[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Depends on what firmware you're on. Do you what you're on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ryujeff:
Because the kernel isn't supported for the 4.4.2, you can't use any CM or AOSP based roms. well, you can use google edition roms... goto the SGH-I337 general forum and look for the "all things NB1...blah blah blah" thread and find out which firmware you are on and follow the instruction.

[LG Optimus G (International)] itsdacj:
Well..obviously the phone doesn't come with root..so its not broken at all. Some stock ROMs don't allow 4G since maybe your carrier doesn't support the bands supported by the phone, although its the international one.

I have bought cingular 8525 with 1.6 version but its locked.Can anyone tell me how to unlock it free with no hastles. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] staulkor:
Do you mean you have a bootloader version 1.06? If so, that is what I just did about 2 days ago.

Simply go to the TyTN wiki and find the list of ROMs. Get the Cingular ROM version 1.30 with the 1.04 boot loader. Flash that, do the unlocker thing that is stickied in the upgrades forum for the Hermes, then you can upgrade to whatever ROM you wish. I recommend the 1.09 bootloader ROM by HTC. It has the best performance out of all of them and it is now possible to downgrade if you want again.

BTW, once you unlock in 1.04, it stays with you nomatter what ROM you flash.

Good luck :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
Not true.

Once you CID unlock, you can flash ANY rom, but bootloader 1.04 will not stay.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maritimesbob:
I don't know much about rom development, if anything.

Curious, is it possible for an aosp based rom to have certain sense apps installed. Ie, an aokp/cm base that uses the aosp system menu, status bar but can use the sense dialer, contacts etc?

I have no idea if this is possible. I have seen "hybrid" roms but they all seem to be Sense based roms that have been debloated and removal of some sense apps. I was hoping to go the other way if that makes sense!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Had you searched this out you would have found that the answer is no. Sense apps need HTC Sense frameworks and without it they dont work and AOSP uses a completely different framework.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jsanchez2180:
I'm having trouble reinstalling my paid applications. At first I can successfully install and use them but after a few minutes I'm getting a message stating that the application is not licensed and will nor run. This started after I updated to the latest NF9 software with root and un tripped Knox. I was restoring applications with titanium backup and was receiving the same problem. Then I tried just restoring the normal unpaid apps and then manually downloading my paid ones but it resulted in the same message. Titanium also stated that my android ID has changed but I have also tried changing it to the older ID and still resulted in the same message and with titanium losing its pro key I'm unable to do much without. I'm sorry if I just mumbled throughout this but what I'm Bratislava trying to do is hey back the use of my paid applications or to successfully change back my android ID.

Hi, i want to know how to delete apps permission

Thanks
[Security Discussion] EuphoricEuler:
As far as I know this is not possible in standard Android.

Google did have an attempt at this with AppOpps, on 4.2 but removed it in current Android.

There are Apps on google play that claim to be able to do what you want.

One I know of is called PrivacyShield, search on play store for it.

Regards, Euphoric
[Security Discussion] walid77dz:
i will test it, thanks
[Security Discussion] Zwulf:
The most complete solutions I know for this purpose are XPrivacy (I prefer) and DonkeyGuard from PlayStore. Also you should consider using MinMinGuard X-Posed module. Your device should be rooted.

With AppOps you can not block permission to apps to read IMEI / device serial.

[Security Discussion] papa_Lutz:
And what do you think about the "reintegration" of AppOps in CM ROMs?

worth trying or not secure enough?
[Security Discussion] Zwulf:
Atm I also use a CM-based ROM with CM Privacy Guard (which is nice indeed and easy to use) but personally I prefer XPrivacy, because with CM Privacy Guard it's also not possible to hide IMEI / serial (Android, device) from apps. Depends if you mind / don't mind to give apps a possibility to connect collected data to a unique ID which belongs to your device. I don't want that. But if you don't mind because there is only few data the app can collect while it's restricted CM PG will be allright.

