Re: Have just cancelled my Jolla - have others done the same?
 

Ah, maybe I haven't mentioned, but I'm currently the sailor who is responsible for security and locking areas for Jolla device.

So says me.

But we can always use help from extra security engineer when the OS gains popularity... just hoping that we never need to bring Aegis back. ;)

Re: Have just cancelled my Jolla - have others done the same?
 

I'm available!

Oh that's not what you meant. :D

Re: Have just cancelled my Jolla - have others done the same?
 

LOL :) quite funny.

Re: Have just cancelled my Jolla - have others done the same?
 

Aegis is sadly terrible, IMO, because of three things:
- Lack of token granularity (arguably this is hard to improve because it forces a server-client IPC architecture _everywhere_, and eventually you obtain something like Android has)
- User not in control.
- Integrity validation crap.

If all 3 issues can be fixed -- then I would actually willingly install such a "security" platform on my device. Because the ability to prevent $RANDOM_STORE_PROGRAMS from placing phone calls is interesting.

Re: Have just cancelled my Jolla - have others done the same?
 

Store programs should not be able to place random phone calls nor hidden sms messages. All those things that can cause costs to end users should basicly open sailfish sms and phone applications, and end user needs to manually press send or call button.

But of course if you sideload root suid applications while in developer mode, then $RANDOM_NON-STORE_NATIVE_APPS can cause you costs by sending hidden smses. (Android apps cant make hidden phonecalls nor sms messages).

as long as you are not doing: Facebook, twitter, whatsapp, skype... what are your favorite android apps?

Re: Have just cancelled my Jolla - have others done the same?
 

Android compatibility layer is not part of Sailfish OS. We cannot of course know whats inside propriatary android binaries that you download from different stores.

Where's itsnotabigtruck? Miss him.

Re: Have just cancelled my Jolla - have others done the same?
 

I saw him on irc few days ago. Maybe he is disapointed that there is nothing to crack in Jolla as we are just using Unix permissions in device and offer _real_ root for developers.

Re: Have just cancelled my Jolla - have others done the same?
 

sorry I did not meant that but I am shure that many people think that the phone is save and they install every stuff which is "missing" in SailfishOS from android and than then ...
