lol thought so

Nope.
There was an application called android-torrent which supposedly 'stopped working', personally I never got any of the builds to connect to peers (check out the reported issues).

Thanks Adrian. But you know, it works for me Connects peers as it should, and downloads files without problems.

Swarm works great. There are several other torrent Apps in the market.

Getting Rid of Goo.im

So an unpleasant surprise in the EOS Nightlies and a few other builds is the inclusion of SPAMWARE called Goo.im. Its a notification app that could double as spyware as well. Its full functionality and the extent it can invade your privacy is unknown.
To remove it, simply do the following:
- Start Titanium Backup
- Find Goo Manager
- Long press to convert to user app
- Once converted, long press again to delete
After that you'll be free of this SPAMWARE.

Its not spamware it tells you when you have an update for your rom and gapps

In my books - that is SPAM. Never the less, new users of nightlies will find removing this or disabling a little difficult and this post is meant to be informational for all those who don't want opt-out notification.

Understandable simple solution is not flashing custom roms unless it has opt-out feature,no disrespect intended.

First of all, I believe it is called gooManager.
If this is what you are referring to, this is not a spam or malware. Your book could be infected, with all respect, no offence...
This is an application subscribed to by team eos to host many dev apps, and ROMs and to notify you whenever there is an update available for you. Is it an added value feature that other ROMs lack. It is not spam no whatsover... thx for the tip though on how to use titanium backup...

Dude you might need to places ur time in something else other then flashing Roms bc that feature u so called what to show people how to remove is a blessing to everyone that understand they don't have to go in to the rom and select the update every time. Also, people have put a lot of time in to that feature.

Goo manager is NOT spam and is in fact the ONLY app I use to automatically notify me of a ROM or gapps update then download the update, wipe, backup and flash all from the app (as long as open script recovery). I even donated $10 for support of the dev.
Your opinions are your own but realize you are incorrect to call it spam or imply that it is in any way malicious. Uninstalling it should have sufficed without need for this thread... IMO.

?!
... perhaps you just shouldn't use our ROMs then; in fact, I'd prefer that you don't (seriously!) if you have those kinds of issues with our builds.
BTW, you're not making much sense- after all, we make these ROMs ourselves essentially from scratch- if we'd wanted to "spy" on you, there's FAR more innocuous ways to do it (that you'd never know about nor be able to remove w/o a full wipe) than having to "install 'spy'ware".

This thread sucks. If you don't want update notifications, go into the settings on goomanager and set the "ROM Update Frequency" setting to never.

It's along the same lines as google, moto etc telling you an OTA is available?

I bet the OP wouldn't consider the free version of clockwork baked into many of the ROMs i've installed to be malware, simply since he'd heard of that one... lol. Ignorance is bliss, or egg on the face. Thanks goo, I use you all the time and happily sponsored too!

Mr OP... Your thoughts here are very flawed and they lack insight and logic. I know I really shouldn't give this guy the time of day and he is likely a troll... But if you ARE new to this stuff and you are feeling your way through these processes, you need more information than he gave.
First is a simple argument with very simple logic. If indeed this app is malicious in intent, you can trust that they would have simply been caught by now! Do you really think all the code writers and programmers and enthusiasts and all around nerds (I can say it cause I am one) wouldn't have discovered it? The awesome people on this board were able to find out that a ICS leak for the Motorola DROID Bionic had a check in place that stopped the returning to stock process. And they didn't do it by experimentation, they busted through the code and put it through tests... Other stuff cause they're just that damn good!
Secondly, if they were again being malicious and say they were caught but they somehow convinced everyone that has caught them to keep it quiet and they cut them in on the action... Dude, really? We did in fact for to the moon, I promise you that. (that's a conspiracy theory crack, didn't want the genius OP to miss out on a joke).
Third, it's not necessary you tell people how to get rid of the app because if you're on this board, you're smarter... Wait.... Since we are dealing with this thread I can't say EVERYONE here is smart.
In the end, this is a much optional app. Rooting and roming are much optional. If you don't want it, don't use it. No one really cares to invade your privacy, no one cares what porn you browse on your Xoom! If you hate this kind of stuff go buy iProducts and be a drone like the rest of the hipsters.
Have a nice night now!

*rolls eyes*.....*types out long reply to OP*....*spam backspace*....*hits submit reply*

U mad OP?
Hit the thanks button and wam it disappears ! Try it.

