Which is this guy https://www.facebook.com/panisz.peter

Interesting, he seems to be reposting most of your stuff.
I take it you want to give him a kick up the backside?

I'm not too terribly fond of how they're mirroring my jailbreak tools, but it's within the license I specified.
Edit: I doubt that their advertisements are even close to compensating them for server costs, either.

Thanks all.
I was kinda hoping he would just come forward on the forums.
I would really appreciate it if he would at least had the decency to cross link back to XDA and link back to the sources.
I'm going to start digitally signing all the ports I release and make sure they include XDA info in them.
Cheers!

Yeah, good idea, if you can afford a certificate. That'd also show the UAC dialog in blue when running one of your ports as Administrator. (Windows RT's kernel only trusts Microsoft keys, but its UI and such trust essentially the full range of root certificates that the x86 versions do.)

Testing our secure phone software (Raseac Secure Phone).

Dear Sirs.
I am deploying our product next version, the Raseac Secure Phone.
Currently our fixed line version is totaly free, with AES 256 bits encryption, CBC mode and random IV cryptography, and if you want to use your HTC hardware to do secure fixed calls, you need to buy the socket sdio 56k modem (see this modem at socketcom.com).
Currently we don't tested our product under the CDMA netword, and we are asking for some help if you have a couple of HTC equipments and a CDMA-CSD (Circuit Switched Data) available.
Our GSM-CSD version have a limited time of one minute for each call (we need to make money selling our full cellular version ).
Our Quick Install User's manual version 3.0 will be deployed next week, and currently we have only our 2.0 version manual. If you have interest in taking a look in our product, i am ready to support you.
We don't tested our product under WM 2005, only with WM 2003, if you want to take a look under the WM 2005 operating system, i would be glad.
I am this product developer, and only one.
This version is very nice, i am working hard in our next version (we will have a lot of good news in this new version, but for the moment i can't disclosure the news).
Please go to our main page and download page in order to download the Unlimited fixed line version and the freeware one minute cellular version.

Any contact, please send an e-mail to me:
Thank you.

WM 2005 certification
When will it be certified for WM 2005?
Raseac working with WM2005
I will test our system with wm2005 next 3 months.
If someone could help us testing our freeware version with wm2005 (the freeware allows one minute of secure conversation for each call) , i am ready to support him.
The freeware download is available in our site (http://www.raseac.com.br). The new 3.0 version english manual will be ready next week, currently we have only the 2.0 version.
Cesar.
This sounds very similar to cryptophone, is their any relationship to this company??
Cryptophone relationship.
We don't have any relationship with cryptophone.
Our projects are different, both have the target of doing secure phone conversations, both use the GSM-CSD data channel, but both have different security design.
Cryptophone is an hardware/software, our product is a software.

How can I send files to another phone WITHOUT using bluetooth...

I would like some sort of program to send any type of file to somebody else with a WM phone, not near me, without emailing or sending an mms. Basically sometimes I find cab files that I want my friends to have, or videos etc., and they are usually bigger than AT*T's garbage of a limit. Is there any peer to peer software, or any sort of software to send directly to somebody elses phone? I've looked but haven't found answers. Thanks!
So you want to send someone a file, without bluetooth, e-mail or mms. mmmm. Maybe you should invent a time machine and see how they send files in the future. But I am not sure if the future file senders will work on windows mobile 6.
Okay....figured I would get some retarded answers by closed minded noobs.
Anybody have any real ideas? Maybe some sort of P2P software? I could easily make one for Windows (winsock), but IDK about Windows Mobile.
if you could make the program for pc
then with a tiny modification the program would compile on pocketpc
and work
thats the real str of windows mobile

The only thing is for PC it would use Winsock and IP address', I don't know if WM uses winsock, but I doubt it.
as i said in my post
only minor changes if any would be required
for your code to compile and work under
windows mobile be it in
.net, win32 or MFC
so yeah sockets works fine
and if you google you will prob
find more then 1 program which already does
what you need

I realize that, but I don't think winsock is compatible w/ WM!!
I don't know much about this but could you go online and put the file on rapidshare or something from your device? Then whoever want's the file can go to the address and download the file themselves from wherever they want online?
Just a thought. I never tried, and never uploaded anything to rapidshare etc.. from my computer or from a handheld device.
You could also just send them the link via email etc.. to the original site that has the download so they can download themselves.

