[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oy-ster:
Thank you very much!

There are however some problems with those options...

Viber/Line/WeChat- What is less intrusive about them? (if anything I see even more permission demands).

Hangouts- Same problem, plus it's Google (the less information they have the better).

Kik- Now that was a somewhat promising candidate but after researching a bit I found that it secretly saves all your contact data on their servers ( http://dcurt.is/stealing-your-address-book ), a fact that make me suspect they do more surreptitious things as well.

Also, I was told that it cooperates closely with the police/inteligence agencies/other goverment institutions... so that makes me suspect them even more.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
It was only suggestions coz I don't use this king of apps.

Have you ever heard of XPrivacy?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oy-ster:
Oh sure, didn't mean to make it sound like I'm complaining or anything, I'm grateful for any suggestions (which I want more of :) ).

Yeah... It's a root application. Unfortunately rooting is not an option, the device must stay intact as recieved. That is why I'm looking for an app that I can trust to begin with...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Good luck ^^. I think all mainstream apps require almost the same permissions.

I have attached the permissions requested by Telegram app, the russian Whatsapp :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jckhng:
I'm not sure if telegram is good. The tech press were giving it quite a bit of coverage previously because it is meant to be secure and encrypted.

But I have not yet tried it!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oy-ster:
Thanks,

Telegram is a good suggestion but I'll pass on that too, due to: a) apparently it is actually more problematic than Whatsapp security wise on some aspects (stored messages), though much better on others ( http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/49782/is-telegram-secure ), and b) I still don't like some of the permissions ...

I was wondering... my searches led me to this app called Surespot ( https://www.surespot.me/ ), putatively it seems like a convenient solution and it is ostensibly open sourced... The thing is, I have no idea how to evaluate its trustworthiness. True, it requires fewer permissions, but better having an intrusive legitimate app than a privacy conscious malware :P.

At least with whatsapp I have some trust in the publisher not to cross several lines (ie. abuse his permissions) while the other program... Opensource- sure, but how many people actually bother to inspect it? And warn others? And can the code be remotley changed? (though I suppose it is a security flaw so it should be warned about)...

Anyway, thanks and would appreciate more suggestions. :)

Check out WICKR. Super slick and ultra secure. :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oy-ster:
indeed I checked it. I don't know, less than 5000 downloads...

Its an unknown publisher with closed source code... Don't know if I like it.

Plus, apparently there is all sort of criticism about its claimed security precisely because of the closed code.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dee_kh3:
Hi All,

I have recently bought Moto E, need help on the following items:

a) Looking for a good back or flip cover; preferably a flip cover. Can someone help in getting this in India.

b) When we access apps the background becomes blakc, can we make this transparent so that we can view the desktop wallpaper etc.?

Thanks
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5225837:
First of all this thread should be in Q & A and not in general.

Regarding flip cover I have no idea. You can check Flipkart for it. But if you want back cover than go for amzer. I am currently using it and its good.

You can't change the app drawer background to transparent. Use a different launcher for it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eavesdrop:
I came across to this question simply because I thought ES-Player + MX player can do it perfectly for me but instead it disappointed me. It seems like the throughput that SMB is using is limited because it buffers for like every 3-5 seconds so I'm looking for an app that will give me better results. So guys, suggest me an app that will work perfectly.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you're using MX player and your files have DTS 5.1 audio, you would need to install the additional codec via the MX player menu to get things to stream properly.

MX works great for me from my NAS

I think these are the settings. You'll need once you have installed the neon codec
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eavesdrop:
I don't have problems on the video itself, the problem is with the es file explorer. It's SMB buffers alot to the point that the video isn't watchable anymore. What are you using to stream to your phone?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I just browse to my NAS in solid explorer, click a video and watch it. If you're watching videos over the network though, you will still need to do the above settings in MX player because otherwise you will get an unwatchable and jerky video due to the Audio problems

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoaudio13:
Hi all,

I found that the Waves MaxxAudio on Oppo find 7 is very interesting. ummmm...is it possible to port those on G3 ? I guess it does neeed a specific DSP chip to run on ? Please enlighten me!

I think the G3 does neeed a huge audio processing correction. Headfone audio quality is way too crappy. I'm using ViperFX with paid Waves IRS but i think it just induces too much latency :(
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepezpz:
That is too bad to hear that g3 has crappy audioquality... Even with Viper? Do you have hi quality earphones or those that come with LG g3? I really need phone where is good audioquality because i listen lot of music with spotify, already ordered this phone.. Damn! The sound quality is worse than the Galaxy s4?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoaudio13:
It does not sound great. S4 does have Wolfson DAC as far as i can remember. G2 and G3 come with Qualcom base DSP so thats normal if it sucks. Im using Senheiser IE8 for the headfone but it just doesnt feel right. I also experienced the same with LG G2 ( probably with all android fone ;P ). Maybe im just asking for too much there hehe. Anyway, i hate latency. If we can bring Waves from Oppo Find7 then i would love to try too. My works involve alot with those Waves plugins and I think they r doing great job in DSP realm.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] rbanavara:
Service provider normally sends 2G / 3G settings as a service message. I was able to access it from my Messages app on stock SGR rom. I am now on omnirom. I have received message from Vodafone that "save the settings you receive shortly". But either I have not received that at all OR I dont know where to look for it (its not under cell broadcast). Can you please help me to find that (or does this not work for custom roms).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] rbanavara:
I have sent the message requesting the settings. I have just received the mesage that says the settings will be sent shortly and to save that. I have not received the actual service message itself.

