wake lock produces battery drain by unnecessarily putting the phone in "awake" mode when it should be in deep sleep. Some of my experiences with miui and the current .58 rom (it gives around 5 hrs of display time but the wake locks are still there)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] i2nice:
So where to start? I am getting new samsung galaxy s3 this Tuesday as my new phone. I do know how to root, change roms, etc. that I learn from my sony x10 (X10!! WHY YOU HAVE TO DIE ON ME??? :crying: ) As I am searching through the threads about samsung galaxy s3 and I found the link about the rooting. But, it look like it is lots of easier than I think. There is the link for the All in One Noobs Video: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1728824 to see if it is the same thing like before. And I am wondering why I have to be very careful about not tripping flash counter which I am worrying about that too. So, the question is what is no tripping flash counter means and I heard that it is very bad when you trip the flash counter...

Also, I want to talk about the screen protecter and the phone case. The one I was looking for is that brand came from Spigen which it caught my eyes about phone case is so amazing on the site which I really want to get it. But, I look for more threads about the Spigen case that the people is having the problem is the volume button of the case is too tight, yet, I really don't get it and I still fall in love with that case...Any suggestions?

And the screen protecter from Spigen too..The Samsung Galaxy S3 Screen Protector Steinheil Flex HD Series...I did check out on the threads and the youtube about that and the protector look so amazing too if I am wrong. I starting to find out about their screen protector that they are getting some orange effects on their phone which I have no idea what is that or I can look for other screen protector from Spigen?...Any suggestions again?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] King Shady:
I have the SGP Neo Hybrid - it does have the button issues, but you can gently shave off these little knobs on the buttons with a pocketknife and it works a lot better... But I'd wait like 2 weeks because they are redesigning the case so it doesn't have those issues (I'm getting a free replacement). As for the screen protectors - I'm currently using a SGP Ultra Nano screen shield- and it is awesome. SGP is a great brand and make quality products.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] i2nice:
Thank again for the case issues. Yet, when they are going to release the new one with no button issues? Also, the screen protectors, are they same kind, well, I mean the look of the screen to make it lots of nicer?

Thanks all for the feedback! I will be updating the addon in a bit and adding on some more stuff. :good:
[Android Software Development] 3r0k:
This is absolutely fantastic, I was wondering when something like this would be put together! The guardians are absolutely right when they say the mobile platform is the least secure, anything that can be done to change this is beyond welcomed.
[Android Software Development] Gucci.Nexus:
Anyone tested on CNA?
[Android Software Development] x942:
New versions are up!!

EDIT: I also want to reccomend FuguMod Kernel nikademus did a great job incorporating PaX and Stack Protector into his kernel to increase security.

Tested. Confimed working over here on my GSM Galaxy Nexus.
[Android Software Development] x942:
UPDATED: New versions are up. Added in Ostel for encrypt Voice calls. Also tested new devices (posted in OP).
[Android Software Development] defconoi:
Thanks for providing this package, works great, would love to see more added to this or maybe a complete privacy/secure ROM.
[Android Software Development] x942:
I'm glad you like it! I am currently working on a version of CM10 that will incorporate these features/apps as well as a more secure kernel. I should (hopefully) have Alpha builds out this week.
[Android Software Development] defconoi:
See if u can prebundle the repo of guardian project of https://guardianproject.info/repo/ as well.
[Android Software Development] x942:
I will add it to the list :) I will have to take a look at the resource files and see where FDroid stores the repos.
[Android Software Development] groksteady:
hey, thanks for this. I got here from the Guardian Project mailing list, and I just posted this feedback there.

The full zip installs fine on a Samsung Galaxy S i9000, running CM10 nightly 20120820 and Semaphore 2.0.6 kernel. The progress bar didn't go all the way across, so I thought it might've bailed, but it looks all good now.

So far tried I've Orbot and TextSecure, which I assume were reinstalled, and my settings+data remained. Ostel kept my login info, too, but going into settings I get incredible lags (which may be the new CM10, and the funky partitions that the dev/device maintainer used to work around our space limitations and NAND speeds). Also tried ObscuraCam and opened Panic, looks OK. New toys that I've never played with yet.

