the main one being I have been too busy. I'm still planning to take this on, but it may be a while.

The other problem is that, although it will help, it will not secure the device completely. There will always be ways around it. Manufacturer supplied tools will still bypass it.

As for your phone, did you contact the police? Knowing the taxi driver answered, they should have been able to get it back, or at least prosecute they b#####d!

Hello all,

I have been a member here for a while and i have tried out a few custom rom's on my desire hd, my question is....

I have an android tablet that is Gingerbread, has anyone developed an installable verion of the sense ui? i know its not to everyone's liking but it works well for how i use my phone with work etc

I have done a search and i didnt find much other than launcher pro look a likes etc and as my tablet is the same 800 x 480 resolution i wondered if it was possible?

Any help would be appreciated, or just tell me to bugger off lol!

Thanks in advance

(p.s i cannot root the device as skygo will not work on it)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansharpy:
As sense is built into so many parts of android (including some parts which are completely replaced by sense) i dont think this is possible. Its definately impossible without root.

Your best bet is finding a launcher you like and then finding apps to do the things you like sense doing. (e.g. syncmypix can sync facebook pics with contacts like sense does)

Hope that helps!

Howdi Guys,

I once saw a list for bloat-ware that can be removed but I cant find it :(

Anybody have an idea where I can find it?

Tried searching the forums but it searches for individual words which brings up all the list of ROMS due to them having the tag "No Bloatware" in the descriptions :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
This is what I use:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...SENVeXlqUm5vV0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fkofilee:
granted i thought about using the spreadsheet, but it was just "Freezing" apps... which some minor elements of the frozen apps still remain active within the OS...

if i remove based upon the frozen spreadsheet, i would suppose iwould require a reflash because i would have essentially broken my GNote :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
You wouldn't break your Note even if you removed all the appks marked green here.

To support my claim, take a look at the list of apps removed from Cassie's XtraLite Rom:

And it works like a charm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fkofilee:
Even i know that you cant "Break" your galaxy note by uninstalling all the apps lol...

only by flashing incompatible software, kernals or OC and frying the processor etc,

Point i meant was it would be unusable & unstable due to the amount of FC

Where can I see what modem my phone is running. I've flashed multiple modems, but because all my cwm attempts have aborted I've used mobile odin. I have no problem with this, just not sure where to see the modem version so I can confirm it's actually there.

I have no problems seeing my rom/kernel versions, just modem.

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Go into settings then about phone and it will be under baseband version. if you updated your modem be sure to also click system updates and update your profile and prl too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jnhelman:
Well that's not good. Still says EK02. I've flashed (or apparently only attempted to flash) EL29 & every one of the FBs & now FC05, both through cwm (always aborts installation, emmc error?) & odin (I thought it was working).

Any thoughts or ideas on what I may be missing or how to fix? (And I have flashed multiple roms/kernels without issues, unless I do something stupid lol)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Make sure to wipe cache and delvik cache mang if that still doesn't work then update it through odin with the modem .tars and the should work fine for you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jnhelman:
I was afraid you might say that. Odin doesn't like my phone for some reason. Connects when not in download mode, but refuses to recognize in download mode. I can flash the tar in mobile odin but still not taking. I've reinstalled odin a couple of times, reinstalled the drivers repeatedly, different cables, different USB ports, etc. May have to get Sprint to swap it.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
Don't worry bro you'll get it, Odin is picky so be sure to uninstall and reinstall drivers then try again or try a different kernel (depending on if your on a gb or ics rom)

and, I assume you have downloaded it more than once, to your computer, NOT to the phone, and then transferred it to the phone to flash?
