KingRoot Information - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

This is the information I have gathered on KingRoot (for Windows). Please note that this is information gained by using a network monitor and the software was not reversed engineered or decompiled in any way. I am not responsible for how you use this information or any opinion you may form of this software. Lastly I am not responsible for any files downloaded or links followed from this information! Sorry, had to cover myself from slander and those who don't know what they could be getting in to
It appears to be a server side style of app. The app you install either on your phone or pc is simply the gateway to the server and the app knows how to communicate with the server. All functionality appears to be controlled server side, it should (theoretically) not matter what version of the app you are using. The Windows app for this will install the latest android version on your phone, if you do not have it installed already. It actually installs the KingRoot app but also another app named "KrHelper4Pc". This could be the stuff listed in the links and information below, I do not know for fact. The windows app is also in Chinese (I assume). However, they have an unhelpful English page that tells you how to root with the Chinese (I assume) all over it! https://kingroot.net/root-installation-via-windows-pc/
Here are some links that were found having communication:
1. http://103.7.29.26/download.sj.qq.com/qpmgr/AndroidDeviceV6.zip?mkey=58692fabc55ab7b0&f=105&c=0&p=.zip
- This is weird, it downloads a zip file but can not be opened or extracted. I know sometimes .apk files can show as .zip files, so I changed the extension to .apk and moved to my phone sdcard. Can not parse the package...no idea what this file is or how it works! You can open the zip file with wordpad and see a bunch of garbled text though.

Again, this is purely information I have gathered on the use of KingRoot, take it as you wish or as you interpret it. It may (or have) work but there seems to be a lot of other traffic going on, I can not really say if it is necessarily good or bad but I would at least call it "possibly suspicious". The reason I say possibly suspicious is the fact that most "hack tools" are actually not nefarious or do not have bad intentions. They are listed this way to dissuade people from using them. If it shows as a virus, most people will not install or use the program thinking they will get infected when the app is truly not a virus or malicious.
How do I know?
Well, I cant guarantee that any software or app is safe if I did not code it. Back in the day, I used to hack the old Yahoo Messenger login protocol. By doing so, I could create bot programs that could spam, send boot codes to knock them offline and even clone other users. As you can guess, Yahoo did not like this. Yahoo then worked with anti virus companies to get programs like mine listed as a virus to dissuade people from installing them. When this happened, my inbox exploded with people screaming and cussing at me. None of my software is malicious, I would not do that. I ended up releasing my source code to prove it was safe.
Anyways, long story short...for tools like these, it is actually hard to prove if they are malicious, even if a website says so.

Well, that "zip" definitely isn't a zip ... if you look at any real zip in a text editor, the first 2 characters in the header are "PK".
(I think that's where "apk" comes from ... "Android PK).
The file is clearly data that the application decrypts.
I installed the program in Sandboxie & will poke around a little when I have time.
It might be slow going since it's all in Chinese.
There was a suggestion that I was a little overly concerned by the "intrusive" nature of Kingroot ... ha! We'll see ...

Following this for sure

Nice find. Great app.
I keep searching but can't find this app on the market through my phone. As I live in Malaysia, I'm wondering if it is restricted to certain countries only? Is anyone else in other countries having problems finding it in the market?
While on that topic, does anyone know how the market identifies which country you are in? Via Geo-IP? or the installed SIM card? Is there a way to bypass this and download the .apks ?

i search and cant find.. not even on cyrket...since its linked i think its linked directly with the market
yes, im guessing its GeoIP bull crap ...(i really really hate that, being that im a native english speaker not living in the UK or the US, (living in panama) and endup getting all pages loading in spanish)
either way, setting a proxy "might help" i want this app just did not have the time today to test out setting up an http proxy on the phone (accessed option through anycut shortct) but it did not work.. so im guessing setting up a proxy on your router "might" work thats if u use a usa proxy.
i might just wait till someone downloads and posts the apk file here
The only thing I noticed is that its kinda quiet... Anyone else come to this conclusion? I have my phone volume & media volume at 100%. Other than that, its an awesome app!
Was waiting for Pandora but I have an account for both so it works for me

I can find it on cyrket, you have to search for last<space>fm as opposed to last<dot>fm. But can't download from cyrket so that doesn't solve much ...
Anyone got it want to post an .apk somewhere?

and searching last <space> fm in the market does not bring anythign up for you either??
once i get time im going to try and hook the phone through a usa proxy from one of my servers and see if the market brings up more apps
I had the same problem, then I saw it on the list of featured apps and I downloaded it. Strange I know. Just try to refresh the list of featured apps until you get it, it might solve your problem for now. I do not reside in the US, so It might not be a location issue, unless the featured app is an oversight!

thanks for the tip, will try, still hasn't popped up for me on the featured apps, though the market must be filtering applications based on geo location
though now we know the featured apps is exempt from that filter (for now)
hehe ... it appeared on Featured Apps in the browser and I quickly grabbed it. Playing fine now.
Could someone attach the APK?
Could someone attach the APK?
I grabbed mine from the Featured items as well. Why the heck does the search not work for some apps? MyMaps was the same.
I love this app. A lot.
Only down side: there is no exit option. and my task manager app wont kill it either.
other than that it is awesome.

This is actually a characteristic of Android and not the Last.fm app in particular. Android (as well as some other embedded operating systems) is designed so that app lifecycles are managed by the os, not the user. Working as intended.
jashu - Yes, I know that android will monitor apps and close ones that are not used for a long time, I actually like that. What I mean is that the last time I used the app was Friday when I was at work, came home, left my msg here and today (Sunday) the app is still running. I do not have it playing anything, it is not looking at my catalog/library or anything else. When I use the task manager app to close it, it pops back up.
On the imeem app there is an option to logout. When you logout it closes the app as well - internally to the app, not Android closing it. So I think this can be written into the Last.FM app as well, yes?
Not a ding against the app, just something to be aware of.

Hey,
I also can't find the app in the market (german provider with an uk RC8 JF1.41 phone). So can someone please post the .apk somewhere?
there is an update for the last.fm client
think it scrobbles now

i cant update it... so i guess i have to look for it on featured apps again, then re-download...
the app seeps not to show up on wifi , and on some providers on data plan
let us know if ur able to snag the updated file
Last FM apk
lol i jsut came back to edit
was able to snag the update file...
thnx anywayz !!

Go To Url

Ok, this was my first app on the market. Basically it's a window that lets you enter a search term and select a search or just a URL and it will open a browser to that page.
So far I have:
Google
Google Images
Google Maps (Uses Maps app)
Wikipedia
IMDB
Amazon
Ebay
Android Market
(Youtube coming soon)
If you have any other search suggestions, please post them. I will be happy to add them!
Check out the app on the market! I have a free version and a donate version for $1.43 (So I get a buck). It's rated 5/5 so far (I'm quite pleased)
I find myself using this app more than any others
Many have asked for an On Screen Keyboard, and I've been researching it, but I don't really know how to make one. If you have any tips regarding that, that would be awesome.
Anyways, enjoy the app!
UPDATE: Custom searches added.
Very nice, very useful indeed! I have always been a bit annoyed by having to start the browser up and go to the site I want to search and wait for it to download and render before I can perform my search. Can take 10, 15, 30 seconds before I even submit my search. This makes it so much easier!
Great app, man. Thank you!
A suggestion for improvement would be for the users to be able to add "custom" search strings. I frequent a bunch of sites that are too obscure for you to add to your app, so an option for me to add my own search string would be great.
Say I want to add a custom site, like blocket.se (a Swedish classified advertising site) and I know the formatting for a search on that site is http://www.blocket.se/li?q=<search_string>
Now let's replace the string we enter in the text field with an operator, like %s :
http://www.blocket.se/li?q=%s
Which would perform a search of that particular site. When adding a custom site we would need the following dialog.
Name: [____________] <-- Where we enter the name of the custom search
String: [____________] <-- The formatted URL
[Save] [Cancel]
Sorry for unloading this on you, I do realize a feature like this won't just happen by itself, it takes many hours of coding to make it happen. Feel free to tell me to bugger off if it's just not something you feel is right for this app.
Cheers!
No, I actually think that's a fantastic idea. Right now the search drop down is just a static array of names and the urls are hard coded in. Unfortunately, sharedpreferences doesn't support arrays so unlimited custom searches might not work, but I could let users put in 3 or so. I'll get on it over the weekend. Sorry for thinking out loud haha.
And I'm glad you like it
Maybe custom searches would be a good feature just for people with the donate version?

