The instructions above are for linux. Please, note that there is a little misprint in the Makefile. The correct code should be:
Code:
all: echo unpack pack
unpack:
rm -rf fs
abootimg -x boot.img
mkdir fs
(cd fs; zcat ../initrd.img | cpio -i)
repack:
(cd fs; find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../newinitrd.img)
abootimg --create newboot.img -f bootimg.cfg -k zImage -r newinitrd.img
clean:
rm -rf bootimg.cfg fs initrd.img newboot.img newinitrd.img zImage

First off thank you for the info, second that is a dangerous bit of advice as it is outdated and not confirmed to be a long standing solution. I don't fear getting my hands dirty, but there is a risk with a new device that is not cheap to toy around with.
I have tried an App today from the Play store called Keypad Lock Screen. Previews and works well until the device powers off, then it forgets the there was a lock screen.
Seriously what were they thinking here? Do they not realize that there might actually be scientists who carry around sensitive documents that should not fall into the wrong hands? Do I dare turn on device encryption and test that today as well?
Would a jump to Android 4.4 be possible and show us a fix? All ideas are welcome.
I am also contacting their Support to see what kind of customer service they have for answering this type of question.
