In a less worrisome way, the NSA has contributed to the AOSP. Many companies and agencies have. And individuals too. Keep in mind changes have to be reviewed, we can't just stick **** in there and get away with it. Nothing malicious has come out from this (yet).
[Nexus 4 General] billydroid:
I was under the impression that they contribute code to make it more secure. So that android devices can be used by NSA, government, employees.

But that's not to say they wouldn't spy on their own kind.
[Nexus 4 General] sub1287:
You realize how many knowledgeable people have combed through this stuff? I am pretty sure anything malicious would have been spotlighted by now.

I'm not saying we aren't monitored just that there's less transparent ways for them to do it.
[Nexus 4 General] meangreenie:
Like wacking great big apk exploits galore.

Android is about as secure as whores pair of knickers.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
So knowledgeable that they can't find anything. You really think the government will leave a trail that is discoverable to the user's? They are watching you 24/7, whether you like it or not.
[Nexus 4 General] Maine_Coon:
And not enough.

Would they watch enough, Boston teract would not happen.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
This thread is going to end well...
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Is that why the Nexus speaker has that buzz? I suppose that is the NSA software attempting to intercept the audio, which would explain all the wakelocks the nexus has too. Very intriguing details indeed, I'll have the boys at the office investigate later.
[Nexus 4 General] username8611:
Lol nice.
[Nexus 4 General] uploder:
lol like it matters? dont be a suicidal/terrorist idiot and go about ya business.
[Nexus 4 General] albundy2010:
You really think that government has some secret sauce that they can apply to open source code that the open source community couldn't read or detect?

Put the tinfoil hats away. This idea isn't even needed in the first place since they already have the capability to gather info.
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
Agree with this guy. From my experience the government is a bunch of numb nutz. They couldn't code some secret spy code to save...Er well our country. You give these morons in Washington way to much credit.
[Nexus 4 General] albundy2010:
Wouldn't say that really. The morons in Washington don't code. They hire people that do.

They wrote stuxnet for example. They know what they are doing. It's different for open source though.

If I cover my nexus in tinfoil will the NSA still control my phone?
[Nexus 4 General] Exodian:
We are done with the investigation now. Very disturbing news indeed. I would tell you what we found but I think they are listening in.

I see huge tinfoil hat is coming lol
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
There is NSA code in Linux as well it's called SELinux. Govt agencies routinely add security enhancements to open source OS so it's safer for their own personal use.

Since Android is open source, you need not worry about this NSA code that's present. You need to actually be more careful about iOS and Windows. Even if the companies say they don't,

you have no way of knowing if they are speaking the truth. With Android you have a way to know it as the code is open.

There are lot of talented people looking at the Android code. If someone even tried to sneak a backdoor, it will be found easily and quickly.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Lol, did I say that they that the government has inputted code? All I said in response to the other guy is that it government isn't so dumb to make it obvious if they were to retrieve data from its people. Re-read please!

Don't be small minded. People are delusional when it comes to these things and then they cry about it.
[Nexus 4 General] abaaaabbbb63:
Guys, maybe this goes deeper than you think. Maybe this is the reason for the NSA code:

Spoiler content hidden.

Ok, now seriously, stop feeling like you're being spied on. The USA Government would need a lot of funds and man power to surveillance us all. Plus, what interest do they have in a couple of phone users and nerds minding their own business? That would be a waste of time, money and resources.

So stop feeling so important. We're not worth spying on :P
[Nexus 4 General] meangreenie:
I bet NSA designed the new software features of that new X phone.
[Nexus 4 General] albundy2010:
It has been obvious and it's been reported on over and over. People with their head in the sand may just now realize it but it's nothing new.

The topic at hand is this nonsense that the NSA has contributed code to android. Which isn't even new either. Just now the tin foil hat know nothings see NSA wrote code for android, it's a botnet! Oh noes.

It's nonsense. Simply even implying that hey look at all the other stuff this agency does, they could blah blah is rubbish.

