I'll give K9 a new look. Some of the other apps have nice usability features and a good look. Eye candy, in part, but usable, too. I'll give Override DNS a look, too.
[Nexus 6  General] Utini:
True, K9 isnt the prettiest mail app. But on the other hand it is easier to usebonce you have 3-4 mail accounts. Less eye candy but better overview and usability. But everyones taste is different :)

Let me know if you need help with K9 or OverrideDNS :)
[Nexus 6  General] maigre:
One nice thing about K9 and its variants is that it uses less battery than some of the more stylish competitors.

Thank you guys for revitalizing my interest in security for Android devices. Any suggestions on a replacement app for QuickPic? Also, looking for real world feedback on Amazon underground. I have seen the many negative reviews. I did search out and found a few positive reviews that were informative and seemed factual, but who knows?

[Nexus 6  General] JW09I4:
Interesting and informative write up =]
[Nexus 6  General] Utini:
In my case: I use an "old version" of QuicPic (the latest version before the overtake).

No idea about amazon underground sorry :/

Thanks for the feedback ! :)
[Nexus 6  General] celeriL:
You can try this. I changed from QuickPic to this and it's good! Piktures
[Nexus 6  General] Utini:
Thanks for that tipp! Did you do a permission/backround check on Piktures yet?

I would STRONGLY recommend this excellent open source Firewall : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.ukanth.ufirewall&hl=en

Just set it to block everything except what you use with network access, and you're good to go !
[Nexus 6  General] Meowdib:
Looks like we'll have Copperhead OS support soon. I ran it on the Nexus 5 without GAPPS and the microg project and feel this plus all your suggestions will make one heck of a secure Android experience. https://copperhead.co/android/downloads?device=shamu
[Nexus 6  General] :
I've moved most of my communications over to Signal at this point.

[Nexus 6  General] konradit:
Hi, thanks for the nice read. I also have 2 factor auth for all the accounts that support it (Google, Github, Dropbox...) I use Authy as a 2FA manager for GitHub and Dropbox since it has a widget which is password protected. Google uses SMS which appear on my watch, pretty cool.

TextSecure is now called Signal by the way.
[Nexus 6  General] Utini:
2 factor auth is an awesome security feature. Just like you I am using it whereever possible and highly recommend it !
[Nexus 6  General] MxLx:
So you ran Copperhead with microG? I'd love to hear how you did this, I can't seem to figure it out without it having signature spoofing...

[Nexus 6  General] TheWu-Wei:
I realize this is an old question, but I'm new to Android (and XDA) and just found this thread.

Looking at F-Droid apps, there's one there called SnooperStopper that claims to allow different passwords for encryption and lockscreen. I haven't tried it, but I wanted to pass along the info.
[Nexus 6  General] Utini:
Thank you for your reply !

I have found a few workarounds to change the encryption pw to smth more complex but none have been really difficult or hard to crack.

I guess google/ROM developers would need to start working on this and allow real passwords to be entered for encryption (with the full keyboard layout).

Maybe google has a reason to not add this kind of password to make cracking of encrypted devices easy :/
[Nexus 6  General] rudyrude:
Sorry for bumping something so old, but were you able to root copperhead? I have it on my nexus 5, and everytime I flash supersu on it from twrp, it bootloops. Any help would be appreciated!

thanks!
[MENTION=4000775]Meowdib[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6  General] slutexpress:
Literally signed up here because there is so little documentation on Copperhead, and I've been for the life of me trying to install Signal. Same thing with me, have tried to flash SuperSU and it bootloops, and I'm not sure if this thing can be rooted. So I am wondering how anyone successfully got micro gmscore installed and functioning. I also have the Nexus 5, so I will keep posting on here until someone can shed some light on this. I want Copperhead to work so badly, but having Signal is almost a necessity since it's diverse enough to cover ios and android.
[Nexus 6  General] bingo.bango:
Did you find a way to get Signal to work? I'm having the same problem. I thought maybe flashing Copperhead, then going into twrp and flashing basic gapps might work. Signal doesn't require root and I assume root would be disabled on a security focused rom like Copperhead anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] Utini:
Hmm why would root be disabled for better security? Actually having it enabled can help with privacy/security?

