Anyone have an answer for how to watch what is getting pulled, read, or otherwise off your HD?
as a pger, i know the tedious task that was involved here... they wanted it to work, to make a backdoor would be adding functionality which would require source... i imagine they just removed the limitations of the last xolox update... however, you are right in your assumption, it is of course possible, but IMHO improbable. peace.
