NSA Developer on XDA? - Security Discussion

Dear xda users,
Yesterday I was talking with a friend of mine about custom roms. I think there are a few trojans in custom roms. Has anyone thought about this and took a look at the hole code?
Thanks

People app is a base part of Sense or miri left it out intentionally. You can load it via the People tab, Phone or SMS tab.
But why a new item, why not asked in the miri thread.

put the kernel on your sd card and flash from CWM and you will be fine bro.
people here should be nice and direct not throw comments out there then say OP is being an Ass that's what drives people away from the forum.

They could just have an error screen explaining why they can't post. Let them know they have to be a member for certain amount of time, or there could even be a kind of peer review, where existing developers can vouch for the new member.

I thought this was already the case.
Questions like this should be asked in the Q&A forum. Period.
Also, one should spend time reading the first 1-2 pages of each forum, ESPECIALLY sticky threads before posting. It is obviously clear that the original poster did not spend ANY time reading.
I was a noob once too - but I took the time to do my research and spent an evening or two browsing threads and learning when I first flashed my HTC Tilt. Same for when I bought my Tilt2. Same for when I bought my Huawei S7, and same for when I bought my Infuse and Tab 10.1.
The "teach a man to fish" proverb applies here. If you just handhold a user, they will never learn anything. If you force them to spend some time reading threads, they'll start learning how to educate themselves and learn a new device without asking questions about stuff that is widely documented.

That's no excuse! I've been in this game for years and have learned almost everything I know simply by reading. If I can do it so can the noobs. Period. This guy deserves everything and anything he gets. I'm with Entropy. They must be forced to learn!
I'd say "ok guys back to topic" but instead I'll say "crap, here comes Neo again!"
Agreed.
A bit of reading would help everyone. Generally speaking, most questions have probably been asked before and even if they haven't; it is best to search anyway because you might stumble across the answer.
I'm all about being helpful, but constantly coddling people while they do the wrong thing isn't helping anyone. I want us to have a large user base so that our development continues to expand, but not just so that we have a lot of ignorant people running around posting the same thing over and over without doing a bit of searching.
It isn't as if this post was some desperate call for help because their phone stopped working after installing a ROM. It was just someone being lazy.

Rooting Mesmerize already running 2.3.4?

I picked up a Mesmerize yesterday and was surprised to find it already running 2.3.4. I'm not sure if that's already a common thing on these, but coming from the Captivate world (still have it for personal use, the Mez is for work) it seemed very surprising.
Anyway, I definitely want to root this thing and get rid of the bloat; Is there a specific process for rooting these things with 2.3.4? I keep seeing stuff for Eclair and Froyo, but am unsure if GB uses the same Z4Root process or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck.. there is NO development going on for this phone.

There doesn't appear to be any way for users to root GB on our phones at the moment. The only solution that I've found presented so far is to flash a pre-rooted ROM.

The developers didn't want to get fisted.
To the best of my knowledge, you basically have to flash in a rooted image - the older root exploits used apparently were finally patched in 2.3.

there really isn't another place where developing is going on for this Rom regardless of what people say.
There might be a rom out there somewhere, but I can't find it.

I've counted about 10 or so Gingerbread ROMs available for the Mesmerize, 2 AOSP and the rest TW-based. Roughly half have had some sort of activity within the month.
Oh yea and CM7.1 just dropped this morning, so yes there is still dev for this phone............
Anyone actually looking check out rootzwiki.com its got a decent mez section. Also if u have a new eh09 outta the box it wont except anything below eh09. Weird modem issues.

ya i'll have to disagree too, there are lots of TW and non-TW based roms out there, personally I use MIUI...honestly unless u have to root specifically for an application and don't want to use a custom rom rooting the stock rom is useless, since the mes has an unlocked bootloader you can just flash clockwork whenever you want and load whatever rom suits you.

Well you can't expect a Rom for an underused device. Besides isn't this device from 1 year ago? If there wasn't any interest then, it's highly unlikely there would be now...

true, but some operators have it for mere €29 (i.e. vodafone ireland when switching number, with possible €20 cashback from fatcheese) now, so it is great backup phone for around €10 unlocked give or take
that means there might be plenty of those around soon, while it isn't powerful device it isn't bad at all

ROMs....

Hello Guys,
I made this thread to ask if anyone needs any rom or kernel which has a dead link. I have a 40gig folder which is full of stuff for the glacier, and since my glacier doesn't work properly, I was gonna delete it. I kept it though for now in case anyone needs anything from it.
I also have some unofficial roms ...(coughsoulsensecough).. lol.
Interested to see what that's all about, if u know what I mean (cough, nudge, cough) lol

I am interested. Can you share a couple of recent and stable ROMs?

The links should still be up for the recent roms, if you can find a dead link I'll upload it
I would love to see what you have in your stash. I was just given this device, and there's not much current development happening. I've heard of a certain Rom *cough* that I haven't been able to find, and I would also like the scoop on what kernels are out there. Almost every Rom I try, I keep running into the same issues. IE: lag and graphic glitches.
