[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justnewsp:
I do a lot of Android app testing. I use my regular phone, where I have my contacts and my regular gmail account. I never used a credit card on this account.

I mostly use APK files to install the apps.

I have 2 questions:

1. can an app display some permissions when installing, but have others hidden permissions ?

Example: instal APK file > says permissions "Network access" and that's it.

Can this app also read my data or make phone calls, even though those permissions were not displayed ?

What is I use an app to display ALL permissions ? Can it really display all or is there an way to still have hidden permissions ?

I use Android 2.3.7 root and 4.1 no root.

2. Can an app make unauthorized hidden operations, like place phone calls or send texts or steal my gmail password ?

Like I said, I never used a credit card, so at least that's not a problem.

But I have my SIM card - can an app place a value added call or SMS (I don't know the exact English term - expensive call), without me knowing about it ?

Or compromise my Gmail account ? I have an alternate email for recovery.

Thanks for your help.

Hi guys!

What is the best web browser for Jamin?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] srmz:
My vote goes to Netfront 3.3. This is the only browser with:-

1) Support for flash sites

2) Support for Java applets of almost the same level as a regular Windows PC

3) The only browser whic can handle file attachments at the Hotmail site.

Opera 8.60 is maybe a bit faster but lacks all the above and if these are not important for you then maybe you should go with Opera.

Regards
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Rayan:
Neftront is really nice and all, but I'm still having some issues with it on the Prophet (S200), where it always lag for a few seconds right after a page loads.

If I want to browse more quickly, then I use PIE enhanced with PIEPlus addin.

Best regards,

I have the same issue with Opera 8.60!!! Anyone else with this problem?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] poo1009:
I don't like Opera 8.6 very much!!!!

cause during loading the page there is a status bar at the bottom of page and I cannot slide the horizontal sliding bar until page completely loaded!!!!

That's mean for desktop-like mode I cannot look to the right-side of web page by stylus!!!!

I already removed it from my Neo.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Markino:
What is PIEPlus addin? WHre can I download it?

Thanks!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] krale:
Well, iphone-forum.org is a great forum. Just search for PIEPlus, you will be surprised ;-)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] laich71:
Is PIE Enhanced a seperate program or part of PIEPlus? If it is seperate can you give a link to it please.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Rayan:
Sorry, english is not my primary language. I should have said "I use PIE, enhanced with PIE Plus" or "I enhance my PIE with PIE Plus" :wink:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfranchize:
So i accidentally wiped the system using twrp. But i got it to work by using a usb flash drive n flashing a custom rom from there (paranoif android) And now ive been getting random reboots and crashes. I also flashed franco kernel. Also some system apps will not work properly, such as the calendar app. And i was thinking maybe thats because i wiped the system. Now i want to revert back to stock kikat without losing my root and unlocked bootloader. Im quite new to flashing roms and i find it easy using twrp. So how do i go about reverting back to stock, to see if those random crashes and reboots will go away?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisloco:
Try re-flashing another rom, as PA is a beta ROM, and thats where you may be having your crashed apps
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
You can always flash the factory images here: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701

You can flash any ROM and that should fix your issue

You will not lose your unlocked bootloader unless you flash the stock one which is in the factory images
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Your bootloader will not relock unless you lock it yourself using fastboot. Flashing roms or factory images won't lock it by themselves.

And even if it somehow did, one fastboot command and you're unlocked again.

And as far as root goes....it takes 5 minutes to reroot.

So just flash whatever factory image you need and then custom recovery, and you're done. Maybe need to download superSU from play store after. ;)

Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfranchize:
So i just flashed purity rom, and im still having the same issues, but the crashes and reboots are less yet their still there. Maybe reverting back to stock rom will do the trick?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
The crashes and reboots are because you didn't wipe data/factory reset and also didn't wipe dalvic/cache...

If you're keen on using a custom rom follow these steps:

1. Head over to recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvic/cache

2. Flash rom.zip and gapps.zip

3. Reboot!

Initial boot can take upto 10 minutes sometimes so be patient...

If you want to go fully stock then follow this thread:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfranchize:
Sorry if i did not include this on the op, but everytime i were to flash a rom or gapps i would wipe data/factory and dalvic/cache, since i had those issues i even wipe internal memory just to see if the problems were there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisloco:
Maybe your flashing a bad version of GApps since the force closes are on google Calander?

Are you using a 4.4.2 GApps?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfranchize:
Im on cataclysm now, and i believe no gapps needed since their included in the zip. Have had about 3 reboots, i believe their because of playstore downloading an update or something, and one caused by either bluetooth or hello messaging app. But who knows. Just one more thing, by me accidentally wiping the system shouldnt be the cause of my random crashes and reboots?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Why don`t you backup your user apps and data with TB and start fresh by flashing the stock image, reroot and reflash a custom rom in recovery. This will eliminate all errors and reboots.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfranchize:
Sorry but how do i do that? Im really new to this, i had someone else root and unlock my bootloader for me. How do i flash the stock image then root?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Read this thread http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905 well and all should be pretty easy.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfranchize:
Okay cool, do i just skip the bootloader part right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Yes, just flash the factory image (flash-all.batt) in fastboot, reboot and setup the phone. Flash a custom recovery and flash the superSU.zip (1.94 is the latest).

Okay ill give it a shot, thanks alot. Ill update here if im successful.
[G2 General] reas0n:
Hello!

At first, I'm not a developer, just a normal user who is interested to use his device in 100% :D

Personally I have an 16GB version D802. As some people see, after flashing an AOSP ROM near 2GB of /system storage is free and unable to use. So that's why I'm interested, whether any developer works / wants to work on it. It would be awesome to have this space available, and maybe if we could change the file system to F2FS (or sth better that I don't know)?

Thanks in advance for the discussion, and if I placed this topic in wrong section, then please move it to the proper place, cheers.
[G2 General] SnakeHaveYou:
I think it is possible.. Look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

And a month ago, i flashed a 16GB kdz, and my 32GB was converted to a 16GB one..

Repartitioning fixed that..

But, from that list of partitions, seems that won't be easy (well, if it's possible)
[G2 General] reas0n:
I see that [MENTION=2413393]Shelnutt2[/MENTION] helped him, well, i see that resizing wouldn't be so hard (i think), but changing file format will be way harder.

I'll PM Him.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
this its old thread but did you find anything about it on the s2 we did repartition we had 2gb for system some made a 1gb or 1.5 gb then 5gb for internal and about 8-9 gb for apps.

am also having about 2.1 gb there doing nothing. but seems nobody has done it yet..

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] TabGuy:
I have a bluetooth question and it's not specific to this tablet. And, it may not be fixable. I leave bluetooth on all the time for all my devices. It's necessary for keyboards, car stereo, etc.

I have my main bluetooth speaker paired with my phone (a Note 3) and my Note 10.1. However, when I turn the speaker on it automatically connects to the phone. This is a problem because the phone may be downstairs while I'm upstairs with the tablet. I want to play music from the tablet but find I have to go downstairs and turn off bluetooth on the phone and then go back upstairs to play music from the tablet.

Is there a way for me to force which device gets control of the bluetooth speaker? Can I send an I-want-the-speaker command to the phone to have the phone release it's stranglehold on the speaker?

It's frustrating behavior having a speaker that doesn't do what I want. Yeah, I could buy a speaker for every floor but that's not the economical.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lecorbusier:
You either have to switch BT off every time, or the speaker. If you switch off BT on the Note, the speaker may enter standby, and you have to activate both the speakers and Bt the next time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jonling:
Unpair the phone. Use the 10.1 for a minute then pair the phone again. That will probably give the 10.1 preference.

Any comment on it being in there somewhere?
[Moto X Q&A] cellzealot:
No, the Programming Menu has been removed from the X since 4.4. If you use an app like Activity Launcher you can see that the only option that is still available is BP Factory Reset activity and it fails when launched from the Intent/Activity directly. Since these are the only Moto devices officially on 4.4.x builds we can't be certain if it is removed/disabled on other models yet.

I tend to doubt it.