I would recommend banks gapps as it is the most minimal and improved gapps package I have tried yet.

[XDA Assist] bugz33:
Is it possible to flash a stock ROM of device (a) using only another device (b) ?

Device (a) being the one that needs a stock ROM

Device (b) has an OTG support

Connect one device to the other using an OTG USB cable, and flash ROMs from one device to the other

I got this idea when I was tinkering with Mobile ODIN. If a device can "flash itself" shouldn't it be able to flash others?

is it possible? or am I drifting to the crazy side now? :p

Android IS a Linux distro, so it should be able to get drivers and flash other devices through USB, right? we would just need the apps.

and if it is possible, and already out there, any links, please?

Thanks in advance! (: Cheers!

If you are doing that you will have an expensive toilet paper aka your device bricked.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] alifarrukhsss:
Hi all

I recently bought samsung galaxy smart dock from aliexpress it was available for $ 35 dollars at the time of purchase.Basically It was samsung smart dock for note 2.On description it was mentioned that it would work with s4 and note 3.I tried using dock on galaxy s4 I9505 but none of the usb ports are working, tried many usb,mouse,keyboard none of them work.I have been experimenting with the dock but only hdmi is working.The phone recognises the dock and when connected it switches to dock mode but doesn't responds to any usb device. Have tried changing data cables and chargers and still not working.

Am I missing any stepstep in using dock,Is smart dock faulty or is this fake smart dock?

I have attached the picture of the dock.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] walter2:
I'm having problems too.

The HDMI on mine works but if I plug anything in the USB ports then the HDMI will flash on and off. If I use mine with mouse and keyboard plugged in but use the screen on the phone (nothing plugged in to HDMI) they work fine. Not sure what to do. It is as if there is not enough power to run all of it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ErisDroid?:
I have a smart dock and ran into the same trouble. I found that if i plugged in the USB devices before I docked the phone the usb would work great. I have tried a USB keyboard with additional USB ports, a USB mouse, and a wireless USB keyboard/touchpad combo. All have worked fine. I hope this helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] antoniosastre:
Hello. I have those... my s4 no charging. Everytin is ok. But not chargin very well
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] alifarrukhsss:
Use geninue samsung charger of 2000 ma. Either the one that was supplied by the phone or the one that came with the smart dock.Try changing data cables.Samsung data cables are little thicker than ordinary cables.

The problem with my smart dock was that it had one broken pin of front connector,that pin was bend when I inspected closely . So I bought another one and all usb,hdmi and charging function is working at same time.I tested using usb 4 gb,keyboard and mouse. Then I plugged speakers and connected to tv .All function were working.:

So I bought another smart dock and all usb,hdmi and charging function is working at same time.The dock works no matter in which order you use it.I found on the new one that you can plug keyboard, mouse or any usb product before of after putting phone,all works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] superchesser:
I had a Smart Dock a while ago and had to return it because after some minor issues with the device not charging, hdmi not working... that usually only needed reconnecting it stopped working, and that happened after having used it few times, I have the feeling they have low build quality. I suggest you try to return it and get other solution.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] alifarrukhsss:
I got refund from the seller on aliexpress.I came to know that smart dock was itself faulty and it was a copy of original galaxy smart dock.

The connector pin that was bended inwards and was not broken I fixed it later by adjusting the pin with needle and came to know it was not only the issue.I came to kow that if any pin is broken inside connector,Phone will never recognize the dock.In my case phone was recognizing the dock just the dock itself was not responding to any usb device.

The smart dock still then didn't worked although my phone goes to dock mode when connected.Only hdmi and charging works.I returned the product. and bought another one from ebay which is working flawlessly now :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] samXLR:
I have this dock, I actually bought it from Samsung.com and for some odd reason ended up paying a total of $175usd for it ._.

(original price was $100, shipping ended up as another $30, and then it was wrongfully seized by costumes which nothing short of demanded $45usd or else they confiscate it, I could appeal but that would take ~six months and ... I will face storage charges meanwhile...... which is complete BS.)

As for its functionality:

This thing, on my i9505 works like charm, no need to do any sort of voodoo like putting the USB devices before plugging the device, I simply plug anything I want in any order I want, external 2TB HD? no problems, Logitech G500 mouse? yep, a Filco USB keyboard? aha, 48" SmartTV ? yep.

