Hi everyone
Yesterday rooted my phone using the one click root program on Mac.
Rooting and later on installing Titanium Backup and ROM manager went smoothly. Made backups as well.
However this morning I noticed something peculiar.
Clicking my phone from standby, I saw the browser opened with a site I don't know and not visited before and a pop up if I want to continu with loading the digital/SSL certificate. In the afternoon for a second time again, but this time a known site.
Checked google if such a malware exist on Android. And whether it is possible to set a root password in android. But both questions were not answered positively yet.
Have any one of you seen such a behaviour before?
did you install any illegal software in the phone?
as in those full copies of software not from Android Market?
not that I am aware of.
Most of them were from Android Market.
it is very suspicious that issue popped up after rooting.
I removed all apps that got default root access.
Will report again if issue reappears.
most people visiting this forum have their SGS rooted, and i've not read about this sort of weird issues until now.
myself included.
it'll be good to find out what is causing you to have those random pop ups of websites.
did you install VNC server or something similar by any chance?
That Security warning seems to be Browser bugs.. It pop up on my Nexus one after official Android 2-1 update1 and Android 2.2(Froyo ) update.(OTA).
=> All update are done with files from Google server direct.
Likewise the same happened after updating Galaxy S with the new FW..
Along the way, during update, the digital signature get messed..??
So, I've rooted my HD 8.9 and installed the Google Apps I'm interested in running i.e. Play store, gallery, voice search etc. I installed the framework and such in the system/app folder. I also replaced the calendarprovider.apk with the Google version, it will allow for my shared calendars in my Google account to sync propery in the native Kindle calendar app, mostly cause I hate the low res icons in the Google Apps (I've not been able to swap the Google Calendar icon and get the app to install). Anyway, today I attempted to install super box pro and accuwether from the Amazon app store and they failed. They will download, but once they start installation they fail and show a red exclamation point on the app icon. I've been able to install other apps, allrecipes, Documents to go, the dark Knight rises and a couple others. Any thoughts?
One thing, after installing the Google apps and necessary files, I unrooted and did a factory reset. I don't need a rundown of the reasons to leave it rooted. I'm content without having root. Plus, after rooting I loose my Amazon books. No point in having g the kindle if I can't use it for its original, intended purpose.
Thanks, in advance, for any productive suggestions.
Happy New Year,
Ray

One quick addition bit of info. The popup that I get says that "application storage space is running low". Does this make sense?

After rooting, did you re-register you KFHD 8.9 with Amazon? Or after un-rooting, for that matter. If I remember correctly, I had to re-register with Amazon after rooting to sync with Amazon services.
Sure did. After posting I decided to factory reset again and, for the time being, I'm having no problems getting apps. I haven't installed any of my molded apps with 256 icons though. That shouldn't make a difference but seems the only variable I can think of.

If you are asking questions, and have no development work to post, then the issue belongs in Q & A, and not development.
No Problem, as I'll move the thread.

Thank you. It seemed to me, without a specific place for 8.9 questions the 8.9 development section was the most logical place to post. No biggie just seems that a place for 8.9 questions and such would be handy. I understand the two devices are similar but they do have differences from a root and development standpoint.
Thanks

On that note -can we get a Q&A Thread for the KFHD 8.9" ? It gets rather confusing have 4 different devices all in the KFHD 7" Q&A Thread.

Have you updated to 8.3.1 yet? I just did so and the CalendarProvider.apk I was using previously no longer works.
Like you, I discovered I had to replace that file in order for the Kindle to save my synced calendar settings, otherwise they'd be lost once Calendar was removed from memory by the Android OS. The CalendarProvider.apk I was successfully using under 8.3.0 came from ICS AOKP ROM and it was one of the few I found that worked properly. But now, it's not. Instead, Calendar Storage isn't showing up in the list of Installed Applications and my Google Sync Settings shows "Sync com.android.calendar" instead of just "Sync Calendar" under Google Sync Settings, and throws an error when trying to sync.
For now, I've reverted back to the system default CalendarProvider until I can find another that works. I'm fairly certain I've done everything I did the last time, and am even running the same version of all the Google Apps I was using previously. So I can't figure out why it's not working like it used to.
Are you in the same boat? Or have you not upgraded yet?

I actually have not run 8.3.1 at all. I ran 8.3.0 for about an hour just to make a backup. I've been running the sg17 CM ROM for a month or more now. I've lrarned to live without Amazon Instant Video for the time being. I've been quite pleased with CM on the kindle. In fact, with the latest Kindle app update, the book part of the tablet is virtually identical to the Amazon ROM app. Wish I could be more help to you.

I just installed CM 10.1 onto my Nook HD+. Pretty much everything works great.
However, I have a problem with the multiple users. I am able to create a second user, and switch between the two, install apps on either one, etc. But for some reason, I am not able to access the settings in my created user. Whenever I do, I get the message "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working". I can open the settings fine in my owner user account, but not on a created account.
Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas on how to fix it?
EDIT: I believe this may be related to the second user not having root access. How do I enable root access for the second user if I can't access the settings?
I don't know why but my Google account is asking me to repurchase the apps I already purchased. I had no problems installing them again on X2 but now suddenly the Unlocker for most apps are not recognized They have turned to Trial apps again. They were working fine all this time. Is there a fix for it? I removed my Google account and added it again but no difference. I hate this make-shift workaround of adding Google services to the Nokia X2. It's frustrating. Maybe I should just get a proper Android phone. Anyone else faced this same issue or has a fix?
Edit: Never mind, I restored Google play store after a reboot and added my account again and synced. It's all good now. Premium apps are back.
this will be helpfull

Was not sure were to post this, but thought I may ask if anyone has ever ran into getting a Google account disabled. I have several Gmail accounts only really use just 1 but the rest are for different devices over the years, or sites I do not want to give out my personal email etc.
But I thought I'd give my old LG G Pro some new life by flashing Blisspop CM rom. I decided since this device may be used as a remote for my TV box, throwing around, dash cam, etc I'd just have it its own Google account which I created on the phone. Downloaded some apps, and about 2 hours later pick up the phone and it says I need to sign back up, which did NOT work. So I tried on the computer which stated the account was disabled.
Anyone know what may cause this? Running Blisspop and creating the account with it? since its not stock android? something I may not know about? (downloaded Gapps from a reputable source)
I rely on some Google services heavily on my main account I do not want that comprised by the accounts getting linked.
Very secure password was used. But just found it strange.
Thanks!