Three custom ones would be great too, no doubt! Thinking out loud is a great way of giving an idea some structure, and if you in addition to that can bounce an idea off a couple of other people it usually turns out great. A bit of brainstorming.
I would definitely pay a few bucks for custom search strings. Unfortunately I can't access paid apps yet, probably because I'm on a dev phone and in the wrong country. I could drop a few bucks off on your paypal account though, if you have one.
Have you put the free one on the market yet? I don't see it posted, only your paid version. Not that I won't pay for it, I'd just rather check it out before purchasing
I would like to try it out too, and since I don't have a Google Checkout, I can't. I would rather donate by Paypal if you have an account.
The free version is on the market as well (it's a bit older). Just search Go To Url. If you do feel like donating, there's a button on my website(www.nickkarstedt.com) that has a paypal donate button.
Answers.com would be nice as well.
Good thinking.
Ok, just updated the donate version this weekend. I added search history (Works like the browser's history, but is stored seperately. You can disable and clear it).
Now for the big feature: Custom searches.
You can now add and delete as many custom searches as you want. You can even delete the default custom searches (so you can reorder them).
I'm going to add the option to move searches up and down on the list for the next version. Until then, you'd have to delete and add.
Loving it!
The search string is always added to the end of the URL we enter (when we add a custom search)? Nineteen out of twenty times this is not a problem, but on some sites the formatting of the URL is a bit different and the search string is not placed at the end of the URL but rather in the middle of it.
Still, I love this app. Makes searching so much easier when you don't have to wait for websites to load/render.
**Edit: One thing I have noticed is that if you open the app up in portrait mode, select a search in the list and then switch to landscape, you have to select which site to search again (it defaults back to "Go To URL!" mode). Not a big problem, just something I noticed just a minute ago for the first time

Yeah. I really shouldn't try to appeal to whiners... but I need more stars! (And cash! Cash is always nice!)
I notice you're using a generic Windows Run icon for your app. Not sure if you're interested, but I made a dedicated "Go To Url" icon (mostly because it goes better with my theme), which you are free to use should you want to. Either way, here it is.

Awesome! I could use that one for the paid version, looks very spiffy.
Also, I think what I'm going to do now with free/donate versions is just keep the free version a release or two behind the donate version, just so those who pay get it a few days/a week earlier. I don't like the idea of limiting functionality.
Got that free users? You'll get your custom searches and history soon enough.
All I'm working on right now is changing the custom urls to use %s instead of %url% + search term. If you guys have any more suggestions, lets hear em!
Is the "nag screen" asking you to go to the market supposed to show up every time I start the app? It says "THIS MESSAGE WILL ONLY BE DISPLAYED ONCE" but I get it every time I start it. And I alreday have Blocked! installed
Ah! That's what I asked you about in the PM! I updated it on the market, I'll send you a copy of the fixed version since you can't update.

