@CollegeDev,

Thanks for the share, much appreciated.

Working brilliantly for me.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
Nice to hear such good news. I've tested it on my own phone and it works perfectly too. I'm thinking of integrating access for camera and microphone too, is anyone interested to this?
[Android Apps and Games] domina:
The patch fails with [ROM][06.07.12][★★ SMS ★★ ] by ★ RSK TEAM ★ with AMAZE CAM [Special Edition] rom. Ive attached a log.

Any ideas what to do?
[Android Apps and Games] .xxx.:
@kismet: in my case, 1.32 failed to do as needed but 1.31 works like a charm...

@svyat: what does network info in your app do? Does it disables the application from connecting to the internet? Or disables the application to just get information about the network?
[Android Apps and Games] noobdroid_90:
v1.32 has a problem while using windows 7 x64, at least for me

i tried it out on windows xp and it worked properly, dunno why
[Android Apps and Games] kobik77:
Same Java version on both?

Windows XP in 32bit?
[Android Apps and Games] jb789:
Do you think your version of 1.32 will work for GB as well?
[Android Apps and Games] noobdroid_90:
actually, no, it was jdk7 in windows 7 64 bit

and jdk6 in windows xp 32 bit
[Android Apps and Games] Arthur_Dent0815:
PDroid rocks. But I'm not sure which infos applications need to run properly and which ones are safe to block. Are there any general tips?
[Android Apps and Games] kobik77:
So try downgrading to the same Java version on Win7 to see if it changes something.

It changes between apps.

I allow only the permissions that I think are legitimate and logical for the app to use and nothing more.
[Android Apps and Games] kaizokan:
Most of the apps (almost al downloaded apps) do not need ID, phone number, sim card serial, subscriber ID... But a good way to find out is with the data access notifications function :good: Enable notifications and you will see when using the app what is blocked/allowed (depending on your settings). and with this you can check for yourself what can be the problem. but its not always easy to find out.

Blocked doesn't mean it always needs it, it only shows that the app wants access to, just like kobik77 said:

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

svyat is not really active at the moment (well for some time now ;)). The network info does not block internet (Pdroid can't do that, it has no firewall, reason why is explained in the first few post i think). It only blocks access to information about the network, like, is there a active connection or not and maybe other info about the connection and network and possible network nearby?
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
I'm just curious, what are ALL the ways an app can identify you with? Ex: IMEI, android I.d., IP address, Mac address? Fill in the rest...
[Android Apps and Games] v5HMeca:
How are you performing your check for JDK6? I'd like to know how to tell your app where it's located. I tried changing my JAVA_HOME environment variable but that didn't work.

edit--

Oh, I think it was because I was assuming it would want x86-32 version of JDK6. Once I added x86-64 bin directory to the PATH, it worked. Still would be nice if there was a way to configure it instead of it just closing like it does. Sorta like when you launch QtADB for the first time, it prompts you to tell it where to find ADK.

Failed with latest stable version of CM7, cm-7.2.0-supersonic.zip

If I can get it working on an older version, I'll build some smali/res diffs and use those to see if I can incorporate it into CM7.2 and then into my current ROM (a Chinese ROM called LeWa).

edit--

Oh, I see where it created a temporary directory. I'll just look through those patches. Perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] kaizokan:
video/photo front or back Camera (and microphone), also permissions, but PDroid does not have the option to block camera or microphone permissions.

Without you knowing it, you are giving a live webcam show somewhere in the world. So don't forget to smile a few times a day :D ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jb789:
Yes, camera & mic access sound like a good idea.
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
I've not tested it on GB, because I just port it to ICS. I have to take a look if it works, but don't want to go steps back :D, because now I'm running on ICS and it works:good: btw: I used PDroid on GB and never had problems with it, so why v1.32 doesn't work for you?
[Android Apps and Games] prudhvi1105:
Object reference not set [solved]

YOU SHOULD INSTALL JDK 6u25 java to make it work

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IT WORKED!!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] jb789:
Thanks. Honestly, I only tried up to 1.31 on GB due to all the posts about boot problems with 1.32. Maybe I'll give 1.32 a try next time I flash, though.
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
Does anyone of you have the source code of the *.apk from Svyat? I want to change something and don't recompile the whole source code!:confused::rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] kaizokan:
and for the source of the ICS port of PDroid see pastime1971 's thread
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
No, not the source of changings in framework, the source of the pdroid.apk file. It is shrinked with proguard, so i need the source to bind it in eclipse.
[Android Apps and Games] dserodio:
RFE: Only ask for privacy settings when new permissions are required

When I update an app, PDroid asks me to set the privacy settings for the app again. It would be nice if it only asked for privacy settings if the update requires a new permission that the previous version didn't.
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
So,

I'm no in alpha running with camera and microphone permissions. Here are some Features:

Microphone access works, only some more tests needed

Picture access works also very smooth with ICS Camera, but if you start camera with Whatsapp via Intent it crashes

Video access is little bit tricky, because some dev's don't catch Exception -> FC. Would you like to give out about 1s (maximum) of video to prevent all FC's? Or do you prefer FC instead of giving 1s (max) Video?

