Hey guys,
this is a port of PDroid v1.32 based on pastime1971 patch. All credits goes to CM9 Team, Svyat and also pastime1971 for his port, because I had no time to do it on my own.
I modified source code to get full working for ICS without any issues. Features:
No java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException
No android.database.sqlite.SQLiteMisuseException
No FC's of PDroid
No java.util.ConcurrentModificationException
No *** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS
No NullPointerException
No random SOFTREBOOTS anymore!
I want to share it because privacy for android is needed and very helpful, so please feel free to download and leave comment if it works for you.
Install Instructions:
Go to recovery menu
wipe cache and partition / you also can only flash this zip without a wipe, like update to new nightly
install this zip
reboot
have fun!
Download link: http://www.MegaShare.com/4382332
Just to let everyone know that this build runs perfectly.
Pdroid is a welcome addition.
Cheers to the OP.

Nice one
By any chance do you have the ability to share the patches you used to do this? Keen to see if I can merge this against CM... They might not accept it on gerrit, but it would be nice to be able to apply it on top
Perhaps a little explanation pdroid is just an app.

Nvm I did a bit of research.... It's an app that needs ROM support (I knew that)
The patches are at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554960, with an auto patcher at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719408 for anyone who prefers a one-click method
Just another thankful user here! This thread deserves a little more attention, especially for those looking to patch PDroid on ICS for the SGS II. I have had a hard time trying to find one, and trying to use the auto-patcher without any technical know-how. The ROM in this thread has helped me set up a beautiful CM9 ROM with a working PDroid. Thank you!
For those who are not aware, PDroid is a privacy application that allows you to control the permissions given to specific apps. In other words, with this application, it is possible to hide your Device ID.. your GPS location.. Network location.. And this is the only application that can do that. Sure, there is LBE Privacy Guard as well, but it does not cover other aspects like... say, the SIM card.. your Accounts.. Your contacts...
Even better, this application allows you to create fake values to put in, or if you're feeling a little lazy, you could even randomize the values to put in! A really handy application to have, and something cool to have as a security feature.
Does it work on AOKP roms?

This build is not the same as the patcher from pastime. I've got tons of exceptions while booting and a lot of data leaks! After using it a while I got random softreboots due to nullpointerexception in system thread. I posted in thread that the patch causes random softreebots and they said that it is normal if you revoke permissions of system apps, but that's fail (sorry)! So, I wanted to have CM9 -> build it on my own was the only way to get a working smooth CM9 with PDroid!
I wrote a testing environment on emulator and was able to reproduce the exceptions. First I hav very complex solution, but then I went the "dirty" way, but it works exactly as it should! After that i fixed it and build my own rom, so that it is able to use CM9 and PDroid.
Does it work on AOKP roms?

It is a ready CM9 build for galaxy S2 based on nightly from 11.07.2012, not a patch! If you installed this rom before, just update with this zip. If you want to use CM9 on your Device (SGS2), follow the install instruction in main post.
hey,
thx but can you make a fresh build for CM9 RC2 ? I think this version would reach much more users than a build for a nightly.

Thank you, so the problem with the missing code for the pdroid app is solved?
Hey Collegedev,
I had a fair bit of trouble downloading from your file server. So when I finally got the whole file without failures, I extracted the core.jar, framework.jar & services.jar (as that is what is in other working patches), zipped, signed, then flashed it on cm9 builds 18, 19, 21, 22, 23. I'm no pro and I'm new to pdroid, but it all seems to be working to me.
Thank you very much.
I will share this, if you want or you might like to supply the same yourself. (I don't have a great ISP.)
(Please excuse me if I have overstepped my bounds, I'm just trying to help. :angel: )
Can I flash this on ParanoidAndroid(cm9 based)?
Wanna make sure first since I'm not sure if it'll break anything.

Yeah! Was about ready to ship the GenieGo back and let Directv know what I thought of the root check for their Android app. Works fine on my GS2 running the Jedi Mind Trick (JB2) ROM.

If Paul can add this to the toolkit, there is no need to modify the APK and we can keep the play store version installed.