Before flashing this, though, I tried installing the update zip, in the hopes I'd add Orweb, ObscuraCam, etc., and not lose data+settings with the apps I already had. The flash said it completed (again, despite that the progress bar didn't go all the way across), but when I rebooted, I had no new apps. Then a weird quirk: I opened a data connection and Orbot, and it connected fine, but a check with Firefox Beta said I had no net connection. Checking mail in K9 gave me errors, but Twitter with Tor proxies set loaded fine. According to IP Track, I had no external IP. I turned off Orbot, turned it on again, and then all was working as expected. Strange.

Anyway, thanks; this is a great project. I also want to ask: Any chances of including RedPhone? It's open source now, but unavailable on Play where I am; I think it's limited to only the US. I used Market Unlocker to get it, and will be testing it here soon. Nathan of Guardian Project was saying that outside of the US, it may have push/wake problems. I'll find out soon here, but if it's not too buggy, it'd be great for everyone outside the US.

edit: also, what about adding MD5 checksums, or a GPG signature?
[Android Software Development] :
Thanks for the feedback! I may not have not have worded the OP well but all the update zip has is the latest apps I've added in. For example the current update zip ONLY includes Ostel. In future updates the may be several apps in there. The only reason I seperated them out is to prevent any posible issues with overwriting installed apps that's why the full versions deletes the APKs if they are present. If you prefer you can always flash the FULL zip. The small update zip is just smaller in size and doesn't delete any APKs.

The reason I did this was because in my initial testing if I installed an updated version without clearing the old APKs they would force close on me. I didn't dig any further and it may have been a seperate issue but to prevent any headaches the FULL zip will always delete old versions.

I may add Red phone later. If I do I will keep it seperate from the main build as Ostel is the better solution IMO for the exact reason you mentioned (US Only availablity of RedPhone). If there are no bugs in RedPhone out side the US/Canada AND enough people want it I will swap it in place of Ostel.

I am working on using a GPG Sig. but I want secure storage for the private key first. I have a dev machine in the works for this. The new versions will probably be signed with a GPG key. I don't trust MD5 so I won't be using it. I will post some SHA256 sums next to the links though for now.
[Android Software Development] CADude:
Nice package. I can see why people would use this but honestly, until there's a true open source OS with no ties to Google whatsoever or any advertising company, you can forget about privacy.

Perhaps the GuardianProject would be better suited to forking AOSP for their own uses so that people can use Android safely, like an AOKP for privacy.
[Android Software Development] :
While I agree; if you want privacy on Android simply install any AOSP build minus the Google Apps and Framework. If you do this nothing is sent back to Google as nothing Google related is installed. The only extra you/we need is to replace Google Search with DuckDuckGo or similar by default. That said I am working on a better ROM focused on security and privacy. I also know there is at least one other dev working on this (unrelated).
[Android Software Development] groksteady:
That's a good idea, but remember, security/privacy initiatives don't have to be all-or-nothing. Enough people have different threat models from wanting to evade a data-miner. I would like to see such a project, but Google is less of a worry than local eavesdroppers.

As of now, you could try Replicant, which would strip all Google bits from your phone and kick you back to somewhere around Android 2.3.5. Possibly, too, SEAndroid from the SELinux repository, although that may leave you with some frameworks. And then there's the NOGAPPS project on XDA, which is gaining traction. Also, with Replicant, it will likely not have address space layout randomization, or ASLR, which is a good protection from malware that JB has.

Ah, OK. I thought it would check for apk installs, and then install whatever wasn't present, or upgrade if the zip had a newer version. At any rate, it's all good here.

Hopefully I'll get to play with Ostel with a local user here, same person I'll test RedPhone with. I'll post feedback comparing them, and also on the GP list or Github, if relevant.

Thanks for this. Don't know how XDA works with crossposting, but you can likely expand or move from this subforum as it's working on the Galaxy S i9000.
[Android Software Development] :
Let me know how it all goes with Ostel and RedPhone. I have never been able to test them myself. I asked the Mod team to move the thread to General Android Development now. We will see if they agree with it :)

Thanks for the feedback!
[Android Software Development] :
New update is available. I have a work enviroment for GPG keys now. All future versions will be signed with my private key (once it's generated). I will post the public key on dropbox here in a few min.

