Why are they doing this?

I'm not sure if this is a good decision from Google. I fully understand that this could help to protect users, but in my opinion, a warning on the device would have been enough.

Android should be an open System. A user installing a permissive kernel, or changing a existing one to permissive mode, could be expected to know what she or he is doing.

I have to recompile the kernel for my SM-P605 because it was the only way to get it to work in permissive mode. Without the ability to do the mode switching by app, I have

to do this ugly changes by hand or make them persistent. Without this I'm even not able to do a chroot and run another Linux-distro on such a device. Forcing developers

to bypass such restirctions is the bigger security issue. If I'm not able to do such things, I could just as well buy a device made by apple.

What would a normal Linux user say, if he isn't allowed to get root access or couldn't download programs which don't work on a Kernels not enforcing SELinux.
[App Stores] mikereidis:
Google doesn't care.

Android is now dominant, and Google is closing it off, going closed source on the increasingly important Gapps/GMS etc.

Android Auto, TV, Wear, Play, etc. etc: closed source.

DRM will come and Google doesn't want us bypassing it. We already have it in locked bootloaders for non-Nexus.

This likely makes business sense for Google. They are the new Microsoft, not quite as evil perhaps, but getting closer all the time.
[App Stores] KDB223:
How is there an app called SELinux Enforcer (which as the name implies modifies SELinux policies) selling on Play Store right now?
[App Stores] iwobanas:
Apparently the Google Play scanning mechanism is inefficient and inconsistent. I bet this app will get removed in couple days/weeks/months.
[App Stores] Dark3n:
New submissions apps/updates, are immediately tested and preexisting apps will be gradually tested afaik.
[App Stores] mikereidis:
If you extract the ZIP/APK contents I'd bet you that the "setenforce" string is obscured.

If not, it's possible they got an automated "14 day warning" like I did and in the meantime it's still up.

It will take a human at Google to recognize the full purpose of the app is to disable SELinux, and thus couldn't be made compliant, unless it just showed state, etc.

Hit a report button and it might get taken down more quickly. Not that I'm recommending that, I don't care.

App says "no refunds or returns.", but I'd expect that at 99 cents, LOL.
[App Stores] HopelesRomantc91:
I'm not an Android developer, but I had a thought: what if you use a global variable that was set to 1, then -= 1, then setenforce to that variable. Something like this perhaps:

private int VAR = 1;
VAR -= 1;
setenforce VAR;

Or maybe like this:

private int VAR = 1;
setenforce (VAR-1);

Maybe that could get around the bots?

EDIT: or even something like this:

setenforce 1;
setenforce (getenforcestate -1);

Or something to that effect.
[App Stores] mikereidis:
You can probably get around the bots by just obscuring the "setenforce" string, as well as any other related SELinux strings they are scanning for.

And once Google figures out what you are doing they will likely ban your developer account and detect and prevent you from ever re-opening one again.

I just went through 3 app removals, the last a permanent suspension for my Headunit for Android Auto app. Quickest summary possible is here: http://xdaforums.com/general/paid-s...droid-auto-t3125252/post61632463#post61632463

For each of the first 2 app removals I addressed my broadest GUESS (Google uses "canned" reasons & never explains precisely) of their objections and Google restored the app. The last time I even removed the intended Android Auto functionality and put "NOT FUNCTIONAL" in the app title, explaining in the app description and nicely appealing to Google to allow Headunit apps on Play.

And each time Google found a different excuse to remove the app, after 6 days of the app being restored, or in the last case a few hours.

I sent several appeals and only got a reply after 2 weeks. The appeal had no more info than the original canned notifications of violation.

My point is that there are certain types of apps that Google just will not allow, and will make up any excuse to ban. Their dev agreements are now so broad that excuses could be found for every app on Play. Even the "scent" of that sort of app (such as an app that just uses "setenforce" in a user visible message) will get the big hammer.

And there is nothing we can do.

If you try to hide banned behaviour, expect to receive the full wrath of Google. Appeals will NOT change anything, unless you have a PERFECTLY clean application and a LOT of mass disgust over Google's behaviour on widely read news sites.
[App Stores] HopelesRomantc91:
What about a dialogue box where the user types in a number, or even types in the whole command, and then it's processed that way?
[App Stores] mikereidis:
It gets fuzzy at some point. ;)

Terminal apps are (still) allowed on Play. So are SuperUser and SuperSU (though Google may decide to remove them eventually too.)

So user starts terminal app, types "su" and then "setenforce 0".

You could make a terminal app that automates this somewhat. Completely automate it and Google will ban it if it comes to their attention. (Might be hard for Google to justify though if it's just a terminal app you can upload scripts to. Easy script download may be easier to ban.)

I think it will come to Google's attention if it has a decent download rate AND app description or user comments/reviews say stuff like "Thanks for the SELinux disabler".

I've thought of something similar where a plug-in architecture is supported and the plugins have the banned functions. But Google keeps adding new rules when they see workarounds like this; I think there is something already about plugins etc that extend functionality and don't come from Play.

Google's rules are very fuzzy and intentionally so. They could take ANY app and find rules that they can allege are broken, and there is no appeal to anyone but Google. Piss them off and/or threaten their business models/profits and you/your app will be banned.
[App Stores] wantowan2:
I have no idea where I got this. Haha I just tried searching on here for the dev/creator of the app but, Tapatalk....

When I find him I will include the credit here.

If you need that simple app to toggle selinux, here you go.

[App Stores] codenation:
Which command does SELinux Mode changer modify? Can it be changed permanently as it was in the good old days as opposed to changing it every. single. time. Thanks in advance
[App Stores] MrBIMC:
Permanent change is possible only by using some custom kernel. Or semi-permanent change is possible by using init-scripts(but once again, it requires compatible kernel :D).
[App Stores] codenation:
now I need to figure out how to make a costom kernel :)
[App Stores] neoadn:

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] K-D:
i searched... :-s.. give me a link pls..

i need a step by step tutorial :(.. it's the first time i do this
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] cosinusx:
Plug in USB cable. Hold voice recorder button and press reset button. Bootloader will appear (Three color stripes). Then you may flash up ROM. (This works only for RUU installation types, not for PDAmobiz modified installator) Original english HTC P3300 ROM you may download form here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Upgrades .

no connection beetween the ppc and pc... i use a mini usb cable? is that why it's not working? :(

win xp sp2 on the pc.. do i need drivers?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Sjaool:
This may be a stupid question, but do you have ActiveSync installed on your pc?

If not than that's the reason it won't work.

If you have ActiveSync installed you should check this:

ActiveSync Check in Settings - Connections - USB to PC that the USB advanced network functionality is not ticked.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] K-D:
i have activesync installed.. tried that too..... but when i plug the usb cable.. shouldn't i hear the specific sound on the pc when a device is detected? (the sound is not disabled.. i hear it when i plug the bt adaptor.. )
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
This often happens - try reinstalling activesync and rebooting pc. Or you can do it via bootloader mode - you don't need activesync for this way. If you are going to flash a different language rom your device must be cid unlocked or you will brick it.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] K-D:
it dowsn't work in bootloader mode either...

btw.. how do i unlock it?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
Use imei check.co.uk - costs around 20 pounds - don't even consider flashing with a diff country rom before doing this. There maybe a problem with your pc - try a different one if you can. Also update to v 4.5 of activesync if you have not done already.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] K-D:
allready have v4.5, allready tried on other pc.. i guess i'll have to get used to italian...
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
You need to sort out why your device is not activesyncing with the pc's - do they both have firewalls? If so try disabling them and for good measure turn off antiviral scanner and try again.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] K-D:
nope.. it's not the firewall.. i tried without it too..

what port is the ppc using for usb connection?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
It maybe the usb cable that is faulty - have you another you can try
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] K-D:
the cable works with my camera and it charges the phone..
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] K-D:
is there an english language interface pack for wm5?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
Sorry no such thing - i would still try another cable - Which pc's did you try - i.e. do they have the same configuration of diff?

Did you try bootloader mode? - when you attach to pc - a little usb should show in bottom left corner to show you are connected (activesync not needed)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] K-D:
i tried that too.. nothing happens.. i tried on three differnt configurations..
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] K-D:
what about romanian language interface pack?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
Diff language = diff rom so you still have the same problem.

Did you say you tried a new cable? if your device won't connect to pc at all via usb then I suggest you have a faulty device and it needs to be replaced / fixed

Hi All, I'm struggling with this update on a p3300:

I've downloaded HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP, connected the phone to my PC (Vista which has Mobile Devce Centre & I can see that it is connected), I then run the updater which switches the phone to 3 colour bootloader. But when it boots into the bootloader I get error 260. I can still see that there is a connection as the Safely Remove Hardware icon is still on the task bar. I have soft rebooted the phone and rebooted the PC but it makes no difference (hard reset of the phone doesn't seem to happen when I press & hold the soft keys and press the reset button - I don't know why). I'm sure I must be missing something obvious but have no idea what (wood for the trees?!)

The only thing that is slightly unusual is that when I boot the phone I get the message "IU Build Test Only".

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Cheers in advance, Phil :)

TO FLASH A ROM BY MICRO SD AND HOW TO MAKE A GOLDCARD

How to get the nbh file.

- Just get the original rom.exe like HTC P3300_3.13.404.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe

- rename exe to zip

- extract the RUU_signed.nbh file

1) format the micro sd card to fat32

2) put your .NBH on the storage card

3) rename the .NBH to ARTEIMG.NBH

4) put device into BOOTLOADER

5) when the device asks, press the green call button to flash.

GOLD CARD is just the correct original rom on your micro sd and flashed via bootloader.

1. Visit rumrunner website and download the universal package (0.5.0)

2. Run the rumrunner software and agree to the terms

3. Wait for rumrunner to do its thing

4. Once finished, go to bootloader and you should have s-off

5. If you want, you can just re install stock ROM which will restore stock kernel
