[PDroid] ICS/JB port of PDroid framework

pastime1971 · Mar 19, 2012

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.

Source code patch : http://code.google.com/p/pdroid/
Download : PDroid app on the market, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.privacy.pdroid
Download : PDroid app (there is a direct download link at svyat's PDroid thread)

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://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31525268&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://xdaforums.com/showthread.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://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27241458&postcount=37
HOW TO INSTALL TOOLS if you encounter "Missing patch diff tools" error, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26388234&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.

wkwkwk · Mar 22, 2012

I did a repo sync and then tried to apply the patch.
Diff said the files seem already patched so I left all of them alone.
I'm trying to recompile right now, although it's going to take a while. I'll let you know about the outcome.

Thanks for your work.

oh, i recall that if there was no change in those files in the repo, git will leave those files alone.
when there is a change in any files that patch changed, repo will complain and fail.
what i do then is delete those patched files, and repo sync again. re-apply patch after. (dirty hack, i know...

)

edit: i would appreciate it if someone can post how to deal with git and manual patch elegantly...

edit: i guess one possibility is to treat the manual patch as a commit (git branch ics; git checkout ics; patch ?)

GuestK00293 · Mar 23, 2012

To start a new topic branch in repo, try "repo start pdroid --all". This create pdroid branch in all git repositories in the android repo. To switch back, "repo start ics --all" or whatever branch you were initially on. Make sure to commit your changes into topic branch before switching

I did what I could as far as patching the cm9 source with the linked files. I'm building on my Fascinate (Samsung galaxy S) and the app seems to be not letting me use it from the market, do I need a different apk or is it just not applied correctly?

PDroid app is the same one. (As far as I know, svyat doesn't have a different version for ICS.)

Do you mean that you can't download PDroid app from market ? If that is the case, check out svyat's thread post #1. He has a direct link to the app. Could you elaborate your symptom more in detail ? I didn't understand it.

tonyp · Mar 25, 2012

Hey pastime, I found this thread just right now - you managed to port it to ICS, well done, congratz

Won't use ICS untill full hwa is working in CM7 (aka LG releasing their ICS) but it's good to know I can continue to use PDroid then, found myself to really like it's functionality.

No I could download and install, just when I went to use it it said that it didn't support ICS and closed on me. So the app was not working for me. Sorry for the confusion I re-read that and could barely understand it myself lol

the app will say that if cm9 framework is not patched with pdroid framework.
do you see frameworks/base/privacy/ ?

mateorod · Mar 28, 2012

Hey, this is great! I am in the middle of a build for my CM9 Nook, but as soon as it finishes i will try this! But it is gonna take some research on my end, I think. I have been building for several weeks but getting a successful build is about the extent of my abilities at the moment. I haven't cherry-picked, or added commits or anything like this. I guess I am about to learn!

Where do I put the downloaded patch in my build directory? Or is this a git branch you have already posted the source code to?

Sorry for so noob! I just need my hand held some, I guess.

you can put diff files wherever you want.
just reference them when you do "patch -p1 < DIFF"

it is not going to be in git branch. (first of all, i am not the author of code, svyat is. i am a porter)
the author will post his (Froyo, GB) source code to a google site (soon).
