Edit:

The site owner has request a reclassification from trend micro and as of November 30th 2022, it is now classified as safe via https://global.sitesafety.trendmicro.com and the lost certification is related to being poor and too proud to just admit so. (ok, thats a low blow. 1k a month (per owner) on a cert that use to be free is BS on McAfees part but the road to get to this conclusion was just stupid)

I noticed this when accessing aurora store with that repo enabled (offered by default) they offer privacy focused alternative apps and as well as a android ROM. I am a tech privacy /android / ROM whore and never seen something in this realm of content genuinely concern me.

and their detailed classification is...

I wanted to initially assume false-positive or even more tin-hat, like a security company abusing their trust to assist google sustain analytics but this is too unique / unpopular and yet a specific.block

Doesnt help that it also lost (not never had) its Trusted rating with McAfee Secure with requests the owrner contact them.

View attachment 5469717

there is not too much chatter about it on reddit or here beyond old(ish) roms and current updates (nothing reassuring, sadly)

looked into the websites github and code but ithere is so little discussion/feedback about the consistent changes and im not specialized in web cert/security classification guru. All I do know is i go to a lot of privacy focused apps, install all the privacy/ foss f-droid repos and never seen this before.

You are welcome to verify what you see, but please kindly don't spread FUD about a project I've spent many thousands of hours on these past years.
[Security Discussion] applyscience:
Poor choice to use FUD ("Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (often shortened to FUD) is a propaganda tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear." - the wikipedia definition to defend your project, especially on things that bring up serious concern about it. That, paired with the info dump you gave that addressed none of the issues I brought up.

I am not qualified to "validate" anything you show me, which is why I brought it up here in hope professionals would be able to weigh in. I saw your name but didn't tag you because I was certain you would just get defensive and take it as an attack, which it is not. it is a concern. I also didnt do it because You really dont ask the one being labeled a scammer if they are one..

The fact you still took it as one and did nothing to address the the 2 major security companies showing valid concern over the website.

weird way to humble brag and again, nothing about them relate to the post I made. you not addressing anything i put forward just makes me even more concerned. Again, there are many similar projects (some much more popular in use) and none of them have the issue your website seems to have.

Why not address the claim by Trend Micro?

How could they confuse your link as a scam when that is not a false positive they do much, if ever?

Are you planing on contacting McAfee to get your sites cert back?

Why did you lose it in the first place?

They definitely seem interested in you contacting them, why not do so?

If you reply again, please address anything about the specific and valid issues brought up in the post and not just try to defend yourself by listing off your work history.
[Security Discussion] SkewedZeppelin:
I honestly do not care at all what Trend Micro or McAfee's automated blackbox systems have classified my websites as.

Nor am I going to install Windows and install their anti-virus programs just to refute their claims.

McAfee literally charges minimum $1000 a month for that nonsensical "certification" https://www.trustedsite.com/certification/start if your site has "more than 500 visits a month". divestos.org is averaging between 20k and 35k page hits a month.

I'd gladly welcome a free audit of my work.
[Security Discussion] applyscience:
"I don't care" isn't an answer to any of the questions. listen, I don't care. I don't use your stuff nor like or dislike anything related to you, your project. The only reason I even posted it is the fact this is the only website I've come across in my 25+ years of FOSS obsession to have 2 major security companies suggesting something is wrong.

the fact you still didn't answer the questions nor care doesn't bode well. you really should care

2 major security companies did and that's why this post was made. Hellloooo???!
[Security Discussion] SkewedZeppelin:
No, they did not audit what I offer.

That is not at all what an audit is.

The Trend Micro is a false positive, and I've already asked them to reclassify it.

The McAfee certification is a *PAID* service, that costs over $1,000 a month and is for websites to have a silly badge on their website. Never have I paid for it or asked for it or can even afford it. Why would I in my right mind burn $1,000 a month for a badge.

Please stop wasting my time.
[Security Discussion] GOOGLE_USER:
Is it not you who is wasting your time?

Your input was neither requested nor required for the OP's stated purpose.

OP sought input from respondents -if any- and it would seem that it is your intent to waste his/her time.

Perhaps let this play out as it will. If you are confident in your truths then fear not the illuminations.
[Security Discussion] SkewedZeppelin:
Trend Micro has since reclassified divestos.org as:

"Safe / Computers / Internet;Noteworthy"
[Security Discussion] GOOGLE_USER:
I see that.

A step in a positive direction for your endeavors, no?

Something you've changed or explained via a convincing communication with them?

Or do they just whimsically impose/rescind such judgments sans explanation to those affected?
[Security Discussion] applyscience:
that makes sense to stop using it, especially when it use to be free, but why did it take your 3rd response to the topic to get to there?

1. thats great.

2. so you DO care and requested a reclassify request. Why was that so hard to just admit to? Why did everything you reply with say one thing yet your actions do another? you could have just said "thats not good but i assure you its wrong and will request them to change it" hell, i even said mcafee was

************, YOU came to ME. I brought up a concern and specifically didn't tag you because I was looking for input form others as you dont ask people labeled scammers if they are one.

