Force close

Hey mate thanks for the great work and time but I have a force close problem. I have hyperdroid 6.0.15 installed with siyah kernel, and installed pdroid patch found with the hyperdroid rom in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21773886&postcount=50

I chose 6.0.15 version of course and flashed patch with CWM, wiped dalvik again, restarted and installed pdroid app from market. App list refreshed only till 21 out of 200 or so apps and force closed. DDMS log is attached as text file. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] nk7:
Nevermind - solved it by going into preferences and unticking "cache application list". Loaded everything but if I tick that preference then force closes.

Cheers

Everything working fine so far. Here are the patch and restore files for LG GT540 Pcfighter's CM7 v5 ROM. These should work on v6 as well, but try at own risk. :)

Patch

Restore. :)

EDIT: forgot to mention. CyanogenMod version is CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC0-Swift-KANG. Not an official one, but not for the CM 7.1 section, if anyone at all cares to add it.

I have problems with multiple devices roms, like RcMix3d and Virtuous Affinity and windows patcher. If i select any of these roms, PDPatcher will state that these are not valid Android roms. Non multiple devices roms are working fine. Any solution for this problem?

Hi. Could someone please create a patch for this ROM ?

Thank you :D

Windows patcher worked fine on win7 machine, cm7.2 nightly- smooth installation.

Anyway, could be nice to be able to save/restore multiple backups so if I mess up too much (got lots of apps) it is possible to restore permissions at a certain time.

And, what about to group/sort the apps by property (e.g. select all or a group of apps requesting imei and change permissions for all of them etc). Or a filtering mechanism like titanium backup have.

Pdroid, as far as I understand, can sort only user/system/both, and one must change settings for each app individually?

And, maybe logging of events instead of popup (lots of apps, lots of popups...) so one can browse offline...

error log

Hello, very interested to use PDroid!

I was able to patch the files successfully with the Linux patcher. Next, I did 1) wipe cache 2) wipe dalvik cache 3) install zip 4) reboot

My phone is in a bootloop. Attached is the log from ddms. Can you please take a look and see if the errors are related to the patch zip? If I have time I am also going to try patching a fresh install of my ROM. I'm on SGS2 AT&T variant with UnNamed ROM (2.3.4 based). I have not modified any of the files that are patched.

Any help would be appreciated!

Or do both do different things?
[Android Apps and Games] Number R09:
correct, sense 3.5 is a no go. Read here

been discussed, check back through the thread. short version: PDroid is much better because of the way it works. check here
[Android Apps and Games] svyat:
Not in the near future.

Check this directory /out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/framework_intermediates/src/privacy/java/android/privacy. If you have two files there: IPrivacySettingsManager.java and IPrivacySettingsManager.P, you're fine, just continue building your ROM. If not, try removing /out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/framework_intermediates/src/privacy/ and /out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/framework_intermediates/src/location/ and running make update-api again.

Thanks, I'll try to fix.

Thanks for info, will fix in the next patcher version.

That's weird. Post a download link to your ROM, I'll take a look.

I'll take a look, thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] ballmead:
Just a quick question, what permissions do you feel are better to block and what should be left alone?
[Android Apps and Games] Number R09:
I block everything after an install, prior to initial start, then start my app/game and see if it works. If it doesn't I go back and try "random" where possible, then try again. I "allow" only when I must. I do leave "GPS" and "Network locations" available for my camera app, as I use geo-tags. My calander keeps "contacts name and numbers", etc. Think about what you need your app to do, and leave those permissions be.

It takes a while, but I don't mind because I keep as much data private as possible this way.

Trouble creating patch for HTC Incredible CM 7.1.0

I'm trying to create my own patch for my HTC Incredible running CyanogenMod 7.1.0

I emailed a patch request a while ago but nothing materialized...

So im trying to build one myself in (puppy) Linux but im a noob, and i keep getting a Bash: jar: command not found error in the terminal.

I downloaded and installed:

Pdroid Patcher v1.27

a copy of my CM7.1 rom

jre 1.6.0.20

fastjar_0.98-1build1

What am i missing or doing wrong?

Alternatively, if someone can build one for me i would greatly appreciate it, i'm currently traveling in SE Asia and only have access to public computers on a limited basis.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Number R09:
that's a great idea. would make setting up each app easier. another idea could be a user-selectable option for a set of customized defaults PDroid would use when an app is installed.

ie; i install [new app] and PDroid sets everything to "block" for me (my custom defaults), or block everything but GPS location, or whathaveyou. if the app doesn't require a certain permission, PDroid overlooks that custom option just like it does now. this would save going in and modifying everything to start with.

btw, i really like the new UI as well. very easy to understand, nice work svyat.

anyone tried this patch on checkrom v4 for sgs2? it does apply sucessfully but need some feedbacks first
[Android Apps and Games] stone_ship:
Thanks for looking into this. I tried again with a fresh install. ddms log attached--this time the whole thing. Also attaching output from patcher utility. I am using UnNamed ROM 1.3.2 for US AT&T SGS2 from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1299474

(v.1.3.2 download link in 2nd post.)

A couple of things:

1) This time I had to use Win patcher. I'm travelling and dont have access to my Linux machine.

2) I was able to patch and boot two I9100 (int'l SGS2) ROMs and install and use PDroid. VillainROM 3.0 and GingerMOD 0.7 -- both based on KI3. I guess this problem is due to some AT&T-specific modifications?