That is pretty much what I have been doing, except I use my own personal server. Thanks for the input
there used to be a peer to peer software (and it was free) but the project died and the files were removed...... i can remember the name now i'll do some thinking, you may be able to dig up an old file on it somewhere.....

i attached the cab below
Thanks for that, I'll def try it out. Do you know of anything for a 1 on 1 basis? Not shared through a network or server per say, but more so connect 1 on 1 with another WM device through IP or something.

can't say i have, i haven't ever used that p2p software but there may be some kind of privacy settings that allow for that (i've seen something similar on desktop programs)

Best Practise Android <-> Webservice

I'm planning to build an app which has a client and a service part. but i have no plan how i should realize the communication. (should be as standardconform as possible).
I looked a bit around and found for now two ways, where each one has pros and contras.
kSOAP
Pro:
Standardconform
Servicedescription
Class Generation
Contra:
External Library
Slow
JSON
Pro:
Lightweight and fast
Buildin Library
Works in combination with a MVC (symfony)
Contra:
No Standard
No Servicedescription
No Class Generation
Kind regards
Ghost
I would use JSON. Most social networks use JSON for communication with apps. Just have a small HTTP server running and send the commands through POST methods and let the server return the JSON objects.
First off, JSON is a open standard, as defined in RFC 4627
Second off, the comparsion doesn't really hold imo, (k)SOAP is a structured information exchange protocol, JSON is merely a data serializer, like YAML. What they try to accomplish are to very different things. As for the added code that you'd have to write, unlike class generation handling JSON/YAML messages can be done very easily in one factory design-pattern setup. Hand the factory a message, it produces an instance of a specific class, if your messages are properly abstracted, this shouldn't be hard.
with JSON i meant to build such an information exchange around JSON. but this would be something selfmade and not a standard. while the information exchange with soap is a standard and each programmer would be able to build easily without much docu an client for that service. after i want to release that software under the gpl and plan the service as something open like jabber, it would make sense to design the data exchange between service and client as easy as possible.

Go with JSON. Just describe your API / exchanged JSON-Objects and every programmer would be fine with that.
so it seems, that noone thinks that soap is a googd thing... so i'll use json, thanks
if soap is too heavy, try xml-rpc, its like a simple version of soap
Is it already implemented in the android libs? Or is there somewhere an androitd lib for that out?

No, but the xml-rpc protocol is very simple you could easily write a small class to generate the required xml and send it over http
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML-RPC
Edit:
theres java classes linked to on that wikipedia page, that should work on android

Mods please move this post if in the wrong place. OK, I couldn't find it ANYWHERE on XDA but, I did find it by doing extensive baidu (China's Equivalent of Google Search engine) searches and translations. So I give to you all QPST 2.7 build 402. I have the newest and latest QXDM and QCAT also. They were uploaded to the Chinese site on February 13, 2013. QXDM requires activation so I wont post it. I will post QCAT if anyone requests it though, as it does not require activation and neither does this version of QPST. I have seen numerous posts over the net where people wanted QPST 2.7 build 385 but this one surpasses that version. Annoyingly enough though, I still cant write settings to my girlfriends LGL55CV3 Straight Talk android phone with it . So if anyone here can help me out on this, please feel free to do so. So enjoy and hit thanks if I've helped you out.:good: http://www.mediafire.com/?yya85byog8kqtxn

I did some checking and a few people DID have issues with this. Thank you for bringing it to my attention...
If you install this via "setup.exe" it will put a backdoor on your system. It lives at "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Qualcomm". It will also add itself to the "HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run" key in the registry. There is no virus in the MSI file.
You should be able to detect it, remove it and use build 422. Again, I am using it without issue.

