[Android Apps and Games] Deviant Ollam:
no words of thanks could ever be enough

I had to just drop by and remark about how wonderful i have found pDroid to be. After tweeting about it recently, loads of other friends of mine in the security community are checking it out and patching and installing. I cannot believe how monumental an app (well, beyond just an app) this whole thing is and yet how underground it still seems to be.

I could never thank people enough for their efforts in all this, but i'm sure going to try as i read through this thread to learn more and more. (My "thanks" button is going to get a workout!)

I'm sure i'll have some questions soon (for instance, why my stock keyboard no longer seems to be able to reach Google for use with Voice Typing) and i'm hoping this thread is the right place to ask.

Do some apps ever get big enough and popular enough that they get their own sub-forums? Until then, is more or less everything pDroid related all just in this single thread here?

G2x P999 & CM7

Hi, I get stuck at boot on my G2x after patching a CM7 stable rom. Here's some errors. This is pretty much all that's missing from me being happy. :laugh:

I'm running CM7, it's rooted of course, and works fine without the patch.

I'm running Windows 7 32-bit, and checked to make sure that the rom is deodexed already.

EDIT: Is it because CM7 for my phone is Android version 2.3.7?
[Android Apps and Games] jb789:
I'm not smart enough to know what the problem is, but it isn't because of 2.3.7. If you haven't already, search the tread for version 1.31 of the patcher & try that. Or, switch to a ROM with Pdroid built in.
[Android Apps and Games] edsfunsite:
It still locks up on boot. I have a different kernel installed, could that have anything to do with it?

I also don't want to get an ICS/JB rom, because of missing features (no 1080p video, hardware video acceleration, etc)
[Android Apps and Games] dolor21:
Can someone tell me what the difference is between Network Info and Network location?

If I randomize the Network location but leave the Network info unblocked, can they still track my network?

I cannot block my network info to login to this one app I use. However I don't want them tracking my network or knowing that I am using multiple devices on the same network. Does anyone know how I can do this?
[Android Apps and Games] wbedard:
Network Info is basically the state of your network adapter (up/down, ip address, etc...). Network Location is where your devices think it is based NOT on your device's GPS unit. On a cellphone, this would come from a triangulation of your cellular radio. I'm not sure about WiFi devices but you should know that projects like GeoIP can nail down your location very precisely using just the IP address of your router. I don't think that translates down to your device, though, so I'm not positive if Network Location even applies for a WiFi device. Hope this helps!

Rooted Motorola defy+ Pdroid help please.

Trying to run pdroid on my newly rooted defy+.

If i understand the process, i must:

1.Back up my current rom from my phone using clockwordMod.

2.Patch that image with pdroid patcher.

3.Flash that patched image back to my phone.

4.Run pdroid happily ever after...

Well, first problem is clockwork recovery mod doesn't seem to want to play ball....So, i cant back up my rom which sort of scuppers my plans before i even start....Tried a few "nandroid" searches but still drawing blanks...

Is there any way to create a rom image of my phone???

Thanks for any help......
[Android Apps and Games] wbedard:
You may have misunderstood a small detail. The autopatcher program you referenced ("pdroid patcher") only works on OTA-style ZIP files, such as your ROM was likely originally distributed. ROM backups of the sort you describe cannot be patched using autopatcher. Backing up your device using CWM, nandroid, etc is still a good idea in case something goes wrong when you flash your newly patched ROM. One final note about getting an OTA-style distribution of your ROM. If you are running the same ROM that came with your device (i.e. a "stock" ROM), please be advised that, in most cases, these cannot be patched because the vendor likely doesn't provide the source code for the ROM. If you know that you are running a custom ROM, just head back to where you picked it up originally and download the current version.

Feel free to ask any additional questions you may have!

R/

wbedard
[Android Apps and Games] cornz:
Right, thanks. So, i would need to flash my phone with cyanogen or similar..

You are quite correct, it is flashed with the official motorola rom then was rooted with help from another part of the xda forum.

OK, given that i have no reason to swap to another cooked rom and that now i cannot run pdroid, could anyone recommend another way to disable/reconfig the permissions which doesn't require a rom flash.

Thanks for any help. Stuff like this i do once or twice every 6-12 months, for me and my technology, so you forget stuff or things change and require a new approach......I must be getting old....

Hi.. I am a noob. But from my prelim knowledge with root browser I found that after patching, the networklocation@classes.dex file is getting modified. But networklocation.apk is still same.

This i checked by matching the size and md5sum of those files. I have a backup of working networklocation@classes.dex file which I tried to push back into data/dalvik-cache but after booting up the phone, working .dex file disappears and new modified .dex file take its place.

Is there any way to stop my system modifying this working classes.dex file when the system boots up. This file I have backed up before applying pdroid patch and patch seems to be modifying this classes.dex file. I hope that if there is any way by which I can restore this working classes.dex file to my dalvik cache then both network location and pdroid will work with minmal impact on pdroid functionality.

Any idea guys?:confused:

Chances on Galaxy Fit GT S5670

I am trying without success to apply this patch on GT 5670.

- With stock rom, there is no update.zip, only the odin flashable images, so i suppose they can not be pathced.

- Tried creed v4, phone booted before patch, then patch was successfully applied (with some offset lines), but phone was stuck in a blank screen after the boot.

- Tried honeycream 4.0.4, patch was applied, but finally phone was constantly rebooting,

- Tried FitDroid 3.5, patch applied, but the phone was stuck (I don't remember the screen).

- Tried creed v3.5, I couldn't even boot the unpatched rom, stuck showing the logo.

SO, is there any confirmed ROM to work on this device, with the pdroid patch applied ??

Virtuous G-Lite for HTC DesireZ/G2

Anyone able to get this working with the Virtuous G-Lite ROM for the HTC DesireZ/G2? I followed all the steps to patch the ROM and I just get a bootloop.

p.s. Do I really need PDroid if I already have a firewall like Droidwall or AFWall+ installed? Does blocking data/wifi access to an app effectively do the same thing as restricting its permissions?
[Android Apps and Games] karamelos:
Try with auto-patcher

For your second question

pdroid/openpdroid/pdroid2.0 & afwall are complementary
[Android Apps and Games] jb789:
Don't know anything about the Desire, but if you know that your app will NEVER access wifi or 3G etc, then maybe you have a point. However, there are lots of apps that ask for irrelevant permissions like call log, contacts, location, etc, but are really useless without a data connection. Pdroid allows you to use these apps as intended without handing over all your private info.

I've set a fix GPS location for an app with PDroid. But: these data are only be accessed when I am enabled the hardware-GPS (although it is not really used). Is this intentionally?

I would prefer that PDroid returns the date (random or fixed) independend on the real hardware setting. Is there a chance to handle this that way?

Let's imagine that an App really needs a GPS location, but device doesn't have a GPS. For this problem PDroid is no workaround.
