Add a system group in Android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I'm very aquanted how to do this in Linux, but I would like to know if there is a way to create a system group in Android? for example:
Root is member of the "Root" system group
The regular user that's logged in on the phone (I'm using an Evo LTE) is as follows:
uid=10213(app_213) gid=10213(app_213) groups=1015(sdcard_rw), 3003(inet)
I would like to know how to create these additional groups?
I'm rooted with Busybox installed.
Thanks in advance!

All user and group id's are hard-coded into Android. Look in system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h of the Android OS source. Still nothing keeps you from starting to use a free group id number for you own purpose, but you can't name it without recompiling the OS.

[Q] Yarvik Xenta 97ic (TAB9-200) and contacts app

Hi all,
i am new here in the forum, I would like to learn a bit how the android operating system works and to fully utilize my tablet.
My tablet is upgraded to Android 4.1.1 from oficial website and i can't use contacts because it is not an application for it, in /system/app the only application related to contacts GoogleContactsSyncAdaoter.apk v4.1-392829. Then i can't use mail applications (gmail, standard mail app) because when i try to write a new message it doesn't appear contacts. With other standard smartphones i can synchronize contacts with my google account and use it with mail apps without problems.
You know well the android operating system. How can we fix this problem?
I don't know how contacts app works (internal databases involved, other services involved...) i would like to know about it and i could test with my tablet if you help me.
I think if we find solution to this problem might help other users with this tablet.
On the official site have asked several people about this without getting any response.
Thanks in advance
Contacts.apk working again but on 4.0.4 firmware
we have installed previous firmware version 4.0.4 from yarvik and it we have now contacts.apk again, we had to install AppDrawer to create shortcut for Contacts.apk (it is hidden) and now it works ok for creating, synchronizing and managing contacts correctly.
The problem is that now we have old firmware version.
¿Do you think it could be possible save
Contacts.apk
ContactsProvider.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
from version 4.0.4 upgrade again to version 4.1.1 and install this 3 apk after upgrading?
Do i have to save other *.apk for this to work?
Thanks in advance
Tested other Contacts app and doesn't word
Hi again,
after several hours searching i have access to adb.
tested other Contacts.apk, ContactsProvider.apk and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk and received message "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped", all tests are on the following link:
forum.yarvik.com/showthread.php?4447-Contacts-apk-missing
Original Yarvik GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk is version 4.1-392829, size 194,268 bytes.
Which other apk are related to Contacts/People in Android version 4.1.1 for use and synchronize it completely in my tablet?
How could i use Contacts/People service in my tablet?
I think i don't posted my question in appropriate forum, in two days not received help, moderator could move this to the appropiate forum.
thanks in advance!

[Root editing] customising default system images

Hi all!
I'm just wondering if I were to root my S7 Edge would I then be able to go into system files and edit the standard emojis? If yes, would I then be able to use them online on Facebook and Instagram etc and would other people see them as the customised version?
Kind regards

UICC Carrier Privileges - bypass

Hello,
I will start by apologizing if this is the wrong thread to ask my question and for any and all grammar mistakes it may contain.
I am interested if , on a rooted phone , the check granting carrier privileges to an app can be bypassed.
The reason is quite simple , I need to test the native visual voicemail for an upcoming project and the customer is stuck in negotiations for pushing it's app to the Store.
My questions are:
Q1: Is is possible to bypass the check and edit the relevant keys directly?
Q2: Is there already such an app?
Q3: If not what is the process for requesting such an app/process ( I'm doing this with a limited budget but I will try to make it worth your time ).
Thank you!
Hi
Since I can't post links yet, just google "UICC android" and folow the link "UICC Carrier Privileges | Android Open Source Project" for more detailed information.
Carrier privileges are only set when the certificate you use to sign your .apk is the same as the one loaded into specific SIM applet. This means that in order to have your app get that permissions, your client needs to have your app certificate sent via OTA to the simcards that you want the app to work with.
Other than that, you would need to have your application installed as a system app, which means your app would have to be signed with the device manufaturer's certificate.
