Something educational, should any of you decide to go down this path

The Common Methods of Hardware Hacking
https://www.sparkfun.com/news/1314

It talks about general ideas related to "hacking" as in making your device/equipment do what you WANT it to do.

Maybe some think it the 3310?

So when are you getting yours

Nice. Added post 14.

Good one.....wonder how the Note 2 will take it.

Maybe you need to see an optometrist, or even an ophthalmologist, if you keep seeing dirty things that are not there in posts Perhaps an exorcist may help too?

So for the flashoholics:

S600....not satisfactory enough for spec whores. Plus the pricing isn't bang enough for the buck.

G2 seems like a good idea. Good price too.

Then again Lumia 1520 is also s800 and 6". Otherwise Note3

Best comparison ever:

Errrr..............Knox UNINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FROM SAMSUNG

And Abyss Kernel for 0x1ers

It's a dl link, the original thread is an Italian forum by the XDA-banned dev.

SOT (Screen On Time) of 5 hours is GOOD.

Do add yourself via the form in post 4.

This only uninstalls the userland app. The bootloader Knox is still there.

Adam Outler made a comment on Security on G+ although I don't know what he's exactly referring to:

*Did you know that every AT&T/Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 device has a huge security vulnerability that you can't patch? *
Same goes for the Note 3! You know what's more important than Carrier Unlocking? Bootloader unlocking.

While politicians are arguing over being able to use your phone on a different network at the end of your contract there's a huge security issue plaguing Android. This issue is compounded by the fact that even though there are fixes available, those with the knowledge cannot fix them because modifying the kernel is prohibited by the boot loader under policies enforces by the carriers, and implemented by manufactures designed to prohibit you from being able to do things which they didn't intend for you to do with your device.

This would be fine, except it takes months for the manufacturers and carriers to apply their tweaks to the latest versions of android/kernels and deploy them.

On the other hand, hacker tools like Xposed and +Jay Freeman's Substrate can have the necessary modifications available within hours, for every device. But again, with an locked bootloader, many times it is impossible or impractical for any user to be able to apply an exploit, and then a security-enhancing modifications to their device.. Especially before the bad guys apply the exploit, their tweaks, and a patch to ensure it cannot be removed.

In 1 year, every carrier-provided Galaxy S4 will hit its 18-month update window and become a huge security risk. The Galaxy S3 stops receiving updates in 6 months. The Galaxy S2 has already stopped. These devices are not just a risk, but a security hazard to even have share a WiFi network with a desktop compute (especially Windows). So we really need to stop beating around the bush with requesting carrier unlocks and ask for bootloader unlocks.


UPDATE: This is the vulnerability (Adam Outler provided the link to my question)

Looks like our wonderful friends at vroot are using this vulnerability to make rooting possible.

You can make S-Voice become your hands free note taking assistant

How come you can quote so many people? I thought there was a 5 quote limit ?

Did you root MJ1 then flashed to MJ7 with Mobile Odin Pro?

Samsung has released sources for N900xx

http://opensource.samsung.com/

Type N900 in the search box at the top

Sure, that's correct if you're rooted already, but this means your Knox is also 0x1 right from using the Odin rooting method?

Good for you then.

For added protection, get a casing that covers the full bezel, like Neo Hybrid or Slim Armor. See post 14 for case pics.

I think there's no specific calibration app, you need to hit the *#0*#

S View case doesn't really offer protection because the bezel is not covered. This incident is that proof.
