This app can be used to maximize the protection of the data on your

rooted

phone in situations in which someone has physical access to your device. It only works on OnePlus One 64GB phones (and might work on the 16GB edition).

Features:

Toggling tamper flag

Unlocking/locking bootloader without wiping your data

Disabling and enabling the recovery program (such as TWRP) from within Android

Use case:

Suppose you have rooted your phone and in the process you have also installed a custom recovery program. Anyone with physical access to your phone can now easily extract all files that are on your internal storage, by booting the phone into recovery mode and connecting it to a computer. Imagine that, to counter this problem, you install a recovery program that does not expose any files and only accepts signed flashable packages. Now, an intruder cannot access files through recovery mode, but can still flash a new recovery program that does expose files. To prevent this from happening, one must also lock the bootloader, to prevent malicious images from being flashed. This app makes taking these measures easy. It is able to completely block access to the recovery program by backing up and erasing the recovery partition, and toggle the bootloader lock. This will make it (nearly) impossible for anyone without special hardware, tools and soldering equipment and experience to gain access to your files.

Tested on:

OnePlus One 64GB, Resurrection Remix

Important:

If you lock your bootloader and disable your recovery, the only way to get to your data is through Android. If you corrupt Android in one way or another, i.e. it does not boot anymore, you have practically lost your data. I advise you to only disable access to the recovery program in situations in which there is an increased likelihood your phone will be stolen.

You can also use device encryption.

Would this be considered a workaround to not being able to encrypt the /data partition with f2fs? Or would they still have the ability to view my data in plain text?
[ONE Themes and Apps] Deleted member 6870501:
Does this work with custom roms/kernels/firmware? Once I re-lock my bootloader, will I be able to unlock it again without wiping my device? I tried looking on github but there's no info about this.
[ONE Themes and Apps] _Tobias:
Once you lock your bootloader, you will be able to unlock it without wiping your device, provided you unlock it through the app (or find another way to write the flag value to the aboot partition). This will work on almost all custom roms/kernels, however, disabling the recovery will probably not work if you for some reason have a resized recovery partition (not likely to be the case).

Unlocking it through fastboot will initiate a full wipe.

Given enough hardware and tools, one would still be able to read from your memory chip, but not with just a USB cable. Encrypting the data partition, combined with the use of this app would be more secure.
[ONE Themes and Apps] _Tobias:
I just noticed a bug. The app incorrectly shows the value of the unlocked flag. Setting the flag still works all the same.

This has been fixed in version 1.1.
[ONE Themes and Apps] Deleted member 6870501:
Thank you for making this useful app. It really does work as advertised, and the only bug I experienced was fixed in v1.1.

If your phone is S-ON your bootloader must ne locked or re-locked to flash a RUU. If it's S-OFF, it doesn't matter (unlocked, locked or re-locked)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D97:
Hi - as a bit of a lark, I picked up an Aoson 7 inch tablet on Amazon Prime day for $65 CDN. I believe it is a MTK8735 device.

( https://www.amazon.ca/S7-Pro-Unlock...8&qid=1500319352&sr=8-1&keywords=aoson+s7+pro)

I was pleased to discover that the developer options allowed OEM unlocking and was - at least as far as I can tell - able to unlock the bootloader via fastboot with "fastboot oem unlock."

That's where I stand - even though the tablet is basically an AOSP build, I would like root access on the thing. I have tried booting a variety of MTK custom recoveries that I have found on xda and other places via "fastboot boot whatever_recovery_I-have_found.img" but, despite accepting some of the recovery images without error messages, the tablet always goes into a normal boot.

I have looked at the magic Twrp for Mediatek devices here on XDA but, since I don't have shell root access, I am unable to let it work its magic. I have also tried some of the one click methods (kingroot, etc.) but have not been successful with any of those methods either.

Are there any other steps that I could be taking at this stage? I am just looking for a little advice.

Hallo,

I'm new to PPC and realised the scrolling and viewing of sms & mms is very slow. . Initially I thought it was normal for PPC, but my friend told me is abnormal after he view it.

Any advise please.

Good day
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
Most likely related to the lack of drivers for the Kaiser.... but I'm sure someboday else can confirm.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
Mmm. And that's based on what precisely? Actually it's probably unlikely to be due to the drivers. ********* Edited for pettiness.

Some people are tending to attribute problems to video drivers and little help or thought is being put into what the real cause of problems may be.

This is the same kind of mis-information as when folk were saying the PIE scrolling was down to the drivers (and again it was unrelated to them) OR again when the speed of the camera was put down to the drivers (and again newer software shows this was not the case).

In reply to the OP. Please give us some more detail, circumstances when it happens, how slow is it, are you running any other programs concurrently etc.

ive noticed that after about 2 hours on my phone (with under 45% memory usage) my txt messages also lag. i write the entire message and it takes like 30 secounds for the message to show up for me to be able to send it. its really annoying
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
Obviously I'm no Kaiser Wizz, which is why I didn't say "Your problem is because of lack of drivers" (I also missed the sms bit, and thought the issue was only related to MMS, which reading again makes my first post sound insane), but thanks for being patronising in your correcting me and thanks for the mindless sheep insult (which although isn't directly poitned at me, clearly shows I'm the intended recipient).

From what I've seen this has not actually been proven yet, a few HTC Camera Cab's have been released which increase FPS a miniscule amount, but hardly a fix, and not really enough to say that poor Camera speeds are not because of lack of drivers. I'm not saying they definately are, but from your statement you seem to have completey dis-regarded drivers from the issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
try messing around with the cache tweaks, or flash a new rom
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eboy44:
should i increase or decrease the cache in this situation?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fusi:
heh ^

on a serious and honest note - i beleive that the lack of drivers might potentially have something to do with this, but not the camera

rendering an sms or an mms is mostly a one time render into a buffer of sorts which is then blitted onto the screen - obviously the blitting could/would be hardware accelerated but on a 320x240 screen you arent really going to see a significant slowdown due to moving memory around (as thats all is what happens - in well written software at least) unless the bandwidth is really small - some software however re-renders things based on the changing view rectangle - ie a browsers (internet exploder) view port or the icons in the scrolling programs list (i think this might be compounded by the actual icons not being cached by the OS, so it has to pull them from memory and process them every time) - the lag in these programs are caused by the program re-rendering things many times as the view rectangle changes - this would no doubt vastly improve if/when hw accelerated drivers come out.

to talk numbers 320*240*2 (the 2 is the 16bit colour) is 192k of data for a fullscreen of pixels (excluding any z/stencil/accum buffering etc) now i dont actually know the refresh rate of the device but im guessing its either 30hz or 60hz - so every second, worse case senario, 192k * 60 = 11.25Mb/s of pixel data is flying through the memory onto the screen. actually thats not worst case - because often with (proprietry, non-OS) z ordered windowing/raster systems, things are rendered back to front, sometimes with significant overdraw - pushing the pixel rate up even higher.

if you look at the camera in a nice light bright setting, its smooth and functional - this tells me that the memory has enough bandwidth.

programs that arent coded well (ie they just assume hw acceleration and cosntantly rerender) will feel crap and slow on software renderers - programs that are optimised will have considerably less lag on software but would be super sprightly on hardware. does any of this make sense?

as for the camera - same thing, its just a fullscreen blit of memory - i beleive the problem with the camera is the software that is controlling it and applying that superannoying constant nightmode filter - i can only assume this is being done because of the severely low quality of the camera especially in low light conditions (they must feel the need to 'beef it up' with software post processes).

anyway thats my tangential 2p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Don_Zakaria:

Hi everybody!

Im looking for a file in systemUI.apk which sets a background dim when notification bar is expanded. For mebits reaaly annoying annnd it has a weird glich on the bottom of screen.

Now im using Xperia Z5 Compactz but i remember this screen dimming glich from z1 compact. I dont know maybe its specific sony device problem. Im not sure.

Maybe anybody knows which file i need to edit in systemui.apk to get rid of that dimming?

