hello,

Pixel launcher keep crashing when multitasking is used with3rd party launcher.

Currently using Nova Launcher Prime beta 8.0.6 (tried also latest Nova from Play Store).

I have the same issue with Android 13.

Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
May be a nova launcher bug
[Google Pixel 7a] pajos.gabros:
no, it isnt.

Tried many other 3rd way launchers, always crashed.

It has something to do with Pixel Launcher, that´s sure.
[Google Pixel 7a] maddeath:
Glad to know it's not just me. I switched to the MS launcher thinking it was an issue with Apex launcher classic, but it's still doing the same thing. MS worked fine for like a day, but then started acting up.

Update: per a post on Reddit this was an issue with the beta builds too, but has been fixed in the lastest beta. The comments state some 3rd party launchers like Smart and Niagara are working ok.

when animations are disabled, multitasking keeps crashing :(

when animations are in default 1.0x or 0.5x via developer settings, it works!

Hello

I have developed a program for car heating with B4A and it has been working fine since yesterday. After the watch upgraded itself the program was shown in 1/4 sector window...don't know what caused that but tried to install it again and ADB debugging is missing totally in developers settings.

I read that latest android may take it away for security reasons, if I am right.

How to transfer the apk to the watch now?

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

I learned that all Android firmwares has a few intentionally unpatched vulnerabilities and malware or rootkits can be installed trough them remotely.

Does anyone know a fork or custom rom which is secure?

As far as I Know, Google and NSA forces the developers to keep these backdoors open.

IOS is vulnerable to, but now I use samsung phones (Samsung Galaxy A3 - SM-A320FL & Samsung Galaxy A12 - SM-A125F). My enemies hacked all of them from remote.

With this rootkit my screen content is being streamed and can be controlled from remote.

It turned out that all the "official" firmwares which can be downloaded from samfw and sammobile are hacked.

But I heard, all the forks, even LineageOS and ParanoidAndroid are vulnerable too. Im not sure if its true.

Thank you in advance for the replies.

Dear Oswald,

Thank you for the quick response.

It is my understanding that this post should be in a thread which is seen by pro developers.

Indeed there are a few forks and custom ROMs that are designed to be more secure than the stock firmware that comes with most Android devices. Here the most popular secure custom ROMs

GrapheneOS

CalyxOS

LineageOS

CopperheadOS
[General Questions and Answers] LegendOcta:
Hello.

I'm not sure what you mean by having a few intentionally unpatched vulnerabilities. Government agencies like NSA 'probably'/'might' know of several security vulnerabilities they can use to hack their target systems, but these information is of course not known to the public so nobody can patch them until they get known.

I'm also not sure what you mean by your enemies hacking you remotely. I'll be able to be more helpful if you provide more context..

Official firmwares downloaded from Sammobile and Samfw are not modified by a third party and they are the same as official samsung releases.

If you're wanting more privacy I'd just suggest staying away from GApps and proprietary services like Facebook or Google, and using a free operating system like LineageOS, GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, DivestOS and ParanoidAndroid.
[General Questions and Answers] llldannylll:
Hello HexagoWin,

Just to let you know, these vulnerabilities are being sold on the black market and these hacks and rootkits are being sold on Blackhat conferencies for criminals. I would need a secure rom for Samsung phones like A3 and A12.

Thank you,
[General Questions and Answers] LegendOcta:
Of course, those vulnerabilities get sold on the black market and well, needless to say these are all unpatched on all existing android roms until they get released to the open and gets patched by upstream (android).

Your best bet is to just install the latest patch by your manufacturer (samsung) or your rom builder (lineageos or whoever, though LineageOS doesn't have official builds for your device, if you care so much about security to the point of suspecting Google for intentionally injecting vulnerabilities I suggest you build your rom yourself).
[General Questions and Answers] llldannylll:
I dont know this vulnerability and doesnt know how to exploit it,

but I Reflashed the phones without internet access (no sim or wifi) and installed a firewall package trough usb,

the phone hacked anyway after I went out to the Internet.. Yes, of course I firewalled everything. The vulnerability must be in the kernel or in a system service which doesnt show up in the apps or packages (so the firewall app doesnt see it). I used rethink firewall, which seems to be a good choice...

