Tayutama's JPM Froyo w/Xcaliburinhand's Re-oriented Kernel: possible security concern

Tayutama's JPM Froyo w/Xcaliburinhand's Re-oriented Kernel - 11/04/2010 -- possible security concern
Installed the above ROM.

Working good on my Captivate.
One concern: How do I take off the "minus" marks on the app icons that lets us delete apps right from the home screen (the screen we get when we click on the home button).
I see this as a security risk. I have app protector pro. But then, we can just delete the app protector pro in this mode without even asking for any password or anything, and all my apps are open for everyone to use.
Could anyone please help me take off this option to quick uninstall apps from home screen.

This thread is a joke, right?

wow just great now this post with almost the exact same title as the rom post will get me confused which is which from now on

Nope. I am serious. So far I realized that unless a person knew how to mod a Captivate, he didn't know how to access protected apps. But now, even a layman can just delete the 'app protector pro' and access all the apps that are supposed to locked by it.

I think you haven't noticed that i added "possible security concern" beside it in the title itself.

What the French...........toast! ? I'm with Mikeymike. April fools? Nope too early.

You do know that once you rooted your phone, anyone with a little knowledge can do much more than simply delete apps... just don't lose your phone or give it to an iphone buddy who might wonder what the neat little thingys on your screen do
Bye. What launched are you using that you see this in.... and deleting an icon from your home screen does not uninstall it on any that I have used

Not the icon. Like when u press the home icon, u can see all the apps present on ur device. For user installed apps, u can see a small "minus" in a circle on the right top of app icon, just like in iphone when u go to edit mode. click on that, and it will uninstall the app.

Pardon me if my concern is not really one. I am just expressing myself.

I use Application Protection from the market. Upon uninstalling any app it always asks for the pin. There is no removing the program without it.

Right, this is as long as the app is there. I am telling about a situation where the protection app itself is removed. I could remove it without it asking me for the pin.

Another possible solution is to install another launcher that dosen't have uninstall in the application tray or doesn't work at this time (my LG Optimus below) and use root explorer to remove the two launcher and reboot.

Sounds logical. But I am on Cognition 2.4.1 ROM now

Why not just have a lockscreen?
You do realize that if someone gets ahold of your phone everything can be taken out by someone who is skilled enough... right?

Others have already pointed this out, but what you need to do is dl and install a different launcher from Market and then uninstall the TWLauncher. Problem solved.
Just because TWLauncher is the default in Cog 2.4.1 doesn't mean that you have to use it. Get another launcher. Or you could try never letting your phone out of your sight...

[Q] New Android Marketplace?

So I got my NS today to replace my N1 and I thought it would have the new marketplace on it. It looks to be the same one as before. Any idea on how to update it?

You could try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869245
I don't have a NS so I wouldn't know if it works or not but it works on my Vibrant + other devices on 2.2.

I was wondering the same thing but i'm not in a hurry to get it updated. Im going to wait for it to be pushed to mine. Does the new 15 minute refund window apply only to the new market?

I tried to update today but it came in all un even around the categories tabs. So I'm just gonna wait. I mean its not like I'm dying to have the update.

for those with the Nexus S & the old Market app, does your 3rd tab on the home page show "T-Mobile" rather than "Downloads"?

Mine does. I really don't like it. Downloads button was rather useful. 2 clicks and you could see if you had any apps that needed updating. Now you have to press menu to access your downloads. I know, I know, it takes one second to do that. It's just rather annoying.

There is a download app in app drawer thats says downloads now so maybe thats why

Thats for downloads from the browser. Not the market.

Oh my bad.
You can always hit the menu key and then downloads

My Epic's just updated, so yours may soon as well

Fyi I think Android can tell your network operator now. I was setting up my NS over wifi and had my sim in my g2 for calls. At that time the NS said downloads on the right tab. After I finished and put my sim into the NS the market started displaying T-Mobile on the right tab. It makes me think that the G2 did have a vanilla android on it...well sort of. Lol

It only just updated on my phone.
Say, why can't I see all my apps that I've downloaded when I hit "My Apps" now? I only see the paid ones, it seems.

