Almost 1,000 fraudulent apps published on Google Play in August alone

Almost 1,000 fraudulent apps published on Google Play in August alone​

​

Yes, there are downsides to Google’s policy of letting anyone publish their apps on Google Play. Symantec has found that scammers published almost 1,000 fraudulent apps on Google Play in August alone, most of which were deleted within hours of posting on the store.

But even though Google was quick to delete the fraudulent Android apps, Symantec estimates that they were still downloaded more than 10,000 times. Symantec also says that one group is responsible for 97 percent of the fraudulent apps, which typically “include numerous links to various online adult-related sites, but one or two links actually lead to fraudulent sites that attempt to con people into paying a fee without properly signing them up for the paid service.”

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
I posted in the Q&A forum asking for people to see if there CPU Power saving part of the Power Saving mode was working correctly, because mine would limit the CPU top speed to 1.35 GHz as it should, but only for a few minutes, then go right back to 1.9GHz. No one responded, so thinking I must have a problem with my phone, I exchanged it last night for a new one. And guess what? This one does it too. So it appears a major part of saving battery by using Power Saving Mode is broken with all T-Mobile units at least, if not all of them. I called both T-Mobile and Samsung before returning it and both said they never heard of the problem before.

For comparisons sake, my wifes Note 2 in PSM locks in at 1.1 GHz and doesnt budge from there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AxAtAx:
if you check the box in power saving mode it will lock in cpu at 1.2 (never seen it do 1.3) from what I saw, hence, power saving, so un-check it, you should get 1.8, another item that effects the cpu speed is kernels, have you tried another?

BTW, nice ride you have. sweet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
Nope, checked should lock it up to 1.35, which it does, but leave it for a while and then check it, the phone will over ride it and scale back to 1.9 on its own.

Hello everybody,

I am new at kernel building and so please bare with me. I have been using kernel modules for CIFS from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2003836http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2003836 by H3g3m0n and all is working fine.

But since I couldn't find modules for NFS I decided to compile them myself. I had no problem in building the kernel and modules for stock android kernel gaf9c307 4.2.2 but the modules just won't load. That is why I also created the CIFS modules. I taken a look at the md4.ko modules with modinfo command and they both seem exactly the same. I have attached the md4.ko module which is used in CIFS just to show the example, the md4_works.ko is the module by H3g3m0n and the md4.ko is mine.

Can anybody please help me. What am I doing wrong. I have appended the steps I have taken when building modules.

Thank you for all your help

After I got my Galaxy S4, I immediately rooted it using CF-Auto-Root. I loved the rooted phone, but there were a few problems with the root permissions:

- SuperSU and all rootcheckers confirmed that I had root access

- ES File Manager would not let me use the Root Explorer feature, it ended with a "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone."

- A paid Root Explorer would let me modify the /system partition

- I could not start Complete Linux Installer, I got errors about permissions starting /root/init.sh

- "adb remount" did not work, even after "adb root". It did work when I used "adb shell" and then "su".

When I downloaded the kernel source from http://opensource.samsung.com/ to make some adjustments, the problems did not disappear. After doing some research, I found the cause: http://gs4.wonderhowto.com/inspirat...galaxy-s4-and-its-new-secured-kernel-0146787/ If you change the lines after ## Samsung rooting ... in .config in the kernel source from =y to =n and then build the kernel, you'll get a system with full root permissions.

For those of you who aren't into building kernels, the same task can easily be achieved by flashing a custom kernel after having flashed CF-Auto-Root. The Adam-kernel from wanamlite (http://wanamlite.com/2013/06/21/adam-kernel-galaxys4-lte-v1-4/) for example. I included a boot.img for flashing with mobile odin, it is a new kernel with only the root permissions fixed. Don't flash the attachment zip but extract it and then flash it with mobile odin, the .img was too large for me to upload. If you get stuck at the logo, reflash the stock firmware from http://sammobile.com/ via odin, you won't loose your files, and leave a comment.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] harise100:
If you set the lines in question like this:

# CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_ROOTING is not set

The status will be "permissive" and ES file explorer will work fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] batteryking:
is this mf8 kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] argentux:
This is the newest kernel from http://opensource.samsung.com/ with the ramdisk extracted from the xxub firmware from Germany. The kernel shouldn't be firmware dependent though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KEriksen:
Hey!

I'm having some trouble even installing roms really... I used CF-Autoroot and it seems fine but when I try to install anything in either twrp or cwm it won't mount different folders and I get different kinds of permission messages!

Any idea what that could be?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] argentux:
I dont think the problems you experience flashing roms have anything to do with the kernel (because the kernel hasn't been loaded yet). When I flashed CyanogenMod on my S4 I had problems too with "set_perm" in custom recoveries, but trying to flash it over and over again solved it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KEriksen:
Yeah, keeping pushing it seemed to work for me as well (until I got it all ****ed up somehow later on) but I'm kind of looking for a solution because I can't believe it has to be the way to do it...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sany:
After rooting this device, will I still be able get the regular official updates from Google automatically? And if I get an update, will it remove the root and I have to root again?

