Hy,
I'm pretty new here, I hope I found the right forum for my question.
Since 2 weeks, I own a Galaxy S9 and I was thinking about the fingerprint sensor.
Is it for any institution possible to get my fingerprint off my phone, or is it maybe uploading somewhere, right when it gets read in?
Like a hidden script somewhere or backdoors, so when for example the police (add any institution you want here) wants to check you, they open a program, type in your name and wush, there you go, he used the fingerprint sensor on his phone, ez.
Or is the print stored on a point, the phone software can't even access normally to? If this is even possible.
Maybe stupid question, I just want to know from some professional who knows like everything from the android code, lines or how it's called.
Thx in advance! :cyclops:

Sorry to apparently flout the warning about poking my noobish nose in to post about something non-ROM related, but since this is a development and hacking section, I figure I must be in the right place.
I've been googling and futzing around with build.prop to no avail, so I figure I should ask someone with a clue before I go and kill my install or even brick my phone, I dunno.
Is there any sort of hack on this file that tells Play what CPU/GPU/etc you have but also says, I'll be the judge of what's compatible, thanks?
Or is there some other method?
Maybe some folks have started a Play mirror on the sly...? Surely I'm one of millions who are cheesed off about not having any way around this silliness.
Two possibilities, right?
Either there's an answer, or this is an issue which deserves the attention of folks with the talent to address it.
Anyone care to give me a clue which it is?
Well, here's a workaround of sorts: try to find what you're after at mobile.brothersoft.com, where the site simply asks you what your phone is, and lets you save it wherever.
If you want to try another model, don't bother choosing a different one via the site's controls, because the initial drop-downs you identified your phone with are no longer available (instead you have to choose from pages and pages of poorly-identified entries, half of which are missing pics). Just delete your cookies for that site and choose again.
Play told me Google Goggles wouldn't work for some reason; I told the Brothersoft site my Galaxy Mini was a Pop 1559 (pretty similar as far as I can tell), downloaded the app, and bingo.
Now to have a look for all that other stuff Google told me wouldn't work...
...Actually, there's no need to tell the Brothersoft site any lies; it doesn't enforce Google's 'incompatibility' call, or even tell you about it.
Why did it take me so long to come across that joint after searching high and low for a fix? I tried enough angles... seems both obvious and obscure at the same time.
I have several outdated android smartphones laying around and would like to re-purpose one for an 8 year old.
The thing is, I cannot trust him not to install tons of adware and games on it and play it during school hours which will just cause trouble for everybody. What I'm thinking:
I need the ability to remotely enable/disable lock/unlock the phone and/or turn the phone on or off and/or time periods during which device is automatically locked or unlocked.
I need either a locked down modified cyanogen ROM (or equivalent) or I need to somehow setup everything from scratch.
GPS tracking (realtime constant monitoring isn't necessary but I'd like to be able to ping his location if I'm worried about him and maybe have some sort of perimeter alert system in case he strays into a dangerous neighborhood/gets kidnapped/whatever)
I also need to lockdown which contacts can be called/SMSed/telegramed/IMed/emailed
This kid is sharp, so if there is a way to circumvent these measures, he'll probably figure it out. But I'd like you're ideas and I'll try anyway. How would you go about this? If you're going to tell me I'm a horrible person for tracking my child, I know already.
wow your asking for alot OP. lol eaither this is a really dangours kid, or your extremely protective lol
eaither way il try and help as best as i can. for tracking you can use "wheres my android" app. its gps tracking after you text it a certain phrase, it gives the location to the phone you texted.
you can try cnmod and just install wa app passwors to lock the settings, so the kid wont change anything
Thanks for the reply. He isn't dangerous, he is more of the absent minded genius type. I'm more afraid a stranger will say "lets go to my place to build model rockets" and he won't be able to resist.
What do you mean "wa app passwords"?
You sort of addressed the tracking and locking down apps. Any ideas for contact control so he doesn't just use up all of the minutes calling buddies and 900 numbers?
Hello, what phone are you going to give your child?? What I'm thinking is putting custom rom on the device and use the multi user option if the rom supports it. Then maybe, (maybe) you'll be able to omit which things can see/use and disable some of the things you're asking for.
Good luck.