But there is one Problem, i can't update it in *.apk because I have no source Code and I don't have time to write an Addon application!

Please leave feedback for your wishes!

EDIT:

I've written my own audio/video capture programm to test it, and it works without any FC's -> developers from other applications don't surround their code with try/catch!
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
Hi,

Microphone and Camera permissions are ready for beta now, but I need source-Code of the app to implement it in right way. Does anyone of you has the full source code of the apk? Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] pastime1971:
as far as i know, svyat never released the app source.

either you will need to make your own app, or you will have to contact him and see if he would be willing to work together to add it.

it would be great to see PDroid expand its capability. :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
I sent him a PM, hope he will answer :). It is much easier to implement it in short way to his app, than writing a new one. All in one is better than hundred of apps for permissions :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] chrootz:
Any plan for PDroid to JellyBean (4.1 version)?
[Android Apps and Games] MightySashiman:
It's a great pity this project looks basically dead. It had everything to be a must have. Was in fact the first thing I'd install after a fresh install in the days I had an htc desire... Too bad the GNex ICS/JB can't make use of pDroid ¬_¬
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
I am just plain surprised nobody else has made an app that acts like pdroid.

PDroid ubuntu PPA

when will this be available as a sanctioned Ubuntu PPA?

some people (me) will not burn money on a workstation capable of ssmoothly running Windows 7/8 or the cost of licensing. i7 for trichannel and 20+ gigs of ram. less is more Microsoft masochism

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

Please add options to default ALL app permissions to random where possible otherwise deny.

DENY then allow

Is the appropriate principle :)

(I have donated)
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
You don't need such big hardware to compile:-\ just a little CPU power (quad core, 4ghz) and round about 16gb ram;). For your question, that's no problem at all. I can modify source and post it here, if you like. Can you patch it on your own, if you get source code?
[Android Apps and Games] @root@:
:( I am still waitting for the an ICS patcher that works with all ICS roms not just CM9,AOKP, etc
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Project is dead. Please somebody resurrect this! And build the patcher into the app
[Android Apps and Games] kbeezie:
Note the 'Auto-Patcher' link on my signature. Some people have been testing pDroid on ICS and others for a while now. and Auto-Patcher works on windows (cywin), linux and OSX from the single binary.

more is more better, but not when MY information is seized by amoral devs

But wait there's more spying on user potential

1

accelerometer/gyro for keyboard stroke recognition

interweb : cse.sc.edu/~wyxu/719Spring12/papers/US-vibr-Phone.pdf

For break/fix entertainment I have set Android ID permission to random for EVERY app in PDroid pervue. Yes, yes, licensing.

2

tower id information as distinct from non-gps location awareness.

3

MAC address for each interface

4

gmail

4b

any other authentication tying your new IP address lease to your known data set... especially when not hardcore adblocking ;p

5

other goodies exposed in logs

6

cross-app use of evil-SDKs like those in malware (adware)

7

SDcard fingerprinting

Why oh why use FAT/vFAT of any flavor for SDcard?? EXT2 (2/3/4) please for better root user CONTROL. Some do but google ought require it of all

"because the average user cannot...."

the average user will not be removing the sdcard to read directly much less mount via the handset

8

some kind of hash for complement of apps

9-14

[redacted by me]

Wouldn't want to help malware developers in any way other than up to the hangman's noose.

My motos are GB one ICS. The samsungs I've been tasked to setup are in the "woe" category for eMMC, so still GB [miui]

hooray

I becha he'll be more inclined to answer if you donated a reasonable sum. I have donated many'a'beer.. some on behalf of those upon whom I have "inflicted" PDroid who were too stingy to recognize the value of privacy assurance provided. I prefer to paypal good developers vs market so they (not-google) receive far more money. That and I neither use gapps nor mate with gmail. I prefer ActiveSync from the developers of ActiveSync

"can run" and "does run well with full functionlity" are hopefully obviously not synonymous :)

That's not in my wheelhouse but given your offer I shall put forth to effort to complete my part since I'm amidst fiddling upgrading from stable MIUI GB to stable MIUI ICS for Droid X while toying with configurations of XBMCbuntu. But I have other ubuntu workstations, too.

edit

oh, you meant, "Please add options to default ALL app permissions to random where possible otherwise deny," didn't you? :sheepishgrin: Yes, thank you. A PPA would be similarly stellar as it could be wrapped into a USB flash live Live ubuntu package :D
[Android Apps and Games] HotrodHarry:
Yes, definitely. That'll mean I can take the duct tape off...;)
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
No I will show my support by purchasing his app or whoever decides to make one like this. I never donated as I never got a chance to try and run this and so far it looks abandoned.
[Android Apps and Games] kbeezie:
The alternative is guess for ics/jb will be if cyanogenmod ports their app privacy controls to cm9/10 if this does not move forward.

[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
I hope someone does something similar. Pdroid has the best implementation of privacy controls. I hate to see this awesome idea die

[Android Apps and Games] bitstra:
Hi all pessimists,

On sunday I've received an email by svyat - and he wrote, that he will continue his dev. for pdroid after his vacation, in mid august or so...

So let him spend his vacation to get new energy for all his further work :) - I think he's reading here also in his vacation...

nice summer for all

bitstra
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
I am glad to hear this.

May it is an idea to submit the patches to CyanogenMod, so that a lot of ROM's can have PDroid.

CM7 had permission management, but CM9 (and CM10) does not have (as far as I know), so that could be a nice marriage :)
[Android Apps and Games] bitstra:
I think, many users/readers here should ask the devs of their custom roms to insert the patches in their compilations. They need sensiblisation for privacy protection in every rom...

bitstra
[Android Apps and Games] M66B:
Going to the root, will yield more result IMHO, since most custom ROM's are based on a few 'mother' ROM's, like CyanogenMod.
[Android Apps and Games] bitstra:
You're right here - understand your idea now.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] Px80:
That would be awesome!

So especially blind need to implement it to aroma :D
[Android Apps and Games] pastime1971:
CM had looked into a privacy feature that is similar to pdroid before, and rejected the idea due to their policy to stay close to AOSP and also because of a concern on legal issue (with faking SIM info etc. blocking is ok i think) http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/5677/

so, they will never do this.

that doesn't mean it is not easy to include pdroid in cm source.

any kanger can do that, and many have been. (see my signature to visit my thread on how to...)
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
Beta version of PDroidAddon is now available:
[Android Apps and Games] Px80:
is this the same like the pdroid wall? do i still have to patch the rom?
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
Please Ask question in application thread. Yes, you have to patch the rom again, because it's a modified patch. It looks like DroidWall, simple and easy to use or what do you mean?
[Android Apps and Games] Good.3:
Does it work on 2012 Xperia Lt22i?
[Android Apps and Games] Mo6152:
Is this compatible with the CM9 ROM? I'm using it on my Samsung Epic 4G and this app looks amazing, however I am using CM9 and that is ICS. Does that mean this won't work on it?
[Android Apps and Games] testman86:
It was mention often in the thread but anyway ;) Here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1719408 is a working patcher vor PDroid 1.32 which I used 2 months ago and the great Devs are still working on it. For me it worked with a HTC Evo3D GSM and a CM9 built. If you read the thread it works with CM9 roms. Also there is a more or less detailed explanation. Good luck! :)

There is also a Addon for microphone and camera http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1794411

And press in every thread the "thanks" buttons to show the Devs that you recognize their work ;)
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
Yes, there is a patch. I have modified it to get it work without all this exceptions and random soft-reboots. Just look in my application thread

and follow install instruction steps until point 6. If you are not able to compile on your own, download the ready build at the end of my post, extract core.jar, framework.jar & services.jar, zip & sign it then flash it. RDY!

PDroid, the most important android mod ever :: donate often

Hope you enjoyed your vacation, svyat!

It would be shameful not to have donated.

Maybe his andy icon will don vacation garb in the next version ;)

CM rudely dismissed such USER control out of hand! If you were to hold your breath waiting... you would die.

How does PDroid compete with Lucky Patcher by ChelpuS? It also offers a 'change permissions' feature for every installed app.
[Android Apps and Games] jb789:
Never used it, but Lucky is designed specifically to steal from developers, and PDroid is designed specifically to protect your privacy/information/identity. As such, Lucky can't even get approved in the Play Store. Also, review the "Why" section of the OP.

I727 Skyrocket

I have an I727 Skyrocket and am trying to make the patch. However I cannot seem to find the stock, GB 2.3.5, rom except for the .tar version which is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 and PDroid Patcher does not like it stating "Not A valid Android Rom."

Once I deodex my rom how do I use PDroid Patch to patch it when the rom is on my phone? I guess the better question is how do I turn my deodex'd rom into a zip file so PDroid can use it?

Hey, is there another app from the same developper that supports ICS on SGS3? I remember reading an article about PDroid being able to block permissions for front camera usage on ICS and I'm wondering if I was wrong or if it is another app that I'm missing.

Man, I really wish somebody would take over this project. It isn't even fully supported on ICS, and that is already old news.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Got my thumb up for that. I can understand Svyat's situation of having not much time and stuff like that, but honestly, don't you think he would be happy enough being mentioned in big bold letters in the credits while other devs could improve his original work? :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Oh for sure give him credit. No hard feelings against him, life is way more important than this stuff. I wouldn't mind if somebody even started a completely new project from scratch but use a lot of the same principals. Like I've said many times, I would gladly pay for an app with pdroid's capabilities.

On a side note, it is suspect that nobody really has made a decent privacy app comparable to pdroid in it's functionality. I already have tried a few and they don't work the same and will actually cause apps to crash. Giving apps false info is an awesome idea! Makes me wonder if the theories about google shutting an app down like this could be true. Imagine an app with pdroid's functions and was extremely popular, like being a top seller on the android market... I don't know if google would let that fly. An app like pdroid really hurts their data mining (for ads) prospects.
