I don't really understand why people feel the need to get anti-virus for linux. To get something malicious you've got to install it yourself and thats pretty damn hard considering the phone will tell you what the app is tring to access and even then the app doesn't have any access to any other apps nor does it have root access to the phones file system.... the most it could really do is collect data about you, or maybe delete files on your SD card or something like that.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] TheATHEiST:
there is some very naive linux fanboys in here. there is plenty of reasons to have some sort of malware/privacy security on android. there have been various independant confirmations of apps in the market place containing malware espesially in the last month or so.

lookout is a good one or kaspersky. the both have good scanners and also can protect personal info aswell.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] darkwoof:
I would think that since the last reply was from January, people would have learnt that.. The last malware incident that got Google involved within 5 minutes and had over 50 apps pulled was pretty well publicized.

Anyway, people have got to realize that no one OS is invulnerable. It's just a matter of time before people start finding exploits when an OS gets popular - for Android that time is now. Heck, not sure how many people are aware, but roots and jailbreaks ARE exploits themselves. Trying scanning the rooting/jailbreaking tools with your desktop AV and all becomes clear.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Precisely. A rooted device is the best to attack for malware apps. If there's a developer that's smart enough, they can get pretty much anything if you're rooted.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] tgrdrgrss:
Since I'm rooted, I installed Lookout too.

Funny coz it's easily uninstalled eventhough has apps policy/administrator (I forgot the name)

Well.. I use it mainly for the Missing Device feature (paired with PREY also).
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] karl999999:
dude you did not understand the last post at all!

you dont need to have your device rooted. a normal market app can root your device without you knowing it, and can then do whatever with your device.

how do you think z4root does root your device? (z4root is an app that does root the phone for you, normally with your knowledge)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] TheATHEiST:
Dude, You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. MANY malware have been discovered as been submitted and released via market.

Does anyone have had any problem with viruses?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] koovoodoo:
I'm relatively new to the android system, but unless you do something by installing an app that requires rooting, then I don't see the scare for viruses as much.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Geletis:
It's true, I don't have a time machine.

When I wrote that quote in December of 2010, 6 whole MONTHS before you posted your comment, there hadn't been a single credible report of malware in the Android market.

Not One.

Of course, some months after I wrote that, some real honest-to-good malware was found in the market. Even though there is now malware around, anti-virus on Android is still pretty much WORTHLESS.

The problem with anti-virus software is that it ONLY finds viruses that the the virus company knows about. AV software on Android devices simply compares file signatures. The anti-virus software on Android can NOT find new, zero-day exploits. It's not smart, it just hashes an executable and determines if it matches a known signature of malware.

That systems works well enough Windows, as there is no single repository for downloading Windows software. There's no way for Microsoft to remove known malware from the entire internet.

Android does have a single software repository. Google can remove known malware. The moment a piece of software in the Android market is determined to have malware, Google pulls it. So shortly after (and sometimes before) the virus checking companies have generated a signature for a new virus, the app is already deleted from the market.

If a user downloaded a malware app from the official Android market before Google knew it was malware, it most cases, the anti-virus company wouldn't have identified it as malware either. Because of this, Android anti-virus mostly worthless.

Bottom line: If you stick to downloading from the official Android market (and perhaps the Amazon market), you'll have better protection than running a virus scanner and downloading from other sources. Google pulls malware from the market very quickly, and in some cases even uninstalls it from devices.

Now if you're downloading warez, you may want a virus scanner. Even then, unless the virus company has scanned that exact suspect warez file, the scanner may not identify the virus as a virus.

Users are far, far, FAR safer sticking with the official Android market than they are running a virus scanner and downloading from unknown sources.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jam3l:
Hello I used Unrevoked 3.21 to root my evo. It flashed the Unrevoked Forever so i was S-OFF. I have already flashed the S-ON tool and I can confirm that I am S-ON. I want to become unrooted. Can I use the latest OTA (3.70) to become unrooted? I tried the "Unrooted in two steps method using the PC36IMG" but when I reboot into Recovery it checks the image and says that the image is wrong. Basically I wanted to know if I could unroot by installing the latest OTA. By the way I am not running any custom firmware, I am using the Htc Evo 4g Froyo update and my hardware version is 003. By the way if I can use the latest OTA can someone provide me with a link to the latest OTA. Thanks

[Intercept General] greggypoo:
Hi all -

I'm orienting myself to the boot loader on my Intercept in preparation for some hacking -- I want to be sure I understand all the various recovery options I have. Plus I'm curious.

The Intercept seems to have a "secondary boot loader" in /dev/block/bml2, which appears to be the well-known Samsung "sbl". I believe this is responsible for implementing "download mode", which is what SWUpdate talks to. Has anyone had any luck using a tool like Heimdall or Odin with the Intercept to talk to the sbl?

