BREAKING: Google Announced New Rules For Sideloading Apps
1. Enable developer mode
2. Confirm you aren't being coached:
A quick check to make sure that no one is talking you into turning off your security as scammers often pressure victims into disabling protections.
3. Restart your phone & reauthenticate:
This cuts off any remote access or active phone calls a scammer might be using to watch what youβre doing.
4. Come back after the protective waiting period and verify:
There is a one-time, one-day wait & then you can confirm that this is really you whoβs making this change with our biometric authentication or device PIN. Scammers rely on manufactured urgency, so this breaks their spell.
5. Install apps:
Once you confirm you understand the risks, youβre all set to install apps from unverified developers, with the option of enabling for 7 days or indefinitely. For safety, youβll still see a warning that the app is from an unverified developer, but you can just tap βInstall Anyway.β

BREAKING: Nekogram is secretly transmitting your telegram account phone number to the developer
According to SOTA,
"The backdoor is hidden in the http://Extra.java file, which differs from the template uploaded to the repository. The obfuscated code sends data as an inline request to the @nekonotificationbot, leaving no trace. The same file implements account 'doxing' via several bots; it is possible that the leaked data is used to populate their databases."
Additionally, the creator of the Nekogram client, (presumably a Chinese national) was previously known for conducting DDoS attacks and unethical online behavior (including death threats against acquaintances).
Apparently, in the early versions of the client, de-anonymization was applied only to Chinese phone numbers, which could have been used for political surveillance;. However, it is now applied to all users.

EXPOSED: Source Code Evidence of Nekogram Phone Number Harvesting
1. Exfiltration Logic: The function uo5.g() (reconstructed as logNumberPhones) silently collects the UserID and Phone Number of every account logged into the app (up to 8 accounts).
2. Transmission: Data is sent via Inline Queries to the bot @nekonotificationbot. This is done programmatically, so no message appears in your "Sent" history.
3. Target Bots: Three bots embedded in the client's obfuscated code:
@nekonotificationbot: Receives the automated phone number uploads.
@tgdb_search_bot and @usinfobot: : An OSINT bot mentioned in the obfuscated classes.
4. Security Token: The app uses a hardcoded secret key 741ad28818eab17668bc2c70bd419fc25ff56481758a4ac87e7ca164fb6ae1b1 as a prefix for the stolen data, likely to authenticate with the bot's backend.
5. The image shows that Nekogram always wants to get the "reg date".
Unfortunately the Google Play Store version is also affected!!!

Nekogram appears to be using the TgDB Search Bot in an automated manner (without our knowledge; this is not a partnership), likely to search for usernames.
However, this is unrelated to their obfuscated scraping of phone numbers; we do not receive any data from Nekogram and are in no way affiliated with them.

Read, If Telegram isn't working for you.. and you don't want to use the VPN just for that..
- Go to..

Or if you're too lazy to find one, just, add all of these by clicking on it..

Your project is amazing, thank u.
It's very exhausting to wait 15 minutes for Swift Backup to back up my apps, compress /sdcard into a 7z archive, wait another 20 minutes to transfer the entire 87GB archive to my PC at 50 to 82MB/s, format the storage, and then transfer the 7z file back to my phone.
By the way, my backup created by Swift Backup is 100GB compared to the 87GB archive. The only difference is the backup method used

π View Source or Download
β How to Use
β οΈ A Personal Note:
- by @BuildBytes
ROM Shifter is a highly advanced, pure shell-based utility designed to make Android custom ROM migrations painless, fast, and completely automated.
β¨ What's Inside:
- π¦ Lightning-Fast Migrator: Backs up ~52.77 GB in just 7m 28s (Internal Storage, UFS, 312 Apps). Superior compression of APK + Splits and Data, beating premium alternatives.
- π€ Smart Auto-Flasher: Drop your ZIPs in the folder and let the daemon flash them sequentially. A lifesaver for broken touch recoveries.
- πΎ Live Partition Manager: Safely dump or flash core partitions (boot, recovery, custom) directly from a booted OS.
- π Mini File Explorer: A fully offline, paginated terminal file manager to easily manage your#Shifterworkspace.
- π οΈ System Utilities: 1-click debloater, apps systemizer, and AOT DexOptimization for instant UI fluidity after a clean flash.
π View Source or Download
β How to Use
β οΈ A Personal Note:
This is the first and final release from my side. I no longer have the time to maintain, update, or work on root-related projects. ROM Shifter is fully featured, highly optimized, and open-source.
If anyone wants to fork it, add new features, or continue development, you are more than welcome to carry the legacy forward.
Thank you to the Android custom ROM and ROOT community for all the support! β€οΈ

I'm trying my best to optimize the app as further i can hence it will take time for a release π€§ but you all will love that (it's even faster than script xd)

Does anyone have time to test the ROM Shifter App? π€§
Please DM @ShastikXD only if you have any of these:
- Using ARM7-only Device
OR
- Using Stock ROM
OR
- Using Android 11 or Below
For the rest, π€§
Just out of curiosity (mainly needed suggestions for features XD) π
What's that one thing you almost always do manually after switching to a new ROM and after Rooting?
Excluding the obvious stuffs like flashing, apps backups, and restores...
Curious to know everyone's pre/post-install routine.

Ofc it will jump percentage suddenly sometimes because of parallel processing but that's all I can do without compromising on speed..
