Security

why dont they make a apk or zip with the security feature when someone trys to unlock the ur phone with wrong passcode it takes a picture, if the technology is available why not use it. Some people want to be sure that no one touches there phone, just the way i feel thanks, and im going to keep posting my thoughts maybe someone will notice.

Cerberus App, Lookout, and other security apps have the feature you are looking for.

That is exactly what Cerberus does. At least for me, but I got the donated version.

Uh? Dude you understand that we have an *UNLOCKED* bootloader? If you lost your phone it is pretty much toast. Now you wish we had a locked bootloader with KNOX..

[Q] Edge screen panels

I know its early days and not many people have a Note Edge yet. I really hope someone can help me out on this when they do?
My Note Edge (Korean model), does not have the Twitter, Yahoo sports ticker or the yahoo news panels. This is very frustrating because I was really looking forward to these. I wonder once its available in the US, if someone would be able to extract these panels from their roms somehow?
Im stuck with some panels showing Koren information from a source called Daum.
By the way, there's a new panel available for download - its for the S Planner, I love it! It shows upcoming appointments. Only downside is that it will only show appointment the day.

Same boat. In Korea... Daum ticker.
Hopefully something changes

Yeah, waiting for something to change soon. :fingers-crossed:

Well i have my phone but the problem now is root.
I wont be able to pull the ticker from my phone without rooting it first. I would try to note 4 method but i dont wanna be the first to try it lol.

Thanks for even considering, mate. I wouldn't expect you to start messing with a phone you just purchased for huge amount of money.
I might try to root mine if there are some step by instructions. I am just not very familiar with rooting since I haven't done one for ages.

Ok root explore has access to the system, but its in read only mode. So i can copy that, just not sure what the edge panel apk is called. Ill check it out later on tonight and see if i can find something
Then maybe for the time being it can resign it and able you to install it as a apk vs system apk.
Not sure its been a while since i done that.

For what it's worth when I had the Docomo version of the edge I rooted via some Japanese dev sites that got it done very quickly. And to add custom recovery I was able to use my own tmobile TWRP file and it added custom recovery no problem. So I'm sure it's a very similar process because they basically same sans the edge screen

I tried that explorer after your message I could see the Cocktail Ssysrem apk but it doesn't list any individual widgets. (Image attached).
Phone is full of sk telecom apps.

Why did bloody Samsung or sk telecom put these useless Daum ticker panels on the phone I got??? Why couldn't they just leave the Yahoo panels on it???
How do I get hold of these panels???

you're really not missing anything with the twitter app it only shows trending terms with it had your timeline

What app controls the panel manager?

I think it's something called Cocktail bar apk. I posted a screenshot on page 1. I'm not 100% if the edge panel apps are there though?
Thanks.

I'll be rooting mine and perusing for you guys later

Can someone please create another quick access panel? I have the AT&T version, and it would be great to have another quick access panel.

Yea the frist one is for short cuts.

I'm sure soon enough someone will make another panel that will be for custom short cuts.

i have a korean 915k anyone knows how to delete those korean panel ?

The G3 had a secret menu that allowed you to change some build.prop properties or with an editor. You could simply allow dual screen on all apps which isn't allowed stock.
I edited a lot of the G3 environment through build.prop. Is there something similar for Samsung devices? Not sure if it's on all devices or not.

Not sure about deleting unless you have root access.
I am not rooted yet. I have disabled these panels in my 915S.
The apk you need to disable is 'portalservicewidget' this under the application manager > All.
If you want to disable the useless quick access panel than disable the Live UX apk.

hi,,
what about modaco-superboot.zip? doest it unlock the bootloader of Lenovo p2?
Thank you,,

^Better unlock via the option within the phone's settings. Nobody can tell you if the superboot.zip will work or not. Mine is only 5 days from the life of freedom.

