Since buying the N1 in April, I've been very happy with both the phone, and the Android OS.
However, I've been noticing an uptick in the past couple of months of dubious emails hitting my Google account which I registered with my phone. admittedly this is anecdotal, but the nature of the emails leads me to think that some of the app devs whose programs I've installed/tried out, are capturing and selling validated email addresses to third parties. It then seems that some of them (besides increasing the usual Spam being filtered by gmail) go a step further and register the email address to various groups, lists, emails, newsfeeds, etc.
I'm not terribly shocked by this, and since I pretty much limit my gmail usage to using on the phone, I just want to sound people out to determine if I'm just being paranoid, or actually noticing something valid.
Not that it's related, but I'm also running Cyan 6.0.0 (8/27)
Seeing as the market is open for any individual to just slap some crap up for people to download, there is no doubt this is possible. Nothing unique to Android.
One way to attempt to protect yourself in the future would be to sign up with these dev's by adding a tag to your email address like such:
Code:
[email protected]
or
Code:
[email protected]
where '+shadydev1' is incremented to identify who is sending what. Though, the spammers could strip the tags making all this pointless, in which case just do what everyone else does and send them to your Hotmail account
*Edit* Looking at your OP again, I guess youre saying that the DEVs are pulling your email from the phone itself which is much more malicious, making my post pointless.

Hey, I have not noticed this, but thanks for the tip! Had no idea you could tag in the username like that for GMail. I don't use it much honestly, but perhaps I will
I have my own domain and I have like spam1 spam2 spam3 etc I use... but not quite as flexible
Thanks for the suggestion. Going to start utilizing it. Sorry about the late response, been out of touch for a bit.
With the recent dustup over Facebook, that's exactly the sort of thing I'm suspecting is happening in my situation. Because it really started to amp up when I installed Cyanogen 6.0. Now in no way am I implying something wrong or directly related to Cy's code. It's awesome and I wouldn't trade it for anything. But anecdotally, the level of Spam seems to coincide. And as i don't know enough about the Android OS, not sure if 1) rooting the phone and installing a custom ROM left it more exposed than stock, 2) Some market app(s) I've installed have done a 'Facebook' with my data via some exploit or 3) Stock or rooted, wouldn't make much of a difference because jagoffs are the same no matter where, when or how. They'll find a way.
But as my original query didn't seem to gain much traction, doesn't seem others have experienced any noticible increase as a result of rooting their phones. Btw, I should say not just Spam for viagra type stuff has increased in my gmail account. but what would otherwise seem to be 'legitimate' emails that i have no idea as to their origins. religious groups, a car dealership asking me how I like my new car, etc. And after some research, it seems that variants of my email address will find their way into my inbox. according to google's Help. If I create [email protected], i'll also get email for [email protected], for example.

Yep, as does [email protected], or [email protected]
Has nothing to do with this nonsense thread.
I have yet to get a spam mail past Gmail spam filter, and I have my Nexus rooted and on custom ROMs for a long time.
The scenario you describe theoretically might happen if you installed a "semi-malicious" app that would request your permissions for accessing your account / contact list, and you let it. Just rooting and installing whatever ROM won't get you there.
Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the android programming scene and I'm trying out a simple app idea I have. My app idea is to be a way for people to make posts to facebook and that's it. I've got the code working but what really bugs me is how the logging in system works and how the posting system works. The way I have done it, the app does not handle the authentication flow nor the posts, but rather a pop-up comes up and asks them to sign in or make a post - similar to using the browser. This does not work with the design of the rest of the app along with slowing it down. I need help. I want my app to authorize the user, similar to how the official Facebook android app logs people in; there are no pop-ups and everything is handled by the app (same to be done with making posts). If you guys could help me out by blatantly telling me what to do, sending me any articles that explain how to do it, or any other help I would appreciate it. Thanks!
NOTE: I have glanced around the Facebook developer site and I'm completely confused by their documentation. I know there's something about fragments, but I'm not sure if I understand it completely.
Okay guys, I found this thread at Stack Overflow and found the answer. In case anyone else had a similar question. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...x-send-to-the-users-wall-with-facebooks-andro
Let's get started!
What you're going to need!(IMPORTANT!)
1. SU
2. Busy Box
3. A Way To Side Load
4. Knowledge Of Permission Setting
& Root Permissions
5. Root Explorer
If you're familiar with setting permissions via. Root Explorer that's a plus!
I'm sorry, but as I don't get on the computer much. I can't provide permissions to set and I'll tell you the usual.
Everything here can be found with a simple Google search.
Are you a noob?
Well, I can tell you that this procedure is very easy and something easy to remember.
Google a search on; "What Permissions To Set On Root Explorer In System" or something among those lines, as we will need to install .apk's that way!
Assuming you understand what to do, let's figure out what player you'd like to use.
I, being one to have large libraries of music tend to use PlayerPro, I recommend Google Music/Google Play Music.
Let's pull more strings! Pull the app off the net or if you own the app, extract it onto a side load app you trust.
Once done, proceed to Root Explorer with knowing you have the app on the Ouya itself, once you see it use the Copy Paste method and place it in the System Apps(can be easily found from Main Directory), once you've established this, now is where permission settings come into play.
You should be able to remotely click the bottom "..." Using the D-Pad or the Touch Pad. This is where Copy And Paste should be.
If you've gotten through this and everything is set up proper, the next step is to reboot the console itself, do a full reboot to prevent any confusion and risk not seeing/having the player working.
If you've done this correctly, once you go to view your apps, you should see your app installed and ready to go.
NOTE: And yes, I mean note! Do not try this with the side load procedure and expect it to work, people have attempted this and either 1. See force closes, 2. The app is not loading, 3. The app is there but will not open and doesn't truly seem to be installed.
SIDE NOTE: This can be done with both ADB and my procedure.
If this was useful to you, I can only ask of a favor!

MODS This just clickbait SPAM BS.
The title is vague on purpose, and the thread is basically saying "Hey bro, if you want a music app on your Ouya, just sideload that ****! OH WOW!"
However, like dully79 said, the only main reason to use the official Google Music app is to use the Google Music service and stream your library from the cloud. However, this is impossible without Google Services, which is not present in the stock Ouya ROM and isn't in any 3rd party ROM out yet, either. So basically, you can't do what he says you can do by doing what he says to do.

Please be respectful of my threads.
No, I do not have my channel setup at the end to spam boards, it's just a simple thanks if you enjoyed my tutorial.
I don't intend to spam people, nor do I try and grab traffic.
I am simply trying to help others understand a method, if you disagree, I'd be more than happy to remove my channel link with a simple request, and also a request that you not bash my threads as I'm only here for assistance and spend my time happily making ROMs and doing other things.
I will not criticize you unless you doing do the same, it's disrespectful to me that you try and hurt my progress and tuts I post as users may not know how.
If I were simply begging for something I'd spend my time in General Forums where people generally go to do that sort of thing.
Lastly, if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say it and just avoid wasting your time coming through a place where people go to help, not get help with a channel.
I'm disappointed to know that someone would go as far as to make a whole post bashing on what I do to help the community, and I will have this brought to the mods and discussed with them in order to better our area without someone posting the same in all threads.
My last words are, thank you for those of you who actually know I try to help and who simply understand that if I were to spam you'd seed traffic from my post everywhere. I love you all, and appreciate you not going this far to bash me.

To leave my feedback on a clearer note. YES! Yes you can listen to music from a storage device as long as the device is read as a USB Mount! This has been confirmed by others in the official Ouya Forums!
Google Play Music is for cloud streaming. And for any other read device!

This thread was your fourth post on XDA, at least on that account.
It is not actually a Development post and contains basically nothing that anyone in the Dev section wouldn't already know ("Hey bro, if you want to put an app onto your system you can copy & paste it into /system/apps! This makes it a system app! Oh wow!")
Then you link to your YouTube channel and ask people to go to it.
All of these things together made you seem like a SPAMmer. If you're not, sorry about that, but your post is still in the wrong forum and doesn't actual contain useful or new information. The fact that a much better thread explaining how to do what you posted about exists (in the correct forum no less) is just icing on the cake.

If this is in the wrong place I apologize. First which devices run live aods? Im very surprised note 8 doesn't have this functionality. Second general gripes about oreo ota. 1) removed app longpress options such as "app info" etc why? 2)buried easily accessible settings through longpressing quicksettings. 3)not oreo but annoying. No dedicated live wp menu. Please add your gripes itt.
I think there is nothing to "gripe", all the complaints that you are presenting can be easily fixed or implemented by means of some app, if you read carefully this entire section, you can find many useful insights about oreo and its changes, in my case, instead of complaining or whinning, I preffer to look for solutions or fixes, but that is my opinion

Fair enough mod. I've been around a while and have never flamed. But I'm really at my wits end. I had a perfectly functioning non rooted device that no longer works properly after 8.0 ota. I have default alert tones, all apps had specific akert tones, ringing with no indication of what they are. Apps will download but not install without a long period of time. Badges are borked. Apps will not open from notification shade. And Ive not found a fix. Ive read even factory reset will not remedy the situation. So if your handset works, great, but it seems like piling on when you get replies like the above. Ive removed Samsung account, removed updates from google apps. Cleared partition cache and nada..

I understand your frustration, trust me. I'm having the same issues coming from the S8+ to the S9+. I also miss some of the features that Oreo seemed to remove. However, please just try not to take that frustration out on other members. If you're not pleased with someone's response, as I said, you can ignore it or if it's really bad, report it and mods will handle it. I hope you find a resolution or you could possibly RMA if needed I suppose.
Good luck!
Thank you for your polite response. Im wondering if I should start a thread if there is an oreo specific forum? Btw does S9 have the live aods?

We have the infinity wallpapers, which kinda adds a live effect to the AOD but not really lol. I think your thread here is ok as is, there might be an Oreo related thread in the guides section for Note 8 but TBH I haven't checked.

I only stated that is useless to complain or whine
here in XDA, about all the things you do not like about Oreo or for that matter anything related, nobody here has control or solutions for what samsung implements, or takes away, and, for solutions, YOU are the one who must look for them, I never demand anything from others
So in any regard. If you want animated AOD. Heres what you do. Why if you go to Samsung store and try to dl an animated aod it tells you "your phone is not compatible with animated aod's" is beyond me but whatever.
1) go to AOD, under Lock screen settings
2)choose clock style
3)choose style where you previously or now can choose a static pic
4) choose gif will now be an option and about 20 default gifs will be present. Choose one of those or your own
5)profit

That may be true, but as I said if you go to Samsung store and try to dl an animated aod it will at least tell me "device not supported". But I got a few cool ones from giphy.
So Im copying this here in the hopes it may help somebody. At least re. Oreo's random and unceasing notifications.
I may have found the reason. The new power saving "feature" may be the culprit. It seems to sound an alert every time it sleeps an app not whitelisted. Probably one of the stupidest pieces of coding ever. I caught a notification in the bar of like an ekg line when it happened. But get this it immediately disappears. So if you dont catch it you have now idea why you're being alerted. Go in to maintenance and switch all off or whatever you think is appropriate and it should stop. However the random vibration alerts I can't figure out. Ill get them for apps I dont have them set for but sporadically like instagram. And then on next sms which I have it specifically set not to vibrate. Hope this helps.
As the title so eloquently stated, I need help with some kernel build errors. If anyone can provide assistance, I would greatly appreciate it.
If anyone else with a G6/G6 Play wants to ask their own kernel or build related questions, I very much welcome that in this thread. I don't have all the answers, but I'll damn sure try to help you anyways. If you can answer a question, please do so. If you have logs to post, please attach them or use the hide function.