Same problem here, but it shows the missing apps as "installed " when I search for them like xda. I uninstalled the update and had it pushed again and I saw my apps listed but then it went away after an hour. My brothers nexus s doesn't so that. I wonder what's causing it, but not a big deal for me.

Yeah I'm not sure what's going on... kinda of frustrating not being able to see whether my other apps have updates or not.

I agree, its a documented problem, I'm sure they'll push a fix
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

my list of apps in the market has been randomly missing a lot of apps for at least a year. "Clear data" restores all the installed apps, but after a while some go missing again. I'm quite surprised that it still happens with the new market.
No new market here, though... still 2.3.6

If you have problems with missing apps try to delete the data in the apps settings. Opening the market again will result in again an acceptation of the terms and your apps will be there again...

I still haven't gotten my market update yet, although I am in Canada.

I wish I had the old market. The new one is sluggish and has a lot of "features" I don't need.

i agree... new market is bloated and sluggish... i liked the functionality of the older market (i can browse a LONG list of top free apps)

So, just flash the old market!!! Its much better than the new one

android market 3.1.3

enjoy
http://www.mediafire.com/?dbbwcoajt8qweo5
changelog:
Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
there’s a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There’s also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have – and really, it makes a lot of sense.
Root access is not required, but you’ll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.

will the market be updated to this anyways? does it show all apps or not?

Eh I don't know don't feel so sure about This.

After screwing around with the new apk for 15 mins, it seems the missing apps problem may be fixed. I am currently holding my breath though...
Edit - immediately after making this post the problem returned. I can stop holding my breath now.

just installed. Seems ok.

How do I install? -1.bin , right?

lol you guys think i would really post a virus or something. i found it. if you dont believe its true google android market 3.1.3. and yes the missing apps thing is there still. i use titanium backup. market doctor feature to fix that tho

For some reason this market is showing all apps for me that I've installed from Amazon store as if they need updating. When I yet updating them, it fails but still shows as if needing to be updated. That's annoying.

yea no kidding. if you have titanium backup you can detach those apps from the market so they wont show updating. those are apps from the amazon app store i think, love the +1 feature

What is a +1 feature? Can't figure it out..
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

Moved to apps..........

+1 is a new google plus feature. if you go into the market and look at an app it will have the option to +1 it which is equivalent to liking a status on facebook. you can +1 websites and links. and all the links you've +1's can be viewed on your google plus

Market updates
Any ideas as to why the android market is not retrievable from the android market...other than the recursive need for the market in the first place

Loving the pin security, thanks for this.

I have no idea how to install this

I used to have this app, but now when I go to the market, the app is there, but the download link isn't. I noticed this with a few other Apps to... Anyone know why this happens? with the other app, I found the latest apk file and installed from there and this fixed the market link.
If it helps, i'm on pinnacle 1.2.
In the meantime, Anyone have the apk for the new mango?

Not really sure if this will help you or not but I searched for it and it popped right up I'm on fasty II and I'm running the new market I know some time depending on what market your running at&t filters out filters out some stuff not sure if it helped but there some info. Hope you get it figured out.

Thanks for checking your market. I'm wondering if it may be because i'm in Canada and maybe there are some restrictions because of that.
Just to clarify my first post, I do find these apps in the market, but most of them do not have download buttons. If I find the corresponding apk and install from there though, then next time I look in the market, the update /uninstall buttons are there.
Once again, thanks for your help. I'll try another rom and see if it's different
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I found the problem! I had changed my screen dpi, which seems to have caused some of the download buttons to disappear on the market. Just restated with native resolution and that solved the problem.
I hope that this can help people on the future.
And thanks to the dude that checked their market fir me. I'll thank you when I get to a computer
