[MENTION=4562719]The Peanut Master[/MENTION] Thanks for your feedback!

From the devices I've tested it on (which I'll list below) it consumes virtually no battery. For example, on my Motorola razr m (Android 4.1.2) I've been running AntiSnoop for 7 and a half hours out of 11 and a half hours total since my last charge. I've used 67% of my battery and AntiSnoop accounts for less than 1% of that.

I've had similar results on the Samsung Galaxy S4, S2, Nexus 5 and 7. It performs a check every second but obviously shuts down when the phone is not active.

Please let me know if it is less efficient for you.

Hello,

i searched a long time to find a app that just logs if someone is doing something. (I dont need a photo, IF someone is looking at it, i know who it is^^)

It seems like this is exactly what i'm searching, but to bad its not possible to get it without a google account. Is it possible for the snooping person to track that app? I mean, is there a Icon in the Status bar? Or if he look at the active tasks?

Oh, and maybe a download link without google?

Edit- I received a response from the developer. He was out of the country so he was delayed. He is working on fixing the problem.

The app is still as great as it ever was.

if only i had known about this app before lol
[Android Apps and Games] TriPpE:
Edit: Misunderstanding

Edit: dev got back to me. He was in the process of moving. The big part that bothered me was the lack of communication. Which I understand that happens when moving.

Problem was fixed.

Thanks dev, sorry for being pushy.

[Acer Iconia A500] Thanatos81:
Hi gals and guys,

I tried to recover my A500 to stock and apparently screwed up a little. I now am stuck in a loop at the Android logo. Apparently my wipe wasn't clean, because I do see lines about "/data/app/com.elevenbitstudios.anomaly2Benchmark-1.apk" in my logcat.

So, I do have ADB set up and runnning using Linux Mint and do feel savvy enough to tackle all this. I just need some pointers where to start and how to proceed. I think first step would be to wipe all data using ADB and try if it does boot up. If it doesn't I'd probably need to push a stock ROM using ADB?

Any tipps and pointers will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peterfran2112:
Hi All,

I'm a little new here but I've done a lot of searching and haven't been able to find anything recent on this topic. From what I can see there has been no progress unlocking the bootloader to flash custom Roms on the i545vruame7 s4 in a few months. I just got my S4 yesterday and when I received it, it already had i545vruame7 installed. I am able to gain root access but not unlock the bootloader to flash any custom roms. Have I missed something? Is there any way to flash back to the old version?

Thanks,

Peter
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bjoostema:
Welcome to the S4! So long as you are not on mj7 firmware you can still install Safestrap which allows you to run touchwiz based ROMs. Just search for it in development. If I'm not mistaken, it works with the Google Play Edition ROM too, so you can have a little bit of AOSP goodness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bradh024:
Just to be curious, where did you get your phone from?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peterfran2112:
I ordered it from Amazon, brand new for $49 using my Verizon upgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peterfran2112:
Thanks for the info! I've been thinking about getting involved in the development side, I develop android apps but have never touched anything as far as Roms and bootloaders. I just want it working so I can install CM on my phone so I figured it might be worth a shot.

I installed Safestrap and then stupidly tried to flash a rom slot with CM 10.1 which didn't work. Is there a list available anywhere of touchwiz based ROMs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bradh024:
I ordered mine from best buy, im really hoping it doesnt have the update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peterfran2112:
Please let me know, I have 15 days to return this, I could always return and swap for a bestbuy version if it came to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bradh024:
What you have, I believe is the best your going to get until somebody figures out how to crack the bootloader. Im hoping the phone I ordered is running the same software that you have on yours.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vantt1:
My dad decided it was a good idea to cut off the S View cover of his S4 with a Stanley knife, because it was "annoying and always in the way, waving around in the air".

I will begin the dissection when I have time. Stay tuned!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] worktorest:
Why would you get the S view cover case if you didn't like the flap?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] richii0207:
They sell the battery covers cheap online :P
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vantt1:
I personally like the S View cover, so after a bit of thought, I'm going to postpone dissecting it because to me it seems like such a waste.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nunjabusiness:
From the looks of your pictures, that ship has already sailed.

It's not like you can reattach the front in any kind of esthetic way.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vantt1:
Wasn't my idea...

I still have the original battery cover.

You're right. I don't even have an S4 anyway. I'll cut it open tomorrow.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vantt1:
Nothing special. There's a small magnet along the left side of the cover, which I'm guessing activates the S-View mode. The cover itself is very tough and very hard to separate, so I quickly gave up. The whole thing is probably made from the same material as the clear window.
[Omni Q&A] jab2870:
Hello, I am new to the community and although I have flashed loads of roms to various devices this is the first I have tried to build from source.

As it says in the title I am trying to build for my Oppo find 5 which there is a nightly build for, I wanted to try and build from source though.

I have set up the build environment as described on the omni website.

I have followed a set of instructions but when I come to build using

brunch find5

i dont get a zip in the out folder. I do get the following notes though in the terminal after the build.
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Those errors are meaningless. Post the full log as an attachment please.

Although I'd suggest reading through the errors first - the first skill anyone needs in Android development is the ability to look through a log and analyze what is what.

