First, I hope this question does not violate any rules regarding outside websites. If so, feel free to remove.
In my recent search for a Rom, I stumbled across this site. I see available downloads, but they do not seem to match thier listings. I'm wondering how trust-worthy they are. I don't see any md5 files for download verification. But if they are, on the up & up; they could be a valuable resource.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in avance for your opinions.

I went to search this forum (in the android section), typed in resource (well I cheated kind of since I knew the code word to use ) and this was the third link to show up. First was the kitchen (which most tutorials use), Second was an advice thread that had some links to resources, and this one was one that I also had bookmarked and has good info.
Honestly I'd say take a day to just read through (atleast scan through and just read the titles) of every thread in the Android chef section... Then you'll know which ones to bookmark and save to read for later reference.
(If this comes off as me being an ass, I'm sorry, I'm kind of buzzed and just trying to keep it short and simple lol).
I am working on this project and I started reading topics about smartcards,
but before that I am not sure if this kind of topic is allowed here and I cannot find a proper section
to post this thing, please if its on the wrong place kindly move it to the right one.
There are a lot of gadgets, softwares and applications using smartcard as protection, but theres a lot of
this softwares has been emulated by a virtual smartcard.
I just want to know if anyone here want to share his experience doing this thing?
I try a lot of different ways and still need a lot of readings...
If you guys have links or more advance topic about this thing It will help me a lot.
While Im on the 7th page of googles result, I hope one of the devs here can help me with this topic.
thank you guys.
Q&A for [Q] AndroidMagnet
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [Q] AndroidMagnet. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

Has anyone ever come across this site or used their product?
Looks like a well put together site, but the download forces you to take surveys and other menial tasks to get your information.
My first thought is spam.

I was searching on google about this product called Android Magnet i got here on this post written by "BKCOKE". I want to tell you that first I was also sure that this is a scam, but I thought I should give it a try maybe it works, so I clicked on download button and there was a survey to complete, I did it it took me 1 minute and I downloaded the software and installed and GUESS WHAT i connect my Galaxy S3 running jellybean, it got updated to KITKAT and its not a SPAM, give it a try, do a survey put in fake information just like i did

Can you post the executable? This way we can all test it!
After JohnnyParker1's response I decided to dig a little deeper. The site has various "certifications" from BBB, Verisign, Truste, and Scan Alert Hacker safe. None of these could be verified by the respective services.
Their "About Us" page shows 3 photos of "employees," with photos. When doing a Google Image search on each photo the Asian woman came up with a LinkedIn profile under a different name.
Also, they are citing various numbers that can't be verified. One statistic is 10,000 users and another states only 9,872. I also could not find their support forum.:laugh:

That was quite a good research "BKCOKE". But my point is that who cares if they are fake or real, I did a fake survey on their download link, I got the file and I got my Samsung S3 updated
So I don't care if they are fake or real, their software worked for me CHEERS
share your rom
hello
you allow me to post a link to your rom on the forum frandroid dedicated to liquid e2 please
desolated for my English I use google translation
thank you
excuse me for this message it's not the good post
Hello,
First let me start off by saying: I was directed here by several "tech" friends of mine concerning this issue, and directly to this sub-forum when I asked where I should post the question. So if I have erred and this question/thread does not belong in this sub-forum, I apologize. There are so many forums and sub-forums it is a bit confusing.
Secondly:
Is it possible to customize the installed Android version? Like themes, icons etc? I know you can change the wallpaper but what can a user change? Is there someplace I can go to read about it?
Thirdly and lastly:
edit
Nevermind, I have solved my "third" issue. Should I include what I did for references to others? Is that allowed?
If any other information is required, I will happily provide it!
Thank you for looking, and for any and all help.
Some of us do not install G**gle apps (incl Play). We use instead F-Droid and APKPure.
But some apps insist that they require Play... it's not a technical requirement, just one they throw in there, but it's a real problem as I am not going to install Play just for that.
Does anyone know of a Play 'placeholder' or 'simulator' which will satisfy this specious requirement? Or has anyone decompiled an app to remove this requirement?
Recommendations?

This is not related specifically to Havoc.
Shouldn't you make a thread in another place?

Apparently you haven't actually tried this. There is very little depth of knowledge about things Android, in general. We are fortunate here to have a competent dev and some competent users. This is rare.
It is unusual to not be at all dependent on G**gle, and I am happy to help with what I know about freeing yourself completely. But there are some catches, and the question I'm asking is the last one for me.
I can probably figure it out for myself, but when forced to do that I am not as inclined to share if sharing (or even trying) is not part of the ethos..
So can we can, or can we can't? :cyclops:

Try MicroG. Your purpose will be solved without installing any GAPPS.

Always share helpful info.
I believe the response the person made was a legit argument basically being made to help direct you to find a better place with much higher odds of getting an answer (looks like you got it tho).
But that doesn't mean you can't ask or can't share. It's all up to you. Sharing knowledge is the foundation this forum has thrived in. Personally I hope nothing defers anyone to question that regardless of any responses made or not made.
And yes, this is an excellent dev. But he's here to help primarily with his area of expertise, which according to the thread title is with Havoc issues. He can't be relied upon to answer non ROM questions (yet he probably would if he knew).
@Quantumstate,
I had to move your question and the corresponding answers to a specific thread (your thread now) to "Android Development and Hacking Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" because the thread where you posted initially was not the best place to ask.
I have named the thread "How to get rid of Playstore requirement for some apps?" because I had to fill a subject (is mandatory) but feel free to edit the title yourself if it's not OK for you.
Also, I suggest you to read THIS THREAD by @Oswald Boelcke, you could eventually find some clues there. If not maybe Oswald Boelcke or any other members (developers or not) here should be able to help you in this new Q&A thread
Thanks for understanding

@Quantumstate I just realised that @Wood Man pinged me and pointed you to my thread. Feel free to ask me in my thread or certainly here whatever you want to know. But I assume you first have a lot of reading ahead.
Additionally to my thread, I'd like to drag your attention to some more XDA threads in this context. In these threads are also links to Github/Gitlab including excellent tutorials. If you want you'll be able to leave Google services or requirements in many although not all cases behind; however, it also depends of the ROM(s) you use. This means if you commence a discussion please also provide insight into details of your device, system and configuration.

Last remark: On none of our devices, any Google service or application is installed. But all of our application run fine without and by the use of µG instead. The very few application, from which I expect push notifications, do receive them on time via GCM/FCM.
The one and only Google application, which I've installed, is the Google Play Store modified by Setalphia, the developer of above linked NanoDroid. It allows me easy access and updates of my applications purchased on Google PS respectively to conduct in-app purchases that I mainly do in order to support a good development and developer unless the developer offers different means of donation.
I knew we could count on you Oswald :highfive:
