So yea as soon Sony releasing there update it will move up in Work In Progress I guess :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KeiranFTW:
FXP team will review the devices, they may not even choose to support them.

You have to bear in mind our phones use a new board, FXP team are a small team and also they have many devices to maintain.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bin4ry:
Devices will be supported in future, but STE is new for us, so it needs time before we reach WIP state ;)

For now we are "just" playing with them, when it gets serious we will let you know ;)

Good point here: All devices seems to be pretty similar, so we can create 1 big common tree, this will hold the most development.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BlazerJenzo:
Yes that's also what I thought :D

It's just the small things that are the difference :D
[About XDA developers] Chef_Tony:
I just saw, when opening a new thread, it states that I may add 25 tags to the thread, but when I tried and added 6 it gave me an error that it was 1 too many for the thread to be created.

That should be adjusted to either show 5, when only 5 are allowed, or actually accept 25, when it states so.

Interesting, we'll take a look at it.
[HTC One S] Skoogusmaximus:
No matter what I try, the ringtone keeps defaulting to silent mode. Whether using the volume rocker or through the settings menu, it may show a ringtone volume or vibrate for a second, but then it reverts back to silent mode. Same deal after restarting. Phone is unrooted. Any ideas how to fix it or whats going on?
[HTC One S] DroidRaptor:
Bump.

Having same problem. If I use shortcut switches or apps to change the ringer volume, I can't seem to get silent - I have to go into settings and switch it to vibrate from there. Then vibrate will work awhile but after some time I'll automatically switch to silent (the icon in the notification bar changes with this).

Pretty sure it can't be a hardware issue, since it does vibrate when I set it to. But I can't figure out why it keeps reverting to silent mode on its own.

Any ideas? It's a new One S, unrooted. Haven't messed with it in any way besides choosing to use a Launcher. And it's been annoying not being able to get notifications when I need the phone on silent.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Recommend sending it to your carrier or to HTC.

Sent from my locked, tampered ville
[HTC One S] kgry:
Do you have any sound schedulers running that would force it to silent at a certain time?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Yeah, like tasker, automate it etc.
[HTC One S] DroidRaptor:
Sent HTC an email asking about it over the weekend, they replied this morning and suggested I boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition.

Looks like it worked! I can now toggle volume/silent/vibrate using the volume rocker, or toggle apps, without having to go into settings - plus, it doesn't seem to automatically switch back to silent mode now.

I'll probably keep an eye on it for a day or two just to be sure, cos the time periods between reverting to silent mode weren't consistent - but it looks promising :)

Honestly dunno why I didn't think of trying a wipe in the first place :P

Anyway here are the instructions they sent:
[HTC One V] Chikari:
Hello,

I own a HTC One V that is t-mobile(germany)-branded.

I s-off'ed it using the official HTC procedure and then rooted it using this guide (theandroidsoul.com/root-one-v).

Ever since then, I am having connection problems, as in, no connection unless I reboot it. This especially occurs while talking on the phone,

but also at random. I then attempted to apply the RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_2.08.401.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.18_M_release_263376_signed.exe following tutorials

-> first, locking the bootloader, then flash the recovery, then apply the RUU - flashing the recovery worked, however, the RUU failed because the CID does not match. Changing to SuperCID does not seem to be possible at the moment.

Plus, ever since I flashed the RUU recovery, I can't change sounds anymore, so whenever I try to change alarms/ringtones/notification sounds, the personalizer oder settings application crashes.

In order to check if the connection issue is related to the rooting process (and if it isn't, to get it replaced by t-mobile) I need to revert to the stock t-mobile ROM, however, I can't find any.

Is there any other way to solve this dilemma or can you help me? :)
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Now just hold on a sec. You can't S-Off at the moment, as far as I know, and there is no HTC software for it. You just unlocked the bootloader, to give yourself some priviledges, but that is not S-Off, so you cannot change the CID of the phone (or debrand it).