Let me know if anything else should be added/changed.
[Android Software Development] :
Never mind. I figured out the issue. PEBKAC's FTW :/
[Android Software Development] lokiUnbound:
Separating encryption password from unlock password

You might consider including the following:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nick.cryptfs.passwdmanager

So that you can have a very secure password for data-at-rest and a medium security password for unlock.
[Android Software Development] :
Thanks for the post! I PM'd the developer. New version should be tomorrow as well.
[Android Software Development] groksteady:
hey, just a note:

I flashed the latest full (Galaxy S, CM10 2010.6.220820, Semaphore 2.0.6) and on reboot got a bootloop, which Semaphore interrupted and sent me to recovery mode. I fixed permissions there, and reboot went fine.

The reason I flashed the new version was in hopes of updating TextSecure to 0.6.2. It doesn't automatically show in Play market that it's an outdated version. Going to the app in Play does, and it downloads, but installing doesn't work. I get a notification that I need to uninstall first. I'd guess that this has something to do with it being installed as a system app, right?

EDIT, ERRATA: I now remember having an update problem coming from 0.5.7 before (previously installed from F-droid). Moxie tweeted about the update, which was only on Play then, and I also had the same problem. It said it was signed with different keys, and I I had to uninstall 0.5.7 first, install new version, and import settings/database. But just now, I've uninstalled the system apk, and Play still won't let me update. It downloads, then tells me this update is incompatible.

Also: I think there's a security flaw in 0.5.7 -- I noticed that my messages were decrypted in logcats (search for 'calculating'. I searched for a ticket two days ago on the whispersys github, but didn't see it, and then realized I was on 0.5.7. I don't know if this is fixed in 0.6.2. I need to search more, or report the bug.

Also: FWIW, K9 has had several updates on its Google Code page.

EDIT 2: OK, so I rebooted and Play let me install TextSecure 0.6.2. But importing settings/DB FC'd on me. This happened before, on my apk updates when stored in data. But following the suggestion here doesn't help -- I've lost all my messages. No worries, as there's nothing in there majorly important, but could be a problem for others.
[Android Software Development] :
*****URGENT******

Because of the LogCat issue that leaks SMS in plain text I posted on the GitHub page. Moxie responded and has now fixed this issue. That said he also mentioned that the F-Droid version of TextSecure (WHICH HAS NOW BEEN PULLED) is an unverified build. He said to consider it malware while maybe a little extreme I will be releasing an update. This update WILL REMOVE text secure. If you need it you will have to grab it from the play store as that is the only place that Moxie authorizes and can be proven legit.

The full conversation is here: https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure/issues/53

ANY VERSION lower than the market version should be considered INSECURE. Moxie said he annouced a fix. I am unsure if the current 0.6.2 is the fix or not. I will test it and see. Thanks you Moxie for the quick fix.

I will no longer be including text secure in the ZIP. I do highly reccomend you grab it from the playstore though.
[Android Software Development] groksteady:
Fwiw, I've noticed that both Moxie and Guardian Project do seem to rely on Google's Play store for releases, and have seen other sideways comments about F-droid. Same with Max Lv, who makes the SSHTunnel app, which is specifically geared toward users in China. He told me that for security reasons, Play is preferable. I never looked deeper into it, but F-droid is at the least annoying in its infrequent updates.

I don't know enough about Google's communications with accounts, although the Android page I read sounded more or like it uses a VPN. I don't know if that means those connections are not routed through Orbot or my own SSH tunnels, but I assume so.

I'm not trying to be tinfoil-hat alarmist about Google; I just want to understand that process more. Maybe also because I've slowly begun to revise how I wear my tinfoil.

[Android Software Development] :
Update has been pushed. Please download ASAP!

Consider all old versions INSECURE.

I agree with how Moxie put's it here:

F-Droid is great but not if the Developers are focusing on multiple markets at once. If they don't put it in the play store a whole mass of potential users will miss out.

I prefer F-Droid but I understand why other dev's may not.
[Android Software Development] :
Just an update:

I will be releasing a new version tomorrow that will include new apps and hopefully a smoother install on some devices.
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
is this project dead? nothing for 10 days...
[Android Software Development] Chief_Death:
^ I am also wondering the same.