Some things I've noticed after investigating the errors.
1. fs/f2fs/Kconfig The f2fs folder and the subsequent kconfig do not exist in the kernel sources. Motorola did not include them and I don't know how to write it. I'm really stumped here. f2fs is needed by our device or nothing will ever boot. I have no clue what to do about this one. <<< Solved! Motorola has them in a different place in the repo. It took some digging but I found it. I had to add them manually.
2. include/config/auto.conf Same problem here too. auto.conf does not exist. I don't know what it should contain, or how to write it.
I'm very much at a loss with this. If I can't fix these issues, then I can't build.
I can't believe you actually found the f2fs/kconfig or the folder itself. Nice detective work. It really is a bummer when an OEM releases a broken piece of $h!t of a source. I might try poking around in the next couple of days to see what I can figure out.

I know, you'd expect it to all be together. And in the f2fs sources, there's a read me which details critical steps and dependencies required to build the kernel... Because of course there is! My 2nd problem might soon be solved for that very reason actually.
Basically, you need to search the repos for MMI-OPPS27.91-35-3. The only problem with that is, github's search function won't pull up any results for it unless you're in a specific repo that has that tag. There's also 106 Motorola repos, and many contain Jeter sources. No clue how many either. I keep finding more. If there's a way to sync all that automagically, I'm not aware of it, and my PC also has no internet. So, that's not really possible. Why isn't there simply a folder labeled "Jeter-MMI-OPPS27.91-35-3", with everything required for building that release inside? The way things are laid out is extremely scattered and makes no sense. If I built a library, I wouldn't hide parts of books in the janitors closet, bathroom, and attic. Which is basically what they did.
"You want to read the whole novel?! Well I got news for you buddy! Pages 23-57 are in a desk drawer on the 3rd floor, and pages 192-465 are stuffed inside the back of random toilets in ziplock bags. I forget which ones. You'll have to fish around. And by the way, check the hallways on your way through, because I'm positive I dropped some pages." --Not even an understatement.
Had some crazy issues like that building Samsung kernels (albiet much less "modern") in the days of froyo. But more broken than scattered. Ended up calling the kernel "Electric Sheep".
Might be showing my age on those few things. (Like froyo, geez).
It was a reference to a sci-fi book from, well, a while back called "Do robots dream of electric sheep?" It was about androids becoming so smart they became sentient. Seemed clever at the time.
Sorry for bit of OT.
I have to manually enter each repo that might contain sources for the Jeter, then search for the tag. I can't in any way search all of Motorola's repos for a specific tag, or a partial file name. I was able to use dates to help narrow it down. I need to check at least 58 repos for Jeter sources. This is insane. Android should not be this difficult. Stuff like this would turn away almost any would be developer. The bar to entry is a ridiculously convoluted mess. If anyone knows of a way to search all of an organizations repos for a tag name at once, I'd love to hear it.
I just tried looking, I couldn't find even 1. Granted I only had a few minutes to search. Is it Motorola mobility GitHub? I didn't really see anything recent.

Yep, that's it. You have to select a repo first and drop into it. This is the easiest way for me.
Ex: MotorolaMobilityLLC > kernel-msm > select the releases tab > hit tags > then use the "find in page" in your browser, search for MMI-OPPS27.91-35-3, try the next page until you find it, or nothing at all. Go back and try another repo.
I just tried searching inside of the repo, and well... I'll post screen shots of that. You can clearly see the exact name in the releases to the left and it's underlined. When I search for it, I get nothing too. I have too many questions about that, and no answers. Github's search function is broken. It can find Jeter inside a text file somewhere, but can't find its own tags...

Yeah I was finding the same. When you sync to their repo does it find the resources? I've had to jump everywhere to see even a portion. I know GitHub can be difficult to navigate manually, but come on. What a mess. Maybe I'm missing something. Makes me wonder if ppl building for ALI just decompiled it and did a few edits. But anything meaningful needs to be built in.

I can't sync, otherwise I'd try. My pc does not have internet. Plenty of guides say that you can simply download the kernel source, untar it, set the tool chain etc, and you're good to go. That's the whole idea of being able to download sources manually, or so I thought. This is entirely broken though. It's really not accessible manually. I wish I could check repo sync.

