[Add-on] [Beta] [Aroma] [Privacy] Guardian Project Installer V1.0

Guardian Project Installer V1.0 Beta
Many thanks to the people at www.guardianproject.info for their hard work!

What is this?

This is a flashable zip (tested with CWM) that installs most of the apps from the Guardian Project. The guardian project is a non-profit organization that is building apps and tools to help users and whistle-blowers alike to stay safe and anonymous in this day and age. This is a faster way to setup a secure/private device. I also encourage enabling Full Disk Encryption in ICS/JB settings. Quote from the site:

How Guardian Helps

While we think that a secure, privacy-enhanced mobile phone is a good thing for just about anybody going about their daily lives, we like to also consider the extreme cases, where this technology might change the course of someones life.

All of these apps are released Open Source under their respective licences. All Credit goes to the developers of the apps. I have only bundled them into an easily installable zip file.

UPDATE: Thanks to Volk the installer is now Aroma! You can now select what apps you want installed and if you want to uninstall the old ones.

Thanks all for the feedback! I will be updating the addon in a bit and adding on some more stuff. :good:

This is absolutely fantastic, I was wondering when something like this would be put together! The guardians are absolutely right when they say the mobile platform is the least secure, anything that can be done to change this is beyond welcomed.

New versions are up!!

EDIT: I also want to reccomend FuguMod Kernel nikademus did a great job incorporating PaX and Stack Protector into his kernel to increase security.

I'm glad you like it! I am currently working on a version of CM10 that will incorporate these features/apps as well as a more secure kernel. I should (hopefully) have Alpha builds out this week.

I will add it to the list

I will have to take a look at the resource files and see where FDroid stores the repos.

hey, thanks for this. I got here from the Guardian Project mailing list, and I just posted this feedback there.

The full zip installs fine on a Samsung Galaxy S i9000, running CM10 nightly 20120820 and Semaphore 2.0.6 kernel. The progress bar didn't go all the way across, so I thought it might've bailed, but it looks all good now.

So far tried I've Orbot and TextSecure, which I assume were reinstalled, and my settings+data remained. Ostel kept my login info, too, but going into settings I get incredible lags (which may be the new CM10, and the funky partitions that the dev/device maintainer used to work around our space limitations and NAND speeds). Also tried ObscuraCam and opened Panic, looks OK. New toys that I've never played with yet.

Before flashing this, though, I tried installing the update zip, in the hopes I'd add Orweb, ObscuraCam, etc., and not lose data+settings with the apps I already had. The flash said it completed (again, despite that the progress bar didn't go all the way across), but when I rebooted, I had no new apps. Then a weird quirk: I opened a data connection and Orbot, and it connected fine, but a check with Firefox Beta said I had no net connection. Checking mail in K9 gave me errors, but Twitter with Tor proxies set loaded fine. According to IP Track, I had no external IP. I turned off Orbot, turned it on again, and then all was working as expected. Strange.

Anyway, thanks; this is a great project. I also want to ask: Any chances of including RedPhone? It's open source now, but unavailable on Play where I am; I think it's limited to only the US. I used Market Unlocker to get it, and will be testing it here soon. Nathan of Guardian Project was saying that outside of the US, it may have push/wake problems. I'll find out soon here, but if it's not too buggy, it'd be great for everyone outside the US.

edit: also, what about adding MD5 checksums, or a GPG signature?