Oh, lol, I completely misunderstood what you meant. Sorry 'bout that

should i use ANTIvirus and ANTI malware?

should i use ANTIvirus and ANTI malware?
on my PC i have kaspersky and Malware bytes
should i have something similar on my android phone?
This should not be necessary as long as you don't use any files from unknown sources. For example only use the market to install applications, only copy files from your pc to your phone (they will be scanned on your pc), and as usual be careful for attachments in your mailbox. Check where they come from and if you receive "sexy girls.bat" from anyone (even a friend) don't open it...
You can always connect phone in mass storage mode and run kaspersky on the two memory cards .

cheers
both good bits of advice
- stuff from good sources a great idea ---sexy girls.bat
-also the scan with kaspersky was a great idea

I'm resurrecting this thread since I read the article on here about dodgy virus market apps
I couldn't find it again to post it.
But do I need a security program on my phone
if so whats good or are there any free ones?
cheers
i use 'MyLookout' its a free app (also a paid version) and everytime something new is put onto the phone, MyLookout will automatically scan it for malware, its a really good app.
also another advantage of this app, is you can do backups to the cloud.
And another thing. If your device was to go missing, you can simply log on to the website MyLookout.com from your PC or another Phone, there you can switch on GPS, track the Phone down, perform a full wipe, lock the device, Sound an alarm on the phone which cannot be turned off.
and the best feature, is you can select an option so the app will not uninstall, so the thief who took your phone, cannot uninstall the app. Meaning you can always keep tracking it down
you can do all this from any PC / Mobile

No just don't install sketchy apps.
Then again I don't use AV on my PC's either...it has proven useless in the past as it doesn't keep up with the attackers quickly enough. These days I go with a 'perimeter defense', keep the hostile code from running on the machine in the first place rather than running every damn thing and counting on some program to be current enough to save me.
Kaspersky Mobile Security is the best
Though i'm not using it right now.
I use lookout and find it excellent, though as others rightly say your phone is not nearly as vulnerable as your pc and by following common sense behaviour you should be totally fine. Give lookout a try as it includes lost phone detection and wiping too.

Why should I care about malware when I flash the phone every two weeks!!
(sometimes less time)
I don't, because I want to maintain maximum performance and battery life. Plus I'm not sure how effective any of the products are.
I must say though, I am a lot more careful about reading permissions and installing untested apps these days, after reading about the droid-dream malware etc.
nipip: lol true, same here
What about NetQin

And where to get kaspersky from? its not in the market
Galaxy S XWJVB
I use Lookout and have been very happy with it. Sure it may be a placebo at this moment. But as smartphones become the net access tool of choice for more people, malware will get worse as time goes by.
Plus I feel those people who say they can avoid trouble on their phones and even PCs by just not downloading "dodgy" code are massively underestimating the asshats out there and the ways that harmful code can be hidden. If you open a PDF or even a website, you ARE vulnerable.

Help! 4.2 update erased my bookmarks!

All of my bookmarks have been erased by the 4.2 update! Is there anything I can do to get them back? I am talking about the local bookmarks.
Actually, the update erased everything related to my browser: bookmarks, saved passwords, search options etc.
Chrome Browser?
Did you get OTA update or did you do something to get it?
Stock browser. OTA, just popped out of nowhere (didn't even know 4.2 was out until it showed) and I thought "why not"? Well that answers why not. I do have a backup of the bookmarks but it's over 2 months old and many are missing, probably lost forever unless someone here has any ideas on how to get them back. The missing bookmarks were the result of many hours of web searches I did at some point researching a topic and I'd really hate to think of all that wasted time. I never imagined an update would erase my bookmarks, it never happened with previous ones.
(I could never figure in titanium backup how to do scheduled backups of the bookmarks only and nothing else)
If you visit each & every site that you had bookmarked you'll find that you can tap on the star in the address bar & bookmark them all over again.

Do you happen to have the same Book Marks on your Phone or maybe your Computer. Do you use Chrome Browser on your Computer... If not i recommend it. It as well other desktop / phone browsers will give you the option to sync them across devices.. I LOVE This feature.
Now as far it being a near end of earth catastrophe About loosing book marks. It has happened to me in the past. I just had to search for the sites i use again. I also found i had way more book mark sites then i actually use.
I think this is what the above comment meant about . Just go back to the sites and Re add them.. Some of the Inter-webs and company links are not so easy and i do feel for you for loosing them..
Good Luck.. Chrome will not get them back but could prevent this in the future..

