[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
So, er, what's wrong with the ROM author posting the md5sum?

It's good to be paranoid about security, but lets face it, the only 100% secure system is one that is in a locked box with no network/internet connection.

Security is always a best efforts basis and on top of that, the effort put into the security is always only as much as the project is worth.

Am I going to invest in multiple thousands of pounds worth of security software and checking just for my free to the public ROMs? Hell no. I'll publish the md5 and have done with it.

No, it isn't foolproof and there has been an occasion where I needed to make a fix to a ROM after posting and forgot to edit the md5sum. Hey ho, it's only a phone ROM, it was fixed no harm no foul.

As pulser said you're only one hundred and eleventy percent safe if you make the ROM youself after checking every line of code in AOSP. Worth it? No. After all, what's to stop an actual trusted ROM author or group putting something malicious into a ROM and providing the legit md5sum?

Nothing. Which is why there's always a level of trust involved too. Because we work on trust, 100% absolute security goes out of the window, especially where layer upon layer of security through obscurity just isn't worth it and in most cases, is counter productive.

In short croques, you're making giant Everests out of the smallest possible molehill. You're not being forced to use the OP's repository, no one is. Stick with sources you trust. If you don't trust anybody, make your own ROM or stick with HTC's stock.

But then again, HTC have released genuine updates that have turned Heros into apparent bricks, so the conundrum continues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm giving this a fair trial folks.

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=2037&p=20994#p20994

has the signed MD5 file of a new ROM. If it's popular, I will continue it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] croques:
damascene conversion...

Yes, and thank you for your efforts. But flagging it thus on villain.co.uk is not helpful ...

"Edit by pulser: for the stupidly paranoid, here is a signed (GPG) md5 checksum..."

Just remember the Gentoo distribution of Linux was compromised at source and, it is believed, went undiscovered for several months.

We now need all other ROM producers to do the same. And if a Mod could find it in their heart to put a sticky up extolling the virtues of download verification and the use of checksums and PGP, for punters like me, we may have the beginnings of a safer ROM scene.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Well, trouble is, that we don't want users coming to us and asking what that file is. I will be perfectly honest and say that I seriously doubt more than a couple of people will download it. But I'll offer it for now :)

Only issue people will need to accept is that I can't offer a signed checksum if a ROM is released during day, as I only have that key on a non-internet connected PC at home (with full disk encryption). So that can only come in evenings when i get home.

Also, this does raise another issue - key security. At present, I am the only one with access to this key. Personally, I don't like using "group keys", so what is best? A "VillainROM" key with shared password? Or individual keys for each of us, which we list as trusted somewhere?

BTW, i have changed the wording on the post to give this a fair trial, as I accept that it was perhaps discouraging people, though I doubt many will download it. But that's besides the point...

I am continuing to look at other security measures :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] croques:
It's all a bit like Health & Safety legislation. We all think the H&S excesses are pretty daft until that time a chunk of masonry falls on our hard hat or we fall on our coccyx after slipping on a wet patch on the floor at the local supermarket.

By putting schemes in place you are safe-guarding the future and that is already some small deterrent for the bad-guys even if many punters don't download your files. It would only need one person to notice a discrepancy and ask questions.

So, I for one hope you will continue with it regardless of apparent use.

I haven't been around here long but it strikes me Villain are one of the better organized groups - shame about the name though:); how can we get the other developer teams taking similar measures?

The silence from the guy proposing the ROM hosting site is pretty deafening; wassup?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
The guy is real busy getting his site going, as I've been in contact with him quite a lot :)

I don't have any idea how other devs can be persuaded to take similar measures, but I personally won't be going all-out to encourage this, as I unfortunately have other things to do that are more pressing than telling people how to use PGP. But this is the first time I have used PGP, so I see no reason anyone else would have issues.