(on the stock rom though there was a menu entry to check for service messages, which is missing in the messaging app that comes with omnirom)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mane:
Hi all!

Don't know, if this is a "feature" of WM5 or of the Prophet/neo - or of O2 ...

Factory state was, that inserting an SD Card with an Autorun.exe (in folder 2577) on it didn't launch that Autorun - as it *did* on my old XDA II.

Comparing the two units, I found out, that on the neo there was no CheckAutoRun link in \Windows\AutoStart. After creating that (linking to \Windows\CheckAutoRun.exe) the next card-inserts worked like expected, the Autorun.exe really did it's job.

*but* after some time (and changing cards) it stopped working again somehow. Obviously the CheckAutoRun was stopped by that automatic task manager of the OS. A soft reset made it work again - for some time. :confused:

Is there a special setting (Reg?) that I don't know of, which would prevent the CheckAutoRun from beeing stopped?

thanks!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Strange. On my Jamin (original i-mate ROM) there never was a problem with autorun. I have the IGO navigational app which uses it and it never failed to start after card insertion. I checked, it doesn't add anything special to windows\startup or HKLM\Init so I think this may be a ROM specific problem.

Unfortunately I don't know of a way to keep CheckAutoRun.exe running.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] mane:
levenum, a - very - late "thanks nevertheless".

Meanwhile I even tried to enter CheckAuto.Run.exe in HKLM\Init - which didn't work at all. In windows\startup it at least works sometimes ... maybe it's really the ROM, if you say, that on your device, there's nothing explicit; maybe some other exe in one of these autostart places does the job?

Funny, obviously I have a "newer" ROM than you:

2.15.4.29 GER from 3/9/06; ExtROM as 2.15.4.115.

That's the originally delivered, from O2.

There's another thread, where the question is nearly the same, but for another exe - will keep an eye on this, too.

[LG Optimus G (International)] optimus975:
Thanks a lot again.

Just one last query - Do you think I can compile these as modules for other non-lg device (just to test, i don't want to break my phone straightaway) and install them to enable the knock on/off feature, or are these hardware dependent modules?
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
well.

since it's lg g2 code ported to OG, my guess is you can. If the sensor are the same or respond the same way. Nothing like trying.

Worst case scenario is : you'll just have to reflash everything.

EDIT :

seems it's already been ported.

[LG Optimus G (International)] optimus975:
ok..brill. one thing though what sensors do you think it's using...i guess touchscreens should be more or less similar across the manufacturers..

i guess this is just a workaround to get the feature...not really a kernel mod...

[Verizon LG G2] trungbeo:
Hi

I'm using a VZW G2 VS980, on 12B. I rooted it, install CWM with Simple tool V3.2

I installed Cloudyfa 's CloudyPro 2.2 (KK), all the steps are done correctly, it worked but a little buggy.

The stupid thing is I tried to restore the phone with CWM from the backup (of the 12B rom), and now it stucks in the boot LG logo. I can still access CWM though, works fine.

The question is: should I sideload another ROM (or recovery - KK based) and go from there to save time or go back to stock (11A)? And then how should I procceed to get a latest custom KK rom?

Thanks guys
[Verizon LG G2] Esteway.619:
Flash cloudyfa Rom again so u can boot up and download a jb baseband and flash that. Wipe as normal then restore your jb backup.
[Verizon LG G2] trungbeo:
Hi

Thanks but I tried that, stucked at LG logo too...

So when I restored from the backup, the baseband is still KK? (I flashed KK baseband before flashing cloudy)
[Verizon LG G2] staticx57:
You need both a JB backup and be running the JB baseband. If you did not explicitly install a JB baseband and restore a JB backup you have one or the other but not both.

A trouble I had was even though I restored the JB baseband and restored a JB backup it still didn't boot and that required dirty flashing my ROM over to get it to work.
[Verizon LG G2] trungbeo:
The thing is I'm trying to get a custom KK rom that works, I don't want to go back to JB.

So should I go back completely to JB (like you said, falsh JB baseband and restore) or somehow flash another KK rom?
[Verizon LG G2] :
from what is looks like reading the post is your still on the wrong radio
