I can understand Google showing up as a danger level of permissions since google is an intricate facet of the operating system. I am finding the definitions and ratings are ok. Like you have said, great tool for viewing app permissions.

The highest app on my devices are Launcher Pro and CallHistorl I was glad to see that only two apps were displayed in the category. It was consistance with what I had expected because I've watched closely what I have installed thus far.
[Android Apps and Games] asicman:
Don't mean to mention another app in this thread, but LBE Privacy Guard offers that. You can set permissions, and if it doesn't work out then you can restore the app to a trusted state, which is the default state of an app which is not monitored. I've been using LBE for about 3 weeks or so and its great! The only thing is that the devs seemed to have dropped off the scene, as lots of common requests from users have gone unacknowledged.
[Android Apps and Games] Rico ANDROID:
Not really a false positive or a duh. Basically the app is doing nothimg more than allowing the user to view app permissions in categories according to their actual assigned permissions, nothing more.

If its an "understanding" that some apps or services have some high level permissions, it is still a good thing to see them sorted and shown in categories.
[Android Apps and Games] weakwire:
Please take some time and read "New in this version" section on android market description.
[Android Apps and Games] Rico ANDROID:
Weakwire, I am hanging on to version 1.0 because I like it in landscape view. I downloaded your latest which is portrait but no option to switch to landscape.

Still , its a 5-STAR app!
[Android Apps and Games] mentalinc:
READ_PHONE_STATE permission added for mobfox interfation (ads).

So the ad company can track the users exactly. Well past showing ads....

Shame was a good app... purhaps a pro version without the ads?
[Android Apps and Games] weakwire:
Sorry but we have to make some money. From Greece we cannot sell apps yet

For landscape we disabled it for performance. Next version we will add an option to landscape. Plz upgrade to latest the improvements are vast.
[Android Apps and Games] ventrix24:
Sure LBE Privacy Guard is a nice app, but it needs root to do most of the stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] excarnate:
I asked a lot of developers that very question, and none of them answered it the first time. Most didn't answer it the second time, apparently not understanding the question, but finally one of them said (paraphrasing) 'If we want to check your phone state, we have to get this permission, as Google doesn't unbundled "phone state" from "phone identity"'. To be fair, most developers were responsive even the 2nd time. I also see some explaining permissions in the Market blurb, which I fully support.

Personally I like apps to check my phone's state if they might interrupt me, but I really don't want most apps to get my phone's identity.

Another one in this vein, is an app asking for my coarse location. A dev said it was so AdMob could be used--it serves up location-based ads.

Unfortunately, as I learn from the latest malware, some seemingly innocuous permissions can be enough for a bad app. I'd love to have a DroidWall equivalent for permissions, so I'm looking at this app and the LBE Privacy Guard someone else mentioned, and I encourage the developers of PermissionsDog to keep this in mind. Maybe add increased functionality for rooted phones, but still do what is possible for the unrooted. A white list by default would be nice, so nothing happens on install.
[Android Apps and Games] ventrix24:
Our app got reviewed by pocketpcch!

[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
Are you familiar with the app "Permissions Denied"? Its from the same dev as busybox so you know its good.
[Android Apps and Games] Rico ANDROID:
I have tried that app before Permissions Dog. Permissions Dog has a better interfacing and sortability.

CONGRATS on your Android Market publishing!
[Nexus One General] Fking1:
I'm thinking about upgrading, but will i lose my current settings. Do i need to back up my 3rd party apps before the upgrade and restore them later to keep it's data and settings?
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
It's been a while, but from what I remember you didn't have to wipe from 6.1 -> 7. Always backup to be safe, and you could use titanium backup to backup the applications and data then wipe and install cm7 then restore TB.

Hi guys!

I see a thread on X10 forum that they have ported the Honeycomb music player to Android 2.2+: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=903516.

I try to install it on my x8 froyobread v011 and no install.

I would like to start a thread for things that have been discovered using the gingerbread leak. I can't add to the post in the development section and I dont really think its the right place. I flashed the zip posted in the dev thread. If you wipe the data before flashing then it doesn't work as the set up will try to run and will force close. I found that the super user app force closed quite abit and that it started if open from within the market. I could not get root explorer to work at all. The biggest issue I had was that it would find the sim card im unsure if this bug was intentional to prevent people using the test release. I assume that it is also related to not having a imei number while using this rom.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Well, you got a bad flash. The SIM is working and IMEI is there as well. In fact, pretty much everything seems to be working except it cannot be rooted. :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] t3b4n:
I made a succesfull instalation too, but got the same problem: not root at all. I tried z4root, gingerbreak and superoneclick.

Any other idea on how to root the device?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
But Andy said his rom is rooted??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] naturist:
His rom is rooted :) I guess there is a gingerbread leak over the Internet which is fake...the OP flashed that leak rom. :D

I thought you must be aware of the new rom :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1115487
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
People, if you want to try the russian leak... first, you must flash it via the EXE provided on that site. Otherwise, no GSM!!!

Then, root it like this:

> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf

Reboot device. Then, you need to remount /system rw, adb push flash_image binary on it and AmonRa recovery image, flash it, reboot to recovery. Now, you can flash it once again with the ZIP from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14546945&postcount=132)

Now, you will have it rooted. Notes:

- WiFi unstable

- rooting semi-unusable, highly annoying toolbox binary nonsense sticked there by LG which is probably causing this, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14553363&postcount=154 (Edit: confirmed bug by andy)

- generally, not worth the hassle

- to go back, you must use KDZ to restore stock 2.2.x ROM, otherwise, no GSM!!!

Be prepared you will end up messing with emergency mode a couple of times as well. Chances to brick your phone completely. Not for the faint-hearted people really.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] aaronbutton:
I flashed the first zip that was released for recovery, There is normally a force close from the set up app when this is done this way though, but I got around this by not clearing the data and hence it already having the data and the app not running. Maybe flashing the zip with out wiping gave me other errors. Andys zip has got around the set up FC by removing it, it also has root like the one I flashed. I found the wifi stable though for the little time I used it. I think flashing this is a waste of time though I had to do a clean install as my back up wouldn't work zeam ect, FC'd

[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Really like not having to scroll through so many "NO"'s just to flash something.

Excellent work

The busybox is awesome too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Will this work correctly on gingerbread or will it mess up the kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Flashing this cwm kernel to bml8 won't affect the gingerbread leaks, just do not flash the Clean Kernel on the gingerbread leak, or the phone won't boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I am aware about the 2nd part. Can I include this in my rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sprice5:
I've been using this with ee03 and it works fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
1. Can you make a version in red?

2. Can I use this in my rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Sure, you can use the recovery in your ROM...

As for the red, it does entail a minor edit with a recompile of the binary, and repackage of the kernel... atm, my donated vm is down, but perhaps later I can do something for ya
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Just did my first theme flash from the new recovery. Its so much better not having to scroll through the "NO's." I didn't think it was that big of a deal at first but it really is much better. Great job.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
I have been bouncing back and forth between the two as well. I have found that as long as I don't rename the folders that the backups are in, everything works like it should.

But that's where I have a question. I'd like to be able to rename the folders so I can tell whether its Froyo or Gingerbread and some other identifiers like team name and version. Every time I've tried renaming it won't let me restore, it returns "MD5 Mismatch". Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Also, is there a limit to the number of backups it will create? After I got to 10, it stopped creating the files. It did, however, go through all the motions like it was backing up and gave no errors.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Are you trying to get into clockworkmod from rom manager or the three finger boot method? Try both, depending on what you are running, sometimes you can have a different version load with each method.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vocaltreat:
I Love purple!!!!!!!!!!! Purple for the win!
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
I've been having problems with this, all my backups have the same date

12-31-05 or something to that effect.

so I'm unable to tell which backup is my recent backup in which 1 is not.

it really sucks, it makes no sense to me why every back up I do with this recovery makes this date.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I think this may be ROM related. I have had certain ROMs do this to me all the way back to DK28. There is no way to know which is which. Not sure if you can re-name it before backing up. Maybe someone can chime in here. Will re-named nandroids restore?
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
i was running the ef02 flashable when it started happening...

now im running random final 2.2 so ill backup and see if the problem is solved.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Something that may help...the bottom one is the newest one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
see if this info helps ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
That answers the. Re-naming question right there...
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
and remember to NOT leave any spaces in between the name and date or it WILL jack it up
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
the problem is, i have other nandroids with dates newer then 05 in there that show up last.

and the last one that shows up isnt the newest one, either that or its not saving correctly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
That's right. I forgot about that. It shows 2005 for the year. What ROM are you using?
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
i was using the cwm flashable EF02 that was out there...

but like many had serious issues with laggyness, and horrible battery life i switched to randomrom final, but then i was having issues with SMS not coming in until i sent a message out, then the older time stamped sms that was sent to me would show up.

i swear i run into the weirdest crap.

now i dont know where to turn to, sms is a huge thing for me, so i cant play games with a rom where the sms might not come through right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Flashed back to a 2.2 rom random rom final and its still naming the nandroids to the date 12-31-2004

I even reflashed the cwm zip and same thing.

I'm unsure what is going wrong and what I can do to fix it because its not rom related.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I have been using Urban Fury for months now..1.0 and 2.0 (the current version) and I don't have any of those issues at all. Everything works and I haven't gotten data corruption one time and no force closes. I have made 3 nandroids lately due to all of my beta testing. They all date and restore properly. I am using this recovery and Genocide 1.1 Final kernel. I have had the issue you are on a couple of ROMs in the past. Keep trying different setups. One will end up meeting all of your needs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Should I reflash a different cwm version and see if that fixes it?

I don't know what these to do.

Its using genocide kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
You can try CWM 3.0.2.5. Just keep in mind you need 3.1.0.1 to flash Gingerbread ROMs from what I have read. 3.0.2.5 will be fine with every Froyo ROM for sure. You can try flashing that and see if it fixes you up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Do you have a 3.0.2.5 zip so I can flash it?

I'm willing to try it since I'm not using buggy gb roms until they aren't leaks.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying its this recovery. I was simply suggesting thev older recovery if you have tried different Froyo ROMs, and kernels already. It would just eliminate one thing from the list of things that could possibly be wrong. Let me look for the last one for you...EDIT...bumped it for you because I am on my phone. Happy flashing and good luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Ugh my friend....

The 3025 didn't work.

I flashed it and made a backup, it did show up, but under the 12312004 date.

I'm pretty much at a loss for what I should do.

This started after going to a gb rom. Ef02 to be exact.

Now after trying a 2.2 rom and kernel the issue is still happening..
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
I find it curious that the date stamp is from 2004, android was probably just a glimmer of a fantasy back then. It seems to me like there is an internal date and time function, and somehow yours is screwed up. I'm sure you've tried going back to stock with odin, correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I had some strange issues that I think were due to switching between GB and Froyo. All of my wallpapers and pics just vanished. I got a message about wiping data partition due to corruption. I had to Odin back to stock, re-root and start all over today. Still my pics are gone. You may want to start fresh. I will swap out SD cards in the future when I switch from Froyo to Gingerbread
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
I have not.

But what I'm going to do now is remove all my nandroids and make one so I know what one it is lol.

Then I'll odin everything and start fresh, then reflash my current rom and restore the data from the nandroid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
So check this out, I went ahead and deleted all the 12-31-2004 files, there were about 10 of them.

I immediately made a backup because I was going to odin and return to stock to start fresh, I went to the backup folder to make sure it was backed up and walla, the date is back to normal.

Crazy huh?

Must of had something to do with all those similar nandroids with the same dates, must of created some error in the process which made it default to that date.

I have a request if you guys decide to update our cwm......

I was wondering if you could implement the power off option like the bonsai recovery
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
My thoughts on the date stamp issue. I have multiple batteries that I always charge externally. I naturally like to have a fresh battery when preparing to do a backup, just in case it takes a while. What I have found is that if I change my battery, then immediately 3 finger boot to ClockWork, then perform a backup, I find that the date stamp always has some kind of default and extremely out of date time stamp. The fix, for me, was to change the battery, power the phone on normally, then shut down, then 3 finger to ClockWork, then backup and I then always get the correct time stamp.

It appears to me that during a battery change the system loses the time information. Only after booting into the operating system can it then obtain the correct time and date. Hope this helps...
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
That sounds like some good logic to me, similar to a motherboard battery with cmos and bios information. Removing the battery empties the capacitors, which then in turn erases the date set by the OS. Smart man, sounds like a winner to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Sounds like a great theory. I do have the external charger and battery swap once a day. I am sure I have done that without even thinking about it..."Oh my battery is low, I better swap it out before I nandroid so it doesn't die in the middle..."
