Did you download the Dropbox files that EMSpilot posted? If so follow these directions:

1) Download those files to the root of your sdcard

2) Locate the PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg files in the /system/media/audio/ui folder

3) Either rename them to SilentOn.ogg and SilentOff.ogg or delete them

4) Then move EMSpilot's PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg files from root of sdcard to /system/media/audio/ui folder

Might need to reboot for changes to take effect. Not sure about that.

Did I miss the fact that Google search is not

installed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
that is part of your selection in the process during the install (in Aroma)...if you picked google now, best to leave plain old search out of the conversation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamsavedme30:
Ok
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lowetax:
if you install Google Now, with it open, you can go into settings and turn it off,

then you have google search, which works well

and can turn google now back on anytime, in settings, turn on.

Maybe I'm the only one having this problem with 0.1.0: my volume rocker is not acting properly. When I try to turn the phone volume all the way down (or to vibrate), it stops part way & I have to use the toggle to set it to vibrate it even silent. I've never had to use this before, & have restored my 0.0.9.1 Nandroid because of it. I didn't install any of the Aroma hacks, either.

These features are just creepy. It feels like CarrierIQ. Thanks for pointing them out so I know to avoid installing.

I on the other hand view those as ways to enhance support. What better way to get a issue resolved other then a message directly from the developer.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Friend, you are needlessly freaking out. So it gives statistics on how many people are running his ROM, and he can send direct messages. It does not give the developer access to any information on your phone. Don't miss out on this solid ROM just because you are paranoid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Problem with CarrierIQ was no one had any idea what they were doing as it was completely hidden.

On a side note, all this is done through the UpdateMe app. If you don't like it, then uninstall it, or better yet, remove the apk from the ROM zip before you flash it.

It's not like Clark is pilliging your bank data from your phone. With all the bogus permissions tons of apps ask for, I think the last thing you need to be worried about is a dev on XDA. However, if he wanted, I'm sure he could dump his own apk file in there somewhere and get whatever he wanted...so could any other dev.

I also did not upgrade not trying to be a douche, I donated twice to Clark already. But I don't care what anyone says whether Clark44 has zero bad intentions this still opens up a security hole on your rom. Just my 2 cents.

If your running nova(prime) go in settings >gestures and assign whatever you want to double tap

Im running TW...Additionally it looks like the weather widget is gone..no biggie there. Wasnt it powered by accuweather
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
LOL It only gives me the option to send like an SOS to anyone who has the ROM on the phone. I get 0 information except a number that gives a count of installations. That's all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
So how many installs so far. I'm going to guess 2000.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moguledyouth:
The only way to change this back to stock (double tap home to bring up S Voice) using the stock launcher is that you have to REMOVE Google Now completely. Best scenario is wipe, fresh install select NO to the home button hack, make sure Google Now is NOT selected from the list of softwares and that Samsung Apps is selected I believe. Then you should have the Stock functionality back. It will not work with Google Now installed in any capacity from what I've tested and learned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fresh_TD:
Yea I noticed the same thing about weather widget when I first booted up... It should be in your widgets?? I use fancy widget.. No need for the accu

If you really think about it... any rooting(android) or jailbreaking(iphone), etc is vulnerable for any type of security hole. Just stay stock if you're worried about a security hole #justsayin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
You are hear of CM Stats? Yeah. This is like 1% of it. It in no way opens a security hole.

There's a Uid in the update_me.xml file that says "FreeGS3" and when you open the UpdateMe app it checks for that line and adds a 1 to the number of installs for a developer on a Site that reports number of installs!!!

Guys stop being so paranoid lol. It doesn't do anything. It's beneficial to me so I can push update checks whenever I want. So if i have an update coming everyone gets it at the same time.

I have never followed/run a ROM that put so much emphasis on donations. I have donated, and donations are great, but all this solicitation is making me uncomfortable.

Update me

I only have 4 options on the main page of update me....rom, installed apps, script. setting.......is this normal. My understanding was when you purcahsed the donate version you would get more options, but I'm clearly not getting anything. Is there a fix for this or should request a refund?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
All of those who are in 'fear' of this mighty messaging system that Clark has put into the ROM might as well uninstall ANY app you have.

Any apk that has the ability to access the internet can in fact read from a developers site, and display that message to the user.

In fact.. MOST Apps you use have that very feature!! GMail does it, All RSS Feeds do so, and most games that have a 'news' section does the same thing.

