[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dabl8:
Apart from the encryption it gives to stuff you upload to the cloud, it protects anything sensitive that could be accessed if the phone is stolen. The big problem with having a rooted phone is that the phone is an open book for a thief with a USB cable that knows what recovery is. Android has full device encryption now, but I don't know if we will ever get a custom recovery that will work with that. I use an encfs'd textfile-based wiki (wikiandpad ) for my notes which I leave mounted while the phone is on and which obviously gets unmounted if the phone has to reboot, thus leaving it inaccessible from recovery. For the moment I don't see a better way, as any encrypted note taking apps are too inflexible for my liking. Another way might be a locked down recovery. So long as I can keep anybody from knowing my security pattern and I remember to keep adb off my notes are secure. The remaining problem is that any app with access to sdcard_rw and internet permissions can read my mounted encfs, so I would like to be able to mount the encfs on a different partition. But I think Google will come up with a fix for this soon.

I agree. However, what's the next best thing at the moment since Whisper got bought out and everything from Guardian FC's? I'm looking for something convienient (quick) but has to be OpenSource...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dabl8:
Notecipher is a good idea but is not very good. Keepassdroid is a password store that could be pressed into service as a note taker. There is an app called mininoteviewer which is a port of Tombo and does quick encryption of individual notes.I would use Ghost Commander as root to edit your notes within /data, zip (within GC) or tar them up now and then (tar cf destination source, in th terminal or GC) and drop them in your cryptonite volume. Then share the encrypted version to Ubuntu One, which of course gets uploaded to your Ubuntu One Pictures directory. Email will work too. If you have sensitive notes it is not a good idea to have them on a fat32 sdcard.

Hi,

I have posted the Fuse kernel module for Sony Xperia Arc/Ray & others Xperia 2011 series...

It allow cryptonite to works on every ICS 4.0x ROMs (including stock)

I can't certify it will works on others models but u can try... if it doesn't works, module will refuse to load... So, there is no risk.

I'm using dropsync for this with a one-way download from cloud to sdcard. It can be setup to do a full 2-way mirror if you are intending to edit files on-the-go.

Yes, I have root and presume that is necessary for mounting the encrypted volume.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

I sync my Keepassdroid db to cloud storage where it is encrypted with encFS.

Boxcryptor gets me access to it by handling the decryption seamlessly.

Both tools are available on Ubuntu (Cryptkeeper instead of Boxcryptor), Windows and Android so I've got access to all my passwords everywhere I go.

The really nice part is I have made all of the passwords long and complex, I don't even know them, only my keepass db and also email account which can be used to reset the accounts if something goes horribly wrong. And I augment security on that with the Google Authenticator tool that I have on both phone and tablet.

I'm very happy with the setup now and recommend it.:good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me why stock roms never use battery icons with percentage. Is it because showing the individual percentages, rather than just four or five different fractions of battery, consumes more battery?

And I don't just mean Samsung roms, but all others as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
Firstly, it drains battery a little more, looks ugly, isn't a accurate indication of how long the battery will last (battery drains faster (upper 50%) and slower when <50%). (noticed how batter icon on stock roms displays half when battery is 40%)?

Secondly, Battery level is measured by how much how much voltage the battery provides. So if a CPU intensive app kicks in, percentage will lower itself by i.e. 20% and go back up once the app is killed.

Thirdly, will concern user too much and don't know when to either charge the phone (depending on usage) and ones who doesn't have a knowledge of physics to understand that "(battery drains faster (upper 50%) and slower when <50%)"

Fourthly, isn't as user friendly has a regular icon

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ceez38:
I just successfully upgraded my US LG Thrill 4G to the European Gingerbread by following adixtra's instructions on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287236 (thank you adixtra!). I ran into a few issues that I was able to resolve and wanted to share here, hoping to help others not to kill themselves on this process. :)

So I went through the exact steps in adixtra's instructions. Make sure you do install the http://smallsrv.com from unknown_world's thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1473781 to prevent the LG Tool from calling home. I didn't do this at my first try and wasted a lot of time.

BEFORE YOU PERFORM ANY CHANGES ON YOUR PHONE

Make sure you backup your data because you will probably have to do a system data wipe after the upgrade. I have been using Titanium Backup, Super Backup, and APN Backup & Restore for a while and I'm very happy with all of them. The Titanium Backup offers batch options for automation and many other useful features.

