- Comment on I found pre-installed (unremovable) malware on my phone, and ESET doesn't seem to be checking system apps... (Ulefone Armor 24) 9 hours ago:
Nope. You need root access to use sudo. It just runs a shell natively under Android. But you can run QEMU inside Termux.
Without root, you get this:
No 'su' binary found SU_SEARCH_PATHS: /system/bin/su /debug_ramdisk/su /system/xbin/su /sbin/su /sbin/bin/su /system/sbin/su /su/xbin/su /su/bin/su /magisk/.core/bin/su sudo requires a 'su' binary that supports the '-c', '--shell', '--preserve-environment' and '--mount-master' options

Is there a reason you went with ulefone?
Unique hardware, and manual band selection (within MTK Engineer Mode).
For the band selection my only options are basically some manufacturer who didn’t bother to remove factory test tools (rare) or a Linux phone (e.g. PostmarketOS). - Comment on I found pre-installed (unremovable) malware on my phone, and ESET doesn't seem to be checking system apps... (Ulefone Armor 24) 19 hours ago:
Yeah…
This time I specifically went with MediaTek to have access to band selection, but MediaTek is basically all of the nails in the coffin when it comes to custom ROMs.
Other option for this would be a closed-source app like NSG with root access (meh).
Or a full-fledged Linux phone so I could just usemmclilike a normal person. That seems to exist at least on PostamrketOS: wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Modem (unless it’s limited in function somehow). I did test it with DWM-222 modem.MTK Engineer Mode usually gets removed, which isn’t surprising as it includes tools like TX-test (for both WiFi and cellular modem) and someone on XDA posted a screenshot of it having IMEI change option. Both of those are likely illegal (probably not for WiFi as that’s in license-free band).

I didn’t say I consider either trustworthy/untrustworthy.
It’s just that I don’t trust the devices enough to keep working (or even do so well) to basically waive my warranty (by purchasing it from wherever they sell it).Otherwise, it seems Unihertz has a better record (I didn’t find mentions of embedded malware) than Ulefone.
If I can buy it here, I have 14 days to return it. When I was choosing a phone, and employee of the store just told me to buy all of which I am interested in, test them, keep 1, return the rest. So I bought 3 phones and returned 2.
Not something I could do if importing a device. - Comment on I found pre-installed (unremovable) malware on my phone, and ESET doesn't seem to be checking system apps... (Ulefone Armor 24) 20 hours ago:
No, sorry for the confusion, I was speaking about the Motorola. I can’t find anything for Ulefone.

I daily drive the Armor 24 which is just a bit thinner. I am a man, so it does fit into most of my pockets (I hear women’s clothing has chronic lack of pockets).
I am just that tiny bit of market who likes very unusual things. Unihertz also has some Blackberry-style phones (Titan series), but they don’t sell around here, and it’s not a brand trustworthy enough for me to import it with basically no warranty.
By the way, Unihertz seems to fund new models via Kickstarter, which I find a bit funny. - Comment on I found pre-installed (unremovable) malware on my phone, and ESET doesn't seem to be checking system apps... (Ulefone Armor 24) 1 day ago:
In this specific case, throwing
/system_ext/priv-app/PriLauncher3QuickStep/PriLauncher3QuickStep.apkat VirusTotal would light it up.
But as I found, ESET won’t care about system files.
Sophos’ Intercept X did find it, but I had to enable scanning of system files in settings. Though I am not sure how reliable they are for AV.
Oh, and if it finds something, it will block you from opening that app. In this case, that being main part of the UI, I couldn’t access recent apps and homescreen. So for the chance it flags Settings, it would probably be good to enable ADB in advance (and trust your computer). - Comment on I found pre-installed (unremovable) malware on my phone, and ESET doesn't seem to be checking system apps... (Ulefone Armor 24) 1 day ago:
There is if you use Termux (on a rooted device).
Termux has been the most important app on my phone. I just get the familiar CLI for everything. For example, MTP has been unreliable in my experience, there’s probably lots of apps in Play Store to send/receive files of questionable quality.
And then with Termux I can just rsync over SSH as usual.
Or browse files with SSHFS. - Comment on I found pre-installed (unremovable) malware on my phone, and ESET doesn't seem to be checking system apps... (Ulefone Armor 24) 1 day ago:
Yeah, DuraSpeed. That even kills alarms if you try to use them.
To be fair, so did my previous Xiaomi Poco. And my Motorola also had a ton of bugs after its very last update (which almost feels intentional).When did I not have issues? Custom ROM. Upgrading that phone from Android 8 to Android 11 (PixelExperience) even made it miles faster. Oh, and whoever ported it to that phone also made sure to include Moto actions.
There was just one problem. Due to some incompatibility, they couldn’t get encryption to work. Trying to enable it would brick the phone.But I guess it makes sense that someone who is fueled by passion rather than money does a better job.

option to root and/or bootloader unlock
This one wouldn’t be a problem. Ulefone apparently doesn’t lock it down. From unlock wall of shame: github.com/zenfyrdev/…/README.md
Enable OEM unlocking in settings, reboot to bootloader,
fastboot flashing unlock, and that’s it.
But they don’t release any source code and use MediaTek, so there’s no use of it. 😐 - Comment on I found pre-installed (unremovable) malware on my phone, and ESET doesn't seem to be checking system apps... (Ulefone Armor 24) 1 day ago:
Eeeeh, some of these are far from cheap. For example, the Armor 34 Pro that I was interested in is EUR 750.
Unique hardware, that’s why. Otherwise I’d have gotten Moto G54 5G. Actually, I tested both, I just liked the Armor 24 more hardware-wise.Lots of modern electronics feels too boring as it’s all the same. Phones, laptops, TVs, they especially feel like copied homework.

I can try to update to the latest updates and see if it’s still there. Problem with these devices is the updates tend to break more things than fix. This phone got Android 15 update like half a year back and there was bunch of people reporting that the power button doesn’t work to lock the phone anymore…
If yes, or should I say, me being able to detect it, I’ll try to do a warranty claim.I hate these locked down devices. I want to be able to run whatever I want like on desktops. It’s a computer, dammit.

This is inside the official ROM (from factory), and there’s no custom ROMs.

There’s quite a few devices like this (from other brands as wall). On a full charge with heavy use it lasts me 5 days. The capacity also checked out with a USB tester, although I only tested it during charging from something like 5%.
I could also try a discharge test, but that’s going to take around 8 hours (10W max output). If you trust whoever did this test, they got 57 hours of screen on time for video streaming: www.devicespecifications.com/en/…/9
That has to fit somewhere.Anyway, I got it on Alza. I wouldn’t trust shops like that with anything above, say, EUR 50. Especially not Temu, though I haven’t used them personally. The most expensive stuff I got on Aliexpress was around that sum. Two Heltec ESP32 boards with LoRa and RTL-SDR v3 (with the antenna kit).

Yeah.
It sucks as usual manufacturers don’t make such crazy devices. This thing has a 22,000mAh battery and quite strong light at the back. And yes, it’s a quite heavy brick (647g or 1.43lbs).I didn’t find anything better to compare the thickness to, so here it is next to a 1RU switch and a dumphone:
ImageThey have even larger phones, but this is already a second time they’ve had malware, so I don’t know about that…

I don’t think so. It’s also responsible for system navigation. (If I force stop it 3-button nav and gestures stop working)

- Comment on most perverted men are actually very vanilla and run away when faced with a perverted woman 4 days ago:
lightly
OH, that’s far better than I expected.
I’ve seen a gore video where men rubber-banded his dick and had someone else fully cut it off.
Also one who did it himself with hot blade.
But somehow it still made me less uncomfortable than the dude who stuck a couple of needles through his balls. - Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 2 weeks ago:
That’s because rock stations are busy playing Imagine Dragons.
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 2 weeks ago:
I thought about trying this, but thinking about how to execute it already sounds painful enough.
For input data, I could use my existing library of mostly individually-selected songs, currently at size 1,662. Since I mostly listen to everything, this spans a rather large range of dates.
Then start taking random songs, and rating them on 1 - 10 scale in relation to entire library, enter ratings into 10 year buckets, and use mean of those ratings.
Probably 5 ratings per bucket to keep it short.
Unfortunately, I most likely can’t fill every bucket, hell, some would remain empty. After all, classical music makes my library likely start in late 1600s, and end in 2025.
I didn’t think about that. Perhaps I could leave it out, and start at, say 1920s, but that would make the data incomplete.Problem is, I don’t have the years for most of them, so that would mean looking up release dates for those individually.
Huh, what if everyone would absolutely love (old) classical music, but we don’t see a spike as the graph starts at age of -40?

I wish they still made the disc drives like they used to. I am currently trying to find a drive that has a headphone jack, play button, and can also burn DVDs rather than just read them. But that seems to be really really rare.
Anyway, these IDE drives used to have a full CD player in them. Unfortunately, on the more modern ones, there’s just the MPC2 connector at the back. Now, that could still be worked with, but playback control would still rely on a computer.
Many earlier CD drives also included a convenient play button.How’s that useful? Welp, I want to put it into a 5.25" drive enclosure that I got. This way I could also (easily) use it as a standalone CD player.
I mean, imagine having something like those Creative Infra CD drives as an external drive 😍
