I have an app I have written with the help of another user on the forum here. It currently executes shell scripts that are located in the /system/bin directory.
Is there a way to add these scripts to an assets directory within the app and call on them from list view strings?

You can add anything to the "assets" directory in your project and it will be stored as-is in the apk; however, you'll need to extract it and place it somewhere to be able to use it. "res/raw" is another place you can add raw resources. Your main activity should check to see if you're scripts exist and if not, extract and copy them to a directory owned by your apk (like "/data/data/com.example.myprog/shell-scripts"). Create a function in your class and call it from the main activity in OnCreate(). Add a function something like this:
Code:
protected void CheckAndCopyScript() {
// check if it's already there
File myscript = new File("/data/data/com.example.myapp/scripts/script.sh");
if (myscript.exists()) {
// already there, nothing to do.
return;
}
//create the directory
Process p1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh");
DataOutputStream os1 = new DataOutputStream(p1.getOutputStream());
os1.writeBytes("mkdir /data/data/com.example.myapp/scripts/\n");
os1.writeBytes("exit\n");
os1.flush();
//open the raw resource
InputStream scriptStream = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.myscript);
try {
byte[] bytes = new byte[scriptStream .available()];
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(scriptStream );
dis.readFully(bytes);
//create the new script file
FileOutputStream scriptOutStream = new FileOutputStream(
"/data/data/com.example.myapp/scripts/script.sh");
scriptOutStream .write(bytes);
scriptOutStream .close();
// set executable permissions on the script
Process p2 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh");
DataOutputStream os2 = new DataOutputStream(p2.getOutputStream());
os2.writeBytes("chmod 755 /data/data/com.example.myapp/scripts/script.sh\n");
os2.writeBytes("exit\n");
os2.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
//show the exception
Toast.makeText(this, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
}
}
Thanks for the info. I will try this soon when I am jot so sick and hopefully you won't mind if I pock your brain a bit if I run into issues.

I froze it for now with Titanium.
But AdvanceS seems to be part of lidroid Mod which is probably included with Omega and other ROMS and is NOT out of Google Play.
Seems to be a config-tool for SystemUI. I don't used it so far ...
Therefore I think it will reactivated when I flash a new version of the ROM.

Hmmmm.......I think I will notify the mods about this and let them get to the bottom of it
Edit...done.
OP Was this mod something you got off XDA? If so could you point me to it. I know of the mod and I've used it in my own roms but like others have said, It shouldn't be uploading your IMEI number anywhere. If it is, you might have gotten a hacked version of the mod with maliciousness code. If the source is XDA please let me know ASAP so we can look into it. If it's not from XDA then there really isn't much we can do about it

Hmm, it seems NOT inside my Omega Package.
But I never installed any apps from other locations than XDA or google play.
I will try to find the app in the files i got on my harddisk ...
The app is named "com.lidroid.settings" when I see it right in Titanium
It maintains a database "telocation.db" ... the content seems to be chinese :S
I exported the content for further investigation and will uninstall and delete that crap from my phone ...
Hope that droidwall has blocked the network access :S

I checked it with "LogMan logcat" from google play ...
It was pretty lucky that I tested this tool ...
If you want to check your phone you can start LogMan right after a phone reboot ...

The apk for Lidroid is in /system/framework
I don't have my GS3 with me today (I also have the mod) so I can't check. I'll shoot a PM over to the Dev who created Lidroid and ask him
the other app it uses is Quicksettings.apk (I believe that's the name off the top of my head)
I don't have the device on my hand to check, but i guess it's because of the Telocation service, i used to hide this tab on my ports, but i didn't remove the services, because i tough it uses the local database.
Anyway i will repack a new one asap.
Edit : i repacked a new one (attached), i removed all telocation dependencies, i had to remove others tab for safety.

In my opinion no need to worry, this service was included in all Lidroid Roms since GS2 days for Chinese users only, i can't confirm that Lidroid save any information remotely.
I need to check the telocation sources, this may give us more information about this issue.

