15136 | How to prevent data extraction from rooted phone via adb? | I've a question regarding security in a rooted device. Being superuser means that you can access the /data/data directory, and that's a lot of personal data (I think it is almost all the data there can be in the phone). So if a rooted phone is stolen, anyone can connect to the device via adb and perform a complete "audit" of the data, including mail, sms, search and browser history, contacts, etc. It is in fact easier than with a non-rooted phone. I see a big vulnerability here. Is there a way to prevent adb connecting to the phone like, for instance, a password? |

77938 | Installing CyanogenMod using SD card on Samsung GT-P3100 via stock Android System Recovery | I have a Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0 (GT-P3110) which has developed a fault on the motherboard whereby it switches off every time I plug in the USB cable (either as a data connection or to charge). To eliminate a software fault causing the issue I did a "wipe data / factory reset" via Android System Recovery (stock) but now I'm left without Android. When I reboot I enter Android System Recovery. I'd like to install a CyanogenMod image. When I try to install it from the stock Android System Recovery via the SD card (as I can't connect a USB cable to use the other methods) I get the following error: E:failed to verify whole-file signature E:signature verification failed So how can I install CyanogenMod with only via the SD card? From what I read I need to install ClockwordMod as system recovery, but how can I do that using an SD card? |

64128 | Newbie needs help: Not sure how to get Google Play apps on CyanogenMod | I finally decided to install CyanogenMod on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon). The installation process went _pretty_ smoothly (I only had to pull the battery twice ;)), but I am having no joy reinstalling all of my Google Play apps. I'm beginning to think I've made terrible a mistake. Does CyanogenMod **not** integrate with Google the same way that stock Android does? Can I not just enter my Google username and password and redownload all of my apps and settings? I mean, I knew that the Play Store isn't bundled with CyanogenMod due to licensing issues. But I thought that installing the Play Store was as simple as downloading the APK. So far I've downloaded two versions of the the APK and both crash on launch. I've tried all of the usual things like clearing the app cache and rebooting the phone. I also downloaded a 150 MB "Gapps" package from cyanogenmod.org that I have no idea what to do with. The download page has absolutely no instructions, nor does the package contain a readme. I've read that I need to "flash the apps through recovery", which I can sort of parse, but all of the documentation and explanations I've found this afternoon assume the reader knows more than I do. Any guidance would be very much appreciated. By all accounts, CyanogenMod is awesome. Technical details: * Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) * CyanogenMod 11.0-InstallerXNPQ02R (Android 4.4.2) |
26310 | I've deleted Google Play Store. How can I reinstall it? | I've been having an issue with my apps where an error "Package file is invalid" keeps appearing. I read a tutorial somewhere which told me to "uninstall updates" for the Google Play Store application. I was told doing this would uninstall the application, and then the device would automatically reinstall Google Play Store. I did this, restarted my phone, but the application never reappeared. I think tried downloading an `.apk` file to install this manually, but on install the application wouldn't load. Has anyone done this before? How can I reinstall this application? I believe I need it for all future downloads and updates to my applications. For the record, my phone is **not** rooted. |

39180 | Permanently indicate to Market an application should refuse upgrades? | Some applications update frequently, (like Dolphin Browser), but to my needs the current version is clearly enough, barring a major advance of the application. Some applications (like Slacker Radio) remove earlier functionality via updates, in the interest of cleanliness or to strengthen marketing additional features to a subscriber audience. Slacker Radio specifically moved the look-ahead next artist functionality into their pay version. So, for me, these are 2 cases for specific updates I would prefer never to perform because I am either happy, or just content. Currently I reject selecting Update-All, since they remain in the list, and update my apps one- by-one. Is there a way to tell Market/Google Play to shield them from the update list on a semi to permanent fashion to prevent them, especially to prevent inclusion in an accidental mass-update? |
77176 | Is it possible to hide an application from Google Play? | **Some perspective:** Hi, my mobile phone is from 2011 and my manufacturer stopped providing updates past a certain version so I decided to put a Cyanogenmod based ROM on it (CM 10.2, 4.3 based). There's a problem though, I don't understand it completely but it has to do with the ION memory allocator versus the PMEM one. My phone is not using the former for its graphics drivers (or something along those lines) and applications like the current Google Maps instead of displaying properly make the screen flicker. Since it's no use that way, I'm using the last of the older version (6.4.14) which is the last I know not to cause that. My phone is always telling me there're updates for Google Maps and because of that I can't have application autoupdate on. **The actual question:** Is it possible to hide an application from Google Play so that its updates are not suggested as updates? As if it were actually not installed for example. |

