[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shofar1:
Just got a notice for a 400+MB software upgrade.

I'm guessing that it is 4.4

Using the Spiegen Slim Armour View that I got about a month ago.

Is it still problematic?

Are there any other issues with 4.4 that would encourage me to stay with 4.3?

I haven't really heard of the great advantages of 4.4 other than having the latest.

Thanks

Hey there,

I really have a question for you guys. To be honest, I am sick and tired of my galaxy s3 running slow and blocking all the time with the official android release. I want to install something like the pure android experieence (kitkat), like on the nexus 5.However, I have no idea what to do. Can anyone help, or will installing a simpler android (like a stock version) not help with "fluency" of the phone?

Thx in advance :)

Hello!

I am a huge fan of HTC phones because of Sense, specially the Car app which is way better than any free or paid car app in playstore.

Now I am very tempted to switch to Sony Xperia Z1 or even wait for Z2, though I want to know if you have any Car app or Car mode in the Sony's UI?

Benefits of a Car app/mode is that music,navigation,automatic calls... integrations are tailored for driving experience.

Hi there,

this is my first post bu I have been playing with my LG L5 e610v for long time. I have had installed CyanogenMod 10.1, 10.2 and 11.

This last time, I came back to the stock rom and now is impossible for me to boot into CWM.

I have tried:

Installing a KDZ with a rooted stock rom with CWM

Copying using adb and dd command many differents CWM images (6.0.28, 6.0.4.7)

Using rommanager app

but always the result is the same: I boot to recovery and it gets stuck in the LG logo. I have to switch off and switch on again and the stock ROM starts again, but no way to boot CWM.

I have tried even overwritting emmc_appsboot.img, but no results.

Please, could you help me? I need CWM for installing CyanogenMod again.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -CALIBAN666-:
try this,extract cwm and copy the image file to your internal sd card,open terminal emulator and type following line

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

than enter

after this type reboot recovery and your phone reboots to it
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithasyou:

I really dont understand. copying the img using dd works only 1 time. The second time, If I tried to boot (using key combination or writing reboot recovery in the terminal emulator) it gets stuck again in the LG logo. I have to copy again the image for start CWM again...

Any ideas why this is happening?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -CALIBAN666-:

Potential Security Problems?

I was looking through the smalicode/javacode of the app, and it seems to be using Java.util.Random for Pseudo-random number generation of passwords and whatnot... While there's nothing wrong with that if you use this app for daily use (EG: settling arguments with a coin flip), perhaps it might be better to use something like java.security.SecureRandom for the Password and Dice roll activities.

Great app BTW!

Hi, Guys thanks for the feedbacks. I have updated the app yesterday with Random Time / Position Feature.

You can try reinstalling the app, and if does not work, I truly apologize. I am still researching a way for that crash problems occuring in 4.4 versions with the random image. PS I already have the permission to read external storage. Thanks again guys!
[Android Apps and Games] ahow628:
It would be nice to have a human generation option. So basically, you would have a "scribble" area where I could run my finger around and generate some entropy to compute the random number/shape/letter/etc. Then it wouldn't necessarily have to rely on a computer algorithm for randomness.

I know TrueCrypt does this when you encrypt your hard drive. It has you run your mouse around for a few seconds to get entropy.

As more and more users bring their own devices to work, there's a greater need to keep work apps and data separate from personal ones. Note 3 users will get an extra helping of privacy and security with Samsung KNOX, which launches a protected environment called a container where users can run business apps and store business contacts without exposing their personal information to a corporate IT manager.

The Note 3 also comes with the Find My Mobile feature that enables users to disable the device if stolen or misplaced. It also prevents stolen phones from being factory reset and enables remote tracking. Users can also remotely erase the phone's data.

How to secure my own android app from hacking?
[Security Discussion] Jooztk:
It may be good to specify what you want to protect against. Do you want to make sure the data handled by the app cannot be accesed/altered? Do you want to secure the connection to a host? There are multiple guides available for secure coding, including the Android Dev site: http://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-tips.html

Good luck.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
Ok, lets get some clarification. Reverse engineering? Or exploiting a vulnerability?

Protect from reverse engineering? Not possible. You can use something like Allatori, DexGuard, Dasho etc to make it more difficult to reverse engineer but it is impossible to stop it. An experience reverse engineer will rip through it. Don't believe anyone (even Google) if they say ProGuard makes reverse engineering impossible, or more difficult, it doesn't.