[Android Software Development] :
Bump! Update posted. I have finally got GPG keys and will be signing all future versions.
[Android Software Development] :
Has anyone tried the new version? Any bugs/issues?
[Android Software Development] Волк:
Running this on an unofficial CM7 Kang for G2x, Orweb refuses to work, it just throws 404 errors at me. Does this have to be installed to /system or can I modify it and have the apps installed to /data, or is it a matter of security to have them on /system?
[Android Software Development] :
I submitted the bug to the OrWeb Github page.

There should be no issues installing to /data I only used /system as I prefer them there :D
[Android Software Development] Волк:
Thanks. I am in the middle of a project right now, but perhaps I will see of there's anything in a logcat that gives any hint as to what the issue is.
[Android Software Development] memine:
I use Tor on both Windows and linux. Was looking into this project as I alreay use half the apps noted.

I used the update thinking it it would apply the ones I didn't already have but ended up opening the full release to apply the ones I was missing.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy SII - I9100M

Kernel: PhilZ-cwm6-MUGLD3-MBMC-2.0-signed.zip (Stock Canada MUG LD3 with CWM and root added.)

OS: Stock 4.0.3

The following are manually installed except for the CryptFS which was installed first via zip.

Orbot: Installed and seems to work.

Gibberbot: Installed, but not uded or tested.

ObscuraCam: Seems to work, only tested once.

InTheClear: Haven't installed, maybe at a later date.

Android Privacy Guard: Installed but not sure what to do with it yet. Haven't used PGP in years.

DroidWall: One of the first apps I install. Locked down to only half dozen apps that can use WiFi and data is closed.

FDroid: New to me...tested and downloaded a few apps. No issues.

ORweb: Seems to work fine but didn't connect through to Orbot test page. Keeps failing. Test page worked fine when I tried it after opening ORWeb directly.

OSTel: haven't installed yet. Not keen on the permissions required.

K-9 Mail: Just switched over today as it was part of the pakage...seems to work okay after a quick test. (Had connection issues at first.)

CaCertMan: Never opens...just keeps saying loading.

CryptFS Password Manager: Opens and closes right away. (None of these password change apps have worked for me but this one doesn't load. I go to shell and do it manually and change the passwd without issue that way. No idea as to why apps fail.)

I've removed a LOT of the original bloatware and virgin/bell/google apps. Including maps, email, street, and anything else that I can without getting errors.

Added extra security items like avast, LBE, and Ad Network Detector. Use others to scan and report and holes or privacy issues like Privacy Blocker and ROM Tools.

I'll see how these apps workout and provide feedback.
[Android Software Development] :
Thanks! I knew there would be bugs sooner or later I will alert the devs on there github pages and post an updated version ASAP.
[Android Software Development] Волк:
I figured out that Orweb won't work at all unless orbot is configured to route it via orbot. Once I did that it worked fine.
[Android Software Development] memine:
No problem. It the least we can do to help each other out.

Further to my initial report;

CryptFS Password Manager: It maybe working. I was able to see today that it was only closing itself after a extremely fast message saying that the phone wasn't encrypted so it's terminating. Another tool of this king does this as well. I believe I was able to see the message this time only because I setup a password in preparation of encrypting this weekend. When I had pattern enabled I didn't see this message.

CaCertMan: Had to go google this one a bit. I had to copy the cacerts.bks manually to the security folder before the app would open. Otherwise it just keeps looking for hours until canceled. Once copied over it opened, allowed changes, and saved just fine. However it doesn't seem to do anything or hook-into the SGS2 ICS 4.0.3. On my stock phone, only switched kernels a few times, I have a Settings> Security> Credential Storage section. Which has the following three options Trusted credentials, Install from storage, and clear credentials. It looks like these options tie into the "/system/etc/security/" folder where I have a "/.drm" folder and "/otacerts.zip" file and "/themecerts.zip" file.

Still looking into this issue with the certs as I want things cleaned up and locked down with as little bloatware as possible before encrypting.

The rest is pretty much the same until I get a chance to use them further.

Downloads are now digitally signed with my private key. Public key has been linked in the OP. I highly encourage using the public key over the hash for security reasons (A google search will show why this is more secure). I will leave the hashes up for ease of use and for those who don't want to install PGP/OpenGPG.

ANY download that does NOT macth the signature or hash should NOT be flashed and are probably corrupted.
