so this does work for Phiremod 7.1

I can verify it.

Well the 1st link works for it obviously, because it is 7.1 not 7.2

Default Patch for Mirage Kang build 7.2-RC0 build 0126

Here are the patches for the latest Kang build 7.2.

I installed them directly on top of the kang build, w/o having to reboot in between.
i.e. in CWM , wipe cache/dalvic-cache, then install kang build, then install pdroid patch, then reboot and enjoy.

Hit 'Thanks' if you found these useful.

My man! Every new build its a hard choice to either go without Pdroid or stay with older build. Until i can run thebpatcher through my nook itself, I will be relying on the largesse of the forum members ifbibwant to update. Luckily for me and others like me, XDA consistently takes care of its own.

Thanks again to you and the ones before you. This is shaping up to be a nice companion thread to the ROM thread. I'm going to link to your post in that thread, so more people can find it.

Thanks for your work, gumnaam.sur!

I use your patch with the 01132012 Kang build, no problems so far (I didn't have even the battery icon problem reported by mateorod - though I use the special transparency theme).

Thanks a lot for building and sharing these files gumnaam.sur!

Another nice advantage is that we won't need an IMEI Generator with this app anymore - as PDroid can generate a random/fixed value here

I ran this and just can't see the advantage in running it unless I'm really paranoid about the what I do getting into strange hands. I don't do banking or anything other that I'm really concerned about others getting info about. Is there something I should be concerned about?
I am a little paranoid which is why I don't do banking and such from any android device. It even drives me nuts knowing my wife does some banking from her non-rooted droid incredible phone. It just seems to me that overall android is not secure enough to use for anything private. Am I missing something?

I use Pdroid in conjunction with several other apps which gives me a pretty good idea of what is sending data from my phone. Any app I don't think needs to communicate with the internet for functionality, I block with the firewall and use the log to do discovery on any blocked packets. I have caught several apps (market, no less) attempting to send packets to bogus http sites (most likely keystroke captures) and also to group ad sites that presumably disburse to the developers by the visit.

Any app I feel does need internet access, I pair Pdroid with Shark for root and Shark Reader, and use a winnowing process to analyse any suspect traffic.

I have found very few market apps that are involved with much more than unethical ad traffic, which while irritating and scummy, is a little less than dangerous. I just believe in stymying the efforts of unscrupulous developers ad publicizing any results I find. Last week I found that the trending market app Cartoon Wars was using its permissions to register users info with KRNIC, which is the National Internet Registry of south Korea. I, personally, like to know when my info is being sold to foreign intelligence commissions, info related to permissions as varied as network location and imei(good luck on the nook, right?) to incoming phone numbers (HA!)

I use Pdroid to compromise the integrity of the data should anything fall through the cracks. The more unnecessary permissions I find, the more attention I pay. Good developers explain theirir permissions, and avoid asking for unnecessary ones. I should feel comfortable buying cables on amazon, and Pdroid helps me get there.

Wow! You've definitely got security. I'm just not as worried I guess, but I'm glad there are people like you that are keeping an eye out. I just can't see using so much time spying on the spies.
You have convinced me into looking into this further though. So thank you.