The only difference here is we are all assuming that the message will come in the form of a Notification (which I'm fine if it does). And if so, that's no different than google play telling you that you have new apps to install, or any one of dozens of games that alert you to specials promotion weekends, or even Groupon which tells you the newest special in your area. And if it's only once you open the UpdateMe app, that's no different than Titanium Backup's "Changelog" or any other app which shows you a 'message' once you open it up.

I'm frankly surprised that everyone's jumping all up in arms.

This is TOTALLY different than CarrierIQ. CarrierIQ sent data back to the mothership about your usage, applications you've installed, hardware and software versions, etc...

Being able to send a message, via notification or "Changelog" is nothing new. It's nothing harmful and certainly nothing to 'not install' the ROM over.

As for the count of installs.. that's a bit different but still no issue. He could count the unique Device IDs of each device that 'phones home' , which EVERY game with in-app purchasing already does. Or any other system which records 'log ins', such as FaceBook, Your BANK!, or even Google Mail. Since you're not logging into the UpdateMe, he simply tracks how many times it's opened. Big deal.

I've only used this ROM for 2 days, trying it for fun as I waited for a Blazer ROM to be updated, and I'm not sure now that I'm going back... this ROM has all the customizations I was doing by hand (Except removing the power shortcuts entirely), and has none of the issues I've seen on other ROMs. You've got a developer who is not only active, but PROactive, he's willing to send messages when he discovers a major issue or update. OMG!! How dare he make things easier for people.

Sheesh

Cool. Appreciate the quick response. I'll just keep checking back.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdusen:
Actually, it's exactly the same as Carrier IQ. They also published what they were tracking (After they were caught) but still no one wanted it installed.

It's very true that any ROM could have these things. Any stock rom could, and has, as well. But if it's not questioned then it's just assumed to be OK and privacy just gets whittled away.

I just don't like systems that track what I do and avoid them as much as I can. It's not always possible, but I can try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] worldwidepmp:
I got the message. Lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
LOL man its your loss really. If you can give me a logcat that shows my ROM tracking this system I will more than happily remove this ROM from the face of the Earth. It does not take any user information. It doesn't even have the proper permissions for that. Now please stop spamming the thread and move along. I've tried to explain it already and even posted screenshots of the screen where I log in to see the number of installs. If you want to think this is carrier IQ than go ahead but please don't plant false conspiracies in this thread. Trust me if this tracked information XDA would have put it down 10 hours before I even posted it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Try clearing data for the app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a2tz:
I don't know Clark or even love the idea of getting push messages (I like as much battery as I can and less stuff running) but I don't think he would fully disclose what he is doing if he was trying to hide something. AND you can just uninstall the app if you don't want it. Clark, thanks for the Rom man it's working great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Nope.. try again. CarrierIQ had two distinct problems:

1) They hid the fact that the app/code existed, and then denied it when found.

Clark does none of this... was very upfront.

2) What CarrierIQ was tracking was questionable. It tracked a LOT of information, some of which could be considered 'personally identifiable'. It tracked which apps you had installed (or rather whether you had specific ones installed anyway), it tracked your settings, your usage patters (wake times, screen times etc..) your cell tower location information (which towers you connect to etc..) and combined that with your devices unique identifier. It then had the ability (though they claim it never did) to send that all back to the mothership so they could 'troubleshoot'. That's a LOT of specific data that can be used for all sorts of purposes.

The biggest issue much of the hacking/dev community had was the fact that while none of that info was directly usable, they could use the information in it to then hack your device. For example... they sent back that you run version XYZ of gmail or something, and have settings A, B and C set a certain way. Knowing that you could use an exploit to target that version of Gmail and hack your phone. No where did CarrierIQ provide the hack entrance, but it provided enough information to give hackers a place to start. (Note: Gmail was just a hypothetical example, that never actually occured)

Clarks app does none of that (at least that we know of :silly: ).

However... Clark... you do have an issue with the messaging. I just got one for the server issue.. that showed up in my notifications that said "UpdateMe - Server has Cr" before it got chopped off. I clicked on it thinking I'd see the full text.. and instead it opens up UpdateMe.. which of course doesn't work at the moment :) hehe.. A for Effort though!

Perhaps clicking the notification for a message opens a text box popup with the full text instead of the main app's window?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
