[General Questions and Answers] Hagar76:
I must have installed something that included an 'advertise to you' clause. How do I find out what it is so I can get rid of it. Pisses me OFF!

I get a message every day along with a star in the top bar till I clear it, telling me I have won an iPad. AAARRRGGGGG!
[General Questions and Answers] The-Captain:
Wow, that would be annoying, did you try adfree?
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You've installed something that's doing that. I had something similar myself but was lucky enough to identify the culprit (it was an MP3 downloader).

You can either post your complete app list here and hope someone recognises the app that's causing it, or you can factory reset and rebuild your phone app-by-app.

Another idea would be to round up any suspect apps (one's not installed from the market or ones that do "naughty things") and freeze them with Titanium Backup. If the problem goes away then you know you've narrowed it down.
[General Questions and Answers] Hagar76:
Got rid of it.

Read another similar post that suggested it was Air Push. Downloaded Air Push Detector and it identified Mechanical gear live wall paper. Uninstalled it so its gone now. Shame cos I liked the wall paper.

I thought though that it would allow me to keep it but disable the spam.

Speaking of, I'm really concerned about some of the permissions that may invade my privacy. For example, I wonder if an app that requires access to my contact list is just accessing it to provide the service it is designed for or if it is sending that info back to the designer or marketing companies for the purposes of information gathering or further advertising.

Is there any way I can block these permissions on a grand scale without individually setting them with 'Permissions' app, which of course only works on a rooted unit. My TAB is rooted but my SGS2 is not and won't be till its out of warranty.
[General Questions and Answers] Hagar76:
As an example:

An app called Wi-Fi Finder has a permission to 'directly call phone numbers'. I mean WTF. Firstly why does it need this permission and secondly WTF?

What possible reason could this app have to do this and who would it call and whats the privacy repurcussions for me?
[General Questions and Answers] Hagar76:
Seems that requies the phone to be rooted :(
[General Questions and Answers] xadet:
Addons Detector should find the culprit.
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You're not going to be able to handle permissions at all if you're not rooted. The only apps I've seen for handling permissions do it on an app-by-app basis. I've not heard of anything that do it at a system-wide level. Obviously doing it at the system level would cause problems for the times when apps do legitimately need permissions you've blocked, but you're the user - that's your choice.

Maybe it's time to learn to dev ;)
[General Questions and Answers] TheArtist8:
There are a few apps in the market that you can get to block these. I've still noticed the odd spam msg will get through though.
[General Questions and Answers] flaheat88:
I downloaded a zombie game (cant remember which one) and i started getting the same spam messages frequently.. Just look back to any games you previously downloaded right before this started happening and delete it

[General Questions and Answers] Hagar76:
I think I used Air Push detector to detectit was a Gear Live wall paper I had insalled over the weekend. I just didn't put 2 and 2 together. Couldn't just disable the spam. Had to remove the app :/ Pity. I liked it.
[General Questions and Answers] MetalGFX:
Go Keyboard

I found out who is using the Green Smiley Face ad notification on the progress bar. Its from Go Dev Team. They have an app for keyboards. Go Keyboards. If you have it, then that's the ass app.

Sucks cause I like their work but hates ads enough to delete it. I sent them a long message about killing it for me and will warn who is pushing ads.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frikou:
Hi there, I don't have much experience on Android devices, but if I were you, I would re-install the rom and make sure I did everything ok; if the problem persist I would search online to see if it's some rom bug or something.

If that didn't happen with the stock rom, I would think it's got something to do with the custom rom.

[HTC Wildfire S] goodguy25:
How can you tell the difference? Sorry for being a noob.

EDIT - Noob not noon
[HTC Wildfire S] bobdamnit:
By carrier. Virgin Mobile, MetroPCS, and US Cellular are all CDMA phones.

Another way to tell is to turn off your phone and pull the battery. Replace the battery and hold Volume Down and Power until you boot into "hboot". At the top, it should say in the second or third line that it is "MARVEL", "MARVELC", or "MARVELCT".

Marvel=GSM

Marvelc=CDMA

Marvelct=China's CDMA

Although, from your XDA app signature, I can already tell that you have a GSM phone. (A510e)
[HTC Wildfire S] chicle_11:
Also, sim card = gsm, no sim card = CDMA
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
In addition, in the US, T-Mobile is the GSM carrier

Also, the GSM was released earlier, therefore there are more ROMs for the GSM variant (Marvel, A510a/e). The CDMA WFS (Marvelc/ct, A510c) was released later (Around Late October/Early November 2011). There are fewer ROMs and it has been slightly harder to develop for, from what I have noticed.

Also, the CDMA variant has S-OFF already. GSM does not yet have S-OFF, but the very talented developers are working on it in this thread: http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/1374926/
[HTC Wildfire S] striker280:
for unlocked gsm phones, you can just put in ay sim card and the phone will work

but for cdma, you have to activate it online or at the store or somewhere
[HTC Wildfire S] Wolf Pup:
Yes, you should go with what bobdamnit said. Also, what's a "noon"?

