Hi, is this App Threema really secure messaging or it is just Fake!!
Description
Threema is a mobile messaging app that puts security first. With true end-to-end encryption, you can rest assured that only you and the intended recipient can read your messages.
Unlike other popular messaging apps (including those claiming to use encryption), even we as the server operator have absolutely no way to read your messages.
Features:
• End-to-end encryption of text messages, images, videos and GPS locations
• Contact synchronization (optional): find other Threema users automatically
• Send images and videos
• Share your location on a map
• Verify your contacts' public keys by scanning a QR code from their mobile phone, all within the app
Threema is Made in Switzerland, and all servers are hosted there as well for maximum privacy.
On their webpage they show how to check yourself whether the encryption works how they promise. And it does. It works absolutely great.
Threema is my favorite messenger - it's like WhatsApp but end-to-end encrypted and my best friends (>25) switched to Threema, too.
No fake.

It's working fine with ART on all my phones. I never used it with Dalvik! What isn't working on your phone?
@tobby88
I couldnt even install it while using art. Switched to dalvik and now its working flawlessly. Im running slimkat latest weekly 3.2 (aosp) + custom kernel (Gustavo_s) on my international samsung galaxy s2 (i9100).
I am using Motorola Droid 4, Motorola Photon Q and Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G with Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly. No custom kernel, just the one included in the CM-builds. No problems during install and working great

Hi everyone,
I thought of making a thread for all Email issues with ICS on any phone. As there are lots of people out there posting a single comment on certain threads, I thought it would be nice to have a collective post where someone can look at fixing some or share knowledge. Mods if you think this area isn't appropriate please move this thread.
Email Issues with ICS
Issue 1: Google App Server Emails (Personal Domain Emails powered by Gmail) using Stock Email App on Galaxy S2 which is very similar to Android Stock Email App. Its apparent that this doesn’t work in Stock ICS on Galaxy Nexus S.
Symptom: After finishing the process of adding accounts, the Inbox keeps loading but not loads.
Reason: Google or Android has changed a key protocol within the implementation of Active sync (exchange) in ICS where redirecting of m.google.com or m.hotmail.com doesn’t work anymore.
Fix: Apparently fixed in 4.0.4 but no claims yet.
Issue 2: Stock Email App on Galaxy S2 drains battery.
Symptom: Battery only lasts 7-8 hours.
Reason: Google Sync isn’t supported by Android on any other app except Gmail app on Android Platform. Your server also requires a maximum calendar lookback and maximum email
lookback,
Fix: Clear the data from the app and cache, delete all accounts and re add them again. or change the exchange policies.
Issue 3: Corporate Emails won’t sync with Stock Email app (Galaxy S2 or Nexus)
Symptom: Connection Error, Couldn’t download all emails. wont send outgoing mail etc
Reason: Policy not supported, PIN authentication doesn’t exist in ICS, One of the features that's lacking from ICS, is S/MIME.
Fix: Change the Exchange server settings or wait for Android and or Samsung to fix the app and Active sync implementation in ICS. Encrypt your sd card (internal and or external)
Bottom Line: Google doesn’t support all the exchange policies and protocols hence suit yourself. As there are more than 4 dozen policies, they only support the most commonly used. Samsung has rubbished the already buggy Stock Email App from AOSP by adding their own rubbish.
So, we are left with a few choices here:
Change back to Gingerbread where everything use to work.
Change your exchange server policies (Corporate accounts)
Wait until Android fixes redirecting protocol for m.google.com or m.hotmail.com services
Wait until Samsung fixes stock email app
Wait until Google fixes stock email app (wont help samsung guys)
Wait until Android implements correct protocols and policies in ICS and Samsung follows up.
Really pathetic to see this happening and where google passes buck to others for their apps, I thought the whole idea of Open Source was to share and learn. Unlike Linux where its usually fixed quickly and across the board.
Could anyone out there tell me if the S Note that you got with the ICS update - NOT downloaded from S Choice, or from the file that I saw floating around the forum, just the ones that came with ICS automatically - matches the following permissions?
- Your personal information
add or modify calendar events and send email to guests without owner's knowledge, read Browser's history and bookmarks, read calendar events plus confidential information, read contact data, read user defined dictionary, write Browser’s history and bookmarks, write contact data
- Services that cost you money
directly call phone numbers, send SMS messages
- Your location
coarse (network-based) location, fine (GPS) location
- Your messages
edit SMS or MMS, read SMS or MMS, receive SMS or MMS
- Network communication
control NFC, create Bluetooth connections, full internet access
- Your accounts
acts an account authenticator, manage the accounts list, use the authentication credentials of an account
- Storage
modify/delete USE storage contents
- Hardware controls
change your audio settings, record audio, take pictures and videos
- System Tools
allow Wi-Fi Multicast reception, bluetooth administration, change network connectivity, change WIF state, change WIMAX state, change your UI settings, delete all application cache data, disable keylock, format external storage, modify global system settings, mount and unmount filesystems, prevent phone from sleeping, retrieve running applications, write sync settings.
Why I want to know, if you're interested:
I didn't get S Note with my ICS update (SGH-i717R - Canadian, Rogers), and after a song and dance with support, was told by one agent/one email support to download it from the S Choice app store ... and by one call agent that I should stay away from it because it's not from Samsung and possibly malware.. Since S Note was supposed to come with the update, and only My Story needed additional downloading, I was a little wary.
My misgivings started with the bad grammar in the description, the different developer from the My Story app, and finally, the giant pile of permissions it wants. I've tried a slew of things to get S Note/Premium Suite to initialize, and am now at either reflashing the update, which I'd like to avoid since the phone works fine and I don't know what the hell I'm doing, or mailing it in “to the lab,” which I'd like to avoid because apparently not all of Samsung knows what it's doing either, judging by some of the answers I got. So I'd like to just do a comparison to see if the original S Note that comes with ICS also has these permissions. If it does, then I'm just going with the S Choice one and stop trying other things.
Thank you for any help!
Anyone? I know it's a bit of an oddball question, but..? (Unless nobody got it with ICS, which wouldn't surprise me, either.)
Matches what i have... I dont think its anything bad. Samsung proabably wants snote to have full functionality. Insert contacts and be able to call them from the app, geo tag your location etc... Look at the permissions of facebook... They are not that different.

Fantastic - thanks! I was mostly put off by the description of the app "this application is S note can make own note." doesn't exactly scream "I am legit software put out by Samsung, download me!" But if it's pretty much what the original has, then I'm fine.
Again, thanks!
I'd like to see Whisperpush integrated into Paranoid Android. Whisperpush allows you to send encrypted texts to other Whishperpush and TextSecure users while using any SMS application of your choice.
system-wide secure messaging integration with compatibility with TextSecure. For those unfamiliar, TextSecure is an open-source cross-platform (iOS and Android) client that encrypts your SMS messages both locally, and over the air when sending to other TextSecure users. The application is maintained by Open WhisperSystems, and lead engineer Moxie Marlinspike.

You can install the apk from the CM distribution and use it wherever you like. Keep in mind that it requires GApps to work. If you already use GApps then it's no problem, but if you don't... the idea of increasing your privacy and security by giving Google root access to your phone may strike you as a little odd.
Lately I have been wondering why Android still does not have native support for CalDAV & CardDAV, when both have been the de-facto open standard for contacts and calendar sync for years. Is there no native support because Google wants it to make it more difficult to use alternatives to their services? (In my case: NextCloud/ownCloud, which I can add right away even to an old Iphone, but still do not work with android out of the box without something like DAVDroid) Or are there plans to integrate it into future versions?
What's the problem with installing an app? Android has a native API for contacts and calendars, so I guess they can't be accused of making it "difficult". They probably just don't want to make it "too easy".
One could also ask why 99,9% of app developers don't support APK distribution but require users to use GApps & Play Store …

Which is not answering my question whether it is planned to have native support for CalDAV/CardDAV.
CardDAV / CalDAV are open standards for data exchange just like IMAP, NTP, SMTP and so on. It would be only natural for android to support them
I know, it's an oxymoron for some of these apps/services, but unfortunately, I need them for business purposes. I am seeing many out-of-date apps and posts about this topic and wondered if anyone has any current suggestions.
I'm using Aurora Store, Aurora Droid, and Hermit. Hermit isn't always a great solution if I need to be in an app multiple times a day and I need to receive notifications. I will continue to use Hermit for apps that I only have to log into periodically, like Banks apps, but the experience isn't always the best if I'm in apps multiple times a day.
- Gmail - Migrated to ProtonMail, but still using FairMail to access Gmail
- Twitter - Hermit is an option, but I wouldn't mind testing some apps.
- Facebook - Currently using Hermit, but I think an app may work better.
- Instagram - Same ^
- What's App - I have it installed on another phone using a VoIP phone number but have WhatsApp Web To Go installed on my Android Phone. If there is another Privacy/Open Source alternative, I would like to try it.
- Telegram - Nekogram X
- Discord - Aliucord (I haven't tried it, but I will)
