This is my first post here, so hello! I have a new Droid X, which I promptly rooted thanks to the helpful posts here. I have put Apex 1.4 on it and love it. My only question is that a quick scan of my local network (on two different machines) shows that port 23 on my phone is open. Not good.
Any ideas why this would be the case? Overlook Fing (available in the market) also shows my phone with an open port 23. Anyone else have this problem, have any ideas about what may have caused it, or how to close it? If it's a standard Linux iptables setup, can I just close it through that?
Both lsof and netstat show nothing (as a matter of fact lsof isn't even found - not part of busybox?).
UPDATE: If this is posted in the wrong spot, can someone tell me where to post it?
Stumped...
maybe a dumb question, but what is port 23?

It's commonly used for Telnet.
That's right. And it should NOT be open. Major security risk. I'm a bit concerned. Anyone else have fing and can tell me if 23 is open on your X too, and if so what rom you're using?
Or can anyone tell me how to close it?

A bizarre new discovery; It's only open when I'm on wifi. Completely closed when on 3g.

ApeX 1.4.1 Here... Port 23 closed.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Wait, are you saying port 23 is knowingly left open on apex 1.4? Because if you are, ummm...that makes me never want to install Apex again (or frankly any other rom). That's essentially a blatant backdoor into my device.
Are you affiliated with Apex in any official position?
Or is all of this mere observation that you're on Apex 1.4.1, and port 23 is not open?

Lol, sorry for the quick response. I was posting with regards to your request for any other users using ApeX to scan and report.
Using Fing, I scanned and it shows closed.
No affiliation. But... When I first read the post I immediately thought of the port being used by the ApeX Toolbox for the connection to the fabdroid server.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thanks. I hoped that is what you meant, and thanks for responding.
I have run the ApeX toolbox, you think that might permanently open up port 23? Have you run it on 1.4.1? Again, if that's the case, I won't be using ApeX, and neither should anyone else, as that would be a massive security breach and huge privacy violation!
Anyone know a way to get in touch with the developer of ApeX? Does he have a username on here?
Hmmm... I'm using Liberty 1.5, but this makes me wonder about port security on other ROMs.
{scurries off to install Fing from the Market}
Well, if nothing else, I hope this makes people think. Installing a custom ROM is really a sacred trust. I sort of just assume that if there were problems 'someone' would know about it. But that may not be the case. Kinda scary really, there is so much of our lives on our phones now.
Let me know what you find out.
As of right now, I am still without an answer...
I know this doesn't really help your quest for why its open much, but im running leaked 3.4.2 and port 23 is closed.
Just came across this, running liberty 1.5 on wifi used network discovery to port scan my phone IP. No open ports. That is kind of scary the amount of trust we put into the developers of these roms. That's why it's good to donate when you come across a real solid one. Liberty 1.5 is the first rom i've ever tried and coming from a stock droid x, i love it. But we kind of crowd source our security when we hope that the hive collective will find something bad and tell the rest of us. Sometimes it works great that way, sometimes it can have disastrous consequences.
@shark thanks for replying anyway. I thought there were a bunch of experts here? A little disappointed that a dev or something hasn't chimed in.

@thejam thanks for replying. I haven't tried anything but apex. Maybe I should switch. I really don't want to blame the rom though unless I know for sure. It is scary though.
Anyone who has used apex and liberty have a good comparison or link to one?
Doesn't anyone use apex??

I come from the Samsung Vibrant Dev area. A friend of mine has a Droid X and all he does is flash Roms, doesn't know much about them. His phone does a TV like on/off animation when the screen goes on and off. What is that? Where is it located/ implemented. any info on it would be great. As search is down right now i cant search it. I am interested in possible porting it.
The liberty tool box has a bunch of different startup animations to choose from, I'm not sure if the one your looking for is in it but it does have the option to add ones from your SD card. Its meant to run on the x with the liberty rom but if you can port it then it might be a good place to start.
Edit:ah just reread your post you're looking for when it goes to sleep, sorry don't know that one. Sounds cool I'll have to look out for it.

Unless his rom is built on 2.3 I don't think it is. Since that power off tv animation is part of 2.3 and 2.3 only good luck.
I think you might be right but I thought it was a feature he was planning on adding. I did some searching and did find that the ultimate Droid has the feature, here's the link...

Total n00b here, but is sense at all possible on this sammy?
There was a group working to get Sense ported over to the SGS lineup of phones. They got it partially working on the GSM versions from what I know, but the project died because they couldn't get most stuff working, and I think it was abandoned.
Bummer. Thanks though 0_o

There are different home launchers that give you the Sense previews at least? Lol. ADW has it.
The only thing that bothered me about downloading launchers is that i could never exclude them from the running program list on the task manager. Any clue on how to do this?

EC07 is from TeamBlackHat, if you feel like getting it immediately and having a stock phone, then go for it and spend the $2 for the app to download it. Otherwise, wait another day or two and we'll have deodexed, pre-rooted, and debloated versions for you to flash.
Based on the upgrade to 2.2.2, I'm thinking that this is roughly equivalent to ED05 for the Fascinate.

sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
Deodexed is a non optimized rom meaning it can be themed and modded. Odexed is the exact opposite.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
I am not quite sure what you mean is "not optimized" There is no optimization differences, other than the fact the first boot is faster on odexed roms than deodexed roms xP
But you are right with the theming

I was using version 9.2 of passion rom and had the inverted black mms with blue icons.
I tried reapplying the zip for v10 and it wont work...
So i tried pushing the apk file, and all the mms will do now is force close if i try to open it..
I guess v10 is causing some conflict v 9.2 doesnt, but i cannot stand the blinding white mms...
Ive always been curious... why is the stock messaging app always so basic and optionless? You would think that since anyone who has an android obviously texts that you would make the messaging app cool? Instead u have to download a third party messaging app from the market.. doesnt make sense to me as i would think they would be simple changes... any feedback?
Thanks to anyone who knows about this mms deal on v10!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
anyone have a solution?
I am using an inverted mms.apk but I'm not sure if its the same one you're talking about. Mine has grey icons and all I have to do is install the apk from the phone and it replaced the system app. I got it from the I9000 apps forum. Try searching there. Its just an .apk, not a .zip.

