Maybe someone here can answer this question
I read they put in cisco vpn in ics
Does this mean they provide better integration altogether or is this just specifically for cisco?
The reason i ask is because i am hoping for an official openvpn build. I know there are openvpn builds for rooted phones but i would prefer an official build without the need for root

Better integration all around:

do evos or android 2.2 in general support text input with bluetooth keyboards like this? if not is there a way to patch/fix it to allow them?
btw i mean latest ota as in fresh 3401 rooted unlocked, not regular stock unrooted locked
The answer to your original question about ota update and bt hid, I found the answer to be no. This is something I look forward too. Cm6 is the only Rom I'm aware of that supports bt hid and I tried it myself and it worked very good.
As far as the rest of your questions I don't know.

Well since wifi tether does not work with this build. I was just curious if the one built into cyanogenmod is free just like the wifi tether app in the market?

OK, first of all....what ROM are you using right now? CM7 or a different one because it sounds like you're talking like we're right there with you dude! The WiFi tethering in CM7 works flawlessly and YES is build in so is FREE! The only thing is that you can't use the one in the market prior to trying to use the build in one because it will break the build in one and that will open up a can of worms!
For future questions or anything, try to explain things a bit in detail and include what rom you're currently on....if you're talking about a kernel include that as well! Don't always assume that we're mind readers or anything.......Oh and NO I'm not catching an attitude, I just like to use exclamation points...lol
I have search quite a bit today and cannot seem to find a resolution to my issue. The built in wireless tethering in any of the current AOSP roms doesn't work well for me. It doesn't allow changing the channel, it doesn't allow access control, it doesn't allow me to see what systems are connected, it doesn't allow me to see how much data has been used and what the through-put currently is, etc, etc, etc.
The android-wifi-tethering app has all of that and under a sense rom works great for me. I have searched and found other people that have had these same issues and the answer is always "Use the built in tether app, its great!" or anyone who actually gives an answer (IE different wifi drivers) has let their links die.
Is there anyone that has gotten the android wifi tethering to work on a GB AOSP rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I never got built in tether to work on AOSP roms. I usually have to use barnacle. Sense roms = no problem. I need tether to work, its a must for me and a deal breaker for these AOSP roms Id like to use
Works fine for me on salvagemod and cm7.1

I believe the issue is with a missing file on SD card. There was a thread where teh roxxor explained it n got it working, but you will have to search for it. Can't link it now

This is correct. Make a folder on your sdcard named android.tether, then place the attached file in the folder, and then uninstall/reinstall wireless tether. It's no longer available in the market, so I attached an apk of that as well. I would have linked, but I can't find it at the moment.
Edit: You have to rename the file, just delete the .zip, because you can't upload a bin file for some reason.

well to start off you may click on the link in my sig to see all aosp roms/kernels and their download links. second if you have an aosp rom and you used a wifi-tether app, than you just broke your wifi tether in the app and in the rom, just delete the app and reflash your rom/kernel. i have used decks gb rom, ICS(Mod7) and i am running the latest cm7 nightly #256 atm and my wifi tether works great. if you are interested in updating your radios there is a link to it through the thread in my sig. if you do check out the link in my sig feel free to ask questions or give comments in the thread. hope i helped ^_^
Like I said on the title, is there a way to use flash player on 4.4?
I know where to get the flash player.apk and how to install,
but chrome and firefox beta doesn't work.
No real need for flash on mobile is the site is properly configured

Your argument is pretty ignorant and really only applies to Google and NOT real users.
Let's say that 1% of all sites on the internet is "not configured properly" and still uses flash. Google may not make a lot of money from 1% of the internet and that's may be the reason they don't want to continue to support flash.
But that 1% of websites may still be essential for users that frequent those sites. I don't need flash often, but 100% of the websites that broadcast "live sport" uses flash; so it is essential for me to have working flash on my phone. I don't care if it is buggy or not.
Google has be very heavy handed in their new service policies this year. Killing exchange active sync for gmail made me completely switch to Outlook.com. And now THIS!!!
Unfortunately, I think Android has peaked. They are no different from iOS now and in some ways, Google apps on iOS may even be better.
So guess what, my next phone/tablet/phablet will probably not be Android based.

