i just got the mail from google that they will install the security patch on my device today...

now i was wondering wich app was the malware, and it was the weird pewpew - i lastly installed that awsome game, but first i installed the wrong one with the chinese signs..

but im on android 2.3.2, so why google still wants to install the update Oo

and since then.. i flashed a new rom, but recovered my data like i always do..

should i now do a fresh install? :/ im a bit confused cause i got the mail even if im on 2.3.2... >.<
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
which phone? (the one in your signature is a WinMo phone)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Spl4tt:
my sig is right

the HD2 is an official WinMo phone, but inofficial it runs 5 different OS's....

check HD2 forums ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
that's cool...i didnt know that. i am not sure that the security patch on 2.3 is related...i do not have any information about that patch
[Epic 4G Android Development] Spl4tt:
hmm.. it has installed itself now. then i uninstalled it, and one day later, it installed itself again..

seems like u cant get rid off it.. google acc. is registred to it :/

well, wont be that bad..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
see if you can snag the update file and link it to me and i'll look at it and see if i can tell what it updates
[Epic 4G Android Development] Spl4tt:
how to?^^

u can dload the update too from the market.. its named android market security tool..

btw, am i the only one that was so stupid and dloaded the wrong pewpew? xD

How does one know to run the edify / pre edify?

I'm running a Fascinate with 2.1, and CWM recovery 2.5.x.x

Sorry and thanks for the help, just wanted to be sure!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
you would flash in cwm...if you are unsure you can try one of the other methods in the original post
[Epic 4G Android Development] AtropineNa:
Yeah but which file do you run? There are two listed in the OP

edify.zip or preedify.zip? Thanks!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
if you have cwm 2.5 i would try the pre-edify version first

I've been running AVG AntiVirus since I was on Syndicate 2.1, and recently upgraded to Syndicate 2.2. I download mp3's using an app called MP3 Downloader, sometimes download random pics for my live wallpaper slideshow app. Am I just waisting space by using AVG since you've done such cool things within your ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lawrence750:
wouldn't droidwall do a good enough job for protection? assuming i didn't give any dodgy app internet access?

then wouldn't it just stop any traffic thus preventing any malware downloading new code?
[Epic 4G Android Development] (•.•):
security? hahaha... not

revive. just saw the androidpolice article linking to this.. btw, many people have a firmware under gingerbread and are still affected by this!

i bet 743C is a alias for a government payed hacker..

but whatever, look how easy it is to get your data, i think with a high percentage, even with gingerbread there are still spyfeatures like this backdoor.

the biggest backdoor by the way is google itself with the market and all other google apps.

Just check the structure of the apps and read there agreements.. and read some news/articles how they all want your data.

I even believe, they make fotos with the front camera while you doing something, like creating a new google account.. high probality.

believe it, you would wonder alot if you would knew what they do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
i've also implemented this in my kernel and i know a few other developers have :)

in my custom init script:

# Patch to attempt removal and prevention of DroidDream malware
if [ -f "/system/bin/profile" ]; then
rm /system/bin/profile
fi
touch /system/bin/profile
chmod 644 /system/bin/profile

rom devs could put that in init.d as well if they wanted to :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
It's in my kernel that's for sure. Will be in 1.3 as well.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beelbeel:
I have been trying a number of clock widgets lately, and they all seem to make scrolling between home screens lag a bit. I am currently using Simi widget and cm7 rc1, and when I drag over to the screen that has the widget on it, the dragging motion gets choppy.

I know this is a minoor complaint, given that the overall performance of this phone is stellar, but it still gets to me. Does everybody else get this to a noticeable degree? I can see why some lag is to be expected, but are some widgets better than others?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSHELF:
Hmmm another vague post. Which kernel and what rom? run it at 1017mhz using interactive and you won't have any lag matter of fact I tested it on 368mhz, 768mhz and still no lag in my end set at ondemand.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beelbeel:
I mentioned in the post that I am using CM7 RC1, and I am using whichever kernel comes with it. I will try fiddling with setcpu settings to see if I can get an improvement.

