[Security Discussion] unclefab:
Nope, the permission manager isn't worth the update.

System apps crash when you restrict them too much, even if you restrict permissions they don't need to work properly, which wasn't the case in pre Marsh Mellow ROMs.

Oh well, they crash if you restrict them through the built-in permission management system bla bla, but they probably won't if you restrict them with third part apps...

Plus, at least on the phone I'm currently working on (but I guess it must be the same on all Mesh Mallow phones), the permission system became very dishonest, to say the least.

When you install a new app you don't see all the permissions you are about to grant but only the categories (remember the last changes in the play sore?), which tricks you into wrongly believing that the app doesn't have too many perms. Once installed you can't review neither the permissions nor the categories, pfuut, gone with the wind...

All this "security" hype about Ma Shallow isn't really about security but about making you feel that thanks to google and its well known abnegation:eek: you are secure and that you don't need anything more to protect you further.

There's nothing worse than a false sense of security...

What else to say?

The auto start manager, well done, except that third part apps offered it since the days of ICS, if not GB, and that a script can take care of that stuff without even installing anything.

All in all if security is your thing don't bother, moreover than xposed doesn't work on some Mesh Hollow ROM, leaving you without any other alternatives but to secure your ROM on your own.

It's of course doable if you know how, but it'll take time and a lot of decompilation/recompilation/testing.

New features?

Boah, 2-3 gimmicks as usual, fancy colors animations widgets I don't know what bling bling yo yo, not worth the money unless you really need a new phone.

Security patches?

Boah again, they made everybody paranoid with stagefright and the like but hey, do you really think you'll get hit?

What are the chances, unless you download cracked apps or are naive enough to let anyone touch your phone without the screenlock on?

I'd say more or less the same than meeting Santa Claus in person, do you believe in Santa?

I personally don't but still, those vulnerabilities are good for business, it makes the Santa crowd buy newer and more "secure" phones, cool...

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultimate_spy_binns:
I was wondering if you can answer a question for me, I have a rooted fire TV with custom recovery installed, but I would like to disable the default Amazon interface so it doesn't boot up, instead I only want kodi to boot.

I want to do this because I only use kodi on the fire TV, so by disabling the default interface I imagine it would speed up boot time and performance, as it's using less resources.

I know it's possible using firestarter app, but again I don't want this installed, But that app doesn't fill all of my requirements, as it doesn't disabled the default interface from boot, also wouldn't want firestarter starting on boot either just kodi

How would this be possible, any wisdom on this would be much appreciated thank you.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude360:
I had a some issues with Kodi being set as Home on both my stick and gen1. Might just be me but it didn't like it.

I still think the best way is to use Firestarter as the main launcher and have Kodi set to launch on boot and single click, with Firestarter as double click.

If Kodi crashes or gets frozen, you still have the oppurtunity to back out and force stop it from Firestarter, if its set as Home then you can't.

You can also edit the keymap.xml to have the back button perform something else while on Kodis home screen, this stops the accidental back-outs to Firestarter as well.

I can't remember where but I'm sure I read a post over on the Kodi forums as to why they don't cook this in from source but the reasons are sound.
[Sony Xperia L] LightningLion:
This phone has worked weird since forever. Shutting off even at 25%. Sometimes it said 45% battery, reboot and it changed to 7%...

Today it was at 1%. I connected it to the wall charger but nothing happened so it run out of bat. Now when I plug it the red led blinks, SONY logo appears, then the battery with the flash as it was actually charging. But just for half a sec, because then it goes off and repeates that cycle again and again and again...

I've tried taking the battery out for 5min, then tried, but nothing happened.

Any ideas? I can't really afford a new phone.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mikeeey:
isnt there just a simple way to do it in the registry?

or a different way to change it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mbritten:
Solved it

Ok this actually can be done in the registry, what you will need to do first is stop the PPT service from loading when you boot up, I used SK tools and removed it from the start-up section of that program. Then you need to goto:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys

Add a new key called 40C6

then I added a string called Name with the value Button 6

you should now be able to assign a program to PTT through settings/buttons

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

if for whatever reason if its not there yet these are all the values I have under key 40C6

(default) "path to your program in quotes"

dword: BtnWnd value=0

dword: Flags value=0

string: Name value=Button 6

string: ResetCmd value "path to your program in quotes"

string: WndCls LEAVE BLANK

if you need to enter all that, go for it, but I would assume it would work after completing the first part of this post

let me know

PS with Voice command it only works to start the program, holding the PTT button to cancel a command doesn't work for me, if anyone figures that out let me know, that would be awesome
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] GumboChief:
Thanks!

I don't own SKTools, so I disabled the PTT service by going to hklm\services\ptt

on the "dll" entry, I just inserted a semi-colon, to prevent the dll from loading- ";PTTService.dll"

However, I was not having much luck getting button 6 to work. Entries appeared in "buttons", but it would not link to the calculator. Finally, I decided to reboot.

Reboot somehow removed button6 entries in registry.

So in other words, it is not working, for me.

Very odd.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mbritten:
I have heard that turning the phone off (hold power putton) will make the registry entries stick, but I've never had a problem just soft resetting, let me know if you figure it out

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] swamp2:
Confirm

I can confirm the experience of robroth and GumboChief. Followed GumboChiefs advice on the ; - worked to disable PTT load. Then followed mbritten's reg changes in post #6. Registry key 40C6 disappers consistently after soft reset.

However, removing the entire PTT worked perfect.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Jim_R:
Yes, I reassigned the PTT button such that a short press to the Cyberon Voice Speed Dial that is included on the TILT, and paired it with a Motorola T605 Handsfree Car kit. The car kit interfaces well with the TILT/Kaiser Bluetooth, a long press on the carkit's remote send button lauches Voice Speed dial. Incidentally, the A2DP profile works well with WMP (which I assigned as a PTT button long press), including pause, skip forward & back functions.

Regarding asfoor's post #127 on page 13:

Although it's a year later and this post has been tagged as 'solved'... No offense but asfoor's instructions are intended for experienced users :confused: It took me a while to figure it out and noticed others were having similar problems as I was. So here's the REAL "simple" instructions :)

1. You need the two files attached herewith (in post #127, page 13, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1707732#post1707732), copied onto your SD Storage Card

2. Start the TaskMgr and from the pull down icon in the top right select the "RegEdit" tab.

3. In the registry, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\PTT.

4. Click and hold on to the PTT folder, then a prompt appears, select "Delete" then exit. Do a Soft Reset.

5. Click on "Start" and File Explorer, Storage card and install the OEM_Assign_PTT_Button.CAB onto your device.

6. Do a Soft Reset.

(I might add that you also get the bonus TaskMgr program that can be useful in the future :rolleyes:)

7. Go to Star\Settings\Buttons and you should see the "Button 6" and "Button 6 Press & Hold"

8. Select whichever button you want to assign and select the program you wish. :)