[Security Discussion] exebreez:
Your Options are:

AppOps

This is just an Ad-Blocker. It's nice, use it myself, but you can't compare it to privacy solutions.

[Security Discussion] cliffreich:
I'm pretty new on developing stuff, but i know there are permissions that look "more than necessary" but actually some libraries need it. For example Google Maps V2 will require External access storage, and one app like mine with few downloads will look kind of suspicious (GMaps will cache their maps in there and will crash without any solution). Some image downloader libraries also require this for cache and so forth. Android permissions are declared in the Manifest file and can't change.

Any way, of course there are a LOT of harmful apps, but you mostly can tell if they look dangerous :) but I'll try this to check apps behavior.
[Security Discussion] henry0504:
Search for "permission manager" in play store. Its pretty nice!

BTW my miui has built in permission manager like that
[Security Discussion] Zwulf:
Permission manager (PlayStore) = AppOps.

The LBE Security Guard built in in MIUI is very nice - but it, as well as AppOps and CM11 PG, still can't hide device serial every app from PlayStore requests. I think this is done by Google, not the app(s) itself. See picture below. [Gerät = device]

Edit: If you have installed a lot of apps (like me... >300) it will take you a loooong time to set permissions in AppOps, because you have to do it manually for every single app. In CM Privacy Guard you'll get pop-up windows for requests so it's much easier to use. First thing to do on CM-based ROMs after a clean install is to enable Privacy Guard (Settings->Privacy) before installing any app. Else you'll have to enable it for every app manually. XPrivacy and DonkeyGuard use pop-up windows as well. For XPrivacy: after a fresh ROM installation first thing to do is download and activate X-Posed, install XPrivacy, enable it in X-Posed and reboot.

[Security Discussion] henry0504:
maybe thats fixed?
[Security Discussion] Zwulf:
I'm not sure what you mean with fixed. Maybe MIUI v6 can block all requests for serials, but I do not own a device that can run v6 to try myself (MIUI for flo does not include permission manager yet). For MIUI v5 I can say for sure that it won't block every request for serial. You can check yourself: if every single app you installed is listed for enable/disable serial then it's fixed. If not, but only some apps are listed, the serial will be obtained, at least for those apps not listed.

Edit: For those who like to use XPrivacy in MIUI - you have to disable built in (LBE) permission manager before, else you'll get stuck on boot(loop). You don't have to disable root in permissions app, but only the upper one for the apps permissions.

[Security Discussion] henry0504:
I mean its unable to block getting serial...

I used v6 and i also think that it cant block getting serial too:)
[Security Discussion] Zwulf:
Sadly. :( The main reason for using MIUI for a long time was the built in permission manager until I found out that it is not really a complete solution which won't give you full control over permissions. I really hope this will change to the better, because I really like the way permissions are handled in MIUI.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uresh.kuruhuri:
Hi there,

I am wondering what's up with the incremental update model adopted by OnePlus. I would appreciate if anybody would explain and this would be helpful for others having the same or similar questions.

Here is the scenario:

I received the phone with 22R version of the ROM. Since then I did not install the updates.

Under the Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates, it is always showing the 25R as the available update and not the latest.

When I raised a ticket with the OnePlus team regarding why the latest version is not being shown, here below is the response I received:

However, I do not quite understand why I would need a hard reset of the phone to see the latest updates. Anyway, my questions are as below:

1. What is this incremental update model is all about?

2. Is it that we cannot update to the latest version unless we go through all the incremental updates?

3. In one of the posts about updating to 38R version (latest as of this writing) needs to be done on top of 33R only.

4. What would happen if we update from 22R to 38R?

Any answers that would give an insight are appreciated.

Thanks.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
This is standard procedure. This is how most phone companies roll out their updates usually. This is how OTA updates work.

