Yes miui sends data to their server but it doesn't mean they are leaking,cheating etc.even iPhone also sends data to their server so what about them.

Yes fappening happened due to iphone servers having Celeb's pics .. but there's still a confusion over whether it was due to simple passwords or sub-standard encryption in icloud.

India IT laws are a joke and fear more about ur data landing in gov hands ( if you are doing something gov dislikes )

No one can guarantee if stock miui is hackproof or mokee or cm11 for that matter. there could be very intelligently written backdoor present.

What exactly gets leaked?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] zelendel:
Yes it is well known that it sends info to servers on China.

Now before anyone say but Google and Apple do this as well. Yes they do but I would rather have a US based company do it then China. We have laws here that protect the info as to where there are no such laws covering the Chinese military. Which is rumored to be the main backer behind this company that went from not exciting to being able to produce thousands of devices.

And yes the US government has banned all products from this OEM from official use and are not even allowed to be carried into work at all.

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] BitNotFound:
There is a project that is doing this too made by Offensive Security (The guys who make Kali). It's still in beta, but there's some pretty cool stuff! There is a custom kernel that adds other features as well.

Site: http://nethunter.com/

Github: https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter

I know, I'm part of the project! :P
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] dasmoover:
I've worked on BT5 ARM a few years ago.

From my understanding the Nexus 9 builds of nethunter aren't fully functional yet.

This can also be used with a barebones debian system for apt, etc.

What status is the N9 with Nethunter?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] BitNotFound:
Mostly working. Everything except the external wifi is running fine (from what I understand. Someone else makes the kernels.). NetHunter itself is running fine, but the custom android kernel is where the good stuff is!

Supposedly the N9 supports monitor mode with its built in chipset. We'll have to try that later though.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] dasmoover:
Awesome, going to try and contribute to that.

This lightweight install is multi-purpose and can be used for much more than just booting Kali
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] BitNotFound:
I think it's actually pretty cool! I'm looking around for some good ARM Linux images to try it out!

I may contribute to your project a bit. It has some awesome potential!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] dasmoover:
Does nethunter support custom kernels on the n9 yet?

I'm trying to get that installed.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] BitNotFound:
Yes and no. NetHunter itself will work without the kernel, but you won't get many of the added features that the (still incomplete) kernel provides.

Hi there guys, i'd like to know if somebody could help me. I'm looking for a QCN file from a HTC ONE M8 CMDA Verizon. I'm trying to enable some LTE Band on sprint carrier, but i thing it'd be more easy if i had the Verizon QCN.

If somebody can and want to help me, just need to follow this steps:

- http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/thread-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269 until step 21.

Step 22: Go to FILE -> Read supported RF NV Items

Step 23: On icon bar, click on 5th icon from left: Write Listed NV Item to QCN.

Step 24: Be patient because it could take several minutes in generate QCN.

Step 25: Upload file.

Why? Because, according to GSMARENA.com (search by HTC One (M8) CDMA), Verizon CDMA is the safe HW than Sprint one... That means (for me) Sprint has AWS band blocked by software and i wanna try to unblock that band.

I really thank you if you may help us.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] theradgamerdan:
Hey! So i'm trying to install the Market Helper app on my Galaxy S3, which tricks google into thinking your phone is something else so you can install apps not compatible with your device. But every time I run it, when it gets to step 2 "doing magical stuff" it just stops, it comes up with the error "Unfortunately, market helper has stopped". So I am running the Codename Lungo rom for Galaxy S3 I9305 and my phone is rooted with Super User working. I tried wiping and formatting the phone and reinstalling the rom, and then trying the Market Helper, still doesn't work. Even immediately after I install the market helper, no difference. Anyone know how to fix this?

[General Questions and Answers] hasham33:
fellaws i want to replace my stock apps with the advanced ones available on google play like my files with es file explorer. but when i install it the es file explorer is added instead of replacing the old my files app. this is just an example. i want many other apps replaced.

i am using custom rom with rooted samsung 5670.

please tell me the method.
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
Installing one app, does not replace another app. If it is a newer version of the same app, then it will update the old one.

You can install all the file explorers you find on the play store, and you will have all of them installed at the end and they won't replace each other.

The only solution is to uninstall the app you don't want. In your case: My Files.

