I was playing angry birds nd cdnt get past a level so i searched play store for an app tht wud unlock th level for me

I found an app which was downloaded more than 5 lakh times

And rated as 5 stars by around 7000 ppl

I saw th permissions it required n was alarmed

I hav droid wall installed nd i didnt giv th app permission to access th internet

Then i had an app called cheater which i think is an xml editor for games (plz excuse me as im noob cant explain well) but ill link u to th app

http://www.4shared.com/android/bnU2Hbz9/orgjajazcheater_demo4.html

And was shocked

This app stole 1)all contacts 2)email id 3)possibly credit card details 4) emei nunmber 5) cell number 6) model number 7)carrier name
[Android General] devwithzachary:
These things happen and is why you need to check app permissions before installing.

Most bad permissions are in apps like this mind you, as ALOT of people would be looking for apps like this they get alot of peoples details
[Android General] chillteddy:
I know v as users are responsible...but google shd do something abt it :( many such apps in th playstore isnt a god thing :(
[Android General] okmijnlp:
The permissions and TOS/T&C explain exactly what the app does. If you're too lazy/stupid to read the permissions its your own fault. Yes it's a "bad" app but it's not hiding anything from you, it isn't breaking any rules, so no, Google shouldn't remove it.
[Android General] omariworld:
Damn, that's harsh but also very true. The general public doesn't take the time to read that information and jumps on an app just because it's free and popular. Another thing to look for is weather an app is from a trusted developer. For instance Google apps have access to most of your information be most of us trust Google more than baby jesus...
[Android General] chillteddy:
yea but wht some apps do is...they start off with non suspicious permissions

as th app updates th new permissions r incorporated

now if as a chronic aandroid user since 3 yrs wd hav many apps.....nd sieving thru every updated apps permission (which although shd b done) is difficult
[Android General] devwithzachary:
Sure but the market does not auto update a app if its permissions have changed which is really the best google can do.

They COULD do what apple does and take the time to filter every app that gets submitted, but I for one (As a app developer) would be very pissed about this, apples submission process takes up to 3 weeks while google takes a hour at most to show up in the market.

And besides some apps still get through on the app store so meh personally I think google have done everything they can, its down to the end user to read before installing and not just clicking about, its there own fault if they install an app that has more permissions than it really needs.
[Android General] chillteddy:
i think ur ryt....

i use droid wall though :)

It is today's deal on Laalo. This is something that we can all use, well except for us HOX users.
[Member-Found Deals] mbh87:
What does laalo charge for shipping? $5? If so then now that great of a deal IMO.
[Member-Found Deals] grayfoxmg1:
Not sure because as I stated, I have a HOX so no sd card for me.
[Member-Found Deals] uoY_redruM:
$4.99 shipping.

I think I'm going to buy one myself. It's only 16GB but for that price, it's a good deal for a temp card.

EDIT- I looked them up elsewhere. You only saving like $5, so, it's not as good of a deal as I thought. It's $16.94 shipped, you can buy a 32GB one for $22 on Amazon.

You can also use the S Voice port by Snakerock. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1693103

Just download the apk, push to system/app/, change the permissions, and reboot. Sometimes it may force close when asking it something. I think the official ICS coming tomorrow will fix that.

Hi,

I am using my Arc with CM10 FXP 139 now and I have got a problem with voice control.

On the internet I found the way to activate it. It is in settings/language&input/voice search. But in CM10 the option to download the voice data is missing.

Any idea how to solve it? Or is it possible to use any other Jelly Bean custom rom with offline voice typing?

I would prefer to stay on CM10 and perhaps someone has an idea how to solve this.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hohenstaufen:
Hello gentlemen, today I downloaded AOKP build-4 rom and tried to flash it via the latest CWM 6.(something1.2) though I got the following error:

symlink: some symlinks failed

Status 7

Btw I was coming from AOKP rom build-2.

The thing is that when I tried to reboot I'm stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 screen. I tried to restore data and wipe everything but nothing happened. I downloaded and tried to install other roms (Cyanogen 10, AOSP etc) through my external SD but I got the same error: symlink: some symlinks failed. So what can I do? Have I bricked my device? Can I do something with odin maybe and install a stock rom or something? Thanks in advance.

PS. My device is the P5110

PS2. Is there a way to power off my device? Pressing and holding the power button just restarts my device...

hi

have u tried to put it in download mode and flash a stock rom for 5110?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chafamexxx:
Hi, I want to know which JB do you recomend as the fastest, I´ve tried the epinter, jokersax, aokp, and miui. But still the Mrom scores higher with the antutu benchmark.

Currently I´m using Mrom and so far the battery life and the speed of the Atrix is awesome. Without having to overclock I get 5,340 of score, Is there a JB rom that can score to at least 5,000 with the antutu without having to overclock?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidRunner:
Why do benchmarks mean so much to you?

You already tried all the JB roms pretty much anyways, you most likely answered your own question.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
Benchmarks mean nothing. Whether your phone lags doing day to day operations is the only thing that matters
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Synthetic benchmarks are completely useless and meaningless in that they do not represent normal day-to-day usage patterns. Personal experience is by far the best benchmark there is.