Also, from looking inside sbl, it looks like there are strings for a basic commandline interface not dissimilar from "grub" or more popular open source bootloaders (I remember one called "bootldr" on my iPaq years ago?). It has help for commands like "nandwrite", "loadrecovery", "loadkernel", and many many more. Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks, - Greg

Yep, I've got it.

[Desire General] ste1164:
Put it on your what? xD But I'll wait here for you.
[Desire General] mikep99:

you should be able to get it now from http://91.109.1.220/nand/

let me know if you're able to download it.
[Desire General] ste1164:
Ah right thanks for the download.
[Desire General] ste1164:
Ah great it's still not working :/ I have had it working loads but it refuses now :(
[Desire General] mikep99:
Bootloop?

I'm guessing it depends on what is in the OTA update that's flashed on top of the existing setup.
[Desire General] ste1164:
Yea but usually if I flash the froyo update a couple of times it gets rid of clockwork mod recovery maybe I need a newer nandroid.
[Desire General] ste1164:
After I get rid of clockworkmod I can usually flash the update again and it removes bootloops.
[Desire General] mikep99:
The nand I've tried with was taken just before the last update. So, no updates missed.

For the future, if there's anyone out there running a rooted upto date Orange handset, please take a nand and share.

Then, when another update comes through, we can try again :)
[Desire General] ste1164:
Well it used to work I'm just confused why it doesn't now.
[Desire General] mikep99:
And you've tried your old nand and update?
[Desire General] ste1164:
I put my old nand on flash the update and all that happens is that it sits on the htc logo after I reboot when the update.zip has finished installing.
[Desire General] mikep99:
Is that with the old update? Not the most recent?

If so, that's weird as its worked before....
[Desire General] ste1164:
Yea I put the old one on first then kinda update with the next .zip then the bnext one. The 2.17.61.2 update usually removes the clockworkmod recovery.
[Desire General] mikep99:
Does your phone work with the 2.17.61.2 update? Without applying the most recent ota? But still with clockworkmod.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PyxisStudios:
Was wondering if it was possible for one of you geniuses to port a working version of the Vibrant's camera.apk over to the HTC EVO. The Vibrant has this sweet stitcher that I desperately desire from my 8MP Evo. I did try extracting the camera apk from an update (Camera-Update-signed.zip ,

not sure exactly who's that is, but I got it from around here) but it will not install. Could someone figure out how to get the SGS vibrant camera.apk to work for my EVO pls.

Much respect.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jumaaneface:
if there is any possibilty of it working u would need all the libs and camera firmware files. it would also be better to use the i9000 one since it supports ffc. u will most likely lose anything above 5mp. i doubt it will work
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PyxisStudios:
Thank your for the reply. I will look into it with the information you gave. I do not know a great deal about how this is done, but I think it would be worth a shot because I really miss the camera app from the vibrant. Fact is it is honestly the only thing I miss about switching to the EVO. Thanks for the help. I will be asking more as I work on the project.

I have all 3 phones to and my HD2 never gets used anymore. The MT4G is the best android phone available IMO. Its my goto phone. The power and speed of it is great. I also get 4G speed in KC and I avg 7-10mbs.

After a couple days with the HD7 it is quickly becoming my fav phone. Right now its more for entertainment though with Netflix and Zune. The no multitasking is a lil frustrating but besides that I really enjoy it.

My poor HD2 is collecting dust. I would sell it, but I love it to much. So it remains on my Active (semi retired) list with my nexus one.
[HD7 General] Rouz.:
It depends on you for sure ... If you like wp7, then HD7 is the right phone for you. If you prefer android, then you must get the mytouch 4g.

I like HD2 too, In fact i do miss my HD2 sometimes. but i believe mytouch 4g is a better choice for android.

update 18.01.2011

you can now download a fixed CyanogenMod 701162011-NIGHTLY-NS with Hebrew fixed:

Download Here

*Note* if you will update your CyanogenMod-7 to the latest version you will Overwrite the fix. so wait for the fix to be implemented at the next roms before Upgrading. (or just extract the files and push them with adb...)

I recently flashed the MoDaCo r3 ROM (GRH78) on my Nexus S.

It is great.

However there is a problem with Hebrew + RTL + BiDi

Sometimes Hebrew is not aligned correctly to the right.

And there is a problem when writing a number in a sentence.

For example if i send an SMS "the number 46" the Recipient gets "the number 64"

At the Gmail 2.3.2 app Hebrew is presented backwards/scrambled at the titles.

Also i can not add Hebrew Lang to the 2.3.1 keyboard as an Additional Lang

There for i have to use a different keyboard to write in Hebrew.

Is there a zip to flash that is fixing all the above on 2.3.1 ?
