They're tracking EVERYTHING you twat.

Ok, no more feeding the troll, I'm done. y'all can enjoy, but I'm out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre_Vitto:
Damn.. if they track a good amount of activity from all the androids everywhere.. they will have to maintain huge ammount of data.. costly stuff.. :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glorifyday:
Very good idea. :good:

To sum up... can anyone tell if the NSA code is inside CM and if yes - does it compromise our privacy?

Is there any smartphone OS available that minimises chances of tracking and eavesdropping?

Get a dumbphone BOOOM problem solved. Now everyone can stop complaining and the mods can close this thread.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sobralobo:
A "dumbphone" can be tracked. Also... Do you really think they wait the smartphones to track people ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbrad:
Do you really think you'll ever stop complaining? Half people on here act like there gonna die.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sobralobo:
Show me where I am complaining then. I'm just writing a fact nothing more.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glorifyday:
Bbrad: please stop trolling :(. If you are not interested in this "complaining" thread, just ignore it instead of offending people in your every post.

Destroying all the electronic devices and moving to a desert place, although a popular suggestion in such discusions, is not an option.

The first thing is that it will not guarantee you privacy, even the basic "bathroom" one. In, say, twenty years you will not tell if the fly that enters your bathroom is real or maybe a drone doing its routine services.

Second thing - I want to keep my privacy and live a normal life. By saying "throw away your phone" you admit this is impossible.

And the third one - technology is meant to help people. If we are living in a democratic country and are starting to be afraid of it, something went wrong.

The starting point is: the things revealed by E. Snowden should have never been legal, should never be legalised and never be regarded as a new standard. Otherwise we will end up in a world that even Orwell would never imagine.

It dissapoints me to no end that Google has given into the government. They are a bunch of spineless geeks. Stand up for yourself and for your customers. Shave that god damn neck beard so you can raise your chin high. You are an American. You should love this country and its constitution, not those who rule it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disynthetic:
Word on the street is that they gained backdoor access through the hardware, via SIM cards. On the fly decryption, near real-time.

Gemalto employees were targeted by GCHQ and basically profiled until one of them was careless enough to provide enough clues to gain access to the Gemalto security keys. Subtle backdoor access through all SIM cards that all carriers use. The time frame is unclear, just how long this has been the case, I cannot find information on.

Food for thought.
[General Questions and Answers] fastae:
Sorry this question might not exactly would fit in this forum, but I guess this is the only place I can get a proper answer.

I know there have been lots of smart wristbands or activity monitors(nike fuelband, jawbone up, fitbit) out. Nike Fuelband and Jawbone UP didn't open their APIs yet, they've only allowed theirs "partners" to have access of it.

However, Fitbit does open API, but it's somewhat troublesome. It's only allow developers to access via there database and also it's limited.

Is there any purchasable product smartband that supports open API? or at least I can get raw data from the band?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry ultraman youre method is too easy but is slow, a lot of people here already know how to edit build.props. How? Simple, use es file or any other root explorers, go to system/ build. prop and just change it. Btw, google actually changed the insides of 4.2 and upgrade them to remove lags ibstead of changing the ui/ features.

This is just changing the device number many more build prop mods have been posted .

Why would you want such thing?
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
You can add modifications to a build prop as many devs have in their rom .

But just to change a build product to Android 4.3 is something a twelve year old would do .

1+2) soylent green was a film based on the premise the world population was being fed a substance called soylent green......however the authorities of this totalitarian future world had long since run out of food and soylent green was actually made from recycled humans............And that is where the band got the idea for the name :D
[Galaxy S III General] soilentgreen:
1+2) I didn't know it. I'll watch the film.

There is any Interview with the band that explain it?

Thank you for this Information.

3) Can you give me a link to the specific rom? (it rootbox?)

Thanks again.

It doesn't matter I saw it here http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Soilent_Green/76

"Soilent Green are named after the sci-fi movie from the 1970's; Soylent Green (probably changed to Soilent Green by the band to avoid copyright infringement). "

I just got my phone 8 days ago and last night I dropped it without a case on and scratched up the front corners. It's it possible to get it exchanged at AT&T? If so how?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mito8485:
Thanks for the feedback.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Jmarv:
how bad is it, you can always claim something else is wrong with it. Where did you buy it from?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mito8485:
It's very small. I was able to kind of hide the clear aluminum showing with a black marker. I also just noticed I have 3 dead pixels so maybe that would be enough if they don't really notice the scrapes. I got it from an official AT&T store.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SKyRocKeting727:
Definitely worth a try. Dead pixels are a big deal. I say go for it. Plus, those scuffs don't look too bad.

It's sad how many people commit Fraud
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] dcemtp1:
Personally I dropped mine and it got scuffed a little too, so much that it bothered me. I was within 14 when it fell so I took it back and told them that it was to fragile along the edges, got way to hot (130°) which I screenshot and the headphone jack doesn't work well with FM radio and he said no problem and replaced it and that was that. It was fraud on my end, and I paid good money for a phone that I wanted to keep in mint condition. Haven't dropped the second one yet but I have gaps, which isn't too bad. My advise, go for it and it isnt fraud of there is actually a problem with it anyway.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mito8485:
I ended up trading it in and getting a silver one. I was completely straight with the rep and showed him the scratches which he thought was no big deal and were barely even noticeable. I had to point out the scratch locations since he couldn't even see them at first. I showed him the dead pixels and also the power button which had this awful click sound which drove me crazy. I just had to pay a restocking fee and was good to go.

Hi All,

I have got an Intex Aqua i-5 android phone.

I have a question here "Does Intex aqua support OTG".

I have seen in various web sites which says that OTG is supported but It didn't on my phone.

