[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekE:
Extent of "Compromised" Detection Capabilities

So we believe that they are checking for SU access as well as the presence of certain programs. Do we know whether or not they are (or could) include the detection of a device being unlocked to this list of "compromised" criteria?

I accept what they're trying to achieve and am trying to find a way to accommodate this without giving up all the benefits of continuous root access, while simultaneously being enrolled with MDM. I'm hoping to find a methodology to temporarily use root, such that I'd not be attempting to bypass any company security measures or attempting to stay one step ahead of software changes intended to close any gaps.

With this in mind, the next best thing may be to have a means for temporarily unenrolling from the MDM server, rooting for a short time for maintenance purposes (i.e.Titanium Backup, etc), then unrooting (via some yet-to-be-determined methodology short of wiping/reflashing the whole device) and finally re-enrolling with the MDM server.

I haven't had success with this so far, but it may be the presence of some root-using app or some lingering SuperSU/app file I missed that I'm getting caught on. I've attempting to unroot via the option in SuperSU, which unroots, removes itself and requests a reboot. For the purposes of how software can determine root access (and ignoring the presence of apps or files that may "hint" of root access), is there a distinction between unrooting via SuperSU, as opposed to the full process of reflashing stock and wiping - steps involving fastboot -w update IMAGE.ZIP?

Another thing I worry about is whether AirWatch does (or would) ever go to such an extreme as to permanently blacklist a "compromised" device.. That is, if a device was ever attempted to be enrolled and was found to be "compromised", that the MDM servers would hold on to some unique identifier for this device and never allow it to recheck for being "compromised" - even if it was completely wiped and reflashed.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fintheman:
In my experience, there isn't a blacklist - as soon as your device shows back up to be an uncompromised devices, you'll be given back access.

It is a shame, they developed another APP to not allow administrator control BUT they still **** users by not allowing root.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquariumdrinker:
I know a little about Airwatch, and it is very configurable. Even if it is (or becomes) possible to blacklist, your admins would have to select that option (or would have the ability to deselect it).

I found this thread after getting a notice that my organization is adopting Airwatch. I'm hoping that I'm important enough to the company that I can tell the IT team that my devices will show up as compromised and not to worry about it. Keeping fingers crossed.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnb89:
Not True. AirWatch does block the device once it is detected as rooted. Requires your AirWatch Admin to go into the system and clear the device for re-enrollment.

What about combination of xposed module to spoof unrooted status and rename root related apps? If search in data/app for root package names, mek work. If search for exploits themselves, no work.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fintheman:
I think this depends on how it is setup. For my Fortune 100 organization, no, you can just try to re-enroll again.

I just wanna know if anything is different (music player, menu, ect ect)
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Compared with DI18, you lose the stock Android music app and it's replaced with a touchwiz one. I deleted the music player from the /system/app folder and installed "Android Music" (based off Android 2.3 music player) from the Market.

The stock Android keyboard dictionary doesn't work, fixed that by downloading Gingerbread keyboard from the Market and deleting the stock keyboards from the /system/app folder.

Stock web browser is horribly buggy. I deleted it and installed Dolphin Mini.

It's really fast as far as I've tested.
[Epic 4G General] Grogck:
I've been quite pleased thus far as well. I already found the Epic (even on 2.1) to be snappier than any non-dual core 2.2+ device I've fiddled with. This just makes it that much more smooth/powerful.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:

[Epic 4G General] husher:
Yeah you just named like 85% of the apps I use and deleted them. I would do this as well, but I don't know how... yet, I would need a painfully detailed guide or a 4 min or less youtube video showing me ( I'm a visual learner that's how I learned to root and crap). Ill have to do some digging in the forum, wiki and youtube on how todo what you did. Thanks for the heads up, rather prepare before updating and rooting than update and root and not be prepared. :)
[Epic 4G General] husher:
After I did the viper guide on how to reset your gps (it's a taxing guide) it's been good on dk28. But that's good to know that they've improved that which should have been fixed a ****le ago.
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
There are a lot of differences. Can't think of them all off the top of my head but here are a few. The settings icons are in color. There is a new messenger app. The lock screen is the same. The answer screen is the same. You can modify the home screen (add, remove rearrange and so on). You can modify the apps section icons. Color scheme on popups and menu items are better IMO. You can modify the tray icons. Media player is TW3 now.

[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I was on epic experience 2.0.7 or whatever the latest one was, with the gingerbread theme on top (DK28)

all i did was reboot into CWM, wipe data/FR, wiped DCache and regular cache, battery pulled and booted into download mode and followed the onscreen directions from the SamsungFWupdater.exe or whatever from their support website and it installed froyo flawlessly..

im not having any problems with anything...however i cant test dl speeds or anything doing with radios right now because im in a no-sprint-zone but when im in an area with service, thats gonna be the main thing i test since i HATED the dk28 modem....

my music plays

and videos

no camera lag at all, and its NOTICEABLY clearer than dk28. dk28 had grain issues with the camera in Video record mode. not no more :D :D :D it really looks 720p now...

i also rooted with the cwm 2.5.5 and it went through normally, and i have setcpu running.