If I install a custom ROM, can I be able to come back to official ROM?

Are there any tweaked version of the official camera app and what is the best camera app for nexus 4?

Thanks for your help

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aanonymoushuman:
You have to have the stock recovery to receive official updates, but when you root you install a custom recovery and therefore will not receive official updates. The answer to the second question is just that you won't get any official updates until you uninstall root and flash the factory IMG. And yes you can easily flash back to stock after installing a custom ROM but make sure to back up your data as it will all be wiped. The last question I don't know the answer to. I like the stock camera and its simplicity, but if you want something more "professional" I would suggest looking in the play store.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
I believe that you can still recieve an ota if you have a custom recovery installed. It will overwrite it though.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
good morning -- just like you to know the beauty of this forum is the ability to find all the answers to your questions by searching. First off updates do not exactly come once a week but they will with custom roms. As well any update that Google puts out you will easily be able to flash here.

There are ways to maintain root in most cases especially with using SuperSu I believe. I am not 100% on that but I have read of this in passing. Its just easier to me to flash the updated rooted version

Tweaked versions of the may be found in the apps section but again a search would of told you so.

Basically what I am saying is enjoy your time here but think of it like this what ever question you may think you have has been asked 100x before so just take some time look it up and gain some knowledge about android, rooting and N4 :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] euclid0379:
I don't have my phone hooked up to my computer at the moment, so this might be a little vague.

I've had this happen a number of times. Plug your phone into the computer via USB and go into the Windows Device Manager (assuming you're running Windows) and uninstall the driver for your phone. Look for something like "Samsung Android Phone" or something like that.

If there is an option to delete the driver DO NOT delete it, since we want don't want to remove it from the computer.

After it's uninstalled, unplug your phone from USB and then plug it in again. Windows should do its automatic driver thing, and hopefully you'll be back in business.

Hopefully this helps. Good luck!

I have tried the following

Snap Camera - Kept freezing

Mods

Camera JB from nexus galaxy s4 - FC'd

THANKS! :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gamer649:
There is no definitive answer for that question. Each user has different things installed on their phone so a theme what runs smoothly on one phone may lag a lot on another. The same goes for ROMS, each users personal experience is different from the next. You will have to test many different themes on your own device to see what runs the best for you. Make sure to follow the install instructions to avoid bootloops.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ophirb:
I recently had najor problems with gps reception and locking.

I flashed many different roms in trying to solve it.

I searched the forums and saw many suggestions, all of them spoke about tweaking or using a different gps.conf files.

Tried many of them and nothing helped.

Then I flashed a rom that changed the modem also and what do you know, gps was working again. Good reception and fast locking time.

It also was a sammy based rom and not an aosp/aokp/cm rom.

The thing is that I think the modem was the main solution. Maybe the sammy rom helped too since I did get a response from someone saying that there is a piece of software in sammy roms that is needed by the gps and can not be integrated in the aosp aokp cm roms.

Since then I am kind of reluctant to try another rom, maybe an aosp one with this modem and see if the gps works good.

Maybe a group of people can check this, me included, and report thier results with different modems and roms.

Since I use my gps daily it realy was a difficult time for me when I experienced these problems.

So this topic may become a good guide to people with s2 gps problems.

My problematic modem was xms2 while good ones were xlq6, kh3 and xlph. Also on a friend s2 xls8 worked fine.

A good thing will be to include your location as results may vary according to it.

My location is Israel.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damienoid:
It's not the modem, GPS has nothing to do with which modem you use.

It's probably more with the fact you went back to a Sammy based rom instead of aosp/aokp/cm
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ophirb:
From my experience with embeded modems they usually contains the gps receiver as well, this is why I believe there is a connection but it can be also be related to the rom.

This is why I asked other users to try it out so we can get more statistics on the issue.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ophirb:
I did some testings today and here are my resuls.

It seems tat there ae two problems one is the modem used the other is the rom.

Changing the modem did help a lot on aosp/aokp/cm roms in terms of reception and locking time. It seems though that after dalvik wipe it will take much longer to lock the firsttime, then it is much faster took my device to lock about 17 to 30 seconds while on the first time it took as mch as 2 minutes.

But on these roms it seems that less satellites are viewed and used, they only managed to use 4 or 5 ay most when there where between 7 to 9 satellites visible.

Sammy roms used all or most of the satellites visible, which led to a more accurate locking.

Good modems where KH3, XLPH, XLQ6, XLS8. I believe that KH3 was the best followed by XLPH.

Bad modem XMS2.

ROMS Avatar rom for aosp/aokp/cm based, ROMs4 and vivik for sammy based.

Regards and hope it will be of use for someone.

Anyway, the Samsung don't show in device manager now, even after reinstall the S4 drivers. Get a phone beep on plugging in, that's it. I plug her S3 in, get beep, screen says connecting as media device, windows 7 says installing drivers, via windows update, and eventually gets it done, saying "USB composite, sgh-i747, CDC/ACM, and ADB interface" (as shown), much as with S4 when it's usb driver install is successful.
