[Q] Security of rooted Android devices topic

Hello!

I have some basic questions about the security of rooted android devices. I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 actually on my SGS3. Of course I rooted it to install custom Recovery and ROM. So is there any possibility for an App to get Root Access without recognition?
I dont need the Root access anymore, I only wanted to install Cyanogenmod and thats it. What to do to fully unroot Cyanogen?

Another question:
If i have enabled "only install from trustet sources" am I safe? Or could there be sort of drive-by-downloads for example on this site sometimes i get the pop-up "your phone has (13) viruses, click ok ...".

Yeah thats it, I'm a little bit paranoid especially according to my passwords, are they safe!?

Thanks a lot and Greets from Germany! :)

HELP MEE PLEASEE

Disable lockscreen security when connected to AW, BT, or WIFI device. ROOT REQUIRED topic

OK, so I have to use my fingerprint to unlock my phone. For me this gets annoying when I am in my car or extremely busy working and my screen times out. this wouldn't be so much of a problem if the note 4 had lollipop but we dont at the moment.

I solved this using the following:

Root
Xposed
and a module called NO LOCK HOME

You can set it to any bluetooth or wi-fi connection, or to a specific one. I set mine to my car but changed it to any bluetooth because of my moto 360 and hands free are the only other devices that connect over bluetooth. Plus if you go out of range it auto locks or when the the screen is off depending on your settings.

you can download NO LOCK HOME straight from xposed installer

Disable lockscreen security when connected to AW, BT, or WIFI device. ROOT REQUIRED topic

Originally posted in TMO Note 4, but it should work for your variant too
If you notice anything missing or you use an app I don't and would like it added jut let me know
OK, so I love changing the DPI of my phone and apps. so i thought why not share what I know with others.
These are the apps that I feel are needed to be changed , so if you think i missed one just tell me and I'll add it.
another note i don't use the touchwiz launcher and different roms can use one that's modded.

of course your phone needs to be ROOTED

you can use whatever app you like to change your DPI, I used xposed app settings and would suggest the same

NOTE 4 default DPI is 640


In xposed app settings to change your system DPI you turn on
android system & system ui
and change it to your desired DPI (320 for me).
(you can also change it using the build.prop)

I guess its necessary to say this:
IF YOU CHANGE YOUR DPI IN ANY WAY, DO AS STATED BELOW

These apps you will need to change back to stock: 640
camera
camera test
com.sec.android.gallery3d.panorama360view
com.sec.android.ofviewer
com.sec.android.sviewcover
com.sec.phone
contacts
gallery
incallui
com.android.mms
phone
photo studio
s health
samsung camera filter
touchwiz home
video trimmer

not changing some can cause it to not function properly or FC

These setting are recommended if you use them:
S-Voice
- you don't have to change the dpi to stock unless you want to but if you get a FC change the screen dp to 480x854
Samsung Keyboard
- you can leave it the same as your new DPI or change it to stock DPI if the secondary icons alignment bothers you, check the box 'apply res to widgets',
Lockscreen (com.android.keyguard)
- you don't have to change this one back to stock but if you use lockscreen security the bottom will look weird
- to change it to stock, enter the stock DPI (640) and check the box 'apply res to widgets'. A reboot will be requried

If you use smart remote, set it up before changing your DPI because it might make the setup FC but the app will still work fine

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO HIT SAVE ON EACH ONE AND REBOOT YOUR PHONE AFTER

IF I MISSED ANYTHING OR YOU WANT ANYTHING ADDED PLEASE TELL ME :)

THIS ARE MY PERSONAL SETTINGS AND IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THE SAME ITS AT YOU OWN FREE WILL
