samsung dive apk? . You need to go to accounts & sync in the settings menu, create a samsung account then log into that account via your pc
www.samsungdive.com

I suppose you refer to this: http://download-apk.blogspot.com/2011/10/apk-default-samsung-galaxy-s2.html
Look for all the apk's related to Samsung Dive.
By the way, I read (I think around this forum) it is not possible to install apk's from stock room in AOSP custom roms, so if you have CyanogenMod or MIUI its probably not possible to go back to Samsung Dive. There are other options anyway .
Hope it helps.

I found a simillar app called Lmaxi anti theft.. you might want to check it out..
It has many interesting features such as it runs almost invisible on the phone (the app is only accessible from the dialler), remote lock via sms, HARD RESET PROTECTION (root), etc..
Check below..

Strange ... if one take a look at this applications list of Permissions ... SMS and Location (GPS) are missing. How can this application send SMS and link to map with location without those permissions ???

ok i noticed that.. it probably need a paid version for those features to work.. because the app itself is just an installer not the actual apk, not sure what are the actual permissions it requires..

Prevent Android from logging my search history

Is there a way to do so?
Specifically, I mean my last google searches, browser history and market searches.
I just found options to clear existing histories, but no entry to prevent logging new ones.

if you're trying to hide your tracks in specific instances, you could use an incognito window in the browser to search including the android market. Then everything goes away when you close that window. But if you mean always, then I don't know.

Yeah, I mean the same settings I have in my Notebook's Firefox: Simply don't even start a history. Or when I tap the Google Search window on top of the screen - don't give me my last searches.

Try this.... Open Google Search... Menu -> Settings -> Google Search -> Uncheck Use Web Histroy

Yup, tried that already. I'm at the moment not even logged into my gmail account. It still gives me my last searches below the google text field on the home screen.
Just to be clear: I don't mind that "instant search" which autocompletes, but the storage of my last searches bugs me. It's the same in the market.

I wonder if this is related to a recent article ibsae on yahoo news about Google saving your history .
I deleted it all and paused it through Gmail on my desktop. However I believe this is something different but regardless ibwoukd check that yahoo news article. When I have a chance I'll get link for it

I realize you just don't want it popping up but this is why maybe??

I don't think it should affect the OS itself. Remember, I'm talking about the search bar on the home screen, not the browser.
It is possible to delete the search results one by one by tapping the X on their side, but there is apparently no option to prevent the search bar from creating the entries in the first place.

I had the same issue so I downloaded 'Beaver' by Crowbar Solutions (free and paid on the Market) which is now my browser and basically saves absolutely no trace of your browsing history. The browser is pretty much the same as the stock browser and I have the paid version of the app so was able to set my own homepage to google, etc.
...and I just realised you were referring to the search bar on the homescreen my confusion sorry. I don't use that search bar so can't offer a solution.

Please Help, is this a keylogger?

I just rooted my phone (Galaxy Note 2) 10-14 days ago and I also have downloaded the mod games outside the google app store. I even scanned my phone with AVG Antivirus Pro and Lockout, and found nothing - no spyware... ect.
I just noticed today there are text files which were created on 03-19-13 which is yesterday in storage/sdcard0.
The two files are
Domtree.text
Rendertree.text
I viewed the texts and they have my bank userID and Credit Card UserID on them, but I did not see my password anywhere in the text files.
Could you please tell me if my phone has a keylogger or some kind of spywares?
I am so afraid of the keylogger, PLEASE HELPThank you for kind information and help.

I am not sure but i think domtree.txt is a known file on android and is used by browsers.
The usernames you see must be stored in browser history. Can you clear your browser history and verify if you still see your username in those files ?

I found that these are the dump files from Android webkit.
dumpDomTree
public void dumpDomTree(boolean toFile)
Dump the dom tree to adb shell if "toFile" is False, otherwise dump it to "/sdcard/domTree.txt"
dumpRenderTree
public void dumpRenderTree(boolean toFile)
Dump the render tree to adb shell if "toFile" is False, otherwise dump it to "/sdcard/renderTree.txt"
Reference: http://www.androidjavadoc.com/2.3/android/webkit/WebView.html
If you think your system is infected and sending out data you can install "Quick System Info PRO" and check the Netstats for active connections, they are listed by the programs. Keep in mind you will have to do lots of digging initially.

I dont understand how this happened. I had this phone for more than 3 months and I did not see these files until I rooted my phone 10-14 days ago, got a few modded games, and firefox. Why cant AVG Antivirus Pro, Lockout, or a few other spyware apps detect the spyware/keylogger? Anyone else who can help me?
Thank you

I don't know how it happened on your phone. But as far as I know, if it is a keylogger, you may open or downlaod some files without knowing. Because such kind of keyloggers can work invisibly on your Phone. I knew an android keylogger iKeyMonitor works invisibly after someone installed it on your phone physically. It can be even controlled remotely, very terrible!

My tablet will no longer download PDFs through chrome.

