[Completed] Is there any security issue after installing costom ROM? - XDA Assist

Hi there
I want to flash custom ROM on my YU yuphoria(YU5010)
But i fear is there are any security issues. For example i
Will use banking application , social networking sites, is there any threat like somebody coded the rom so that he came to know about my banking paswords and other safety information?
Please suggest a safe and working miui rom for my device

Hello and welcome to XDA-developers!
Here on XDA we have tons of excellent developers making custom ROMs and you have tons of members testing their ROMs so, if some ROM with security issues appear I believe It is soon detected and reported to Admin Team and deleted

[Q] custom rom user

hi i use custom roms on my s4 i9505, i told my friend and he said i was stupid because people can attach harmful code to any rom or program.
that can give a crook access to your pc or phone. he played me a couple of videos showing this because he has been hit on his self using third party apps, and antivirus programs do not see this code..
Can anyone elaborate on this and prove this is not true about custom roms.
Many thanks

custom roms on this site are required to be open source. that means the developer must post the source code to his work or it can not be posted here. for this reason it is highly unlikely you will find any nefarious code in any of the roms posted here. as for roms posted on other sites, i cant speak for their policies.
apps are always subject to malware, thats why you should only download them from a trusted source like the play store or this site.

Custom ROMs - Device Security

Hi Guys,
I am new to Android (a noob) - Started with flashing some custom ROMs on my devices and i am bothered by the security of my device, although android is open source, is it possible that a custom ROM is bugged to steal your personal or financial information? I don't have any experience with android development and i don't have time to jump into Android development so even if the ROM is open source i wont be going through the code to check for leaks or potential built-in hacks.
Basically my question is, is it safe to install Unofficial ROMs such as CM unofficial? I understand, the majority of apps store sensitive data on device in encrypted way but still, i don't think it will be hard to just modify the ROM to develop a built-in key-logger OR read username/password from a username/password fields while user is typing using an on-screen keyboard, save it as LOG file and when connected to the internet, send it to the 'unknown' source. I can see so many possibilities, the user wont even have a clue that they are sharing data. it is like Microsoft making windows Open Source and people making their own versions of Windows and users installing them on thier PCs.
Please help me understand - How safe are our devices when running on custom ROMs from developers we don't even know (no disrespect to any dev, all this amazing work is appriciated, I just want to understand the security of android - Please help me understand as after flashing custom ROMs on my devices i am avoiding installation of sensitive apps or even using chrome to type my passwords) - am i paranoid ?
Cheers
It's entirely possible that a malicious custom ROM could steal your data (or worse), and there's really no technical way to mitigate it. You're implicitly trusting the developer of a ROM by flashing it. All you can really do is make sure that whatever ROM you choose is from a well-known, trusted developer.

You are paranoid but that's good!
Yes we are trusting the devs (or Samsung et al with stock) AND hopefully smart coders who regularly check the code (but I suspect checking doesn't happen a lot!). You can use a firewall/packet sniffer to check what servers your phone is connecting to and see (some) of the data being sent to reduce your risk and put your mind at ease. But still it's no guarantee, as I understand it (I'm no expert!).

If you get a stock android you are also trusting the developer. Just look at these lenovo laptops which had malware served on their stock windows versions. Best is to always start clean when buying any form of product.

That's true, but how do you define ”clean”? In theory, you could build AOSP for your device yourself so you're only trusting Google, but that's completely impractical for most people. If you just switch from stock to someone else's custom ROM, you're just changing who you're trusting.

Perhaps it's a silly question but I do it: do you think that a XDA Senior Member with one or two thousand of thanks is reliable?

Another question for you: if a ROM has malicious code that send personal information to unknown servers, is using a firewall like AFWall+ twhich blocks all system apps sufficient to prevent this malicious ROM to stole data?
Thanks

No, a custom ROM could make data look like it's coming from any app it wants, or just bypass the firewall completely.