Stock ROM for T-Mobile is not available at the moment (or at least for the public) Ask Football for it, but it will cost some EUR for you.

If the RUU sees anything wrong with the phone (including CID) it won't even start flashing the device, so it cannot do any harm for you. But since you unlocked BL I suggest to install custom firmware to see if anything is wrong with the hardware. Just be sure to do a nandroid backup before, so you can revert to the "stock" if possible.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spoiled.:
Hello,

I went back in the Q&A forum for a few weeks, but didn't find a similar question, so here I am.

I got my Kindle Fire and I want to install a custom Rom. I did read all the tutorials and have all the software ready, but I don't know which Rom I should install.

I was looking for a ICS Rom that has decent battery life and more or less good App support. What I found were the Simple ICS Rom and the GedeRom.

Is it true that the Simple Rom has more compatibility issues with Apps? Is there a noticeable difference in battery life between the "minimal" Simple, the GedeRom (and the stock kindle rom)?

I saw that now there are some recent JB Roms - are they already stable and efficient enough to "compete" with the ICS ones?

What would you recommend to me?

Thanks a lot
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
There's like 40 of these threads and they are all in General. Lol.

To answer your question, yes they are very stable.

You're going to get the best battery life with a CM7 rom.

[HTC Sensation] hjfkuiper:
Dear XDA users,

I am looking to find a really secure rom. I dont want to run OEM corrupted roms which do gods knows what. I have googled for a good bit and I have found some areas which are interesting from a security perspective. However, there does not seem to be a holy grail when it comes to a secure rom at the moment. Paranoid Rom sounded oh so promising but has no additional security related features. Cyanogenmod is a nice custom rom with root disabled by default, which is a great improvement and makes it interesting as a secured non-OEM rom. You also have the NSA developed SE Android rom which you need to compile yourself but comes with a great list of additional features.

Can anyone recommend me a rom which is build to be secure?

Also lets have a discussion on features which you would like to have in a secure rom:

Hidden-TrueCrypt partition on SD card.

Fully encrypted memory

Password protected recovery

Tor network enabler with apps for the various anon services on onion networks (such as torchat, onionmail, etc.)

Location scrambler

Strict firewall with easy enable/disable mode

Remote lock-down
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
First question. Why?! Are you a spy or something?! There's nothing wrong with standard ROMs. There are antitheft apps available that can remote wipe the entire device including SD card if its ever lost or stolen. I can't think of any reason why you need that level of security on your device.
[HTC Sensation] ungraph:
I believe a truecrypt partition can be mounted on the SDcard. As far as hiding it goes, I'm not sure.

As far as password protecting recovery, there's no tweak/hack for it. I understand the security concern with someone meddling with your phone and flashing a rom but it's called 'recovery' for a reason.

I believe tor is available for Android.

You can spoof your location with several apps. Wouldn't hurt to google it.

Cerberus can remotely lock-down your phone, retrieve contacts/call logs from a sim, etc...

Try compiling your own rom and cater it to your needs.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Whoa, why would you need that much security? I do suggest creation of your own Rom as mentioned this way all you're security needs can be met.
[HTC Sensation] hjfkuiper:
privacy

Thanks for all the replies. I am not a spy rather i just want to be secure. I just don't like the idea of my information being used for reasons i do not choice it to be used for. I don't want my carrier to see which websites i visit on my phone, which locations i visit, which people i contact. I just want my carrier to provide me access to the net and ensure that i am available for calls.

Currently i run ARHD with the following options/apps:

sim card password protected (3 login chances)

memory and SD card password protected (8 login chances)

TOR network connection

Orweb

I would like to have a password protected recovery, truecrypt based security (with hidden partition if possible), root disabled, firewall, full GPS enable disable, spoofing options, and more cool stuff. I don't think i would like to compile my own roms. If someone wants to jump on this and help me create a hardened android ROM it would be awesome.
[HTC Sensation] Pjay12:
My name is Bond. James Bond.

