Thanks, I've been meaning to ask this, I saw it and a quick Google came up without any useful results.
I would be interested in knowing.
Can't find any reliable info on what it is/does, but I did come across a post on a different forum with some guys who seemed fairly knowledgeable... they were seeking to remove as much bloatware as possible from a previous LG phone... it wasn't an ancient phone though, fairly recent. Anyway, they were able to disable that program without any ill effects...
As for whether it can be disabled on our phone without causing issues, and whether one could go a step further and just delete it... I think the quickest way would be for somebody to give it a try.
Maybe someone who has additional knowledge of LG/AT&T apks would know specifically what this AAT is for.
Found it.

OK, got my gTablet, installed the Vegan rom after the OTA update. I'm new to Android/tablets, have been noodling around some. BUT: can someone point me to some basic intro to the user interface, Android OS, etc.? I'd like to learn how to do basics like remove apps (and which ones are bloatware), create folders/organize apps, customize the functionality further, etc. Most of what I've pulled up thru searching hasn't covered the basics for a new user. Thx!
Here is the link for the Advent Vega Manual, which tells a
lot about operating the Vegan Tab interface:
http://www.myadventvega.co.uk/manual.pdf
Hope this helps.

Thx! Any pointers to a guide to the general Android OS basics? (I haven't found one yet and I figure someone here might know a really good one.)

I think you'll learn more just messing around with it.

Not necessarily. I get some random pop-up indicators, and can't figure out some basic stuff, or if apps remain running in the background, how to organize the desktop(s), hid/organize icons from the main screen, where to find things in the file sys, etc.
Call me oldschool, but I prefer to actually read a manual or guide (I hate videos--I want to read at MY pace!!) and see just how the system is organized, what can and can't be done, etc. You usually miss a whole lot with the 'just play around with it' approach--I've seen this to be generally true over the past few decades.
hi
here's a little pet peeve of mine
whenever i go to share a picture, website link, etc i am presented with a *huge* list of apps that i could ever possibly use
but here's the truth - i only ever use three (maybe four) of those apps
and, just an extra bonus, those three or four are distributed all up and down that list - and yeah, the gmail icon is at the bottom! lol
is there *any* way to modify that list??
or an app that lets us mod that list??
i'm asking you guys cuz you would know
and... if anybody wants an idea for an app to build... there ya go! i'd pay 99cents (heck, probably even 1.99) for such an app!
and, while i'm asking, i might as well say what would be just killer features ---- allow us to pick the say top five apps that would always show up, and the last entry says "all" so the entire list becomes available
would be good to be able to sort the apps that show up in that list too
anyway.. just gonna throw that out there
??
no one has anything to say about this?
Shame that there are no replies, as this is also bugging me. Here's a bump for the topic.
Annoying me as well. Recently downloaded a QR app and the damn thing added TWO entries. I'd love to be able to remove everything but email, facebook, and messaging...
How can this still be an issue
I can't believe there's no way to filter the list or at least sort the list in order used.
'Intents' and MIME-types
Recently I find that I've become rater annoyed with the list for "share via", and started wondering how I might go about deleting specific items or at the very least rearrange the order in which they appear.
I've been unable to find the answer, as most threads, only consist of the question, and no answers.
I did however find out that what causes an app to appear in the "share via"-list is an 'Intents'-argument with regards to MIME-types (.jpg or .txt etc.) when coding the app.
See: (add the http yourselves, as I'm unable to, with this being my first post)
stackoverflow .com/questions/7891473/how-to-write-an-android-share-plugin
&
stackoverflow .com/questions/3553017/android-share-via-dialog
That means, that in order to remove them from the list, we would need some app, like LBE Privacy Guard, that could limit the "offending" app's 'Intents' in certain regards.
However I've been unable to find anyone that seems to know which file to tweak in order to rearrange the order in which they appear.
I doubt this helps anyone very much, but it may just lead someone on the right path to maybe coming up with a fix for this.
Try 'Andmade Share' from the market, seems like it would be what you're after.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRtYWRlc29mdC5zaGFyZSJd
or
share customizer
Play link
Feature request added at code.google 2012-01-25
It would appear that a feature request has been put in at code.google at 2012-01-25
(Again add the http-part yourselves)
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24741
While we are waiting for this "obvious" feature, the above reply's seem to offer what I'm asking for, at least in an app, though it ought to be built in...
Thx a lot itscro & biopsin
EDIT: I think I'll pass on the Share Customizer, with all the funky (chinese?) writing, and dec. 2011 latest update.
Andmade Share however looks like a winner, and I like the fact, that it doesn't require any permissions...
Awesome. Andmade Share seems to do the trick. Love it when old threads are brought back to life and solve a problem.

Indeed, though it doesn't seem to work on Jelly Bean unfortunately.

Maybe not right now, but give it time, JB isn't exactly widespread just yet.
Such is the cost of being on the bleeding edge...

