PSA: I read this and wanted to share it with our readers. Let’s be grateful that these fine folks are the goodguys. Thanks to Zhi Xu, Kun Bai, and Sencun Zhu for your hard efforts to discover these security concerns so that we, the public, are aware of them. Here is the abstract idea in the Whitepaper. You may download the complete PDF at the end.
“Today’s smartphones are shipped with various embedded motion sensors, such as the accelerometer, gyroscope, and orientation sensors. These motion sensors are useful in supporting the mobile UI innovation and motion-based commands. However, they also bring potential risks of leaking user’s private information as they allow third party applications to monitor the motion changes of smartphones.
In this paper, we study the feasibility of inferring a user’s tap inputs to a smartphone with its integrated motion sensors. Specifically, we utilize an installed trojan application to stealthily monitor the movement and gesture changes of a smartphone using its on-board motion sensors. When the user is interacting with the trojan application, it learns the motion change patterns of tap events. Later, when the user is performing sensitive inputs, such as entering passwords on the touchscreen, the trojan application applies the learnt pattern to infer the occurrence of tap events on the touchscreen as well as the tapped positions on the touchscreen.
For demonstration, we present the design and implementation of TapLogger, a trojan application for the Android platform, which stealthily logs the password of screen lock and the numbers entered during a phone call (e.g., credit card and PIN numbers). Statistical results are presented to show the feasibility of such inferences and attacks.” (Opening quote from the attached Taplogger paper. Used with permission.)
Zhi Xu, Kun Bai, and Sencun Zhu have devised a way to steal passwords using the motion sensors in our devices. It’s brilliant but quite frightening considering what information they are able to get. I’ve attached the .pdf file which contains their entire paper on taplogger and their thoughts on it. Please read and share this. Thank you.

Root Access Preview
I recently stumbled upon something we here at Android Insomnia have been searching for, for a long time. MIUI stock file explorer with ROOT ACCESS!
This is an .APK that you install like any other, no need to adb push or anything of the sorts. Just tap and go.
Best thing about this app is that it works great with MIUI but also plays nice on other builds. Though maybe not as well as on MIUI it still does its greatest functions.
I would like for all of you to try out and give us and the creator your feed back, if we get good feedback on it. we will do our best to work with everyone to get this app built into our ROMS!