Whatever kid, we have a confirmation it works, I was testing out the three new modded versions of it last night and they all work. Just because you can't figure it out, doesn't mean its not working for everyone else.
And I am just supposed to assume to know what you have done?? That childish to think someone will just know what you have done and assume you have tried anything at all without you relating that information.
Did you ever think it could be that dirty ass neobuddy rom you are running? As this mms has confirmation of working on ICS on multiple devices, but errors out on one I have heard of, YOURS!
But you know what, have fun kid, if you can't take advice from a dev, and want to act like a ****, then thats your perrogative, but I am officially done with you ****ing kids.
I'm not an idiot, and it just force closes on my phone. It's not that hard to push a file.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion. I had assumed it didn't work because lof the 4.0.3 / 4.0.2 difference but maybe it's something else.
I will try a fresh install of passion and see if that possible resolves the issue.
Thank you.
Here's what I did:
1] rename original Mms.apk to mms.apk.bak
2] move the inverted mms.apk to system/app
3] make sure permissions match
4] reboot
If that doesn't work then yeah install passion fresh. That's what I'm on now and those steps above is all that I do.

It's a legitimate request I've seen before. I mean, why let your old devices just waste away when your children or family members could totally use them as dirt cheap replacements for iPods and such. You don't want them making accidental emergency calls or circumventing the settings you put in place.
Should be able to completely remove the radio somehow so that the cellular stuff just won't work.

Maybe this is a project for some of the budding devs on xda. In theory, it sounds like a simple change. Simply remove the phone aspects of a rom and repackage. I'm sure it's harder than it sounds in terms of stability and usability though (I'm not a dev) =/

Eh, some apps certainly wouldn't work, anything that needs to communicate through telephony and such. But really shouldn't be that difficult.
I'll come back when I'm not too terribly busy with some links about breaking down and customizing ROMs and such. I know that I've found a thread specifically for this kind of thing for another device, but there are a few of them I read up on so it may take a while to locate. Hell, you could just about remove the phone and contacts apps and edit your build.prop and leave an existing ROM intact. I'm no dev or anything though lol so I'll look around.

Not the OG article I had read, but after a bit of Googling I came up with a script that you should be able to set to run at boot which will disable your radio.
You may also be able to dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose turn off radio, but that will not be persistent across reboots. I would use the script and a third-party launcher that can hide apps so that you'll keep the phone and contacts apps and such for stability, but not have them readily available.
*EDIT:
And a flashable zip! Thank you jellybellys!
**EDIT:
Just to elaborate about that flashable zip, it will actually "permanently" (until you wipe and install another ROM) disable the radio and clean out the apps that you don't want. Also installs some kind of binaries if they're currently absent from the ROM. Great find, I'm glad you asked about this!
exactly, my first thought would be just to use titanium backup and disable/freeze but not remove apps such as dialer or what you dont want/need. not sure if this will work but its worth a try. probably a few treads across xda on this (especially on older model phones) id search in those and see if there is a quick answer short of developing a whole new rom

So that's the MIUI.us "Pure English?" I've just downloaded the last available build and will soon flash and then install jellybellys's zip. I'm hoping that will get me the same FC's as you are.
Once you've gotten home after the weekend, try rebooting it a time or two and see if it consistently gives you the FC's.
Also, just curious, but are you using MIUI just because it's the most similar Android overlay to iOS? To make it a bit easier for your friend? Because you could hook him up with some ICS goodness otherwise
*EDIT:
Ok, looking through his updater-script vs. my /system/app/ directory, it looks like MIUI names a couple of apk's differently. I'm currently installing a fresh MIUI so that I can see the directory before moddified by the OG jellybellys zip, then I'll update his zip to reflect those different names and try to run it again. If successful, I'll post the modified file and hopefully we can get your friend a fun little multi-tasking media player
Ok sweet umm can u send me the edit zip
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
Had a good look at the flashable zip, very simple. I need to learn to code, I guess this is a good small place to start lol
All I did was unzip his file, change a few things and added a couple extra lines to remove one more app he hadn't worried with. As said above this will disable your radio, install the radiooptions binary if absent, and remove a number of apk's from the /system/app/ directory.
Removed apps:
TelephonyProvider.apk - cellular service
TelocationProvider.apk - emergency location service (I just don't see the need if you're not connecting to cellular networks)
Phone.apk - your phone app - should also get rid of dialer, I'm trying to find out why it doesn't.
Mms.apk - messaging app
All credit to jellybellys @ rootzwiki.com of course, I couldn't have written this myself or anything.
jellybellys-mod-wifionly-MIUI
Again, the phone app will still be on the homescreen and you actually can't remove it. It won't dial anything, and will just cause the acore process to FC if you try. It's looking like the only way to get it really removed is to modify the ROM's zip so that it never installs the app to begin with.
I'm going to restore the apps again, see if Titanium Backup can't do a better job than outright removing the app does.