At the very least you might've forgotten envsetup. You probably forgot to pull blobs with extract-files (or finding them through some other source...) too - nearly everyone does.
[Omni Q&A] jejecule:
Hello Entropy,

I have an issue too when building find5 KK. In fact no really building as i manage to get the homemade zip file, manage to flash it, it boots ok, everything is working except that my radio is not recognised so no IMEI and no mobile network, wifi is ok. Here is a link to my own build witch has exactly the same size in KB that the official nightly. Strange stuff is that if i flash the official nightly over my build then no issue, and the radio is recognised.

Blobs are coming from donkey github

I tried to flash from aokp 4.3 build, then also from Color OS, same result.

Flashed maxwen radios 4.1 and 4.2 over my build same issue

I'm building from virtual box ubuntu 12.04, JDK 1.6 update 45, on a Mac.

The only thing i see that may be wrong is that at the end of each build before the package is delivered i see no radio.img found, skipping install, but i've read that it was coming without radio.

Tried to add a line in the build.prop to disable selinux "ro.boot.selinux=disabled" i did not help.

I use maxwen TWRP patched recovery, but also tried with last cwm recovery and same result.

With the same build environment i manage to build I9300 omni kitkat without issue.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Many thanks in advance, and also thanks for the great job you all with Omni:good:
[Omni Q&A] maxwen:
hm - that actually sounds strange

sounds like wrong blobs - are you are really using the ones

from donkeycojote
[Omni Q&A] jejecule:
yes i'm sure. i was first using the one from themuppets github, then Guillaume advised me to use the coyote ones. Size of the find5 vendor folder is 40,1MB, 132 files. Strangely i had this issues with my last 5 builds, but with the today one, problem disappeared and now my baseband is recognised and everything ok, though i still have this no radio.img message at the end of the build.

Really strange indeed i hate not to know what was the issue :) Anyway i will build again tomorrow and let you know, Chasmodo from Asylum team is also helping me a lot in understanding some stuffs as i'm a new and noob in building:)

One question about blobs: when i try to extract it from my device, it works when i run an 4.3 aokp build but then i get error in building. If i try to extract blobs from omni 4.4 (official nightly) i get some access denied on some blobs and then also some errors in the build. No issue with coyote ones though.

Many thanks for your time mate!
[Omni Q&A] jejecule:
So guys, my problem with find5 modem seems to be fixed, no issue with today build neither. But.....now facing exactly the same issue with jftlexx(i9505)...

Build went OK, blobs from coyote, flash and boot OK....but no modem again, I may be do wrong stuff when flashing or missing something.

Before flashing I always do factory reset + wipe system, then flash build, gapps(pa ones mostly) + supersu.

Same repo, same vendor, I9300 OK but manually added local manifest as in your tuto.

Rebuilding atm:)

Thanks a lot :o

Hi, I have a chinese phone with MTK6572 called Y9190. Some weeks ago I installed the Xposed Framework to install GravityBox, Swapper 2 and Link2SD. One day later, my phone was rebooting by itself (with the screen off). I tried to factory reset: same problem. Reinstalled Xposed, and uninstalled the framework... same problem. Sometimes I'm using the phone and some blue lines appears on the screen: the phone crashs and I need to remove the battery and put it again to turn on the phone. Yesterday I was using WhatsApp and I saw an Android message crash with android.process.acore, but I dont know if EVERY crash is related to this android.process.acore.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klovn:
Hello,

I'm in need of some clarification regarding TA backup. After reading several threads I came to the conclution that it's best to backup TA before unlocking bootloader and so on. Current build is 257 without any modifications made.

Since I can't backup TA without root and cannot root without flashing from 257 to 532, is it possible to flash 532, root, backup TA, then flash back to 257 and restore TA backup? I'd imagine that they have information about my phone being 257 when it was shipped and refuse to repair the phone.

Did some searching and couldn't find an answer to this.

Guides I've had a look at:

Flashtool guide.

How to root 14.1.B.2.257 using OTA
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You won't lose your TA, so you can downgrade and root as much as you want. The only way you'll lose your TA is if you unlock your bootloader, which you don't need to do when you just want to root. You'll have to unlock it if you want to flash CM, PAC or other custom ROMs.

Downgrade to 532, root, backup TA (just so you have it), update through OTA to 257 and you're done.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klovn:
Excellent! Thank you for the clarification. TA has nothing to do with the build then?

Also, is there any disadvantages to this when it can be restored to original state with the backup? Thinking about unlocking bootloader etc later.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Correct, your TA folder has your Ultra's unique DRM keys etc. and it's tied to your device itself and not the ROM, so you can go ahead and flash stock ROMs as much as you want without worrying about it.

And no, there are no real disadvantages to it. The only thing that will be changed after unlocking it is that X-Reality will no longer work, but it'll be back to normal once you restore your TA and relock the bootloader.

- Factory reset from bootloader ( i can enter bootloader without problems and does not freeze). No succes.

- Flashed new factory image using nexus root toolkit. No succes.

- Power on while sim tray is removed. No succes.
