Yeah, that was what I thought but didn't knew what to delete exactly! And of couse it worked fine! :)

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
CollegeDev, could you include an option to set all preinstalled apps of a fresh ROM to also use the main setting, e.g. "True, Empty or Random"? Or is that aalready the case and I just didn't notice?
[Android Apps and Games] zblzy:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] htrakr:
Already does that. You just have to hit save
[Android Apps and Games] FFU5y:
Unless I misunderstand what SecUpwN wants to do (i.e. basically, to save 'default' settings to all currently installed system - and perhaps user - apps which don't already have settings associated with them), it does not already do that. You would have to choose your preferred default (from the preferences screen) and then individually save every single app.

Unless I have not noticed a feature, that is.
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
Hey, the problem is I have not so much time, because I'm currently rewriting the application. I got some Ideas, will pm you!

This was an old bug of PDroid itself, I thought I've fixed it. I will have a look and report later, ok? In meantime, can you upload logcat?

I'm very sorry, but I do this here all for free and I can't spend the whole time on supporting user AND develop the application. So it takes some time...

Many thanks.

Yes, it is already implemented and much more features too. Just wait until I release the new version.

I had fixed this bug before, but after my PC crashed I lost my *.patch for fixing this issue. Do you want to have it? Because samarium said it is deprecated!

Many Thanks

Yes, that's possible. I don't know if I can include this to the next update, but I will do it for you (the next few versions I will include it) ;)

For the next app upgrade you will need a new patch too, to use the new feature.

Hope you will enjoy it.
[Android Apps and Games] nils.n:
I'd really appreciate that. I've tried out many other podcatchers in the last couple days. But none of them worked as well for me as Google Listen.
[Android Apps and Games] SecUpwN:
Thank you so much for supporting this feature, I'm using DisarmedToaster (see my signature) - PDroid 2.0 comes preinstalled with v6SuperCharger there. Could you do me a favour and notify agrabren (Developer of the ROM) when the new patch has to be included? :)
[Android Apps and Games] bonanza123:
Somehow I managed it that the built in mobile data usage counter doesn't work anymore. It simply doesn't count any data for the apps. I think that I have restricted too many permissions. Does somebody know which system app and permission is responsible of this feature?
[Android Apps and Games] sp0n:
Hi there,

great work you're doing there :)

Just two little questions:

What is IP tables for?

I use Droidwall for blocking apps from accessing the internet and I guess your IP tables option does something different (according to your faq and the bloatware thing)? I could'nt quite figure out what it does...

What is ICC access for?

If it is for accessing the integrated sd card wouldn't "sd card access" be a better/simpler/more understandable name?
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
mhh, does anybody of you recognized it too?

Yes, but it can take a while. We currently testing the beta and have to expand in new features.

Ip Tables: PDroid now prevents the access to IPTable commands. That will have following affects: If you grant root permission to an application you don't know if it manipulates your iptables to get internet connection, even though you blocked it with DroidWall (or other applications for IPTables). If you block the access to IPTables, the application is not available to run IPtable commands -> it cannot touch your iptable settings (currently only works for java process).

ICC:	stand for Integrated Circuit Card. It is the card of your device as For example SIM or USIM for GSM. If you block it, applications cannot read sms or write sms/data to/from your ICC.
[Android Apps and Games] Lanchon:
thank you for your intent to help. ive expressed my ideas exactly the way they exist in my mind: they are mine and not necessarily match yours. i dont want to win popularity contests and i certainly dont want to compromise my ideas to make them "attractive" to the developer. in my view, he either takes my advice or his work will be discarded and forgotten soon. i dont really care which, the end result is the same for me, but it might not be the same for him.

[Android Apps and Games] Mrktmind:
Pulling my hair out here.

I just a got a new phone so I wanted to try a couple ROM's to find one I liked before adding all my contacts etc.

So I used auto patcher to patch CM10 Rom for Epic 4g Touch > Auto Patcher worked fine > installed patched ROM from from CWM recovery > installed Pdroid app and I'm fat, dumb, and happy!

Then I tried a couple of other ROM's > decided I liked CM10 the best cause it's the only one I can use Pdroid on. Went back through the above process until I get to flashing the patched ROM with CWM. Now CWM says "Installing" for just a second (instead of the normal amount of time it takes) then says Install finished. When I reboot it just goes back into recovery.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] FFU5y:
Hi Mrktmind,

When you use autopatcher, it creates two zip files - one to apply the change (update.zip), and one to revert the change (restore.zip). In order to use the patched ROM, you need to first install the ROM's ordinary zip file (probably >100MB), then apply the 'update.zip' file (probably ~7-8MB). It sounds like perhaps you are just installing the 'update.zip' file rather than re-installing the ROM zipfile then the 'update.zip' file (based on you saying that it installs very quickly).