Oh I see. I had to kill my home internet recently (can't fit it in my budget). But I went to Virgin Mobiles unlimited plan and "turned on" my hotspot. So I get internet on my PC. It slow as heck during the day but, come 2 a.m. it flies. That's when I usually do my downloading and sync sessions.
That's going to make it a little tough. You've made some great contributions to this device. I'll try to help any way I can.
The g6 play telegram group has some good guys in it. But alot of people just waiting on someone's breakthrough to show up too.
I see fs/f2fs/kconfig in the zip. But I do not see
Include/config/auto.conf
But include/ is, well, missing things for sure.

Yeah, this whole thing is a mess. I'm not sure that I'm going to get very far with it. Every time I try this, there's some major problem that can't be overcome. No answers, and no one to ask. I keep trying every few months, been doing it for years, and something always keeps me from building. The android developer website is no help, and never has been. It's just as convoluted. Every part of it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
The truth is, I want to break my phone. I get black square glitches, audio issues (viper helps), and constant horrible scroll lag. I'm also past the return date. This was whole reason for wanting to build a kernel. To fix this crap. Our 4 core thinks it has 8 cores. It tries to send surface updates to a nonexistent core, surface flinger flips out because there's no power or response from cores 4-7, and attempts to redraw the screen on each core until it hits core 0 again. Black or white squares flicker across the screen when this happens. I've sent logs to Motorola/Lenovo, they don't care, they don't follow up, they don't fix anything. Why does this happen? The developers at Motorola took shortcuts. Huge, shortcuts.

I saw some issues in the repo. Ppl I spoke to from the e4 on there.
Saw things about adding the /fs and needing to generate configs. It takes time. And support for sure. From users who have built Moto kernels.
I'll do some hunting.
The guy who made a kernel for the g6 also made a build for Jeter. I'll see if I can pick his brain
From what I can tell he's building the kernel via reverse engineering, so he might not be the person to look to. My thoughts are taking the Ali auto config and modding it to be compatible with Jeter. I've been on RR for a while, tbh as well.
I'm about to post Motorola's glaring shim error in a few min. I just need to reproduce it. Usually typing anything or making surface flinger do some work will do the trick, hence this long drawn out rambling about the shim error. Come on shim, I know you're going to screw up any time now... And there it is. Check the image in the attachments. I'll include the full logs. The kernel is mad because the frequency for CPU's 4-7 can't be read.

Yeah, I see it a lot when using GPS for work (I do tons of driving). I catch it out of the corner of my eye. I see squares of glitches flipping out on the screen. Only for a second though.
Nice to have an explanation.

I posted about it on Virgin's community forums. The rep there was... less than helpful, I'll put it that way. You should have no problem finding it if you look in the android section. I aim to raise a huge stink about this until Motorola, Virgin Mobile, or myself gets it fixed. I'm probably going to hit social media with it in the next 24 to 48hrs. I will fight them to get this fixed.

I think you're one of the only other people I see with the g6 play from Virgin, other than me. Most are boost. I stick with Virgin for the hotspot. Once enabled with buildprop, it's endless.
Boost includes it in their plans, so it's already active. No need to "enable" it, But it's throttled over a certain data limit. Nope. I'll stick with Virgin. They stab you on the hotspot pricing, but their stab opens a hole for us to tether to our hearts content.
I know their both owned by Sprint, but little differences make the choice for me.
Boost does have better prices on the devices though.

Agreed, I could have bought mine directly from sprint, but I got it from boost because they were selling it for $100 compared to a near $200 at sprint.
Update: Madbat made an issue on GitHub and I made some comments on it to clarify what he meant.
I have finally located the source of the error. If anyone knows how to convert a boot.img-dtb to a dt.txt file, please let me know. I tried the old Axon 7 tutorial which worked for me in the past for other devices, but it gives me a bad magic error on the G6. Hex editing isn't going to cut it either, that's bootloop city. I need to edit out some core references. Check the images to see what I'm talking about.
Edit: I've discovered that the G6 Play actually does have an 8 core cpu. We have two clusters and 8 cores defined in the dtb. Cluster0 is set to cores 0-3. Cluster1 is rerouted to point to Cluster0, which forces the kernel to use only 4 cores. I'm attempting to get all cores online. I could still use some help converting the dtb to a dt.txt though.
