[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
No no the update script i had automagically set permissions.

This was something far more stupid...

I forgot to flash the odex file with it :|

But something strange i've never seen before, when i loaded messaging after the flash it popped up with a very gingerbread looking box asking me to set a message limit for conversations hmmmmmm...

Anyways, here's hoping this works when the time comes to need it...

It's part of my android 4.4 still being usable plan due to a hatred of hangouts...either on my GN or if i get a nexus 5 (and assuming all leaks are true and messaging app is being ditched in favour of hangouts).

Annoyingly this flash didnt work on the other device i tried...i dont know if that's because i tried flashing it to a nexus 7 where it doesnt want to work or if i'm an idiot and i don't know what i'm doing. probably the latter...

*edit*

i dunno, i guess i'm just an idiot.

Anyways, deodex'd the Mms.apk with http://www.xda-developers.com/android/deodex-all-the-things-with-universal-deodexer/ after a quick google...

and that happily installs on the nexus 7...so yay. Guess i'll use that going forward (i did the deodex at default OS version and left compression level at 5 because i dont know any better).

But at least it works so when the world ends and google try to force hangouts on me even more i have a backup...
[Omni Q&A] unclefab:
Will omniroms system apps have the same unnecessary and abusive permissions as stock roms and cyanogen mode roms have?

I'm quite concerned about privacy and whatever rom I use, be it stock, cyanogen mode or aosp, I have to restrict dozens of privacy related permissions.

And of course the device still works, which means that those perms weren't needed.

For example, I don't see why some system apps (I mean, not Google apps cuz I get rid of them but apps like systemui, settings, android system etc.) want to access my location, my contacts, my logs, my imei, my id, my serial number, my phone number, my provider, the list of accounts on the phone etc. eventhough they don't need it to work properly.

I guess that cyanogen mode doesn't have any other choice but to include what is to my opinion little more than spyware in the source, cuz if they didn't Google wouldn't allow them to use its material.

So what about omni roms? Will they be free from Google spyware or will they be enfeoffed to it?
[Omni Q&A] zelendel:
Those permissions are there so they can interact with other things in the system.
[Omni Q&A] pulser_g2:
Out of the box, there's no "spyware" that anyone is aware of in Android. If you install Google Apps, you are giving those apps these permissions obviously.

If you don't use Gapps (like me), then you should be fine - you can check what each app does in its own source code.

I am also looking into ways to help protect against spying third party software you install (ie. apps a user installs), for those who want added protection.

I work as a security researcher, so yes, I do care quite a bit about security, and excessive permissions is a life-long hate of mine :) There are no gapps when you install Omni, so you'll be safe. For those who want them, they can flash them.
[Omni Q&A] unclefab:
What I meant with spyware is not what one usually calls spyware, but I didn't have any other term to refer to it.

What I wanted to say it's that system apps (not Google apps like gmail or gtalk but system apps like phone, android system, systemui etc.) have intrusive, and unnecessary, permissions. When I say unnecessary I mean it, cuz I block or spoof them without my phone to have any problem. I know it's not the devs' fault but Google's, who likes to know what we do, who and where we are, and thus releases android updates full of spying system apps.

So then I wanted to know if Omni's system apps will be free from such perms, since the source comes from Google.

Until cm7 it was possible to block perms directly from the app manager, but I guess Google got annoyed at it and obliged the cm team to remove that function.

Whatever rom we use now, we are left with system apps spying on us, and that's why I call them spyware.

Cuz for me apps that want to know where I am, what contacts I have, what numbers I have called, my phone number, my imei etc, eventhough they don't need it, are in a way spywares. For instance look at the framework-res.apk (android system), every time we connect to the internet it calls home (I've checked, the address is Google inc, mountain view, CA). Look at the perms the systemui or the phone apk have, it's insane! Not to mention all the other system apps that want to access the /proc folder, our serial number and the like. Oh yeah, I nearly forgot fusedlocation.apk, Google's latest spyware since 4.2.2, that one can't uninstall or freeze or block.

