[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
I'm amazed that there has not been more posts on XDA given that the Baidu APK / Moplus APK put rooted users at particularly high risk!

http://www.engadget.com/2015/11/02/bunk-baidu-sdk-puts-backdoor-on-millions-of-android-devices/

Things are only partially fixed but I don;t trust Baidu anyhow (or Cheetah, or any of those Chinese app companies due to the govenrment) as it seems quite obvious to me the CHinese Government has got their finger in there and it and other apps are compromised so that the Chinese Government can easily spy/gain data on those people they want to, I've uninstalled one of my favourite apps ES File Explorer due to this.

see updates at the end

[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldslowdiver:
Yep, I did the same with ES File Explorer, I've been for years a die hard fan of this app, but, then I discovered there was suddenly - after app updates on updates - now a log file (with position and ID) sent to a Chinese server, automatically created each time I would have opened the app, which frankly pissed me off, plus, there was a related Alarm (or wakelock), - at stellar values (dxcore something, and service com.estrongs.android.pop.ESFileExplorer - can't remember exactly right now, since I remove the app), pretty visible on Wakelock detector and un-stoppable through Amplify.

So, bye bye Es File Explorer, and thanks for all the fish.*

*I don't mind if people find this 'little issue with privacy' laughable: I agree fully with what written here http://acurrie.me/2014/11/03/how-to-find-spyware-on-your-android-device/ - pretty underrated as issue, if you want my two cents.

[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
Yes, that fact this has been a known issue for a while but no attempt to fix it 100% (think it was the trendmicro blog that suggested a backdoor would still be able to be opened even after the latest updates, that's why I think it's the government). What I really want to find is a FULL list of all the apps that have been made with the Baidu SDK / Moplus SDK as I'm sure many written by app devs in far east (no doubt some Western ones too) will have them for Chinese advertising etc, I know I have apps from devs in Hong Kong & Korea at the very least, have they used these SDK? Also I have some friends in Hong Kong who I know have made comments against the CCP...... have they been traced, recorded, tracked etc

[Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasathDias:
tl;dr - After installing CM 12.1 Stable on my XT1072 (UK Retail), everything worked fine. Suddenly, the SD card just disappeared and refused to mount or erase, but the card shows up on my PC and TWRP. Was thinking that reverting to stock firmware could fix it but couldn't find the ROM. If you have the stock ROM, please send! Other than that, any other solutions?

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here, and after searching around, I can't find any solutions for my problem. So, here it is:

Through TWRP 3.0.0.0, I installed the most recent stable version of CM 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) after bad experiences of CM 13 nightlies. Everything was working fine and I started reinstalling my core apps. Once I installed my main daily apps (and no games), I started copying my music collection from my PC to my 16GB Kingston SD-HC card. Everything was going well, then suddenly, when I unlocked my phone, the SD card was just gone. I checked Solid File Explorer Pro (what I use) and it only showed 'root' and 'internal storage'. My music app said my collection was empty. When checking the Storage section of settings, it only showed my internal storage. Under that, there was an option to mount my SD card or erase it. When I tap mount, it flashes with my SD card's information for a second but then disappears. When trying to erase the SD card, it says that the card is being checked although nothing actually happens.

I searched up multiple forums which didn't help, so I figured maybe it's just the ROM. I tried to find the stock firmware (5.0.2) for my phone but couldn't find it. If anyone has it, maybe reverting to stock will help? Anyway, as I couldn't find the stock firmware, I decided to carry on with CM 12.1 for the moment.

I rebooted multiple times and nothing worked. Then, I booted up without the SD card inserted. Then, when inserted, it said it was checking the card for errors. It did this for around ten seconds, but still, it showed up as mounted for a split second before going again. I went to TWRP and the SD card was mounted and working, but when booted up, my phone refused to mount the SD card.

This led me onto searching how to manually mount the SD card but all of that made no sense to me (this is my second time flashing a ROM) and I kind of gave up there. And here I am! What do I do? Please someone help! Thanks even for reading, though.

Have a great day! (Hopefully with a fully-functional phone :p)

i hope we will see a dark theme for the rest of the ui anytime in the future. the available one do always have bugs with dark font on dark background.
[G4 Themes and Apps] aouni_tahech:
I installed google dialer on my MM stock rom, and disabled the Contacts app (the LG app) from Titanium Backup. The dialer works flawlessly, and the no FC whatsoever when searching for contacts. Much much better than the LG dialer! I also kept the LG in-call UI because I like it better than the Google in-call UI.

Only thing is that I'm rooted and I installed the app manually by placing the apk files in the [app-priv] folder inside the [system] folder.
[G4 Themes and Apps] ExcaliberX:
How do you replace the in-call ui? mine still with LG stock ui, how can i change it?
[G4 Themes and Apps] Gregzi:
I am not on stock anymore but it is possible / done it myself in the past...

I believe you should go to settings / general / applications and there you have on upper right 3 dot menu. From there you can change the dialer (the same time you change in-call UI,

or,

on the same location go to Dialer.apk and you will have 3 dot menu on same location... Sorry, I don't remember anymore...

Is there a way to change the theme on this without being rooted?
[G4 Themes and Apps] Thor_BR:
Try this:

Go to Settings > Apps > 3 dots (top right) > Configure Apps > Default Apps > Phone App and select the new app.

