I am using antivirus PRO (APKtor)
It starts itself if u r downloading/installing something... use task-killer to close everything if u r worried about the battery life^^
Btw.. it works great! I made my own virus (for testing) and put it onto my phone... - notification - ... delete.... virus is not there anymore... =D

i had dr.web which done the same scanned as installing but lagged like hell when installing aps and died when updating a few at once lol
Ruined phone quality, scanned the simplest things, its not sophisticated at all

Been reading in a few places theres no such thing as a virus these can stop yet on android and it apparently has inbuilt security. They are basically pointless/scams that sell to marketers. Dont know how accurate it is though. Phone is running much better without it
I've read the same things too. I would imagine that if you needed an AntiVirus the XDA luminaries would be banging on about it all the time ; 0)

Is there something that will provide an enhancement to memory usage on a dinc that requires root. Like preventing apps from automatically running in background. Tired of using a task killer when memory gets down to very low levels.
Maybe a Rom that's efficient at doing this.
Anyone have any ideas?

I think Autokiller is what you're looking for.

I use Autostarts for this.

+1 on autostarts. Instead of killing your apps, autostarts prevents them from starting.
And why do you need to kill these apps? Have they tried to injure you?
Seriously... you probably don't need to kill them unless one of them is acting up. The phone will free up memory as you need it.
Those look good. I'll try them out and see what works better.

I haven't any of this, but maybe it will help you
I know the phone will free up memory as needed but I'm ocd about it and hate that at times it gets down below 40 and bogs the phone down. Tired of seeing apps start up by themselves. I used titanium to freeze apps but now don't remember what's frozen and what's installed on my system. Need something automatic and easier to maintain.

I has the same problem last year (with an HTC Magic) and the problem was too many apps installed, may be the same problem now.
i had the same issue recent, because i was removing stock app.
wasn't able to download from google android market
wasn't able to syn with google contacts
Flash my x10 fixed it.
Ok, an update,i had to revert re-flash it, no other choice but I recommend wiping your phone every 2-3 months to keep junk off your phone

you could re-flash the rom, I've never tried the camera hack so I'm not sure exactly what it entails or how to reverse it besides just starting over.
I'm new to flashing rom and stuff but does it erase all apps

Yes it would unless you back them up somehow.
Are you running a custom rom right now?
No stock rooted why?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I found this:
"Be careful in Service Mode that you know what it is your changing. If you hork up your phone you can reset it by doing a Factory data reset in Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset."
from here
but be careful, you'll need to reinstall your apps if you do that, but if you flashed the rom again you'd have to do that anyways.
Thanks ill probably try a new rom any recommendations preferably one with good battery

I've had great battery with Macnut R13.
I've actualy never had below 24 hours unplugged.
but fair warning: some people say the opposite so I may have just got lucky.
It seems to be about 50/50 have good battery life or dont lol
Also I hear great things about Team Whiskeys roms.
as well as Auxura (Although the guy developing the rom recently stopped development on it)
if you want to stay with 2.1 you might try team whiskey
or if you like 2.2 then any of the above would be great roms
everyone has their own opinion though so you might try a few before you find one you like alot.
Okay one more question... let's say I flash a rom right now... then flash another tomorrow... will the one I did the day before be completely erased when I flash a new one I've heard of people experiencing bugs and this happened ..

Generaly yes you should not have a problem.
but if you do run into trouble you can use odin to start clean, in fact alot of people prefer to use odin to get back to stock before flashing any rom.
but its up to you, I generaly only use odin if things start acting weird (which is next to never)
Wait... isn't Odin how you flash new roms?
Also can u link me to a good tutorial on flashing roms I'm trying to search it from my phone using xda app but its taking forever

At least this thread will serve as a solution to the next person has this issue. Loved the title of this thread, had to respond.
So how did you get the stock camera back? Mine keeps restarting my phone I want to restore it but there is no restore.txt
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Go to your files app.. then sgstools folder there should be a app called camera.apk
Get root explorer go to system > apps and delete camera.apk and the one under it is like camera.odex delete that too.
Now use root explorer to go to sgstools and move camera.API to system apps then go clear all data foe camera app reboot. Done.

Like the title. Do I need an antivirus or am I safe as long as apps are from google store.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I've never bothered. But I read the comments before installing anything. Usually will say if there's anything up with the app. Like push ads. Tho I use ad-away...so I don't usually get those anyway.
Sent from my cell phone telephone....
I use Avast! for both my S3 & N7. I prefer to protect my investments. Comments aren't always truthful & not all apps, from play store or otherwise, are safe.
Google play is not safe as there are few apps which take your phone details like contacts and send online without your permission ..i use LBE privacy guard on my Ace which can block permission for stupid apps to access ur important data ..I highly recommend that

The only antivirus you need is your own brain.
If an app looks dodgy to you, chances are it probably is. If you're downloading APK's from some Ukranian website, do it at your own risk. For the most part, you should be able to tell which apps are secure while browsing through the market. Just have some common sense when choosing an APK to install. Been on Android for years and never had a single virus over several devices.
As with my computers...if I get a virus I get a virus....wipe...install...back to business. That's me anyway. If you feel better with one.....get one!

You don't need a firewall but it's nice to have. I use it to block apps which don't really need internet access yet have it for some reason anyway.
