Does anyone use Foursquare? It's not in the Android market on my Evo! I've even used the link off their website as well as their barcode. Does anyone know how to get this app on the Evo?
Found it fine on my Evo.
OTA updated.
Unrevoked rooted.

What is Foursquare?
I only found a Foursquare churches but I don't think that was it.
I have it installed too on stock.

Yeah, I'm stock and it's definitely there. I use it when I'm sitting somewhere bored. It's kinda fun and addicting, you get little badges and points for checkin in places. I usually use it like I do Twitter though, to see what friends are up to.
here it is this though
http://www.mediafire.com/?m3t2dn3i211
i got it from a simple google search though so install at your own risk
EDIT: Incase you don't know: Download the .apk, transfer it to your SD, use a program like File Manager to locate the file, click it and chose open with Package Installer (if you dont have Unknown Sources checked it will direct you to check it)
Thanks guys. I actually found out that they have a google code website and the whole android app is open source... pretty cool. Anyways I got the APK installed off their google code page.
I seriously can not find it in the market. I'm running the OTA update with unrevoked.
Thanks booyakasha, I know my way around android but that is good instructions for anyone else who doesn't and stumbles across this thread.

NP, glad you got it figured out. I wonder why it wouldn't show up
Downloaded it. I will try it out.
yeah, i couldnt find it in the market on my gf's stock hero (sprint) but it shows up fine on my rooted mt3g...........weird
I know there's issues with the update. Could anyone that hasn't done that yet try something. When you go to the market, search for "callfilter pro" the pay for, not free, version. I know its foreign currency. I just want to know if its just me or are people running stock experiencing this too.
Thank you
You won't see protected apps in the market yet with I07. Google has yet to update the market with the signature of the I07 update. Someone dropped the ball on getting the market updated in conjunction with the update.

There may be a similar version out there somewhere, but if so, I haven't found it. I had a Boost Mobile XPRT for a week before returning it due to data issues in the L.A. area. The one thing on it I found interesting was the free version of Telenav, which unlike any other free versions I've seen, had both traffic and voice commands enabled. There were still other upgrades available that were an added charge, but the Boost XPRT version of Telenav was potentially useful. If anyone has access to this apk, I'd like to get it. Thanks.
I'll upload mine for you. Hold on.

There we go. Hope you don't mind 4shared man. Here ya go ^_^ http://www.4shared.com/android/udDg4OP2/comtelenavappandroidboost.html
Thanks for that...again...it was worth a shot. Turns out that version won't work on a Verizon/Page Plus Droid Pro...just loads the pay screen and nothing else...so much for that idea. Again...my thanks for your help on that one.
Always great to try my friend.
Has HTC push the patch? Samsung already roll out security patches to S4. I Just scanned, my ONE is unpatched/vulnerable.

THe sense based roms have not been patched yet but when i reached out to them they said that it will be resolved soon with a update. They could not give me an ETA on when it would be coming out but assured me they take it very seriously and are working hard to get it rolled out.

That app says I'm patched and I'm running InsertCoin with the latest elementalX. I wonder if the master key patch is in the kernel. If so, that makes sense.

What CID and OTA or custom Rom?

Ye in the last OTA it is patched. The 4.2.2
My One is "patched." I don't download warez, steal paid apps, or install third-party app stores that are untrusted.
I have no sympathy for anyone who does the above and gets their phone jacked up.
BTW Can someone give us a technical (not too technical) explanation of what is this ?
Thanks.

Applications are cryptographically signed. The idea is that another software house or or anybody else can't come up with an "update" to that app, as the signature will be different.
The exploit allows exactly that to happen.
Lets say you download Google maps v7 from the internet because you're impatient, and you install it over the top of the existing one. In theory, if it succeeds, it must have come from Google and hasn't been tampered with to install a Trojan or virus or whatever.
With this exploit, the apk can be modified whilst retaining the same signature. Basically you can't trust downloads that didn't come from the play store until the exploit is patched.

This is, and has been, true for every single Android "security issue, virus alert, malware warning," etc that's ever existed.

First i want to thank you !
Second: ....so, basically this means that it was not that BAD... as the media said !
We all knew that only Play store has trustable content.
Thanks, again !
This patch is in a play store update not an Android update. I have it in play store 4.1.10, there is an app which lets you check I think it's called bluebox or something.you can also check in Google settings if you have an option to verify apps.

That's funny, because the app store is littered with adware and malware. Just a few days ago, there was an app in the top 20 that was clearly malware, and it remained there for weeks before (presumably) being pulled off. As a general rule, I don't download any apps that require the "run at startup" or "install shortcuts" permissions, unless I fully trust the developer. By the way, there's an easy solution; Google could let us control our own privacy settings (like every other OS on the market), but then again, that would eat into their bottom line After all, Google's business model is to literally steal user data and sell it to others.

