[Packages][6-14]PDroid and V6 for multiple ROMS

Update 08-16 This thread is deprecated, and the package list is now obsolete!

There is no need to wait for me to make you packages, now you can bring PDroid and the V6 to almost any ROM with any build date.

You can use my tool The Auto-Patcher to make your own flashable zips. We support Gingerbread through Jellybean and the tool can be used on Linux, Mac and Windows

Thanks for the support, the tools I made to support this thread are what became the Auto-Patcher, so a big thank you to all the people who tried the packages.

I hope you found Botbrew itself interesting. There is literally no limit to what that wonderful package manager can bring to Android. Inportb's project is still very relevant, and will be a major part of how we bring on-device modding to Android ( Stay tuned over at the Auto-Patcher thread).

Original Thread below

Packages for the Kindle Fire
Botbrew is a package manager for android developed by inportb. Some of the available packages are python, ruby, git and more libs than you can shake a stick at. I believe it to be the most powerful development tool in the market, bar none. Go to the thread if you would like to learn more (which I wholeheartedly recommend!)

I have been offering these packages to a range of devices and roms, and was asked to add the Kindle to the supported devices.

The Mods

Pdroid is a permission management tool. It allows users to block apps from having permissions the user is uncomfortable with, including system apps. It also allows custom IMEI numbers, phone numbers and other security features. If you don't think an app should have access to your contacts or incoming phone calls, this is the app for you.
The V6 Supercharger is a memory management script. You will have to get the script itself from its dev, zeppelinrox's OP. This is simply a services.jar, modded to enable the V6 on ICS. Available alone or with PDroid.

Both of these mods are only available through smali editing or build patching. Botbrew allows users to install these packages over nightlies, without any extra flashing or risk.

Directions

Please be sure to only install the package that matches your ROM! So if you have AOKP installed, only install packages that have AOKP in the title! If you don't see your daily driver on the list, go ahead and request a specific ROM in the thread and I will see what I can do.

Install Botbrew (Free from Google Play)
Botbrew will bootstrap in some packages necessary for its operation.
Install repository-mateorod and press the refresh packages button
Choose one of the packages (JUST one!!) and install it.
Reboot
Launch and configure PDroid app
If you chose to install android-framework-pdroid-v6-(ROM-name), navigate to where ever you saved the V6 script and run it in terminal with

Code:

sh V6*

A V6 configuration guide that will work for your device is here.

Update 6-16 Users have had trouble running the V6 this way. Script Manager seems to be the consensus for now. I will try and update the manual directions when I have some time!

Whenever you update to a new ROM, just launch Botbrew and check the repairable packages screen. Reinstall the overwritten packages on the list, and reboot. That's it!

A long Q&A about Botbrew and package management for my Nook Packages is here. Much of it will apply to the Kindle packages as well, especially the beginning where I make the case for package management over flashable zips.

With ICS being in open development, eventually these packages will go out-of-date as the source repos evolve. If you ever install a package and reboot into bootloops or FCs, just boot into recovery and reflash your ROM (no wiping necessary!). Come report the issue here at the thread and I will update the packages ASAP!

It's always a challenge, really. Trying to put in the right balance of information so that people can be caught up to speed without reading a book, you know? I guess I didn't get it quite right.

The two packages available specifically for the kindle are the ones you listed above. Both packages port the privacy app PDroid to AOKP builds. The android-framework-pdroid-v6-aokp package also ports the V6 supercharger capabilities.

Without combining the two into one package, users would either have to choose between them, or edit their own source code personally.

Both of those programs are pretty popular mods that can only work on ICS by altering the source code of the ROM framework itself. Before pastime1971 and I got the port of PDroid done, there wasn't any way to have it on ICS. Through Botbrew's package management, I offer packages to bring this function to everyday users who don't build from source, or do their own smali editing. If you do either of those two things, you might not need these packages, although it is certainly easier to use them than recreate them for every nightly you flash.

If you are asking about the mods themselves, well in the first post there is a section called The Mods which briefly explains the programs enabled by the packages. There are plenty of links to more info.

And finally, if you are asking exactly what the package themselves do, well, they contain pre modded system apps I personally made for the Kindle Fire. Botbrew uses precision maintainer scripts to allow it to swap in and out system apps within the davlik VM without damaging the device's function. Botbrew also backs up your existing system apps, so returning to how it was when you flashed is one click away.

Did I answer your question? Let me know if there is something specific I am not being clear about.

I have added packages android-framework-pdroid-cm9reloaded and android-framework-pdroid-gedemis to the Botbrew repo.

I did not add the V6 functionality to these packages. That is something I added to the AOKP packages as an experiment. If it seems people would like it and would use it, then I can add them, but for now I am just sort of testing it out.

Note: If I add the V6 changes, I will continue to offer the PDroid packages without the V6-capability as well.

Sure...since you asked...

...it's already done!

There is now Pdroid and Pdroid+V6 options for AOKP, Gedemis and CM9 reloaded in the Botbrew repo!

See the first post for specific package names.

Please be sure to only install the package that has the name of your rom in the package title...

So...android-framework-pdroid-v6-gedemis will ONLY work for Gedemis CM9 roms. Got it? Thanks!

Update 5/15 The CM repo had a pretty big change tonight, necessitating an update for packages for several devices. I know the Kindle Builds aren't nightlies though, so I am going to wait and see if I get any user feedback. I know the packages currently work, so if any of the above ROMS update anytime soon, please post an alert in the thread and I will update the Kindle's packages in the Botbrew repo.

Thanks!