[Optional] You can write down the information under "Settings/About phone" so you can compare after the upgrade. One of the things you'll notice is that your phone will be identified as P920 instead of P925. No biggie.

Remember that the upgrade will remove root and Clockworkmode from your phone, so make sure you have the recovery.img file handy and that you can access the flash card from your computer. Refer to this thread for the recovery image: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257588.

So, after I followed all steps to the letter to upgrade my LG Thrill, the phone did a reboot, and it got stuck in the boot logo. I could not get into the recovery mode no matter what I did. So I turned it off, removed the flash card and placed it into my computer, created a folder called "data" and placed the recovery.img inside that folder. Then I was able to get into recovery mode and delete my data. Here are some good and simple steps: http://www.hard-reset.com/lg-thrill-4g-android-hard-reset.html. That's what I did.

So all your data is gone now :eek: but you have your backups! :o

After wiping the data you will be relieved when you see your phone come to life again with a newer and more robust OS (FINALLY!).

All you have to do now is install your backup apps and restore your data. With Titanium Backup I restored all missing apps and their data. Restored my contacts, messages, and call log using Super Backup, and restored my APN settings using APN Backup & Restore. And of course, re-design your layout the way you want it. Just like getting a new phone!

So far I have not had any issues. All features are working, including the new ones. Even the display graphics look better! :)

Oh, and to root your phone back again just use the Super One Click app. Simple instructions here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-lg-thrill-4g-with-super-one-click-app-guide/.

Best of luck! :cool:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] martieb:
Yes, they come with a screen protector preinstalled:) No need to take it of.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] church473:
Should that scratch easily? I have had the phone less than a day and all I did was pull it out of my pocket and I have a couple scratches now. They don't seem to be coming off. Don't know why but it although it looks like its a protector it doesn't feel like one. I wonder if anyone has actually removed it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] farvin:
I removed the pre installed protector on my x10 and Arc, I think it's the same thing. I just applied a new protetor directly on the glass.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 3Shirts:
I found the pre-installed protector made the screen feel very 'sticky' to touch and also attracted dust, dog hair etc like a magnet! Much better without it

Bought an Xperia S in Italy yesterday, and yes, there is one screen protector in the box, one on the display glass and one (with printed demo graphics on it, so it have to be removed) on top of the one installed on the display...

Great !

I saw it just in time, my girfriend was already managing how to stick the protector found in the box :P

In the end I decided to remove the screen protector, the softkeys work every time now!

I don't see why I should slide my finger up from the transparent strip when there are keys made to be pressed..

I might put on the other screen protector that was in the box, cutting the bottom part so it doesn't cover the softkeys ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] necrohiero:
Mm.. How did you all remove it safely? I am honestly a little bit afraid... Where I should start to pick it off?

I never have to remove one by myself before...

Start at any of the corners and use your nails, or the plastic bubble remover from the other screen protector, it takes a while as it's really stuck on well!

Silly me!! I got a protector over the pre-installed one, double protection, that's why it feels so strange.

Just to let you know almost any sony has one altough you cant see it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonstatt:
They DO!

The official Sony line, is that the scratch proof screen is covered in a non-scratch proof anti-shatter laminate sheet. This is NOT the top layer intended. You are then supposed to put a screen protector over this laminate sheet. One is included in the box bit it is an absolute b*tch to put on without air bubbles. The laminate sheet is glued down. It will come off but it will leave a residue that is not easy to get off. A second layer screen protector just bonds through natural adhesion rather than a glue.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RiotRick:
Sony employees on the sony mobile forums told another story. Also an extra screen protector is not included in the box in every country. For example the box in.the Netherlands doesn't have one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] awf:
Exactly :-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonstatt:
The link above to the Sony mobile forums says the same story as Sony UK said and I have just repeated. I think there is some confusion here but I am not sure exactly how it is being interpreted. Just because the extra protector is not included in the box doesn't mean its not recommended....just they were not so generous in that country! :)

The extra screen protector is a different shape to the laminate sheet already on the phone.

Personally I think its stupid to have two layers. It will reduce further the touchscreen responsiveness. The real issue is that Sony didn't use Gorilla glass. This meant they needed to put a laminate sheet over their own glass. If they had chosen a glass like Gorilla which is already suitably treated not to shatter, then this mess and confusion wouldn't arise.

I have Always used the extra protector on the laminated sheet both on the x10 and Arc and still find the screen response well.

I took mine off to replace it with a Nilkin screen protector that I got with my case also because 2 screen protectors is quite weird.

Eventually failed putting on that screen protector, if it doesn't work the first time you're stuck with a screen protector full of dust on the adhesive side.. Deciding to leave it like this, the glass feels very good when navigating, no more vacuum cleaning my pockets because the preinstalled protector is a dust magnet and better screen quality (in theory).

I assume no scratches will appear when you just put it inside your pocket without anything inside of it.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xadious:
For those who took the shatterproof screen off, does the plastic itself feel much different to a normal screen protector? Is it thicker, stronger, less flexible?

It looks like any other screen protector to me (haven't taken it off yet), so not sure how it's supposed to prevent the screen from shattering. Although, i've never had a phone screen shatter.

Is Sony the only company that puts on a sheet on like this? Wonder whether they're being generous or whether they do this because their screens are weak because they're making them thinner? :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nvidia17:
I took mine off, used only the glass for a few days. I actually wanted to keep it that way. My XS was a dust magnet before taking off the shatter proof sheet, the glass also feels a lot smoother and less sticky when navigating. But then my Nilkin case arrived, I put on the free screen protector included and I must say it feels pretty damn smooth.

Do have 2 annoying bubbles with a little bit of dust under them, which is mostly my fault. I ordered the Brando ultra clear screen protector because it's impossible to get these annoying bubbles away.

The Nilkin one which you get for free is way better than the original though, no more vacuum cleaning my pocket before i put my phone in. The default one is horrible if you don't like your phone all dusty, the only way for me to use it with the default one is to use a pull up pouch or something similar
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xadious:
Does the "shatterproof" protector that was originally on the XPS look like an ordinary screen protector once you took it off? (as in flexibility and thickness). Just curious as i'm curious as to why they call it shatterproof when it sounds like any other plastic screen protector, only worse in that it is a dust magnet (keep having to wipe mine).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bustervic:
It's about the same as the Nillkin protectors, but it looks like they adhered it to the screen with a very sticky, dry resin.

The amount of dust it attracts, as well as how easily it scratches however is just silly. They should either forgo it, or supply you with a protector out of the box.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nvidia17:
Correct, you get the same quality as you get with the Nilkin screen protector. It's really not a quality amazingly thin screen protector, just a regular screen protector that is really hard to pull of and attracts dust like a magnet.

I suggest getting it off and putting a new screen protector on it if you don't like dust. You shouldn't worry about the glass being exposed, it's really hard to scratch, just make sure you don't wait too long putting another protector on it. Nothing is really scratch proof.

I wouldn't recommend anti glare matte screen protectors on this phone, messes up the quality. Ultra clear protectors are defo the way to go
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] avexdevil:
i'm not too fussed with the stock screen protector, but i did notice a couple hairline scratches, i'm just worried this dry resin adhesive might be too difficult to remove or leave stubborn residue if i left it on for too long...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RanMN:
What if we put the extra protector and then decide to remove it off?will the original one come off along with it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] frickinlandez:
Superstar, that's ace and works spot on! I'd noticed, and was getting a bit annoyed, with the non-responsiveness of the 'buttons' but that's much better.

Plus, leaving the screen protector intact means I can give it a freshen up in a few months time when it inevitably starts to get a little tatty :)

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

Ah, no, the thin one loose in the box didn't go anywhere near pulling off the already fitted one.

I was quite pleased to see Sony include an extra protector, but with the ready-fitted one attracting dust like mad I gave up with the optional one, managed to get finger prints all over it and chucked it away! I'll live with the thick one and deal with the dust I reckon!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xasmo:
usually it should stay, because it is mounted very well. additional protectors mostly don't have such a strong adhesive glue. so just go on!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bustervic:
For anyone considering replacing the stock screen protector.... DO IT!!

Even the basic Nillkin one that I got with the case is 10000 times better.

Less fingerprints, no dust, and feels much nicer. And no scratches.
