Looked through the rooting guide and I have a question revolving around some testing I need to do. Please bear with me and I appreciate any assitance or advice.
Here is the issue:
When running both the Incredible and the Evo, Exchange 2007 will sync natively when encryption of the device is required. On other 2.1 devices, such as the Moto Droid, and the virtual devices, native sync will fail as it can't support encryption requirement. This is the same with 2.2 virtual devices.
Since the Evo or Incredilbe sync via ActiveSync and don't toss an error, I need to know if the mail database is actually being encrypted. I know that Android does not support full device encryption like the iphone or winmo devices.
I currenlty have a Sprint Evo for testing this. I want to keep the OS as close as stock as possible, so I can see what will happen with our users that purchase these.
1. If I root only, will I still have basically the stock image running, or does it load a custom ROM?
2. If it is replaced, can I put the stock ROM on the phone while still retaining root access.
3. I'll look around with a file explorer, but does anyone know offhand where the mail database are kept. This is the key as I need to know if this database is encrypted.
If anyone has other advice for me, I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.

You can root without a custom ROM.
EVO does support EAS policies.
I am not able to answer #3 at this time, I am sure I will find out while exploring the EAS components.

After following almost all rooting methods you should have a stock rooted ROM. After rooting you can flash a new stock rooted ROM anytime you want, the links are in the wiki that is stickied on the Android Dev thread. Also there is more info in the guide in my sig.
As far as encryption of mail files goes I have no idea, but would be interested to know this... Let us know if you find anything in your testing.
The phone I got for test had the OTA updates applied. Looks like no root for me now.
As soon as I find out anything, I'll post it around.

Unfortunately for anyone that applied the OTAs before rooting, they now have to wait for the un-fix. There is a thread devoted to this in android dev. I don't have a link cause I'm on my phone ATM, but it should be on page 1.

Right, saw that earlier when I was trying to figure out why the simple root didn't work.

Would link it, but guess I need a few more posts to prove I'm not a bot or spammer.

Hi! I've installed it in multirom with a stock 5.0.1 as primary and it works, just tried it for few minutes.
just be sure to have the latest bootolader (HHZ12h) or installation will fail.
Flashing a bootloader
Hi,
I have a Nexus 5 and I use Multirom with it. My default ROM is Lollipop 5.1.1 and a secondary ROM, which I mostly use, is Marshmallow 6.0 (xTraSmooth). I want to install CopperheadOS, but it says when installing, that I must have HHZ12h bootloader in order to install (as stated in a previous post). My current bootloader is HHZ11k. If I install HHZ12h bootloader by flashing a zip file which includes LMY48B_Radio+Bootloader-HHZ12h will it cause anything that prevents Lollipop or Marshmallow to work properly?

You don't need to downgrade the bootloader, just modify the updater script of the rom ( deleting the string containing the bootloader version or replacing with your current version), then it will install just fine.
Can anybody provide link on COPPERHEAD OS ? CHEERS!

Thanks! I haven't tried that yet, but I will. First I thought I can just replace HHZ12h with HHZ11k using text editor, but then I noticed there are guides which suggest that it isn't quite that easy. I might be wrong about that, will see when I have enough time to read up on the subject.

It's easy, just extract the rom, go to Meta-Inf/com/google/android and modify the "updater-script". That's all, rebuild the zip and flash in recovery.
Edit: you can do it without using a PC, by using a file manager on your device.

Just installed it on a Nexus 5x and it works flawless. It has most of the standard stuff but is different from the rest in that it is supposed to be security oriented. That means no default root (but rooting should be possible).
I didn't try to add Google stuff yet and probably won't even try to add that spyware but it does have the F-Droid app store.
There are some extra options to secure the memory if required, and the documentation is (so far) very good (for example the install guide and the technical overview).
Currently running it on my Nexus 5x and N5. works great. Anything you are missing you can find on F-Droid. I find the lack of data usage to be delightful; when facebook or ebaum videos auto load on other software, they are stopped on copperhead. very happy with the security.
The only thing i can not make work is voice to text, and I have a ticket in with copperhead. who cares, I have fast thumbs.
Nexus + Copperhead = Happy Gopher!

Thanks for the feedback. I guess manual apk installation is also possible?
I'm thinking about picking up a Nexus 5 as a backup device, and CopperheadOS seems like something fun to play with, instead of just installing CM13. Can I install TWRP as recovery on devices like the Nexus 5 that don't check for locked bootloaders? Can I run it as basically another ROM –*unlocked developer options, root, TWRP, etc.? I realize the OS exists for enhanced security, but I'd like to make a few tradeoffs.
Unfortunately, you can not run TWRP with copperhead, it wants full control of the phone for security reasons. Its not meant to be a developer OS with access to all the bits, so you kind of need to want a OS in a box that you can deal with.
But I have to say, despite its shortcomings of not having google services, it works pretty much flawless on my 5 and 5x. i miss google maps app, but it works 100% via chromium browser as a favorite, and I have only found 2 apps I can not import via apkmirror, one being Waze, the other is my local public transportation app. other than that, i feel like I'm safe from prying eyes.

Thanks for your response. I'm a fan of CyanogenMod, and I'm not unhappy their security or features, but I wanted to play around with CopperheadOS. I understand the tradeoff between security and convenience, but I'm not willing to sacrifice TWRP in the mix. Oh, well – if I ever have need of an OS solely for its security track record, I know where to go.
It doesn't look to me like Copperhead is supporting the Nexus 5 anymore. Can somebody confirm or is there a link I'm missing somewhere to the ROM?
EDIT: Yep, I knew it was deprecated for a while now but they've even removed the deprecated ROM from the site now. I'd appreciate it if anybody has the last ROM if they could pass it my way.

