[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
A PDF in read only format, just means it can't be modified... but it wouldn't stop anybody stealing a copy. And anybody with physical access to your device would be able to take a copy of whatever files were stored on it.

You can protect yourself against this possibility by setting a LOCK SCREEN PASSWORD on your Nexus 7.... or even more secure, ENCRYPT THE TABLET... which is an option in JellyBean.

Whatever is stored on the 'cloud'... DropBox/Box/GoogleDrive, etc... it's security depends on the integrity of the companies involved, and the STRENGTH OF YOUR PASSPHRASE - the longer, and more convoluted, the better!

Rgrds,

How to Remove Restriction (Copy & Edit) from secured PDF files

Some people like to use password to protect their PDF files from being modified or copied without authorizing. A PDF file with the modify password cannot be copied and edited unless you have the password.

However, with PDF Password Remover, you can remove the copy and edit restrictions from secured PDF files as you like even you do not know the password.

Hi Droid-expert

For stock bootanimation in JB, there is a single threaded animation process/class inside. If I'd like to implement the power-on sound/tune as well. What's the best programming scheme/model it could be?

So far, by my understanding, I did something in BootAnimation.cpp in the following:

Did I do wrong? The handset boots up, it shows the animation first, and then the sound is played.

However, in a normal AOS adb shell session, try to run bootanimation, and it works fine (I mean both animation and sound are played at the same time)

Does the init is multi-threaded?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] arandreev:
Hi Guys,

I bought my Xperia S ~1 year ago. 2-3 days later I flashed the international ICS official ROM. Then, some months ago I started to browse trough the forum and I decided to unlock the BL and upgrade to JB CM10. Everything fine so far... but then I was one of the luckiest owners that received the yellow tint... :(. So I've read some threads and decided to restore my phone as close to stock as I can and I flashed stock firmware (6.1.A.2.55) with flash tool again. As all of us can expect, the Bravia was not working, Track ID was not showing album arts, Walkman was crashing when trying to download Track info and so on... all because of the lost DRM keys. Then... I returned my phone to my seller to fix the yellow tint, and they returned me the phone updated with the new stock JB (which came out when my phone was still in their hands). They didn't fix the yellow tint, but that's another topic. Now everything is working ... So looks like they restored my DRM somehow ... Do you think it is possible, or Sony just removed the DRM dependency on their applications?

What's your opinion about this? :confused:

Cheers,

Happy Owner ;)

Check your IMEI, they may replaced your mainboard.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] arandreev:
*#*#SERVICE#*#* shows the same IMEI, so no change :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
The only thing in JB that's still dependent on DRM keys is Bravia in Album. Did you check that thoroughly? Downloading music info and TrackID work without DRM keys.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] arandreev:
Thanks for the info! I didn't know that Track ID and Download music info will work on JB without the DRM. About the Bravia... When I compare the images with Bravia turned on and off ... I don't see the difference, so looks like it is now working. So looks like the DRM dependency is only for the Bravia and I'm still missing them :)

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] oscarthegrouch:
I got mine at radio shack. Forgot the name and it didn't say tpu on the box, but feeling it and taking it out of the box confirmed it was. Forgot the price too. Mostly frosted clear. Buttons aren't cut out. I prefer them that way so they aren't weaker near the buttons and lip. The thickness is decent and not flimsy. I image like any clear tpu or white, it might turn yellow after time. I've yet to see that though.

I don't have music player or any sound related problem. I do have another one.

When I close "mobile data" from upper task bar(or drop menu), I still have a mobile connection and available to make a call or whatever, send sms.. but the problem is.. in the drop menu/upper task bar I can see the level of signal. But in the top next to the clock, the signal bar always gray. Like here is signal below a minimum.. and it's never changed.

When I enable "mobile data" the bug is disappear, I'm able to see again current signal level on top next to clock and in drop menu.

Hi there!

After hours of search on various sites I did not get the actual solution as my galaxy y turns off during call. This is happening for last couple of days. Phone is rooted.

And finally I have to visit the xda. Is there any specific solution for the problem?

One more problem is with adb root command.

While executing the command it displays

"adbd cannot run as root in production builds"

whats the problem ?

Kindly reply if anyone has the solution for the above mentioned problem.

[Windows RT General] 96whitels:
I am interested in purchasing a Dell XPS10 for business purposes.

I would like to be able to upload my work PDFs to the tablet, and send to a customer to view.

However, I need to be sure that they would not be able to remove the PDF on the device.

Can a user profile be created for this? How does read only files work? Can this be achieved?

I am trying to avoid DRM, if possible.
[Windows RT General] hisoft:
Can you create new user for customer? When you set customer user permission permit for read and deny for deleted, take ownership. Then that user can't do anything except read.
[Windows RT General] 96whitels:
Thanks! That seems very reasonable. Any idea if the user would be able to take the PDF and send it as an email attachment with these permissions ?
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
Well, and make sure the new user is not a member of the Administrators group or otherwise able to use UAC or become Administrator, or they can just overwrite the permissions.

That said, it's an odd request. You want to send some files to people by putting them on a tablet and sending the tablet, and your biggest concern is that they not delete the files? That seems like it should be the least of your worries, unless there's some really weird regulatory thing going on there.
[Windows RT General] 96whitels:
Okay. Yes, I know its a odd request, but these will be educational tablets. My concern is not deletion of the file, but rather copying, forwarding/attaching, or extracting the PDF for personal use or distribution.
[Windows RT General] seven7xiaoyang:
you can create a guest user before you show XPS10 to customer
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
Wait wait wait, if you just want to prevent them deleting the file, that's more-or-less possible as described here. If you want them to be able to read it, but *not* able to copy or forward it... that's the essence of DRM, and (as with all DRM) is a fundamentally impossible goal; all you can manage is to make it a bit difficult (at best).

If I can read a file, I can extract its contents, put them in another file, and send that along. If the contents are encrypted but I can read it anyhow, then I can take those decrypted contents, put them in a new file, and send it on. If you want to truly prevent people from passing along something like that, you can't permit them to read it at all or they can (simplest / worst case) just take screenshots of each page and send those to other people as images.
[HTC One V] Joc007:
I have installed slim bean (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2092572) ROM and discovered one functionality that drives me crazy.

Whenever I swipe across lowest part of the screen (where touch buttons back, home, menu exist) from right to left the phone wakes up. Doing it again it sleeps.

It behaves much like power-on button, except that it constantly powers on in my pocket and tries do dial emergency call.

I checked everything and I have no clue where to disable this functionality. What is this "feature" even called?

BTW, I have this kernel: boot-HELLBOY-CM10-201302142348