Alternatively if the device is on your own network you could wireshark it using a computer and monitor IP addresses that the device attempts to connect to.

This is helpful but not perfect. There's a bunch of ways to stealthily exfiltrate data over a monitored network, and don't forget a malicious ROM might only do its dirty work over cell and not Wi-Fi for this very reason.

I agree with you it's not a perfect solution; this question is sort of like asking if you can trust someone who has a root account to your computer when you cannot see what they are doing, it's an incredibly disadvantaged situation from the start.

Remember, everything I've been saying is reasons not to flash a ROM unless you trust the dev. None of it is saying that devs aren't trustworthy. I don't know of a single instance when a well-respected XDA member's ROM turned out to be malicious.

Thank you for clarifying that but the question comes once more: how to recognize a well-respected XDA member? With the number of thanks? It is obvious that if the smartphone you are interested in is not so famous, there will be few comments on custom ROMs, too. So, how to evaluate the reliability of a xda dev who is developing ROM for not-well-known devices?
Are ROMs in Original development Section trustworthy?

Number of thanks can hardly tell that a dev is reliable or not(in some cases it can), rather it's the quality of their work and their expertise on the related topics that could clarify their position a bit. the recognized contributors, recognized developers, recognized themers you should look at cause
these are given to a member after being checked and passed by moderaters here on XDA. So they are pretty much reliable guys. in cases where there are no recognized developers and hardly any comments. you will have to check and find out yourself
1. ask the dev if he has tested the ROM himself?
2. how did he compiled the ROM? is it a port or just a modified copy of another ROM or a build from source.
3. check the link of the download, if it's to some survey site or ask for a password, stay away from it.
4. if you trust the download link, then download scan with antivirus and unzip the file.
5. generally I look inside app if there are apps which I don't trust and I remove them, then check build.prop, init.d folders. basic things to look for is any references of some other website/ports in between codes. if you're more paranoid you can check bin folder as well and every other you want.
6.don't install the ROM simply Root and debloat.

That's because lollipop and marshmallow ROM files are further zipped into system.new.dat files which needs another method to extract, https:\\forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/extract-dat-marshmallow-lollipop-easily-t3334117
Just a small correction. When going to aosp you I ly are trusting yourself as you can inspect everything you add and remove what you don't.
Now to add to your paranoia. A custom rom could be made that allows all apps root permission without the users knowing. Add in a Key logger and have e it all headed without you ever knowing. This is common is xiaomi and other china based devices.
Heck there are a few key parts in the playstore with built in Key loggers.
Heck most of the go apps send all their data to China. Things like their Keylogger files, screen recording and device usage. But mind you it is all legal

ROM Porting

Hello, Everyone !
I'm not a skilled ROM developer, but with the very little knowledge I have about porting ROMS, a ROM can be ported from a device with the same specs as the device with the base ROM. So in my case, I'm trying to port the CM13 ROM For my device, which is Micromax Canvas Evok. But, one sad thing is that I have failed to find a dedicated thread for this device, which is pretty upsetting...So, since I have not found a thread for this device, I decided to port the ROM because I'm a total noon in developing a ROM from it's​ source which is very difficult, especially in the part where I'm supposed to download the source code, which maybe around 30-40 GB as my data plans don't allow me to do it....So is there any way by which a CM13 ROM can be ported by keeping stock ROM as a base, as nobody has developed a custom ROM for this device yet...Any help would be appreciated, Thank you in advance !
Cheers, Sid

don't use Jenkins if you haven't built a ROM yet. All Jenkin does is automates your builds. which is used for nightlies. So in order to use that website you would have to set up everything anyways. if you don't have a credit card for Google Cloud service then you should use Microsoft Azure.
But remember if you want to build a ROM, you're gonna have to have a build tree for your device. That's the first important step, before downloading the source codes.
Can you explain it to me if it's not a trouble, or provide a link to it ?