I turned on the adw scrolling cache, which most people recommend not doing, but I think it may have made things smoother.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSHELF:
My bad confused you with the other guy who posted in this same section :P well ATM I manually removed ADW and replaced it with ADW Ex. But I tested it and do remember running it even at 368mhz with no lag. Revert back to the original setting and then use interactive governor beyond 768mhz depending on how intensive your widgets are. You can do it from CPU settings if you don't want to install SetCPU.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
I'm using fancy widget for my clock. I don't see any lag between screens with it. I'm also using cpu tuner to set my profile triggers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer_raj:
First of all thanx to XDA developers ,helped me alot,

i got this phone from roger and now i m using it in india in vodafone network...

so before asking my question..i will even try to help others by mentioning what i did,

my phone was network locked by rogers...

it was bought in December 2010...and i tried everything..like gettin one click root..and using that update.zip method but didnt work...

then i rooted thru z4root...it was very easy and worked like charm..

though i still dont know why i needed to root...and what extra facility i get after rooting...

then thru some xda thread i got to know abt helroz app..which i downloaded from market..as i could use my wifi connection...

and yes it asked that i needed my phone to be rooted for the app to work..

it just took 4 min..TOTAL..to get my phone unlocked after rooting it....

(to get the app from market..and then get clicked on unlock..and it asked one or 2 more steps..SELF EXPLANATORY and rebboot)

then i used kies to upgrade it to 2.2 froyo...coz lot of apps were not working properly like skype and yahoo...

and they all started working fine...after the upgrade...

and then i used the code *2767*3855# to reset my phone to factory setting..

so thats about it..

and now when i hav started using it fully...

and now i found out that it doesnt hav fm like other galaxy s...and i dont see the option of video callin which i see in galaxy..though there are 2 small dots r near the speaker...

i m so disappointed abt not having videocall and front camera...

though fm i dont use more so tahts allright..

1)so i was hoping that may be those dots r camera but disabled by roger and using some diff firmware would bring that up...

2)and i m missing few more things which i used in nokia...like i didnt find the message count log..and i couldnt find data use counter..so i get to know taht how much data i m using thru my phone..

as of now i hav only these question..tomo i will connect thru my vodafone data plan(as i m connecting to internet using my wifi)

and if i face more problem then will ask again

and i m just very new here on this forum..and very new to use android...always was a nokia lover..that works on symbian..

so if my this question is annoying or violates any of ur terms and condition..then i m sorry in advance

and thanx in advance for my question gettin answerd

and i would like to help ppl too..once i learn all abt android...

Search for 3G data counter for tracking data. It tracks EDGE data too, and works quit well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shust82:
The two dots are a light sensor and a proximity sensor. the captivates are not equipped with front cameras or fm radios. Download rogers myaccount to find out how much data you have used.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer_raj:
thanx.. for clearing the dot concept...i guessed 1 as light sensor already..but didnt figure out proximity sensor...

and i cant use rogers my ac ..as i told u i m not using it in canada and in rogers...

now i m using it in india and in vodafone...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
When u use 3g data counter, I would recommend add a buffer of 5-10%. I normally set my monthly as monthly limit - 20% so I know I am reaching my limit earlier than the last minute. Helps to have a little buffer space :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer_raj:
hey when i m looking in the market..i m finding many applications like net counter..data counter widget....call meter 3g..and many more..they all hav mixed reviews...can u tell me which one i exactly need to install..or if u can send me the barcode...or can tell me the name of the developer..so taht would be nice and then i can download...

thanx in advance

[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
Here you folks go. Off of my phone to you. http://www.multiupload.com/YOXKQ18YW0. You Must have 2.1 with the 3.6 Update. I would recommend making a backup before applying. Use at your own use. If you get a Status 7 error, see my thread in the General forum on how I resolved it. Have Fun!
[Defy Android Development] blacklion33:
how is it? faster than 2.1?
[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
Oh yeah. More bloatware, but that's easy to remove. Internet speed is faster. Phone is more responsive. Nice to have the Hotspot feature now. Overall a worthy upgrade. Now to wait for 2.3 :D
[Defy Android Development] paijho158:
can i use this update for my finland rom 3.42? or this is just for TMo version?
[Defy Android Development] no clue:
Would you happen to have original t-mobile 2.1 in sbf format? :p
[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
Unfortunately no-one has one for the US. I'm guessing you updated to the leaked version? The good news is that if my suspicion is correct a nandroid backup of this should play fine with the updated firmware. If you look at the difference its minor. 34.4.9 vs 34.4.4. I have not yet had the time to make one yet. I'll try to do so tonight.
[Defy Android Development] nanek921:
What did you have to do with the update.zip in order to upgrade your defy? I'm on 2.1 with the 3.6 update, I'm rooted with superoneclick, and I have it copied to the root of my sd. Did you use clockworkmod recovery?
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Its an update zip file signed by company so you should enter stock recovery by power+vol down and then select update from zip.
[Defy Android Development] no clue:
hmm... how about flash 3.4.2-107 TMobile US Blur with RSDlite and then

update.zp?
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
Just tried it. No go.