Lidroid uses this class to collect stats about his users build, this classe call a remote service and save the installed build number for each device ID.
For stats purposes? maybe, i think he wouldn't logged it if he want to use it for bad purposes, Lidroid is the only one who can give us more lights about this.
Anyway the new repacked one is safe to use, i will update my toggles threads asap.
Thanks Wanam and all others involved in resolving this :thumbup:
Is it safe for all devices?
Hi, I'm trying to use the library RootTools to make root operations on android system. I want to make a backup of some files including in the /etc folder with the next commands:
Code:
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
File exists = new File("/etc/gps.conf");
if (exists.exists()) {
// We make a backup first
int date = (int) System.currentTimeMillis();
String source = "/etc/gps.conf";
String destination = "/etc/gps" + date + ".conf";
RootTools.copyFile(source, destination, true, true);
// Last time that file was modified
// Date filedate = new Date(exists.lastModified());
}
}
});
It's supposed that with the RootTools.copyFile I can make that operation, but It doesn't make anything. I see that in cat /proc/mount doesn't appear etc folder. I'm tried too with the Apache transfer file copy, FileUtils.copyFile(source, destination) but it seems that it have problem with the mount system, who seems to be in RO. I try too with RootTools.remount("/etc", "RW") but fails too.
I'm lost with this issue. Pleeeeeease give some advices!!! I want to know how I can edit, create, delete, modify files in /etc /data... etc.
I'm testing this on a Samsung Galaxy S3 with an stock rom 4.1.2.
Thanks for your advices.

This is the problem. The third parameter of RootTools.copyFile(source, destination, true, true) enable the RW option of the folder before the copy. The problem is that it doesn't change the mount type, still RO, still when I try RootTools.remount("/etc/", "rw").
I want to know if there is another way to do that.
Thanks.
My galaxy player 4.0 got wet and everything works including charging, but usb data transfers do not work. If a flash a bad update that requires recovery via download mode I am screwed. I will still stick around on these forums, but I will be getting another tablet just to experiment with. So for now I will not be posting builds with my experimental mods.
Oh.. Sorry for that guy.. Thats really sad.... I liked your mods..
Edit: and yes.. Please share the source of the mod.. (I'm building my own roms and that would be pretty nice.. I even want to ask for this cause im using optimized compiler flags which don't affect your (pre)built framework.. 2nd thing is that the rom i'm building has other framework sources than official cm)..

My galaxy player works fine it is just usb data does not work. I will still be doing mods but it will be for another tablet, most likely the nook hd since the galaxy tab 3 does not have cm yet because of the closed source marvell soc.
the attached source.zip contains the mods that I did.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693483 for the mod I had to do to get philz recovery to compile.
Surfaceflinger.cpp mod:

return getDensityFromProperty("qemu.sf.lcd_density.xdpi"); }

static int getBuildYDensity() {

static int getBuildDensity() {
return getDensityFromProperty("ro.sf.lcd_density"); }
};
if (type == DisplayDevice::DISPLAY_PRIMARY) {
// The density of the device is provided by a build property
float density = Density::getBuildDensity() / 160.0f;
if (density == 0) {
// the build doesn't provide a density -- this is wrong!
// use xdpi instead
ALOGE("ro.sf.lcd_density must be defined as a build property");
density = xdpi / 160.0f;
}
if (Density::getBuildXDensity()) {
// if "ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi" is specified, it overrides xdpi
xdpi = Density::getBuildXDensity();
}
if (Density::getBuildYDensity()) {
// if "ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi" is specified, it overrides ydpi
ydpi = Density::getBuildYDensity();
}
if (Density::getEmuXDensity()) {
// if "qemu.sf.lcd_density" is specified, it overrides everything
xdpi = Density::getEmuXDensity();
}
if (Density::getEmuYDensity()) {
// if "qemu.sf.lcd_density" is specified, it overrides everything
ydpi = Density::getEmuYDensity();
}
if (Density::getEmuDensity()) {
// if "qemu.sf.lcd_density" is specified, it overrides everything
xdpi = ydpi = density = Density::getEmuDensity();
density /= 160.0f;
}
info->density = density;
lets you set custom x and y dpi by setting ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi and ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi. I did this mod so I could change the screen size without having to change the dpi.
Logicaldisplay.java:
Code:
mBaseDisplayInfo.type = deviceInfo.type;
String dxres = String.valueOf(deviceInfo.width);
String dyres = String.valueOf(deviceInfo.height);
String xres = SystemProperties.get("qemu.sf.widthpixels", SystemProperties.get("ro.sf.widthpixels", dxres));
String yres = SystemProperties.get("qemu.sf.heightpixels", SystemProperties.get("ro.sf.heightpixels", dyres));
Integer xre = Integer.valueOf(xres);
Integer yre = Integer.valueOf(yres);
mBaseDisplayInfo.address = deviceInfo.address;
mBaseDisplayInfo.name = deviceInfo.name;
mBaseDisplayInfo.appWidth = xre;
mBaseDisplayInfo.appHeight = yre;
mBaseDisplayInfo.logicalWidth = xre;
mBaseDisplayInfo.logicalHeight = yre;
mBaseDisplayInfo.rotation = Surface.ROTATION_0;
mBaseDisplayInfo.refreshRate = deviceInfo.refreshRate;
mBaseDisplayInfo.logicalDensityDpi = deviceInfo.densityDpi;
mBaseDisplayInfo.physicalXDpi = deviceInfo.xDpi;
mBaseDisplayInfo.physicalYDpi = deviceInfo.yDpi;
mBaseDisplayInfo.smallestNominalAppWidth = xre;
mBaseDisplayInfo.smallestNominalAppHeight = yre;
mBaseDisplayInfo.largestNominalAppWidth = xre;
mBaseDisplayInfo.largestNominalAppHeight = yre;
mBaseDisplayInfo.ownerUid = deviceInfo.ownerUid;
mBaseDisplayInfo.ownerPackageName = deviceInfo.ownerPackageName;
mPrimaryDisplayDeviceInfo = deviceInfo;
mInfo = null;
lets you set custom screen resolution via build.prop by setting ro.sf.widthpixels and ro.sf.heightpixels. this mod can give you additional features or give you a less restrictive experience in certain apps. I did that mod so I could have a 10.1 inch tablet look with a google play compatible dpi of 120.
phonewindowmanger.java:
Code:
// Allow a system property to override this. Used by the emulator.
// See also hasNavigationBar().
String navBarOverride = SystemProperties.get("qemu.hw.mainkeys", SystemProperties.get("ro.hw.mainkeys"));
if ("1".equals(navBarOverride)) {
mHasNavigationBar = false;
} else if ("0".equals(navBarOverride)) {
mHasNavigationBar = true;
}
allows you to enable softkeys by setting ro.hw.mainkeys=0 I did that so I would not have to use qemu properties. Just copy these mods to the apporiate sections and you should be good.
I ended up getting a galaxy tab 2 because of device similarities.