Its been quite awhile since this thread was active, but I'm hoping someone has something new on this topic. I can't find any other threads that cover this issue...
I need input on if I should keep everything as is or change it to this kind of menu
Code:
Press 1 to root
Press 2 to add gApps
Press 3 to replace system components
I personally like how it is now but want public opinions.
I personally felt that it was fine as is, very simple and straightforward however, if you could make the Root script Unroot too, that would be interesting. Though i have no wants to unroot so i do not know how the process differs from rooting it (i.e. is doable through batch files) so it is even capable of being done that way. My 2 cents for what they are worth.
Also, do not take this as it can't be improved upon as everything can, however even if you didn't it would be fine as is.

I already released a unroot one click app. :|
I think it's fine as is. It's easy enough to understand, once you get everything working properly.
I love the root script it eliminated some force close issues on my device. I was wondering since roms are not avaiable if their could be custom scripts. Maybe a super custom script with three keyboard choices a choice of launchers replaced stock email, stock keyboard,gallery, wallpapers, homecatcher and other enhanced apps. I don't know if this is a direction you want to go just throwing it out there. It might help some new users. Also I dont know if its possible to have shortcuts like any cut has incorperated for debug keyboard and application menus that are hidden. Again just thinking outloud so if this sounds like a big pile of suck please just ignore and move on.

When I ran the script, the last part of nookandzergy that put on a custom keyboard didn't work. So I just reset and did the root with saying no to custom keyboard and it worked fine.
I like your idea. I ran the script in the original thread and it said it was successful. But the android market is hinky. It took dforever to register my device, and now it crashes as soon as it is launched. I did a factory reset, still have the same problem. Is there a way to tell for sure that the root was succesfu,. Thanks btw for your hard work on this. It is greatly admired.
Would it help resolve the driver issue that a lot (me) have had?
Dude thats strictly a windows problem. I swear, trying to get this thing detected properly on windows 7/xp was one of the most frustrating adroid rooting experiences I've ever had. After 3 hours f screwing around with the windows method, I switched to Ubuntu linux and had it rooted in 30 min.
I thought you script was fine as is, this is my first Android device and first experience Rooting and everything seems to be working fine. Thanks

Spoken like a true developer. You craft a thing of beauty and continue to be drawn to making it even cooler.
I don't know if you should rewrite the script or not but I like your attitude!
I decided to not rewrite it to have a numbered menu as that wouldn't go with my idiot pproof batch scripting habits so instead, I added new features yesterday and today.

I think it is working great
I'm currently using the latest MiniCM7 on my X10 mini.
The one app I'm really missing is the official Natwest App. It doesn't appear in the market on my phone and if I look it up on the android market on my computer then I am told it is incompatible. I'm just curious as to whether people on other ROMS are able to download it? Maybe I could modify something to make it compatible.
Apparently a lot of people have had similar problems, trying to run a UK banking app on anything other than a stock ROM.
I had a quick Google hunt about this and quite a few people suggest using the app, Bank Control, which apparently works with Natwest as well as some other banks. Some have talked about editing the phone's build.prop as well.
Not much help, I know, but hopefully this may be useful to you.
I've been reluctant to try Bank Control as its not officially supported by Natwest. I've finally given it a go and now can't register with it for some reason.
I'm interested in modifying the build.prop. People seem to have had success on other phones by editing the ro.build.fingerprint. Could somebody post that line from a stock X10 mini so I could give it a go? Or could I use the ro.build.fingerprint from a different phone without it affecting anything?
Well, I could..but it might be easier if I just gave you the whole thing and you can pick the bits you need..
I've had to zip it because .prop files can't be attached here.
Worked like an absolute charm, thanks a lot!
In case anyone searches for this I changed the ro.build.fingerprint line to
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/U20i_1238-7173/U20i/delta:2.1-update1/2.1.1.A.0.6/-X_d:user/release-keys
Didn't have to change anything else.
No problem, I'm glad it worked out.
First, I just finished reading 50 pages of Chainfire's thread and my eyes have had it. So I have tried to find the answer myself. I'm also posting it here as the hacking thread says "no noobs" so if this isn't the place, please move it for me.
I simply want to know, in lieu of the fact that a lot of apps got updated like crazy after this bug was discovered, I'm thinking that these fixes might be a waste of time for a lot of us as we may have been comprimised already and simply checking SuperSU won't help (apparently).
So my question is, is there a way to 'scan' to see if any app is using the exploit? If not what can be done? ie. remove all apps and reset phone and leave it bare, and change all email passwords etc, until Samsung fixes this huge problem?
Thanks
perhaps some antivirus apps will check this vulnerability soon

You misunderstood, I already know I'm affected. I'm looking for a way to see if any playstore apps have taken advantage of the exploit. I already have Chainfire's fix installed. I'm worried that somebody has already used the expoit. All my apps are from playstore but that doesn't convince me that all playstore devs are "ok". So I want to know if there's a way to see if any app I had already installed before I installed Chainfire's fix is/was taking advantage of the exploit.
Thanks
