Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for virus scanners that can help add security for my phone and make me feel like it's more secure.
Thanks

Huge resource hog. As for protection, hard to say, there aren't many Trojans or whatever out there yet.

Is that what you'll tell Verizon when you need to make a warranty claim? If so, I'll keep that one in mind.

Really ? I've had it on a few rims, and haven't had any issues. I don't think I had it, when I tried the carbon one though . I had too many issues to even try to put apps on it.

In all reality unless you're downloading a bunch of random stuff there's no need for it. I personally have never used it or had a virus. I see them as resource hogs in all reality, but to each their own.

I can verify that Avast is a nice antivirus on Android, It is completely free (no subscriptions) and has a built in Anti-Theft which is one of the best on android (On par with Cerberus) and is also completely free.
Webroot is awesome. 3 pc's and 2 mobile protections in one box. It even has its own secure browser for mobile. I highly recommeend it
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I use the free version of Lookout, and I agree with others that Avast is another good one.
I use avg antivirus all the time on my android devices. It scans nearly all of my downloads.

The 2.06 update pops up every time I unlock my phone. I'm walking to the store, I look at my phone and behold its installing the 2.06 update on its own. Well played Verizon. The thought of selling this phone never crossed my mind, but since 2.04 root is priority over 2.06 I'm highly considering it.

It's not about how good stock is or isn't. It's about being able to do what you want.
Go try and use teamviewer or a vnc server. Need root.
How about Wi-Fi tether that doesn't require a screen password. Need root
Titanium backup? Nope... root.
Game cheat engine's... root
So while the stock interface is fine, no unrooted phone can do the above without it.

I use crossbreeder mod on 4.2 and it does an amazing job of blocking literally all ads in any app I use. Not to mention it makes my phone faster (entropy levels). Using it on 4.3 is useless due to 4.3 ignoring net.dns1. Most likely Google is getting smart lol! Has anyone had any luck finding some way to block ads on 4.3?

Well here's an interesting article as to why there's no ad blocking apps currently available. We're going to have to develop the app or APK to block them as nothing inside of the Playstore is going to do the job. Apparently google paid off Adsplus to NOT block their ads.

Are you just not able to get it from the Play Store? Or does it not work on 4.3?

Same here. I tried to find your model with a quick Google search, and nothing came up. It could be fairly similar, or different enough where our unlock and s-off methods would brick your device. ROMs may have the same outcome.

When I first got this device, I read a forum on Android central that pushed me towards using the butterfly version of twrp. It didn't work so I tried the dna file and it worked perfectly. I know the 2 phones share some of the same numbers, like the hoot and a couple more. Also I seen on a cyanogenmod 10.2 screen shot, that it uses the same kernel numbers 3.4.10 I think.

Got cm10.2 installed!! Everything is working. I really like it so far. I thought I was stuck in a bootloop for a minute. Everything loaded fine after initial boot. I brushed through the screens and checked the software version and went back home. From there I selected reboot and it got hung up on like the second HTC screen. I waited like five minutes and nothing happened. So I held the power button down and the home screen popped up. Maybe I just didn't wait long enough. Everything I use frequently is working fine.

Found it
the htc 6435lra is the model number for the htc deluxe
The HTC deluxe is an exact clone of the DNA with the exception that its not made for Verizon(it says HTC above the screen not Verizon) it also has been "repackaged" for use the with the local cellular service provider Cellcom of Wisconsin(now I know where you live )
It basically has different drivers(maybe hardware, probably not) than the DNA and should be treated as a GSM DNA

They must be part the LTE Rural America (LRA) agreement as well. The local/small carriers put up Verizon LTE sites and they get some roaming benefits. That's why the spec number was 6435lra instead of 6435lvw.
Cool, I didn't really know what LRA was, I assumed the r and a were for regional appalachian. I'm pretty sure the phone is cdma because I don't have any of the GSM modes selected in settings.

This could be the flu talking but, who knows.. Maybe all the backlash was actually heard at how ridiculous their update process is at Verizon.. I mean, we did just get a pretty big update.. and this already starting? You never know...
I'm surprised they are even still updating the phone its beyond a year and usually Verizon stops so we are forced to buy the latest and greatest device, unless you unlock and flash custom roms.

Checking his feed for news or responses and Verizon was the second to approve the One update. Now for HTC to make the DNA 4.4 that can go through approval... Which by history, I'd say might never happen given the age of the device compared to the One.
