Android security - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Please, how do you solve phone security? Do you use phone encryption? How do you secure your SD Card? Do you use a VPN when connecting to public WiFi (what does VPN)? Do you have ROOT and custome ROM? Do you use any other security applications (which)?
Thank you

[Q] Can I install an apk when locked out of phone?

Hi everyone,
I was trying out the Pattern Lock feature on my HTC Incredible S and got locked out after too many incorrect attempts.
I can't use my email address and password to verify my account as my data and wifi are switched off.
To get around this problem, I've transferred to my microSD card the XtraSec apk that will allow me to remotely switch on wifi and data. However, I'm not sure how to trigger the installation of the apk when I can't get past the lock screen
Can I use fastboot to access the file explorer app (ES file explorer) or apk installer app to get the apk to install?
I haven't rooted the phone and it's running the latest version of Android. I'm not sure if I have USB debugging enabled.
I'd like to avoid doing a reset if possible coz I haven't backed up the things that aren't on the sd card.
Hoping someone can help me :fingers-crossed:
With out being rooted your stuck without factory resetting

[Q] Want to have a cutom firmware for Samsung T315

Hi All,
I want to have a custom firmware for Samsung T315. Main idea is to integrate one app into firmware and remove all other apps and functionalities. This device will be locked to only one app only. On this device we will use SIM with PIN code enabled and a pre configured wireless profile. Furthermore in the firmware we want to write a process to enter this PIN automatically without prompting.
Anyone with any idea or interested in providing his services?
Best regards,

samsung s4 - unlock encryption

Hi all,
I just tryed to add a company account to my phone. During this process I was asked to add a new Administrator. Just after confirm, the phone unmonted the SD card and wanted to encrypt the phone. How to reverse?
The phone is still not encrypted and I don't want the encryption. But I cannot mount my SD card without encryption and I cannot change any security setting (only password is available as lock screen - till now I have a PIN). And, I cannot clear the certificate memory (Clear credentials is grayed).
I removed the exchange account, but this does not help.
I'm using a stock GT-I9506 with 5.0.1
Thanks for any help.
solved
I fount the solution. After selecting password as lock screen I started the encryption. During the last confirmation I aborted. After that all was like before.

Is your android is rooted. If yes then many apps available to recover stored wifi passwords from your android.