You're whole reply could have been

"**** Mcafee, they want money now but ill put a request into TM. Not a concern for myself but it only takes 10 seconds and dont want any potential users to be concerned"

Can someone make an app for the Today screen that would allow the blank space on the screen to react to a touch by "pushing" the Today screen items off the screen so i can just see my wallpaper and top & bottom nav bars? Touching the screen that does not cause another Today item to activate would use the blank space on the screen to be used as an action. when touched it would either push the items off the screen or simpy make them dissappear or re-appear... The home screen can get so cluttered with all the notifications and info, sometimes it's nice to just see the background image.

My touch pro seems to have real bluetooth issues with my JVC KD-NX5000 stereo system. My kaiser worked flawlessly with it but with the touch pro it wont pair at times and when it does it wont let me use any of the many functions that the stereo offers (voice dialing, downloaded phonebook, etc) I assume this is a problem with the ms bluetooth stack and was wondering how tough of a job it would be to switch to a broadcomm stack or if anyone has thought about making a custom rom with the broadcomm stack. Just curious if Im the only one with issues with wm 6.1 and bluetooth.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cosmodk:
i have the same problem with my diamnd anbd jvc car audio
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trinode:
Slightly OT rant:-

I had the opposite problem with pioneer + broadcom...

Pioneer only looks for handsets which identify themselves as phone or smartphone, and my device identified itself as a pda.

I actually told pioneer about the problem, and rather than forwarding on to the developers, I got a stock reply:-

"This phone is not on our compatibility list" (so we don't care)

So I went and got an MS based phone (you can change it to smartphone with a regedit).

Never buying pioneer again...

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sebasb:
Similiar issue with my opel carkit.

Tried to make the broadcom stack working, but got a memory error when opening its blue tooth manager.

After uninstalling, bluetooth didn't work at all anymore, needed to perform a hard reset.

Has anyone successfully installed the broadcom BT stack on the touchpro/raphael?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Codenix:
I found that my Touch Pro would pair and then drop out when connecting to my Kenwood DDX5032 car stereo bluetooth adaptor. I couldn't dial from the Kenwood kit, couldn't use A2DP (wouldn't even connect), and really couldn't use any Headset Profile functions at all.

I persisted with pairing and unpairing in different ways (you can initiate the pairing from the Kenwood itself rather than the phone), but nothing really worked.

Then trinode's post about changing a registry setting sent me down that track and now everything is working fine :)

I found the relevant setting from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=290871, which is [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\sys\COD], and then changed the HTC TP default value of '5898764' (decimal), to the value from my old Dopod838Pro, which was '5374228' (in decimal).

I didn't even need to repair the Kewood to the HTC TP - it just worked straight away, as if it said "Oh, sorry, did you want me to work? I thought you wanted me to be in 'stupid' mode! My bad - everything will work now."

So all good, and thanks to trinode for pointing me in the right direction.

Codenix.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Codenix:
After hard-resetting my Touch Pro to fix another separate issue, now this problem has come back and this time changing the COD value hasn't fixed it. It would appear my previous post may have attributed my success to the wrong thing :(

The search for the answer continues!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Codenix:
I found a firmware update for my Kenwood's bluetooth adaptor which fixed the problem. I don't know why it ever worked at all before this update, but there you go!

I'll create a separate thread to share this with others in case anyone else out there has a Kenwood bluetooth kit and a Touch Pro or a Diamond.

Thanks.

I have read about people getting widevine L1 on their rooted devices and custom roms, i tried it too with copying "a" partition to the "b" partition before flashing anything (recovery is a live boot) but the moment mu bootloader is unlocked i have widevine L3 no matter what (using "fastboot oem unlock " and "fastboot flashing unlock")... Even when i pass safetynet and such i never get back to L1

Is there anyone that knows how to do it?

[OnePlus 9 Pro] mac796:
No custom ROM just stock, rooted. I can't remember which command I used. I think I tried both. But first time I did get L3. I think I used msm then tried again. Got L1
[OnePlus 9 Pro] tech_head:
Stock and rooted with Magisk.

I'm showing Widevine L1. I'm also passing safety net and able to use GPay (Oxygen OS 11.2.9.9)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] DevilRockr:
Ok I will tell what helped me gaining L1 from L3,

1. First just flash oos 11 using msm tool, please do this step is a must.

2. Now update to the latest available firmware using OTA. (11.2.9.9 or above)

3. Now reboot to bootloader

4. Use this command only to unlock

"Fastboot flashing unlock" for this you need latest fastboot and adb older adb and fastboot fails for l1.

5. Now boot (your data will be wiped)

6. Do not install DRM info app at this point.

7. Now enable usb debugging enable adb and connect to pc

8. Remove 2 Netflix apps that are pre install either by pm uninstall command if you dont know donwload debloater from here and then remove:

https://xdaforums.com/t/script-2021-01-30-v2-9-universal-android-debloater.4069209/

9. After removal of netflix reboot your phone.

10. Now install Drm info and check your phone should be L1.

11. Now root using magisk canary enable zygisk and enable deny list, select google play services (all from sublist), and install safetynet-fox 2.2.0 from here: "https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix"

12. Clear data for google play services reboot.

13. Enjoy l1 and play store certified device...
