Rooted my phone using the Vroot method and did some surveying with permission manager, xPrivacy and I stumbled upon a mysterious app called MtkCamera (com.example.cameraroot). I have no recollection of ever installing this app. I find this suspicious because I use permission manager on other phones running ICS and never have to deal with this app before. Considering all the apps listed are installed from Google Play Store, I decided to restrict all permission and uninstall the app. Check out the permissions list.

I removed it right after I found its existence.
If root fail then we see toast notifications that restore successful and this app we can see in multitask... I think it is for reverting back if root fails...

Mmmh this doesn't sound good.
Was about to root my newly received Ultra

I'm not convinced. Looking at the network permissions, it doesn't make sense why it would need to control network access.

If you not sure if you want to remove it yet, put it behind a firewall
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jtschohl.androidfirewall
or freeze the app
appreciate the warning
Any devs here want to decompile it and see what it does?

I rooted with Vroot, installed english SU and then removed the Chinese SU using the vroot app and I don't have the app installed.
Removed it as soon as I saw it. Better not run it, and remove it does nothing to the root.

Sure, but what does it do? Does it steal your contacts? Send SMS'? Log your IMEI? Log your keystrokes? Or is it nothing out of the ordinary? Who knows!
I could decompile it myself, but I have no idea what to look for, so that's a complete waste of time.
We can make a game out of this. Post what you think it does, and we'll see who wins The winner gets an Xperia Z1 (image from the internetz).

A quick Google search reveals that "MTK" is MediaTek, a Taiwanese semiconductor company that's in the smartphone business, so I guess that's something? Still doesn't tell us why MediaTek's camera thingy is installed on some Ultras, though.

I vrooted too.
Is this thing only visible when using certain security apps?
I cannot find it in list of settings〉apps
I cannot see such process running either. I have not uninstalled anything since vroot

So the reason some people do not have can be simply because they do not have a TW firmware. Have a TW firmware and got it after vroot. But where would be the point for vroot to put a malicious apps on your phone when they can do anything they want while rooting your device? Maybe you should not take your phone with you on the bathroom, they may record you hahahaha.

So you don't find the following permissions suspicious?
Change network connectivity
Connect and disconnect wifi
Full network access
View network connection
View wi-fi connection
Pair with bluetooth devices
Allow wifi multicast reception
Call me paranoid, but I think this is a spying app...
this app with us from the beginning.
this is what I found -platform for the bottom and top of the camera for a detailed explanation of the process and the introduction of the frame code
that does seem suspicious.
Is the view that this root method is trustworthy?
Trying to weigh up if all is well before I root.

I had the same thing on my end, even with a proxy. I found this apk from the internet, and it seems to work. There is guarantee that the apk is safe, other than that it works for me:

I downloaded old version of an app and when i run the app it says that i need to update then I used Apkeditor to modify the app version number to the newest, it worked for few days but now it says that i have to update. knowing that there is no new updates to modify the app to. is there any other ways to run the old version?
you can use firewall for preventing an app to connect to his server for update, also can change date of your phone to old date

what do you mean with use firewall
You can block the server that the app uses to connect and fetch updates. That way, the app will not know that there is a new update since it cannot access the server to fetch a new version number, allowing you to keep your old version. However, eventually the app will become so old that it will not be able to access its API anymore, so just keep that in mind.

You can try using the cheatdroid app
If the app stores a file for 'app version' , you can modify the file to make the app believe it's on a different version
It's not as difficult as it seems you will get hold of it once you download the app
Note: Root is needed

To apply it you have to go to the themes app that came with the phone. Them click on the tab that says "me" on the bottom right, then click customize and click on text and your downloaded font should be in there.

I'm in the UK. But did you click on the tab that says Me on the bottom right of the themes home screen or click on customize whatever you downloaded with the other themes manager should show up. Maybe you could reboot or close the stock themes app and reopen it so it can refresh. I didn't have to reboot though.

Oh no thats unfortunate. What about sideloading the latest apk? For some reason I can't post any files with this xda app for a while now. Says I don't have persission and I've been a member for nearly 10 years with no problems. Else I'd post it here for you. Wonder If a moderator could check that out for me?

Tried it, works really well ! It's awesome for sending images and files over your PC easily, and copy / paste text. I was also impressed by the latency of the screen mirroring, pretty good.

You need to get yourself an Bluetooth USB dongle, but i think it will not work because you need to get and an NFC card reader, too
If you buy those 2 items, you'll get yourself NFC+Bluetooth on your DESKTOP PC

I'm not using it, just did the test to see if it works (and it works on me, because i have Bluetooth& NFC card reader on my laptop, near palm rest, left side of laptop) and how it works.
I'm using Huawei Share to send/recieve files over WiFi (from my laptop to my phone and viceversa) and WhatApp Web, if need it. But i guess it's helpfull for users who send a lot of RCS/SMS over Messages app or need to fast transfer files between devices.
So maybe someone else who use it might get you a better opinion :silly:
