Give this a try

permission management in CM7

it's a very simple feature that already exists with the rom and is not recommended for noobanians that have no experience dealing with at least the basic technical settings\configurations on unix\linux type systems or let alone their brand new android phone they managed to some how get CM on their phone but dont understand 89.4% of the settings options

Permissions Management

Permission Management located under Settings --> Cyanogenmod Settings --> Application Settings -->

Give it a try if you never noticed the option or tried it before.

No sense in patching files over and flashing the phone for 2 hours to end up with the same result.

The project is unique in a very different way on the privacy control that it's supposed to provide but until the errors\bugs are fixed, try using permission management in CM. It's extremely easy to turn on and works exactly like it's supposed to.

It's a commonly over looked feature by most people but for now it's a great alternative to resort to until PDroid gets updated to address the current flaws\issues.

Read my post here as I specifically performed a series of controlled experiments to somehow compile a working patch for my own CM7 based rom since many users requested I add PDroid as a part of the rom installation

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30172875&postcount=89

Also read CyanogenMod Team's explanation of how the feature works

[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Plenty of apps crash if you deny permissions, but they keep working if you spoof them.

Unfortunately CM won't spoof permissions.

Steve Kondik: There are no features in CM that allow you to spoof your IMEI, device id, whatever. We do not plan to add them. End of story.

Some developers and just about all advertisers abuse your IMEI, device ID, and phone number as undeletable tracking cookies from which you can't opt out. You need LBE or PDroid for that.

Spanish translation attached

Thanks for this great tool svyat! I'm using it on my Defy with Pikachu's ROM. I took the liberty to translate the app to Spanish and I'm including the XMLs here in case some wants to add it to their app (you need to decompile the apk and add them to the res folder). There are some strings that are hard coded and will show up in English.
[Android Apps and Games] J_M_V_S:
Completely translated PDroid APK

Hello,

I just finished fully translating the app into Spanish. I had to translate some hard coded strings in the smali files (except the log acitivities, which remain in English). Here you have the apk fully translated. It has been tested and working perfectly on a Motorola Defy MB525 using Pikachu's latest ROM version. You can either install it as a user app or a system app (remember to set the right permissions & user if you do so).

I hope this is useful to someone! :laugh:

EDIT: Updated APK with a few translations I missed (specially in backup/restore).

Use the autopatcher instead of the 1.32 official patcher. Should work a lot better and not bootloop.
[Android Apps and Games] jb789:
You can try the 1.31 patcher, or Autopatcher like Theraze mentioned, but Autopatcher requires either Linux or Cygwin and I'm not sure if Autopatcher officially supports CM7 yet.
[Android Apps and Games] v5HMeca:
I wrote patches that work perfect for my Lewa builds, which are based on CM7. I could probably refactor the patches to work on official CM7 builds.

I've been using them for the past month or two without any issues.

The only problem is that PDroid says that the patch number is 1.27. My patches were based on Autopatcher, which I thought was using 1.32. So I don't know. I'd have to do some more investigation into that.

[Android Apps and Games] erups:
Ok I finally succesfully patched [ROM] Django Manouche 1.2.1 Ext3 by using the already patched system files found in the most recent 1.5 RC4 zip by Carburano.

Now a question: why there is no way of applying a global user default privacy setting?

I mean I wish my apps not to be able to access my contacts UNLESS I say so, why there is no way of doing this?

It should be pretty easy to set a default for every app...

Hello there,

Just tried to apply the patch on my device (SGS2 i9100, CheckROM RevoHD v6, NEAK kernel 1.4x) in vain. I used patch v1.32 from the first post.

I had some mods applied, so I did take the 3 jars using adb and used them to replace those in the rom zip.

Patch makes the boot freeze on the SGS2 welcome screen before the boot animation. The restore patch is restoring fine.

[Android Apps and Games] eugenesan:
Those patches are for Android source and not for binary patching using autopacther.

Actually binary patching is not a trivial task due some recent changes in Android, frameworks "split" to be precise.

To enabled Pdroid support, one will have to compile Android from source.

But you may try to convince your ROM builder to add Pdroid support.

[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Sort of. They have overlapping functions, but LBE can do a few things that PDroid can't and vice versa.

LBE can deny permission to make calls and send texts. PDroid needs an add-on for that. PDroid doesn't keep a log of permission requests (or maybe it does, but then it's well hidden). And LBE has a firewall built in, but DroidWall and avast firewall better.

PDroid always works. LBE starts a few seconds after Android is done booting. In those few seconds blocked apps can sneak past LBE if they autolaunch before LBE does.

[Android Apps and Games] unclefab:
I have 2 issues with PDroid (installed on squadzone's cm 7.2)...

1-PDroid says it doesn t need any permissions to run, ok, but when I passed it through Privacy Blocker then I found out that it takes private infos from me like cell tower location, which country I am in, 12 leaks in total. And when I want to fix them with Privacy Blocker it works for all, except cell tower location.

A bit strange for an apk claiming to help us to get better privacy.

2-On some apks, like Instagram for exemple, at first PDroid shows many perms like device id, sim card serial, phone number etc... I block them all, ok. But later when I check again then I see that all those perms have disappeared, only 2 remains (network info, sim info). If I uninstall the apk and reinstall it all the perms show again, I block them and then they disappear again.

What do you think about that?

[Android Apps and Games] Theraze:
Not sure if calling your PDroid Extension app PDroid 2.0 is kosher... Additionally, you don't warn in your teaser post that this only works for people who are compiling their own copies of CM10 Jellybean.

For myself, I'll happily keep using the Autopatcher and PDroid. And hoping that someday svyat will get to return to us to release PDroid 2.0...
[Android Apps and Games] wbedard:
By "kosher", I assume you mean "in good taste" as opposed to against forum rules or something otherwise official. As to his teaser post, he does note that the provided source-code patches are for CM10. That said, there are many people using Autopatcher to successfully apply PDroid 2.0 to a variety of ROMs including CM10 (both unofficial and kangs), AOKP, Paranoid Android as well as straight-up AOSP.

I miss svyat too but, at some point, you have to move on. I am just grateful that we have such a talented and generous group of devs who are willing to step in and carry on his initial work!
[Android Apps and Games] Theraze:
Teaser post on this thread which leads you to his thread:

At the time I posted that, CollegeDev's OP still said it didn't work with Autopatcher yet, but maybe soon.

I'm appreciative for people who continue the fight. I have no objection to moving on to a new product, and svyat making PDroid open source means that people making changes and keeping all the features intact while improving it is possible and, well, rather awesome. However, it also means that it's easier for people to splinter a project... Not that we've heard a lot from svyat lately, but he's still logging in.

If he kills this version or officially hands off to CollegeDev, then I won't have a bad feeling about PDroid Extension 1.52 changing its name to PDroid 2.0. I've just seen too many programs go into version-wars with different people releasing completely different versions of a similar OS program/app, each with its own features and bugs. And trying to get the one you actually want later... *shudders*

Some friends of mine wanted to have the features too. After publishing it to my friends I decided to release this part of software.