Now go to Settings > Apps > 3 dots (top right) > Reset default Apps and remove the old dialer

how to enable VOLTE (Using reliance JIO sim) in yureka (in any version like 4.4 or 5.1 or 6.0)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kingbing:
Hi folks. I've been having a bit of a hack to try and get MMS messages backed up. Now I know why it hasn't been done before ;-)

I've written a program that dumps cemail.vol into an xml file. It lists all the records in all the databases, and lists all properties per row. It even makes a best attempt at guessing the MAPI property name of each property is (they match to all the PR_ constants, just with certain MAPI type identifiers changed for the matching EDB type).

So, from my database dump, I've got a pmailMsgClasses database that lists all the known IPM.Whatever types, such as IPM.SMStext and IPM.MMS. Then there's the pmailFolders database that lists the hierarchy of folders, from IPM.Root to accounts(/MsgStores) such as SMS, ActiveSync and MMS to actual folders, such as Inbox, Drafts, etc.

Then there's the pmailMsgs database, which lists every single message in the system. There's not much data in here, but there's a pointer to the oid of the MsgStore (e.g. MMS), and an oid of the folder the message is in (e.g. Drafts). There are other properties, including a couple of binary ones, but nothing really interesting apart from another oid that links to a record in a fldrXXXXXXXX database, where the XXXXXXXX is replaced with a hex representation of the oid of the (e.g. Drafts) folder.

This fldr database contains more information about the message, including sender details, receive time, message time, message class (e.g. IPM.MMS) and subject.

For SMS messages, the contents of the message are actually stored in the subject property. I don't have any emails in my system, so I don't know what happens here, but for MMS, there is no indication of the content.

If we go spelunking on the file system, we find \My Documents\UAContents and a whole load of *.dat files. These files are your MMS messages. They all have numerical filenames such as 21420.dat. The filesize of these matches the message size property in the database. When you edit or view an MMS, the .dat file is expanded - a directory is created with the same name as the file without the .dat (e.g. 21420) and the images, text and html is saved as separate files.

My problem is, I can't find any kind of link between the messages in the database and these files in the file system! Does anyone have any ideas?

(I have figured out the .mpb files stored in \Windows\Messaging though. I think this is where the body property is stored. The filename is something like a23c00031000001f.mpb. The 1000001f is the value of PR_BODY, and the a23c0003 maps to the oid of the message in pmailMsg - 0x3c0003a2. Unfortunately, these aren't created for MMS.)

As an example, my MMS drafts folder has an oid of 0x31000031. This means I have a database called fldr31000031. In pmailMsgs, I have a record with oid 0x30000363. This contains a property whose value is an oid of 0x350003ed, which is a record in the fldr3100000031 database. And the contents of this message are stored in 24120.dat. This is 5E38 in hex (all .dat files map nicely to 4 digit hex numbers), but I can't see the connection between these. Anyone?

Cheers

Matt

Hi all, received a brand new Xperia Z3 today after my Z2 got smashed, and was raring to get it rooted and such (aka the usual new phone routine). Problem is, I can get into fastboot with no problems at all, however when trying to get into flashmode (holding volume down whilst plugging into USB), it just flashes the red notification LED, and kicks into charging, as if the volume down hadn't been held. I've tried different USB ports, and different computers, same thing. The phone's software has not been changed in any way, literally opened it a few minutes ago, and volume keys are all working fine in the OS, USB debugging is enabled, am I missing something crucially obvious?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thedarkness523:
Hello Everyone,

So recently I got a new S4 and I decided to root and mess around with it a little bit... Didn't go so well.

First KNOX was pissed that I tried that because I had given SU power to SuperSU (I didnt want to use KingUser) so when that happened, SuperSU failed to set itself as the primary SuperUser app. So I decided to install recovery (TWRP) to do it the recover way, scripts and all that. After that, I went ahead and removed KNOX, via the settings menu on the app.

Now I fail to boot into RECOVERY, and I also fail to boot into normal Android mode. When I attempt to boot normally, the SAMSUNG logo comes up then verizon, Okay fine its booting. 5 miutes later, the phone gets hot, and still wont boot.

I cannot charge the normal way, or even use the charging port. I have to take the battery out and put it in a dock. So ODIN is out of the choice.

My Phone Specs:

Samsung Galaxy S4 i545 (Verizon)

1GB SD Card

No recovery or ODIN.

Please help... :confused:

If you can't get into download mode then you have a problem.

Without it there isn't much you can do. You also need the pc to recognize your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0_RoXoR_0:
I'd say flash a custom ROM because new update which I received on stock firmware of I9500 added some security and an app called smart manager which is causing instability. Connect your dead phone to charger and then flash TWRP 2-3 times and don't forget to untick F.rest time and auto reboot. Normally it is ticked, and manually boot to download mode each time I hope you know how to do that. Then try your luck. That's how I did it. And use latest recovery available on the web.

Hit thanks:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
I believe the Verizon s4 has a locked bootloader (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2681316); therefore, you cannot flash a custom ROM or custom recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
if the port is physically damaged then you need to

get the port replaced

there is absolutely nothing you can do until you have the usb port repaired

. secondly hold power down while inserting the battery if that doesn't get it into download mode then congratulations you now have a 200.00 dollar brick

the i545 does not support custom recoveries or custom roms outside of modded stock roms attempting to flash one will result in a permabrick as you just found out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Matthew M.:
Once the usb is repaired if you are still unable to access download mode then you have a big problem. When the port is repaired see if the comouter recognizes the phone as QHUSB_dload, if so, you need jtag, if the computer doesnt recognize the phone then it is most likely damaged beyond repair.