I wasn't a fan of the notifications, and prefer to boot into recovery to flash updates, so I uninstalled, not seen any reasons to claim it was malicious though... perhaps the OP doesn't understand why it has the permissions it has :-\

AdAway, AdFree, AdBlock Plus or what???

I don't know what to use. I've used AdFree before but replaced it with AdAway. Recently I switched from a CDMA carrier to a GSM carrier. And AdAway is telling me to alter my APN proxy. I already had to alter my APN proxy to get Data to work in the 1st place. So this is something I won't do. AdBlock Plus doesn't block ads in apps so it's not enough for me. Last time I used AdFree it was having problems. Is AdFree sorted or is there another app I haven't heard of?

It's not an app, it's a flashable zip, but it works better than any ad blocking app I've ever used and gets updated pretty regularly.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

I always have that installed on my phone and I never see any of that stuff so I guess it does. The only ads that I see with this installed is the ones highlighted in yellow in the Google search results, but I guess they refer to those as "Sponsored Links" instead of calling them what they are.lol

Yes, looking at its hosts file, that's what this thing consists of, it is blocking adfly as well.

You really should only respond when you are certain that your information is correct, not when you are *thinking* that it *might* be correct.

PS: I don't care about "don't bump up old threads, I'm crying like a baby girl now"-losers.

I am looking for the best available solution (currently using adaway)
I recently started using Go SMS Pro, but adaway can't block either the in-app ads nor the pop-up ads that come up after closing GO SMS
Any ideas?
anyone using one of the three aps and successfully blocked ads by GO SMS?

My response was adequate and was within the boundaries of the forum rules, unlike your post. To quote something you posted elsewhere:

Treat new members in the manner in which you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy.

Ahaha, I loved how girl/boyfriend is defined as 'victim' in that video! Must be some relationship if you actually need this video
I think it's smart marketing that recycles a very mundane feature. It's not exactly XDA material but I found it entertaining ^_^

You can do the same thing just by using chrome in desktop mode and use the other person cellphone WhatsApp web option and simple scan the barcode in your chrome or any browser. Just remember people always check that option in your WhatsApp so no one is spying on you lol. Beside the nsa

Most of the xda users in here just refer the thread title then go through.. So, it's true that your title itself says *No Root hack WhatsApp in 15secs*, so most of em' thought this thread is about hacking blah blah.so, they gonna leave a reply like that and most of em' even report these types of threads.
Change the title m8.

Please indulge us. Which one of the Forum Rules did the user violate? @uralok You don't need to change anything for anyone. In fact, this is a hack but more in the lifehack sense instead of the programming sense.
It has security value as well, which does fit nicely in the XDA culture. I don't have any experience with this feature but if it is true that the mobile user is not made aware that a web user is watching along, that's a pretty big deal. Is that the case?

According to the video, you have to have access to the other person's device to use THEIR device to scan the code. Why not just open their app and see who they are chatting with? (OK maybe you are grabbing their phone while they go to the bathroom and you only have a few seconds...)
Not saying it can't be useful to someone but the title is sort of click bait?

No, not in XDA for hacking stuff. You can look at my post history. I try to help people with their phones or search for information on new phones.
XDA shows me new posts in certain categories (like Android Development), and this post came up. I looked at the video to see if anyone could "hack" my account and they can't -- unless they had my phone in their hands and knew my unlock code in the first place.
That would be my wife. So yes, she could "spy" on me, but that's not REALLY hacking, which is an overused word. Every tip or trick is not "hacking".
To me, it's not really hacking if you already have unlocked physical access to their device. It's more like just simple "spying".
More akin to the FBI physically placing a GPS tracking device under your car. The FBI did NOT "hack" your car. They are simply spying on you.

I remember back in the day having Xposed and using Wanam Xposed or GravityBox. The snapchat mods, etc... Not to even mention rooting for TWRP and custom roms.
These days just doesn't seem worth the hit in battery life engineering kernels bring.

Plus the ability to use titanium backup to back up apps so if you have to install stick from thru odin you could restore apps. Hopefully root will let us change the stupid lock screen clock as the way it displays without notifications sucks.

Posted this in the REAL root update thread but I'll share it here, too. Oh, how I'd love to eat my words, I mean post, but I would temper the excitement.

Before anyone gets too excited, please read the Reddit thread linked above. You are being trolled. And if this does turn out to be the case, I'll do everything I can to call for him to be perma-banned.

lol this thread will be fun

Closing this placeholder thread they aren't allowed on XDA. When you have actual development to share, do so.
