Pixus 10.1 3G Android 4.4.2 remove malware

Submitted by Admin on

Chinese tablets it's not only the cheap price, but in uther cases it's not funny surprises. It was the first time I've met the problem, when the stock firmware has a virus/malware. Couple of them.

MediaTek MT8392 processor, it's the twin of  МТ6582. First is used in tablets, second in phones. I want Cyanogen to run on this device, but didn't found one. I thought that it would be great to repack cyanogen mode myself. Sources are available across the net. But I keep calm, sit down and start to struggle with virus.

The UI of xscreensaver window is a bit old and not so retro as it could be. Unfortunately there is no way to customize the window view mode and elements placement (except rewrite it to your needs). But there is a field for experiments with colors and sizes for some elements.

How to kill application on Android

Submitted by Admin on

Common user most of time doesn't care about RAM of his android device, about processes that running on background etc.
User who know what is RAM install apps to clear it. But we are not common users and wont install apps to kill. We gonna kill them ourselves.

You must be root, have busybox and terminal emu installed.

You can use am force-stop <package name>.
or am kill <package name>.

am kill only kills "processes that are safe to kill": i.e. a process with no running services or activities.
