[PDroid] ICS/JB port of PDroid framework

---

For JB 4.2.1, see "OpenPDroid" thread by FFU5y

This is to port PDroid 1.32 source code to ICS and JB (4.1.2) in AOSP, CM, AOKP.

PDroid is the privacy protection framework (see svyat's PDroid thread). All the credit goes to svyat. I am just porting his source code to ICS.

I am using CM9/CM10 on LGE P990, and that is my platform of "development". All the credit goes to CM team.

How to compile (simple) : it may potentially break git/repo

cd ~/android
repo sync -j16
patch -p1 < ~/build.diff
patch -p1 < ~/libcore.diff
patch -p1 < ~/frameworks.diff
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch <DEVICE_TARGET>

if your rom doesn't support brunch, then do lunch <DEVICE_TARGET> and then make otapackage
for building modules only you can do make framework core services

How to compile (under git)

# removing previous compile
cd ~/android; rm -rf out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/framework_intermediates/src/privacy/ out/host/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/layoutlib_intermediates/classes/android/privacy/
#[OR] cd ~/android; make clobber
# removing previous patch
cd ~/android/build; git checkout . ; git clean -df
cd ~/android/libcore; git checkout . ; git clean -df
cd ~/android/frameworks/base; git checkout . ; git clean -df
cd ~/android; repo abandon pdroid; repo sync -j16
# applying pdroid patch
cd ~/android/build; git checkout -b pdroid; patch -p2 < ~/build.diff;
cd ~/android/libcore; git checkout -b pdroid; patch -p2 < ~/libcore.diff
cd ~/android/frameworks/base; git checkout -b pdroid; patch -p3 < ~/frameworks.diff
cd ~/android; . build/envsetup.sh; brunch <DEVICE_TARGET>

see http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=662 for 65536 method limit in framework.jar

Current status:
it should compile normally. ( @hide added )
logcat shows some errors and exceptions. (possibly due to database api change)
this is a work in progress, and therefore it needs more thorough testing ... your contribution is greatly appreciated.
2012.04.06. updated to 1.32
2012.04.08. @hide added to PhoneStateListener public methods to fix AOSP 4.0.4 compile error
2012.05.07. CM9 patch updated to fix the error due to recent change in ActivityManager

Binary smali patch:
now we have a working smali patcher, see post #4.

Development notes

---

dev note (suggestion/criticism welcomed)

ICS changed framework, substantially in frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/ContextImpl.java, in terms of how service is registered and how to access static outer context.
i added getStaticOuterContext() to address this issue. (any comment on it ?)

JB changed framework again, splitted frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/BroadcastQueue.java off frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java
again, added mContext to store context in BroadcastQueue.java

CyanogenMod 9

the purpose of this kang is to test PDroid on ICS, not to provide another ICS rom for LG P990.

Other ROMs

other ROMs
auto_patcher
this patch has evolved to a more general one with a capability to patch many (pdroid & v6supercharger at the moment) at once. (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1719408)


pdroid_patcher
latest version: alpha v0.5.0 patches 2012.06.16. (md5sum= d7f13959858795562ed8df82d04236a0)
it works on linux for CM9 and AOKP. (other ROMs coming later)
it also supports CM7 (and hopefully other GB ROMs as well)
credit goes to mateorod for patch and script, me for scripting, and svyat for this awesome work on PDroid 1.32

Prerequisite
1. set up linux vm if you don't have a linux machine
2. install the linux packages "jdk" (and "jdk-devel" depending on linux distro) if missing "java" or "jar" (openjdk works as well as sun java jdk)
3. install the linux command "patch" if missing (see below)

HOW TO PATCH: (linux only)
1. download pdroid smali patcher for linux (see above)
2. unzip
3. run it by "./pp/pdroid_patcher YOUR_ROM_ZIP {PATCH}" (optional argument PATCH if you need to specify which patch to use, where PATCH is cm9, aokp, etc.)
4. flash pdroid.zip with CWM to install pdroid patched framework (flash restore.zip if you want to revert back to original)

HOW TO VM see robjective's post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8&postcount=37
HOW TO INSTALL TOOLS if you encounter "Missing patch diff tools" error, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=422

Hi.

Would the above zip work on CM9 on SGS2 (i9100)?

Thanks.

source patch in post #1 should be able to compile into any CM9.

I have to compile the code directly on my phone haven't I?

That is the only way for now.

Hi.

I've successfully compiled PDroid into CM9.

One question though. If I afterwards do a 'repo sync -j16', do I have to diff the files again?
I assume I have to if those files get updated but if they don't and I still diff them, the diff will fail and that's that, correct?

Thanks.

i am no expert of "git", but i guess "repo sync" will always revert all the changes you make.
i do it a hard way (i have a separate folder which is a shadow copy of repo sync'ed one.)
i'd appreciate it if someone can explain a clever way to "git" and "patch".

edit: would you mind telling people which device you compiled it for ?
edit: never mind. i saw your other post saying I9100.