Protect from exploitation? Use best practices when writing the app. Network traffic? SSL with certificate pinning. Attacks against components (services, broadcast receivers etc? Don't export unless absolutely needed. Use the least amount of permissions needed to accomplish your goal. Maintain the absolute minimum permissions for files, they dont need to ever be world write-able. Injections? valid and sanitize input. The list goes on and on. Get someone knowledgable in the area to do an audit of the app if possible.
[Security Discussion] danelab:
There is dirty trick here. You can move some part(logic) of your code in native lib. It will complicate the decompilation. Because not so many reversers familiar with arm assembler. But I'm agree, it's not possible to fully protect app from cracking.
[Security Discussion] Wasim625:
Its simply impossible to protect your app from reverse engineering.....
[Security Discussion] BitGriff:
Java bytecode can be easily decompiled.

It's possible to use obfuscators to make it difficult to reverse engineer bytecode.

But, it doesn't give 100% guarantee from reverse engineering - decompiled code will be just messy.

Android development tools include Proguard obfuscator - you can use it.

The best way to protect code is to move some parts of it to native part (NDK, C++).

Best regards.

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

I agree with you, that not many people know it.

But, Arm assembler is easy to understand. If somebody understands x86 assembler, he can understand Arm assembler too.

IDA is a great tool for reverse engineering. If you have understanding of Arm assembler, you can use IDA to check how it's hard to reverse engineer your software.

Some tips:

Don't make simple to understand function names, such as checkLicense, isLicenseValid, isTrialValid, isItemBrought. Make names, that will confuse. For example: function that check license or trial will be loadIcons or something like this.

Don't make functions easily to patch. For example, your function check if item in your game is brought, and it returns bool. Someone can replace a few asm instructions, and func will always return true. It's better to make not only one check from different places. If one check func is patched, others are not. And it will make your app cracking more difficult.

Scramble strings. Strings, such as urls, message texts, log messages, can make cracking more easy. For example, your app gets the list of brought items from your server. Server url can be used to identify the place, where check is performed. Cracker can reveal logic and patch your app. The same is with messages and log messages. These strings can be used to identify place in code and what your app perform in this place. Make xor for all chars in such strings, and it will be more difficult to find it.

I hope this help you.

Ok, I have been seeing that many of the members are facing problem in installing USB VCOM driver in preferably in Windows 8. Before you go for installing USB VCOM driver you first have to disable automatic driver installation otherwise your OS might install wrong driver from the net and then you would keep waiting after hitting download button of SP Flash Tool.

How to enable/disable automatic driver installation for Windows 8

Description: How to enable or disable the automatic driver installation feature in Windows 8 for newly added hardware.

1. Right-click on Computer and then click on Properties.

2. Click on Advanced system settings.

3. When System Properties opens, click on the Hardware tab.

4. Once in the Hardware tab, click on Device Installation Settings.

5. Once the Device Installation Settings window has appeared, click on the radio button next to No, let me choose what to do.

6. Once No… has been selected, there will be three new options that appear below the previously selected choice. Click on Never install driver software from Windows Update. The check-marked box next to Automatically get the device app and info provided by your device manufacturer can be left checked.

7. Once all the changes have been made, click on Save Changes to save all the settings changed on that screen and then the screen will close.

8. Once back to the System Properties window, Click OK to save changes and close out of System Properties.

Once you have followed this tutorial, you have to follow another tutorial so that your OS can install Unsigned drivers, follow this tutorial.

Now you are ready to install USB VCOM driver.

Download driver from links given below:

For Window XP, Vista and Windows 7 (Thanks to bhargav1991): http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1786965&d=1362676523

For Windows 8 (Thanks to Kumar Abhishek): http://www.mediafire.com/?7yee2of64nhl947

1. Take the battery, SD card and SIM out of the phone

2. Open device manager (on computer search it or control panel)

3. Holding volume+ connect it to PC via USB (once you hear a sound from PC you can release Volume +)

4. In other devices MT65xx Preloader

7. Right click MT65xx Preloader

8. Go to update driver

9. Locate the drivers provided according to your OS (XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8)

10. And let it do its work.

You might have to reboot your system after installing VCOM driver, to confirm connect your device once again without battery and see if you something like "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port" means your driver is installed properly if you still see "MT65xx PreLoader" you have to repeat the process.

Remember the hardware in the Device Manager is visible for few secs only.