If you are already following the above process (and you may well be), then I'm afraid I don't know what the problem could be.

Upgrade from PDroid

Nice work bro.

will u plz tell me the simplest procedure to install ur app?

I m having PDroid on GB 2.3.6

I have downloaded ur files: Patches.zip and App.zip

wt to do next now?

plz tell me in easiest possible manner:)
[Android Apps and Games] scutworker:
Pdroid 2.0 does not work on Gingerbread, you will need to upgrade to Jelly Bean.

If you do decide to do it, then the best way to patch any rom is by using The Autopatcher which automates the whole process.

Kindly see here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1719408
[Android Apps and Games] rmivuxgc:
hmmm...thnx bro....i also wan ti instal it on my tab having ics 4.0.3. kindly outline the process plz.
[Android Apps and Games] scutworker:
Hmmm. Did you read The Autopatcher thread? It's explained quite well there. Oh well, here we go...

I'm assuming you're using Windows, so download ApG here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31648393&postcount=690

Run this and wait for it to update. On the first run it has to download all sorts of stuff, so it will take a while.

When it's done, drag and drop your rom installation zip file onto the window and make sure Pdroid 2.0 is selected. Then click start. It will create two new files that will be in the same place as where you put your original rom file: one called update, the other called restore. It might take a while to do this.

In recovery flash the update file to your phone and reboot.

Next install the Pdroid2.0_user app that you will find in the app.zip file attached to the first post of this thread.

Open it and you're done.

If it doesn't work, then simply boot to recovery again and flash the restore file to undo it.

Good luck old boy.

I tried the patch on my Htc One S S-On under CM10, but it failed : installation aborted with no precise reason. How can I know the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Mrktmind:
Ah- ha! I thought the auto-patcher patched the ROM zip and then you installed the whole thing at once. Plus I just remembered I'm using an directboot kernal to flash ROM's - maybe I should just use the built in recovery to flash the update.zip

Thanks much for your reply FFU5y! Thanks also for your dev efforts towards pdroid.

[Android Apps and Games] Jeffreycat:
Hello, I am trying to get pdroid 2.0 to disallow google maps to start on boot. However it doesn't seem to work; I think its because google maps starts before pdroid has a chance to load. I am currently running cm10 on a epic 4g touch.

Also, is there an option to configure the data access notification to only display blocked (or allowed) attempts to access permissions only?
[Android Apps and Games] lvtjul:
ooh another french :)

That's the thing : where can I find this log? I looked in "/cache/recovery/last_log" but it doesn't say more then "installation aborted" lol thank you it helped a lot :p
[Android Apps and Games] nsmart:
settings appear to get lost (at least not shown in gui)

I tried pdroid for a few days now and have nearly the same problem. I previously used old pdroid and installed pdroid 2.0 exactly as described in post #1. PDroid seemed to be working fine, but after a few days and some reboots suddenly the gui showed all apps als 'REAL' and no more custom values. This happened twice to me within few days. I don't know how to reproduce this, because it does not necessarily happen after a reboot. Rom: CM10. I patched the framework with auto_patcher. Never faced this issue with old pdroid. Any advice ?
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
Okay, did you mean the real and custom state in main view? If so, please use the reload apps function to refresh the application list. It is known GUI bug and already fixed. We currently testing new features, if all works fine I will release the new version next week.

@jeffrey... That's normal, it only blocks the intent boot complete setting. Some apps registered a lot of other receivers to get broadcasts. This can cause some apps to start on boot e.g. Network state changed receivers can cause this,but a lot of others too.

@ the rest question

Will answer later, I'm currently busy.
[Android Apps and Games] wbedard:
Could you please describe a bit more about what happened? If the problem was in running autopatcher against your ROM, the logfile should be in the same directory as the autopatcher script.
[Android Apps and Games] lvtjul:
hi :) I understood from the first post of this thread that I meet the requirement to use PDroid 2.0 for my ROM :

=> Rooted Phone

=> ClockworkMod Recovery

=> CM10 is required for actual patch

So I flashed the update.zip attached to that post in CWM. The screen says : "Installation aborted." Nothing more in the logs too (/cache/recovery/last_log)...
[Android Apps and Games] wbedard:
Aha...I think we're making progress! Did you try to patch using the "patches.zip" file in the first post here or an "update.zip" posted by someone else farther along in this thread. If the later, would you please reference their post specifically in some way (I.e. direct link, username on page #, etc...). Don't worry, we'll get you squared away!

