Well, I am sure that it works on my device. Are you using the latest patch/app version 1.27/1.31? What device/ROM do you use?

Great! At least it works for someone ;)

Yeah, that's how it works.

Try the updated version 0.23. It should not crash anymore but at least display an error message to help me understand what the issue is.

Not at the moment.

hi,

Apologise if this has been asked before..i just found out about this as i am a new user..

Can someone please tell me if there's a patch i can use for Samsung Galaxy Ace. I'm on CM7.1.

Do i need to download the software from market first and then install the patch?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] svyat:
You could also try the following:

Connect to your phone's shell via adb (adb shell)

Run cat < /proc/self/cmdline and cat < /proc/self/cgroup

Post here the output you get

This would help me to identify the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] svyat:
There is no pre-made patch but you can use the PDroid Patcher to make one for your ROM.

It doesn't matter if you first download the app or flash the patch, nothing is going to explode ;). But the app will only work after you've flashed the patch.

[Android Apps and Games] svyat:
Thanks for your feedback. Will fix that in the next version.

If you want to keep your other mods, get your /system/framework/framework.jar, /system/framework/services.jar and /system/framework/core.jar from your phone and put them into the corresponding directory in your ROM zip file. THEN make the patch based on your ROM zip file.

Never had that one. Looks like the apktool fails to build the files in to a jar. That is out of my control. Probably you've got a very weirdly modified ROM (even though it's not ICS) ;)

Thanks for info, I see what the problem is. Will try to fix in the next patch release.

What errors?

Looks like you're low on memory. Try rebooting and patching again ;). If it doesn't help I'll try manually increasing the heap size in the next patcher release.
[Android Apps and Games] frsp2:
Thanks svyat.

By the way I have serious concerns regarding harmless apps list.

I can provide at least one example of application that should not be there under no circumstances.

So if careless user installs such an app and overlooks PDroid settings due to hidden "harmless app" list - the data leaks and it compromise the whole PDroid idea and mission.
[Android Apps and Games] moccor:
If the person knows how to flash the files necessary to get PDroid working, I'm sure they know how to read haha. I went through all 120 of my apps and changed what I wanted, everyone else has the choice to do the same. That's just a quick way of helping you know which apps should have settings blocked, but of course nothing is perfect. Especially without comments such as yours, he may never of figure out which app it is your talking about. Svyat can't take any blame for someone installing this free app at their own will.

[Android Apps and Games] svyat:
Filtering out "harmless applications" only removes applications without internet access, which is clearly states in the preferences. Give me some examples please and also explain why that app isn't harmless from the privacy point of view (i.e., how it can steal your data without internet access).

Don't think that it's a version problem. When does this happen? Right after you start the patcher or when you try to create a patch?

Can't tell yet, will port it as soon as I get all recently discovered bugs fixed. I wouldn't like porting PDroid to ICS before it's really solid ;)

Keep Up The Great Work!

Hi svyat,

I just wanted to make a short post after lurking for quite some time. Once you posted the Windows patcher, the "convenience factor" just became so good that I finally decided to take the plunge and put PDroid on my N1 (w/ latest OxygenMOD 2.3.7 ROM).

I used my Windows 7 (64-bit) laptop for the install and patching operation and every step went off without a single problem. I pushed both the patch and restore ZIPs to my N1 and applied the patch from within Amon's recovery (after turning off signature verification...). After rebooting, I waited at the boot screen for ~5 minutes while the dalvik cache was rebuilt (I have ~300 apps on my phone...) and finally got to the home screen with everything looking in order.

I then installed the PDroid app and started configuring my permissions. I can't convey how happy I was at the sense of control your app has given me. It's one of those occasional apps that caused me to fall in love with my phone all over again. Between PDroid and DroidWall, I finally feel that I've clawed back the level of control that I need now that many app developers are starting to exercise "permission creep" on their customers, with a specific focus on contacts and location.

Thank you so much for all your efforts and, as the subject says, keep of the great work!

Bill

Hey I just patched the LG Nitro HD's first custom ROM and a few unknown's came up but the patch was successful. I entered cwm, flashed updated pdroid zip and now I get stuck at the LG logo.

It's been sitting there for around 10 minutes, not sure if that means it didn't work or what. Wondering if theres anything I can do to get PDroid to work correctly or if i did something wrong? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Garfield1978:
Great App!