Anyway, I hope this will help!

[Android Apps and Games] Theraze:
This is based on my reading, but... that error means you haven't fixed your path to make jar available. Whether FastJar sets that or not, you need it somehow. If you're sold on using FastJar, look on their site for how to fix your path. If you haven't launched a new sh since your install or rebooted, try that and see if it works after...
[Android Apps and Games] Chimpdaddy:
Exactly! Its like a battle to have control over you own device.
[Android Apps and Games] Number R09:
go into your settings and disable the notification, not the individual apps your are blocking. PDroid's settings.
[Android Apps and Games] svyat:
Updated the patcher for Windows. Multi-device ROMs like virtuous affinity and runny should get patched properly now.

You can enable notifications for individual apps as well as globally for all apps in the preferences. Make sure you disable both.

Good idea, will put on my (long) to-do list ;)

Just use the patcher for windows. Should be easier ;)

Thanks for info, now I can see what the problem is. It's the same issue the SE_Tweaked ROM has. I'll try to fix it in the next patcher release.

I tried the windows patcher, before puppy Linux, but most computers here, (I'm traveling in SE Asia) run Xp, and from what I saw in the form it doesn't work on xp.

I didn't want to post my failure to get the patcher to work with xp since I am continually changing public computers, and I figured that I would try a portable Linux distribution in order to have a consistent experience.

Thanks! I've been looking forwards to using PDroid since I first learned of its existence and finally de-lazied enough to log the error before running the restore patch.

Is there a patch compatible with HTC Amaze running beastmod 2.2.0?
[Android Apps and Games] Theraze:
There will be if you build one... svyat has made it incredibly easy to create patches in either *nix or Windows, so just download the appropriate patcher, point it at your rom zip, and try it out. Remember to copy in the restoration patch too, if it doesn't work for some reason.
[Android Apps and Games] Sandpapers:
Any need to update your pdroidpatcher and redo the rom you're using when the pdroidpatcher gets an update? Or should I just continue to use the one im using.

Also, thanks for everything this is amazing

Edit: disabling everything in the pdroid settings. its actually called preferences, does NOT take away the notifications. Example (boat browser access to gps location blocked) I want those popups gone. is that possible because nothing anyone has said to me has worked so far.

[Android Apps and Games] svyat:

[Android Apps and Games] andreasy:
I'm just asking for feedback from those who had experience with both already. Not everyone has the time to test every new app.
[Android Apps and Games] devrruti:
Thank you a lot for this app, im going to test it. I also use lbe, one thing I like about lbe is network control, but this one is much much more complete with permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] svyat:
Oh, I see. Well, if I my opinion is worth anything to you, I have experience with them both. Of course, I think that PDroid is a better solution, because:

Applicaitons do NOT crash when access to private data is blocked (unlike with Permissions Denied or CM)

Fine-grained tuning of access to private data

No background service needed

Very small memory footprint (~700KB)

No impact on battery life

No impact on performance (5ms overhead on access to private data; yes, that's 0.005s)

100% reliable unlike ROOT applications (LBE), which need to start their background service on boot (see android underground to learn why this is an issue)

No ROOT required for the app to run

No Android permissions required for the app to run

Open-source

The only major downside is that the installation is more complicated than that of LBE.

P.S. I am actually thinking about making the patch installation possible from within the PDroid app. But that would require PDroid to acquire ROOT (for patching ROM files) and the INTERNET permission (for downloading the patch). And that's something I'd like to avoid, since I care about users' privacy and security, so I'm somewhat indecisive.
[Android Apps and Games] svyat:
Speaking of the network control. PDroid does not include that, since doing it properly would require modifying the kernel for each device, and that would make porting PDroid to different devices much more difficult and time consuming. Alternatively, controlling network can be done using ROOT (like LBE does it), but as I said above I would like to avoid requiring ROOT for the PDroid app to run. Plus, using ROOT access for network control is not 100% reliable.

Either way, if you disallow access to private data using PDroid, it doesn't matter if an application has network access, since it has no access to private data in the first place and cannot leak it.
[Android Apps and Games] devrruti:
I guess we could combine droidwall firewall app with this one. I find very easy, useful and comfortable the way lbe lets you control which apps access the network, WiFi or 3g. I don't mind an open source app to ask for root permissions for a good cause.

I am getting an error trying to apply the patch, I'm using a dark ics theme, that I installed through cwm too, would that affect?

Looks like there was a problem with the flash script. I've updated it now. Please re-download the patch and try flashing again.
[Android Apps and Games] devrruti:
One easy way would be to be able to download the patch from within the app to save it in the SD. But let the user be responsible for using cwm to backup and apply patch. Just provide the instructions within the app. No root for that and users can't blame you
[Android Apps and Games] svyat:
True, but for that it would still need the INTERNET and the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Nevertheless, it's a good suggestion, I might do it this way.

BTW, did the fixed patch work? :)
[Android Apps and Games] jb789:

those are less of a concern when you are talking about opensource...

if there is any ever doubt to your intentions for those permissions

one can easily check the code for anything nefarious.

btw...

I patched this to my kanged cm7 for captivate...works fantastic....Thank you,

YOU ROCK!!! :)

althought you should post the app somewhere other than the market...

I fear this may get shutdown as other permission attempts like this have already faced the gauntlet...

also, is the app opensource too or just the patches?