We use MMGuardian Does everything you want and more and it's pretty cheap. I just assume you know a thing or two about Android so I'll tell you this, mmguardian is amazing, the only thing is you have to turn off persistent notifications for the app. I get why they don't have that built in, but just do that and hide that app and your as good as gold. You can add 'key words' that when come up in a text, IM, email or search, it will send you and alert on your phone. You get transcripts of their texts, im and email (which I was happy for, now I just find creepy and intrusive to my childs privacy) but it's pretty sold service OP
Full disclosure: I dont normally do forums so sorry if I do this wrong.
I purchased a Bluetooth Purification Mask named Atmoblue.
It originated in China. Ive had it for a few months now and it has bluetooth and there is an app for it but it looks like its taking forever for it to be moved over to English.
My question is how hard would it be for a person (or me, with no experience at all) to pull the basic functions out of the app?
For example I want to bypass the wechat login (cause, no) and basically get the pairing function up and running along with the fan speed and some of the auto features in the app and create a basic app til they release the full thing.
If any of you also want to try I can send you the link to the apk. Or if you would do it and require payment at completion how much would that cost?
In case you need to see the device just google Atmoblue.
Thanks again everyone.

There is pretty much a 99.9% chance that you won't find anyone to do this for you. The best you can hope for is someone might give you some links to guides showing how to decompile and edit apk files. What you would modify in the apk file to achieve your purposes would require you doing your own research to figure it out. You can ask further questions along the way about the things that you don't understand, but there are no guarantees that you will get any useful answers.
In other words, be prepared to dig in and do the work yourself, if you really want to accomplish this feat. If not, get used to dealing with the app the way it is.

Yea, i started researching the day I posted this. I've been reading and reading and reading. Ive gotten to the point where I now have access to the battery percentage. Currently, trying to figure out the characteristics in the device itself and the values needed to change each of the modes. Also, it looks like the app from the company is pretty much useless to try to use. Based on the code (from what I can understand after 2 days of research and starting off with 0 coding knowledge) the app has to use wechat to basically be able to access a server and then the server sends it back to the phone then the device. Meaning I can't just look in the code for what values I need, unless I was able to actually sign into wechat and record the log. Which I can't do since I don't have access to wechat.
So now I'm currently looking up how to write code in the programs I've found to write it and create a ui. Ive at least figured out uuids and figured out how to call up the battery percentage now. Only like 3 more settings to go! Wish me luck lol
don't even know where to begin to explain the world I live in and this is the best place I can think of or somebody could possibly answer what the hell is happening.. no I will try to keep this summarized and not going to too much detail other than with the technical aspect.. so my girlfriend was going into my phone and I'm sure she was trying to get into everything possible like my Google account Instagram lineapp what'sapp snapchatocrosoft account amazon.account VK, everything... Now I'm sure somewhere along that she synced her phone because obviously a bunch of my files now ended up on her phone making her think that I somehow installed some virus to her phone which now in her mind she feels like if the phone's messing up or if the router is Messing up which my assumption is she was in the router messing around with settings and now she doesn't have internet when she goes to solve this problem she goes out and uses Wi-Fi elsewhere and now when she went back to the house she couldn't go to the Internet service provider website to be able to mess with the settings on the blue curve router from Shaw because her phone was saying she was in the states we live in canada. She's under the impression I've gone to some third party app site that allowed me to get some firmware that her words has mirrored her storage and it was my way of blocking her ability to see twitch and discord because I was obviously hiding that because I was talking I assume with other women on it ...
Alot of the issue started with the fact that I used to play a game called magic Rush and I had shared my account or given it let's say a player that continued on with it.. obviously giving the Google account because it was binded is the email to the account, caused a s*** storm of problems.. password manager was all synced across his device anything he downloaded in his Play store showed up in my history just making it look like I just deleted it.. she feels like I'm hiding files on my computer or my phone because of some of the apps he had downloaded the other guy in Guatemala that I had shared the account with he had a calculator app that was a vault for hiding files like pictures.. she's literally accused me of everything under the sun thought somehow Steam my Steam account was being used to talk to other girls or somehow I was hiding files because she would take a random file from Steam in one of the folders and when she tried to open it with when we are it would just show up like random numeric code complete gibberish and this is why I must have been hiding files I must have been encoding them because I had things like notepad++ and irfanview, she's told me that I've cloned her SIM card and I have a VPN in the states so I can use things like Vox talk or w.e phone app that's just for the states.. I'm on an s10 plus and she's on an s10 so now that we kind of got the Guatemala guy off the account there is still weird s*** going on she went into developer tools on Google Chrome and it looked at the source code when you're looking at the Google activity when you're logged into the account and it had lots of words like null and hidden and she was swearing up and down thinking that this was proof that I was being shady..
Does anyone have any idea what could have possibly moved my files onto her account whether that be through her signing into my Google s*** but I mean yeah she feels like my phone's infected her phone or my computer has infected hers and I think it was just her and experience self somehow enabling it to like share all files I don't know I can't tell you everything she's possibly gotten into but she's clicked on everything a woman could click on oh and side note if you reach this far and you read all this thank you for taking the time because this is a serious issue in my life right now this was also in the beginner or new help thread I will also attach pictures the cheese sent me over the last month or so showing that I was being shady and did some s*** to her phone that I had rooted it or mirrored her storage

