[Patch] DroidDream rageagainstthecage malware exploit [CWM zip

I read this post and was wondering if the latest serendipity is protected against this exploit

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Yes, mikey/chance have included the fix, if you check /system/bin for a file called "profile" and it's 0.0 bytes, then you're safe. But if for some reason you're profile file has anything over 0.0, I would flash to stock, and master clear. but that's just in ref to the rageagainsttgecage thread

How do you replace the old one with this? Steam, or replace files before flashing?

Do I need to update the gb kernel to the gb latest if I'm running 2.0?

If I flash Steam, that only replaces the recovery and it does not replace the kernel. Correct?

Very nice rom - awesomeness certainly has exploded. This is the best out of the box experience I've had so far, and I have flashed them all.

However.........

How can one remove the heading from the extended power button menu?

If you're really liking green icons, can you colorize / color up the extended power & setup menu icons?

New Settings.apk

Hello forum,

I have recompiled the Settings.apk to remove the Lockscreen wallpaper option.

I am pretty sure that it would only work with the default samsung launcher and gallery.

Please Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

If you want to give it a try just DL and follow standard operating procedure.

Again just place zip on SD

reboot to Recovery and install

Thanks,

From the Serendipity website:
[Captivate Android Development] TigerEnigma:
These are my opinions and by no means do I claim to be an expert, there are tons of people on here more knowledgeable than I...with that said:

Battery issues can be a multitude of things:

Kernel - Hardcore's Speed Mod with tweaks enabled or variant (ie Onix/Suckerpunch)

UV Kernel - You could undervolt the kernel to improve battery life without overclocking it with voltage app and uv/oc capable kernel. (Onix/Suckerpunch)

ROM - Depends on what your looking for, but Serendipity has always been a good choice.

Use - What is your heaviest usage? Phone calls, messaging, games, browsing etc? What programs are you running that maybe running in the background?

Set screen display brightness down to zero

Purchase a larger capacity battery - I personally bought a Mugen 1650 mah battery recently, I have not tested it throughly but I would say it helps.

Also, there are some good posts on battery issues and tips that would cover a lot of this much better.

Hope it helped!

CONGRATS to MikeyMike & Chance on the AndroidCentral crown of achievement...well deserved gentelmen.

Hey guys. I was having what I believe to be terrible battery life (approx 6.2% per hour) since flashing 6.3. Monday evening I flashed Xcal's latest kernel (2.3.5) and my battery usage is down to 3.26% per hour. I changed absolutely nothing else and my usage varies very very little from day to day.

My Linpack scores dropped from an average of 14.08 to 13.86. Measurable yes, but no noticeable performance change.

Can anyone tell me the differences between Hardcore's kernel and Xcal's kernel?

quick question re flashing from 6.2 to 6.3

When flashing from 6.2 to 6.3, do I have to rename the zip file from the original name to update.zip when placed on the phone? Or can I just leave the zip file name as is and reboot into recovery mode, pick the zip file on the sdcard, and done.

Thanks so much for answering the noob question.

I have to admit, I've flashed a few roms inbetween serendipity 6.2/6.3 but I keep coming back after an hr or so because there is always something missing.

Every time I flash something new I feel like I'm cheating on someone. It makes me feel cheap and dirty, like spending a cpl of hrs in a cheap motel.

I try to scrub myself clean afterwards but my conscience gets the best of me.

I apologize for not being faithful, please forgive me. I'm begging you to take me back. I promise never to stray again if you give me one more chance.

I flashed 6.3 to my Cappy, and now it runs much much better than it did with 6.0. I also updated the speedmod kernel to the newest release.

One thing, though, is that now the phone is full of text glitches. When I hold the power button I get a screen with the following options:

-Screen lock

-SIM Services

-Sound Is Off

-Phone Options

-Reboot

-If incorrect password entered again, the

My battery llife is poor, need advice.

I'm down to 5% after 12 hours 22 minutes unplugged. Fairly light usage.

My son has been using 6.3 and the Paragon4 #3 Kernel at 1400 and undervolted with great success so during his spring break at home, I converted too.

Performance is excellent -- smooth, fast, stable.

I always show screen as the big user -- 87% right now.

I use Task Killer and have been trying to eliminate any apps that continue to run even though I am not using them. Got rid of my weather widget with is always running. I also use TouchDown so it is receiving mail all day long but most of the time I'm reading it on my PC, not the phone.

Should I go back to the original Kernel? I didn't have 6.3 installed long enough to get a read on its battery drain before moving to the Paragon kernel.

Any recommendations in addition to turning down the screen brightness?

Yes. Every 30 minutes your phone kicks on the internet and says "HEY GAIZ ANY NEW MAIL!?!" whether there's new mail or not. If you have it on push, your phone only downloads the mail when/if it gets there.

Now if you get a new email every 15 minutes, push might be worse. But generally it's better.