I have cross checked the OTG cable on other phones which was working, it's just not on my Phone.

If it does can any one let me know HOW ?????

Waiting for a reply

Hi All,

I am suddenly facing issue with N/W in SL.

I am in India and have an airtel prepaid connection and for the past 3 days, though my phone shows n/w coverage, i am not able to make calls.

Moreover if someone is tryin to call, even they get not reachable message.

After some time, i then get an SMS that i had a missed call from so and so numbers.

I am not sure why it could have happened. I have tried CM 9 A12 and CM 10 A2 in my phone over the last few months but i am currently back to stock DDLF2(rooted).

Kindly help!!!:crying:

Help! Help!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
if you want to be helped, plz provide some more info.

What did you do

with what rom versions

A full ROM upgrade consists of 3 parts:

System ROM <-- Since you've updated the radio (see next line) you must have updated this too

Radio ROM <-- Based on '1.18' this is the one you upgraded

Ext ROM <-- If you left this untouched (no ms_.nbf in update fiolder) it should still be thye same as before

The camera app is inside the ExtROM. If you have not touched the ExtROM, camera should be installed during the customisation phase.

If you used an ExtROm that did not install correctly or which does not incorporate camera, the camera wont work (obviously)

[General Questions and Answers] Tru Drew:
I am a new member to XDA, though I have been to this site countless times before, and finally thought it was about time to join. I am not a noob to rooting or flashing or any of that-though I am still learning.

I have come across a problem and need help. I have a T-Mobile SGS III SGH-T999 and was running 4.1.2 Axis M rom, but I decided try something else. I've been searching for a good debloated stock touchwiz rom with the latest update, but until I find one I wanted to try something I found called JellyBam. Right now I'm back to 4.1.1 stock-I made a rooky mistake and had to reroot, just fyi.

I downloaded the latest JellyBam from get.jellybam.com and flashed it but all I got was, "status (7) error, Installation Aborted". I found out that "status (7)" happens when the phone checks to make sure the rom is compatible and the way to fix it is delete the line of coding above "show progress" in the "updater-script" file that causes the phone to check for compatibility and rezip the package and flash it. When I flash it now, it doesn't check for it to be compatible, which is good, so it goes straight to install. This time I don't get the "status (7) error" but it still aborts installation and I can't find out what's wrong.

I stopped trying to figure out how to get it to work. I just couldn't figure out what's wrong, I kept getting "status 7" and then "status 6"-and I have no clue what that one is-so I went with a rom my father used and I love it. I went with the inFAMOUS rom.

I would still appreciate some help with that whole "status 6/7" problem if anyone knows. Also, if anyone knows of a good debloated touchwiz rom that has the latest 4.2.2 or 4.2.1 tell me cause I've been searching for one and can't find one I like. I would like one that gets the latest updates.

Thanks.
[HTC One S] tjsinghlion:
Along time ago I tried out a lot of aosp Roms. I tried cm10.1 and others like that. I have hboot 1.14 and I have s-on. And I'm always having Wi-Fi issues with aosp Roms. OK so about a month ago I was using viper ROM. Wifi was working correctly. It was on 4.1.1. I recently went to united basic ROM. Which is basically the jelly bean update. My kernel is 3.4.1 and I want to use illusion. But I keep hearing things about being on the latest HTC one s jelly bean ROM. (Which I'm not because I keep getting a message saying there is a new update) and I did not do the ota update I just flashed a ROM that gave me it. Please someone help I really am kind of stuck.
[HTC One S] iVandal:
Illusion is using the 3.4 kernel. The "problem" with this kernel is that it needs the latest hboot (2.15?) & firmware. There are a few ways to get it, but one of the "easyest" ways is to simply go back to stock HTC RUU & update it. Right after that, you can simply flash illusion like any other rom. If your rom allready updated firmware & hboot, you should be good to go. Shouldn't be on hboot 1.14 anymore tough.

[MIUI][MOD]Center Clock - Signal Icons - Carrier Logo

Mods for latest release of MIUI 3.7.5 here you have:

flash this trought CWM:

1. Center Clock with signal icons on the left

2. Center clock with themeded signal icon on the left

Signal icons are now separeted it means type connection and icon itself.

Also was themed battery top bar to white version.

Custom carrier logo in statusbar

How to do it by myself?:

Put this code to the res/layout/signal_cluster_view.xml. It depends where you want to place carrier logo if in front of the wifi or signal icons.

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0">
<ImageView android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/carrier_logo_id" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/carrier_logo" android:scaleType="fitCenter" android:adjustViewBounds="true" />
</LinearLayout>

I placed carrier logo in front of the wifi icon so the code looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.SignalClusterView android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0">
<ImageView android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/carrier_logo_id" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/carrier_logo" android:scaleType="fitCenter" android:adjustViewBounds="true" />
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/wifi_combo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="-6.0dip">
<ImageView android:id="@id/wifi_signal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom|center" android:id="@id/wifi_inout" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>

In values/ids.xml on the end of the file you have to put:

<item type="id" name="carrier_logo_id">false</item>

And next thing is tu put into the drawable-xhdpi your logo which have to be called carrier_logo.png

Custom Carrier Logo with CC and Themed Signal Icons

More tweaks are coming.

It depends if u want to have center clock or not.

without center clock under this code line (layout/status_bar.xml):

u have to add this code line:

<LinearLayout android:gravity="left" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0">
<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Carrier" android:id="@id/carrier" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:singleLine="true" />
</LinearLayout>

layout/signal_cluster_view.xml

under:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.SignalClusterView android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

u have to past this:

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0">
<ImageView android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/carrier_logo_id" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/carrier_logo" android:scaleType="fitCenter" android:adjustViewBounds="true" />