It checks for the right build fingerprint before it continues. You need to have 6.36.0 or it aborts.

The Nandroid backup theory mught be the one that works...
[Defy Android Development] no clue:
Thanks for the update.

...... I just want something official now :(

( I am on official Chinese 2.21 build 1.11, it is fast, specially when you skip Blur registration. But, just in case I need my phone service by t-mobile .... )
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
The leaked T-Mobile SBF was fast too.

But yeah, an official one would be better.

If the Nandroid method doesn't work, I hope someone posts an SBF soon...
[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
As for right build fingerprint, yes you are right. It is picky as hell. In the other thread I also mentioned that it is checking for apps. For example, I have Blockbuster disabled....it checked for it, didn't find it, and failed. I spent over 4 hours last night getting this to a point that it would work. Way Way too much hassle. Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to get to do a backup tonight. Was up way too late last night/this morning working on this and put in a 12 hour day. As soon as I get a breather I will. Sorry.
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
No worries!

Is there any way to edit the build.prop file so that I can get the update to work?
[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
Unfortunately I don't have an un-updated Defy in front of me to pull the strings. I'll look at one of the ones at work tomorrow. If you read the error though it should tell you exactly what it is looking for. Mine did. Aslo try deleting the logwrapper. The was one of the holdups on mine.
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
I have the string. I'm just wondering if it would work if I do edit it...

Where do I locate logwrapper?
[Defy Android Development] bimmerd00d:
I just loaded this update.zip on my fiance's Defy...didn't wipe data or cache, it's booting right now....stuck at the T-Mobile "Stick Together" screen, waiting for the initial long boot

Okay. I just dl'ed. Any special place to put on my sd card? Will this wipe anything? Fastest way to apply update? Ik im going to have to restore my og stock bloated rom, any other tips would be great.
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
1. Restore to stock.

2. Place update.zip in root of sdcard

3. Boot into recovery

4. Apply update.zip

Please upload a Nandroid backup when you're done so that those of us who applied the leaked FroYo SBF can upgrade...

Thank you!
[Defy Android Development] watt9493:
How would I go about uploading the nandroid? And do you mean factory reset or just load my first (stock) nandroid?
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
You have to load the stock Nandroid because the update looks for the T-Mobile bloatware and specific system strings before allowing the update.

To upload the Nandroid after you've updated, just zip up everything and upload them to any file sharing host like: Multiupload.com

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] watt9493:
I have a nandroid with all the stock bloat. :) first thing i did when i rooted it. So that back up should work?

Do i have to unzip the update? Or leave it zipped in the go.apk.rev folder in backups
[Defy Android Development] watt9493:
^^^^ That did not work. got a no such file found and installation aborted..... :confused:
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
Was the zip file named update.zip?

There's no reason why it shouldn't work. Unless you're not using a T-Mobile USA Defy...
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
Yes, just restore that nandroid...

No need to unzip. Leave it as update.zip and don't put the it in any folder. Just transfer it to your sdcard...
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
BTW, what firmware is in your nandroid backup? For the update to work, you have to be on the last updated firmware which is: 3.6.360

It looks for that build version and won't continue the update if you haven't upgraded to that version yet...
[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
Another painfully long day at work. Haven't look through yet, but did someone make a backup or do I still need to?
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:

Lost APN connectivity after upgrade

This is great! I just bought the Defy a few days ago and noticed it had only 2.1 on it. As a recent convert from Sprint with an HTC Evo 4G - there was no way I was giving up Froyo and upgrading to this was a must for me.

So after upgrading and installing all of my apps again - everything is great! I do not have this phone rooted however and I upgraded it by placing the file (update.zip) in the base directory of my sd card and holding VOL DOWN + POWER with the phone off - Voila!

