OnePlus 2 Leaked in Multiple Images, Metal Frame Tipped

oneplus_2_image_leak_kjuma_weibo

Shortly after OnePlus announced that its second flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 2, will be launching at a virtual reality event on July 27, new images of the handset have surfaced on the Web alongside new details.

The first of the two leaks was posted on China's Weibo social network, and the image shows the OnePlus 2 to sport a similar design to the OnePlus One. According to the leaked image of the OnePlus 2, the handset will feature few design differences such as a metal frame, an increased number of holes in the speaker grilles, and a black matte finish.

Considering that the image has been filtered, it is difficult to check whether the handset shown in the image is the new OnePlus 2 or still the One smartphone. KJuma, the Weibo user who posted the image, has also claimed that the handset will feature a between a 5.5-inch and 5.7-inch display.

In another leak, a couple of purported live images of the OnePlus 2 smartphone have been spotted. The images show the front and rear panels of the handset. The front panel appears similar to the One smartphone while the rear seems to have a wood finish. Leaked images however are blurry. The leaked images were obtained by PhoneArena, which also speculates the the vertical bar on the rear panel houses a fingerprint sensor.

OnePlus, ahead of the launch of the OnePlus 2, has confirmed details about its next flagship in little bits. The company revealed that the upcoming flagship would feature USB Type-C connectivity. Earlier, OnePlus confirmed it would be using v2.1 of Qualcomm's top-end mobile processor, the Snapdragon 810, in its upcoming OnePlus 2 smartphone.

Last week, the company apart from announcing the launch date for the OnePlus 2 smartphone also unveiled the OnePlus Cardboard virtual reality headset. The company as of now has not revealed pricing or availability details of the OnePlus Cardboard.

To recall, the OnePlus 2 launch event would be kicking off at 7pm PT (7:30am IST) on July 27 and would be live-streamed around the world.

[TUT]How to remove MonkeyTest and Time Service Provider for SKK LYNX

[TUT]How to remove  MonkeyTest and Time Service Provider for SKK LYNX
Sorry guys, I don't have enough time to make an update in SKK LYNX due to I'm busy in my work and  family. I made a short tutorial on how to remove this unnecessary and annoying apps.
Are you tired and stress of this unwanted apps "MonkeyTest and Time Service Provider" that always appeared in recent apps? As my opinion this unwanted apps are like a worm or virus in android phone that you can't delete or uninstall easily. It always came back when the phone was restart even I deleted it in setting/apps. I don't know there function but I think this app has nothing to do with your device.
MONKEY TEST AND TIME SERVICE PROVIDER REMOVE

I've noticed in "system/data/data/com.android.net.log" which MonkeyTest file folder uses session id which means has access in your internet or data connection. I think their main purpose to earn their money in ads without knowing it but I don't have enough evidence and I just warned you. This Agingtest.apk which included in "update v1.6" has binded of this two malware. I tried to delete Agingtest.apk and successfully "TimeService doesn't appeared anymore even on restart. One more problem is "Monkeytest.apk" which "pgk.apk"  the real path file name (using luckypatcher to determine the file location).
I also deleted it using rootexplorer found in "system/mnt/asec" but still appeared in my recent app. Then I've checked again in luckypatcher but the new file name is "com.android.wp.net.log-1.apk". I tried to delete it and change permissions but always failed to delete. Unfortunately my last sort is to flash again Stockrom V1.2 then I will make an update flash thru custom recovery. Which I will not include AgingTest.apk that binded the two malware. I believe this update can install even on rooted or unrooted Skk Lynx.





Requirements:
StockROM v1.2
SPFT
TINNO DRIVER/MTK DRIVER
Custom Recovery (Philz,CTR,CWM,TWRP)
UPDATEv1.6
Note: Before flashing make sure to clean your rom or wipe all via custom recovery
1. Flash Stockrom V1.2 via SPFT. If you already in V1.2 no need to flash it again. Just proceed to the next step.
2. After flashing download updatev1.6 then move to sd card folder. Go to Custom Recovery (philz touch/CTR) then navigate to mount system and mount data. Install updatev1.6.
Then Reboot.
3. Enjoy..lol

Note:
For other device [TUT]Alternative way to remove Monkey test and Time Service Provider.


Conclusions:
After all the studies, This is a malware called "Ghost Push Malware". My opinion was right that the attacker want to earn money from Ads. This malware affect 80% of Android users mainly Kitkat (Android 4.4). The  best way to remove this malware is to flash the original Firmware or Stockrom. Then update to Lollipop or new version if available.
