Got a notification today telling me my device health was good, and I had to check performance and this popped up:
I rooted 2 days ago and stayed stock. Anyone know how they know this?

When your phone is rooted, it knows, and so do the apps. That's why you cannot install isis wallet if your phone is rooted. In the about section in settings, it says if the device is rooted. If it says modified then it is rooted and any app can probably see that. Doesn't mean that tmobile knows it is, but the app does, and it may, or may not report this back to them.

Thanks for the info. I didn't think just any app could tell, only root apps. Well I guess this is no big deal at all.

Re: Update
T-mobile only recently updated the "my Account" app. Giving them selfs access to all kinds of stuff on your phone. This also detects the tethering mod :/
Best thing to do is uninstall the update...
Very crappy thing of them to do, But I guess they have to be like the nsa.
That's because you guys have the option to collect diagnostics enabled.. Mine is disabled and it shows unknown for everything

Actually, you granted them access by accepting the permissions. Thats why i read that stuff. And being a developer, i can usually figure out what actions fall under the required permissions too.

They went commercial, now are a official corporation. They are looking to make that money, eventually. With features like a CM account, privacy guard, secure messaging they were getting ready for it. None of those are attractive though.

it seems more likely the purchase fees will be for the added features. Allcast is the perfect example. It's a CM app on the app store that has a time limit unless you pay money. That's their future. I can easily imagine a CM rom that is basically AOSP, and a collection of appstore apps that you have to pay money for to get the "Full CM experience". Of course, if you buy a CM phone (like the oppo n1), you'd get all those for free.
Or they just collect your data and sell it on their own kinda like Google

Ouch, I wasn't aware that the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 had CarrierIQ, the battery-draining performance-sapping privacy-invader.
I came from the Sprint Galaxy S2, and there was a fairly involved mod to remove it.

I froze it with titanium with no negative effects so far. When I had an evo3D I had a kernel that blocked it completely from communicating with the network and even if installed again it would be unable to connect to anything. Any developers know of a way to get this done with our phones?
For all of those unaware of carrierIQ its a logging program for usage stats run by a company hired to get user stats for carriers. Its methods are extremely intrusive it can read KEYPRESS logs as well as has access to just about every scrap of data on your phone. Do a Google search. Big brother stuff.

it isn't in the juggernaunt rom i believe the developers already removed the process. the evo 3d has a locked boot loader. Samsung does not like i said try removing it with Titanium back up if it fails well nandroid. I'm actually looking in titanium back up myself. You can actually download the roms and open with 7zip or winrar go to system and see if its there.

You can also use SuperSU in place of the superuser app and it will do the same thing. (Hides root/temp unroot)
If you think about it, there is usually a reason that an App would specify unrooted only. Rooted basically equals nowhere as secure as nonrooted. So not too surprising a banking app is paranoid about security.

Yeah this makes about as much sense as Hulu only letting certain shows on its apps and forcing you to go to the web for the full catalog.
Even the cheap $350 laptops have HDMI out now, so you can just plug in your laptop and bam, there you go. I have one that the screen went out so it's just constantly plugged into HDMI so I can browse from my TV.
But yeah, back to the original point, your bank is retarded. Not allowing a rooted phone to use it makes no difference in overall security.
Well thanks guys I figured how it all works and yes my bank is retarded but hell they all are I hate banks

Saving my apps to an sd card works for me. I also tend to modify roms via the android kitchen and while at it, place a few apps I need accessible prior to flashing (root explorer, etc).
Well, I've noticed that they don't restore all the time unless you use the same ROM. But even a stock rim misses the occasional app. Titanium Backup works great for me.

http://www.cydiasubstrate.com/
for Android
Supported on versions 2.3 through 4.2,
including Kindle Fire, CyanogenMod, and Intel.
While Android itself is "open", the devices that run it often aren't. Before installing Substrate, you will first need to get root access on your device.
Depending on which device you have, and which version of Android, this process differs; we therefore can't provide a simple recommendation.
Once you have root, you will need to install our APK, run the application, click Install, and grant Superuser access to Substrate when prompted.
Interesting
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
@jd14771: In the play store description it says:
Users should keep in mind that Substrate includes a safety feature: by holding down the volume-up button on your device you can disable Substrate while it is attempting to load these modifications (such as while it is turning on and starting); this will give you an opportunity to use Google Play to uninstall things that might be broken.

The above links work and you can also find it by going to the Play Store in a web browser and then clicking on the gear icon on the right side and then you will see the Android Device Manager there too.
This seems useless after I change my Google password (which would the first thing to do since thief has my phone as a authenticator).
