I apologize in advance if this belongs in the Q&A section and not here.
There are a no. of apps out there for finding lost devices, but they would all prove useless if the thief disables the GPS.
So, is there any way to prevent GPS from being disabled?

App doesn't matter.
Actually, I don't need the functionality of find lost phone + preventing gps from getting disabled in one app. They could [and probably would] be separate apps too. Or it also may not be an app at all, just some modification/tweak perhaps?

I just got the ability to update to to 4.1.83.
Is this the update with the real new radio that enabled HSDPA+ and etc.
I currently have GreyBlur v2.1 w/ side-loading & tethering & the baseband 1.87 for the "fake enabled better 3G speeds" thing.
Can this new update be rooted, tethered, side-load, etc. Or is it like an entirely new firmware? Is it worth it to get this new update?
I am confused and cannot find a good source, sorry.... Thanks!

My phone has been bugging out way too much, and i want to get a virus program. Which one is the best?
Its pointless from what I understand. There's no real "viruses" for android. Its just a battery killer. But if you insist, avg has a version.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
If it's "bugging out" - have you confirmed it's malware?
95%+ chance it's not - Android malware is extremely rare (especially since Droid Dream variants were pulled from the Market). If you are not an idiot and don't install random stuff from the Market without researching it, you'll be fine. Installing any sort of an antivirus will just make things worse.
This isn't Windows where they're hacking a new security model on top of a fundamentally broken base - Android has a fairly comprehensive security architecture that usually works. (Right now there are no privilege escalation exploits for 2.3.6 and above to my knowledge, and even when zergRush worked, I don't know of any malware that adopted the same exploit.)

Okay maybe you should buy the apps? Instead of "borrow" them and since you download cracked apps you shouldn't post here about you're problems? Just saying.

What he said, and I will add, developers should be compensated for the work they do, buy the app. Don't steal from them, its not like they're expensive.

1. Buy the apps
2. Dont load cracked apps <--- This is why you had a problem to begin with
3. Dont talk about having or downloading cracked apps... because its warez and you dont even want to skate around that park.

Main Issue: No data.

- no data... it attempts to run but unsuccessful
- unable to change sounds (ie ringtone, notification) ... likely need a folder created on sdcard and store miui tones inside to work ... temp fix: use edge app to set different ringtone etc
- user agent for browser thinks its a desktop but doesn't load mobile layout for device ... temp fix: menu > advanced > user agent > change android to iphone
- themes app fc but works by accessing through the menu

A mod can remove this thread if there's a concern otherwise I'll remove once the dev makes a post. Nevertheless, the dev made it public posting it on dev-host for all.
p.s. - I agree with you, but you must also understand this is open source code and XDA is a community driven site and we should share with another to make our devices the absolute best that they can be. One should be concerned if one is taking ownership for someone else's work or turning a profit, in the mean time you can rest assure your statement is valued.

We do have a policy (XDA Rule 12) and it does not cover reposting anything you might find. It doesn't matter if it is for profit or not, if it is their work then they get to dictate whether to allow others to re-share it. Open source code does not mean free rein to do anything you wish with the code. I agree that it would be nice if everyone freely offered all of their work on XDA, but that seems pretty unlikely and unenforceable anyways.
Now, given that this ROM does not appear to have come from someone registered here on XDA, at least not with his dev-host username, I won't take it down unless contacted. I will move it to General though as it isn't your work.

We do communicate, and still the same questions get asked over, and over, and over. It can become a bit frustrating after awhile.
9 times out of 10, if you simply copy and paste the OP's question into Google the answer will pop right up in the first couple of results.
I will say the same thing I said on a different thread...
When a question is asked people who know the answer have two options...
A) You choose to answer the question
B) You choose not to answer the question...
To come up with a smartass remark while NOT answering the question makes you a special kind of douchebag.
If a person is posting in this forums is because they were searching. Nobody comes to this forums as their first instinct...they find these forums because they are searching the answer to a question.
