Is it possible to creat an app or to develop a program that would temporarily defeat a security system including but not limited to a motion/heat sensor. If so where would one find more information on this? This is for purely business purposes.

Sure strictly business. Why we're at it can an app that can generate debt card pin numbers in under 1 minute.
I don't think there is an app like you want and if there was this is probably the wrong place to find it.

Security Bypass
I actually work for a security division and we are trying to find all thew possible wqays to defeat a preiously installed motion detector. I know little to nothing about programming or developing and am wondering if a program could be made to disable an alarm system briefly.

Why wouldn't the owner just call and cancel the monitoring service?

I think hes asking if one exists or is possible to create so they can take preventative measures . If this is what youre asking. I dont think so. Not anymore than a computer. Im sure where there is a will theres a way.

Unfortunately even if it's true that you work for a security company there's no way to verify it and even then any information shared here on a public forum could easily be used by people with the wrong intentions so I highly doubt you'll find anything.

Has anyone conducted security audits of the major custom ROMs that are available? I imagine it would be trivial to install a backdoor of some sort deep inside a custom ROM that only seasoned developers poring through the code would be able to find. Just to be clear, I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I'm just asking if this has been done and by whom, and if so, what the findings are.
I ran shark for root once, for 24 hours with data connection enabled but didn't find anything fishy in the dump. On one of the leading rom. I think devs have better things to do than spy on us.

Can't deny the possibility. But so is it with anywhere on internet.

Am curious as to what security app you guys use to protect your phone from malware etc.
There are so many out there such as Lookout, Avg, GuardX etc. so would like to know what you recommend and why, especially something with low battery consumption.
I was going to try Lookout but have read something about them passing your info to 3rd parties!!!

I am fairly certain lookout does NOT do anything like that, but if you have a link to what you saw, I will certainly look into it and speak to my contact there.
I use lookout myself, and I can assure you that AVG isn't a proper AV app...
It simply looks at the package name to decide if it's harmful... So if you take the hello world sample, and name it org.example.malicious.app (you'd need to use one in their database), the hello world sample would show as malicious...
They classified superuser app as malicious... So take a look at http://androidsu.com/2011/06/a-word-about-superuser-and-security/
By extension of this, a malicious app can simply be renamed, and it gets past AVG... I could write a script that would serve up an APK purporting to be something, which would have a different random name each time (dictionary words perhaps), and which would get past AVG...
Lookout certainly appears to me to be scanning the applications correctly. I am pretty sure I've tried renaming the malware internally (reverse engineering a virus sample) and it was detected fine...
I use LBE Privacy Guard (rooted with the stock rom) to control permissions on a per app basis.
That and not pirating apps goes a long way.

Is the AVG used on Android different from that used on Windows apart from the different operating system that is ?
I use androids own security software
Thanks guys for your input.
Thankfully the common sense app is available in my area and is also a non-piracy zone (you've got to be a real tight arse to begrudge paying a few pounds for such great apps).
Will try and find where i read about Lookout but in the meantime may give it a go from pulser_g2's recommendation or try LBE.

I am not too keen on the way in which it goes about doing what it does... I ain't a fan of injecting code before the dalvik layer...
If you have utmost trust in whoever made it, fair enough. But I am not certain it's the best way to do it technically... I don't have enough trust in something to let it hook in early like that tbh...
So there's got to be some app which does the job properly? Or is there none? Are you telling me there is not a single antivirus/internet security app for android mobile phones out there???
Come on, fellas......give some meaningful recommendations. Straight question......What's the best app out there for guarding your phone on the internet?
What about Kaspersky mobile security, Netquin anti virus, McAfee wavesecure, Webroot security anti virus???
Has anyone used them? What's the opinion of the senior tech gurus here about them? Honest answers would be appreciated so that we can arrive at a consensus "best antivirus/internet security" app out there.

Yeah that's the problem, I don't trust him at all. It's some chinese guy who don't answer questions on xda. But apparently someone from Lookout checked the app out, and it's clean. But I guess it's unnecessary if you use common sense anyway.

OK, so I want to begin developing Android ROM's. I have the necessary technical knowledge and I have access to Ubuntu 64-bit with more than 100gb of Free disk space.
Where do I start?
How do I edit Android, I.e - theme it, change text etc.
Thanks.

Not very intuitive at all...its easier to Google it then click back to the xda link than to try an find it here....just sayin.

Yes I have been using this for years too and never attempt searching on the site or app. Google will help my the site brings up non related content. Also first on xda university. I need to enroll. Where does the line start and how much is tuition? Guess I will have to Google it and see what it is all about.

Kinda guessed that the reply would be "Use the search". I haven't yet seen a guide that shows screenshots of what the code actually does. I.e: before a code change the ui looks like this [Insert screenshot here] and after the code change a Ui looks like this [Insert screenshot here].
I've seen developers create features for their ROMs, like quick settings in notifications and stuff like that. Building the ROM is one thing but adding features is another. I wish their was a complete guide out their.
A lot of xda threads are becoming more like court cases nowadays. I see people with feature requests and then the developer just rudely says "Thanks for Sharing!" And takes no notice as if what someone said was pointless.

That would probably be because it has been asked a few million times (yes, it's an exaggeration but I think you get my point).
A lot of people will be very helpful if you come in here and show that you tried to figure out something on your own. I've read all of this or searched Google and the site and haven't found the info. However, when you come here and ask a question that has been posed over and over again you can start to get a bit of an attitude. It's generally because you have shown no initiative to look or get the info yourself.
Would the guide you want be helpful? Sure would. It's not though so one has to a lot of digging to get the info. That is one of the ways you learn how to do things here at XDA. Then, after learning one can go out and write the guide that is missing.
Here is something for you. A thread explaining how to use Google to search XDA specifically. It's located in a specific device forum but is good for everything (and no, I have never owned a Hermes. I found it by searching ).

Let's take 'em to court, and have a judge command them to give their code to us. I invented a way in 2012 to unlock the bootloader, and want to make sure that they don't have my Intellectual Property.
Good luck with that
I will sign on to this if you join my suit to force banks to publish everyone's pin codes on their websites. I'm tired of banks thinking we can't be trusted to have access to other people's accounts without stealing from them.

Do you not have anything else better to do?
As this will surely go downhill (as it already has) and is not really device specific, I will be closing this one.
I was wondering if anyone has a Pandora .apk file enables unlimited skips, disables advertises and supports AVRCP. Thanks in advance.
I thought Pandora was closed-source. Chances of finding this are slim. I, however, would definitely be interested in this... if it exists.

We do not do "cracked" stuff like that here at XDA, "taking away" code that deprives developers of ad revenue, or revenue of any type that pays for their efforts in developing things is not what XDA is for.
