[Omni Q&A] SHAWDAH:
https://whispersystems.org/blog/cyanogen-integration/

The client logic is contained in a CyanogenMod system app called WhisperPush, which the system hands outgoing SMS messages to for optional delivery. The Cyanogen team runs their own TextSecure server for WhisperPush clients, which federates with the Open WhisperSystems TextSecure server, so that both clients can exchange messages with each-other seamlessly. All of the code involved throughout the entire stack is fully Open Source.

"All of the code involved throughout the entire stack is fully Open Source."

So any possibility of seeing this in omnirom?
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Hmm.

1) All of it would have to get reviewed for security. I know pulser has looked at some of CM's other solutions and found vulnerabilities.

2) Since it sounds like it needs some server infrastructure, it would take some time and planning before we could get it up and running.
[Omni Q&A] wkwkwk:
TextSecure definitely looked interesting until seeing that it requires gapps.
[Omni Q&A] SHAWDAH:
Yea its stupid, he partially justifies it here https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure/issues/127

He also said this

"If you want alternatives to things like GCM, you have to either build them or help the people that are. I would love to use a different push service, but they don't exist.

Likewise, if we want an alternative to Play, we have to build it. What exists now (f-droid) has a centralized trust model, so we're building something else."
[Omni Q&A] palpitations:
For whatever it is worth, Moxie Marlinspike has said that Open WhisperSystems has a TextSecure server that they will let other ROMs use. Sadly I am unable to link, but /r/Android/comments/1shejv/as_of_today_cyanogenmod_is_integrating/cdxlnck should give you the info and context you're after. I hope that helps alleviate some concerns, or at least makes this somewhat more doable--I would love to see this adopted much more widely!

I just wish they could add return receipt functionality, and fall back to SMS if data delivery doesn't provide one in a reasonable time frame.
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Ok, that's useful.

I'll let pulser do final judgement on this. He's our resident tinfoilhatter. :P

[Omni Q&A] pulser_g2:
Resident tinfoil hat responding to duty...

The issue I've seen with this system (and I must say, it is good that work is done on this, and I commend that it has been done) is the implementation.

Once again, a solution has been made, which is smart, has good features, but is crippled in the security area, due to making things "easy to use".

The specific issue is that, from what I can see, at least right now, there is no way to tell if a message is going to be sent encrypted or unencrypted. It's no good knowing AFTER the fact - you need to know before it is sent how it will be sent.

Additionally, if you are using encryption, from what I can see, the message is actually sent over the internet. This means there is a central repository of users stored on a server somewhere. That is centralisation, centralisation is bad... As I raised back at the time, there are side-information risks.

While the new implementation may well eliminate some of these, I am not convinced this system provides the level of anonymity that some may desire. My worry is that since the original idea was conceived, where a user's phone number being available to CM was not seen as a concern, that any solution has been architected without considering every aspect of security.

Securing correspondence via SMS would be very nice to have done properly. But this is simply a "hook", that takes what you *think* is an SMS, and sends it over the internet. There are plenty of people in the world (particularly developing nations), where they have poor, or limited, access to the internet. SMS can be a lifeline for them.

There are also many places (some incredibly large), which regularly and routinely block internet services they disagree with (not at all looking at China here...) - it is important that any system works worldwide, and is resistent to easy "blocking".

I would personally prefer to see the actual messages sent over SMS... That means if you have no internet connection, you can still send the SMS. And you can do so ENCRYPTED, rather than unencrypted.

At the end of the day though, until you can tell 100% whether something will be sent encrypted or unencrypted, you can't trust a system. The server operator may also gain useful metadata in this case (though not ideal, your carrier already gets metadata for SMS).

Tl;dr, it looks nice, but we need to look at everything here, and consider that not everyone has internet access all the time. After key-exchange is complete (I would like offline key exchange via NFC and QRcode (on the screen) as well, for in-person identity verification), we need to ensure that a user can securely communicate without internet connectivity.

Until then, this is just a smaller rival to iMessage. And hey, maybe that's a good thing... But for my money, it's not a secure SMS system...

Thoughts welcomed.
[Omni Q&A] slashslashslash:
Great criticism Pulser but surely this system (even with its flaws) is better than traditional SMS, where everything you send and receive is logged by your carrier?
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
The thing is, since everything is sent via the Internet, there are plenty of other existing ways to send encrypted messages over the Internet where *you can be sure the message is encrypted*.

Pulser touched on my initial concern (which I held off on voicing until he chipped in) - To determine whether to send a cleartext SMS or send the SMS via an Internet message, the app needs to know whether the recipient is "enabled" with this service. There are two ways to do this:

1) The sender explicitly configures the app to say that recipient Y is capable of receiving encrypted SMS

2) The app does some form of peer-to-peer negotiation

3) The app sends data associating your phone number with an account on another service to a centralized server. This appears to be what CM's solution is doing. Which is kind of silly - This is an app for extremely privacy-conscious people, that is enabling widespread data collection of mappings between a users' phone number and other accounts.
[Omni Q&A] optimumpro:
Stay away from this app and developer, who in my view, has been compromised. In the latest release (which I compiled about an hour ago), he removed the ability of the user to regenerate identity key. In the last couple of releases, the app would crash unless you allow it to use the internet. He also introduced Google Cloud Pushing services, which means that everyone who is using textsecure will be recorded in centralized Google/Nsa database. That is if you compiled the app from the source. If you download the app from the store, you wouldn't be able to use it at all without Google account and GSF. Having GSF defeats any encryption as every keystroke is recorded and regularly submitted Home (Google/NSA). Stay away and look for alternatives. I am checking Tinfoil sms app.