You said do you really think they would leave a trail for the user's? So they may have done something. But that something isn't code, but whatever they could have done that isn't code, nobody would be able to catch it because they wouldn't leave a trail. Oh but didn't say code.... Nonsense.
[Nexus 4 General] Maine_Coon:
At least someone can think clearly over this traitor-inspired paranoia.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Didn't they already help build the software for Xbox ONE's Kinect?
[Nexus 4 General] 7TimesCursed:
Yeah they want to keep track of all the porn people watch.. Our government already knows what they want to know about you. DMV, Social Security, IRS.. Everyone has to stop flattering themselves thinking that the NSA wants to mess with them. They have been active for decades, and nobody cared until some paranoid people made it a huge deal..
[Nexus 4 General] compuw22c:
If Snowden is a traitor, then WE are the enemy, since he helped us (citizens/the public)...

Another "Traitor" from history might have this to say:

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin
[Nexus 4 General] Maine_Coon:
You are comparing Snowden to Franklin? Bravo!

And how exactly did he help you? Releasing info about programs which started under Bush and which even Ron Paul agreed were legal under our present system of government.
[Nexus 4 General] Neo3D:
You're right, I'm not Black so I shouldn't worry about racial profiling either.

If cops are giving Blacks a hard time, it's because they're probably up to something nefarious and we should just go about our business.
[Nexus 4 General] DontPushButtons:
Kinda scary that the mainstream media is doing such a good job demonizing Snowden and manning that people just don't care about the constitution being circumvented for a massive dragnet surveillance network.

The US has been losing allies left and right, and as long as people can work their dead end jobs and play their video games, they couldn't care less.

There's a difference between conspiracy theory and an informed audience.. When this all turns out to be real, it's no longer theory..

Edit: just to clarify, I agree that NSA submitting code for AOSP is nothing new, and nothing to worry about (beauty of open source..) But to play it off like domestic spying is not a big deal is plain ignorant. Presidents have been forced to resign because of domestic spying of a much smaller scale (Watergate). Sure, they -might not- do anything with the massive amounts of data they're stockpiling on EVERYONE, but its incredibly naive to think they won't, and haven't already..

I own a French Toshiba Pocket PC and an English XDA II and I wonder how can I transfer ROM French transcriber version into XDA II english version? But maybe it's not possible?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Miami8906:
I know on the S2 and S3 you could use the volume rocker to change songs while the screen is off but so far I have tried 4 or 5 roms on my S4 and it doesn't work. It just increases or decreases the volume when you hold it down. Does anybody know if it works on the S4 or am I missing a setting or something. Thanks

EDIT:.

NENERMIND just installed LiquidSmooth and it works fine now...bump head.

Im am using a VZN GNEX and running a Carbon nightly.

But the GNex has not been disconnected and I have went into the 'developer options' and 'adroid debugging'

I even see the cool jellybean on the upper left corner.

Anyone else has this problem or can help with advice?

All the more reason to unify behind a single petition. It's most likely that people who signed this one also signed the other two, making them not really voices at all.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosada:
Hello guys,

i have installed a custom Rom with android 2.3.4 in the hope to get some more apps running on my old desire. Unfortunately as soon as i install one or two apps there is not enough space. I have read quite a bit in the forum but cant find really a step by step solution for that. So far i have rooted my device and installed a custom rom.

Could someone please help me how to get my phone fixed so i at least can install a few apps on to it, especially navigon and candy crush:)

TIA
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
You'll have to partition your sd-card to get more app space. Check out the partitioning guide in my signature.

Would you mind telling what rom did you install?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosada:
I have used the mildwild rom with last android 2.X but didnt get it to run since i run into trouble with partitioning the sd card. Can't i do that anyhow in Win8? I have found the option to do it over a live cd in gparted but unfortunately i cant use any external boot media
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Then use 4ext instead. Read the guide, it shows you how.
[HTC Sensation] scanferr:
So I had this problem and as my phone is off warranty and as I have some knowledge, I noticed that the volume flex cable was a bit damaged. I bought one from parts4repair, replaced but the problem still exists. So if it's not the volume buttons what may it be?