Everything works, the device "kicks in" some kind of "docking station mode" and everything works from there.

However: this "docking station mode" cannot be avoided or escaped and only apps that show up in it work (stock browser\gallery\mp3\calendar\alarm clock) .. and it works with a small delay, like as if the mouse sits behind a time delay of ~200ms, you know, just slightly faster than 1\4 of a second, same goes for the keyboard, video however plays at the same time was on the phone but UI animations are slightly slowed (both on phone and external display)

This delay is making the overall expriance to be very bad, I can only imagine that the note 2\s3 must feel even slower.

I also have the other simpler adapter that only goes to the power adapter\HDMI (Samsung's as well, from another order, originally bought it for my old n7000\note 1), with that thing the UI is just as slow, everything works essentially the same... video plays wihout issues ETC

What I found out is that with the dock station you cant use any micro-usb extension cable (so that .. the S4 could be used with an extended battery case [or just any non generic thick case]) but with the HDMI adapter it does work (also the female USB adapter, the one that allows you to plug a single device such as thumb-drive\mouse\keyboard - does work with extended micro usb cable)

And last observation:

When using the Sony Expria Z3 Compact (comes with Snapdragon 801) with the Samsung HDMI adapter... it works PERFECTLY, super fast, no delays, UI smooth, and all apps (Everything, really) is accessible... even Blizzard's new Android Hearthstone game... everything, meanwhile the S4 is sluggish as hell and super unfun to use :\

Oh and no phone other than Samsung's works on the docking station, not even old Samsung note 1 (tried nexus 5, lg g2, lg g3, galaxy s1, expria z3 compact, galaxy s2 - only the S4 worked with the dock)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dave106:
??? Settings>My Device>Accessories to turn off the 'docking mode'

Animations can be a bit sluggish because it's running at 30hz not 60hz like the standalone MHL 2.0 HDMI cable does. Samsung never released an updated version of this dock so I can only assume it wasn't a big hit. (And probably this is one of the reasons! Lack of a landscape support in the touchwiz launcher was a bit of a thumbs down aswell)

I had some problems with HDMI output after a while and initially thought the dock at fault but replacing the usb port in my S4 solved all problems. After about a year of use, dust and grime and crap tends to mess them up. Had the same situation with the S2. Gone past the 2 year point now with my S4, so probably due to replace the port again.

Having a mouse and keyboard plugged in, automatically turns off the device screen, but the touch stills work if you need to do a 'pinch' gesture or similar.

Any full sized S or Note phone after the S3/Note 2 should be compatible with this dock. I had it work for S3 and 4 and Note 2. Not had any others to try them out though. The Note 1 and S2 are only MHL 1.0 so they don't work and I've tried the S4 mini, it won't actually fit, the port on the phone is a slightly different shape (?!)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] samXLR:
Thanks for the explanation and feedback Dave =),

The S5 works just the same as an S4, the S4 Active with its inferior specification surprisingly works exactly the same too, furthermore I even tried two other flavors of the S4 (the Verizon version, the 9505 and the 9500) all operates the same.

However, the S6 does not work at all with the dock, regardless of my efforts.

Additionally, during my attempts I found out that if you use a micro USB extension cable (mine was only 2" in length) the dock wouldn't work, I tried using it so I could have the phone laying flat on a table instead of sitting inside the dock (reason was actually due to having an extended 7k battery on one of the above S4s and didn't want to remove it just to fit the phone in the dock ... ended up having to do so as ..... yeah, extension cable = not even charging from the dock)

Oh and with all of the devices that I used with the dock: their screen remind turned on and was displaying a mirror view of the external HDMI screen, unlike what you reported (touch working and no visual cue?)

In my opinion this device, the dock station, is almost as big of a fail as Samsung's wireless keyboard for their SmartTV line ... that doesn't (don't laugh) actually support any of their smart TVs (and does work on any BT enabled android/IOS/windows/linux device, just not on their own TVs despite actually having all the special buttons of their remotes) beyond that point, there's the fact that the keyboard's integrated touchpad is complete garbage (unlike say... Logitech's wireless keyboard's touchpad ...)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Faraz AK:
Use it correctly...

i have the same dock and all ports work fine. you only have to connect the the charger IN THE PORT and THEN insert the HDMI or USB. ;)

Hi folks

The battery port on my mini is not working so i need to send it back to be fixed. i have slim rom on there at the moment and i know they will reject it if thats still on there. I need to revert it back to stock using the sd card? is this possible?