Yesterday, I was going to flash CM11.

After I flash boot.img of cm11 with fastboot, it can't return to recovery again!!:crying:

It only can boot into fastboot, cannot boot in to system or recovery, also cannot charging!!:crying:

When I want to flash back to stock boot.img, it said:

When I flash RSD, it said:

What can I do?:crying: Sorry for my bad English.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Can you try RSD using a different cable/port/computer entirely?

That's an odd and unfortunate error to receive. You put the device in fastboot mode before running RSD?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Arch@ngel:
Not Yet

Yes

At first, I put my PQ in fastboot mode and running RSD 6.1.5...

(asanti_c_sprint-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5-6-release-keys-cid9.xml)

...than flash recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.3-asanti.img with fastboot,

after that, Flash cm-11-20131209-NIGHTLY-xt897.zip and failed (2-3 times)

Than I take the boot.img from it and flash it with fastboot, at last: #1
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Ok, you should not have done the boot.img flash.. not sure why you did that.

Now, you should restore with RSD. It sounds like RSD has worked in the past, but is no longer? Have you tried multiple FXZ files? If you are downgrading, there are additional lines to remove from the .xml file.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Arch@ngel:
I restore my phone like this and it said:

PS: Not「Faild flashing process. 1/23 flash partition "gpt_main0.bin" -> USB error occurred while reading/writing.」like #1
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
Could be even an error on your HDD.

Try to do a deep chkdsk of your hard drive

chkdsk /f /r c: (assuming your main partition is called C: )

and / or try a different FXZ (say the ICS one)

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7 Model SM-T210

I've noticed every once in a while the screen shimmers from side to side for a fraction of a second - Has anyone else noticed this with their device and is it a sign of a problem?

I've had another Tab 3 before and it never did this. The model that shakes side to side appeared to be newer as it came with a newer firmware / ROM and it only needed to be updated once - my other Tab three needed 3 updates to bring it to the most upto date version, but this model also give faster speeds in benchmarking.

Hi Guys,

Quick question...

Has anyone else been having issues with their Internal SD card (the normal one you can access through MTP via a USB cable..) has slowly been disappearing for no reason at all. Shows i have 600meg free of 8 gig...

I search every folder that shows up using MTP via my PC using Windows 7... But heres the catch... none of those folders hold any of the data... (all up about 500meg is being used by titanium backup) Its like my Internal SD card has hidden folders or files on it i cannot see...

Not only that, but even if i search the phone using ES File Explorer with Root Enabled on it - i cant seem to find any folders or files that are THAT BIG to be taking up THAT MUCH space....

Any guidance on where this data has gone would be fantastic. As i am running out of ideas...

Cheers

So I'm trying to flash back to stock, however, my ADB stopped working. I don't know how long it hasn't worked because I flashed a ROM quite a bit ago and havne't touched it much since. I can get it into download mode or recovery mode but the phone won't recognize that isn't connected to the computer. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and also I tested adb on a mac (which supposedly is supposed to work out of the box 98% of the time) and it didn't work, which leads me to believe it's a problem with the phone. What are my options here? Do I need to get a external SD card and put the rom on there and flash from recovery? Because ODIN doesn't seem to even see my phone.

Edit: Also, I did the usual googling and trouble shooting. Developer Mode/USB debugging is enabled.

Version 1.0 won't install under WM2005 and you can't uninstall it off your device either. You will have to hard reset to get it off you device and then copy the cab file for 1.5 onto you device and run if from there. That the only way you will get it to work :D

I want to purchase a cheap phone for use as a media/gaming hub,I have my eyes set on a Droid x2 since im selling my atrix 2 and my droid 3 doesnt have sound over hdmi...

My plan is toload it with videos and emulators and roms and use my xbox controller to play games on my hd screen.

would this set up work? a phone that has an hdmi cord,usb to otg and a power cord plugged in at the same time?

I was just going to use the usb otg cord and a usb splitter,maybe a powered one.

I want to make sure before I buy the splitter and not waste any money.Im guessing if it works on a droid 3 or atrix 2 it should work on a droid x2,could be wrong.

So you used Odin and flashed your phone back to stock? No where in your post did you mention anything like that, or even allude to the fact that you flashed back to stock with Odin.

You screwed yourself by saying I wasn't be helpful and to stop the sarcasm. You want help, don't bite the hand that feeds you. Flashing back to stock is a very simple process and well documented here and in other Samsung device forums. If you can't figure it out on your own, pay someone to do it for you, and then leave your phone stock. Rule 1 of modifying your phone should always be know how to recover, which you apparently do not. And posts like the two you've now made in this thread are not how you get help, and will most certainly turn everyone else that may have offered it away as well, since you're apparently too good to do any work on your own and criticize people when they aren't spoon feeding you.

Hey you can flash Roms with 2.6.3.2 but I'll post a link for you in a Lil for 2.6.3.3...this one is a zip so just flash and wipe cache and davlik afterward.

Make sure you make a backup by going into recovery and clicking on backup and swipe to start. You should always have a BACKUP before you start flashing.
