[SOLVED] Possible stagefright infection - Security Discussion

EDIT: Nevermind, I am retarded.
Complete system freeze caused by opening an MMS video (Related to my custom DPI I believe) combined with an unknown IE login on my google devices (Bitdefender uses IE as its internal browser, I had tried to use google to login to it and forgotten about it).

TNT Lite 4.1

Ok, I'm on the next ROM flash 4.1 first starting with, as suggested by this site developer, with 2.2 in the ROM installing section.
PRO:
Full Google Market after some work, please review the Youtube video on this if the written instructions on this site does not work.
1. Go to settings, applications, system applications, market-force stop and clear cache.
2. Go to Google services framework--force stop clear data then reboot a couple of times.
4.1 improves on the quickness and stability of 2.4 which I migrated to after having issues with 2.2 and 2.4. Mainly slow scrolling issues and crappy browser, calendar and contacts. Plus, lack of a weather feature and would not recognize .wma files.
Cons:
I'm experiencing some Wifi issues. Wifi is on and appearing to receive, connected to my network yet unable to access the internet. The fix:
1. Go to settings, Wifi and settings, instead of choosing from a scanned network input my own SSID and encryption code.
2. Choosing never for under the advanced settings, wifi sleep policy from the drop down list.
I'm only giving my account so those choosing from the various ROMs will have an idea what they may be up against. Also, some bluetooth issues which I am still troubleshooting. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Biggest issue is they added in 4.1 usb debugging as the first option and with auto connection whether or not you have it checked in settings. Big problem for side loading. It has crashed my laptop Windows 7 (64) at least 7 times. Attempted to input the code in the C:/ prompt however that did not fix the problem. Anyone, any suggestions?
What worked in 4.1 without issue:
Android Market (full)
Adobe Flash 10.1
Adobe Reader
Android System Info
Andromax
Antivirus
Auto Killer
Bluetooth File Transfer
Camera
Cleanoid
Contacts
Desktop Labels
Dictionary
Documents to Go
EasyShare
Facebook
Gallery (found original version called Gallery Invoker in Android Market)
Gmail
Google Maps
Launchpro (with 7 homescreens running in a rotating cube, flawlessly with labels)
Navigation
Photoshop Mobile
ROM Manager
Task List
The Weather Channel (the weather feature was removed from the ROM)
Titanium Backup
TouchRecalibration (the browser fixed and fluid, bookmark to desktop is back)
tv.com (works extremely well)
Twitter
Wikidroid
Winamp
Yellowbook (not yellow pages but both work, but yellowbook is awesome giving you a street view of what you are searching for).
Re: 7 Homescreens--Productivity, Utilities & Tweaks, News & Resources, Communications, Entertainment, Quick Web Launch (for my favorite bookmarks from my browser) and Executive Assistant (which loads all my email accounts, social networking, RSS feeds--all on one screen. I can scroll up and down and see what has come in at a glance.)

[Q] Decrease OS services data usage

Hi guys
I need to know how to curb the data usage of OS services. I'm using ICE DS V6.5.
The problem is that if I want Gmail to sync and receive push messages, then under Droidwall I need to open : Google Play services, Google Services framework, Google account manager, network location, Google bookmark sync and Google contact sync for use. As they are all one "option" there is no way to open up individual ones.
When this is open, OS services starts to use too much data. It ranges from 2MB to 12MB per day. This is what I'm trying to stop. I have set the phone not to backup/restore settings as I've read this might be the cause. I've now tried turning off the Facebook contact sync and the Google contact sync. It still uses the data.
I'm guessing this is something to do with the ROM as I've had this working before in other ROMs with the above mentioned options opened and no drastic data use.
Any ideas ?
UPDATE: I've just left all those services disabled and now use K-9 for my email.
Its still using data. It used 6MB today while the second highest app was 272KB.
The only things allowed through Droidwall and their usages for today are :
Clock widget - 98KB
K-9 mail - 272KB
Facebook messenger - 120KB
Mxit(IM app) - 66KB
Opera Mini - 160KB
Tango(VoIP) - 0KB
Tapatalk(Forum app) - 0KB
Whatsapp(IM) - 175KB
ALL of the above apps are listed individually under My Data Manager, which (probably) means that they are not part of the OS services banner.

Google Now Server Side Connection Problem - After disable card feeds

google now network error check your network connections and try again[/B
When?
1. After disabling the card feeds.
2. A lot of options is google now settings is grayed out.
What?
I cannot access youTube / Play Store. All google related apps have no connection at all.
Except Chrome.
How to fix this?
I read online stating it was latest update of Google Now caused this. Solution is to rollback.
When i saw settings grayed out, i thought i successfully disable feeds.
Thus i went ahead to uninstall Google Now.
No Titanium Backup on this app.
Will it fix itself? When even my PlayStore has connection?
Or I should just proceed to restore nandroid backup?
=======================================================
All my Google app is not accessible in all my devices / mac / PC
=======================================================
What should i do?

Paralell Space Alternative

I've been using Paralell Space to clone apps and multiple accounts but there's a problem.
I need to use incognito install, because i don't want the installed apps to be visible on app drawer but Paralell Space incognito mode is not working(compatibility with android 7.x??).
Whenever i search an app, i get no results. If i instal via playstore, clone and then uninstall, apps get removed from Paralell Space too.
Anyone knows a similar app that have this requiriments:
- Incognito/Hidden install apps
- Use a password or fingerprint to access app, like Paralell Space
So far i've found a lot of similar apps, but always missing one of those requiriments. Or have incognito install and no security options, or have security options and no incognito install.

Restoring Facebook Messenger access through /data/data files

Hello,
A while ago my phone got bricked and I had to wipe it, however I've managed to extract all the files from /data/data. However a google authenticator got lost in the process and I cannot access some accounts, notably Facebook Messenger.
Is it possible, to restore access to it using the aforementioned files? So far I've found some suspicous strings in "shared_prefs" folder, such as "USER_ID" and "auth_token".
And no, just replacing all the files in a fresh messenger doesn't work, the app crashes instantly.
If restoring Facebook access is possible instead of messenger, it will do just fine.
Update: Solved!
After running a simple recursive grep by string "auth_token" I found a folder with the messenger auth data.
All you need to do is move "app_light_prefs" and "shared_prefs" from the old data to the messenger's fresh installation in /data/data/com.facebook.orca (Root needed)
From there you can access account settings and disable 2FA.
