Myself and some others who run Cognition on their GS2 have reported that Lookout Mobile Security has found a Trojan in the Camera (hacked camera silent edition by potatoman as far as i know) this has just flashed up on my screen a few mins ago, in all the time ive had a smartphone and had Lookout ive never had a trojan so you'll appreciated the concern, i tried to uninstall but it wouldn't allow me (it's build into the ROM no doubt so would have to uninstall)
A concern no doubt, ive frozen it in Titanium Backup for now but i need some assistance folks what should be done in this instance, i could flash another ROM but id sooner stay with Cognition for now.

Its simple, use root explorer and replace camera.apk in system/app folder
Does anyone think this could be related to the auto-upload pics to Google+ feature?
This camera seems very popular here in XDA. I would just ignore the warning. But yeah, if you are paranoid, there is always the option of changing the apk.
I Posted this in the Cog thread too, but since there's 2 places to talk about it, here goes:
So full disclosure: I have no idea what I'm doing. Good start right?
I use LBE privacy guard to control permissions on a per app basis. After seeing the posts about camera.apk, I downloaded and ran Lookout, and found the same information as reported above, that camera.apk was infected with Trojan:Android/Bgserv.A.
I googled it and found : http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002116.html
I noted the app permissions, which is basically everything, and compared it to what camera.apk was requesting on my phone. Camera.apk for me only requests access to sms and location, no network access and no phone info access.
I'm not sure, but this might be a false positive. Like I said though, I have no real experience with this stuff. I'm just poking around.
I think it is just a false alarm, nothing serious. I get this also on 2 other modified programs. And the other 2 is just translated. I think it is due the repackaging.

No. The camera app doesn't upload your pics - the Google+ app does it.
Scanned with Eset Nod 32 and Malwarebytes clean as a whistle = false positive probably .

I hardly think Lookout would flag this as being malaware if it wasn't, i don't subscribe to this "false positive" way of thinking, my opinion is better be safe than sorry.
So in order to get the stock camera back ive to replace this in system/app, where can i find an apk. for the stock camera, cheers.
I'll be ultra careful from here on in about downloading third party apps.
edit never mind i didn't see the above post i have replaced the camera via root explorer.

If it's better safe than sorry, your best bet is to roll back to a stock backup you made before flashing
OK i went to system/app and clicked on install and replaced the camera, done a scan and it's still showing as malaware and will not allow me to uninstall, where can i find a genuine apk. for the stock camera does anyone know,other than that ill have to flash another ROM.

i did say from here on in, this is a genuine community for the most part,however you cant be sure there are not people on here who create trojans inside apps, i just noticed with this camera app the amount of permissions it asks for is way too much just for a camera.

I'm not certain how many on here have used the new market, but i find it HORRENDOUS!
I plan on moving an old version of Vending.apk to system/app to replace it.
My concern is the market will automatically update. Can anyone comment who has tried this already? Is there any way to avoid it updating, or can the ROM developers prevent this in their custom ROMs?
I really have no clue why developers are using it.... its just SO bad. This is the first time I have been disappointed with Googles direction with Android.
how did it automatically update?? OTA???

actually the MARKET does auto-update itself. how do i know? because i received the new market without any mods to the market the night people started to report the update. plus theres a 1st party apk called MARKET UPDATER.
100% sure this will work. go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/make sure the filter is set to ALL and scroll down to MARKET... click it and hit UNINSTALL UPDATES. this method worked when i received the the SIMILAR tab update,but im not sure if itll completely remove the NEW revamped market.

Well, the Market DOES AUTO-Update, even if you Uninstall Updates.... that's the problem.
I suppose I will move an old Market and replace the current one in system/app... but I imagine that if I freeze (titanium backup) the Market Updater app that may lead to problems? I don't think that app can be removed and not cause FC's... I would love to know that is incorrect.
If that is the case, I imagine it would be easy to avoid the new market. Anyone else hate this new updated market and tried this yet?

i just tried the "uninstall updates" method and i will let you know how long it takes for my phone to update back to the new market
it does auto update and installs in data/app not system/app
Check the cache for the update apks. I all ready have two in my cache.
I thought I may get used to the UI.... I am not. Still FUGLY and not intuitive.
Has anyone tried
1. Uninstalling the update with data & wifi off
2. Using a shell and changing the permissions of the Market.apk to read only?
Anyone had success with this?
Uninstalling the update does nothing for me now.

Download the axura rom. Extract go to system apps then get the vending app and put it on ur current rom for some reason... Axura s market doesn't work like others it never updates.
I used it for 2 weeks and it never updated. Try that but save your current vending in case out doesn't work.
As for me my new market its working fine a few complaints but its alright for now...

can you just post the market.apk here? downloading an entire ROM just for one app sounds really unappetizing haha
outside of the above suggestion,I have personally tried every method you could possibly think of to permanently revert back to an old market, but this btch is quite relentless. I may create a Nandroid backup and uninstall the Market Updater....just to see what happens.
^ yeah, I have given up hope and now just hope Google can make another "improvement" to the market. It needs to change... I was LOVING the now older version with "Related" added, but the new UI and 15 minute policy just sucks (for me anyway).
I'm trying to replace the Glacier's stock Gallery application with the one used originally on the G1. I have found an .apk, but upon replacement with RootExplorer, it does not load as an available app. The gallery app is also available in CM's roms up to v.5 I believe... If anyone can assist me, or maybe post the required .apk I would greatly appreciate it!
Try this one

Thanks I'll give it a shot... Do i need to rename and place in system/app or just install? And based on the name, it seems to be the 3D gallery.