It takes me two minutes to remove the root and custom rom check (as well as the other things that they check before allowing end user to use the app)
Sure he could do that, but he would have to update his code everytime the app is updated as well. (Package names change, app dev "attempting" to preform checks other ways therefore changing the code and so forth are many reasons I wouldnt think he would bother)
If you have a precaution about running an app that someone (in this case me) has modified (for any reason ) and you want to use the original application you know u can "hide root" with many third party apps, and its even possible with supersu. This way would allow you to use un altered app.
To recap, I have no problem with any additional solutions to reach the same end result. There are many ways to get the same result.

4.3 broke a lot of apps...
That said, from a clean reboot ( simply for less cluter) run a logcat and launch app grab the failure and send it to me.
Edit:
After some quick googling thats not an app or os problem but something on "thier" side of things.
Google " error code AR/1001" and you'll find what I found .
Hi,
You may be aware of recent news about 2 different security vulnerabilities that allow replacing code on a signed APK while maintaining the original signature.
Master Key (Bug 8219321)
An issue related with duplicate entries on the ZIP / APK files.
It was patched by Google back in February 2013 and shared with OEMs, and some of the newer devices might have already received the fix in a recent stock update.
Bug 9695860
This also originates in the ZIP file parsing routines, and was disclosed just a few days ago immediately after the previous one was made public. The correction has already been applied by Google to the code,
Checking if you're affected - if youre running any ICS ROM on your Xperia 2011 you are
You can use 3rd party apps to test your system, such as:
- SRT AppScanner
- Bluebox Security Scanner
On Android 4.3 both of these bugs should be fixed, as well as on the latest CM's.
While technically different, both of these vulnerabilities permit that legitimate APKs can be manipulated to replace the original code with arbitrary one without breaking the signature. This allows someone to take an update from a well known publisher (e.g. Google Maps), change the APK, and a device receiving it will happily apply the update as if it was indeed from that publisher. Depending on the apps being updated in this way, priviledge escalation can be achieved.
Google has already mentioned that all apps published on the Play Store are checked for this kind of manipulation, but those of us installing APKs from other sources aren't safe.
Installation steps
1. Reboot to CWM
2. Flash the file
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Reboot to system - you're safe
Warning & Recomnendation
- This is a HUGE Issue. If you are installing apks outside from gplay often, its highly recomnend to apply this patch no matter what ICS based ROM you are running - Flash ROM, and immediately after flashing the ROM also flash the patch, than reboot.

Its our AND sony's problem.
Ok, heres what the issue is:
- when you install an app, outside of gplay, a hacker can keep the original signature (and we will think its for example our nice google maps update), and the system will ask us to replace the original app. But the hacker modified the code, and it can acess to all things google maps does - internet, contacts, basically everything, and can send the information to servers, with your number, email etc. Also, it can send sms to premium numbers etc

Sent from my Xperia Neo V using xda premium
First off I do not own an i605 myself but have the l900 (sprint) which is almost the same device. Hardware wise there is only a tiny difference which is in the partition setup. Sprint uses a different data partition mccblk0p17 where all other N2's use mccblk0p16 the other is our mccblk0p16 which contains special files used by sprint on their stock roms (just to make our lives more difficult). I have been working with @lacoursiere18 on a few of my projects for the l900 and we tried to port an earlier version of MIUI for our devices before he got busy with school. Since then I have successfully ported over MIUI to the l900 and i605. Brian has been nice enough to test build out and confirm it works great on the i605. So now I am releasing this for your flashing pleasure. I also took a little extra time and modified Plasma 2.55 to work with MIUI and gotten permission from @ffolks (a few months ago) to post the modified kernel for everyone to use.
Well everyone (l900 users and those who browse the l900 forums) already knows I hate doing OP's so they stay pretty simple and this wont will be any different. Also MIUI users know that there are weekly updates but since this is a port and I have so many projects going on. It might be a month or two between my releases.
This is ported from the N7100 which is based on Omni rom. Original rom is located here
http://en.miui.com/download-35.html
and is the one by mdiary. So far only issues I know of it call recorder does not work (just says being used by another app) and you have to go into settings..mobile networks..network mode and change to CDMA+LTE/EvDO to enable 4g after every boot. If you flash any gapps package you will lose gps. If you continue to read the OP I will give instructions on how to setup your MIUI rom to get the most out of it.
So I took the base and turned it into a full featured rom with a whole mess of add-ons and tweaks.
Included items/tweaks/mods
Adfree (although I already have a host list created)
dolphin browser
dolphin jetpack plugin
adobe flash 11.1 kk
es file manager
LG G3 Keyboard and a few themes
WSM (MIUI Xposed)
Mi-Tools module (like wanam or gravity box)
Paid themes module (all miui themes are free)
AOSP Dash Clock widget
AOSP Calender widget
Terminal emulator
A bunch of build.prop tweaks
A bunch of init.d scripts (to enable them continue reading the OP)
Bug list
MIUI-i605 4.9.5
Any Omni bugs
call recording does not work
If you flash any gapps besides mine you will lose gps
Change Log
MIUI-i605 4.9.5 9-8-14
First port of rom
Downloads
Flashing instructions
1. Backup internal sdcard to you PC or external sdcard (this will really help prevent issues
2. Boot into recovery and backup current rom
3. Do a factory reset (if using philz/cwm do clean for new rom)
4. Format/wipe internal sdcard (if you dont do this and have issues first thing I will say is format it)
5. Reboot back into recovery (this will create your internal sdcard dir structure)
6. Flash MIUI and boot it
7. After initial setup power off and boot into recovery
8. Flash Gapps (please do it in this order or you will end up wiping and reflashing)
9. Boot into rom
10. Go to post #3 and follow those steps
Do not flash any kernel besides the modified Plasma or your rom wont boot. If there is an AOSP kernel you want to use let me know and I will make it compatible.
Plasma 2.55 MIUI edition Synapse is included in this flashable zip