Do these ROMs have the slight but constant micro-stuttering that the stock ROM has?
I guess all these ROMs are loaded with Google's stuff?
With the exception of Play Store I'd like to be free of the Google fleet of useless apps.
It's great that you've been able to port these ROMs. I hope a lot of people use them. I just have different needs! Tx.

Yes, all of them. You can "freeze" or delete unwanted Google apps. Do it manually or try to find scripts which can do this automatically.
Hi, I was thinking to buy this tablet.
Can these ROMs fix the issue of too high brightness even at the lowest level?
If not can you recommend a free application to solve the problem?

To solved this brightness issue I use the sFilter app or any other blue light filter app.
But to tell the truth, I wouldn't recommend to buy any Teclast tablet. I have a problem where he doesn't accept the installation of Instagram or Facebook app. I saw that many people have the same problem.
Anyone else with this problem or know how to solve?

I added solution, check it and let me know if it works for u
It's possible to change brightness limits manually by editing firmware files, If there's a big problem for u and other users I can change its' range sometime. Just let me know what firmware u are using.
Hello dev!
Are you still working on this device firmware? I bought it this month and not even on official site could find updates for, so I don't know if there is any firmware that I should update before using these that you made...
I'm using Pixel Experience and found it great. But I had problems with the initial setup, which always had trouble trying to recover the configuration of another device. When I checked to set up as a new device it work fine.
I could not open Magisk too, but i wanted to disable it and remove, but always shows error when trying. I'll try MIUI in sequence to see if I can.
Another question: The modified Stock has gapps included? (and can I remove root?)
Thank you so much for your work, I was happy to know that have other firmware for this tablet.

I used the modified rom too and liked a lot, but I couldn't install some apps through the playstore and had problems to remove root (Magisk). So I installed ASUS ROM and it is very stable and everything is working great. I'll leave it and see what happens!
Thanks!

Hello!
1) There is no more firmwares to port for our device. Also I don't know much about modding firmwares, so Pixel was my first successful experiment.
2) Latest official firmware for our device is TOS v2.1 which can be found in appropriative thread here. Seems no more updates will be released for our device.
3) Restoring function is bad idea esp on custom ROM. You should always make clean installation.
4) Custom ROMs can only boot with root access (e.g. Magisk). You cant uninstall it. In other case your device wont boot (Android 7.0 classical issue). P.S Magisk is not like "classic" root, so you can "hide" it for apps that don't work on rooted device.
5) Of course stock ROM includes Gapps. All made changes are listed in topic. Root can'f be removed on any custom ROM (see p.4).

Thank you!
I gave the tablet to my son, the Stock ROM that came on it is'nt good and so I put the ASUS ZenUI ROM. (After testing all others)

Well ... I have founded a new ROM for this mobile. Based on MIUI 10.2.1
It is posted on russian forum: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=895159&st=4140#entry90240414
You must update the firmware using TWRP. Remenber to do format and wipes on TWRP before install it.
I have test it on my x650 and it is great. Enviroment is nice and very fast, so it has 1 fault: no NFC control.
Languaje contains english, korean, chinese ... etc , but not spanish.
Good luck.

Why are u so butthurt? I only asked you if the fingerprint scanner works because I use it everyday and i also asked you to create a new thread so that everyone can see your work and eventually 'share their experiences'. You don't have to see it the wrong way

If you see the test pictures of the ROM on the russian web, you can see finger recognition working.
I am in the right way: You only must to see information in links has been gave, but is less work to ask people than read or see information which has been exposed. Actually people is too much lazy ....
Hi, anyone proven it on x657 model?
Still nothing...? Any modified original rom.i want yo get rid of Chinese apps....my phone installs apps with automatic pilot!!! It is too boring...

hmmm.. but how we can download it?
I have not been able to download it since the web does not load me
You will have to donate first(I guess), which I cant seem to find where or how to donate. If you find a download link, please share.
