Face unlock security flaw???!!!!

OK everyone before I get ahead of myself.....everyone do this
1. Set up your face unlock under security
2. Take a picture of your face using another phone.
3. Now use that phone that you took a picture of yourself and display it in front
of the galaxy nexus.
Did it unlock it. It did to me.
So how secure is this. I know Google discloses that any person looking like you may be able to unlock it, but does it mention that if you pull a portrait of yourself, that it will have the ability to unlock it.
Just saying
hope to hear others feedback.

I don't think Google ever intended face unlock to be super secure and they warn against that when you select it.

Google has said its not as secure as other methods.
From the manual:
Face Unlock lets you unlock your phone by looking at it. This is the least secure lock option
From the phone:

I'm not seeing an issue so no need to make a fuss about it. Google has more than informed folks about it not being as secure as any other method. The only flaw here is folks not reading before using.

It's not meant to be secure, it's supposed to be for convenience.

This is old news and was all over the web when ICS Face unlock was revealed ... also it is just a cool feature and currently not meant to be a secure feature.

I'm also sure when we're out in public we wouldn't want to do "face unlock" to unlock our phones sometimes.. were just sick of seeing our own faces or maybe its just me

Like everyone said, Google has said on numerous occasions its not as secure as the PIN, Pattern and/or Password unlock. Its more of an alternative from sliding to unlock rather than a security feature.

thats what I love about people freaking out about, "its not secure oh nooo!!" Google does not pretend for it to be.

Not only is this old news but most people failed to understand the real purpose.
Aside from it being an alternative to the simple screen unlock. If you get robbed in the subway or on the street, how big is the chance that a person will have a photo of you to unlock it?

not freaking out
I admit that Google does have the disclosure of this this why I mentioned it.
As I was posting I did search and see if anything was brought up.
It is a cool feature but I was not aware or was it there in orbit
Well then for the input
MODS please close, delete or ban me just kidding

This is nothing new. And its not a security feature. Its a neat way to unlock the screen.

It doesn't work for me. I am not saying it won't work, but it seems that the success rate is much lower than a real face -- I can clearly see the refreshing pattern of the other phone screen in the Face Unlock camera.
What worries me is unlocking the phone by someone resembling you. My elder son can unlock my young son's Galaxy Nexus with his face, so he decided not to use Face Unlock on his Galaxy Nexus 'cause he doesn't want his younger brother to unlock his phone. Sometimes, my younger son can unlock my wife's Galaxy Nexus. It works much less reliably than the true owner of the phone, though.

[APP] Cell Broadcasts - Emergency Alert System

My biggest hold back on installing CM10 or AOKP was the lack of Cell Broadcasts built in. But low an behold I was able to restore it from a Titanium Backup. I figured I'd go ahead and share it here for all. And maybe for myself if I ever lose it!
This for sure installed on AOKP. At least it installed, I'll have to wait until Wednesday when they do the test to confirm it works.
To install (this is old, the link at bottom has a flashable zip.):
1. Copy the "CellBroadcastReceiver.apk" into "/system/app"
2. Change the permissions to "rw- r-- r--"
3. Restart
It wont be a normal app, but it should appear under Settings --> More... --> Cell broadcasts

It let's you receive alerts about threats and things like that.

As someone who has received numerous EAS alerts about shootings/tornadoes in the local metro area, I have to say it is very much not pointless.

It may not be for everyone. But for me, in Arkansas, I find it useful for Tornado warnings. The AMBER alerts are good too. Apps use data and GPS, thus killing your battery. This is a more stable system than some app. Most of the time my phone's WiFi is connected to some shoddy open Linksys router and in and out of proper data service anyway.
Cell Broadcast is like receiving a free text. Good for those on limited data plans, or those that need to be safe!

I think this was standard on the STOCK build, I can not remember since I rooted and flashed CM10 nearly the same day I got the phone. The point of this as the OP states is that once you flash CM10 you lose this functionality. He provided a way to recover that functionality.

Why does this get stripped out when they build the ROMs? I can't imagine anyone actually thinking it'd be a good idea to remove this, is it an oversight?

Cell broadcasts are true broadcasts, so there are no network overload issues when sending them out.
And they work as soon as there is coverage. If you are roaming somewhere without data, the broadcasts will still work.

Doesn't Google Now have something like this built in?
"Public Alerts" card? ... I do remember when a hurricane was coming to NYC, I never received any alerts. Although I was told by some people, it was in text messages.

