Thanks for pointing that out.

I agree with you , eWallet is now off my list.

The other option I am looking at is instead getting Sentry 2020 which creates an encrypted mount. Then just have my sensitive info in Excel spreadsheets on that mount encrypted. Perhaps the encrypted mount can be my external storage card.

http://www.geek.com/hwswrev/wince/sentry/index.htm

Any opinions on this ?

Gut feeling , CodeWallet seems best all rounder so far.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mobiler:
hey linuxgeek

from my own personal experience, I've used many encryption programs and found all to have flaws except for this one: CryptoStroage which I eventually purchased.

It's key benefits is unlimited size - most other programs have limits of a few Mbs. with this program I can mount a few houndred MB volume on my SD Card where I put all my scanned documents in and view them with acrobat reader.

Another key benefit it has a desktop version so you could use the same volume to mount on your desktop pc. very neat, instead of going to the ppc each time. It is the most fast I've tested and is super easy to use. It looks like another SD card storage.

I think I've tested Sentry 2020 and found it was inconvenient for me.. but i'm not sure.. I may have not tested the recent version so I don't know. but I see Sentry costs $50 and Cryptostorage costs $20.

Let me know if there's something else i can help you with.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] LinuxGeek:
Great tip thanks for that.

Cryptostorage looks fab , definately going to get it.

Do you think its worth getting CodeWallet also or shall I just get Cryptostorage and like metioned earlier keep all my info in excel/word files inside the safe ?

Thanks for all your input.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] LinuxGeek:
Looking at Cryptostorage website it doesn't mention it works with Windows Mobile 5 .

Are you or any one using on a Universal with WM5 ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mobiler:
Hey,

Yes it works on my Universal just fine. I found it to be the most convenient program among the encryption programs.

I do suggest getting Codewallet as well. It is not convenient to mount a volume each time, then fire up excel if only to check for a password. I personally have all my passwords, maybe a hundred stored with Codewallet and I also enjoy the Desktop version, which is easier to use when working on the desktop PC. I use my wallet file on the Synced My Document folder and then the desktop version and the PDA version are synced with the latest wallet file each time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] LinuxGeek:
Thanks for reply.

I am moving towards getting eWallet and using cryptic category names because of its 256bit encryption.

I am definately going to get Cryptostorage too now that u confirm it is fine under Universal.

Thanks for all your input mate.

Anyone used cryptocard? I've been thinking of changing from myCodes Lite to this. myCodes seems OK but is a little slow.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mbirth:
Anyone ever wondered, how comes that CodeWallet can sync your Desktop/Mobile wallet without any password entered?

I guess they encrypt the data by record and keep a timestamp unencrypted. But this way if you often use the same login name and have many similar forms (Username, Login, URL), an attacker could get the password somehow, I think, since there is always the same beginning of the records.

It's something like security vs. sync-without-password-prompt. Where as 128bit RC4 isn't "strong" encryption nowadays anyways. I'm a bit concerned about the *real* security of this app...

Cheers,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mbirth:
CodeWallet insecure

CodeWallet now is a NO GO for me. Found some patched EXE-file of its Desktop-version, where you can enter *any* 3-digit password to open your file. This is not security, this is INsecurity par excellence.

Cheers,

UPDATE:

- Windows Mobile Security Software fails the test (info about header-copy to open files)

[HTC One X] Gluon2:
Please look into this guys;

Last night, I charged my HOX from 18%-28%, used it for a few minutes and then turned it off (it was still at 28%). I then plugged it into the HTC "black box" usb charger (I've been using the same one since I got the phone like six months ago) but turned on charging after 2 hours - and left it charging for like 6½ hours.

EDIT: My brother actually switched on charging two hours after I switched the phone off. [IT WAS TURNED OFF FOR 2 HOURS]

In the morning, the red LED wasn't on, so I disconnected it and tried turning it on - it didn't work.

I tried holding all three buttons for minutes and all of that, but it still didn't work.

I googled the issue and went through a bunch of threads where the exact same thing happened, and most people said the battery either died permanently or something similar. This one person said he fixed his HOX by using a different charger, apparently the chargers themselves can die.

I plugged my HOX into my mom's Samsung charger, and booted it into bootloader, and selected RECOVERY. After a few minutes and to my orgasmic relief, my phone turned on.

I'm still confused as to what happened.

1) Is there something terribly wrong with my phone's battery now? (When it turned on it was at 1%, whereas I turned it off 6½ hours prior at 28%)

2) My HTC black box charger is obviously not to be used now, right?

3) Is there any problem with using a samsung charger on my HOX from now on? Or should I search for another HTC Black Box Charger?

I'll leave it on charge until it reaches around 60-70% and test it out, and let you know if it's fine. But until then, could you please try answering my questions?

THANKS!

On a side note:

I recently had my HOX repaired at the UK service center under warranty. The phone actually had a bunch of issues; yellow spots on the screen, the ruined wifi antennae thing.. Well, they replaced the screen and display, and replaced the Wifi wiring. When I got it back, it turned out that they forgot to remove a plastic cover from the in-call speaker. Thus I cannot use the phone for phone calls outside of extremely quiet places, unless I use earphones with a mic. I let HTC know this, and they said, "Oh, no problem, just send it back to center"

I reside outside of the UK. I had to send it there with my own money and bring it back with my own money. So now I have to choose between spending another $90 or being able to use my phone for phone calls.

Thanks again, whoever bothers to read this and helps me :D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PulpDood:
Hey guys, just wondering if any of you have tried running PPSSPP on your z2 yet and if you were having any problems.

I can't seem to get Tekken 6 running at a playable speed (it runs at an average of 65% speed ingame). I can get it to sort of run fine when I turn on 7-8 frameskip, but then of course the framerate suffers to compensate...

I've tried many settings and have made sure that power saving features are deactivated... Could this be z2 specific or am I just missing something (I'm really hoping it's the latter)?

Cheers

P.S. (P?) Fwiw, I can get 3D Android games running fine (e.g. Spiderman 2, Prince of Persia Snf)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauliebb:
Ppsspp isn't that optimised yet... You're mistaking emulation with native Android code when talking about running the Android games.

Basically, ppsspp is taking psp game data and translating it to Android code to make it run... Every single bit of data.

This requires huuuuge cpu usage and is the reason it's so slow.

Tl : dr: no... It isn't yet possible to run most psp games at full speed, especially not extensive 3d ones like tekken.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PulpDood:
Thanks for the reply. I totally understand emulators will never be 100% compatible and perfect, even on high end computers just as lossy compression will never be a prefect representation of the original product.

But after some internetting, I found that PPSSPP seems to be able to run at least Tekken 6 at what seems to be close enough to original speed on most mid-high range phones. Examples:

Tkn6 on SGS3: http://youtu.be/t4lw0OexO3Y

Crisis Core FF7 on latest HTC M8 (which has pretty much the same processor as the z2): http://youtu.be/8mH1Z2cebpY

And many more videos of phones running Tkn6 just fine: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=y...Z04H4BQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=348&bih=409&dpr=3

TL;DR: PPSSPP seems to run Tekken 6 and graphically similar games fine on most phones, even those with inferior as well as similar specs to ze Z2, yet I can't seem to replicate anything close to the same speed let alone the same. :/

I bet there's just a setting that I stupidly forgot to change somewhere... Might try downloading Crisis Core and see how that goes.

EDIT: Hmm actually it seems Crisis Core runs fine. Guess it still could be the new CPU/GPU.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauliebb:
Wow... That s3 video of tekken6... I'm amazed.

Did you try replicating his settings shown at the beginning?

If not it could simply be that it isn't ready to use our phones full power yet and just got to wait for a few updates.

Or something somewhere is bogging the cpu down
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsacha:
Hi, I'm a PPSSPP developer and I'd just like to say that Tekken 6 is one of the hardest PSP games to emulate along with God of War.

You definitely need to have the latest version of PPSSPP from the download page, ppsspp.org/download and not just the one on Play Store. You also need to make sure you have the settings that this person was using in his video. Turn on all those speed hacks and make sure you're not turning on extra graphical effects.

Many of those settings aren't enabled by default like using multi-threading, disabling fog,.. They make a huge difference.

Then it will run at full speed.

Tekken 5 runs much faster by the way. You will be able to run it full speed without any speed hacks and will even be able to run it in Full HD with large textures.

Why don't you flash dn3 v5 for n7100.... it has S5 features you want
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
Hello guys.

I would like to ask you for help with my bricked Homecare. I apparently cocked up the flashing process and now I don't know, how to proceed.

What I did:

At first I used the Russian (translated) version of supertool designated for Homecare Note 7. But the process wasn't 100 % successful. The bootloader has been unlocked, CWM recovery has been flashed, ROM 4.3 has been flashed. The tablet was able to boot, but it always froze after a few minutes of operation. Most probably there was a wrong boot flashed. No idea.

So, I checked the forums and RootJnky's videos and decided to use CWM to flash a deodex 4.3 stock ROM.

Flash process was successful, but after restart the tablet remains in boot-loop.

Now, I was NEVER able to enter the Recovery or Bootloader using the button combination. Don't ask me why, but it wasn't possible. I could however access recovery or bootloader using ADB.

Right now the only status except a boot-loop is the APX mode. Is there still a chance how to unbrick the tablet???

Thanks for any advice.

Jaro
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] e8hffff:
At worse case scenario you need to use APX mode to reflash. You can get the download references for the APX files, particularly the package from Advent UK. The package is setup for Windows but it's easy to use in Linux with their executables.

The APX mode does reflash your tablet in whole, but the end result may not be perfect, but should allow a stepping stone to fastboot mode.

If you can obtain 'fastboot' mode then your can reflash partitions. The 'adb' mode in recovery level or system level will allow for updates with 'sideload' command.

Hope that helps.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
@e8hfff I managed to sort him out yesterday using the APX method the use has now got it working, with no issues at all (WiFi works as well).

The only thing different for him is that his Generic bootanimation which Xolo Tegra Note 7's have is now showing advent.

I will send you a PM in a bit out the bootanimation as i have a idea LOL.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] jardam.cz:
Hi hacktrix2006.

Thanks for the help again. The tablet is working like dream. All my Chinese colleagues are staring at it. The poor guys know only the products of the fruit company (Apple).

I saw the boot animation is a set of pictures in the flash package from Advent. It is ZIPed.

Is there any way how to make and flash a boot animation without reflashing the whole thing? (I know the answer already, but I don't know how to do it :DDD)
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
The bootanimation.zip is in /lbh partition under media. Should be a easy enough to copy and paste in if not then i will have a look for a way of doing it without flashing all of it again.

Docs on Homecare Fly One rom update

Hi jardam.cz AND hacktrix2006

I see you guys have a working method to update the Homecare Fly One - do you have any documentation on how to root and update the rom for this model? Jardam mentioned a Russian rom, but it caused problems. I really don't want to brick this, as I live and breathe with this tablet every day! But I can't stand the limitations of no root.

Almost all the YouTube videos show EVGA solutions, and lots of people have Homecare Fly One problems - what's the solution please? :confused:
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] hacktrix2006:
They are all the same base nvidia model which is p1640 the lbh partition is wrote when flashing via apx mode which can be risky. However there is a twrp recovery for our device and a stock 4.4.2 image from tom you can use to flash a generic version if the os.

I was on 98.18.94 and updated to KK 182. I froze system apps and it refused to boot. Then i RSD'd to 98.30.1 and that gave me the KK 183. update. NOTHING on the phone changed. Bootloader still unlocked and everything. I believe they're pretty much identical and it doesnt matter which update you take.
[Droid RAZR M General] Murph28:
I was kind in the same situation, I was on 98.18.94, but was rooted and couldn't take the OTA. Used House of Moto to go to 98.30.1 and then was able to take OTA. I still have the original KitKat OTA Blur_Version.98.18.94.XT907.Verizon.en.US.zip that I pulled before going to 98.30.1. Are you saying I should be using that version 182.46.10.xt907 instead of 183.46.10.xt907 since I originally had the 98.18.94? Any idea what the difference is between the 2 versions?

Hell yea! Completely appreciated. This update has been a nightmare given the multiple OTA updates depending on previous version. The FXZ makes all that go away.
[Droid RAZR M General] Murph28:
I was originally on 98.18.94 and rooted. I ended up using House of Moto to install the 98.30.1 because OTA failed. I was then able to get the OTA. The OP is saying I should be using 182.46.10.xt907 version and not 183.46.10.xt907. So if I go back to 98.30.1 can I then install the correct OTA, or is there a place to get the file to downgrade to my original version? I went to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ and it did not have my version to download.
[Droid RAZR M General] SamuriHL:
Since the FXZ for KK was posted, I've updated my thread with instructions on how to use it. I'd just flash that and call it good. The whole 182 vs 183 nonsense is a red herring. There's no difference between the builds except the build number and signing keys. Personally if I still had a Moto phone I'd be sticking with the FXZ path regardless of what anyone says.

[Droid RAZR M General] lem22:
That's odd about XT905 (since neither the Electrify M, nor the Aussie Razr M got KitKat yet - they're both can be XT905 for some reason), but yes, you could try to flash again via RSD Lite for a cleaner system. It doesn't matter if it's 182 or 183 though, as it's the same version.

OT: But for the Electrify M which is XT901 an update is announced at Moto's site now.
[Droid RAZR M General] SamuriHL:
Exactly. The version number matters not. But you can try it anyway. No idea what's up with the model.
[Droid RAZR M General] aviwdoowks:

Does sb. Know what these partition are good for?
[Droid RAZR M General] SamuriHL:
If you're on KK, unlocked can downgrade all but the gpt and tz partitions. This is why I created the RSD Script Generator utility so you can generate a UNIVERSAL script quickly and easily. If you're locked, can't downgrade once on KK at all, even if you use my universal script to upgrade (I had someone try it).
[Droid RAZR M General] razor411:
I still dont get what these partition are good for. Is there some information somewhere?
[Droid RAZR M General] cellzealot:
Those partitions contain all of the most sensitive components of the boot security on the device as well as the precise memory address locations for the partitions on the raw flash device. Your phone cannot boot without them and any corruption would create a true brick...a device that does nothing and requires a factory blank flash to restore it.

That is why they don't want you messing around with them! ;)