The version i uploaded is a .apk, just download and install. it's not a "flashed" application. Also it is the AOSP stock 3D gallery. I don't have a "2D gallery" but this one is REALLY smooth on our phones.
Yeah its running pretty smooth; doesn't compare to the original one...

i know we are running two different frameworks of Android but i just installed it to my CM7 phone and it worked perfectly. Are you installing it via app manager or trying to flash it/push it.
I tried to push it via better terminal b/c I have s-off with permroot, but no avail. I also tried copy/paste to system/app, but it doesnt show up after a reboot. Third, I even tried installing by just clicking it through a file manager. I have been on google all day and can't find out whats wrong... I even found various versions, supposedly.
I dunno. I just tried it on my wife's phone, still using MySense and it doesn't install. I wonder if it's conflicting with the sense framework.

Go to the market and search QuickPic (one word) and download the one from alensw.com. 2d gallery, works like a charm. Very fast.
I agree with the fellow above, been using QuickPic for about a week now and it's so much faster than the stock htc.album... so much so that I've now deleted the bloated htc.album and use QuickPic as default
ok, am a newbie here and this is my first post, so please be gentle if i go wrong or violate any rule of the forum. basically, i wish to know what are the applications that we can strip out of the MiniCM6 ROM. i got rid of many .apk's which i felt was not actually needed by me. Eg - Development.apk, DPS Manager .apk, CMWallpapers.apk, LiveWallpapers.apk, etc.
i also got rid of the stock MiniCM camera app and replaced with the Stock SE Mini camera app...the picture quality has improved significantly than the MiniCM's bundled camera app.
Could you pls shed some light on how exactly you ported the stock SE camera to miniCM6 as i ve been trying this for a while now but still not able to. Thanks.
please make a rom, call it "Minimalist MiniCM" for the average joe. ill beta test!

get root explorer v2.15,install it and open it.tap "mount as r/w", next go to your root/system/app (again tap "mount as r/w" if it is r/o) and delete the "camera.apk" there. then, copy the attached file (DO not install now) to root/system/app. next, "click and hold" the copied file and open "permissions" and tick all the permissions. next click the camera.apk and select "install". done!!
enjoy your Camera!!!!....the only problem is that if you have to delete your file, u have to navigate it manually and delete it, u cannot delete it in the "camera preview" mode, it will FC the camera.

that is a nice idea, but since it is just a stripped down version of a ROM, will i not be violating any rules or something????....u know, i am a noob, not very much familiar with the rules of the forum
since i have uninstalled MOST of the apps, my battery life has increased significantly. the available space in phone storage is 202 MB!!!!!....i even got rid of MOST of the "data" involving apps including GMaps,street plugin & twitter(Silly, i know!!! but i actually don't need them and they run on the background to eat up the battery and also my available data).
the overall experience is the cell runs faster and the battery is almost running for 1 and a half day with moderate to heavy use.
i am already convinced, make a rom AND RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC! plz
My changes:
The following apps are removed:
1.AndroidTerm.apk
2.CarHomeGoogle.apk
3.CarHomeLauncher.apk
4.CMWallpapers.apk
5.Development.apk
6.DSPManager.apk
7.GenieWidget.apk
8.GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk (don't get anxious, u WILL get a google search box, EVEN if i removed this )
9.HTC_IME_lo15.apk
10.Launcher2.apk
11.LauncherPro -0.8.4.1.apk
12.LiveWallpapers.apk (livewallpaperpicker.apk is still there, so u can pick your own LWP, just uninstalled the included livewallpapers)
13.MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
14.MAPS.apk (silly, i know )
15.MUSIC.apk (replaced it with the 2.3 Gingerbread music app)
16.Radio.apk
17.Soundback.apk
18.SoundRecorder.apk
19.street.apk
20.LatinIME.apk (installed the gingerbread keyboard instead)
21.Camera.apk (uninstalled the MiniCM camera app and replaced it with the stock SE x10 mini camera app. the quality of the pictures are better and the video recording got back the continious autofocus back )
22. VoiceSearch.apk
23.VoiceDialer.apk
Added:
1. Simple Task Manager .apk
2.App 2 SD pro.apk
3.Stock SECamera.apk
4.Gingerbread keyboard.apk
5.Zeam Launcher (it is the lightest launcher which incoporates multitouch "pinch to zoom")
6.RootExplorer v2.15 .apk
7.SlideIT keyboard .apk (Swype replacement for x10 mini)
My question is, can i release it WITHOUT offending respectable developers and the forum rules????
who would it offend? as long as you are using only free apps though. :S
Thanks for the detailed instructions. Is the picture quality really that different? Can you please post 2 pics if possible?