Thanks to the OP for the app, obviously some people wanted it.
I find this funny though because my parents and I spent xmas weekend trying to figure out how to turn this crap off on their iphones, never did find a way, fortunately my n4 (stock at the time) did not have this annoyance.

This should be a flashable zip, with an addon.d script to keep it alive between ROM updates. I suppose I'll make a zip for myself.

Since Roam Control seems to be defunct should we offer a bounty

It seems roam control is defunct (based on lack of basic response and updates), but I see no reason reason another developer could not step in and offer a viable replacement. Should we put together a bounty and hope to entice a developer to design a replacement app? I am sure their are enough sprint users that would kick in.

I agree. Anyone interested?

I am.

I wish there would be some headway on this. There's been some change in the past two days that leaves me with 0 signal in my office and, of course, it won't stay on roaming and keeps bouncing back and forth. I don't know if they're having issues at this one tower, or if they have changed the direction of the antenna, or what.

I was looking for this as well to get my phone to force roam in places I got bad service. I had the app on my EVo, and EVo 3D and got spoiled. My service sucks at work and home even with the Airrave. This is what I did and it works for me.
- download this Hidden Menu apk View attachment HiddenMenu_No_Root.apk and install it
- download this zip View attachment Modded_VZW_PRLs.zip
- Once you download the Modded Verizon Zip. Extract the files. Rename the PRL that says 00002 to Test.prl. (Feel free to try other PRL's. Just posting what works for me). Use Move or Copy (My Files stock app, Astro, or whatever you use) to put Test.Prl on root of Sd Card, (not ext card).
- Once its on the root of the SDCard storage turn off your wifi, and your data.
- click on the Hideen Menu app (apk) you downloaded and installed already
- tap launch settings> ##DATA#Menu>View>PRL Write.
- After you tap PRL Write the phone should reboot.
- After reboot Tap Menu>System Settings>About Phone>Status and you should see this below

PRL should show 2
If it does you are now roaming. If it doesnt. Then try again. It usually works if data and wifi is off. If your looking to go back to Sprint. Just update your PRL the normal way. This wouldnt be considered "on the fly" like the roaming app, (without a reboot) but its fast, close enough and does the job for ME. If this is a repeat of what everyone already knew, ignore this obviously. This is for ppl that may not know or the search button isnt working for you.... I'm using Jelly Bomb btw. I know it doesnt work on AOSP Roms. Dont know about the others.
**I'm sure everyone knows the consequences for roaming too much on Sprint. I actually had my account terminated before for the same. Which in my case worked out. They terminated the contract but not my line, phone number or account so I was able to come back as a new account. May have got lucky. Dunno & dont want to find out. I try to use it just AS NEEDED and go easy on the DATA roaming as well. I monitor my bills just to be sure.. Dont get lazy and leave it roaming all day everyday because your content with having service everywhere like I did. Take it off when in places you have Sprint service.
Hope this helps

So................ I am in the middle of building my MC2 H20 ROM and I will see about putting this in my ROM maybe as a toggle option in the dropdown, and in settings. I will see what time permits. If I finish the rom before this is complete I will focus on this.

The bad thing about reporting these exploits, is that it allows for the people that are liable to steal someone's info/device to know exactly how to do it. It's great to precaution owners, just wish there was another way to alert users.

True. But then it becomes more difficult because how can you determine if those users wont try to steal someone info? Its hard

yes everyone needs to be educated on this exploit because in no way will anyone ever use this to learn how to unlock a stolen phone.

Well obviously he has to state it like that or no one would be able to replicate the issue and believe him. Seems like you have better ideas as to how to do it, mind sharing?

I dont see the big deal, if someone steals your phone and cant access it, they will just do a factory reset and you will lose any chance of tracing and recovering your phone or remote wiping it.

If it was me, I'd send Samsung a message about it. If that was the video poster's intent, he could've went about informing Samsung another way. People that find lost GS3s will definitely find this now. I know somebody who's found an ipod that had a PIN on it and the first thing they did was google how to crack it.
Still, this video also serves a purpose to inform those who can fall victim to this. It's a hit or miss. Samsung definitely is aware of the issue now, though.

Of course any exploit is a problem, but put it in perspective.
First, the criminal has to have physical access to your phone. This in itself makes it much less worrisome than most software hacks that you can download.
Second, according to Engadget:
"Despite literally hundreds of attempts in front of the lens and several more behind it, we've only managed it once -- we found it impossible to nail down the correct timing between the home and power button pushes."
and also from Engadget:
" Samsung has responded, confirming a fix is indeed on its way:
"Samsung considers user privacy and the security of user data its top priority. We are aware of this issue and will release a fix at the earliest possibility."

So, the blogs stir up a frenzy, make some money on click-thrus, and it gets fixed.
Nothing to see here,

Temporary Fix (Makes it much harder to exploit)
Temporary fix:
1) Download another launcher like "Go Launcher". Set it as default.
2) Download and install another lock screen like the "Go Locker" and set it up.
:good:
The problem is Samsung's Touchwiz launcher, getting another launcher is the only thing we can do until we get a fix from Samsung. This exploit takes about 5 minutes every time if you sit and get good at doing it. Dont kid yourself, this is very easy to reproduce.
In theory installing another launcher will make doing this much harder to do but will not completely eliminate the chances of getting exploited. This is because the touchwiz launcher still rears its ugly head when you reboot your phone. But if the attacker cant exploit your phone by the time the new launcher is loaded in the background then they have to restart your phone and try all over again.

I'll test it tomorow.hii

I found it simple to repeat. It took me 5 tries to get it. I am not that concerned about it but my work probably would be...

Nah, "with swipe lock" in addition to password or pin doesnt change anything. My friend can still break in within 5 minutes. Then he laughs at me. the only thing that shut him up was changing the launcher and lock screen to something other than touchwiz. :highfive:

I tried on my Sprint S3 and I couldn't re produce the exploit can somebody be more speciffic on how to do it exactly with the button combo. So I can try again.

Extreme Bloatware Removal 4.1.2 Stock ROM Best Battery

I love the Note... the big screen, powerfull quad-core processor, 4G LTE... Huge 3,100mAh Battery... I like Samsung TW too...
But yes, that is all i use my phone for... CALL/TXT/WEB... VIDEO/GAMES PLAY... DOWNLOAD FILES AND MOVIES...
I dont use S Pen, dont make sketches or notes by hand, dont use Swipe or WiFi calling, I only synch my contacts with Google... nothing else... so i dont need any other features/elements of the stock 4.1.2 TW ROM so i deleted everything that isnt of use for me and that i know it wont crash the OS or give me FCs of the stuff i use...
Makes the ROM small and snappy, and gives me exelent battery life, almost next to none battery drain...
So before you bash me, consider that there are mybe other users just like me that dont need all the extra features running in the background, and want the best possible battery life...
I am posting screenshots of 4 pages Titanium Backup w the elements my ROM runs, 39 in total only, when you first load TB on a stock ROM it will read 250+ elements !!!
Before you freeze/delete anything, please make sure you wont need that service... for example, dont delete GoogleCalendarSynch if you use the calendar to make/synch notes and appointments...
You need some basic knowlege of what is what, and just freeze first and see if all your things you use are working properly...
I just decided to share the minimum elements to run properly the stock ROM and get the best battery with close to none drain when you dont use your phone...
OK, here is how my Titanium Backup looks like after i deleted every single element i do not use:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Hah yes sold the Blaze $170 got a nice Note 2 w 32GB card for $340, call it a good deal time to get me some LTE goodness i thinks haha.

I even factory reset the phone after deleted everything... to clear the caches and stuff...
Works just fine, the only thing i notice, i had to go to the Mobile Networks and change the APN name from the etc one to the fast, as i deleted all the pre config things from the ROM i assume it wasnt set automaticly, so phone didnt conected to the network automaticly...

Not sure if it was for the note 2 or note 1 but it was an aroma flash file that let u delete all the bloatware
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

this is really useful. good to know that all the com. stuff are useless and can be frozen. was there any list you went by to see what each element is for? i remember there was a list available when i was using the s2, but haven't seen one for the note 2.
does anyone know which ones are needed for wifi calling? i need to keep those.
and also my phone keeps thinking it's new and keeps giving me info on how to swipe to unlock phone after every restart, is there anyway to stop that? i removed most of the stuff like the op, but is having this issue. pretty much my only problem aside from wifi calling.

This interests me greatly and i'd like to know if you just freeze the unused apps or completely un install them\
EDIT:
nevermind no one answer that i figured things out sorry

So is it a list that gives whats safe to unistall i would to try this as well
