Custom Roms or spy roms ? - HTC One X

one of my friends is a genius in programming specially in android program developing .he is working in a big software and mobile phone software developing company .
yesterday he told me I should never use custom roms .
he and his group found some programming lines in some custom roms that change custom rom to a spy rom
these roms send alot of information for a custom rom owner like your passwords ,bank account and lots of other information.
he gave me a printed paper of programming lines .If anyone interested let me know .

We are all interested! What rom?

Yeah, you need to name the ROM and present proof if you're going to post something like this.

I cant tell you witch rom is spy rom because I am not allowed to do that but If you understand programming I can send you a copy of programming lines that developers put them in roms for spy purpose

i think this is the work of the illuminati

That is a very heavy thing to say about someones work. Yet you can't say which rom?
Pm me a copy of that paper.

So until proof this thread is useless? I could say i have a prototype of the next htc device ( I don't) but if I did it couldn't be proved until shown!

This is akin to saying:
"you shouldn't install software because it could contain a virus. Here is an example of some code that could be used in a virus". Not really much help to anyone.
If you've got evidence that someone here is distributing malicious code, notify the mods and they'll have it removed (and notify the users of that software that they might be at risk). Otherwise I'm not sure what the point of this is.

I agree, custom rom is risky for information leak!

If you have proof of this I would like to see this. PM me the code that you have. I'm very interested.

illuminati is so well connected that they have buddies from outer space. that is possible

It's possible but not here in One X forum very less likely in XDA. Maybe in other sites

So, we wait for our beloved Dev Community to out-flank Samsung, and give this to Samsung..........

I created that petition in the vain hope that someone important would read it, but even the sgs petition with 10k+ votes didn't get anything but mere excuses from Samsung..
I suggest everyone to buy arco68 a beer by donating 5 euros on his PayPal, to show him our support. It's the best we can do right now.

While I haven't the faintest Idea what the opener wants, looking at his signature, Your first two questions should be answered.
Maybe he wants stock rom and stock HBOOT?
I did not see his signature on my mobile but why does somebody format the system and then ask something about backup ! Seeing his signature now he should know more about rooting and running custom roms. And there are more than plenty threads and stickies about going back to stock
He probably wanna do a nandbackup or restore. Unfortunately he format the partition before doing so. Now he thinks its bricked?
Someone probably rooted this thing for him.

Probably .... let's wait for Mr dex to shine a light on his case

(REQ) Paranoid Android?

Mr.Highway said:
I highly doubt it, based on the fact, it's a Samsung based device ROM. .cross compatible roms, like Samsung to HTC, or vice versa require allot of reworking files.
As for the devs here, one might be able to, but I can't say.

I don't think it would look bad. Touchpro had a screenie of one of his old ics roms and he was running tablet mode and it looked sick! I know that this isn't tablet mode this is a rom but still looks sick
So is this Rom being worked on? I can't wait to try it out.
Someone can use my my port guide, in my signature, to try it out. Just find a HTC device that has the ROM. The mytouch 4g has it

Mr. Highway you do not give yourself enough credit. I bet you could port this rom in a quarter of a cigarette not a half Thanks for the reading!
Does it take a lot of skill? I can't even USB mount my phone to my computer not to mention going to the field and work....

[APP][WINDOWS] Android Rom Migrator

I have created a windows app that will port roms somewhat automatically.
Please keep bases the same.
ie- CM10.2 base and CM10.2 port
There is still some user input required so it is advised that you know your way around the android OS.
This program REQUIRES that you have the Java JDK and JRE installed.
Having adb installed is not a requirement, but some options in this program utilize it.
This is my first development project so bare with me.
If you have any requests to be added, Shoot me a PM or comment about it.

It's cool that you made this but I have to admit, I am a bit confused...
Your title calls it a Rom Migrator, which I took to mean that it can help someone jump between roms by making it easy to restore apps, settings, etc.
But your op says it will port roms, which says to me that you can take a Sprint or AT&T Rom, and using this, port it to our T999 fairly easily.
Either way, I can see it as being useful to different groups of people, but perhaps it's not getting much response due to similar confusion.
You may also consider a quick step by step guide in one of your reserved posts. Nothing fancy, but a quick how-to can go a good ways toward making folks more comfortable with trying something new.
Hope that helps, and thanks for sharing your work!

If this app ports as it says it does then I guess there would be no problem porting from other S3 variants.... I assume this tool, will auto swap out drivers and set partition parameters that are compatible with T-Mobile S3.... If it can't do that then the next best thing would be that it uses a compatible base and add the rest of features similar to how Aroma works..... If none of the above, this probably doesn't do what it says and might brick your phone.....
I've used this a couple times it works, somewhat i.hade manually switch out a fre things in the actual final port ROM but other wise it's good

I've reported his thread to admins, they are investigating it still. I got confirmations from other members that they detect trojans. WTF is going on, are we going to ignore this? Even ROM builder confirmed it and said it's "normal'. Am I going crazy here?!

this is the worst news i ever heard, i just installed this rom yesterday and i really loved it .. it is very smooth and the best rom i ever used from 10 roms until now, i can't believe that in day that i found something good like this rom, the rom having virus!! what a chance! can any one report this to the dev ?!?
I've reported thread and got comfirmation of XDA mods that they are investigating, but that was a month ago. I don't understand what is going on.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok, so no response from the mods whatsoever. This can mean two things, either mod ia extremely lazy person who doesn't give a **** or mod is somehow benefiting from this rom. Either way, we urgently need to ecalate this to higher mods. It is not normal to have trojan in ROM. Does anyone know mods from whole XDA, not just xperia onea?
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Just stay away from stock-based ROMs that don't add anything of value and include apps that you could install yourself. I think the creator of that ROM isn't even aware of the Trojan but is just throwing some files in his ROM that are actually bloat. Just use stock, maybe a deodexed version, and with root access you can include any mod you want. Or use a more trustworthy stock-based ROM, like eXistenZ.
I don't want to personally attack this guy, but come on take a look at the OP of that ROM. The PayPal link is huge, so he's already fishing for donations. There are a lot of exaggerations in the first lines already (the word "very" is used 6 times in one line). And whenever someone calls his product "simply the best than ever" you should know that it isn't. Those are just big words.
So yeah you could report the thread.. Or you could use your common sense and avoid it.

I think what the op has done (report it/warn other users) is spot on.
I mean how are people, especially newcomers, to know what to avoid if other members of the community aren't looking out for each other?
Flashing ROMs, apps, mods etc on rooted/Xposed framework vulnerable devices is dodgy enough, but if xda members spot exploits and just ignore/avoid them? Wtf?

I meant no offense to the OP of this thread, I was just avoiding to use name of the author of the LeopardX ROM. He's right to report this and I'm just saying that people should stay away from ROMs like this.

First I thought this was a false alarm but upon reading all the posts, I guess I'll flash a new ROM for the time being.