I stumbled on this http://www.unlock-bootloaders.tech/2016/12/lenovo-p2-8319.html but it might well be a fake since they say "I rewrite this tutorial from forum.xda-developers.com" and I can't find anything here and the file to download is behind a "complete offer" wall...Now it seems that modaco-superboot.zip file might be "generic" so the one on XDA https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=...ui6ckfV3A&sig2=0oDFAOzdaw9JZwAMyRmKJA&cad=rja might work ?
Sorry don't have the P2 yet to try !

After giving it some thought it must be a fake !
It's really annoying that Lenovo have this 14 day rule, can't really see the purpose ? They don't have it on the K6 for instance.

My waiting time ended yesterday. However I don't see much reason to root or do custom ROM's really. The camera is bad as it is and stock is pretty Vanilla. Theming would be the main reason for me. But won't go through a reset for that at the moment.

How did the process work ? You clicked on OEM unlocking in the developer settings and just had to wait 14 days or did they send you an activation code by email ?
As for rooting, just for AdAway I'd say it's worth it !

The waiting period is over I have not done anyting after that so I don't know the process. We'll see maybe I'll unlock it soon. The camera app itself is so bad I won't miss it. It's a pain taking great photos with the stock camera app it's so sensitive to changes in light.

So it's just an arbitrary waiting period, odd!
The camera app on the K6 is not bad, in fact the panorama feature is really good. I'll check the exposure lock options, or lack of.

You can control the net traffic with local VPNs like Netguard. Don't see a reason for unlocking only because of Ad removal.
By the way the 14 days waiting period exists because of security reason. "Bad guys" can not buy the phone, unlock it, install "bad software" and sell it to honest customers within an hour. They have to wait 14 days and need a lot of SIM-cards. My old Huwai Mate 2 had the same 14 day lock.

Thanks DNS66 looks a lot like AdAway but in chrome I get a frame for the blocked ad, with AdAway the area is just "removed", maybe there's a setting I'm not seeing ?

mi camera

I used my friend phone(Mi A2),opened camera and found that he has many options in manual mode and 2 for my Lite, so why XIAOMI did that and is our phone doesn't support these options?!

A2 camera hardware is waaaay better. So is the app that comes with it. If you want the same app your friend has, you have to install Magisk and download a module called Xiaomi Mi A2 camera. I guess you'll have to download the camera2API enabler, too.
I have it. However, it doesn't show the "lens" option. But everything else, is there.

It's pretty easy and straight forward if you follow the steps carefully. You just have to read it carefully, more than one time, and see if you understand every single step you have to do. If you don't, ask before starting. Pay special attention to the numbers (versions and so). Then, once you have all you need and you understand it all, you can go for it. If not, and you don't have any experience tampering with android phones, stay clar until you can be without a phone for a couple days. In my experience, nothing really bad ever happens. But true is that your phone might be useles for a couple days if you mess up in one important step (unlikely). But there is always a solution. Just gotta ask and do some digging and you'll sort it out.

Call me crazy, but Adaway is working on my N970U

I wouldn't post this if i was not for sure. I thought i was going crazy once i seen there was a new beta version out and installed it, version 5.0.3. I missed having Adaway enough that i would install it without root just to see the icon and to click around in it from time to time............not weird at all, i know
It even works for apps!......Download 'Ad Boom' from the Play Store and see for yourself

Apparently its no secrect, people are there talking about it but i'm so glad it works without root that i'm spreading the word. And because i didn't find it here, i just came across it on web.

Yes, thanks to vpn based adblock solution

No crazy at all, it works great and no need to root any more

Wooo......slow down there buddy ?. There is always reasons to root. If only to change the bootanimation or to simply stop seeing "Permission Denied". I use Termux a lot and i will get "Permission Denied" for various reasons. It's nice being able to type "su" and seeing $ go to # then typing in that same command and it doesn't hesitate because now your the boss.
Change my mind ?
Yes, I do have an unrootable Note 10, lol (long story). Means nothing, I stand firm