Give proper credits and links to the original ROM in your main post and I doubt anybody will be offended
As long as you give people credit it's fine, everything is open source, thats the beauty of Android.
Having said that, I don't really see the point of doing it! It would be much easier for people wanting a stripped version just to uninstall the apps themselves. Get Titanium Backup from the market and uninstall all the .apk files listed in a previous post and you've done it! Much easier than having to backup everything, and install a Rom then fiddle with all your settings again to get them all how you like them

Also, you wouldn't be able to release one that had Root Explorer pre-installed, that's a paid app (and well worth paying for! )

hmmmm ok, well i saw that but skipped over it
because on all my other roms/including stock, i dont remember it being an app,it would just auto-connect
and it was always a system apk as well
let me go check it out though
It was excluded because CM10 has absolutely nothing to do with ATT. Or any phone for that matter. So unless somebody kangs CM10 and adds in an app, it's going to always be as bare bones Android as you can get.
Essentially, CM10 isn't ever a bloat removed version of any phones stock ROM, because it's build from aosp source, so the bloat was never there to begin with, and likely wouldn't be added in anyways.

I like that app as well. That wsa the only thing I didn't like about my ROM, so I did a nandroid, restored to stock, pulled that system app, and restored my nandroid.
Lucky for you and anyone else that wants it, I just happen to have placed it in my Dropbox.
Make sure to place it in /system/app (Don't install it like a normal APK) and change permissions to rw-r--r--
You will need to manually connect to attwifi the first time if you haven't already.

the system app one is just hotspots,mostly ATnT ones i believe
the one in the market can affect connection to your home wifi and work etc
plus, ones an app you can open, the other isnt

the system app one, like if you're at mcndonalds , will connect to it automatically (mcndonalds is one of the stores on ATnT wifi partnerships)
if you didnt have the app, you can still connect(its free wifi no password) but you would have to first open up a browers, read the agreement, and hit accept blah blah, before you can start using the wifi. again the system app skips all that and just connects you

It also skips all the payment info at some places that still charge for WiFi, so long as it's powered by AT&T. I wouldn't mind having this feature back as well, even though I'd rarely ever use it. Honestly, my cell is faster than the WiFi at any Starbucks or McDonalds around here. But I can see a use for it while traveling. Maybe download one of the stock ROM flashable zips and just extract the necessary apk, put it in /system/app and see if it will work that way. I'd try myself, but I'm a tad busy lately and already in trouble for all my downloading this month.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the one on Play is too bloated. I don't want that junk handling all my WiFi.
Is this what you guys are looking for

Honestly, my cell is faster than the WiFi at any Starbucks or McDonalds around here. But I can see a use for it while traveling. Maybe download one of the stock ROM flashable zips and just extract the necessary apk, put it in /system/app and see if it will work that way. I'd try myself, but I'm a tad busy lately and already in trouble for all my downloading this month.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the one on Play is too bloated. I don't want that junk handling all my WiFi.

I just rooted Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a and was going through the cleanup list when I came across this file. I wasn't sure what this file was for until I read this post. I am cleaning it up but here is a copy - in case you can make use of it.

Good call. He's clearly not as crafty and trustworthy as you, Mr. Replying-to-a-year-old-post. You're really the gold standard in solid membership.
Boom!

Well, Mr. Useless Retort, I was searching for this very apk and was about to download it until I looked at his stats. You see, the fact that a post is a year old doesn't make a lot of difference if it has information you need. You see, Mr Useless, that's why the forum goes back many years.
Note that my reply wasn't intended for him, it was to warn off anybody else who might think about downloading this.
See how that works??
I think you can get this apk from the market, or what I do is google for apks -- especially older ones when the market updates me and the update sucks. I haven't been burned yet.

Googling for the apk is what brought me to this thread. I've never been burned with a download, either, but then I've never downloaded one from somebody with a single post.
Since I didn't see the thread with the Stock "apps" as well as the "priv/apps" I have taken an nc5 4.4.2 rom and extracted all the apps & priv-apps and uploaded them seeing how someone was looking for them.
If someone else has already created a thread for these, shoot me.
Have an awesome day
If any are missing please add them.

Thank you so much!!!!
I think I know which apps. I tried extracting the "Secmms.apk", through that into my priv-apps folder (repl;aced mms.apk) but whenever I launch it, it closes after 3 seconds.
Using the Eclipse rom, it seems they changed a bunch of things to utilize some AOSP apps. DO you know of a work around?
Thanks!

Hi
Yes I did....it would launch, but close after few sec.
I posted a msg in the forum, they said that the TW dialer, MMS, etc won't work on this ROM because of the incorporation of aosp code.
I love the ROM, seems smooth and light, but cant stand the dialer/mms...haha
It seems in my situation, the only 2 roms that have no issues where everythign works is HD and Exlipse. HD I like the interface, Eclipse, I like the smoothness, and battery life....
I'm torn

Did you change the permisions of the apk after you moved it? rw - r- r and then reboot?

ANy help would be appreciated!!!
