I use the Tor bundle on my Apple 10.6.8 and Orbot on my Android tablet
4.2.2, strictly as a client. I am also technologically-challenged, hence
this message for help. I apologize if doesn't belong on this list, so
redirect me if necessary. Recently, the opportunity has presented itself
to upgrade the Android 4.2.2 to the 4.4.2 Kit Kat version, and I am
undecided as to what to do because of my inability to interpret Google's
cautionary disclaimer, to wit:
"Cautions:
1. Google has changed the external storage policy for Android
4.4x KitKat. Now only the preloaded system applications
have permission to write files to external storage (micro SD
card). Third party applications you may have installed will
lose write access to he micro SD card. If you would like to
retain micro SD cad write permission for third-party
applications as found in Android 4.2x Jelly Bean, just skip
this software update notification and NEVER execute
"Download Now" to update to Android 4.4x.
2. After updating the software you will not be able to downgrade
to older software versions because of updates to the
security policy."
So, my problem is that I do not understand the consequences of the
upgrade to my existing (mainly privacy/security-oriented) applications
and any future applications I may want to employ. Further, will the
upgrade prevent me from rooting the device in future (I also need help
on this, too)?
Much obliged for setting me straight.