Because i think I only need to change some colour code to for example to fully transparent one to solve that dimming?

I made few short screen recordings ~15sec.

In screen record video take attention to the bottom of screen. When notification bar is fully expanded screens bottom gets darker like 2cm heigh. Its easy seen on white background video. But on black screen when i expand fully notification bar, screen bottom which is darker makes horizontal stripes on dark backgrounds.

1. White background video. Take attention to bottom. You can see darker bottom bar

[youtube]icjP4PVFNvM[/youtube]

2. Dark background video. Also in the bottom of screen there is dark music widget. Youtube cutted video quality. But you can still see, how dimmed screen on background create horizontal stripes/gliches. Dont know how to explain proper:D

[General Questions and Answers] shaku45:
Hello. I've forgotten the pattern to unlock my old phone Xperia T3. I know there is a way to unlock it with email and password, however it just doesn't seem to work since I've changed the password many times and forgot which one I was using back then. I've tried launching it with volume up/ volume down + power, however it either did nothing or just vibrate a few times without turning on. One combination resulted in the phone launching normally but with "Tryb Awaryjny" (polish - "safe mode") text in the bottom left corner. I've tried forcing it into recovery mode with ADB, but it doesn't detect the device - usb debugging is probably disabled and I can't turn it on without unlocking the phone. I'm sure it has correct adb drivers. Sony's flashing tool Emma says the phone is locked and I can't use it. I've ran out of options. Can you please help me make this phone usable? Thanks.

I am using a Samsung j700p the boost Mobile updated to 6, it has been rooted. So I set up PDAnet on my computer (osx). I have it connected using FoxFi hotspot, all is well it's much faster on my computer vs the dsl I'm subjected to otherwise, I notice though that the Android hotspot icon shows up in the notification or status bar as well. My question is just a fancy way to turn on my Android hotspot or is actually hotspoting in a different way that doesn't affect my 8gb j norally have with boost. Boost offers a completely unlimited data plan for 50$, the only cap it has is for the hotspot feature which is 8gb.

I haven't had any luck with the usb tether option however I haven't tried too hard. My goal is to get around the 8gb cap or get the usb tethering or Bluetooth? Options to function well.

I'm on v10t and after I connect to my car (VW) my G6 keeps reconnecting randomly...sometimes even every few seconds.

Can't figure out what could be causing this.

If anyone is using AA on VW group car with G6 on v10t and it is stable - please give me a shout, thanks!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MarkPH123:
Using my LG G6 on the latest firmware and it used to do the same to my Vauxhall Corsa 2017(Opel in other countries).

The only workaround I had was using an Anker a7512 4 port USB 3.0 hub with Gigabit Ethernet.

I used the USB C cable I had off my Nexus 6p and plugged in through the hub, Never had a connection issue since but it's a bit of a shabby workaround.

In my opinion, I think it may be a voltage issue, but correct me if I'm wrong!

*EDIT* using V10t-EUR-XX

Also brand new Opel (Vauxhall) Astra with intellilink 4.0 and a brand new LG G6... AA works rarely and for unpredictable time. Usually I have to "Forget all the cars" in AA to make it work, but even that is 50-50% chance :(

Nexus 6p didn't have any issues with Astra before. Also I've tried Samsung J5 and it works flawlessly - with the SAME original LG USB-C cable! This is really frustrating and I hope someone has a solution...

Did you find a solution (since we both have same care and same phone)?

i got my vox a month ago and i love the design. probably the only smartphone design out there that looks as good as it does. But the problem i'm having with it is the performance level...i've had it lock up on me, sometimes it takes forever to load a simple task such as my text messages. I love the phone design to death, is there a phone that keeps this slick design but performs just as well? I know htc released a s730, but really? lol come on, its bigger, contains the same amount of ram, faster processor but still...

Or is it time i move to a pocket pc? do they perform better than smartphones? Or am i looking at this entirely from the wrong view, is it windows mobile thats causing this? is there away i could change the OS installed, maybe like the OS pocketpc's run?