My advice to you people experiencing problems, just use the samsung update thing and then run CWM 2.5.5 (or 3.0 if you want ext4. i personally dont use ext4) and your phone will be what it was supposed to be 7 months ago :D

NO DI18 NEEDED!!!!!!!

thats the link to get the samsung firmware updater.

just click on "software" and then click your corresponding OS...

it seriously does everything for you....just double click it when its done downloading and youre good!

odin is intimidating, but this is seriously a "Im holding your hand through this so you dont mess up" update from samsung...

its like the RUU for the sprint htc hero. anytime you wanted to take root out, youd just doubleclick the 2.1 RUU.exe and plug your hero in and it would flash stock 2.1

Nook Color also has a good developer community backing. Pretty easy root from what I've heard.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
The Vpad7 is pretty good. It received some crap reviews but only because its an older arm processor and not Tehran based. It is one of the most functional devices I have used out of the box and has very little bloatware installed on it. Over all its a sound device and very functional. I gave mine to my dad for use as a book reader and it is perfect for what he needed.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I've been meaning to ask the same question myself.

The Viewpad 7 seems ok, but it costs more than a Gtab doesn't it?

The Nook is a little tempting, but I think I'm a little spoiled by the Gtab :)...

Would be interested to see what others suggest/recommend.

Jim
[G Tablet General] skeeterpro:
I can appreciate what you're saying. The NC, to me, just "feels better constructed" than some others I have handled. Solid. Add in that there is an excellent developer base and active community and it would be an excellent choice for now and into the future. ("Future" being a relative term for tech!) Much would depend on what the intended use would be of course. The dual boot Viewpad is great IF you absolutely need windows. (Note I said "need" and not "want"). I suspect the NC would serve your son well and provide him a nice "starter platform" as he grows and wants to move up.

[G Tablet General] gpzjack:
Velocity Cruz any good? I can get one for $100
[G Tablet General] skeeterpro:
I do believe that with the Cruz you're starting hobbled in a way. The Reader and the Tab run 2.0 and not Froyo so flash would be just one thing missing. I know only one person who got one and returned it same week. And if you "choose" (read: fall for) ordering direct from China be ready to wait.....and wait.......and wait....for delivery. I ordered a replacement AC adapter over a month ago...guess? Waited over a month then cancelled. Seems it's ALWAYS Chinese New Year there slowing the mail. :)

Edit - Spring for the NC. You (and son) won't be disappointed I'm betting.
[G Tablet General] powerx86:
I was also in your shoes - wanted a 7" device for my father while he was doing his dialysis treatments. Basically I was looking for something a little better than just a reader. I was in Kmart and saw the Coby 7015 and got it for about $150 on black friday. I thought it was a cool little box it ran about everything, had HDMI out and good battery life. The downside - resistive touch screen. Resistive touch will have you begging for a capacitive touch screen. Resistive touch is okay for a mfg environment or a GPS device - but for a daily tablet NO. You keep wondering if you pressed hard enough. Also Angry birds runs but screen fonts are broken - meaning they do not display correctly. I rooted the thing with Z4root and loaded just about everything and used Zeam as desktop. Because of the liberal return policy during the holidays I un-rooted it and brought it back to stock state and then returned at Kmart with no restocking fee.

Velocity Cruz - This is a joke. The app store is not even an appstore but a website. It has 2.0 and no chance for 2.1 based on lack of Arm processor. I cruised forums for a hack or roms - none. Good thing about it - it has a capacitive touch screen. Returned to Best Buy and no restocking fee.

Barnes and Noble Color Nook. Bought rooted and kept for my dad. Great little cool design and battery life is great. Used nookie boot image to root it and loaded Zeam for the desktop and a bunch of apps for my dad besides ereader apps. Other positives for the NC is has support here at XDA and the NC wikis out there.

Bottom line NC is the best deal for $250. Sure I got a chance to play with others and learned what I liked and what I did not like - but the form factor, weight, and size are good for a android device that was just suppose to be a reader with some other light functions. You will not be disappointed with this device.

PS - also tried like hell to get Archos 70 but you could never get stock. They sold out or never had inventory. The Archos 7" tablets in store were with the "home tablets" versions with Android 1.5. The Archos 70 would have been easier to hack but the NC was available with inventory at launch. I personally own 2 gtablets in my family and with the support of XDA - they have become great devices. Also have an IPAD(jail broken) - love and hate it - especially hate having to use iTunes to get content on the thing.