An OTA update is not a complete system, it's a patch that needs to be applied to the correct preceding build. That's why they need to be taken in the correct order. I don't see what your problem is though, just take the updates in order and you'll be fine.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uresh.kuruhuri:
I understand it is a standard procedure, but I have not seen that the latest update would only be shown after all the previous updates taken. It does not make sense.

Let's say there are ten incremental updates have come and the user would want to update the tenth version (assuming that the user had not taken previous update releases).. then he would not need to go through the hassle of updating all the previous update releases to take up the latest.

From your explanation, does it means he has to update the phone ten times?

On the other hand, in the case of OnePlus One, what would happen if the user want to update from 22R to 38R?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
A user cannot update from XNPH22R to XNPH38R. There is no 22R to 38R. All of them are incremental updates.

XNPH22R -> XNPH25R -> XNPH30O -> XNPH33R -> XNPH38R.

If you hate doing all the updates then simply flash the fastboot images that'll get you to XNPH38R. But at the time 38R factory images aren't out yet, they will be soon. Latest factory image is 33R.

But I agree, OnePlus should be shipping the new devices with at least XNPH33R.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I think you're failing to understand how updates work. It makes perfect sense. Yes, the user needs to update ten times because they are patches that build on top of very specific already existing firmware. You can't install 38R on top of anything but 33R.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphilippon:

Hey, So I got the Blekota Rom V7 ( http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-blekota-s5-lite-beta-4-5-1-t2752331 ) for my S3 and it is pretty good, it is based onArchiPort, and i got Boeffla Kernel With it.

It is really great, However recently i tried to use the NFC and , it won,t turn ON. So i spent some time and managed to fix it.

I don,t really know if this is a general issue in Blekota rom, or it is just me. I think that it is only me because the dev did not mention it in the NOT WORKING section.

So here is How To fix NFC in Blekota s5 [ArchiPort Based roms], I have no idea if this works with other roms.

We are going to Re install the NFC and the NFC Test From ArchiPort github (Google is our friend :D )

Requirements

1-Root

2-System app remover http://goo.gl/M0Lwbx

3-nfc.apk and nfcTest.apk [Link below]

4-Any File manager

1- Make a nandroid back up i don,t know if this can affect any other services in your device

2-Open System app remover and grant it super user access

3-Search for NFC Service and nfcTest

4-Tick them both and Uninstall

5-Click on the recycle bin on the top right and make sure Both apks are there

6-Open the File manager and go to "jumobile'' Then "recyclebin'

7-You should see both nfc.apk.backup and nfctest.apk.backup , Move them to a safe place.

8-Copy the new nfc.apk and nfctest.apk , you can download them below.

9-Paste them in "jumobile'' Then "recyclebin"

10-Rename nfc.apk to nfc.apk.backup , and rename nfctest.apk to nfctest.apk.backup

11-Open System app remover (i recommend to Clear the memory then open it)

12-Go to the recycle bin and tick both apks and click Restore.

Note : Some times it fails to restore, Keep trying and it will work

Now , Go to the expanded notification bar (Double finger swipe) or Go to the Settings --> NFC , and Turn it on.

Also Turn on Android Beam, They both should work correctly

I don,t really know why this works , But it does, I tested the NFC Service and managed to Copy Pictures/Videos from my friends Devices.

To Download the NFCTEST.apk and the NFC.APK

Go to

https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiPort/tree/master/out/system/app

And search for nfc.apk and nfctest.apk , Use Ctrl + F to search if you can,t find them

Click on them and Click on "VIEW RAW" to download.

I noticed this.

nfc.apk from Blekota rom is : 732.35 KB

nfctest.apk from Blekota rom is : 36.13 KB

nfc.apk from Archiport Github is : 734.11 KB

nfctest.apk from Archiport Github is : 36.03 KB

Not much difference, but the Github apk,s Work :D

Also, if some one can make a Flash able zip that can Replace the current apk,s with github apks, that would be great :)

And that's pretty much it. I hope this works for you if you have Broken NFC. And it might work with other Archiport based roms , Please reply if it worked for you.