I don't use chrome. I have tried hard to like it, and failed. It is counterintuitive for me.
Like I said, those bookmarks were the result of many hours of research (product availability for a narrow niche market, very hard to find). I didn't have them anywhere else. I guess I will have to waste more hours to find them again.
Anyway, the 4.2 update gets a big thumbs down from me.

For future reference, there are are apps in the play store that will back up your bookmarks.
I've lost plenty of bookmarks myself over the years. Until I started backing them up with
A third party app.

Like I said, I use Titanium Backup and it does a good job at it, but I haven't figured out how to make it regularly backup my bookmarks only. I don't want to do a full system backup on a daily basis. I backup the bookmarks manually, but I have to remember doing that. The last time I remembered was on Sept 29th.
Another app I tried, Bookmark Sort&Backup has the nasty habit of reversing the order of my bookmarks every time I start it. (yeah I know, just run it twice) It has no automation built in it either, so all operations have to be done manually. Comes down to memory again.
That would be something nice to see in titanium... The closest you can get is to schedule
A backup for modified data. But it backs up all modified data, not individual apps.
(Pro version)
(Edit) Just realized that TB does backup individual apps with modified
Data on a schedule... If you create a filter for just that app.
I use chrome and all my bookmarks are still there. However on one game it cleared my history of winning games. No big deal.

Android Studio 4.1.1 Select Device choice Grayed Out ?

Android Studio 4.1.1: Trying to solve a problem I went to the Gradle menu right side, followed project-name | build | build. I do not now recall what was next but when I came out of it the Run menu had changed. The Select-Device option is grayed out, the Run-App choice is missing, other Run choices are presented. I need to get Run | Select-Device and Run | App back. Any ideas appreciated

Note: I decided the best approach was to uninstall Android Studio and re-install. Only takes 5 minutes. Always solves this type of problem. Well, I guess it has a secret place to keep settings, a place that persists un-install because the error simply came back
If you know of this place please let me know. Thank you, Mick

I used CCleaner and others to uninstall Android Studio and cleanup the registry and all, hoping to reinstall AS and carry on. But it is still stuck. So I expect the stuck options are within the project files. Next question, here is a pic of the project, which folders and files can I delete without losing stuff that I need? Hopefully I can delete the right one
NOTE1: use the vertical scroll bar to see the entire list
NOTE2: I am unable to compile and test my project until I get this sorted out
TIA!
Well, I found this post on Stack Overflow,
How to completely uninstall Android Studio from windows(v10)?
Quite detailed. I went thru the whole thing, being aware not to delete my project. Problem persists. So the detail is probably in my actual project. So I still need the answer to my previous post with the pic of my directory listing
I have done a full days work on this since my above post - I found a post on Stackoverflow that listed ALL of the things that need to be deleted to completely remove Android Studio. There are tens of thousands of files to be deleted from several places. .gradle is one example. I went for coffee. In addition I cleaned the registry with CCleaner, and ran a couple of other similar programs.
Then I reinstalled Android studio and no joy. It still found my project directory, automatically loaded my project, and had the same anomaly. So I need to know what files in the project directory I can delete without losing the needed ones. Otherwise next step is to save the obvious ones [java, xml, etc], delete all else, re-install Android Studio again, restart it as a new project, and hope
I'll attach two pics, one of the project directory showing all of the files/directories from which I must make keep/delete decisions. Any comments on what to delete or NOT are appreciated. Then a screen shot of the anomalous behaviour. I used red arrows to indicate two of the places of concern. Note especially that Select Device is grayed out.
you are familiar with the utility of these
project directories/files list then you could offer an opinion on what can be deleted. Thank you

Problem solved, almost as mysteriously as it started. I made some planned changes to the app and went thru the process of setting up an AVD and editing the run configuration. Then the Select Device became un-grayed, the Run menu reverted to normal, and everything worked.
How did you all help? Well, you gave me a structured place to think and prepare how to fix this, and it worked. I had to think hard so that I could present the problem properly. That has been enough. Thank you for being here
