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

Yea, just pops up our posts. lol lol It could be wired tethering, but I don't think Damage has it?
i am
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

Except by you and me. Our posts are the only ones that pop up about this.
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.

I un-apk'ed so to speak...and it was just an icon.

It was in the Eris ROM. I don't know why any of the other devs didn't catch it.
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.

Yea how do we get rid of this? If it's taking screenshots wouldn't they be stored somewhere on the phone - at least temporarily?

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.
I thought this was very strange. None of the other root-required apps that I have tried worked. Any idea why ShootMe does?
ive never used shootme and dont get my EVO until the 4th. how does shootme interact with the phone? how does it check for root access? how does it take a screenshot?
although i read, and dont know how accurate it is, the stock EVO which was given out contains su and sudo but we can't access them. maybe shootme can? im only speculating based on what i've read - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6619614&postcount=42
flashlight reported as working as well
I guess the phone isn't as locked down as we are used to. I am coming over from Verizon where the screen won't turn on unless you pay extra.
-Roger
Something in HTC's build did not protect the framebuffer from being read by non-root applications. It's a major security vulnerability, and it was most probably unintentional. If ShootMe can take a screenshot, any application can take a screenshot (and, say, send the developer pictures of your e-mail).

It could very well be an upside, possible way to root.

If this is part of a bigger issue that leads to a vulnerability, maybe, but the framebuffer being readable alone isn't enough to root.

I know, but everything is a possibility.
Shootme works because Framebuffer has different permissions set on it now. Before the permissions were set so that you needed root to do what shootme does.

thanks Stericson for the clarification.
any details on what the permissions for Framebuffer are now compared to what they were before? when did they change, all android 2.1 releases or just the EVO android 2.1?

But Verizon DOES have a history of locking down devices a little more... Like why hasn't the Incredible been rooted yet?

"How much" they lock down their device has nothing to do with how quickly you get root. It's how quickly the community finds root exploits.

The envy is setting in, at least until tomorrow morning.
Picked one up this morning. This is my first Android based phone, so it will take some getting used to. Other than that, the phone's build quality is exceptional.
P.S. - I noticed there is no way to see raw files and folders, I'm assuming there is an app for that.

do a market search for ASTRO or ROOT EXPLORER, you can see the files....you might need root for certain areas.
I fawkin' love my Inspire! I got it yesterday (it was time for an upgrade from the HTC Tilt 2). NIIIIIIIIIICE! So, now I'm trying to see what I can do with it.

HTC Official Skins
I'm having trouble logging into HTC Sense so was wondering if any could post the official HTC skins downloadable from HTC (Slate, Black Board, HTC, etc.). FYI, xda search is temporarily unavailable at the moment.
Edit: I just extracted the APK from the stock zip. If there are more than three stock HTC skins, please post. THX.

SuperOneClick. Pretty easy. Extract all the files and run the EXE... then click "ROOT".
I wonder how we'll access recovery since the normal procedure initiates a format.
The normal procedure does that on stock recovery, with cwm I guess it wouldn't do that

IF. From what I've been hearing from T-Mo and AT&T Reps is that the FCC doesn't like it at all and might not approve it. Which in turn causes AT&T to pay T-Mobile some money in the end and give them a nice chunk of spectrum.
Nothing's final yet.

Off topic here - but even if FCC and Justice reject it - Courts have been over ruling them on anti-competitive mergers - would just take longer (good).
I like t-mo. At&t is an evil empire wanting to take over the world.
As you probably know, we just got our first full ICS leak, even though it was for the me865. I am not going to comment on how useful it would be for the rest of us other than it will not flash correctly so don't try. All the devs here are pulling it apart to see what can be used.
It is extremely important that everyone is checking cheesecake as much as possible!!!!!
our biggest hope is that we can pull a leak from the US servers with ICS and/or an unlocked bootloader. See the stickied bootloader unlock thread for more info. I am working on an app/ other way to automate the process even more so that it can be checked more often as the updates will only stay available for a short period of time.
Been checking like crazy for the past few hours.
Seems as though most of the "QA" servers are down, as of right now. Or is it me?
Also, I did get a "Your device is up to date." message off of master-qa500.blurdev.com
Maybe that's something to keep our eye on possibly?
EDIT: seems like most of the servers are down. Still checking though.
Yeah if you get the "setup wifi" message the server is down. If you get your device is up to date the server is up but nothing is on it.

If you switch back to the "Production"..."master-blur.svcmot.com" server, that should be back to the regular server that it would otherwise normally check. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Also, Jim mentioned a way to use something like Tasker to help automate this as well. If farshad525hou makes an automated app, that would be awesome. In the meantime, does anyone know how to get Tasker to do that? Perhaps I'll send Jim a PM to see if he could put a little description of how it's done. That way people (myself included) will have less of an excuse to be checking the servers .

I've been checking cheesecake about every two hours since I got to work this morning. Haven't found anything yet but I have noticed more servers being active since this morning.