I believe you miss-typed and meant to say....."if the site is properly configured"
That is all well and good in theory and such.....but in the real world it is still a long way off as millions of webpages still use flash only for audio and video streaming content.
At this point it seems that if you have 4.4 installed, using Puffin browser with server flash regurgitation is the only possible way to see or hear flash based content. And using Puffin for flash is a horrible experience especially for video with low resolution and choppy output. Some audio only streams I listen to on several sites have been fairly decent from my one day test.
So now after testing the Puffin browser to see what it's like if I allow the 4.4 update......I am glad I did not update as I use many flash based content pages/sites on a daily basis and most all of them do not revert to HTML5.
I am all for advancement into a unified video and audio content accessibility throughout webpages on various platforms....just wish it would happen more completely soon. Interesting times we are dealing with now as far as this technology goes.
Photon browswer also has server based flash and some sites that don't work on Puffin will work on Photon.
I completely agree that Android is useless without ability to stream flash one way or another.
Hey,
I'm 100% new to doing any sort of custom stuff with my Android devices, so please forgive my dumb questions.
I've known for a while now that my Nexus 7 was vulnerable since it stopped receiving security updates in August 2016, but I wasn't terribly concerned at the time since I use it so casually. With this recent WPA2 news, though, I'm kinda anxious.
Is there any way at all to make my device secure? Google doesn't give a **** so I know there's no chance in hell it gets an official patch, so I assume I have to go with a custom ROM, but I have no idea where to start.
If I went with a custom version, will I still be able to use the apps I own? Will I still be able to use stuff like Chrome and Drive as well? Also, if I'm using a custom ROM, is there actually any guarantee that it is actually secure? How do I ensure it receives security updates in an unofficial setting?
tl;dr version: Just hoping for a way to use my Android device mostly in the same way I already do, but with actual security updates going forward, since Google are a-holes.
Be aware that some apps will refuse to run on a rooted device. You also won't be able to use Google Pay.
You can mitigate the security issue somewhat by using a VPN service; all your communications will be encrypted, so a MITM attack should fail unless they can also decrypt your communications stream.
I use PrivateInternetAccess myself; one of their app's features is the ability to bypass VPN for selected apps, so for example I can run Pokemon Go (which won't run on VPN) and avoid running video streams through VPN (I don't really care if they can see me watching Hill Street Blues on Hulu and I'd rather avoid the performance hit). YMMV and I'd recommend doing your own research, and VPN isn't a magic bullet. But it makes the WPA2 problem less urgent without a lot of work and without having to root your device.
Mind you, I'm saying all this while perusing the forums to discover what custom ROMs are available for my Nexus 7, as I'm considering rooting it.

To address a different part of your question, aside from the "some things won't run rooted" issue I already mentioned, the rest of your apps should run fine. You'll want to install some version of Open GApps to get Google functionality. That's probably covered in the instructions for the custom ROM.
Two favorites are LineageOS, which has a lot of neat features added, and AOSP, which is the bare Google Android experience with neither bells nor whistles.
Keep in mind that if you don't like what you get, you can always change. So if LineageOS isn't for you, you can try AOSP, or something else if you find it. I'm assuming that somebody has the base ROM available; it should even be possible to put the stock ROM back and unroot the device. Know that I'm speaking from inexperience, sorta... I haven't done this with a Nexus yet, but I've done it lots of times with a Galaxy S4. So I'm not really an authority but I figured I could get you started in the right direction, at least. Just remember to back up everything on your device before you start.
Really, really be sure you back up before you start.
I'm having this conundrum as well. I currently use MM on my Nexus 7 2013 due to better idle time and more reliable WiFi. It seems like there is no way to fix this vulnerability without moving to Nougat.
Lineage OS is a good rom to start with. It receives security updates OTA, and it doesn't come with root binaries, so most apps should work.