Hello, fellow QPST users.
QPST 2.7 Build 4.2.2 is a fake version with keylogger.
Some a$$hole downloaded latest public QPST build (4.0.2) and decompiled MSI installer package, then edited all "4.0.2" to "4.2.2", added "fake changelog", added keylogger (qualcomm.exe), then repackaged and spread around web!
Everyone who downloaded QPST build "4.2.2" should change all his passwords.
More info about malware from fake 4.2.2 build (QPST.2.7.422.msi)
MSI package (QPST.2.7.422.msi) was embedded/tampered with qualcomm.exe which is a .NET based malware that logs your keystrokes and sends it to attacker's server.
How to delete the actual malware from your system?
Look at the startup from msconfig or CCleaner, there should be a file called qualcomm.exe thats set to start everytime system starts. Delete both registry and file.
If you wanted to see what data thief was stolen from you. Just open the .dc file (in "dclogs" folder) with Notepad and see for yourself.
In XP, dc file is located here!
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\dclogs
there should be a file called "201X-XX-XX-X.dc
if you open that DC files with Notepad, you'll see all your keystrokes.

Keylogger sends the logs from keylogger to "qpst.hopto.me"
So please report about this incident where and when you encounter QPST 4.2.2 somewhere (forums, posts, sharing-sites, etc)
Copy my whole post and paste it where you see 4.2.2 mentioned.
Bonus: Fake Changelog
If you've installed this 422 build, then open the Readme.txt in C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\Documents
Scroll down and see the "6/12/13 QPST 2.7.422 changelog"
6/12/13 QPST 2.7.422
1) EFS Hello commands will not be sent unless the device is in a compatible mode. Sending this command when the
device is in download mode can cause a "server busy" message for a few seconds because of command retries.
2) Support for the Sahara device protocol (see 80-N1008-1 or equivalent) is now built in to the QPST server process.
This protocol is only supported by USB Serial ports, not TCP/IP connections. In QPST Configuration a device in
this mode will display as "Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download)". This mode can only be detected (1) when the QPST server
process starts or a COM port in this mode added to QPST, or (2) when a device enters Sahara mode on a port assigned
to QPST. This is because the device only sends its Hello message once, as soon as the COM port is opened.

Changelog above is actually cloned from QPST 2.7.394 Just scroll down and see Build 2.7.394 changelog. Its same!
So forget about Build 422. It doesn't exist.
Use QPST 2.7 Build 402. It's the latest public build
Sorry about my english

Hello guys, i have a LG G2 with 3g issue , it works just in 2g, somebody can upload his QCN file so i try to replace mine with it? Thank you so much
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!! TROJAN AGAIN !!!
Some time ago in Feb 2014 man named anycallmongolia posted a link to QPST 2.7 build 411
Link points to the site HuaweiDevices.ru
h_t_t_p_://_huaweidevices._ru/ROMS/QPST_2.7.411.rar
Later I'd personally downloaded this version from this topic a few times in 2014 and this was normal non fake QPST which i'd installed on a few PC's. (Can't remember particular link now). Today I would like to install QPST to a new NB PC, so assumed this topic as the best source. Being a recovery/data structures expert I always inspect code (mostly by viewing in text/hex). As most of members I've very high trust level to xda (certainly it's much higher then one related to the "famous and respectable" corps like Google/MS/Apple/etc, who aren't on my side, I'm sure).
I've installed QPST got from this topic a few times, so I'd almost pressed Enter (I use FAR most of time and advice you to do the same) over the DL'd file "qpst 2 7 411.exe".... What??? - EXE??? And it's just about 500Kb long... But QPST installer occupies about 16Mb.
I've explored body - I's typical malware with slightly "encoded" (to prevent direct reading) data inside. QXDM offered on the neighbor page is the same malware of the same size.
If you'll try to dl QPST from above link you'll got 404 error in the center of normal html page with site menu etc... What normal man would think in this case? He'll think page/product have moved (e.g. due to overload protection) and what he'll do next? He'll try to find where page have moved and... will got link in menu just at the bottom of 404 page. It's just trivial (but very good working!) "social engineering" - publish real app in trusted place and when it will pass checks replace it with malware. (Or may be domain was sold to the criminals as it often occures in Russia for a few latest years). Even if you will check DL url in the status bar it will show link to the .RAR archive, but ASAY click the link it will be redirected to .exe!
PLEASE PUBLISH BIG WARNING on TOPIC START and remove links to HUAWEIDEVICES.RU!!!
Furthermore. Situation is much worse because huaweidevices shows 1ST position in search request "QPST 2.7.411" by Yandex.ru (#1 search engine in Russia) and 2ND position in Google results with the same request!!! It's VERY DANGEROUS situation! Thousands if not millions of peoples are at risk of infection.
I'm going to write abuses to Google and Yandex NOW!
Please spread info on such a new attack manner/technique around your friends, collegues and internet.!
Always check what you run!!!