This module fixing external SD card write issue on Android 4.4 KitKat. Module does not have any setting activity. Just enable it in Module tab and restart your phone.
No need to patch platform.xml file.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/kz.virtex.android.sdcardfix
Can be downloaded in Xposed Download tab.
HOW IT WORKS and WHAT FOR?
KitKat No SD card access
If SD card write access not enabled, then no any application without root permission can operate with files on SD Card.
KitKat WITH SD Card access
Once mod is enabled - any application without root access can operate with files on SD, including move, copy, delete.

Advantage against HandleExternalStorage: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-handleexternalstorage-t2693521 ?
Did not know that there was already such a fix available. Just found this one and since it is activated I have much less lags. Seems there were many apps trying to access Sdcard causing lags. Awesome!

oops. tried to search something with "SD" word in repository and didn't find anything.
thought nobody still implemented such mod.
Just downloaded module, decompiled and compared with my version.
I think my method works much more correct and less battery power consumptive. I only hooking internal android packages at startup, while module above doing this with every application.

No. Mine gives extra battery power
The funny thing is that both are 99% the same, the only difference is appendInt()

That's good if so! :good:
do you know alternative to com.android.internal.util.ArrayUtils? Not to use internal API...

Code:

Is this module necessary for CM11 too? Sorry for noob question
Edit: Got it. Its not needed
Does this also fix the option of deleting SD files through regular file explorers and apps?

Just bought a sd card 64 gb samsung EVO , and i have no problem with full acces , copy/erase/moving apps , without installing this module , so , for what is useful this mod ???
Doesn't work for me :^(
Neither this nor the other xposed app mentioned in this thread work for me. Installed the app, marked it active, rebooted (just like I do with any xposed module) and still my apps can't touch the SD space.
Any thoughts or ideas anyone?
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)
SM-P600
Android 4.4.2
Build KOT49H.P600UEUCND2
i face also the same problem. Xperia Z2 here (latest version, Rooted), i have installed / reboot the module, but doesn't let me to move apps to my SD.
Is there any viable solution?
Ty in advance

@Falseclock, same here.....using Xolo Q3000 device with Stock Rooted Android v4.4.2. used this app. (i just hope this is not deemed off-topic here....)
i'm trying to use onandroid v9.51 to create nandroid backups while the device is running. see pics of command output and also platform.xml.
i even tried making changes to /mnt/media_rw like in the pic below (right). still, no go!
any idea why the file system remains read-only? please suggest a workaround or alternate methods. i'm not knowledgeable enough.
many thanks in advance. :fingers-crossed:
