Do you need to run uninstallers/cleaners on Android to maintain performance levels like on Windows? @Poldie Also, isn't defragging strictly an NTFS thing? Or does it also apply to FAT32? |

What's the security implication of having an unlocked boot loader? @ce4 Might be, it's a Samsung Galaxy Fit btw. And I just checked: CWM 5 has an option to toggle signature verification, but it was turned off by default and had never noticed it before now. And flashing CM nightly while it's on worked as usual... This is weird! but interesting :D |

What's the security implication of having an unlocked boot loader? @ce4 Then how come I rooted my device using the stock recovery? Is it exploiting a bug in the recovery or is it legitimately signed? If it is exploiting a bug, then it's as insecure as any other firmware, right? And if it's signed, well, what's the point of signing then? |

How does the Ubuntu Phone OS relate to the Android OS? Thank you for your answer :) So it seems like web apps will remain the best bet for compatibility, all platforms included. But it's a good thing that at least the drivers are compatible! |

How do I make my email alert *annoying*? @fluffy I think you can turn it off by opening the notifications area. And maybe as for phone calls, press the volume down button. |

Can adb start my android device that shows up as “offline”? @hugemeow That was the point of my question, but I did not get an answer... I still don't know what it is, but if you are getting this, there is something wrong. I flashed another ROM, and everything was OK again. I'm not sure what was causing it... |

Why is the SD-card mounted to “/sdcard/external_sd” instead of “/sdcard” (or “/mnt/sdcard”)? If both the external storage and the /data partition are merged, how could I safely mount/unmount my SD card to plug it, say, in my PC? It seems to me that having separate partitions is logical and I don't see why all that had to happen. |

How to detect who is downloading apk files in background? I don't know if it would help anyway because the app that technically started the notification is the "Downloads" app most probably... What you need to know is the app that started that one, which you might be able to find in the logcat. |

How to detect who is downloading apk files in background? @Hit You might be able to get something from the logcat , something like "starting intent download.app.whatever.it.is.called", but I'm not sure it will give you the name of the app that started it... But an app that will do that for you (if that's even feasible), it's pretty unlikely you'll ever find one. IMO your best bet might be manually trying to kill each one and see... |

How to detect who is downloading apk files in background? @RichardBorcsik It is very unlikely all his apps are running, and some task manager apps can prevent the apps from restarting (in case they do, not all apps will restart), so killing let's say 5 suspicious apps one or two at a time shouldn't be that much of a problem. Just by seeing which ones are running (and not expected to be) you would have eliminated half of the possibilities. |