Very very very BIG Thank you!!!
That's really new one and it contains new very promising QFIL util. Didn't explored much yet!
God bless on you man!
BTW does anybody know how to descramble (decrypt)/scramble (encrypt) back EFS/NVRAM partitions (in most cases modemst*). I'd like to be able to patch/change every byte in EFS (not just locks etc bull****, my phones are always free of any contracts). Full modem FW reversing seems too difficult to me (i'm 'not so strong' in ARM assembly and there is too much code in modem FW). I'm sure for a such long period (over decade) of EFS life there should be methods around to manipulate it independently of mfr/commercial products, but I can't find them for a long time. Trust me, it's fully idiotic situation I'm (you're) not able to do with my (yours) computer (PDA is computer, not the "phone") all I want to do being "restricted" to access only data some f...n mfr "allowed" me to access. It's my device, I'd paid for it and I will decide what me to do with it.
Furthermore, modern public licenses don't allow to hide parts of object (device) code, where GNU/GPL code is the main part. Is anybody here who think that Linux/Unix value in ALL there f...n "modern" Android devices less than 90%? Most router mfrs have already forced by requirements GNU/GPL to publish full compilable code of their firmware. I shouldn't have clue what all they want to hide related to their "commercial" and manipulating interests. Using 30years of thousands people's free labor in their commercial products , they're obligated to publish full sources and should DO IT.
Apple is today wealthiest corp on this planet, but If you'll look into the Apple's internals you'll find tons of MODERN Linux code (protected by modern GNU/GPL) simply stolen from open source depositories, then adopted to MacOS/iOS then closed and sold as commercial product . Is it fair game?

I hear you about Apple, used to be a hardcore fan, when they were nearly bankrupt. I still swear by OS X, but not the iTard line of devices. I tell my nieces and nephews to get an Android cause they are not ignorant! lol There should be more of an effort to make people understand that Apple is using allot of *BSD (Linux) source. The GUI is closed, but some of the other source is available in the dev program site they host.

Thank you! Certainly I know this good product. It can manipulate NVRAM through COM-port, just the way QPST does it communicating w/modem FW. Is has many advanced options but seems not to be reliable enough (too many OEM customizations around, it's difficult to reverse all) As you stated it can also backup some partitions (like EFS). but you can do this yourself just by simple ADB/Unix shell commands (e.g. "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p?? of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p??.img")
You can write simple scripts and perform such backups directly from device (to SD). Furthermore, you can customize CWM/TWRP for your device to perform such backups from recovery.
To do it you should know which partition numbers to backup/restore (to backup/restore what data you want).
There are methods/commands available to get needed info to build full device partition map (e.g. some devices contains "folders" named "by-names" deeper in /dev/block/... (where partitions are named), but in some cases (e.g. some 2013 MSM7227 based Samsung phones like GT-S756x) there is no names associated with particular proprietary partitions in the device, (at all) so the only way to find what data reside there is to backup and look (hex) with your own "experienced" eyes what these data seems to be (or search what others found on the theme). EFSPro "from the box" also knows only a few device's partition maps so, in most cases you should build configuration for your device manually with full knowledge of it.
There is no problem to locate and backup encrypted modem data partitions (modemst*/efs/etc...) if your device is rooted. Moreover, if your device has standard Qualcomm bootloader (not OEM's cut) you can switch device to the standard Qualcom DM (download mode) when all your eMMC contents will be exposed to USB bus as mass storage device (just like UFD or SDCard) and you can backup/restore whole drive contents or particular partitions just like PC's own partitions (try some "chnese" stuff (made of quality parts) instead of "branded" ones and you'll see superiority of the "open world".
But main question is how to decrypt modem data to explore and change them as I want at any time. Mfrs (i.e. Qualcomm and OEMs hide serials, locks etc BS there, but there is a lot of other interesting stuff related to modem configuration which is also closed and encrypted. This drives me wild because it's my device and my serials/locks and other stuff too, so it's my option to do with is what I want and no one else. I'm definitely know and sure modem FW/config and even mask ROM (which we most probably never will be able to explore) contains many hidden features that may lead to remotely force device to collect info about user and perform actions without his knowledge and consent. I have no matter what all these sec... services planned to do with all these exploits they forced OEMs/chipmakers to implement., but (sic!) they allowed information about these exploits to leak wild! So some "generic" engineers who simply have job and low level access to cellular provider's equipment (which able to broadcast custom service packets) to make "what they want with user's phones (e.g. switch it on or request GPS data) just "for fun". F them all, but most idiotic is fact that being an 25y experienced "lowest level" service engineer I can't get access and control over my own devices (i.e. computers). It's incorrect. It would be difficult but we should pay more attention to explore internals and get clue what goes on.