[HTC Wildfire S] goodguy25:
Eeesh, I was supposed to write 'noob'
[HTC Wildfire S] chicle_11:
My metropcs A510c came with s-on. I followed one of the tuts here to get it s-off.
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
I guess that wasn't written clearly. I meant that CDMA has S-OFF available already. As in the ability and tutorials existed.
[HTC Wildfire S] kinnector217:
I've cdma for Vm but I've S-ON and my new degitizer doesn't work
[HTC Wildfire S] compro01:
Technically the CDMA2000 standard does include SIM cards (called CSIMs), but they're an optional part of the spec and aren't used by any north american carrier that I know of.
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
Deleted
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
Cdma is quite bigger than the GSM
[HTC Wildfire S] compro01:
Not really. CDMAone/CDMA2000 only ever really took off in North America, for a few reasons, notably that SIMless CDMA makes for really easy lock-in and also CDMA is cheaper to deploy in rural areas due to the no limit on physical cell size (previously, a GSM cell had a maximum radius of 35km, imposed by its used of TDMA.), resulting in the need for fewer towers.

Globally, CDMAone/CDMA2000 make up less than 10% of the market.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bort76:
I'm currently running CM7.2 and I was a bit confused by the Incredikernel thread here:

[KERNEL] Incredikernel (Chad+Tiny) - 03/21/2012 - GB+ICS (non-HWA)

It says that the GB+ICS kernels don't have HWA. Does that mean that the older GB-only kernels do have hardware acceleration? In that case would it be better to stick with the Incredikernel from 11/27/2011?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Hardware Acceleration only applies to ICS, none of the Incredikernels have HWA. That is mentioned because HWA is an important feature of ICS for things like Google Chrome beta. Your experience with Incredikernel will not be impacted on GB, the same cannot be said if you were using an ICS rom.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranks1989:
Yes you can do that by flashing from the correct recoveries(Stable or latest) .. The only thing you need to take care is that both the ROM should have same kernel and apart from that possibilities are almost endless! :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankimm:
Check if there is enough space to install it.

If you are trying to install from play store and it says its not compatible with your device then you may not be able to play it.

Either wait for EA to make it compatible with ICS or downgrade to Gingerbread!

i just purchased the t-499 myself and its a shame that such a new/great phone has so little support, ive looked all over google and only gotten mixed answers and dead end threads. icant even figure out if galaxy mini roms are cross compatible to the dart or not. its actually a good phone with a decent screen if u change the lcd_density to 100 the resolution is pretty decent.

if someone can help me a little it would be greatly appreciated, atleast point me in the right direction.

Not sure where else to post this, but can someone tell me if I can use a bootanimation.zip on the Samsung Dart?

I'd just like to know for sure so I don't drive myself crazy and waste more time! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] huggs:
On he stock Dart rom, no.

Samsung apparently uses some weird proprietary bootanimation format.

I am running the CM7 port in my sig from the MadTeam Forums and it of course uses bootanimation.zip's and I even have enabled boot sounds on it.

It's a good rom, couple of really minor bugs like button lights don't work and slow to wake on incoming calls, but overall quite stable.

[General Questions and Answers] Phil Muir:
Hi all!

Am interested to know if it’s possible to install a ROM by using a PC without using Clockwork mod E.G. using command prompt or, something similar. Did checkout the thread on fastboot however, that didn't tell me anything conclusive. Am comfortable using tools such as fastboot but, suspect if this is possible, there could be a bit more to it than that. In theory I think it is because manufacturers push updates to phones using software through USB. I want to do this because the Clockwork Mod utility is totally inaccessible for me as I am totally blind. Would have thought it may be possible as I can flash boot.img files using command prompt. All help on this is appreciated!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SnowPluralism:
you posted on the wrong section but ... never mind!

Anyway ...

1st - Download Odin 4.38

2nd - Download Cooper.ops

-------Both files are attached in the rar file below------------

3rd - Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and search firmware for your s5830

Then choose the rom that suits you best

After the above steps are done open odin

At "option" select - "One Package, Auto-Reboot And Protect OPS"

At "select OPS" - choose "Cooper.ops" (The file you´ve downloaded)

At bottom is "One Package" - In here put the file of the room you´ve dowloaded

Finaly put phone in download mode (Vol. Down + Power Button) and connect it to your PC.

Wait for odin to recognize your phone, a yellow sign will light up, ( you need samsung kies in your computer so odin recognize your phone)

And then hit "Start"

Wait about five minutes at the end your phone should reboot by itself

And that should be it

One more thing kies cannot be runing wile you are flashing! shutdown all odin processes before flashing!