I do not use Google apps, and I do use apps like Xprivacy or af+wall, but still, it annoys me to always have to play cat and mouse, and it annoys me that the android system always calls Google when I connect to the internet. Not that I'm an internationally wanted terrorist, but hey, privacy is privacy!

The thing is that future android updates will be more and more filled with such spyware (above mentioned fusedlocation.apk being the perfect example), and I hope that devs will find a way to bypass it.

That's why when I saw an announcement about Omnia I came to see if it will be better than cm privacy wise, and to give some suggestions about privacy and permissions...
[Omni Q&A] pulser_g2:
If there's anything that you've found like "call home" routines, please let us know - they will be looked at and removed if necessary.

Totally agree with you on privacy though here. It's very important. I have some ideas to go further than CM, but it's all ideas for now.
[Omni Q&A] mgbotoe:
Question here, if you do not use gapp what exactly do you use? I mean you need ways to download apps right? so you only install the playstore and call it a day or what?
[Omni Q&A] unclefab:
If you want to keep only the play store you can, but you will have to keep the Google service framework as well, and maybe the Google log in.

[MENTION=2178960]pulser_g2[/MENTION]

my phone is very well protected, and skinned to the extreme (like only 20 or so remaining system apps), so for now the only app that performs a call home routine is the android system. But if I disable all the protections then the wlan test, the settings and the settings storage do call home as well. I guess other system apps would do it as well, but since I've uninstalled more than 150 of them I can't tell which ones.

One can check by oneself using this:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/monitor-your-devices-network-connections/

and this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dium=organic&utm_term=network+log+google+play

Regarding android system's home call routine, could you please point me at a tutorial explaining how to disable it (I searched the web but couldn't find anything)? I'm not a dev, but I'm not bad at modding;)

I'm happy to see that you are more privacy concerned than cm, and when Omnia gets released I think I will try to make a build for my galaxy grand i9082 (cuz there's not much development going on for that device)...

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cdmvirt:
Of so after much trail and error here is the process to get to them.

1. With the gear on press and hold the power button until gear screen goes black.

2. Once the reboot screen appears press the power button 5 times with about a second interval between each press.

3. You will then be presented with the following three options: continue/download/recovery

4. Pressing the power button will cycle through the options.

5. Leaving it on the options or pressing the power button for 3 seconds will select the option picked.

NOTE: My experience so far download works like the phones, but be warned if recovery is chosen it will say "installing update" after which it will reboot to factory defaults. So that means all will be deleted and you will be presented with a fresh gear.

Hope that helps everyone especially devs. Hopefully getting some cool new things on our gear.

If this info helped leave me a thanks and pass the work. Glad I could have helped.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cdmvirt:
Has this worked? Leave your results.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mintie:
yes it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
You can use adb to reboot into these modes:

adb reboot recovery

adb reboot download

If you do it this way, recovery does not reset your phone :)

Now if only someone knew how to compile custom recovery so that we could get philz touch support

EDIT:

From what I've seen, gear currently runs android 4.2.2
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afonsov:
Hello,

I have a S4 I9505 with XXUBMGA rooted.

Usually I move to external SD card all the apps capable of being moved. Today I noticed that a lot of apps that weren't movable became movable to the SD card.

I didn't do any ROM update. The only two significant updates I can think of were the Xposed framework and Busybox.

Could this be caused by any other app (some were updated from the market but I thought this functionality was ROM based and not really app based)? I don't use any particular app to move the apps to SD, just the Applications screen from Android Definitions.

Did anyone notice anything similar? :confused:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] difyel:
this is just the way things are ; a lot of apps are not movable to sdcard using the move to sd card option. a better alternative is foldermount .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hgmichna:

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sim_tcr:
Hello,

I am opening a thread to list out some useful apps tested on galaxy tab 2 p3100. I will keep updating the list

Adfree - Adfree blocks the popup advertisements on games and other apps. Root is required.

Internet Speed Meter - Nice tool to show your current network speed (3g and wifi) also can be used to track daily network bandwidth usage on 3g and wifi

Folder Mount - Folder mount is used to mount external sd card folder to internal. Main use is to move big games external data (obb, data) to external SD card. Root is required.