Hey guys. Super annoying issue here. When I click on a PDF link, my tablet refuses to download it. Usually, you click on the PDF and it will download and ask which app to open it with. Now, however, it tries to open it in the browser, but fails to do so. It also tries to download it, but fails doing that as well. This functionality still works with Firefox. I have uninstalled adobe reader, adobe flash, and uninstalled chrome updates but still no dice. Anyone know what's going on? I'm non rooted stock. Please help!

Same problem here. Long click and click save link as. O

Any idea what's causing the issue? At first I thought an update to chrome, but I've uninstalled all updates and it persists. Can't think of any other app that would cause this...

better opera... or dolphin...

I'm also using Chrome and I can't figure it out. Right now I've just been clicking 'save link as' but cannot open the files from the notification area. I have to manually go to my pdf reader and choose the file from there.

Chrome isn't selected for any defaults. I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled it. I'm now thinking it's not chrome. When I click on a link for PDF, the web page will redirect to a black screen will pop up quick with an adobe PDF symbol and a status meter bar. The page will then redirect back to the original page and I'll get a notification in the notification pull down that says "error downloading file." Seriously don't want to factory wipe, but this is driving me mad. If I long press the link and save it, it saves it as HTML, not PDF. Wtf!!!

Looks like there is an app assigned as the default app to open your PDFs and is acting up. You got to figure out what app was that.
When I open a PDF from a browser on my 10.1, it asks me whether to open it using Acrobat, Polaris, HP Eprint or any other apps capable of reading PDFs.
You can try identifying what apps you got who can open a PDF and clear their defaults.

So I went through literally every single app on the device looking for defaults. Not one app is set as default. I finally deleted data, cleared cache, uninstalled updates and disabled the app. This finally did it. By disabling the app, it somehow reset it where uninstalling updates did not. This has worked for now, hopefully it sticks...

Gmail app getting irritating

So Gmail started this thing (not sure when), where it uses a built in browser to handle all links and URL. I assume this is based off chrome, and that's fine if it worked.... BUT IT DONT!
Half the time I get this (see pics) when trying to open a link, and when it does manage to load a page, objects/links all over the page refuse to work. This sucks as I use my Gmail for ALOT of things.
I've tried long holding the links and selecting "open in browser" but I get this stupid built in thing again. Sometimes I can copy the link and open and paste in chrome, but sometime it will just copy the image instead of the link so I end up downloading a picture of the link I want to visit.
I've tried disabling the browser option in Google settings for Google search, but it seems to not affect gmail.
For example today I got an email saying a bill was due, it had a "click here to pay" link. I click on the link, but only get this continuous loading screen. I tried to "open in browser" same thing. So I tried coping URL and pasting in chrome, but only managed to download "xxxx/xx/x/payment.jpg" I wasn't able to actually visit the link hours later when I was near a PC.
So In short my question is.....
How can I disable Gmail's useless built in browser.
Sorry for repeating a bunch of things.

This is strange. I don't have the option to uncheck, but none of my links open with a built in browser. They all open with full fledged Chrome.

I wonder if this has to do with the default handling of links? As in, under Android Settings, Apps, App Settings, "Browser App".

So I have found out it's a chrome thing, not Gmail. Noticed this when I went to open a link in an app and I got the same window.
I cleared all data from chrome, went to Gmail and tried to open a link, and it presented me with full screen chrome, but after logging back in to chrome and reopening the link in gmail again it gave me that bull crap floating windows thing. It reminds me of paranoid androids halo feature.
Anyways, I can't find anything in chrome regarding this.

Do you use Chrome as your browser, or are you using something else for browsing the web?

OK I think I found what might be causing this issue. Make sure your settings under Developer Settings are the same as mine here:

Chrome is the only browser type application I have installed, and my settings are the exact same as pictured. Sadly I'm still having the problem. I guess I'm going to swap out chrome for another application. Possibly yubrowser or some "Qualcomm optimized browser" to see if it persist.

Is "Android System WebView" frozen in titanium backup for you?

Something interesting. I was browsing this thread and noticed this...
If I scroll down and select the link to download the latest version, I get the windowed thing (see attached pic), but if I select the changelog link or the link to the stable releases, it opens normally.

No it is not. I only use titanium to freeze and defrost my smart watch apps (pebble, martian notifier) so I don't have persistent notifications. Thanks for the help but this is getting irritating.
***************************************
Correction, it is!
However it's weird because I personally didn't freeze it, and it's not allowing me to defrost it. I can see the option "enable web view" in the play store, but when I select it nothing happens and it remains frozen/disabled.

Check my edit above. Titanium is reporting as frozen, and when I attempt to defrost it, it throws a toast notification saying "app was defrosted" but it remains frozen

OK. You want that to remain frozen. I'm pretty sure you need to change the Developer Options I posted earlier in order to actually defrost it, but it wouldn't help you in this situation anyway. I can find a few other threads of people having a similar issue, but with no fix listed.

Doesn't look like it. Well I'm going to keep this updated with any info i find. I may try rolling back chrome a few versions.

It seems I'm also no longer able to open play store links through the play store either, This stupid browser implementation takes it over without asking a thing. No defualts are set, this is taking away some real functionality from my device.

Just received an update in the play store for chrome, taking it and I'll report back.