Lol! Seems like you are really under some big trouble...
By the way, did you check if partner sharing in on? And did you add her as a family member to your google account and granted permissions for her account to access yours? Check these first. Google them if you don't know how to...
And maybe prove her that her phone isn't rooted and show her that even Knox in her S10 isn't tripped concluding that you didn't do anything and maybe proving her they might have happened by mistake.

Hmmm. Maybe try proving your innocence by the way I said..
She reads root and thinks ta da, it must be rooted... I explained all that does is allow people to like tweak their phones better sort of like jailbreaking but there's no convincing her of that

Try proving in a way like using a root checker.
Get some one else's device and show the same root certificates...
This may help.
And did you show her that her KNOX is still intact and it did not trip.? If no, first do it... that way, you could prove that nothing just happened to her device and its still secure and not rooted.
Then maybe you could give her other explanations...
She's going to spin it like this, that I'm somehow rooting her messages like sending them off she also feels a cloned SIM card and thinks I'm just a f****** monster like I'm literally a cat playing with a mouse and torturing the person by watching them squirm with their phone and to be honest I've lost all effort and trying to defend it trying to figure out why when you take a file from Steam and go to unzip it with one RAR it shoots out weird numerical wingding.fonts I explained The Root checker thing to her and she didn't even want to check it meaning that she just doesn't know the right words to explain it to me when she says I may actually get her to come on this thread and f****** explain everything that's happening to her s*** because yeah man it's it's a serious problem

Ohh MMAAANNN, this is too much..
Is she still mad at you? first try calming her down. Get another device from your friend or someone else if possible and show her that every Android has such things. If she still doesn't believe, ask her to get on XDA and try a conversation with the XDA senior/staff members about all her doubts...
Try your best.
Know something? These XDA guys are really awesome. They help a lot if required.

First relax, tell her that you will ignore this all first get past it. Later, when every you are free and happy with something, you could explain her everything slowly.... Don't you think this will work out?
I've been searching high and low, up and down for the right place to post, the right forums to ask this, and I've been finding it very hard, I'm hoping I've done enough looking here, reading, that this post is okay, but here I go.
So the rundown of my situation is I downloaded this super basic & simple app called Safe Notes, where basically as the title implies, I got locked out of a note. I can't remember for the life of me the password no matter HOW many countless combinations I post. I've tried contacting the developer, but I haven't seen a response yet and its been months. This note I got locked out of was super important, and you could probably ask "why not just use Built-in note apps?" because then I can't make a password for each note. Normally, I make something easy for me to remember and put it in my Password vault.
For some reason, I've managed to forgotten to do that, and by the time I remembered, I had ALREADY forgotten the password. Is it possible, if I decompile the app(which tbh I dunno if its even legal), that I might be able to extract and find where that data is stored? Or perhaps someone here can help me find contact details of the developer, or perhaps....bruteforce the password, which I know is a thing to say that can either be a taboo or not.
I just can't lose this note, because I'm an idiot who decided not to be smart and instantly save the password it was made. This app is SUPER basic, and I assume it uses extremely basic encryption, meaning it should be possible to either decrypt it, or bruteforce the password, if I knew how. Or if I am in the wrong place, and it is possible someone can redirect me to the right area. I'm in severe need of help.
Sorry if I was in the completely wrong place to ask this form of question, I'll just take my leave if that's the case.