Importaint tips for MIUI
Simple things for now
1. Open security (located on first screen)..permissions.. and turn on root permission
2. Open WSM tools (miui xposed) and click install DO NOT reboot yet
3. At top of the screen you will see < Manage click here and enable all three modules
4. Reboot phone and setup Mi-Tools to your liking and reboot for settings to be applied
5. Open settings... general settings tab... mobile networks... network mode... set to CDMA+LTE/EvDO (will have to do this every boot to have 4g(LTE)
6. If you want to use a different launcher ( I dont like the iOS style launcher myself ) open settings... general settings... display... default launcher.. and select launcher3 or whatever you have installed yourself
7. Setup your google account and enjoy
Some things are in Chinese
in settings... general settings.. stock settings you will see two chinese options the top one is your advanced settings for samsung devices the bottom one is your Mi-POP settings (that circle with the back icon)

I cannot get anything to get location. Keeps telling me my location services are off but they are not. Please help. Also mi tools will not move clock to center of status bar.
Intro:
I tried using MIUI a lot of time before and always found it so full of apps.
So I searched around xda and compiled a list with packages to remove, which I consider was great because it was a fast and easy way to clean my device.
In the end I thought of sharing it with you, because why not? (xda is all about mods and sharing them right?)
Without further ado:
Instructions:
1) Download the file attached to this post and open it with any text viewer, I recommend notepad++.
2) Open a cmd or powershell window,
3) Run
adb shell (or .\adb shell if powershell)
su (optional depending if you have root)
4) Copy and paste the whole list into the open adb window.
P.S. AND WARNING:
You should really check what you're getting rid of, I suggest Googling every package you are not familiar with.
Also since this is a simple text file you can delete or add packages to adjust to your personal needs, I'm just dropping this as a personal template to make it easy and fast for you to debloat your device.
This is made with the Xiaomi Mi 8 in mind running MIUI, but can work on other brands and devices.
If a packeage trying to uninstall isn't there it'll just skip it and move on, so it's safe to use on any device, just not as effective.
(also of course like with any mod I won't be held responsible for any damage or misfunction that occurs, you're doing this on your own will and your own risk.)
With that being said, cheers, enjoy!
The instructions are inside the text file as well for offline usage.

Glad to see that my work (among the work of others bloat-listing volunteers) is useful mate! :highfive:
The devices we own must be kept clean (and custom ROMs and GSIes help a lot here luckily) so let's keep us updated about new bloats

Other than the fact that you'll lose mi clouds functionality, it should be possible and most likely safe.

I can say the same you said . Every rom/ custom rom should have only basic apps like telephone , messages , camera , settings , and one or two apps more . Others one user should install what he needs .
is it safe to delete all of the things in the list?
LITE Vesion available.
A friend of mine suggested some of the features that got removed could be useful (for some that is) and asked me to make a lite version of the tweak, so yeah, I made one for him and I'm posting it here as well.
Enjoy.