But I've the problem that my lock screen doesn't work anymore.

I've use Moto Defy with CM 7.1 stable.

First I flashed zip-file and don't come into sytem anymore after boot because

lock screen showed (symbol lock screen) dot with letter over each dot. And it's said code wrong but I've hve nothing done.

Then I deactivated th lock screen. I came into sytem but when I'm into the settings for reactivation of lock screen, I have the same picture.

Not the normal dots but the little dot with symbol ABC on each dot.

Whats wrong ? Some solution? Pdroid is nice but lock screen is more important.
[Android Apps and Games] frsp2:
svyat,

I'm still testing privacy aspects of PDroid and found some points that may require your attention.

Netmonitor - displays operator code and operator name with all permissions denied

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.parizene.netmonitor&hl=en

Android System Info - displays correct Cell Identity and Local Area Code and I have no idea how they do it since Netmonitor has failed to display CID and LAC with same "untrusted" permissions profile.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.electricsheep.asi&hl=en

svyat, would you please suggest a way to block these (and similar) apps from accessing the data in question?
[Android Apps and Games] mnjm9b:
+1...I had to check for myself and discovered the same....

Also, while playing with the "Android System Info" app it appears there

Are a few other items that could (should) be added to the blocked list...

Such as:

Browser useragent

Android id

Everything in the buildinfos (build.prop)

Wifi access points (current and history)

This app also seems to be getting system logs from somewhere too...

I have read instructions and downloaded the required at no avail
[Android Apps and Games] frsp2:
While I totally agree with your privacy concerns I think some of them are out of PDroid control due to it's nature - it is only permissions management layer, not all in one package. Thus we have to find other tools for the tasks/problems PDroid is not intended to solve.

For useragent settings

Type "about:debug" in browser and press enter. Then press menu button and go to the browser settings. There will be user agent switching option. You can set iPhone or desktop one for example.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

Run PDroidPatcher.exe then choose your ROM zip, push Patch button and that's all.

Thanks fos answering...

I had downloaded PDroid Patcher v1.27 Beta 0.23 for Windows and when extracted and executed in the desktop an error ocurrs... PDroidPatcher.exe has found a problem and must close...

Should I add that I`m using Win XP and all requirements are met. I have a slight idea that it may be because of java...

Anyway can you please confirm; when you say to your ROM you refer to the original .zip ROM i have flashed, right ? so is there anyway to install it to the running rom without the need to reflash it ???
[Android Apps and Games] frsp2:
If you're on Win XP then it's not possible yet. Try Win 7 or Ubuntu in virtual Machine.

"VirtualBox 4.1.8 for Windows hosts x86/amd64

VirtualBox 4.1.8 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack All platforms

http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Ubuntu Linux 11.10 x86 image ready to run

http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/

You have to install Java inside Ubuntu

http://oracle.com/technetwork/java/j...d-1377142.html

and patch util:

sudo apt-get install patch

Also it could be useful to install Midnight Commander via Ubuntu software center."

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

You have to provide the same ROM that is flashed to your phone.

Then PDroid makes you a patch for that ROM.

Put the patch (5-6Mb in size) to SD card and apply it from CWM recovery menu.

If something goes wrong ie boot loop or no boot for 5-10 minutes then flash reverse patch and all should be fixed again.

May be it could be faster if you link your ROM zip here and I make a patch for you.

If you get system working then you may develop patching environment later on.

[Android Apps and Games] krzych:
@svyat, Is this possible that when I block a specific permission, the app will _constantly_ check for the data causing CPU load and battery drainage? (everything I could is set to "random", but there are few which cannot be set to random).

I'm having strange behaviors like programs causing heavy load when doing _nothing_ (for example, Elixir which authors I'm talking constantly and we know that program does exactly nothing, or a HTC weather widget which is known by all and never seen anyone having issues with it).

There is only one possible explanation - something externally causes the problem - I type two things, but not sure yet - permission denial OR sense itself (I have Sense 3.5 which seems more unstable than before versions). Maybe the PDroid itelf is bothered by something else too (the logs are clearly saying about privacy.db accesses million times per second sometimes).

Any ideas? Any way to track problem down? (I have no idea where to look)
[Android Apps and Games] comegalletas:
