it's not that towelroot, was **malicious by intent** ;

i don't believe so, it was coded with good intentions, it's just had, a nasty side effect; in a nutshell -

". . .the app runs some code, the code crashed [sic] android and leave it confused, in its confused state it thinks that the app should be root, then the app installs something to allow other apps to become root..."

‘Towelroot’ exploit reveals security nightmare for Android

me.. i like to understand HOW things work, see & study the source of why it fails, or why it does things better than whatever, before simply adding it in, w/o any understanding at all of how it work.. that's just me...

like if i'm to modify the radio on the nexus 5, do i understand HOW it works better than the older or newer radio? .. many would ask "should i"?

just take it on word from others that it just works, or an issue is what it is, ther's no way around it...

sorry, i'm not built like that..

Hi,

Where I download source of exploit using CVE-2014-3153?

Thanks

Alex
[Security Discussion] ZaraByte:
Anyone happen to know where a public exploit for this can be found searched google mainly sites that talk about it but it doesn't appear to be public so i assume its still a 0day.

Guess i better check my servers kernel version and see which one my vps is running i never checked but i was curious to see just never got around to it im that lazy to ssh into my vps.
[Security Discussion] xKroniK13x:
I couldn't find the source to any, but it would be simple to check your kernel version and update it!

Received 1/8 2100 version two days ago, today i tried to root with Omate TrueSmart Root Tool 1.2.1 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2713183 ) but i after done, it freezed at Boot Logo.

I tried to revert back following this step ( [GUIDE] How to "UnBrick/Return to Stock" your Omate TrueSmart Watch x201 )

but no luck :(﻿

The big problem of mine is i did'nt backup using mtktools. Instead I made a backup via Root Tools itself only.

The 3 IMG files i have right now is cache.img, system.img, and userdata.img which i supposed it's usabable.

I knew i feel dumb by not backing up first. But please if there's any solutions/steps i can bring it back?
[Ornate TrueSmart] elsabea:
Don't worry friend, my also have 1/8/2100 version and faced the same problem from 3 days. try to flash the following firmware backup using SP Tool with the same procedures in the ([GUIDE] How to "UnBrick/Return to Stock" your Omate TrueSmart Watch x201) but by using this firmware. Also, be sure first to install the ADB drivers using windows 7 computer. If you follow these procedures exactly everything will be OK and also you can get the last update by the OTA

Thanks my friend. Now up and running. The big problem is my build is 20140513. I tried using any other version with no luck. But i just got one from a kindly user in G+ and pushed via SP Tools.

Please once again new users dont took wrong step like mine. Do backup if u have never done it.

Hi, i also bricked my omate without backup, stuck on boot logo. Can you tell the exact process you followed and share all necessary files. I have been looking at all forums but wasnt able to find resolution. Thanks a lot for your help. I have the 1gb/8gb 2100 version

Morning All,

I've searched for this - but can't find anything.

I do quite alot of texting, and find the phone pad input with t9 predictive text best most of the time. But that awful tone it outputs on every button press is driving me mad! Does anyone know how to turn it off?

I'm guessing it must be a registry setting somewhere?

Or even better still. Anyone know of any third party phone style keyboard inputs which support predictive text, but with bigger buttons (which you can turn off tones!) which I could use instead.

I really miss being able to do easy one handed texting, and would love an easier input method....

Thanks,

Paul
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hanmin:
:)

On any form of input, click on the little 'up arrow' (e.g. the one which lets you choose the input methods that you wanted to use). Among the list, like "Keyboard", "Block Recognizer", there is an "Options..." at the top. Choose it.

Then, choose the keypad input method at "Input method:" and click on the "Options..." just at the bottom. Uncheck the "Turn on screen tap sound".

Actually I find that useful. Difficult to know if you have pressed the right button on a flat screen without tapping sounds.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Rutter:
Fantastic! :o

So obvious - now I feel silly for not noticing the options option :oops:

Hi all!

Which applications do you use to save RAM on your i9003? (launcher, keyboard, mail, calendar, IM...)

Wich system apps can be removed without resulting in a system hang up?

I wanted to know your experience regarding resources optimization.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
Performance:

Android Assistant

MinFreeManager

Ext4 (GB DDLF2)

Custom Kernel (GB DDLF2)

Launcher:

Nemus Launcher

(But the included is very good too)

These are my main settings for almost every rom and device.

On Nameless i add:

Greenify and xPosed

Apps that can be removed:

- Calculator

- Browser

- Talk

- Maps

- Gmail

- Layar

- Samsung Apps

- Street View

- Email

- etc

I dont remember all the apps in Nameless Rom.

Jusr let me know their name ill let you know if you can remove it.

It is possible to remove almost every single one - Except system related (ofcourse).

Ive given up Nameless Rom because it is very demanding for our i9003. It drains battery ultra fast! But it is a great Rom. But i want to use the device and not let it in standby. (LoL)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JollyGreen527:
For some reason my screen won't shut off when I press the power button or by itself after any amount of time. I made sure all of the settings were set right that might keep it on. I know it's not hardware damage because I've pretty much never dropped it or handled it hard. The power button still works because it will get the turn off, restart, etc screen to go. Any idea how to fix it? I already did a factory reset.

Dial *#0*# check some test for dimming, sleep etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahkiongkc:
Download wakelock detector and see which app is keeping your screen on.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JollyGreen527:
Dialed that number, the dimming worked, but the sleep button didn't do anything. I'll try that app out and see what it says.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdomadia:
In my understanding *#0*# dialing is for hardware check, if sleep is not working from there means it has nothing to do with any app & better to take to service centre.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JollyGreen527:
It didn't do it until after I tried to change my boot screen. Know if that would do anything? No boot animations go off besides the galaxy note 3 one (no Tmobile or samsung animation, and no shut off animation). I also rooted it so would they still help me even though the knox counter is 0x1?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JollyGreen527:
Any help? Using the wakelock app it says that system manager application is used a lot more than anything else. Not sure what it does.

to solve the problem plug the charger and unplug it immediately and plug it back in again. This is also the reason why the problem is caused. So doing it again will solve the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RioPalmares:
I would like to buy Note 3 n900t unlocked version so as to use it with Straight Talk carrier (using AT&T towers) on LTE data speed.

Will it work?

Or perhaps I should buy n900a version? Unlocked? Or not unlocked is ok?

The main issue for me is to get LTE data speeds.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ac3theone:
It should work, I actually just did the same thing, and Im going to unlock it myself, my tmo note 3 should be coming by Saturday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RioPalmares:
Well yeah, but if n900t is already unlocked so it must work with Straight Talk ATT sim by no means?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
It will work on Straight Talk AT&T. Just make sure you get the Micro SIM card so it fits. All you'll have to do is input the correct APN info after you sign up for the service. I had to switch to Straight Talk after I got scammed on Swappa. The service in NYC is not so great. I actually decided that it wasn't worth it to pay $50 for what I was getting, so now I'm just using my Note 3 like a tablet. :(

I hope it their service is better for you/in your area.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RioPalmares:
Well actually I'm thinking about buying n900a unlocked. I'm having StraightTalk ATT sim card, and ATT has best LTE coverage in SFBA, a lot better than T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Well, either (N900A/N900T) would work on Straight Talk. You will probably have an easier time finding an unlocked T-Mobile version though. And whatever you do, make sure you protect yourself. Plenty of people have been scammed when trying to buy unlocked Note 3s.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RioPalmares:
n900t unlocked is more rare and more expensive than n900a.

What do you mean scammed? They were promised to get unlocked version but it turned out to be locked?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Really, I would have thought the way AT&T locks down their devices there would be less of them floating around.

I got scammed on Swappa. So did other people apparently (via Swappa and Craigslist). Basically I bought my T-Mobile Note 3 on Swappa from a person with a perfect rating who assured me that the phone was not on EIP/stolen. Turns out is was and he wasn't paying, so T-Mobile blocked it. Swappa and Paypal were useless in resolving the issue. You can read the thread here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2605960

Boy did I learn a valuable lesson. My last 6 phones were bought either on Ebay, Craigslist or Swappa. No more. My next phone is coming direct from T-Mobile or the manufacturer. It's not worth $100 in savings to deal with getting scammed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RioPalmares:
Oh yeah, but it is how it is on eBay at the moment.

Well the scam you described sounds seriously.... I'm going to buy my phone on ebay and buyer accepts 14 days hassle-free returns.... will it be enough to verify it's not stolen etc.?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Even if the seller on Ebay has good reviews, I would still be very cautious. The way these scams work. it can take weeks or months for the device to show up as being non-payment in the carrier's system (or the person can just wait to report it lost or stolen). I bought my Note 3 from Swappa in November and it wasn't blocked until late January. If you do some searching, you might find some threads that help you stay safe, and tell you how to reduce the risk of getting scammed when using Ebay, but for me the risk is too high now. Once you get burned, it just sucks balls and you never want it to happen again. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RioPalmares:
Have you ever thought to sell your Note 3 to another country where blocked IMEI means nothing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Yeah, I thought about it, and still might. But I will lose money if I sell now, so that's why I want to wait a bit until at least I can get my next phone. By the time i'm ready to sell it, the price won't be different than if it weren't blocked anyway. By September, when Samsung releases the next Note, all Note 3s will be selling for 350-400.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RioPalmares:
Well yeah, probably you're right.

I just bought mine n900a for 475$.

But Note 4 would cost no less than 800-900$ I guess, especially in the beginning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] andrewnelson23:
Got my N900T for $350 last week from a guy off Craigslist, only has some scuffs on the sides that you can't see with my case. I had to pay to carrier unlock mine since it was on 4.4.2 tw. Slapped carbon on it and it was running fine on hspa+. I've been on Straight talk for about a year now. Ordered an LTE Sim the other day and got free next day shipping. Literally took me five minutes to get LTE up and running. And it is beautiful.

And cheap. :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mircury:
Most of the time the scammers will wait for the dispute period to end with paypal, which is 45 days, and then leave you high and dry.

1. Buy direct from t-mobile if you can.

2. If you are buying from a local person/craigslist, meet at a T-mobile store and ask an agent to check that it is free and clear with no outstanding payments due. Most of the time if the person is not trustworthy they will not meet you at T-mobile.

If the phone is blocked no amount of begging or pleading will get T-mobile to unblock it. It has been tried over and over and they will not allow you to pay any unpaid balance. The only one who can do it is the scammer who is long gone at that point.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] payitforwarddiy:
I seemed to have lost my double tap Home to recent apps.. I just went from NuSenseSix ROM 6.1 to 6.8 clean flash, factory reset, wiped data dvlk and cache/ formatted data. Updated the radios and am on the required TWRP..

I tried to set it in Gravitybox Navigation keys actions but still no luck.. I also didn't install the Motion Gestures with Free Your Mind (subsense).. I tried with it earlier but it didn't work so I reflashed everything again.. Several times trying to pinpoint the conflict..

Thanks for any help!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
The Motion Gestures only need the in included kernel, Xposed, and Sense 6 Toolbox now.

There is no need for subsense.

As for the recents option, it's because you did not choose stock button configuration in aroma.

So you lost that buttons option in settings.

If you did chose stock button layout, then it will be in button settings to reassign it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] android06:
gonna flash that rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] payitforwarddiy:
Thanks I noticed in your changelog and posts that I wouldn't need subsense.. Could you remove it from the OP about Motion Gestures?

In aroma, I have been choosing the stock button layout and tried it again with no luck.. but you gave me an idea so this time I chose logo2menu and I have it back!

Thanks for quick response, I've been using your ROM since first released it and love it!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] payitforwarddiy:
*Update** so I was adjusting my Gravitybox sense6 toolbox and trickster and ended up losing my double tap to home again.. But I did a few things right after that seemed to have fixed it but I'm not sure exactly which did it:

1. In sense6 toolbox> sense mods > unchecked Reduce gap

2. In Gravitybox > Navigation keys actions > Under Home Key > Double-tap action > chose Show recent apps

*note: this didn't work for me when I had chosen stock button layout in aroma installer

3. In trickster under Specific > Screen Wake Control > turned off Sweep2wake, turned off Logo2wake (this might've been already off, not sure), and turned off Logo2Menu. I left Pocket detection and Logo2Menu on

Everything seems to be working fine now :)

I feel like what I did in #2 did the trick seeing as when I initially installed with stock buttons all the adjustments I tried to make didn't work.. But this time since choosing Logo2Menu in aroma I was able to fix it..