Any help would be most appreciated :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcrah:
No one?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerwolf-crowe:
have you tried mobile odin?, never used it myself, but it might be worth having a look at. best i can suggest at the mo
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bejunk:
Reverting to full stock needs pc and odin. Maybe you can do this in an Internet Café?? Needs 40 mins at all.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcrah:
No, can't use a cafe as its the battery connection on the phone that's screwy! I look into mobile Odin.. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gw|n:
Of course it is possible with SD card and completely without PC. If you have flashable zip file with Stock ROM with all images (recovery, etc.), you can do it as easilly as flashing custom ROM.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcrah:
If you could point me in the direction of a flashable stock rom as I haven't seen any for the N version, or would a non N version work?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gw|n:
I haven´t seen any flashable stock ROM for N version, but if you download official version from sammobile, process of making flashable ROM (e.g. via Android Kitchen) must be same as for version without NFC.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcrah:

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetsmoke69:
I have the MT7 TL10 international. The phone is rooted, BL unlocked and CWM installed. Today I received notification that an OTA update on B123 is available. I think I've read somewhere that the update will not work with CWM so I have to go back to stock recovery. I know how to do that but I just want to confirm with you experts whether or not IT is needed.

And in case I go back to stock recovery, do I just have to flash CWM again after the ROM update and it's all good again?

Thanks in advance for your feedback-much appreciated
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simona Simmy:
what you mean IT needed ??!?!?

Just flash stock and do OTA
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetsmoke69:
Sorry Typo. I mean ....whether or not it's needed to go back to stock recovery prior to making the OTA update
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simona Simmy:
what you mean typo ????? chipmunk
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetsmoke69:
Dear Simona,

thank's for your reply. If I get you correctly IT :D is needed to go back to stock recovery before flashing the OTA update.

But what about my second question. If I flash CWM after the ROM update, will the phone still be rooted, BL unlocked, CWM recovery and SU installed?

My apologies if this is a silly question, but I'm not an Android expert - just an user....
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simona Simmy:
yes don't worry all be still rooted/unlocked..

Subway surfers is not installing after download on my micromax a110 canvas 2. I had already reset the phone but still not working. Please help.
[LG Optimus G Pro] guitarboy021:
Hello people, I don't know if there's anyone out there who still uses the G pro but here I am still using it. Okay so I have been stuck with this problem for almost 2 months now, I rooted my phone amd everything was great till the time I tried to install a custom recovery using freegee. It did not work. In the beginning, it said my phone wasn't compatible because of some loki thing but I still went ahead with it anyway.

So after I installed the 2nd-init recovery, after I rebooted, things went bad. My phone was okay, sort of. The main problem was that my memory card stopped working and my phone began changing settings itself like turning the wifi off, screen on changes to 15 seconds and it keeps doing this again and again and I have to keep changing the settings.

Can somebody please help me fix this issue as I really can't take this anymore. I cant use my phone properly any longer. Oh and my phone is still under warranty but m scared to give it in as I feel they might find out it was rooted. Is there anyway I can get back to the old recovery and remove this 2nd init file? i can locate the file bt im scared to delete it as i wouldnt wanna wreck my phone any further.

Any help would be appreciated.
[LG Optimus G Pro] juniecho:
Restore to stock first. 2nd-init recoveries are very hard to remove without extensive knowledges on linux shell.

They you can re-root the phone. If your phone supports the 'LG Support Tool', then use it. It will recover your phone to stock in clean and nice GUI.
[LG Optimus G Pro] guitarboy021:
I tried the lg support tool. It just keeps stopping.

I'm not really good at this. I restored to stock by performing a factory reset but Im just lost at this point. Can I give it in for servicing because its still under warranty?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
I don't know about lg support tool, but the best thing will be use lg flash tool, there are many thread on how to flash the img files. You can flash the recovery that way. Or you can flash your device back to stock rom 4.12 which is the best starting point.