FWIW
I hear you about Apple, used to be a hardcore fan, when they were nearly bankrupt. I still swear by OS X, but not the iTard line of devices. I tell my nieces and nephews to get an Android cause they are not ignorant! lol There should be more of an effort to make people understand that Apple is using allot of *BSD (Linux) source. The GUI is closed, but some of the other source is available in the dev program site they host.

I've personally explored OSX files and partitions and seen much modern Linux code inside. They even don't hide "copyrights". Nobody will explore anyway and nobody cares. Old 80x-90x versions of public licenses allowed to do "anything" with free open sources (including to make changes, then close sources and sell product). After some smartasses like Apple used this hole to sell free labor of thousands of peoples, public license had changed. Modern licenses allows you to sell derived product, but obligate you to open sources (with same license) so anyone else can use them to and sell too. You can't close your part of sources if free code is most valuable part of your product. E.g. router mfr can't close part his own sources to make firmware sources "uncompilable" because Linux definitely is most valuable part of router FW. This warrant later development of free open source programs and free community n whole. Apple stated that they used only old 80x code in their OS'es and then developed it separately and thus they are not obligated to open sources to everyone. They would be right unless they didn''t used a lot of modern code protected by modern public license's requirements. I didn't explored deeply. May be they publish all derived code for free. Today we can't say accurately if some modern Linux components they adopt for Mac/iOS are most valuable part of their systems or not. We should explore all the code to make decision. but anyway it's not fair to use a lot of thousand's people's free labor just to make money. Google's position here is not ideal but much more fair. They publish most of sources and support open source community. They don't try to make system "unbreakable" and they don't force you to use their accounts too much. I've NO Google "phone" account AT ALL. I've no need in any "markets", "clouds" ect BS., which lead absolutely no problem to me to effectively use Android devices. There are lots of free APK's around
It practice, I have 2-3 old iPhones just for experiments. Yes we have Jailbreaks and some other stuff, but even if you break and get access to your device it's very uncomfortable to work with it at low level. On my sight just one ADB interface costs more then all "jingles and bells" of iOS's GUI. All these "tethered-untethered", "unbreakable" bootloaders in Mask ROM, lack of normal tools to explore and manage data on any level, total control and extraction of my data by mfr via strongly encrypted obfuscated protocols and hidden services make these devices useless for me in practice.
Windows Phone is even far more closed OS then iOS. You have no control over your data at all. You can't do a thing with WP device unless you sign up with MS account. You can't get access to your own data (except MM files) unless you sync it with MS cloud, i.e. you will be forced to send all your private data to MS and MS will decide whether to give piece of it back to you or not. Matrix in action. I've absolutely no clue what thought MS bosses when they decided to close ALL in OS that have had less than 1% of market. Their 1st goal was to attract developers to write apps for their OS and there was no better way to kick them than "close All". There is no matter does it perform GUI actions good or not when devs and users have no effective way to collect and use "useful" results of device's work.