Problem with Setting Profile

Hi,

first of all thanks for this wonderful app.

I'm just having a problem with my profile switcher "setting profiles". Since installing PDroid 2.0 on my Xperia Acro running FXP 147 (cm10) setting profiles cannot detect my position based on cell towers.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lvtjul:

[Android Apps and Games] wbedard:

[Android Apps and Games] karamelos:
:p
[Android Apps and Games] wbedard:
Will you look at that!... :o

Well, if CollegeDev posted it, I'm sure he will provide support for it. However, the more sure way to avoid any subtle issues btwn someone else's update.zip and the actual ROM/device combination you are using is to use either autopatcher or ApG on the actual ROM you flashed to your device. Go ahead...give it a try!

As for the update.zip posted here, I have no idea where it came from so there's not much I can say for certain about why it's not working for you.
[Android Apps and Games] ojessie:
Bluetooth working just partly

As mentioned previously I'm using a Xperia Acro running FXP147 cm10.

What about that "privacy folder" mentioned in the OP? There is no "patches.rar", just "patches.zip" including the three patches. Is it not needed anymore?
[Android Apps and Games] wbedard:
The privacy folder is referring to the data directory that PDroid creates on your device under /data/system. The patches.rar is an outdated reference to the source code patches that can be applied if you're compiling your ROM from source. Those patches are now distributed in a ZIP container instead of a RAR.
[Android Apps and Games] dtrail1:
Well thanks. So it's ok to apply these patches to the source and compile it?

[Android Apps and Games] mateorod:
I might be missing what is being discussed here, are you talking about the privacy folder that came with the patches?

That has a jpeg you would need to either haave copied into your rom during build or else manually placed there after compiling. karamelos has it in his sig, show content on his posts.
[Android Apps and Games] lvtjul:
excuse me, I was refering to the patch.zip for the GS2. I will try to patch with auto-patcher :)
[Android Apps and Games] wbedard:
Oh, absolutely! That's the "leet" way to do it, although there is a bit of a learning curve to get to that point. For most people, using autopatcher or ApG is -much- easier and just as effective.
[Android Apps and Games] dtrail1:
I prefer to build it from scratch, so there is a better chance that it works. There is no working pdroid patch for any Razr Rom, that's why I am trying to include it directly in my Rom. Thx for your help!

Hi, I finally made the plunge from LBE to PDroid2 earlier this week in my CM10. So far so good, except for Llama application (for those unaware, its a Location based event trigger app similar to Tasker & Locale). Llama doesn't seem to get the proper cell location value, except for the time it starts up for the first time. After the first time, it doesnt get the cell location value. I have given all green ticks for Llama(refer screenshot) but still no cigar. Can somebody help me in resolving this please?

Upon starting up, it gets this, 11-22 06:41:06.269 I/LlamaDroid(555): got GSM cellID 28109

From the 2nd time onwards, it gets this, 11-22 06:41:12.382 I/LlamaDroid(555): got GSM cellID -1

What does "Force Online State" do?
[Android Apps and Games] schertling:
I can't help. But I can tell that I have quite the same problem with an Austrian app that doesn't locate anymore, although I granted full access.

But perhaps it's an issue with my current ROM. I will have to completely uninstall PDroid2 and patches to verify it's not the culprit. Only I'd hate to lose my settings for my 100 other apps so I'm still hesitating.:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] FFU5y:
From my reading of the code, it looks like if 'Force Online State' is 'on' - i.e. what would normally be the 'allow' or 'real' setting, then the application is always told that a connection is available (i.e. the network will report it is in the connected state, that it is available, that mobile data is available, etc.).

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Keep in mind that the CollegeDev's PDroid 2.0 App has 'backup' and 'restore' options, although where they store backups and whether you can recover them I don't know. Worth checking.

If what you mean is you don't want to lose all the settings off your phone: you don't need to. As long as you are replacing a PDroid-enabled ROM with *exactly the same* non-PDroid ROM, you shouldn't need to wipe your device.

Also, you could grab the free Titanium Backup. It is excellent.
[Android Apps and Games] schertling:
Hi, thanks, I'm using TB Pro already, or else the flashing of alternate ROMs requiring full wipes would be a horror with all my configured settings :). It's just that I don't always rely on the restoring capabilities of all apps.

Anyway, I dunnit. I deinstalled both PDroid2 and the patches -> localization of my app works fine.