Oddly it seems, last night I was messing with personalization of this device and was getting issues with the Market app and 3G. I switched over to Wifi and had other issues with my access point so I again switched to another. After this was resolved, I continued using the Wifi and downloading additional apps.

Today I wake up and turn Wifi off and now I have no 3G or any network for that matter. I do have excellent signal strength. I have checked to ensure that I am not roaming and are using an automatic provider. I also tried manually selecting T-Mobile as the provider. I can make calls and Wifi works and syncs all data, including Exchange fine. After calling T-Mobile and speaking with general customer support and then tier two support - they were unable to resolve this and wanted me to fully reset the phone. Any ideas here anyone on what services and apps to check or clear data from? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am sure others out there have ran into this.

[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
Change battery mode from saver to performance. I realized during my long road trip yesterday that battery mode is playing none too nice with data. On performance it stays connected and works like it is suppose too. But yes I have noticed as well over the past few days that there are some issues now with 3G and wifi. When it works its great...when it doesn't work...nada.

I rebooted, and it again asks to choose a launcher, but the default "Home" is not there to pick. That's the one I want.

Can someone please put a step by step guide for a stock Tmobile US 3_6.36

[Defy Android Development] bobbyphoenix:
1. Place update.zip in root of sdcard

2. Boot into recovery by holding volume down button, and pressing power button

(you will get the '!' in a triangle with a little android guy)

3. Press the lower right corner of the screen to get to menu

(right above the soft key "search" button)

4. Apply update.zip by selecting that option

(it will take a while, so be patient)

5. Reboot phone when update complete

6. Enjoy FroYo

anybody got this in .sbf format my phones bricked and i can only flash .sbf files and i want to try this one
[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
So whats the easiest way to make a clean nandroid backup? boot into recovery, backup my current one, wipe to factory, clear cache, make another backup of the factory, and then restore mine? That should create a completely clean, none of my personal stuff on it image correct? I've only made images for company phones, not a out of the box one yet. If thats the right way I'll do it when I get home.
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
Yes, that's the best way...

I hope you can make the nandroid and post it here later. I've been eager to load the official FroYo since you posted the news.

Thanks!

Hi, just received my defy last week and its still on version 2.51.0 SEA15. I assume this update can not be installed on my defy right? Can't wait for 2.2.1 update as scheduled to be released on Q2 this year.
[Defy Android Development] watt9493:
where should i place the update on my sd card? any specific folder? the root of sd card makes no sense to me.

- n00b post over
[Defy Android Development] bobbyphoenix:
Root of the sd card just means directly on the sd card itself. Don't put it in another folder that is already there.
[Defy Android Development] watt9493:
Thanks bobby. Doing tht now
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
Please don't forget to post a nandroid...

Is the right (sound) lock screen slider fixed in this official froyo build?

Running 3.4.2-155 and the right hand slider shifts left when you touch it.

+1 request for nandroid backup.
[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
Sorry Beach Head - I know you've been waiting patiently. I don't think the nandroid is going to work at this point regardless of what build...I have researched everywhere and haven't seen anyone who can get it to work. This rom might actually be hack proof! Well, at this point anyway...

I've done everything as suggested on this thread as well as the other threads to get the nandroid running but to no avail...I'm in the same boat and now am hoping that someone loads an sbf of froyo so I can rsd flash it as I'm stuck with the UK2.34 (which isn't bad, but I like my wife's 2.2 tmous better, her phone is a bit snappier than mine and I've got them both overclocked with the same parameters...and mine is non blur).
[Defy Android Development] Beach_Head:
Have you tried flashing the leaked T-Mo US FroYo SBF and then restoring your wife's T-Mo US Nandroid?
[Defy Android Development] darule_2011:
No, as mentioned in a pm, I have crappy internet, I tried twice to download the file, got 2+ hours in and was about 75% done when the internet disconnected. I'll give it another go...I'm waiting for an installer as I just purchased internet (ok, I'll admit, right now I'm tapping off neighbor on laptop so it's hit and miss). Now that you all know I'm a crook:o

I'd just wipe the wife's to get you a clean nandroid but with last night's episode she won't let me go near hers...and we just had a baby so she's a little moody and I don't want to push it:D