Switch debugging OFF and don't lock bootloader after CopperheadOS install and u will be able to boot TWRP via
fastboot boot recovery.img [TWRP]
I'm currently experimenting with root privileges on CopperheadOS on Nexus 5X. Still haven’t tried xposed framework.
Security features r quite good, especially different lock code && encryption password and memory protection, but, there is a lack of fine privacy control (Privacy Guard) as in CyanogenMod and firewall, hence the need for root.

I've been using CopperheadOS for a few weeks now on the Nexus5. Received the latests OTA a few days ago and applied without issue.
Installed it via TWRP. Have rooted the device with SuperSU, though have to re-root after re-flashing recovery after each OTA.
It's been working great.
Unfortunately I don't have the img any more
The one I flashed was https://builds.copperhead.co/builds/hammerhead-factory-2016.08.09.06.24.33.tar.xz

Hey folks. I've a pickle. Several of my friends and associates, all from different walks of life, here in OKC, Ok, are the victim of software exploitation...let me explain...
I'm a computer - I.T. guy.. have a history involving Unix and LInux Distro's and have avoided Android until recently.
Currently my devices have been hijacked. Running processes include:
Google Framekework
Wi-Fi Direct
Sim contacts
Launcher 3
QcrilMessageTunnelService
Ive a cheap pre-paid verizon Alcatel 5905s Due to my Premium Devices being hacked
It has
Android 8.1.0 I cant update
Kernal 3.18.71
3d5xufx1
Baseband 7Genns Pack1.201905.1.236923.1
My other devices will run 15 or more services within Googleplayservices.... The Apk versions of these packages like: GoogleplayServices, Android Auto, Facebook Manager (I dont use it btw), etc..all ridiculous permissions include root access and such....
My bluetooth, cameras, wi-fi - are all being turned on by the apps permissions and need help. Again I'm familiar with the Android System a bit - having a I.T. and Unix/Linux background I can come up to speed quickly....
Technology - especially opensource technology should never EVER be used like this. I have encountered a problem which effects a lot of good people. Regardless of their goodness badness or whatever - no one should ever use technology in this way....
My questions are:
Some of my friends and their devices have custom roms === How can I remove them? J3 x2 J7, A10. A11, Alcatel 5095s, LG 322DL and AQT 100 tablet to start....
Each of the above programs utilize Googleplayservices to have extremely stupid permissions and their corrosponding related aps....
Im even giving numbers for anyone to call: 4zerofive921sixfour49 Wade and 405eighthtreeefour30sevenzero chris
if you can help...please do....
Why not simply on hijacked devices re-flash their Stock ROM to get rid off of the installed Custom ROM?
Although Android is based on a modified Linux kernel, it has nothing in common with Linux: the Android Framework, which is based on Java APIs, is the interesting part.
And: Nobody is forced to make use of Google Play Services / Google Services Framework: Custom ROMs like LineageOS don't have them built-in.

Ok. Please let me in on this. It's intriguing. First I know little of Java but have started to begin learning development basics...so my questions are...
So I have an LG322dl....there seems to be no good info on ROMS my way...but then again these "apps' prevent me from looking at things that counter their functions....
I have ADB /Fastboot - and run Ubuntu 20.04. Theres a J7 that I tried to Flash but Heidall didnt work and dont know where else to turn... Theres also the Alcatel 5059s
I have 2 J3's the J7 an LG 322Dl and a Sam A11...i have read what is on here on each of the items. Basically I am told the LG no one can flash...(i dont believe it) the Alcatel is a headcache because I cant get any solid info...the A11 is now Google LOcked , and the Samsungs the original Flahing with Heidall doesnt do squat.....
Now all I understand are probably basics to you... If you got an issue you can flash your phone with the MF's Factory Build...but if your bootloader is locked, say - like on my A11 - I cant bypass for ****. I tried every which way 30 plus hours.... nothing... and it had my original fingerprint!
Also, the methods for each of my devices listed by users here and elsewhere just dont seem to work...
Can you please....explain to me the process to flash and or install a custom rom please?
thanks
Can't guide you: never have flashed a Custom ROM, because it never was necessary to do it.
I have a OnePlus 7 Pro running on OxygenOS 10. I want to use the Dialer app that comes with OxygenOS 11, but don't want to upgrade my complete OS to 11. I made a thread in the OP7P forums but no one has answered it yet.
I am rooted with Magisk, so I figured I could simply replace system priv-app apks (namely TeleService.apk, Dialer.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk, Telecom.apk) with the OOS 11 ones but it is not working. I am a noob when it comes to understanding permissions and sysconfig xml files, and any other technical files that also need to be edited/replaced along with the apk.
Can anyone tell me what is the standard procedure to do such a task?
Of course, a detailed answer is greatly welcomed, but even a push in the right direction would help me a lot.
Hello all,
I'm new here and a huge noob so please bare with me. I'm looking to hide the spoof location status on my phone, so that I am able to bypass certain apps that don't respond to GPS Spoofing.
I came across [MODULE] Smali Patcher 7.4, but it was not recommended to use it using Android 10.
Are there any other options out there for me? If so, what are they?
Also, I am assuming I would need to root my device first? I have a Huawei P10, running Android 10, build number 11.0.0.170.
If someone could point me in the right directions I will be thankful!

I will recommend just using any VPN on playstore.
But if you want to try the mock location found in developer options in phone settings you may use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locationchanger

With Android the ALLOW-MOCK-LOCATION flag is set in its settings database under
Code:
Settings.Secure.ALLOW_MOCK_LOCATION
Hence every app that has root access can read this entry.
