Galaxy S4 Now Officially Supported By CyanogenMod - First Nightly Builds Out For T-Mobile And Canadian Variants
Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Development, Galaxy S4, News, Samsung
A couple of months ago, a number of team Hacksung/CyanogenMod members expressed frustration and doubt regarding the fate of the popular custom ROM when it came to Samsung's newest flagship - the Galaxy S4 (see our review). Other CM members quickly put an end to the misinterpretation, but not before some prematurely jumped to incorrect conclusions. Needless to say, when Steve Kondik, a.k.a. Cyanogen, took to G+ to announce the first upcoming S4 builds, he couldn't resist the opportunity for a healthy dose of sarcasm:

His follow-up messages confirmed that the T-Mobile and Canadian S4s were first in line, followed by the international i9500 at some point in the future when the team gets a hold of the hardware. Samsung already released kernel sources for all of these devices earlier in April.

Android virus scanners are easily fooled
Researchers at Northwestern University and North Carolina State University have discovered that anti-virus programs for Android can usually be bypassed using trivial means. The researchers developed DroidChameleon, a tool that can modify known malware apps in numerous ways to prevent them from being detected.
Most of the ten scanners they tested mainly performed signature-based analyses. In some cases, simply changing the package name in the metadata was enough for virus scanners to consider the malware harmless. Several scanners could be fooled by unpacking the malware and then creating new installation packages. In other cases, the researchers were successful after encrypting parts of the app or redirecting function calls.
Their conclusion is unambiguous: all ten anti-virus programs could be fooled in one way or another. Many of the methods the researchers used have long been common practice with Windows malware, and some have even been used for deploying Android malware in the past. Tested scanners included anti-virus programs from AVG, Dr. Web, ESET, ESTSoft, Kaspersky, Lookout, Symantec, Trend Micro, Webroot and Zoner.
However, the researchers were also able to provide some positive news: during the test period from February 2012 to February 2013, the candidates improved steadily. While the scanners initially missed 45% of trivially modified malware samples in total, a year later, they only missed 16%; the researchers attribute this to the increased use of content-based matching.
The researchers' findings are a further reason for users to not allow the installation of apps from untrusted sources, also called sideloading, in the first place.
The majority of malicious programs are to be found in areas outside of the official Google Play download catalogue – in peer-to-peer exchanges, forums, and alternative app portals. As Google at least superficially checks apps before adding them to the store, and will remove them quickly in case of complaints, Google Play users are currently still sailing in relatively calm waters.
playing with apps is hardly comparable with constantly rooting and upgrading boot kernels like a 14yr old and you are always doing,Quote:

I'm sure there are millions of other users out there though that are a goldmine for scammers, I bet a huge percentage don't even have the most basic anti virus software installed.

They didn't test Avast. But still best to keep things safe without reliance on a single programme.
Looks like most only failed in part, as with any AV, although what they did fail on is serious enough,
but Lookout, Trend and Zoner failed completely and are no better than gimmicks.
I use Avast as well, phones and PC. Find it non-intrusive and quite effective.
I like how the desktop version now patches a few apps as well.
Samsung Smartphones, Tablets Running Knox Get U.S. Defense Department Approval
Samsung said Friday that its smartphones and tablets running its Knox security and management software have been cleared for use on the U.S. Department of Defense network.

Fri, May 03, 2013
Computerworld — Samsung said Friday that its smartphones and tablets running its Knox security and management software have been cleared for use on the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) network.
BlackBerry had announced yesterday that the DoD had approved the use of BlackBerry 10 smartphones and PlayBook tablets on its network.
The DoD wasn't available for comment.
Samsung's Knox software currently runs in the firmware of the new Galaxy S 4 smartphone, providing a series of security controls. The company plans to incorporate the software into other coming devices.
Nearly all the management and security capabilities of Knox require a connection to a special management server run by IT shops inside a firewall.
The BlackBerry Balance security features require that BlackBerry devices are linked to a BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 server.
Both Balance and Knox allow users to separate personal and work data on a phone or tablet. Therefore, if the worker loses the device or leaves a job with the device, the IT shop can wipe corporate data from the smartphone or tablet without affecting personal photos, games and other data.
Samsung recently said a full featured version of Knox won't be available until a later date, which is dependent on service-side activations by distributors, including carriers.
BlackBerry hasn't said how its BES 10 activations are going.
The DoD's approval marks the first time that an Android-powered device met the agency's security standard, Samsung said.
Samsung plans to seek certification from other governments and international certification groups.
Hopefully me JB 4.1.2 will be updated to 4.2.2 any day now (...); what improvements can I expect?
BTW, I got a Sony Xperia Z while in Dubai a couple of weeks ago and played around with it along me friend's iPhone 5; Apple are really falling behind, the iPhone 5s/6 will need to be a massive improvement if they're gonna compete. The latest generation quad processor android phones are bloody amazing.
To be honest I've been switching between the two and there are no obvious feature or performance differences that I've really noticed.Quote:

Thanks to a meetup posting by HTC, we now have an idea of two new features that should be included in Android 4.3. At an event on Thursday, May 16th, in San Francisco, HTC will provide an overview of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Open GL ES 3.0, new features they describe as having “arrived” on Android (in the future tense).
Bluetooth Low Energy (or Bluetooth Smart) is aimed at always-on devices like heart rate monitors, key finders, and multi-sensor kits (temperature, pressure, humidity, accelerometer). A couple Android devices have supported it through their own Bluetooth stack, but it has not been an official part of Android til now.
OpenGL ES 3.0 is the latest mobile graphics specification and it’s currently supported by new chips from Qualcomm. The Snapdragon 600, found in the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S 4, is the latest chip to support OpenGL ES 3.0, and we can’t wait to see what new games will be created to take full advantage of the new APIs.
We expect Google to unveil a ton of other mobile-related news (Ron Amadeo of Android Police has a nice list), so be sure to tune into Google IO from May 15-17th.
