Why Remix OS spy my life ? - Remix OS for PC

During a carving file on Remix OS usb key (persitent mode), I found screenshots of each window that I opened (panel settings, google chrome, play store, ...) no application is immune. Anyone have explanations ?

I don't have this on my system :-\

Is your "Print Screen" key pressed down?
This is quite concerning if true. I am however unable to reproduce this. Where are the screenshots located?

This is about HFS+ and iOS but something similar might be happening with Android and NTFS.

Hi !
I am a friend of the author of the topic and I discovered these troubling screenshots with him.
To start, we installed Remix OS on a new USB key, on persistent mode, and my friends used it during few days.
Today, by curiosity I launch a file carving operation with a tool called Foremost which is usualy used to recover deleted files.
Firstly plug the usb key to a Linux computer,
- Identify the key with the following command: #fdisk -l
- Then launch Foremost like this: #foremost -t png /dev/sdX
Now you can go to the output folder and explore the many .png files, there are mainly systems files, but among all these files we have found a lot a very small screenchots taken without our knowledge, I've put a few of them in attachments.
We can see tow types of screenshots,
- small part of the screnn 420*420px, <50ko
- full windows 420*420px, <50ko
I find it strange and I would like to know what you think and if you can reproduce this.

I still cannot reproduce it.
Tho the fact that Jide is in China is concerning.
What country are you from? Perhaps its a government spying op

I'm from France but i think it had nothing to do with where i live, it's the official image downloaded from the official website (the md5 is correct).
I just created a bootable usb key and i still found this type of screenshot.
Have you well checked among all images ?
The majority of them are just files system but there are some small screenshots of all actions that are done.
And I find it strange, I am not suggesting that is chinese spying but I just want to understand.

I don't think, there is no NTFS partition on Remix OS.

(I thought the usb you were using/scraping might have been ntfs)
File system doesn't matter I believe ; ( -- perhaps as long as it's journalled). Without seeing the full extent of the images; I/we can only guess - but as data recovery programs like the one you used just searches the raw data on the disk for everything that has valid header/data/footer i.e. hasn't been overwritten; all it would take is an image cache stored for perhaps graphics/animation purposes and as long as it hasn't been overwritten these will be scraped; also the sleep mechanism/some sort of swap file could also cache current screen contents to a file that would be scraped.
Again without seei g the full extent/location of the jpgs it's hard to say either way.

What this is is probably recent tasks. On any android device you will find images of recent tasks as a snapshot of everything.

Screen shots of my current device.

Missed one.

The XML files are of what task is currently running and which ones have stopped.

If you notice my recent apps correspond to the images in root/data. There is nothing suspect going on just android working. If you are worried use two step verification for you accounts.

lol its a recent task android system u guys..

Android uses screenshots of your tasks to show it on Recent Apps Panel. Those screens are not showed in gallery because in the same place there is a file named ".nomedia". Once you close one task or one another screenshot of the same app is taken, the old one is deleted automatically. Most of Android devices do that.

Yes, that's what you said, but with some other details. No need to be angry, tho. Calm down, man.
Here, many people try to help on many and different ways. 3 people helping is better than just 1. A info by 3 people is more reliable than a info by 1 which nobody else confirms. One more time, calm down.

Are those images still there if you restart the device?

PocketScreen 1.3 (10-11-2007)

I was looking for a tool to make screenshots of my phone. But I couldn't find the 'perfect' app for it. So I wrote a tool myself.
It's called PocketScreen. It's been written in VB.NET so you need the .NET Compact Framework for it.
Attached is a screenshot of the application.
You can set a timer from 1 to 60 seconds (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 or 60 seconds)
Further you can decide to exit or focus the application after capture.
The supported filetypes are *.bmp, *.jpg, *.gif or *.png.
When you press the capture button it will automatically minimize the application.
I've tested this on a Wizard only but it should work on any PocketPC with .NETCF 2.0 installed.
Updates
Version 1.3 (10-11-2007)
Some users who tested the application reported an error when opening the directory browser. I cannot reproduce the error but I tried to 'fix' the error.
- Option focus and exit application after capture changed. Now either focus or exit must be selected to prevent the program to stay minimized in memory.
- Directory browser updated. Root is not shown.
- When an error occures while displaying the directory browser a window will be displayed with the error message. (please report)
- Subdirectories will not appear twice (or more) anymore after expanding/collapsing multiple times.
Version 1.2 (07-11-2007, 20:30)
- Settings will be saved on exit. (and will be loaded on startup, of course)
- It's possible to set the number of captures.
Version 1.1 (06-11-2007, 16:00)
- The default save as dialog has been replaced by a new directory browser. Now it's possible to choose a subdirectory to store the captured screenshot.
Nice one Rhapsody - works nicely and the ability to save to multiple file formats is great.
Apprecaite it
Appears very nice...this could be the new "screen capture" app everyone includes in their roms instead of Pocket screen Capture which will only save to the temp dir and will only save in .bmp
great tool, thank you for developing this useful app.
Works on the AXIM x50v with WM5.0 ROM A03
Thanks
Thanks for the comments! Hopefully we'll see some more threads with screenshots over here
In addition it should be great if the application could take a screenshot on a button pressure...

