There is an app like that. It needs root. Called privacy blocker. The "patching" takes 10-20mins depending on your phone/tablet and sometimes it doesnt work.

Also Privacy blocker doesnt notify you when it blocks something. And because of the nature of the app, most newer apps or updated ones block it.

in short, an app that does what you want is time consuming and does violate the copyright agreement of apps since it would be 'modifying' something some one owns and has distributed on the google play store. This app svyat made doesn't modify the app that is owned by its creator but modifies how an open source OS (android OS) deals with it's permissions

I have a problem with the PDROID patch I made for Cyanogenmod 7.2 Rc1 (kang, unofficial build by Adfad approx 20th April) on Lg Optimus One. I try to patch the rom, it completes, I flash it but when it comes to boot the bootanimation freezes and to use the phone I have to remove the battery and flash again the "restore" patch. What am I doing wrong? I've already tried mounting /system.

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] Theraze:
The 'official' Linux patcher got discontinued. There are still older versions floating, as were reposted a few posts above your question, but if you want PDroid in Linux, your best bet is either patching the source directly or running a Windows VM.

Can't wait to test the upgrade! I refuse to upgrade to ICS until this works. Once you have PDroid, you can't go back to a ROM without it!

Anyone tryed this on minicm7?
[Android Apps and Games] mateorod:
I have to admit to not having read the whole thread here, first off. So, apologies for that.

CM9 Roms only!

I have been working with pastime1971 on bringing a port of PDroid to ICS. As of right now, we feel pretty good about our port/patch for CM9 roms.

If you would like to test the patch, please PM me with a link to a zipped-up copy of the build.prop and framework, core,and services.jar from the CURRENT CM9 NIGHTLY!

Be forewarned, I am putting the patched system apps into a package-manager called BotBrew. Here is how it works for the Samsung Vibrant. We already offer packages for the LG-P930 and Nook Color. Here is the XDA article on the process.

It is free from Google Play: no ads, on its way to being open-source, no one is trying to make any money.

But this way when a ROM is patched I can just send other people with that ROM to the app instead of patching and sending system-apps to everyone individually. Plus, when the system-apps go out-of-date in the CM repo (maybe once a month), updates are easy.

If you are not willing to try the app, you will have to wait until we get a patcher put together or svyat puts his out!

Thanks to svyat for developing PDroid, as always, and inportb for Botbrew.

Btw, those having 64bit OSes, don't forget that the PDroid patcher needs the 32bit installation of the JDK.

I know it seems silly, but after reinstalling the OS, I forgot to install the 32bit JDK (only the 64bit) and it took me a few hours to determine why PDroid patcher failed to create the patched ZIPs :)

P.S. it was probably mentioned before, but i thought I'd remind people that PDroid patcher needs the 32bit JDK.

Sigh, I'm really stuck here. On step two it says to patch your rom. Well when I run the application it asks me to find my rom and I'm not exactly sure where it's at. I downloaded it straight to my phone through the browser months upon months ago and have no idea where it's at.

I'm running CM7.1 on a Evo 4G if that helps any.

I apologize for sounding so dumb here I really do. But if someone could help me locate my rom I'd greatly appreciate it. Or at least point me in the direction of where I can DL it in case I have accidentally deleted it, which I think I may have. Any ideas on a newer/better rom that would work with this app would be great too.

[Android Apps and Games] eViLsTieFel:
This is my problem, aswell. CWM creates multiple .tar-files, not a single .zip. As I'm using DjangoManouche (which is 2.3.7, so Gingerbread), I cannot use the regular zip with which the ROM is distributed, as it's using the Aroma Installer which seems to confuse the patcher (says: "not a valid android rom").

Any help much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] SGH-I717:
How I got this to work on my back up:

If you haven't deodexed your ROM, You need to do this first.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1600805

You also need signapk.jar ( research it! )

1) Make a backup of your deodexed ROM

2) Your going to need the system folder (from system.ext4.tar) and the boot.img - copy those to your computer.

Edit: All you need is the system folder.

3) Zip them it up = "ROM.zip" ( I used 7zip normal compression )

4) Sign the "ROM" zip with signapk.jar, this is going to make the META-INF you need inside the zip to make the pdroid patch.

5) Patch the "ROM" zip with Pdroid Patcher and your ready to load up CWM and try the patch you made. (always remember to copy over the *RESTORE* just incase things don't pan out)

Don't use the "ROM" zip you made other than for making a pdroid patch. IT IS NOT A ROM, It will probably brick your phone! Don't ask me why, I'm not a ROM maker

Patcher 1.27 does not work with this method (for me anyway) - probably compressed incorrectly.

1.31 & 1.32 will create the patch needed, I got 1.31 to work on my note - 1.32 just hangs at boot up.

_______________________________________

Edit:

All you need is your system folder - you can also pull this off your phone with adb or copy it to your physical sd card

Remember! Your phone/rom must be deodexed first.

[Android Apps and Games] eViLsTieFel:
Thanks, this helped me tons, and I've successfully created a flashable zip. But, when running this with CWM, it just returns:

Edit:

Since it's only three files, I've just pushed them to "/system/framework" using adb, but this now has resulted in my device going into a bootloop. I've restored my backup, and I think that my problem is that I've used PDroid Patcher v1.32 Beta 0.321.

You said this might cause problems and you used 1.31. I will try again using that version.

Cheers,

Steffen

Notify app update (because persmissions might change too...)

I wanted to add the fact that it happened to me that when I updated some applications - they became more permissions hungry. Sometimes it seems that the application was without important permissions and on update it started to give many permissions for free, just because I haven't noticed that the permissions are changed.

Sound for me like a permission trap or trick... first give an app without permission and then update it with many permissions after few days...

So it would be great feature to add notification for app update.

Applied the pdroid recovery patch, loaded it up, got to my lock screen, looked like it was still doing it for a sec and stopped.

Anybody with similar problems?

I've been suspicious for this long time ago but I wanted to be 100% sure before posting. I've noticed this both with the provided patch for ARHD 6.3.x and with the patch I made with the 1.32 tool.

The problem is that I configure my privacy settings but afterwards I notice that some of them ramdomly appear as trusted. Not all of them but most of them. Yesterday, I spent 1 hour again and reconfigured all my apps so that noone (at least where reasonably possible) uses contacts or call list permissions. Today, after changing my superuser (changing from supersu to superuser), I noticed that most of them (not all) where trusted with full permissions. I don't believe that su change caused this because I noticed it several times in the past.

ConclusionL Permissions are not stored correctly.

create log-file

Very interesting tool, thank you. Was a little hard to me running this on my Desire (Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 Special Edition), but it works now...

Ther are many APPs and processes I don't know, what they are doing and which rights they need (not like!). If I restict some to hard I get bad results on things I like to run.

So it would be nice to create a log-file to check, which process/app causes an error on specific time/event (for example: weather-widget doesn't show results for my location - there must be an entry in log-file, that weather-widget may not track position via network and GPS).

Is there any possibility?
