Heartbleed an issue for our GS3? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

;So ... at the behest of some of the "security experts" I downloaded the Bluebox Heartbleed Scanner from the Play Store and got the following interesting results.
I'm running a TW ROM based on Samsung's Android 4.3 release. I was under the impression that only Android 4.1 was affected. So should we be worried?

I emailed the developers of the scanner app and here is their response concerning our GS3 on Android 4.3:
--
The version of OpenSSL is within the affected range but the heartbeats feature has been disabled, leaving you safe. *It turned out the version number isn't enough to confirm vulnerability.
We are working on a scanner update that will test whether the OpenSSL library has the heartbeat feature enabled/disabled rather than relying on the version number alone. That should fix the confusion you are seeing. *Stay tuned.
Thanks for the feedback!

It would have said "this version ... is vulnerable, but heartbeats are disabled so you're safe" if things were OK.
It says so on my phone.
Maybe you should giveit another try with the curren version, I have 1.2.1 from playstore.

Sign-In error for ..... (seems to be fixed now)

Just FYI.

Google Sign-In Error Causing Mass Panic In The Android Community – Stay Calm, Google On
Okay, maybe not panic but definitely confusion. If you’re currently the owner of an Android smartphone or tablet (and why wouldn’t you be?), you may have noticed your device prompting you about a “sign-in error” for you Google account. Attempting to follow the onscreen “touch to sign in to your account” directions will fail and take you back to the error screen.
But don’t freak out, everything seems to be working as normal. Apps can still be download and updated from the Play Store, Gmail is still syncing, etc. We’re not sure what the issue is, but we’re confident Google is hot on the case and everything will be fixed up shortly. For ROM flashers who were ready to wipe or flash a new ROM — STAHP.

It has no widget Otherwise a decent update.
I bet we see one in the next full update.
Any update to this application? Curious if a fix was pushed with a widget included.
This thread is obsolete now. See the latest version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218441
They added a widget, but it's still just as goofy with simple UI bugs as the original FC09 VVM app has. (Constant black rounded background behind the app name, and the name "Voicemail" is cut off.)

I have it installed since a day. It's Cyanogen OS 13.1 with changed phone app (I like this one better!), and Skype integration (you can remove this app), new Lockscreen mods, Microsoft Hyperlapse option in Camera app. Maybe One Note and Cortana integration, but only maybe in some countries (not here in Netherlands). Also Android security patch from july.
I'm sure there are some other changes or bug fixes. I'm not a big fan of all this Microsoft crap, but in general I'm sure some will appreciate the changes.
downloaded the update but can't flash it with twrp. can't even locate it on the phone memory.
Anyone knows where it might be stored?
Thanks

Android 10 rooted upgrade to Android 11/10

Today, I got a update notice with "update size 1.40 GB" on my rooted Pixel 3XL
I thought that would be the Android 11 update everyone else are receiving.
But no! It shows "Introducing Android 10"! (screenshot #1)
However, I already had Android 10 installed since Sep 5, 2019 (screenshot #2).
May I ask:
1. If I click the "Download and install", will it install the Android 10 again to my system? Do I need to root again? Is there any good reason to click and let it install?
2. How to disable such "system update" notice, if it makes no sense to install it.
3. The 2nd screenshot shows the security patch level was still on Sep 5, 2019 and never updated. Is this because the system is rooted so that no auto-update is pushed? Is this a big security concern?
Thank you!

I still have the problem.
Each time the update reminder popup, I just ignore it. Not sure what's the best I can do to it.

Try to revert back to any working version of the issued G-app. FYI, this issue is similar to "Google keep". I have to uninstall/reinstall the previous version whenever google play updates them automatically.
Here is a temporary workaround:
Go to the below website & find your app with the latest working version https://www.apkmirror.com/ E.g.: this one for Google Keep | arm64-v8a/armeabi-v7a
Save App.apk inside the compressed file (.rar format) for later use. [&& To avoid Xiaomi Cleaner from detecting & auto-deleting]
Using Winrar apk. Install/re-install your G-app normally when required.
I hope it helps.
Anyone who has other suggestions/solutions, my ear is all hear.
