[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizlee86:
What is more important for you?

I was between Z3C and Moto Maxx too but, since I was coming from a Note 2 and was looking for a smaller phone, it wouldnt make sense to get a Moto Maxx.

But, camera is a really importante thing to me and Im not very happy with Z3C´s cameras performance, actually, I´m pretty disappointed.

But what I prefer on Moto Maxx over the Z3C are: camera (until Sony improves its camera image processing software), almost stock OS, screen (the screen is beautiful).

Why I bought the Z3C: size and price.

Hi,

I'm kinda new to android, I've rooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket sgh-i727r / on jellybean 4.1.2) and I'm ready to flash a custom rom (SlimKat to be specific). I feel the stock rom can be "trusted", but can a custom rom be trusted to be secure and have privacy? I'm concerned that a custom rom dev may have added anything to the rom to be a security or privacy issue (where they can listen in on texts or phone calls, steal contacts or even steal passwords).

What are your thoughts?

p.s because I have limited knowledge of android I can't look through the code to inspect it.

I hope someone can please help.
[XDA Assist] jackeagle:
Hi,

Thanks for using XDA Assist :) Well no Developer adds anything which may effect your security if that was the case then no one would have used Custom Rom's... Custom are too build from source and in all Rom's thread they link the source used but OEM never release it hence you wont be able to find but Custom Rom's have their source and all security previlages even Root has all security option to suit to users needs.. There is no such issues no one tracks nor steales anything developers have a lot of things in real life and in Android world they enhance Android Experience to full potential so that users can enjoy it :)

End of the Day its your choice :)

Good Luck!

[Security Discussion] enobscuratus:
You can consider the "safest" Roms to be built on AOSP, and have their own open source code repository where you can build from. Something like cynaogenmod comes to mind.

Source code is not available for all parts of most stock Roms for non-nexus phones (Sense, touchwiz, etc). But many stock-based Roms such as what I use (insert-coin), have completely open codebase with the base ROM files copied in (and certain files modified / deleted--these changes visible in the source tree). So using a ROM with a large development community probably isn't much more risky than using stock (especially since many stock phone manufacturer include spyware on the phone)

The big problem is closed source firmwares. This is unavoidable when you consider the radio--even on nexus phones. As far as I know, the radio firmwares are completely opaque on every since phone available, which ****ing sucks.

You can take steps to make sure the phone isn't doing weird ****, like configuring a VPN to send all phone data thru a firewall appliance which does packet inspection. A device like Sonicwall would do nicely. This will also warn you if any apps are misbehaving (unexpected p2p, TOR, i2p, DHT, or anything weird)

At this time I believe phones are inherently insecure, but the best you could do is a nexus device with stock Google OS.

If you want a completely secure computer, check out libreboot (open bios), only a few models compatible. And a good OS like hardened Gentoo or openBSD.
[Security Discussion] CHEF-KOCH:
Source code source code source code ...

Anytime I'm hearing this I must be laughing. The code is useless if most of people are not able to read and understand it and also not if nobody really makes a proper audit (which means that it usually takes some hours/days and a lot of knowledge). OpenSSL was also vulnerability for years and it is open source.. So stop telling the people any myth about that open source is a benefit. It could but mostly nobody cares much since nobody want's always spent hours/days for every new release to re-audit everything.

I guess every guy that care much about secure something must read, read and read. There is no common setup or tool or guide, stay up-2-date, try to update things asap and inform yourself about known attacks. It's aslo a known myth that changing any rom more secure anything. There are rare roms/OS which are build to be "more secure" but in fact such mentioned attacks like Openssl affects a lot of OS and apps even if they are build with more security inside.

Nothing is "completely secure" as long the user without knowledge controls it or if there are attacks which can't be controlled easily ...e.g. if you are already infected since the first day/boot with malware which the av or you can't access/scan that easy (for example usb firmware malware or hdd boot partition malware which are locked because no tool can't access it under a booted up os).

[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
You're funny :) most common apps "google play" "facebook" "whatsapp" and even some factory roms and so on REALLY CAN SPY nearly everything you do with your phone. If you get the rom from an official thread here @ XDA you can be pretty sure its not infected by any malware. A rooted phone will give you full control of your phone, you can e.g. cut off app's privileges :P
[General Questions and Answers] josephiskandar:
Paranoid Android o_O

You may not be able to read a ROM code, but developers are. First, there is usually not one but a group of developers working on a ROM. Secondly, they usually get helped by other developers for some features because they don’t know everything. Finally, the whole idea of an open-source code is that every developer on earth have access to it, so it would be very hard for one developer to hide such a privacy hack feature and avoid any other developer to find out. ParanoidAndroid might be an appropriate ROM for you as you're a real paranoid ;)

To illustrate LS.xD's post, have a look at how an app's privileges can be controlled.

First of all root needed root your phone by farmaroot or king root.

And then install these apps in your phone exposed installer, holo themer premium, tinted status bar and xuimod .

To install these apps first install exposed installer and update framework.

Go back click in download search for these apps mentioned above (holo themer premium. tinted status bar,xuimod) and install

Go back click module and check all . And restart phone.

Go to holo themer pro and click app which you want to theme and select "use wallpaper no title" and save.do for all apps you want to make transparent.

Search and download exposed installer or click on attachment.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CoDe LaZaRuS:
Guys as you know our galaxy nexus has a limited storage of 16 GB. Out of that ~13 GB is available to us. I like most of you guys use titanium backup for backing up my apps which eats up another ~3 GB of space. Now I have an OTG USB to which I've moved the titanium backup folder however if i want to restore an app I have to move the folder back into the phone first which is extremely troublesome. I thought of an easier way which is to create a shortcut of the TB folder in my phone which will point to the actual folder in the OTG drive. So whenever I would need to I would just plugin the OTG drive and restore the app from titanium backup app as its normally done without any hassle. The shortcut can be created with terminal emulator however I do not know the the commands. So any assistance will be extremely appreciated :)

Do you lose the WiFi connection in Ubuntu or in Android? And when does it happen? After the first reboot?

Which channel did you install?

MultiROM is by far the best dual boot solution that's out there at the moment. Therefore, I'd suggest looking into fixing the issue above. It'll be worth it.

However, there's also another one, although it's less flexible. Check out the following wiki article on that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/DualBootInstallation

I've seen that tasssadar doesn't reply to messages you send him. He probably simply gets too many of them. :D