I install the patches first -> app loops on trying to localize even before PDroid2 is reinstalled :(

I install PDroid2 -> same of course :rolleyes:

But it restored its settings nicely, didn't even need TB :)
[Android Apps and Games] nerbrume:
Hi,

Similar behavior here : Tasker can't get any cell ID. Tasker and Phone app are granted full permissions in PDroid.

I must warn that my setup might be peculiar : CM10 on SGS2, without Gapps.

I've also tried to use the NoGapps NetworkLocation.app, which is unable to locate me only based on cell ID (wifi-based location is fine).

Without Pdroid patches, everything is woorking fine.

Attached is log of attemps to get Cell id using tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
Quick-Fixed this issue. Will come out with new patch.

I've implemented your feature. For the next release use following to get it work:

1) reload apps after installing new rom

2) use "search untouched settings" option and follow instructions

3) have fun

BUT, it can take some time until I release it ~1Week.

Fixed, I've tested Llama on my device, now it works. More instructions later (when I will release new patch).

The application will "think" that you're currently online (I think this is the simplest way to explain it). I use this feature for some applications where you want to block networkInfo (as for example) or some other important permissions which will hide network states -> you can use some features of the application without having trouble with other permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] welle12:
hi,

the app works really nice. the only problem so far - when i reset an app with "set all to real" i get for programs like "GoogleAccountManager" still "Custom" but no option is modified when i do the same for "Google Play Store" i get "Real" instead of "Custom". it seems for some apps the set to real option doesn't clear the custom flag for the app.
[Android Apps and Games] CollegeDev:
You mean the state "real" and "custom" in the main application list, right? If so, it is a gui related bug and has been fixed for a while but not released. In meantime you can just use the option "reload apps" to update the states correctly or wait for the New version which will coming soon.

Hi there,

I'm using PDroid 2.0 for 2 weeks now (instead of LBE) on my SGS3 with CM10. Thanks for this great application.

My question

: is there a list, for what are all these permissions are for? I think, that would be easier to set the "right" permissions at first try.

I read the whole thread and found a few explanations for permissions like IP tables, ICC or Force Online State. But there are lots of others.

How do you think about it?

If i take a picture with standard cam app I got a Pdroid protection picture instead.

I cant find the camera app on PDroid 2.0 list to allow camera access.

Other camera apps are working. How can I fix that?
[Android Apps and Games] Hotfingers:
Funny enough the standard camera is inside "Gallery", so allow camera access for that app :D

The gallery app already had all permissions. But after setting them to empty and than to real again, things work fine now.

Hi,

I'm just chiming in to be counted as another user who still has a phone with GB :cyclops:

I don't know if you've abandoned plans to make the new patch "legacy"-compatible (it wouldn't be the end of the world if so....heck, i remember svyat wanting to go back as far as Froyo), but it certainly would be nice to have the new features on GB :)

Of course you can count this as a low-priority thing....i mean, GB is already outdated....more ageing would hardly be noticable anyway :D
[Android Apps and Games] dtrail1:
Dev, could you point me through the process to support Razr Roms? I am ready to work with you (or anyone else?) to get this to work on Razr Rom such as CM10.
[Android Apps and Games] FFU5y:
Edit: I assumed you were a rom developer from your footer, but having looked at the site I'm not 100% sure. If you are not compiling your own roms from scratch, you can use The AutoPatcher by mateorod and pastime to attempt to apply PDroid to an already-built rom. The autopatcher thread has details.

Anyway, my original post:

Hi,

To get this to work with Razr Roms, you need to patch the source code for the rom. That will add the PDroid service, and the necessary framework changes. Then, an App (either CollegeDev's PDroid 2.0 App (see OP) or my PDroid Manager app) is required to control the settings.

The source patches you need for CM10 are in the OP, in the 'patches.zip' file. Details of how to apply the patches are in the OP under 'Installation Instruction(for own compiling):'.

CollegeDev released a PDroid 2.0 App which is designed for inclusion in ROMs: I think the only difference is that it doesn't have a launcher icon.

I haven't done the equivalent for PDroid Manager, although if you wanted to use that you could just download the source, remove the necessary lines from the AndroidManifest.xml and build it.
[Android Apps and Games] dtrail1:
I tried all methods, autopatcher, GUI and of course patching the source. Most hunks were failed (about 90% couldn't be patched) and I am no sure if it works then.

XT910 - D-WiZ 1.0.6
[Android Apps and Games] wbedard:
The D-Wiz ROM appears to have merged significant amounts of the framework from Android 4.2, as of v1.0.6. Android 4.2 is not currently supported by either the PDroid source code patches or autopatcher,ApG,etc. CollegeDev is working toward providing support for Android 4.2 but there is no ETA at this time. Follow this thread for updates!
