Any lock or password can be cracked pretty easily, unless, it's just some little kid you're trying to protect yourself from

It should say settings there, just set a password for it.

No, cannot sign my Google account, as this phone has registered to someone else account.

How?
First you need to sign in with original google account that registered with, so you can get to the menu to change any option.

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.
ROM Post link:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=816271
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.

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.

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...

Agile Lock Screen - CM7

Guys, saw someone else post this in the Development forum and thought I would post here. Basically the sense 3.0 Lockscreen but I cannot seem to get it to work. I'm guessing it's something within my settings but if one of you gets it working please let me know. Always nice to have options!

I like the ripple lock :-D
I have it working. Click on the app in your app drawer and then click start. Thats it! I think I may buy it that way I can adjust everything. For those who bought it, you can change the icons right?

thats strange...try uninstalling and reisntall it or you can try a restart of your phone. something goofy is acting up. I haven't seen too many complains like that in the reviews so I would try one of those things I mentioned.

Yah I tried that before too, I'm thinking it may have something to do with my cm lock screen settings that are conflicting with this. I'm using the lense.

Having the same issue with having to use the volume to unlock. Tried it on a fresh install of 1.3 with no luck. We've gotta figure this out, paid and free versions don't work.

Sounds great, I would love to get this to work and I'll continue to play with it.
Interestingly enough, when I disable the Status Bar in the Agile Lock settings everything works as it should. Of course this is only available in the paid version.
This work for anyone else?

Yeah, and right there is a link to download the programm.

But it's "useless" without LOGIN and PASSWORD.
You can buy an account for 100$.
It would have been better if we had made a fundraising for that.

yep, but maybe thats exaclty what the cracked program makes. (ignore user and password)
It looks like its a site for developers. But someone should contact LG to confirm if its a legit site before buying an account

I contacted the guy responsible for the B2B LGMobile Support Tool on the J.A.U. website. Lets see what he aswers...
bruteforce wont help, it will take years...tried bruteforcing with a 4 characters password, no sucess, so the password must be longer than 4 characters, and that makes bruteforcing almost impossible.
Did you contact him via twitter?

but how? i know that crack can bypass it for sure..
I think you have to pay him 100$ to get the password of the rar-file.
He won't do it for free.
@adverserath:
Do you know how?
I see this morning the archive has disappeared from repository...
I;ve found B2BAppSetup.exe elsewhere, and when Im trying to run it, it tells me something like - "Please run according to instructions - START/Program files/LGMobile Support Tool/B2B LGMobile update"...
Despite this message the program has been installed.
On my PC it can be found here:
C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX
If you run "B2BLGMLauncher.exe" you have to enter an ID and password.

I had my computer since yesterday in brute force, all possible combinations.
Generating +/- 550passwords/second, I give up... The process, after more than 24hours, was around 2%...
I have no pacience for that, sorry...
And if in the end we found the same program that needs the loggin ID and password???
Its very strange that we don't found any other on the web. I don't believe that being truth, no one share the file in other sites (forums/blogs).

Because to have the access to jau we need paid account, that's why.
Well, i'll bruteforce it on my old Core2Duo in the background when my computer is on maybe one day i'll get the password, LOL
I bypassed the password in the flash tool as it is badly made. it reports the password confirmation back in xml, I just edited the response using fiddler. wonder if the rar password is in Korean.

I dont think it will be helpfull. bruteforcing demands a lot of cpu & gpu power.
This b2bapp is available even on lg own site. But this one is cracked, with a cracked app inside the zip, so maybe it could bypass the login.
Im still waiting for an answer from the admin, but, it could never be anwered aswell.