It's easy to put malicious apps on the play store since there's no review process like apple, but things tend to get flagged quickly.
Basically don't install a calculator app that has full phone/internet/device permissions
The android security model is actually quite good IMO, there's been some exploits but everybody has them (not just android) and they get patched relatively quickly. Potential exploits aside it's actually quite good.

Really? What app was that? I mean, I get annoyed at Candy Crush Saga spam too, but I hardly consider it malware.

You're kidding yourself if you think Apple or Microsoft isn't collecting as much data about you as they can and doing what they want with it. Beyond that, I always take point with folks who accuse any company of "stealing your information." They're not. You're freely giving them access to it (as outlined in that Terms of Service/ELEU agreement you don't read) to utilize their services. If you don't want them to have your info, then don't share your info with them.

Halfway true. It's more difficult than you think to get malicious apps on the Play store. Most of the "successful" attacks have been from someone uploading the 1.0 version of their app(which is perfectly clean, and passes inspection by Google Bouncer) then pushes an update to it with some of the malicious code. As you noted, it usually gets flagged and removed at this point. The other way I've heard of people getting "infected" from apps off the Play store is when the author ties their ads into a nasty website, tricks the user into clicking on it, then further tricks them into downloading an unsigned/untrusted APK.
Yup, as long as your not doing some silly things like getting you apps from the Pirate Bay or Joes crazy world of underground apps you will be more or less safe.

I don't think the update patch is on play store. Latest update scan tell's you to Ask your device vendor for update. So it should be security update OTA from HTC?

Check your play store version I have 4.1.10 and I am patched
So as some of you may already know, the latest update for the NFL Mobile app (came out this morning I think) has officially killed its functionality with rooted (or "non stock Android") devices. A story on Android Police can be see here.
At any rate, I saw a recent post on a GSIII forum (here)where the user claimed to have a workaround which, among other things, involved renaming the superuser.apk, however if you're using CM nowadays then you'll know there really isn't a separate apk - instead it is now integrated into the rom. That being said, does anyone have any idea similar to this that might work for tricking the app into thinking it isn't running on a rooted unit? I have no clue myself, but seeing as how no one has started a dedicated thread for this in the forum of the current Google flagship phone, I thought I'd get things started.
Thanks in advance people!
Well I guess it looks like no one has any ideas...? Oh well, a rare swing-and-a-miss for solutions in the xda community
A quick fix would be to just find the apk for an older version and install that one. That's what I'm currently trying to do, there's no reason for then to block us from using it just because we're rooted.

Well yeah, I mean I already uninstalled and then restored a backed up version of the app using Titanium Backup. The problem is - and if you've been a user of the NFL apps over the last year or two then you'll know this - that the NFL app is not like most apps where each upgrade just adds some incremental upgrades or changes. With this app the upgrades are typically pushed out right before the start of the key timeframes of the NFL season: usually an update right before preseason; another before the start of the regular season; another at the start of the playoffs; another right before the Super Bowl; and once more right before the draft in April. Each update is specific to that time period of the season and usually contains the critical information/tweaks/additions/UI alterations specific for that segment of the year. Point being, after missing an update or two, the app becomes extremely outdated and eventually useless. And that's why, in the mid-to-long term, just using the older version of the apk unfortunately isn't a useful alternative. Damn you NFL! Now we just have to hope the xda community will come to the rescue as they usually are able to do

Ooooh gotcha. I didn't realize that that's how NFL ran their app. That's really annoying.
i'm not rooted, but that does seem like somebody went off the deep end with this app. rooting a device won't hurt their revenue, in fact, it will probably increase it from allowing ALL Android (and iOS) devices access the app. instead, they're cutting off access to a HUGE chunk of their fans, present and future. in essence, they're biting the hand that feeds them.
i voted the app down in the app store out of principal alone.
I am extremely displeased with this as well and am searching for a solution. Leave it to Verizon to try to control how you use YOUR phone.
hey is this an nfl app for verizon or a market version for all?

From what I gather there are two different versions - the one that comes on Verizon phones, and the one that anyone else can grab from the Play Store. I have the Play Store version (as a TMo customer).

Awesome, sounds good
Just in posting my thread I got a ton of hits of people freaking out about the new app...lol
FYI, they have fixed the app and it is now working perfectly fine on rooted devices strait from the play store
I might be the only one it's not working for. Wondering if anyone can help.
I cannot get 95% of the buttons to work in the Fantasy section of the app. Not only that, when I said 'to hell with the app' and went to their mobile site (which looks exactly like the app), I got the same thing... 95% of the buttons on the mobile site wouldn't do anything.
Now, on my N7, everything works fine.
Any ideas?
Edit: It was Ad Away. Can't use the app while it's running. Now I'll try to find the hosts file and see if I can edit the NFL entries out of it.