To answer your question no you cannot have that kinda ROM here. Root disabled?? pretty much every ROM here has it enabled. GPS can be disabled with one click. I'd suggest SIM lock through phones security settings, face lock for apps pro from the market and a nice cold beer to make you less paranoid. No offence but not even presidents want that much security.. Its a phone..
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
Your network provider is never going to know you use recovery or that you can gain access to your system partitions. They're not going to know you use root apps or that you have root access either. firewall you can obtain via the avast antivirus app in the market.

And I don't think you'll ever be able to cover your tracks when it comes to hiding who you call and text. The network company holds records of all calls and texts for billing purposes and only relase these in case of police investigations, with your permission. You can turn off your GPS, but you can still be located using the cell towers, which you need for reception, so you can't hide yourself completely. If you want internet access with out this just use wifi with a vpn or other such ip hider/rerouter and remove the sim card all together.

There is genuinely no need for this level of security on your phone. Like I said in my last post, if your phone is lost or stolen, you can always remote wipe your device so no one will know what you had on it, it'll just be a shiny brick.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
what you seem to be talking about is Carrier IQ? that was disabled last year in an earlyish htc sense RUU leak and has not appeared since.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
And Carrier IQ is not in any custom roms, and even if it was it can be easily deleted.

Cyanogen most certainly does NOT have root access disabled by default. Half the features on it wouldnt work without root access.

If you really need that kind of security the best answer is to not do whatever you need that kind of security for on your phone. Use another device.

Also, invest in a high quality tin foil hat.
[HTC Sensation] The_Genius:
Hi,

First, not even 1% care about security and privacy in thiers phones. People just having fun not knowing what data is being leaked from thier phones.

I know what you mean, if you want to have secure ROM, use CyanogenMod and patch it with autopatcher - PDroid2.0, then block almost all permission to all apps (including system) and this will give you the best privacy. Also don't use gaps and remove bluetooth if you don't use it.

Use K-Mail with APG to encrypt your emails, use Ostel to make anonymous calls, use Tor as a browser.

I think CyanogenMod9 for Sensation has already Pdroid patch merged. I suggest it over CM10 as is more stable and faster.

Below are links that may be useful for you.

I'm in the same boat

I would like something similar. I know we have remote wipe, etc. However I would like to know that if I loose my device, the only thing I am loosing would be the device. Currently I am using ARHD 50.0. I can not get the local storage to encrypt. The Micro SD however can be encyrpted. So I am working to try and install all the apps I need, then move them to the microSD and force them to write data there instead of the default location.

It is a bit strange that this seems to not work well at all.
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
Android is rather secure. Every non-system runs in its own sandbox.

Follow these steps to get you phone really secure:

1. Encrypt internal storage as well as sdcard.

2. Go S-ON. Relock your device.

3. Remove custom recovery after ROM installation. Otherwise encryption can be broken. Especially if you're scared of NSA.

4. Use superuser to remove all apps you don't need, then disable superuser.

5. Disable ADB. Both USB and wireless.

Any "trusted" ROM capable of this is secure.

Happy to help.
[HTC Sensation] bastei:

I'm interested in encrypting sdcard. Do you have a hint how to achieve this with the HTC Sensation?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] nemuro:

[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
You need to use a ROM that supports it. I use ViperS 5.1.0 (Vipers 4 also supports this).

Not that because SD card encryption, other cards that you put into your phone will be read only until you decrypt external storage
[HTC Sensation] kInOzAwA:
You forgot about Replicant OS, fully open source ROM, removing all the proprietary drivers and suggested users to only install and use f-droid repo as alternative to Google Play. It's supported mostly old Samsung Galaxy with exynos 4412 chipset and nexus too. The latest release use 4.2 android's firmware. BTW, blackphone will release their own ROM that will be called PrivatOS. They will open source that ROM. Only their services and tools need to be paid with the phone itself :)
[HTC Sensation] n00bi3st:
Second thoughts yet?

Have you reconsidered this naive position yet? Honestly, if you had been the first "expert" opinion I'd read here I never would have trusted XDA enough to install CyanogenMod. Or do you work for the NSA "no need for this level of security"-boy?

[HTC Sensation] ChingghisKhan:
Not about phone being stolen!

This is Not about phone being stolen! Anti theft apps don't work if you take the battery out and disable them in safe boot!

We want to be secure while USING the phone.

Almpst every app spies on you these days.

I had set up an seperate eMail address which I used o a seperate phone after waiting 3 months.

My inbox and SPAM was empty until I started using the phone and installed apps, then BOOM: SPAM started by the TON.

The bad Devs are selling your eMail address!

Stock ROMs include a whole bunch of spying functions, CM is a bit better, but far from Secure.

It is possible to "secure" a stock ROM after heavy de-bloating of all the Google spies and never using Gapps again.

A firewall can be circumvented: After many tests, I found the Root Firewall by Root Uninstaller to be the best.

After configuring everything, I found thaT "Next Launcher" and "Go SMS" were still able to get around the firewall.

I installed Xprivacy and after configuring it, I also found that Next Launcher and Go SMS were still able to send data over the internet.

I went into Expert mode and after restricting Next Launcher and GO SMS, they simply stopped working.

Today, coprporations, law enforcement, developers, etc... can know just about TOO much about you if you use a smartphone.

I love to play around with smartphones but laugh at me, I only use a Motorola RAZR V3, the best phone EVER made in my opinion.

Correct me if I'm wrong,but are we talking about Black Berry style security here?
[HTC Sensation] fab*23:
I landed here looking for "the best secure custom rom" on Google.

I guess this is quite impossible.

You will need to encrypt the whole net segment from OSI layer 1 to 7 which is technically impossible for 99,998% of the people around the world.

Anyway you can "anonymously" surf the web with TOR (used by security agencies and scrapers) and use alternate words your "end node" will understand (like in the WW2) and hiding methods like that (human stuff mre than technicals).

If your browsing is unspoofable maybe in hours you will be pinged by hackers or 3rd party IT security agencies.

Look at them with an open port just to get their "pings".

Better to get any content in the same way the most people does.

White noise has unexpected hiding features.

Hope it helps.

In addition to such consideration:

1) the battery can help apps to get your position (based on 3G/4G transmission rate = power loss throughput).

Facebook app is the most famous.

2) Anybody can be tracked due to his family, friends, related people, jobs, posts, comments and, of course, online purchases and browsing history. Example: If I look for 5 products all the time and i bought 1 i will look for other 4 left. Easy to track if combined with some other info. Isnt'it?

Without a phone you will be tracked anyway and not just for business purposes.

But I could send you zip, that you can flash before cm10 restore and you will be unlocked after reboot. Maybe pulling battery after flashing will be needed.

After restoring stock (you would have to restore stock boot.img and recovery too), you could flash lock zip I can provide, to be locked.

But I am not sure, if you could restore cm10 with bootstrap.

Maybe that unlocking zip would have to flash cwm recovery too. And restore cm10 from that.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] know8677:
The LED notification on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus is shaky at best.

I mainly get notifications for Gmail and Google Voice texts. It seems as if it only sometimes actually work. It seems worse for the Gmail notifications, but there are many times that I pick up my phone and see that I have an email when there is no LED blinking.

I'm not sure if it just never came on or if it stops after a period of time, but what the heck is up with the LED? Why bother putting something on the phone as a feature and not having it work correctly.

I'm currently on a custom JB ROM, but it has only worked very inconsistently at stock on ICS and any of the other ROMs I've tried.

**** And yes, I know about Lightflow, but don't think we should have to use a 3rd party app to enable something that should already be working.