But My Files is a system app (talking about a samsung tw rom?) and you can't uninstall it normally. You are rooted so you can uninstall it. Use an app like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp

There are many more like it.

Beware though, if you uninstall critical system apps, your phone might not work properly any more. Make sure you know what you're doing.

And also, you won't be able to remove some apps for various reasons.

Edit: One other way to remove system apps is to use a browser like Root Explorer or Root Browser, navigate to the location: /system/app or /system/priv-app and remove the app from there. But again: USE CAUTION!!

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] hasham33:
Replace apps

thank you for your reply.

i know how to uninstall system apps with my rooted phone. now let me explain to you my real problem.

i have some files which i want hidden. now the ES Explorer does the task and requires password to show hidden files :D. BUT :( anyone can see them using the option in "my files" that is "show hidden files" :eek: . Hence it is an application that nulls the security enhancement provided by the ES file Explorer:crying:.

so i thought that i should uninstall the "my files" app but when i did this, other apps like Camera and Gallery stopped working and i had to re-install the "my files" app:confused:.

But i have seen custom Roms in which one or two stock apps are replaced by other advanced apps. Can you tell me the process?
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
Unfortunately no. I do not know all the dependencies between apps. And I don't think you can change dependencies for an app. These are hardcoded inside the app itself. As an example, I have a galaxy s4 and use custom ROMS based on cyanogenmod. It's impossible to have the camera app from the stock Samsung rom because of the dependencies required for the app to run.

I think you need to find a different approach. Try maybe protecting them somehow instead of hiding them :)

Good luck

I currently have a Xolo Q900 mobile phone. Currently its with android 4.2.2 software installed.

I found a new updated in xolo official website.

My question is that can I modify that official update package as per my requirements.

Actually I want to update my camera software. Although the new official update package doesnt consists any camera update when I checked. [My method of checking : I didnt found any camera.apk or any camera related app or file inside the update package. I have checked every folders it has.]

I want to use the Camera software of Android 4.2.1.

Is it really possible to patch this Android 4.2.1 camera software in the new Android 4.2.2 update?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBallsac:
So i tried flashing the pa_n7100-4.6-BETA4-20141009 rom as well as cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-n7100 onto what i'm sure is my note 2 n7100. While installing, at the start, the recovery says the rom is meant for a t03g while mine's a t0ltetmo. There is no way in hell my phone's a t-mobile : firstly , i live in india, a country free from the tyranny of t-mobile, and secondly, it says gt-n7100 on bootup from stock rom. I tried removing the version checking part in the rom, hoping to force install it anyway, but it just popped up 'error'. Then i tried flashing one of the few roms available for the t0ltetmo, the Slim-t0ltetmo-4.4.4.build.8.0-OFFICIAL-6945 rom. After a successful installation, it was just stuck on the boot screen. I'm not saying i dont like the shiny slimkat logo twirling around, but i would eventually like to use my phone too. I'm now back to my stock rom after flashing my friend's n7100 recovery image, and then factory resetting, because cwm 'lost' my backup file. Anyway, i'd love to have the new 5.0 cm12 alpha, but i'm apprehensive now. Help me? :crying:

My GPe m7 just got the update notification. I pulled the file from /cache, and here it is.

The SHA1 checksum is in the filename, bad1c593ad07005d8e82754c36caa7e7db9b6cc2. This is not a test release or a beta, so as far as I can tell, I'm the first uploader! :D My phone is the international m7, running 4.4.4.

NOTE: this is an OTA from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1. It requires the stock recovery from 4.4.4, and so will cannot be installed by people that rooted or manually converted their phone to the Google Play edition. (This means me, in fact. I can't install this! But I'm uploading it in the hopes that a developer can apply the patches manually and make a flashable ROM.) This includes firmware, so installing as a Nandroid backup may or may not work.

EDIT: people in this thread have already uploaded the file and are trying to install it. I suggest browsing there, because here in this thread we haven't figured it out yet!

now on this phone I have to download everything before install this ROM or I don't loose anything?

[One (M7) General] alray:
you shouldn't loose anything when updating. However its a good practice to backup everything just in case. The update should be compressed in a zip file. What you are listing above are every files that are included in the ota.zip so you should be fine by zipping these file and flashing it like I described above. You should check the Md5 checksum value once zipped. It must be 81cc5bb0d8e6d2811403610657ff6e63
