is the weatherbug any better?

for barometer to work you need to be in the open right? not in the office right or in the car?

JB or ICS ? if JB dun know but if ICS then wanamlite romICS V 2.2

hows the battery life? is it CheckROM XXDLI2 - (4.1.1)- The Best!

The latest release of Google's Android mobile operating system has finally been properly fortified with an industry-standard defense. It's designed to protect end users against hack attacks that install malware on handsets.

In an analysis published Monday, security researcher Jon Oberheide said Android version 4.1, aka Jelly Bean, is the first version of the Google-developed OS to properly implement a protection known as address space layout randomization. ASLR, as it's more often referred to, randomizes the memory locations for the library, stack, heap, and most other OS data structures. As a result, hackers who exploit memory corruption bugs that inevitably crop up in complex pieces of code are unable to know in advance where their malicious payloads will be loaded. When combined with a separate defense known as data execution prevention, ASLR can effectively neutralize such attacks.

Although Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, was the first Android release to offer ASLR, the implementation was largely ineffective at mitigating real-world attacks. One of the chief reasons for the deficiency was Android's executable region, heap, libraries, and linker were loaded at the same locations each time. This made it significantly easier for attackers designing exploits to predict where in memory their malicious code can be located.

"As long as there's anything that's not randomized, then it (ASLR) doesn't work, because as long as the attacker knows something is in the same spot, they can use that to break out of everything else," Charlie Miller, a veteran smartphone hacker and principal research consultant at security firm Accuvant, told Ars. "Jelly Bean is going to be the first version of Android that has full ASLR and DEP, so it's going to be pretty difficult to write exploits for that." Miller has spent the past seven years writing software exploits that can install malware on Macs, iPhones, and Android handsets when they do nothing more than browse a booby-trapped website.

By contrast, Apple's competing iOS has offered fully implemented ASLR and DEP for the past 16 months. Not that Apple developers' track record of adding the protection has been perfect. The 2009 debut of OS X Snow Leopard also failed to randomize core parts of the OS. Those omissions were finally fixed with the later release of OS X Lion.

Unlike its Android predecessors, Jelly Bean provides randomization for what's known as position-independent executables. That will make it significantly harder to use a technique known as return-oriented programming when exploiting buffer overflows and other memory-corruption vulnerabilities discovered in the mobile platform. Jelly Bean also provides defenses to prevent information leakage exploits that can lead to much more serious OS exploits.

Android has yet to introduce code signing, a protection designed to prevent unauthorized applications from running on the device by requiring code loaded into memory to carry a valid digital signature before it can be executed. It has long been present in iOS.

Here’s what Google had to say about their ever-increasing emphasis on security:

Android 1.5+
ProPolice to prevent stack buffer overruns (-fstack-protector)
safe_iop to reduce integer overflows
Extensions to OpenBSD dlmalloc to prevent double free() vulnerabilities and to prevent chunk consolidation attacks. Chunk consolidation attacks are a common way to exploit heap corruption.
OpenBSD calloc to prevent integer overflows during memory allocation

Android 2.3+
Format string vulnerability protections (-Wformat-security -Werror=format-security)
Hardware-based No eXecute (NX) to prevent code execution on the stack and heap
Linux mmap_min_addr to mitigate null pointer dereference privilege escalation (further enhanced in Android 4.1)

Android 4.0+
Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) to randomize key locations in memory

Android 4.1+
PIE (Position Independent Executable) support
Read-only relocations / immediate binding (-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now)
dmesg_restrict enabled (avoid leaking kernel addresses)
kptr_restrict enabled (avoid leaking kernel addresses)

Different firmware modem is designed to suit different country..so..dxlh1 is malaysian one..so might get better signal..lol

Unlike the iPhone 4S, which contained all the wireless bands in a single device, the new iPhone 5 has two distinct models. On top of that, out of the two distinct models are actually three different sets of wireless network bands supported.

The two model numbers are A1428 and A1429. The 1428 model is a GSM/UMTS device with LTE support in bands 4 and 17. The 1429 model supports CDMA with EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B, GSM/UMTS, and LTE support in bands 1, 3, 5, 13, and 25. The 1429 model is listed again, as a GSM/UMTS model with LTE support in bands 1, 3, and 5.


What does this mean? It means that switching carriers with the same device may prove problematic if you want to continue to use LTE for data. It also means that those that want to switch from a GSM carrier to a CDMA carrier with their iPhone will not be able to do so at all.  If you are the type of person who waits a couple months for the fervor of a new device to subside, then pick up a new or lightly used one on eBay or elsewhere, you will want to play close attention to the model number to make sure it is compatible with your intended carrier.

#1. i think they scrapped NFC, most likely coz they fail to patent it or something. but regardless of that NFC security is still questionable. any1 can pick up ur device and do a purchase

#2 higher front facing camere for better self portrain cam whoring?
the only really reason most of us use front camera is for samsung's "smart stay" 

#3 i suspect same price as current packages + stupidly expensive data/call plan. android plans were always cheaper than apple's for most telco in msia for roughly the same amount of data D:

It will be similar to ip4s prices when launched : RM 2190, RM 2590, RM 2890 for 16 Gb, 32GB, 64 GB respectively

Msian Aple store has now drop off the 32 GB , 64 GB ip4s and left only 16 GB but now at a reduced price RM 1799

The increase in vertical resolution has also allowed Apple to keep the pixel density very high, at 326 ppi, so everything on the screen will appear crystal-clear. In comparison, the Galaxy S III's screen has pixel density of 306 ppi. Another improvements with regards to the screen is in the color saturation field, as the new display is said to be 44% more saturated!

This should make viewing photos and watching video even more enjoyable. Still the color balance should be much more natural than what's observed with AMOLED screens. Due to the new in-cell touch technology used, the touch sensors of the display are now built right into the LCD panel, which should allow for better visibility. Having a more easily readable display under bright daylight would certainly be cool, however, we'll have to test the device personally first, before we can draw any final conclusions.

16 gb is enough. Got sd card is not a problem.

Sp I heard sgp is good.

Originally built for the SGS II by XDA Forum Member slig, DirectoryBind has been confirmed to work on SGS III and Galaxy Tab 2 by many, and may work for more devices too, as long as they are rooted and have a similar partition structure.

As the name suggests, DirectoryBind binds a directory in one location on your device to another. While the concept behind it is similar to symlinking, it uses the bind command instead that makes it work across file systems.

This is particularly important, as the file system used on the external SD Card is usually FAT or FAT32, and the internal one is Ext 3/4, making symlinking impossible.

Do u able to use Link2SD to move apps to external microsd? I tried but can't.

unrooted s3 can ar?

Big difference in video quality if use the mod compared to stock 1?

When Do Bit Rates Matter?

As a general rule, you don’t need to be aware of your bit rate while using a camcorder – just find the recording mode that suits your needs and you’re all set. When buying a camcorder, however, understanding bit rates can come in handy, particularly when evaluating high definition camcorders.

Many HD camcorders will tout themselves as “Full HD” and offer 1920 x 1080 resolution recording. However, not all Full HD camcorders record at the same maximum bit-rate. Consider two hypothetical camcorders: Camcorder A and Camcorder B. Camcorder A records 1920 x 1080 video at 15Mbps. Camcorder B records 1920 x 1080 video at 24Mbps. Both have the same video resolution, but Camcorder B has the higher bit rate. All things being equal, Camcorder B will produce the higher quality video.
