dying to try damageless's v1 rom, but;
wtf is SecretControlModem.apk (and odex)
maybe just being paranoid...
I had a previous post about this. It was in the original 2.1 flip and them posted. No one ever answered me. So, it's not Damage's.
google search gives nothing either. it references these threads. fishy.
Why don't you flash and pull those files out and see what happens

also im not saying anyone has DONE anything fishy with their roms... (we're all basically using the same rom now anyway, whole lot of cut and paste going on) its just weird that this package is referenced NOWHERE

I saw that in the Eris dump when i was playing with it. The way i figure, if it's some call home tattletale app built into test software, it calls back to verizon and I have unlimited data - at that point I chuckled and stopped caring.

it comes from the Eris dump. If it's some tracking software put in there to keep people from sharing it, it will call back to Verizon. It wont cost me anything, since data is free.
then i realized i was getting freaked out over phone software, so I just laughed at myself and installed anyway.
It very well could be something that whoever leaked it out put in. I don't have anything I care about on my phone. I'm not suggesting it's safe, just that I thought I was silly.

how do i remove this? i tried it via root explorer and it didn't work...
hmmm. under further inspection i believe it takes screenshots as it contains the same exact instructions as shootme in the apk. very strange. kinda scary. i remember someone on said on the forum where the eris was leaked tht the guy who posted it will be able to see everything you do and he and the guy who started the post has only 1 post on xda to this day
but no big worrys lol it also contains png's with htc's logo.

im not sure. in the resources theres nothing to specify that. its like it takes a screenshot when you do something to trigger it and bam it sends? lol creeeepy
I've tried examining the apk myself, where are you seeing instructions that relate to ShootMe? Is it not also possible it is similar because you are looking at aspects of the APK that would be shared across most APKs in general?
Not saying this isn't something malicious, just curious what we have to suggest that it truly is.
I'm hoping its a case of "Paranoia will destroy ya", but I supposed it is possible we are all running some kind of screen-grabbing trojan. In the meantime, either follow gbhil and remove them, or hope its something legit we just don't understand.

Tehe, thus far I've held off on the 2.1 builds because stuff hasn't been working, I guess since I'm backing up my device and switching ROM builds today anyway I'll have to just accidentally pop this on there and see what happens :-D
Edit: Was unable to get the Market to work at all. No FC message, just fails to start.

Wow, this ROM FREAKING FLIES.
The pinch to zoom on the home screen is blazing fast. I am extremely impressed. 2.1 on our devices is going to be awesome. Thanks again for your hard work Gbhil!!!!
**Edit**
Location, like all other 2.1 ROMs I've tried though, is off. It initially said I was in Kansas City, which is right, but it quickly changed to "Washington" which is what the other roms said, which DEFINITELY isn't right

To add to my previous post, the location services are working fine, it just seems (like in other 2.1 roms) that the location noted in the HTC home screen clock is what isn't working properly.
I get the correct location returned in one of my test apps, and see myself fine in the Google maps v4, so I dunno...maybe there's something missing with the HTC Location Services apk?
Oh yeah, and SetCPU is awesome on this rom too
would i have to wipe this coming from fresh rom??

you can do it yourself.
download a firmware (e.g. the one you use), extract the factoryfs.rfs and open it with MagicISO (simply go to file, open, select the factoryfs.rfs file and hit open), there you can select the apps from system/app
I have a UK tab which came pre-installed with NOVA HD. Since changing the firmware/updating the tab (following a few of the threads on here) I lost a few of the pre-installed apps. I got most of everything back worth anything (and a lot of the Samsung apps were just links to various websites) but I lost NOVA HD. I'm loathe to pay for it and wanted to know if there is any way to get it back? Was tempted to bluetooth the APK from a demo machine. Any suggestions or is it gonna cost me £3?
Thanks

You will need swype.apk from system/app and libswype.so from system/lib

At least they would tell you if that sector has been overwritten or not.

[GUIDE] Internal Memory Data Recovery - Yes We Can!
sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus
The first thing to do would be to STOP USING THE PHONE. The more you use it, the higher the chance of the data being overwritten and thus unrecoverable. Remember, "deleting" something only marks it as available on the disk/flash memory.
http://www.icare-recovery.com/free/android-data-recovery-freeware.html
As above, if you carry on using the phone there's a chance you might write over the deleted file, any chance of recovery then becomes much more difficult, maybe even impossible. Try some of the software that's been mentioned above, if the files not been overwritten you should have a good chance of recovery.

correct as the past few posts say if you havnt overwritten that area of your internal storage where the video was saved you should no problem using some recovery tools to get the deleted information. I work as a security analyst doing forensics and e-discovery. I recommend the program r-studio to recovery deleted information. you will have to pay for it unless you can find a free copy on the internet.. lol but you can also get a trial of it which will let you recovery files smaller than like 1mb which might not help you but you can at least use the trial to determine if the video is recoverable.
You can also use diskdigger. The free version should do what you need it to

Sadly I can't seem to get anything watchable back. I got a couple of bruises and my jaw still kinda hurts, but it's nothing permanent.
I got an app that can undo removal of photos and videos for the next time something like this happens, also I should be more carefull not to put myself in harms way again. People are unpredictable.