TriangleAway - Is a must have for samsung mobile/tablet owners who regularly flash their mobile/tablet with custom ROM. TriangleAway can be used to reset flash counter in order

to claim your warranty. Root is required.

SCR Screen Recorder Pro - This is the only screen recorder I could make work on my galaxy tab 2 p3100. When recording i noticed severe lag in general. However recorded video quality and sound is decent. Root is required.

Clean Master - A very handy app to clean junk files and free up space. Also 1 tap boost widget available. Root is required for some functionality.

2X Client - Remote Desktop tool to connect to your windows machine.

androidVNC - VNC tool to remote your linux VNC session.

ConnectBot - A nice ssh tool to connect to your linux ssh session. ssk keys and port forwarding supported.

Hacker's Keyboard - A full sized touch keyboard. This is good to used with connectBot or simply replace your stock keyboard. You have the option to switch between stock and hacker's keyboard quickly. Root is required.

MirrorOP - MirrorOP can be used to send your mirror your screen to a PC or vice versa. Lags when you set the quality and resolution maximum. Root is required.

MX Player - A video player which can play almost any format or codec. Option to switch between H/W or S/W decoder.

Samba Filesharing - Access your phone/tablet sdcard, external sdcard from your pc over wireless. Root is required.

WhatsApp - Best internet messenger. Uses very little bandwidth. Not more than 1 MB/day (it may be more if share media files)

AirDroid - Good tool to access phone features and files via browser (LAN and WAN)

GL to SD - similar functionality as folder mount. Bit easier to use than folder mount

BlueVPN - This is usefull if you are using 3110 model and require internet on it while on move. If you have a phone with 3g and blutooth you can use this to share the internet of phone on tablet.

AdAway - another way to block ads as Adfree

Thanks,

Simon Mandy
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] santamanga:
I want to add AirDroid: it let´s you access your tab over wireless from your desktop browser.

You can transfer files from the tab to the desktop pc and vice versa, use both cameras, and basically access your tab data (such as the contacts, music and video and I think you can even send out sms.)

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] katsika:
Hi, i have a P3110 (which is very similar to 3100 as you know), with cyanogen mod 10.1.3 (meaning i have 4.2.2 android version) and i can confirm that GL to SD is working (its updated and its supposed to work even at 4.3). GL to SD is a mounting application like Folder Mount but it's easier to use (you just select the app or game you want to move and press move instead of adding the paths yourself) and its free.I ve tried Folder Mount but it only lets you use 3 mounts and you cant mount obb folders unless you pay 2.5€. GL to SD requires root ofc.

Also BlueVPN [DUN client] (doesnt require root) allows your tab to connect to your mobile phone via bluetooth and shares its internet. Must have app as my tab doesnt come with a 3g modem installed and internet tethering is the only option to connect it online when i lack wifi.

Finally Adaway (requires root), same as Adfree.

So I've just flashed OmniROM on my LG Optimus 4X HD (p880). Probably this is the first unofficial build, built from Gerrit repos, I'm really proud of myself. :p

I'm pretty impressed that there were only a few changes needed and almost everything works, only BT doesn't work (easy to fix). I really like the quick settings flipping and how it shows Wi-Fi IP address when flipped. :good: I attach some screenshots.
[General Omni Discussion] penguin449:
Is this build available for download? Really eager to try it out :D

And will you be maintaining for the P880 on a Nightly/Weekly/whenever flexibly based? Sorry for asking that, just curious :p
[General Omni Discussion] Adam77Root:
Not yet. It's not even built from published sources, though there isn't much change in published ones yet.

Yes, probably I will.
[General Omni Discussion] pulser_g2:
Nice to see :)

In terms of going forward in terms of builds, we will be addressing these issues when we can. For now though, Omni isn't "officially" released in any kind of binary packages.

When the time comes, we will invoke the release processes, which will give nightly builds, with a weekly "tagged build". On Omni, nightly builds are expected to be stable, and encourage bug reports on them. A "weekly" is just a nightly that is tagged as "working fine", for those who don't want to update every day.