Yes I did search the forums for this and didn't find anything similar to my problem :p

Hope you guys can help me..
[HTC One X] dashdeep13:
Hi ,

I currently have Cyanogen 10.1.0 on my htc one x . I am not able to make a call using my wired headset . Every time i double click on my headset the music player opens. Can anyone please help?
[HTC One X] doom_71:
Some more info would be nice: f.i. what headset are you using, what button do you push
[HTC One X] dashdeep13:
Sorry for the brief info. I am using a tekfusion twin subwoofer earphone which has is actually an headset. I have the call receive/end button on the earphone. Earlier when i had not rooted the phone (and even now in other phones),when i double click that button on the earphone , the last contact from the call log would be called. Now when i do the same, the music starts playing from my default music player on the phone. Please help regarding this. Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Install an app for changing button behavior just go to play store and type in headset button or so

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] dashdeep13:
Thanks that proved to be an alternative...but still curious about the face that headset service should be by default ....why it is not stable in cyanogen 10.1.0 :(
[HTC One X] Dubz199:
Default is a subjective state, perhaps the creators/modifiers of CM10 have changed the default action of the button to open the music player? For me that would be logical. Gives me an easy way to access music while out on my bike.

If you want the action back, either ask the rom creator to explain how, or use a play store app to change it. Simples.

Oh, and from what you've described, the stability is not in question, given it starts the music app every time you press the button...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Mebct76:
I have an AT&T S4 (I377) on Stock Rom 4.2.2 that I have rooted. I am new to the customization thing. I want to put Wanam's Adam kernel on it with the stock Rom. Is this possible and how would I go about doing that.

Wanam's Adam kernel has the ability to record phone calls. I need this function for my job or I am tied to a desk. My last phone, S2 Skyrocket, worked flawlessly in this aspect.

any help or direction on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Cataligh:
The rom has the ability to record phone calls not the kernel.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
Hi,

I have an issue with Google voicemail on my Galaxy S4 running Wicked v4. I've searched regarding google voice issues, but none seem to describe what I'm experiencing...

When someone calls my phone and I let it ring all the way through, then the caller gets my Google voicemail greetings and is able to leave me a voicemail in the Google voicemail system.(works as intended)

However, when someone calls me and I manually reject the call while it's ringing, the caller gets to my carrier's voicemail....

I'm expecting it to forward to my google voicemail, but it's not working as expected.

I'm on T-Mobile.

- I have set up a google voice number that's forwarding to my carrier number on my phone.

- I've enabled voicemail on it and configured the phone by punching in the *004*##### code provided by Google voice instructions.

- I have also checked my phone's configuration under Call Forwarding to forward to my Google number when busy, unanswered and unreachable.

- I have set the "Voicemail service" in my configuration to use Google Voice.

- In the Google Voice Settings on my browser, I have set the Forwarding Options for "When someone calls this phone directly and I don't pick up" to "Go straight to voicemail".

I have also called T-Mobile and have them DISABLE my whole voicemail on the carrier. So I have no voicemail box on T-Mobile system.

Someone stated that the T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail could be interfering with the calls... but in Wicked ROM, the Visual Voicemail has been removed and not installed.

I'm at a loss... What else could I have set to make it work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
Sounds like you've tried just about everything except one thing I found helpful. Deactivate then reactivate your Google voice service through your GV settings via a PC. See if that does it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hotbread:
Hmm... Doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm starting to think it's something to do with Wicked ROM... but as I'm a newbie, I cannot reply to the ROM's thread. If it really is Wicked ROM's incompatibility, I may have to switch ROM... Too bad, I really like Wicked. :/

A bit off topic:

I also notice a new issue with the new Google Maps on the same phone. It's a tad inconvenience that I can't post to the ROM's thread to see if the other users of the same ROM are also experiencing the issues I'm having.

[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] Rajeev:
Firstly u need a Deodexed ROM for this. If u have a Deodexed ROM means Make sure u downloaded the right version. Dont use .257 versions in .284 firmware..

Do this..

If u have the Deodexed .284 ROM in ur Internel memory means flash it with wipe cache and dalvik cache. Bootloop will solve.

Then flash the 28 DPI ( Make sure u downloaded .284 version )

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

reboot

after some time again reboot to recovery and flash 5 button or 3 button nexus style

wipe cache and dalvik cache

reboot

Always keep a deodexed .284 Zip in ur Phone. It will help u to recover from Bootloop

U need Root and a CWM Recovery for this. U have two way to get root acces.

1) One is Unlocking ur Bootloader and Flash A Custom Kernel. It will 101% void ur warrenty, And also u will lost ur DRM key and Bravia Engine 2.

2) Next is Rooting with DoomLord Rooting Toolkit. And there was a CWM Recovery for Locked Bootloader also.

In my Knowledge and Experience Rooting Will not void ur Warrenty. But Unlocking Bootloader will void ur Warrenty..

At least from My Knowledge