33899 | How to adjust S Pen pressure sensitivity on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1? | A little background on me: I'm a professional cartoonist and have been working digital for about 20 years. I've had numerous Wacom devices & currently enjoy a Cintiq 21UX (older model). I also have the ASUS EP121 Slate. I think I understand Wacoms pretty well and generally don't panic about computer stuff. The Samsung Note 10.1 S Pen is using Wacom's _penabled_ tech. Same kind of hardware in the ASUS EP 121. With every Wacom device I've used to date, either Mac or Windows, there is a control panel dialogue box that allows you to tweak the pressure settings of the pen so that the artist/user has the best control for them. The S Pen does not have this and I want it! :) I have called Wacom. They said they provided the hardware but do not provide support for it. I called Samsung who said it was an Android operating system issue. Before I begin another round of waiting on hold hoping for Android support I thought I'd try here. Any assistance or at least firm Android tech suppport numbers I could call would be much appreciated. I realize the Note 10.1 is brand new tech and a proper driver solution may be a few updates away but I am willing to be a squeaky wheel and/or early adopter to help this happen :) |

4762 | A3000 chinese mobile - Dual-SIM or Dual-GSM support since Android 2.2 (again?) | My question topic is Android support for dual SIM hardware. More specifically I'd like to find out if it's the Android 2.2 release that added support for real dual SIM and dual GSM support, and to which extend both cards are online or usable as data channel. A question about Dual SIM Android phone? already came up here, but it didn't investigate the issue completely. And the mentioned mobile (Tiger G3) was also most likely incorrectly reported as Android phone. From all pictures I've seen it's a regular chinese MTK/NucleuOS phone. I want to base my question on the STAR A3000 as hardware example. It's verified that it is really running Android, and dual SIM capabilities seem very plausible: http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=A3000 I'm linking to a search listing and not a shop or review directly to avoid the impression of spamvertizing. It's also a more long-lived link that way. But foremost I want to highlight that there are two hardware versions. The original A3000 runs Android 2.1 and offers no dual SIM capabilities. All newer listings advertise both Android 2.2 and dual SIM support. The trouble with chinese mobiles and resellers is that not all details are super reliable. You'll have to cross check multiple sources, and better assume the lowest common denominator. In the above shop search some Android 2.2 dual sim A3000s are for example still depicted with the original hardware version. I've seen a few images (and there's a youtube video) with the dual sim slots, so I presume this verified. There's also a rumor (on dealextreme) that both hardware versions are identical and there's just a black cover above the second sim slot for the first version (looks plausible from pictures). So that's why I assume that Android 2.1 didn't support such features, and the Android 2.2 kernel maybe introduced it. The hardware in this phone most likely supports not only dual SIM, but dual GSM. This means that both SIM cards are connected the whole time, to two different networks. All previous MTK chips and mobiles support that. However I've seen one picture of the A3000 Android 2.2.1 version which shows a configuration screen with an option along the lines "[x] Select SIM card at bootup". This would suggest that it's not a real dual-GSM setup, but just dual-SIM - which only allows switching. Yet _all_ the listings from my first link suggest that the phone and Android is "dual sim dual standby". So I'm confused. Back to the question: Did Android 2.2 introduce proper support for dual-GSM? I know none of the big brand vendors supports anything like that, so it must be a fringe feature, maybe not even in the OHA documentation. Any chance something like this was mentioned in some sort of release notes? (Really I have no clue, no Android phone yet, still gauging.) My main interest is keeping my main phone number, and using a secondary SIM and contract for data connnections preferrably. Or the other way round. * * * Another note. I know there was also the General Mobile DSTL1 once, which was the first (and for a long time only) Android 1.5/1.6 phone to advertise dual- SIM. I don't know to which extend it supported real dual-GSM functionality. But it's interesting that old Android versions allowed it. So I'll extend my question into why no Android 2.0 and 2.1 phones with dual-sim existed. Did the feature possibly come and go twice in Androids lifetime? |