I suspect if its true, I mean if its a service , then its possibly running as root.

This is a great problem, because Ive been told even the most up-to-date androids are vulnerable too.

Thank You for the response, but in order to build a firmware to my phone I would need to know a repository where I could find a secure code.
[General Questions and Answers] LegendOcta:
I don't know what you're keep referring to as getting hacked. WDYM you're "getting hacked anyway"??

If you're referring to the initial Google setup screen as a spyware/malware and saying that's being hacked, well.. things are that way nowadays and you should get a custom rom without GApps in it.
[General Questions and Answers] llldannylll:
(A moderator moved this post to this thread.

THIS Is NOT THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.)

Hello Everyone with Samsung devices,

Please check out ReThink firewall from f-droid repo (Im not sure if it could be downloaded from somewhere else).

From Google play store the noroot firewall is a good choice, but its not as good as rethink.

After I installed a firewall to my Samsung Galaxy phone/device it turned out that every application wants to connect to the internet even with synchronization or backup turned off.

Not just the calendar is being automatically uploaded but the samsung notes and other stuff as well.

Please check it out and you will see.

Im writing this, because it seems there are users on this forum who wants to mislead people and spoils threads instead of helping.

I suppose they work for the manufacturers.

Regards,
[General Questions and Answers] llldannylll:
I already explained everything. Please stop spamming. Maybe someone else is going to understand my posts.
[General Questions and Answers] llldannylll:
Any ideas, developers?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Here is a table comparing the two firewall apps:

Feature	Rethink Firewall	NoRoot Firewall
Requires root access	Yes	No
Features and customization options	More	Fewer
Can block ads and trackings	Yes	No
Can create custom rules for specific apps	Yes	No
Can monitor network traffic	Yes	No
Ease of use	More difficult	Easier

Which firewall app you choose will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you have root access and want the most powerful and customizable firewall app available, then Rethink Firewall is the better choice. If you do not have root access or want a simpler and easier-to-use firewall app, then NoRoot Firewall is the better choice.
[General Questions and Answers] shibaa987:
When you say hacked means some external connection is made to your phone.

You yourself can trace what is happening in your network (not just your phone) when that happens.

Instead of relying on your Android phone, you can do many more things at your network level. Install firewall on your router, then filter all the incoming network and analyze from where is it coming and to where is it going. I hope this will give you an upper hand in knowing what port are they going to.

Then analyze which app(s) on your phone is listening on the port. if the hackers are intelligent and you have many vulnerabilities on your phone then it is possible that this data will vary everytime they hack your phone.

As you have already referred that no custom ROM is safe from vulnerabilities, I suggest you to do one thing.

Every OS is comprised of small individual components such as busybox, curl, python etc. they are all vulnerable.

Find out their versions, find the available CVEs and patch them manually and rebuild an Android fork such as LineageOS which is assumed to be as clean as possible.

Above all, these are all what I could think of to help you out. My answer is definitely incomplete because I am only trying to show you in how many ways you can think to get a solution to your problem.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
IMO a funny advice: Phones typically connect to the internet via

Wi-Fi

A phone connects with a carrier to get internet access via Wi-Fi through a process called IP tunneling. When a phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, it creates a tunnel between the Wi-Fi network and the carrier's network. This tunnel allows the phone to send and receive data over the internet using the carrier's network, even though the phone is physically connected to the Wi-Fi network.

Cellular data

A phone connects with a carrier to get internet access via cellular data by using a radio connection. The phone has a built-in cellular radio that allows it to communicate with the carrier's cellular network.
[General Questions and Answers] shibaa987:
Ohh yeah, thanks for pointing that out.

In this case, he can disconnect from mobile data intentionally and should only connect to Wi-Fi to be able to analyze the uninvited guests.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Firewalls and proxies are both network security devices that can be used to protect networks from threats. However, they work in different ways and have different purposes.

Firewalls inspect and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. They can be used to block malicious traffic, such as malware and viruses, from entering a network. Firewalls can also be used to restrict access to certain websites or services.

Proxies act as intermediaries between a client device and a server. When a client device requests a resource from a server, the request goes through the proxy first. The proxy then forwards the request to the server and returns the response to the client device. Proxies can be used to improve performance, security, and privacy.

Security rules are typically based on factors such as the source and destination IP addresses, the port numbers, and the type of traffic. Personally do not believe that you will ever know a hacker's IP address thus you are able to block it. Take note that the Tor network can disguise a hacker's IP address. A firewall / proxy will not be helpful.

IMO to detect a hacker on an Android device you have to check for

Unusual behavior: If your phone is behaving strangely, such as apps launching without you touching them or the screen suddenly lighting up, it could be a sign that your phone has been hacked.

High data usage: If you notice that your phone is using more data than usual, it could be a sign that a hacker is using your phone to send or receive data.

Battery drain: If your phone's battery is draining quickly, it could be a sign that a hacker is using your phone's resources.

Unknown apps: If you see apps on your phone that you don't recognize, they could be malicious apps installed by a hacker.

Pop-ups and ads: If you are seeing a lot of pop-ups and ads on your phone, it could be a sign that your phone has been infected with malware.

Overheating: If your phone is overheating, it could be a sign that a hacker is using your phone's resources.
[General Questions and Answers] llldannylll:
Thank you for the advice. Im going to analyze the traffic without the sim card.
[General Questions and Answers] llldannylll:
No-root firewalls doesnt help this. Even LineageOS is vulnerable to remote attacks.

The following persistent rules should be added to the builds:

/usr/sbin/iptables -i !lo -A INPUT -p tcp -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

/usr/sbin/iptables -i !lo -A INPUT -p udp -j ACCEPT

/usr/sbin/iptables -i !lo -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT

/usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -i !loop

/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j ACCEPT

/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp -j ACCEPT

/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT

/usr/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -j DROP

Any advices? This vulnerability allows attackers to connect to the android devices screen and control it or install anything onto the device.

If the developers here wont help me i must compile a firmware for myself but im not experienced enough yet to accomplish this
[General Questions and Answers] immortalwon:
If what you are saying is true, which I personally believe to be true since the NSA and Google essentially have unlimited spying power and control, then wouldn't making these vulnerabilities public force them to patch them since the security community is now aware?
[General Questions and Answers] llldannylll:
Noone can force anyone to patch them, but if the vulnerability where public and i learned how the exploit works, i could do something...like compiling firewall into the firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] llldannylll:
Hello guys,

Is there any solution to mount and make a backup of the data and system partition of samsung phones?

So I could compare the hacked version to the factory default and I could send a backup of the broken firm/components to samsung and/or other android pros.

The roof is on fire. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Kind rgrds,

[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] haunfan:
I encountered difficulties installing this ROM using the provided recovery, but I successfully installed it through TWRP. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Assuming you're familiar with flashing TWRP onto your phone:

Press the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously to enter Recovery Mode with TWRP.

Wipe data by selecting all available options to clean every type of data and partition in TWRP.

Go back to the main screen, press 'Advanced,' then 'Sideload.' After that, perform 'Wipe Cache' and 'Wipe Dalvik Cache.'

Now, connect your phone to your computer. Open the ADB folder and place the ROM file and GApps inside it.

In the Command Prompt (CMD), run 'ADB devices' to check the connection between your phone and computer. If everything is in order, proceed with the following commands:

ADB sideload "name of your ROM file.zip"

Once the process is complete, type: ADB sideload "name of your GApps file.zip"

Reboot your phone after reaching this point, and you should see a pleasant loading screen."
