Your useless answer is unappreciated. I asked two simple questions and you answered neither.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The fact is you can't disable it. The answers I gave are perfectly valid if you don't want want the ability to mount the sd card via the lockscreen. If you're allowing your phone to get into a position where someone can access it like that then what I'm saying is maybe you need to reassess the level of personal security in regards to the device.

Now that is an appropriate answer. Thank you.

The main topic question was "why?" Why this change in behavior? What's the philosophy behind it?

I remember CM9 behaving like this in certain versions, but then it went away, and I never had it in any CM10 versions until now. It's like the developers can't decide how they want it, or it's some sort of mistake or bug.

It isn't the fault of developers here, I believe you can thank Google for that feature.

If you want it to not be like that, go and decompile some file and change the permissions.

[Xperia SP General] yo-meister:
Since having an xperia arc, I have used system tuner pro/es file explorer/titanium backup in order to remove system apps.

However in CM11, I have been having difficulty removing system apps, I get the messages "could not remove application" or "failed to remove application" etc etc depending what app I was trying to remove things with.

I've just discovered why this happens and how to solve it easily.

This may help others in same situation.

So from what I've read, Kitkat has introduced some security features... I'll cut and paste the rest.

Remember to go say thanks to the dev!

"There are lots of folks around who already has KitKat on their devices. But kitkat comes with new secutity enhancement, SELinux, put into "enforcing mode". Maybe This thing is good from the point of security, but it breaks some Root Apps, like my Ultimate Dynamic Navbar, so I created this app.

What does it do? This app can change modes of SELinux:

Run app, give root access, select the mode you want SELinux to be in(permissive or enforcing) and that's all. Every time you reboot your device app will execute the script to change SELinux to the mode you've selected. Simple and stupid."

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoib:
Is there any way of bringing back features like text wrapping, tap-to-zoom (without the stupid "tap three times and move around to zoom") and other features browsers once had before the update to Android 4.4? I'm currently on 4.3 and I'd like to go back to a Kit Kat rom, but not if completely ruins my web browsing experience. I use Boat Browser, and a lot of essential features were missing, like Flash, and the button that would go all the way to the top or bottom of a page while scrolling. Additionally, whenever I try to open a link/image in a thumbnail on another tab, it only gives me the link of the thumbnail which is infuriating. I understand that a lot of these things work in Dolphin Browser, but I don't like it very much. Is there any ROM that doesn't have the awful browsing experience, is there any way of restoring it through root?

[LG Optimus G Pro] NuclearWynter:
[FIXED]

After installing CWM via FreeGee on my G Pro F240L, the device became softbricked (booting only into CWM). I tried various methods to unbrick. including the R&DTool flashing method, but encountered various errors, including the infamous battery error. When I looked at the device this morning, however, it had rebooted itself overnight and was now stuck on the LG boot logo, with the following small text in the top left corner:

Secure booting Error!

Cause: boot certification verify

The device no longer appears to be recognized in adb from my PC, and though it is still capable of booting into download mode I have had no luck with the methods posted by others for bypassing the battery-level error in the Support Tool/flasher. If anyone could help, that would be immensely appreciated.
[LG Optimus G Pro] chdrummerdude:
Can you still get into recovery? And when in recovery does adb then detect the device?
[LG Optimus G Pro] NuclearWynter:
No, I can't enter recovery, the only method of modifying firmware available to me seems to be Download Mode.
[LG Optimus G Pro] chdrummerdude:
So you have tried flashing back to stock using the flash tools? It's not ideal but it get the phone back up and running. I own a e980 so im not familiar with the battery error you speak of.
[LG Optimus G Pro] NuclearWynter:
Yep, tried several variations of the flashtool method. The battery error: at about 50% through the flashing process, it throws an error essentially saying the phone's battery needs to be at 100% in order to continue, problem being that the error comes up even when the battery is at 100% - and also comes up if I try with the battery removed from the phone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] NuclearWynter:
Has anyone experienced a similar issue? I'm getting quite desperate.
[LG Optimus G Pro] chdrummerdude:
Man if you could just get adb enabled.
[LG Optimus G Pro] NuclearWynter:
That would certainly make things easier, but it seems impossible to do seeing as the phone either can't boot past the logo, or only into Download Mode.
[LG Optimus G Pro] bor3d2damax:
Add my e980 to the list =/ just hit this problem as well. I have it worse though since I don't have a windows PC. Can't even get into recovery. All I get is the Boot up screen with the same message you received.
[LG Optimus G Pro] muzairnawaz:
hello

i have f240l i returned back to stock backup which i made CWM i received an OTA i accepted the phone restarted and after that its stuck in recovery mode only. what can i do to make this work again
[LG Optimus G Pro] Syed W:
I also used Freegee and it messed up my device. I don't think this tool works correctly for the OGP (e980).

Can anyone tell me if I can get back to the AT&T stock ROM using TWRP ? If so, how?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] black@pirate:
What is so beautiful about IOS UI that android can't match? :confused:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] X-thunder:
First of all: It's just a design and UI-design question. Many users are used to that UI and prefer it. I like some ideas of the iPhone, some dont, so i personaly got a mix of iPhone and Android design.

How to get an (almost) full iPhone UI:

1. Download a launcher of your choice in the app store. Search for "iOS 7 Launcher". Try more than one, most of them are free.

2. Download Apps like "Hi Music" or "Compass (iOS7)". You won't get a iPhone feeling without the "real" apps.

3. Download Apps/Tweaks that give you further capabilities a launcher can't achieve; like the ControlCenter. Search for that in the App Store as well.

Of cause, there are some Roms which incude all this, but its so much easier if you just install a launcher(and KitKat 4.4, because its the smoothest and you can use your own SMS app).

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midnight_bacon:
I was on Malladus 1.2.5 and after noticing how often lag persisted I decided to flash back down to 1.2.4. I flashed that along with gapps, lgapps and the declutter menu to recent button.

Once everything was finished I booted up my phone only to have to it shut back down. It displays the LG screen for a quick half second then shuts off. When I connected it to my laptop it asks me if I want to format Local Disks G all the way to the letter T. So every single letter is seen as a local disk. There is a local disk F but that contains one folder of images with a bunch of stuff I don't understand. ADB doesn't pick up the phone. Did I **** up?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markrulesallnow:
If you know how to boot into recovery, do that. It seems like if you're getting the LG boot screen you should be able to reboot into recovery. After you're in recovery wipe everything but internal and flash again. make sure u flash in the right order as per Malladus directions.

Hello Everyone!

So today I went online to the google play store to download an app, and noticed there was a random device (Samsung GT-I9300) showing up in the drop down menu. I went to device manager and it says it was registered 4 days ago with T-Mobile. There are a number of issues with this:

wooki, do you have a pointer to where you got yours?

I found a keyboard cover for my wife's Galaxy Note 8, it's a decent one with solid keys and scissor-action switches. I would love to find one designed specifically for the XZU.

I considered similar sized devices which have keyboard covers available, which might be used.

The Galaxy Tab 3 7" is about as close in size as I could find but bigger:

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5422&idPhone2=5540

and there are keyboard covers for that. You'd have to make a sort of shell/frame for the XZU to fit in which makes it the same size as the Tab 3 7".

The Samsung Galaxy Mega is a little smaller:

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5398&idPhone2=5540

and I found a keyboard cover for the mega from the same seller on ebay & amazon