77060 | Note 3 Won't Power On | Ok so less than 30 minutes ago my Note 3 was working fine! I put it in my pocket and looked at it again and it was off and wouldn't turn on. It had plenty of battery left at the time though I don't know exactly how much. First thing I did was take it to the charger. The battery icon wouldn't show up so I pulled the battery and tried booting into recovery. That did not work either. I tried to power it on without the battery in via the AC charger. (Yes some phones will boot without a battery). That also failed. I tried a different AC adapter of the same rating. It failed. I tried a different cable, fail. Etc etc. Any ideas? Also it's worth noting that when it was plugged up to the charger it got reasonably warm. The battery didn't get warm. The area around the Snapdragon 800 got warm. With and without the battery in whilst on the charger it still got very warm. (Like it was trying to do something very load intensive?) |

19740 | What's the perfect internal storage preserving technique? Does link2sd and data2sd interfere? | I have a **rooted** ZTE Blade with a fast 8 Gbyte SD card (it's **fast** enough, and **partitioned** to 6G + 2G) running on **CM7** , and I'm using LINK2SD, but I'm not perfectly happy with it. Altough, LINK2SD is far better than APP2SD I've used before, and all the apps are now linked to SD card, but somehow, I'm just getting _low on internal space_. I've read somewhere that private data is what remains on the internal storage. How can I kick everything out of that internal storage? * Can I use DATA2SD and LINK2SD together? * What about Simple2Ext? Also, I've read that Titanium Backup can install stock app updates to the System partition. (That one thing I haven't done yet, my System partition on internal storage is "too big", I should repartition it.) Is there a solution for this? |
19741 | Does anybody know a pdf reader WITHOUT save as and share features | I am looking for a PDF reader that DOES NOT have a save as or share feature. It would need to be compatible with Froyo 2.2 My reason for asking is I have created an application that reads self- encrypted pdf files and saves them to the sdcard, from here I wish for the suggested application to open the file, but be unable to save/share it. It would render the encryption/decryption process pointless if the user can simply save the file and/or share it. |

No USB options in Settings menu | I have a Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and I wish to transfer some audio files from it to my PC, running Windows 8. When I connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable, the phone beeps and begins charging but displays no USB connection notification. Likewise, the computer doesn't register the connection at all. I have googled the problem but only seem to find partial solutions, which don't fit my situation.

70306 | Keeping Galaxy Note 2 Connected As Installer | I have been playing around and making my own app and I have run into some difficulty. I have the Galaxy Note 2 right now running Android 4.3 (Main phone connected to Verizon) I also have a Galaxy Nexus that is running Android 4.2.2 (Old phone I have as backup) When I plug the Note 2 into the computer is stays connected as an installer for about 30 seconds before it changes into Media Transfer mode and my SDK manager won't recognize it anymore. Whereas my Nexus stays in installer mode and as long as it's plugged into my computer my SDK manager can recognize that it's there. Both phones have Developer Mode turned on and USB Debugging turned on. Is there some setting I can change to make my Note 2 perpetually stay in Installer Mode when plugged into my computer? It is a real pain to plug and unplug when I want to test my app. (Note: Neither phone is rooted and I have no plans to root them anytime soon.) |

6851 | How can I uninstall applications that are locked by phone vendor? | I'm using a Samsung I9000 and I have some annoying apps that came pre installed by the phone vendor, like a music store, a custom web browser and other memory leaking apps.

54027 | Remove bloatware from a Samsung Galaxy S4 | I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I'd like to get rid of a lot of applications I found installed but I'm not going to use. What options do I have? Surfing the web it seems that I cannot do it without rooting and the only option I have is to disable the applications I don't want. Is that the only option? Alternatively I saw that a lot of web site links to TrulyClean but it seems to be discontinued. Is there any alternative script I should look for? I see that there is the possibility to install other ROMs (Maybe the one that Google uses for the version of the device it sells on the play store). Would that help me getting rid of all the bloatware? These were the options I found searching the web, would you recommend me to go down for any of these three paths or is there any better option? I'd like to know which are the pros and cons of each of them so that I can come up with the best decision for my needs. |
