[Q] Device-agnostic application to access root privilege - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone!
I am creating an application which needs access to root privileges in order to be able to modify Call Manager given in the Android OS framework.
While I have been able to create an sample application with the help of a platform signature, but this solution is ROM-specific and we really need a way to develop an application which works on multiple platforms.
Any ideas/pointers would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
Vincent

Hi all,
I am still looking for an answer, but in the meanwhile I found that sharedUserId uses platform signature for accessing internal/hidden classes.
This is exactly what we have been doing and would like to know if we can have an alternate way to access and modify internal classes without using platform signature.
Thanks

[Q] How to develop a file encryption app

I want to develop a file encryption app, but I do not know how to begin and how to do. Hope some stagers could give me some thought and guidance. I am the new one for android.
You may want to look at the Java Cipher and Java CipherInputStream classes. Since I am a new member I cannot link you to the Java documentation on these, but doing a simple Google search should yield them as the first results.
With these you should be able to accomplish a file encryption application. Depending on your knowledge of encryption algorithms you may want to start by learning about DES as it is a little easier to implement with the Cipher classes.

[Advice] Android app development advice

I'm currently doing a project to develop and implement an android application based on research. I'm new to this area and my knowledge is very limited, however I have basic knowledge only in Java. I really would appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction with relevant guides/tutorials on development of this specific application and the basic tools required as starting point.
The application is intended to do the following:
Works like an image gallery by default
Provide pattern authentication on one of the image the user selects from the gallery (Inital setup)
The pattern zone/click areas must be invisible to all (Including the intended user)
The user should be able to use that pattern over the image to unlock the application (without any trails/patterns visible)
Once authenticated, it must unlock the application and provide access to the user to use certain websites/information etc..
I would highly appreciate if I could get advice on how to go about this project.
Thanks in advance !

[Q] Android, an open system ?

Hi everybody,
I have been advised to seek for information on your forum by people from a french forum, Phon Android.
I am trying to understand limitations put by Google on the access to Android system. Here a few pieces of information I have, which might not even be exact. Please, correct me and supply with the right info:
- Google provides some access to the Android functionalities, but not all,
- For example, one restriction is access to GPS switch,
- No one knows on which basis Google forbids such or such access,
- So, Google provides some library syntax to use Android system, but not its code ?
- There are systems, like Cyanogen which allow to use all the functionalities brought by Android. But from where do the developpers of such system get the information, if Google does not give the full info. on its system ?

Reverse Engineering question.

Hello guys.
I friend of mine is challenging me to hack his application but I ve a little problem. I think it should be easy to do for you guys but I m noob and I need more informations.
In the application when I click a button a Webview is opened and a link is loaded. In this link I should put some informations. If the informations are correct the website loaded in the webview (or the server in which is hosted) comunicates to the applications that the informations are correct and the application unlock some cool functions I can use. My task is to find where the application retrieve these informations from the webview in order to change the verification method orin order to find where the application unlock the cool functions (but I m sure that if I find where the application is getting data from the webview I can find the rest). The problem is that I can't find nothing that is comunicating with the webview.
Can you suggest me if there is some functions or classes that are able to comunicate with webview or website?? Or if there is a fast way to find the function used ??