[APP][4.0+] #NoChromo - A wild ad-blocking browser appears [v51.0.2695.0][2016/04]

Once upon a time the lord Google releaseth teh Chrome, and the people marvelled in great wonder. Never before could they partake in so many internets in so little time.
Yet even then, the ceiling of lolcats/hour was quickly reached, for the pages were blinky and full of distractions, and the leeching of bandwidth delayed any reactions. Viagra! Cialis! Which button to button to download the download? What happened next will amaze you.
Reinforcements arrived in the form of extensions, blocking ads and performing malware prevention. Alas, as usual the exploits of the big and resourceful are no help at all to the friend in your hand.
Solutions abound. Proxies. Jailbreaks. None sanctioned by the ever-controlling and -vengeful bohemoth.
Here I present you with yet a different take on the problem, because I love you internet... #NoChromo
Err, what?
Right! This is nothing more than a modified build of Chromium (which recently saw a lot of sources from Chrome for Android added). It offers some built-in ad- and malware-blocking.
Note that it doesn't attempt any hiding of ad-sections, so you may be presented with blocks of empty space (or containing errors).
This is not a port of any existing ad-blocking plugin for 'grown-up' Chrome, it's just a quick reimagining of some of the parts. Sooner or later Chrome for Android will get extension support for a truly proper adblocker, I hope sooner.
FAQ
Reimagining?
It's coded in C++ and compiled directly into Chromium (a handful of ms per request, total memory use about 3mb), but it only covers URL manipulation at this time. It doesn't modify page content (remove/hide ad blocks), nor does it keep track of the type of request (some ad blockers do this for improved blocking).
vs hosts-based blocking, AdBlock Plus, uBlock?
Resource-wise it's as lean as host-based blocking, but its blocking is much finer grained than hosts-based, and doesn't require root. It does still lose from (desktop) ABP and uBlock in ad-blocking capacity, but uBlock isn't available on Android and I'm not a fan of ABP's methods (neither the technique of their Android solution nor their philosophy). So I'd put it squarely in the middle between hosts-based and the better known extensions.
What are the drawbacks?
Google did state the current Android source for Chromium is missing some codecs and other proprietary stuff. I haven't run into anything major, but you certainly might.
Will you support this?
Not officially, no. I built this for me, and it works on the sites I frequent. I'm just sharing it here so you can use it if you want to, or not if you don't. I may update it to newer sources once every while, or I might not. If it doesn't work for you on some site, just open it with regular Chrome.
That being said, it seems the Chromium source is not updated all that often, so if I update this once every few months you still wont be far behind. Not to mention that the sauce for my modifications are actually in the download folder, so you could build your own update if you wanted to.
And you are?
A dev from here on XDA who doesn't want his main account publicly associated with this, because I don't want to deal with possible retaliation from Google. Some of the site leadership know who I am, though. If this were malware, they'd take it down instead and tell everyone. If you don't want to trust me, sauce is available. If you can guess or know who I am, kindly STFU.

Zenfone is x86.......
@nochromo : thanks a lot.
As you work on the source, can you tell us if this version can enable us to navigate more anonymously than the original Chrome ? There's still a request at start to connect to Google Account !?
@marcof93
Zenfone 2 551ML uses Intel Atom CPU which is not ARM.

Intel Atom Z3580 is a 64bit processor, the Android version used in Zenfone 2 is a 32bit version, I tried both and shared my experience so the author can add this to the first post or work on it (also if he told that he doesn't want to support it).
@knot2006 I know, I want to help to community, now we know 100% that id doesn't work, I don't think I'm killing someone.

lets try this browser for a spin
And, umm, after a few minutes of usage on Bluestacks, it gives " Unfortunately, #NoChromo has stopped. " every time I open it.
Tried clear data.
arm 32 !!1 arm64 ?? which one should i use ??
i have samsung s advance with cm12.1 lollipop .
Doesn't work for Ti-Omaps?
Force closes on my Droid RAZR xt912 which is Lollipop 5.1.1 which has a Ti Omap 4430 32bit Arm-A9, works on my Galaxy s3 which is also Lollipop 5.1.1 so I thought it might just not work on Lollipop but maybe its just Ti Omap is just too outdated?
Works and does what it says on the tin on my Xperia Z2 (ARM32 version)and it's taken a long time to get something like this.
