Hey guys, I just want to ask these couple of questions:
1. I want to download an apk from an unknown source (not from google play). Given if it has a backdoor or something in it, will it be removed after I uninstalled it?
2. Is there a way to know if the application is backdoored or not before installing to my device?
3. Is there some applications that automatically blocks an app if it access for example my contacts, gallery or emails?
4. Are there apps that on the permission screens, all are not listed? Let's say on the permission popout only access to gallery is shown but the app can access my messages. Is it possible?
Thanks for the response guys.
I have a Galaxy s4 i9505. Android 4.3 unrooted.
If you have Download Booster enabled variant, I need Logs of it enabled / disabled / downloading a file with Download Booster / etc so I can see what is going on for Download Booster (aka Network Booster or NWBooster). Trying to develop port to non-enabled devices (like AT&T,Sprint,Verizon, etc) but have got everything else except the Booster working. Thanks for any and all info related to this.

Some prerequisites: need root, have web browser that has open a site to immediate download file larger than 50MB for fat access, Download Booster WORKING phone, CatLog from play store.
After opening Catlog, the app will start displaying logs (this step is to make sure logs running). Go immediately to status bar toggle for Download Booster, enable/disable/re enable again (so logs present of this action). Now go start the download of 50MB file and verify that Download Booster working in notification area. Once the Download booster is working in all areas, go back to CatLog, expand all entries (arrow button). Hit menu button (long press recents button) and save logs. Before posting, search through saved log yourself to verify that entries are present saying ""NetworkBooster" (or other variants of the words) are present. Then post here. Thanks for the help.
So we have the download booster working as intended here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785420
Where are the files located that make this feature work?
And once there, could it be as simple as changing a value such as "download size" from 30mb to say 1kb to force all downloads to go through the booster? And or could specific apps be selected to always use download booster?
I have a dream of downloading things very very fast.
Any input is appreciated.
I'd also like to know if we can tweak this.
Currently it seems like only HTTP and HTTPS services are open to the download booster. We need to open up FTP and and torrents for this to be very beneficial.
Hi Guys!,
I just got my Nubia Z11 6GB +128GB Model and managed to get TWRP, Root, Viper4Android Gapps +Busybox on it
i bricked it once while figuring this out so thought id save anyone else who has this phone the trouble! (this should work with 4GB + 64GB model also)
all this info is from the Nubia forum which is in Chinese, with the help of some mates we were able to create an account on their and save the files, it was not easy as to create an account you need a Chinese mobile number for verification purposes so don't bother trying to create an account,
all credit goes to the following forum and creators. - http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-690478-1-1.html
i will monitor it for any updates/custom roms/kernels/mods and provide them here as there is no English support for our device!

Use the below mod to tweak the system
XNubiaUI Mod v1.0.3
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_5JyLpmnOLKMGF5UkdPSUk1Sms/view?usp=drivesdk
NUBIA RECOVERY TOOL
so my understanding is this tool is for restoring stock firmware on devices, unfortunately the Z11 is not on the list so it will not automatically download it for you so you will need to manually obtain the stock firmware and can either then flash through this tool or just flash it in stock recovery on the device
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2...EZBNGF3U1VIQWs - Nubia Recovery Tool
STOCK ROMS
These are flashable via recovery tool above or in settings > system update > local update. OR via stock recovery OR TWRP
NOTE: PLEASE UNROOT BEFORE UPDATING,
These are also FULL STOCK ROMS, so you can wipe system + data and reflash any of these to go back to clean stock
There are sourced directly from nubia website and are unmodified in anyway by myself

Hi Guys,
i havent tried on the 64gb version only mine,
i assume the gaaps should work but not sure for twrp the tool does say "Nubia Z11" and doesnt specify a model?
if someone is willing to try and confirm for me that would be great
i found a tool ill add to the OP called "Nubia Recovery Tool"its in Chinese but you put your phone in download mode and select nubia emergency recovery and it flashes lastest stock firmware (works for ALL nubia models from z9 to z11) ill upload that tonight so if someone wants to try it they can flash back to stock incase they have issues:good:

i dont think you can install the recovery seperately.. you will have to reflash stock ROM
i am downloading it as we speak
