What is the secure version supposed to be
>>52963955
>closed SVN build that will certainly won't be released for your phone
>>52963915
Meanwhile, iOS and Windows are completely red blocks

Feels good having NO APPS to be exploited

My ipod touch running iOS defaults to the 1/1/1970 when i turn it on after losing power, no problems at all.
Only affects 64bit, so if you're gonna shitpost you dumb cunt try doing it properly
>>52963915
Have fun copy+pasting a picture from your computer onto your phone.
iOS is a locked down heap of shit, i'd rather possibly being vulnerable than not being able to fucking do anything.
>>52964539
i want a debian phone! Does this exist? Will it one day exist? We must support this!
>>52964777
it existed. It got stomped by Android because Android's UI was better
>>52964777
also Ubuntu Touch but it's only available on one mid-level phone in Europe
>>52964828
androids ui has become total shit since the whole material-thing! Who wants some low contrast garbage? no thanks!
>>52964894
but i don't want some app-shit like this, i want to use the same programs, like one can use arm compiled versions on the raspberry pi
>>52964894
i want to use i3 with touch managing on my debian based ultra riced phone!
>>52964898
Nigga please, the style looks way less shit than old version of Android which makes it easier to develop apps with less time spent on useless UI styling. It's also way less confusing because Google put out good guidelines on UI design so there are a clusterfuck of disparate navigation/interaction methods
>>52964951
>>52964976
It's possible to run X on Ubuntu Touch
>>52965035
>so there aren't a clusterfuck
>>52965035
> X on ubuntu touch
omg, do want do want
> old android did look bad
yes, in my opinion the best look was 4.4.4, but then google took these rainbow material-drugs and everything went down the drain. Now all is lost, there is no hope.
>>52963915
Vulnerable to what?
>>52965120
4.0/4.1 was better. fuck that withe statusbar icon shit.
>>52965120
>>> X on ubuntu touch
>omg, do want do want
We'll have to wait for some new phones to pick up the OS. Community dev is kinda dead now since Canonical stopped releasing images for common phones.
There's also the very slim possibility of Tizen OS kicking off but it's only on handhelds in S Korea right now. Tizen OS is also much more linux-heavy than android, like Ubuntu Touch, and it also can run X
>>52965168
hmm, well yes, that's a good point
>>52965194
>>52964894
i think it should be like it is with computers.
Buy a phone (Hardware)
Install any suitsble OS on it
Enjoy
>>52965251
No, that's bad goyim. Why don't you try the new iPhone? Girls will love your blue bubbles.
>>52965271
this scum (people who think blue bubbles are better tha green or pink or yellow or fuck ...) doesn't deserve me!
>>52965251
The issue is hardware support. Phones are more tightly-knit with hardware because they're trying to be as low power and compact as possible. The result is more custom, less modular components. Laptops and desktops have much more leeway with that. So more effort has to be put into making the compatible drivers.
Also Android is horribly fragmented right now so devs would have to support multiple versions of the OS. More work.
Plus every company wants to be a bunch of money grubbers and put their own proprietary shit in the OS. Same thing happens on regular computers but it's usually an additional program, not revamping the UI with Sense (as an example)
>>52965382
gentoo for phone
compile it yourself to optimize
This would be necessary, but not many people, even /g/entlemen would want to do this after buying the phone, would you?
>>52964237
;_;
>>52965428
No, I wouldn't put that much effort into a phone unless it was the God Emperor of phones
Good thing I've got cyanogenmod...
Ha completely stock note 5 here
At least my phone doesn't brick itself if the date's wrong.
>>52966614
I find it odd that of all the things you cant change on an iphone the date is one thing you can
>>52964011
As an android user and academic security researcher, I can assure you that against the overwhelming majority of threat models that people care about, iOS is immeasurably more secure than Android. Everyone in my lab uses android phones (except for thatoneguy.png.jpg who refuses to own a smart phone), but ask any one of them and they'll tell you Android's code base is a steaming pile of shit.
>>52964016
I mean, the majority of malware on Android right now is just straight up trojans, but there's no reason a stagefright worm couldn't be a thing. Only a matter of time before some Russians decide to fire up a botnet that disables SMS rate limiting and floods a mobile donation services' bank account they compromised with transactions.

>Only affects 64bit
It also apparently only affects phones with time zones negative to GMT, making it almost certainly an underflow issue.
>>52966727
>with time zones negative to GMT, making it almost certainly an underflow issue.
Does it though?
If you are, say, GMT-7 and you set your clock to 01/01/1970 and say 12:00 (midday) then if it stores the time as GMT it would store the unixtime for 01/01/1970 19:00, because you are 7 hours behind GMT.
If your timezone is GMT+7 though then it would be set to 01/01/1970 05:00 because you are 7 hours in front of GMT.
The only way for it to make sense is for it to be a positive GMT timezone.
There must be something else happening. Perhaps it even tries to work out the times for all timezones on boot so if there are any timeszones that come after you that underflow then the problem happens.
>>52963915
if you are running ios every version is vulnerable until apple fixes it
>>52966958
>Perhaps it even tries to work out the times for all timezones on boot so if there are any timeszones that come after you that underflow then the problem happens.
But then you would still expect it to affect 32bit models.
It's probably underflowing, but I don't see how it could be specially affecting 64bit versions.
>>52966727
>ask any one of them and they'll tell you Android's code base is a steaming pile of shit.
That's on purpose though. They wanted to get the #1 place on the smartphone market, and for that they had to get overly permissive in almost every way (permissions, carriers, security, etc).
I honestly think the only reason why Android hasn't gotten its own Blaster worm, is because there wouldn't be any way to make money of it while remaining anonymous. That, and because Android is so fragmented, it might be a challenge to even write a kind of virus that behaves as intended on every Android device.
>>52963955
>>52963997
WOW! FUCKING NICE MEME. WELL DONE, FRIEENDS. :^)
>>52963915
>Vulnerable
Every piece of code is vulnerable, you fucking monkey.
How Vulnerable is the real question.
fixed that image for you, OP
>>52963915
Someone is mad they just spent 1000$ on 143g slap of aluminium.
>>52968514
At least they're improving..
>>52964539
>i'd rather possibly being vulnerable than not being able to fucking do anything.
you are the internet generation that created the internet to get cucked.
>>52968708
Everyone is vulnerable.
>>52966727

Once again, don't make yourself a target. Disable MMS autofetch shit, be wary of suspicious looking messages, update your CM version, etc.
>>52964777
Not a directly a phone, but you will be able to make calls with a Bluetooth headset.
DragonBox Pyra
>>52969196
Or just use a prepaid wireless carrier. How the hell is texting to donate still a thing?
>>52963915
>>52964777
you say you want it, but I don't think you realize how bad Debian would be on a phone.
there's a reason why people laugh whenever someone says ubuntu touch, and they actually spend tons of time and money on it.
>>52964828
I still have this baby in a box somewhere. Good times.
>>52969409
The featureset on these things is fucking impressive but unfortunately they become obsolete before they're ever released.

but not rolling out updates for android is a well known issue
