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.

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...

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?

Now that we have root, what will you do?

I downloaded Titanium Backup and froze apps
Oh ya, and ad block
Edit: added viper4android, busybox and Greenify. I almost forgot about Greenify! Switched from ADP to AdAway.
Tried Wakelock Detector but it doesn't work Xposed doesn't work either.
Mobile hotspot :good:

I'll nuke every single stupid app that I wasn't already able to remove. Then I'll mess with the framework and config files to do things like remove icons and boost speaker volume.

I tried installing xposed but it said that it wasn't compatible.

Anyone know if we can do a exchange email password/PIN/fingerprint bypass? I'm sick of this damn lockscreen.

I'd like to figure out how to disable any verizon automatic OTA updates so we don't lose root. Anybody know how?

Or use your file manager of choice to rename the app sdm.bak ... I do this for all my unwanted apps once I get root.
Nothing against TiBu, I just like digging in there and seeing things first-hand.

Give them some time to look at it. We've only had root for about 24 hours. I'm working on a couple things, like brightness slider removal, volume boost, and hopefully making it so both the WiFi and LTE icons aren't always on at the same time. Should have some of these by this weekend.

It's been an issue with TW lollipop since xposed was released for 5.0. It doesn't look like anyone is working on getting it fixed as far as I can tell. Maybe with root on such a popular device (unlike the S5) we'll see more work on it soon. I hope so.

I'll keep you in my prayers lol but this has been an issue since xposed for lollipop came out, it never played well with touchwiz. Crossing my fingers for a fix soon.

How to remove Samsung system APK protection

I searched a lot, but did not find a solution to the following known problem:
Since about a year you wouldn't be able to update almost all Samsung core apps (mail, contacts, messages, gallery, clock, touchwiz, ...) directly with the proper apk file (from for example apkmirror).
On S8(+) you were able to bypass this protection by changing the secure startup (either way) and reboot the device. until the next reboot all update-installations would have been successful.
On Note8 this trick does not work anymore.
Only chance is directly after an (official, OTA or Odin) update. Then, it is also possible to update all Samsung programs until next reboot, after which the security mechanism takes place again!
Has anyone so far figured out how to bypass this protection, as it is really annoying?
Thx in advance!
Sent from my SM-N950F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Bump!
Samsung already closed the flaw that directly after an update the manual apk update was possible.
On Tab S3 this is still working (experienced myself a few days ago), but not on Note8...
Does anyone has a solution for this problem?

Bumper help for him^ Someone who knows more maybe shed light on this. Couldn't he apk version the 1s he wants and then bk disable onto updater?

Lol. You two make it sound like it's a case of life and death that you can't update those apps. Or like they are not working properly and now you can't use your phone because you can't update them. Just lol...