Rhapsody,
Just figured I'd ask..I'm sure someone will build one if not....do you have an oem package version of the screen capture program for inclusion as a package in a rom? It's basically a zip with the exe and registry entries in a certain format with the executables compressed with upx.
I may try to build one..I'm new to the rom cooking business so usually I just grab ready made packages but if the registry entries are minimal I can probably figure it out.

Unfortunately I don't have a 'oem package'. If you want to try; please go ahead
The application doesn't use any registry at all. So I think the only settings which are stored in the registry are the shortcuts.
Thanx for this great app, just what i needed...Thanx
Nice App, trying it on my TyTN II. It works, but some things are not functioning.
(I have it installed on my storage card.)
Changing the location for where to save the image is not sticky. Also, cannot specifiy a directory to save to that is within another directory.

What do you mean with 'sticky' ? The app does not remember the location.

Correct, by Sticky I mean the app does not remember the location.
As for the default folder browser...this is all I get, one directory deep, there is no way to specify a directory within these directories: (see attached image).

[App Nov. 4 2009] ToDo List Program

Update 5/26/10The screen on my winmo phone broke about 2 weeks ago, and since then also one of the buttons on the front came off. I wasn't sure I wanted to continue with Windows Mobile considering their lack of support for older versions in Windows 7 phone, so I got an Android phone, a used G1. I'm not sure I'll continue to develop for Winmo.
So far I'm very impressed with what I see from the G1, but of course there are some apps missing, so my first priority will probably be to get some of my Winmo programs ported to Android. Sorry
This is a program to organize todo's/tasks in a treeview form.
It's a mobile version of the ToDoList program found at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/todolist2.aspx
and http://www.abstractspoon.com/index.htm
Features:
Views based on grouping by date, folder etc.
Filter out completed task
Items can be Flagged so they stand out
Have priority and risk attached
Can be recurring
Can be exported to Pocket outlook
Can have status and categories
Can have completion percentage
Can have estimated time attached
++​
If the list files are kept in the My Documents folder, they will be synchronized between the desktop and the mobile version.
In order to add categories and status options, you enter settings from the file menu. There you can also set whether you want to show the details or the comments (notes) for the item.
If the field is too short, it can be adjusted by dragging the divider line between the field and the list.
There is a shortcut toolbar that can be shown by clicking on the ^, next to Filter on the toolbar.
To edit an item, tap and hold to get the menu.
This is still being developed as a hobby, and is not a final version (in particular "filter", "group by" and list view need more work). It is being developed as I see fit, have time and am interested in doing it. THERE IS NO WARRANTY THAT THIS PROGRAM WILL WORK ON YOUR Pocket PC / Mobile phone. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE IT MAY CAUSE.
That being said, it seems to be quite stable on my HTC T-Mobile Wing, Mobile 6.1 and an old Dell Axim, Pocket PC 2003.
I have used it for a couple of years and maybe someone else finds it useful.
This program was developed based on the source code found on http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdl-wm5/
Since the original desktop version of this program is constantly being developed, some of the features available on the desktop might not work on the Pocket PC version.
Installation:
After unzipping the files, copy the "TdlToDo" directory to "\My Documents" on your Pocket PC.
The program file itself, "ToDoList.exe", can be anywhere on your Phone/Pocket PC (on a storage card if you want).
Uninstall:
Delete the "TdlToDo" dirctory in "\My Documents".
Delete "ToDoList.exe"
Delete "ToDoList" directory under "\Application Data" directory.
thx pal this is awesome.
throw in a Finger Friendly interface and then we have a great app...

Fair comment although I have actually been working on a large button menu and the ability to focus the task list on a particular task also I was working on syncronisation with outlook appointments, not just export. I could really do with doing another release and updating the homepage as there have been several changes since it was last done.

Sorry, but I didn't mean my criticize.
As for large button menu, do you mean to make it more finger friendly like the commenter above was asking?
And synchronizing could be a good idea. So would you then be able to turn it on or off, considering you don't want all the lists/items synchronized? Synchronize individual tasks? Based on categories?
I haven't looked at the code in a long, long time, so if I release it, I need to clean it up a bit.

Its just like you say on individual tasks although not based on categories, I've added two extra attributes to the XML one for enable/disable and one for the OutlookID.