It ain't hard, so it's up to the other devs. Make PGP keys (as large as possible), set a very strong password on the private key, upload your public key and then sign the files. And provide a way for folk to get your public key (like the Key-ID I posted), and that should be it :)

Hi Guys,

What would be the consequences of flashing JG1 firmware on an Australian bought (From Optus / Singtel) Samsung Galaxy S.

Is it possible to do this and if not is it possible to do this with other firmwares as i wish to root this device and load custom roms.

Thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
Should be fine... I'm got mine on optus too and flashed JFB, worked fine.

Only thing is, I think I'm actually getting more stalls and worse battery life with this firmware. However it's hard to tell if an app/apps are causing it or whether it's the firmware.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nessqn:
Hi friends,

I am pairing my HD2 with Garmin nuvi via bluetooth for hands free operation in my car.

When i don't place HD2 in the Car Kit,nuvi speakers are active,which i prefer.:)

But when i place HD2 in the Car Kit,the HD2 speakers becomes active for a call which i dont prefer due to poorer audio quality.:mad:

Is there anyway i can disable this feature so that the call audio comes out thru the nuvi speakers only even if i place HD2 in the car kit?:confused:(Of corse,there is an option in nuvi to "Transfer sound to unit from phone" but it has to be done for each call you can guess how annoying it is to do this for each call while driving.:(

Thanks,

What you need to do is figure out what firmware version you have and then use the search function of this board to find out how to root your version, the development forums on xda is not the place to be asking these kinds of trivial questions that can be easily found with search.

Hi

I dont get whats the advantage of the app.

If I press the Power on/off button short-> Stand by. press it longer-> "off button" appears on the display, and if I press further on till the vibration starts->soft reset.

I got that on every rom (standard 6.1, 6,5; novembers, ffboys,...) till now.

What did i get wrong?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] fitzy-boy:
Hi maxmobil201,

Thanks for your post. I'll be honest I didn't know that holding the power button in for 5 seconds reset the device, however what I have done is modified the endkey3.6 English.cab and added the options of turning Bluetooth on/off, Wifi on/off, Data Connections on/off, Vibrate on/off, Screen off, Soft reset & Shutdown which will execute with a longkey press on the TG01.

All in all you've got nothing wrong per se :-P, however some people may find the feature useful with the extra options included.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kruithofm:
Hi,

I searched through everywhere but did not find a real good answer.

On my HD2 Phone Memory I have a few files that have strange filenames with strange characters. I want to remove them but then it says it can't cause the file is corrupt. (Don't think they are corrupt, just problems with the filenames) I also tried to remove the whole directory but then it removes all files in the directory but not those strange ones and then it can't remove the directory cause it is not empty. Also tried to rename them, but it also is telling me the files are corrupt.

The only option I found that probebly will work is the Hard Reset, but I don't want to do that since I want to remove them for my backup program wich also can't handle these files.

Now, I tried the original explorer, the Resco explorer and Total commander.

Does anyone has an idee how to remove them?

thanks

Is there nobody with an idea?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
are these in your device memory or on the sdcard ....

if they are in Device memory I would say a Hard Reset is your only option to fix it, but if you have corrupt files in device memory , you may have a hardware issue ...

If you have corrupt files on your SD card, copy everything you can to your pc and then format the card ... and then put your stuff back ...

If it does it again, in either place, you may have some hardware problems ...

OR, this could be too, had it on a guys phone the other day, PC infected with a virus that keeps trying to spread to the phone every time it is plugged into the PC ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kruithofm:
watcher64,

Thanks for the answer,

It is in device memory and it is not a hardware issue since it is only from one app. YouTube. Obviosly it is the caching (windows/YouTube)

I use an other YouTube Application now. But the other files I can't remove. I did not want to hard reset since I don't want to reinstall all the stuff. Eventualy I will reinstall with a newer ROM. But I was planing to see how stable this rom is and just try using it for at least 3 months. I can backup everything with excluding that specific directory. But I just will keep trying to remove those files.

So if there is anyone out there that knows how to remove those files.....

Are there tools for this filesystem, (wich filesystem is it?)