EDIT: bah, too late, has been said already.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidRunner:
I got a kick out of the benchmark results that came out with iPhone 5 vs GS3. IPhone was higher slightly and isheeps were doing circle jerks because of it. I've never seen a cross platform benchmark test and I tried saying how benchmarks do not mean a thing. I got down voted hard.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BravoMotorola:
Its funny too because in a few months there will probably be an android phone that's even twice as powerful as the gs3. The isheep thinking they will always have the best are sadly mistaken.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moderaterain:
Till now all JB roms are experimental, so I prefer a stable one, rather than fast.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelorona:
You won't find a "very fast" JB rom 'cause we dont have the drivers neither the kernel for managing everything as the GB roms

I tried several and at least with the day-by-day use, epinters was the best, no lag but some games didn't run as fast as the GB rom
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moderaterain:
I use CNA 3.6.5, some games like Cut The Rope overspeed a bit.

thanks to everyone for the responses, I´ll keep my Mrom for now and wait to see if Motorola releases the Drivers so we can have the hardware acceleration on JB.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] -DarkKnight-:
well gnex people got it working...

it takes some skilled developers to port it. its not just editing a few framework files adding a few apks and downloading a nightly for it to be based. imagine it like porting AOSP 4.2 the day the source code comes out

you have no prior sources or work of anykind. just source code
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DarkCoding:
Yes, I know. I said I‘ll have a LOOK and may try that, so I can not guarantee that it works.

So can we expect WebOS port for Optimus one?

I don't know who started porting WebOS for GalaxyNexus but check that out: http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/Main_Page

And webOS was running perfect on such low level devices like optimus one, so i hope that webOS will run smooth and fast. Can someone port it?

It's opened, just like android. If someone try, i will test it :)

And btw what happened to B2G (boot to gecko os) OS port, will someone port it too?

So...at last can we expect webos or b2g?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DarkCoding:
As I said, I‘ll try to port that.

adfad666 is working on B2G.

Edit: Yes, you can expect webOS for O1 by me :D But I must hold on the iOS xTreme development (okay, it‘s modding :D) to do that. And in 2 days I‘ll write a test :( :banghead: :eek: ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Compusmurf:
FYI, most folks tend to keep the modem version in sync with the rom version.

Also Fyi, there were binary comparisons done with several of the baseband releases that came with the leaks that proved the only thing that was changed on MOST of them was the version number. No internal code changes were done.

When Samsung sends Sprint a package, it includes the baseband package as well, even if nothing was changed but the version number.

Hi, so I've been on rasbean/trinity combo since 8.09/stable35 and have pgm installed, however when I flash newer versions pgm stops working. Gives a dialogue about not loading modules. SuperSU log has "init.? failed to load... file doesn't exist" for pgm (busybox and permissions done). I have to do a factory reset to get it working with the newer flashes. Is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
uninstall pgm, reboot, then reinstall it. i believe that the dev of pgm even has it in his instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1two77:
I've tried uninstall-reinstall from playstore after flashing ras/tri but no go or should I uninstall pgm prior to flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
did you reboot after uninstalling? you should, thats how you remove the module that it adds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1two77:
I did, sorry if I forgot to mention earlier. I've tried uninstall-reboot-install from backup/playstore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
ask in the gsm trinity thread, there are many pgm users there. i dont use it.

This happens to me sometimes, but I never have to wipe the phone for it work...usually I have to disable it, reboot, and then enable it but even then sometimes it doesn't stick, u really just gotta keep disabling, reboot, and enable until it works again....also try removing it from supersu and regranting root permissions before rebooting

i checked your post number and realized that you cant post in the development section yet. so i invited the trinity thread to come to you ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shubu000:
I had problems with pgm begire

What I did was clear cache of the program, clear data

Check su, see whether supersu is working well and that pgm is requesting su or the su binary is not up to date

If that doesn't work uninstall then reinstall. Seems like you have done that already though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kong:
Tried reinstalling SuperSU and busybox?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1two77:
Yup tried those as well, could be permissions related since SuperSU toasts takes minutes to pop out and it comes in bunches
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rogoshin:
I don't have the dialogue boxes, but after a reboot i always have to turn Pgm back on again. The pattern is much like the kernel temperature widget, after a reboot it always stops working for me. I do a full wipe every time i update, but have tried a dirty to, with the same result.

Sometimes after a reboot it also takes Supersu several minutes before it takes effect, i don't know if that is normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Try going into superSU and forget PRM, then boot to recovery and clear cache, dalvik and correct permissions. When you boot, do not touch the phone for at least 10 minutes and let all the SU permissions run. Then open pgm from the app drawer and wait until you get su permissions.

I had this happen once, pgm worked immediately after I flashed a kernel, but then not five minutes later. I had similar issues to you. What I found that using pgm before the SU permissions are all run causes something weird.

Hey guys!

I know there are already many short Threads about this, but I didnt found any, matching to me.

Whats the Problem:

I want to backup my HomeScreen with all App & Widget Positions. Also I want to backup my AppDrawer-Menu (Folders, Icon Postions etc).

I found 3 Solutions, so far:

-Using another Launcher, that can nativly backup these data (not matching for me- I like Touchwizz)

-Using "MyBackup" (many issues reported. only homescreen backup. <-- not even that bugfree)

-Using "TitaniumBackup"

I prefer TitaniumBackup!

In some other Samsung-Thread here I found the solution to simply backup the "twlauncher" with TB. But i cant find that file in TB!!! :eek:

Plz, can anybody tell me how to backup my Homescreens and AppDrawer-Folders?

With GoBackup Pro you can save the touchwiz settings even widgets as long as you use the original tw and not a modded one.