I'm sure my code wouldnt be much better and I wouldnt judge you on it, I've taken andy aspell-clarke's code and extended on it for my version, I'm not dissing his code at all but Its certainly not using coding standards that I would so I'm adaptable with it and would love to add to your code if you're interested?
BTW are you using C# or unmanaged code? my source is in C# and I'm not that familiar with C++(but would certainly have ago!)

bear in mind the menu is still in private testing(although in full use)
the outlook integration has not been fully implemented yet and was a few months ago since I have done any work on it, although it was creating new appointments and updating them both ways on the mobile device,
IIRC the appointments transfer correctly to desktop outlook although there is no support in Dan.g's desktop todolist
BTW how are you handling the xml?
the source I started with is using xmlreaders and writers although I am currently in the process of converting the whole thing to XMLDOC as I find it more straightforward to work with.

I used a modified KList (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1546662&postcount=1) in my hgAgenda and hgToday programs. Take a look, that might be something to use. It can be scrolled, so it could be long if necessary.

Yes, I know it's not supported in the desktop program, but if you open a list in the desktop program, will it mess up the info for the outlook integration, or is that info kept intact?

Support for hgtdlToDo
I just found this program, and WOW!
I have been using happyjackroad IdeaLibrary, which while a great program is "abandonware" and hasn't been updated in years. It also doesn't have any meaningful desktop support. So I recently went looking for a useful hierarchical list manager, with sync to desktop, and freeware versions for both PPC and PC. Print would be a plus as well. ToDoList fits the bill!
There are at least two ports from the PC to the PPC, and this one looks really good. I've been using it for a couple of days, and like it.
Three questions:
* It is at version .1 -- while the product is stable, that indicates to me that there have been exactly one public version, and it's not even a "final" version. While it be developed more?
* Is there a forum where it is discussed? This thread on XDA-Developers is about the only thing that Google found. It'd be great to find a forum.
* And, the reason I'm here. I installed it, and it works well. However, it will only open the last file saved (basically, auto-open on start). I can't get ANY files to show in the file open screen. Any thoughts? It's a HP HX2490b flashed to a custom WM 6.1 Classic ROM.
Thanks -- and keep it up!

It's working well for me, but I'm open to suggestions. However, there aren't many comments on the usability, so I assumed that people are either happy with the program as it is, or they downloaded it to try, but are not using it.

I have a web page http://sites.google.com/site/ajiget/programs/home for the program, but otherwise this is the only place I know of that has any activity for my program.

Yes, I'm not happy with the file manager part. This is how it was originally (not my code). So when you open up the program and you want another file, the program should go back to the program's file manager. There you have to add the tdl files, that you want the program to open. So are you saying that when you click file, and close that it doesn't go to the filemanager, or that you can only see one file there?
Thanks -- and keep it up!

Without comments, I haven't been inspired to work on the program, but let me know what you think, and maybe I'll do something again.
Sorry, I dropped my post and ran! But I'm back.
I don't have any real comments on the usability, so your reasons for not updating seem fair enough. I'm learning more, and it is making more sense. Actually, I'm using the desktop version VERY heavily, and printing out hardcopy lists, and so the PPC version is becoming more of a handy reference for when I don't happen to have my list. Still, very helpful.
But with regard to the file manager, I figured it out, and it works fine. The file manager is not simply a list of compatible files, it is a list of "added" files. Once I realized that I have to "add" a file before I can see it, it works just fine.
Thanks for the response. And now that I've found you, I'll send you feedback if I come up with any.
Thanks for the program. I am a rabid WinCE user (that tells you how long I've been one -- 1998 was my first in black and white), and a key element of program selection for me is compatible desktop applications.

Question - Batch Files & WinMo

I have a question about WinMo / Batch files
I want to keep 'certain' images in one folder, along with 2 batch files
show.bat
hide.bat
If hide.bat is executed it converts all the file extensions (.jpg) to .895 (or anything random)
If show.bat is executed it reverses the process.
Where as this entire process is working flawlessly on the PC the batch files do not execute on Winmo, what is the way around?
I feel this should be the easiest way to hide unwanted content when you leave your phone unattended around home or work OR worse, give it to your partner to play with
thanks

P.S. - if there is already a utility that does that please let me know!

Folder called .skynet

Hey, anyone knows what is this?
I don't know how, but there's a persistent folder /sdcard/.skynet
I can erase it, but after a restart, there is, the folder is back.
Already scanned for viruses with a lot of apps and airpush... I have no idea what this can be.
Suggestions?
Edit: Folder contents:
/sdcard/.skynet/.service/
- service_ad_start_point
- skynet.db

The search gives me an error. But manually searching at playstore for "skynet".. and no, I haven't none installed here.
Funny thing is my apps are the same for a long time. The only thing that I installed recently here is Airpush detector and the antivirus apps such as Avast, Lookout and Zoner.
data shipped to china
Haven't found all details yet, but enough to reply. Hopefully this helps others.
.skynet folder is related to china company idreamsky. Data captured, that i know of so far: As you launch any app on your phone, package name is added to db as a new row. Suspected but yet unverified, that info is shipped to idreamsky via TLS.
I was working on MITM to see what is shipped but hit a snag...it all quit when i upgraded to ICS. It was collecting and transmitting something when i had 2.3.6 on my razr.
The actual problem child in my case was found to be jet pack joyride from halfbrick. I didn't check to see if fruit ninja was also doing this. However, from my research, it looks like any other apps could also be the culprit if those devs also teamed up with idreamsky.
If halfbrick is not the issue in your case, a simple check of apps running after reboot will likely bear fruit (pun intended).
I have just bought a used tablet myaudio 7 and i also found this wierd skynet file, I thougt this is some kind of a backdoor or some malware so I did a
hard reset on my tablet
but after the hard reset the hidden .skynet folder is still there, and there are two batch files named secure.bat and securenew.bat with a hexadecimal string in the secure.bat.
the other file is some kind of a long version number. 2367r796n............_..................
mobgi and pictures folder? WTF?
what is this? is it take a screenshot from your face and sending to NSA?
or to the chinese nsa

File Explorer for wp8

I know much of developers says.. why should i develop a great file explorer i can't root....
but im think some developer has great ideas too root it and im think wp8 is perfect with a great file explorer that can be
-- Look up files on sd card and devices
- extract and packed *.Zip files
- Send files per bluetooth
- Make a file share for lan!!! -> share it on local network
. supports a windows Local Network share in a lan to connect to computer and otherwise
- Mark up fileas and folder Copy /Past / cut
as how total commander or windows explorer look up
root can be able if one devolepr release a root and if it is not avable share the files that unroot aviable
note: a developer becomes a root certification too root the device as developer ...
Easy for you to say, impossible for us to do.
Step by Step ???
or is it technickal a problem to show files from basic files like music / fotos / documents /videos and sd data a tool that show it is this possible?

It is impossible. Don't think we didn't think about it. The system simply does not allow third parties to check on the file system.
Rooting seems impossible right now too.

We still don't have any solutions yet... Don't bank on rooting being possible yet. The article about the root certificate shows SOME promise, but doesn't make anything possible. Even though WinRT and WP8 run a similar kernel, there are some differences to the certificates. All we can do right now is wait.

this is an article about reading from the SD Card. Yes, that is possible but it means nothing to getting root access right now. You still canNOT read from outside of the Documents, Music, Pictures folders and the isolated storage of the local app you are trying to read. As long as you can't touch the System partition, you won't be able to do anything. So we are back at square one mate

but a file Manager that reads documents photos and sdcard is missing as simmilar as a Version that has root accses
im missing usb thetering on phone
Microsoft decided that phone apps should not be able to read most common file formats. We can't even read a god forsaken XML file from SD cards.

You truly are NOT getting the point are you... lol.
We are stuck at waiting until someone with experience can potentially find the smallest fluke to exploit. As it's looking right now, Microsoft put the epic lock & chain on WP8.
I am pretty sure they will make it possible eventually, just the way they did in WinRT. The kernels are not yet fully unified yet.
Hopefully.

it is a Basic function of Windows that has make Windows big and then they stoped it very bad
They didn't just leave it out, they left it out for a reason. The file system is a huge security vulnerability. They probably made it a priority to get it working on RT first then WP.

ihope you are rigth
isn't it NTFS?=== but the source Settings -> Mobilephone Memory can read it
The operating system is clearly not a mallware.
Yeah... security is about preventing unauthorized actions. If I'm explicitly authorizing an app to access my filesystem (hell, make it a popup message box confirmation, like for apps that use the GPS), it's because I want the app to access the goddamn filesystem.
WRT at least still has Explorer and CMD and Powershell and such... WP8 lockdown is not about "security" in the proper sense, it's about control. The average user doesn't know enough about security to make good decisions there, but Android's popularity has only increased as it has gotten easier to root the devices. Meanwhile, iPhones (which are also all about control, and it's not in the hands of the user) are in a relative decline (marketshare, not absolute numbers) and have lost nearly all their first-mover advantage in the "modern" smartphone wave. Microsoft never had that advantage (they squandered what they had with WinMo and were late to the current wave) and their control-freak-ism is directly hurting them (as a random example, VPN apps were possible on Android even before there was on official VPN API; you just needed root).
A lot of developers have expressed their need to use the file system. I am sure Microsoft will eventually allow it.
