[citation][nom]tomaz99[/nom]Recently, a major Android security flaw was discovered that causes all of the data stored on an Android-powered smartphone to be erased.Why mention this? This wasn't malware but a security flaw (which was patched)...probably worse than malware.Just don't see how it's related, unless you list all the security flaws...maybe it was an FYI "...plus some other bad stuff too".[/citation]
[citation][nom]aftcomet[/nom]Two things Android needs to improve upon:1. Optimization2. Security[/citation]
Android by DEFAULT has very strong security measures in place, ranging from no root access to disabling third-party app markets and requiring users' authorization for every permission and install.
Once you change things, you step on unstable ground, and one should not modify their OS unless one knows exactly what they're doing.
Optimization: improved long time ago since 4.0. Now on JB even better. You need to use them.
