[Q] Samsung Security hole - SII, SIII & Note II - General Questions and Answers

Hi Folks,
Untill now, I managed to always found the answers I was looking for by using the search function. But not this time I'm affraid and as I can't ask the question on the concerned topic (1st post on xda youhou!), I'll then create a topic in this purpose...
My question is about the recent discovery of the huge security hole with the Exynos in the SII & III. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I must be...) but from my understanding, it has to deal with the CPU and the Samsung Kernel.
So my question is: are the Custom rom and kernel concerned with this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance

Samsung Galaxy precedent forum?

Hi, I wanted to ask which is the best forum to post questions about the Precedent? It's by Straight Talk/TracFone. Its very similar to the Prevail (from what I've read) and also uses the Sprint Network (also from what I've heard).
Give Us A Forum Already!!
I second this! The Samsung Galaxy Precedent SCH-M828c needs its own forum!!!! We have roms we want to post!!!!
Did we ever get one?
I wouldn't hold my breath...
Looks like you didn't and most likely wont get one either, xda seems to be rather lackluster for having forums for budget/entry level devices..

forum for Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M)

I was not sure who to contact in this case so i decided to post here. Is it possible to create a new forum for the Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M). The reason i am asking is because there is actually no forum for this device. Just are a few posts scattered in the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 > Galaxy S II General section which can be very misleading. I think it would be beneficial in this case as there are a few people already working on the CM9 and CM10 roms plus it has been visited by thousand. Yes i agree not near as many as some devices (Galaxy S3) but as you can see there are people visiting the few posts every day.
Sincerely Gentledroid
any ideas who i may need to contact?

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S - Verizon Fascinate - Help

Guys,
First I hope I'm not invading; I used my judgment that that is th proper place for my question.
I found an old dusty Verizon Samsung Galaxy S; did some reading on wiki to find out that is can sustain ICS!
My first question - is that true?
My second question - how do I do it? it's my first time rooting and all the tutorials on YouTube I found are 1)very old 2)lacking the files 3) some users comment things don't work.
So if there is a good soul out there which is willing to help, help will be much appreciated.
Peace amigos.

[Completed] Root for Samsung Galaxy S6 Active SM-G890A (AT&T)

Hi everybody and specially the moderators. Attention seeking for this particular device
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active SM-G890A which is released exclusively by AT&T.
Now this is a very different device than standard S6 or S6 Edge or S6 Edge Plus, still there is not a separate section for this device. Henceforth requesting the moderators/admin of XDA family to create a separate section for this device. The devices's thread is post under normal S6 due to which the device is loosing attention by the ROM modders, and its been ages since we S6 active users are waiting for a root for this device. This device was released by AT&T with standard 5.0.2 and now been updated to 5.1.1. I am willing to provide the stock rom of both version. Any other areas where the community feels is lacking info for this device due to which it hasn't earned a separate section, I am willing to provide all the bits. So kindly look into the request and create a separate section for this device.
Awaiting the root badly....
Eh, not sure if you noticed, but there is a separate S6 Active section now. It was created two weeks back or so...
Where's that main section? All I can see is a sub-section as the topic creator stated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/galaxy-s6-active

I meant that subsection, which is already much better than before when we were just part of the S6 section

What is the best phone for best rom for best costumization options?

I'm using a Galaxy SII but as you know, it is pretty old for today. Now the question is:
-Is there any phone like SII which have that much big DEV Com.m for today? I want to customize every little detail to my pleasure. Is that possible like old days?
The thread got closed since there already is a phone recommendation thread. Please use that one.
