Hi XDA!
This is my first post here. I need some guidance on making a system application that is capable of disabling a particular hardware component device. I don't know if it is possible or not, but I need a direction towards this. Even if it isn't possible, I would be grateful if anyone can guide me atleast close to this. I know making basic android applications and am interested in making apps that have a much more stronger hold on the device. Also what knowledge and experience do I need to be capable to explore this area.
tl;dr: need a direction and advice to make a hardware disabling system application
Any advice is appreciated.
Ciao!

Hi Guys
Quick question on this one I am trying to troubleshoot my tablet at the moment, its running CM and I dont know enough about the environment of android to understand the logs. My basic question is this can someone define what a task/service/app actually is and which are dependant on each other. I have a vague idea but I''m coming from a windows mindset so I may be wrong in the linux world. I believe that it's something like the below
Android---Windows
Service---Service
Tasks---Process
Apps---Application​
So apps are dependant on tasks which are dependant on services. Is that correct? If someone could explain this that would be great thanks.
In general yes.
Android = operating system(OS) - such iOS,Windows etc.
Apps=Applications.

tasks and Activitys:

Hello, I hope I am posting this in the correct place. The question I have is that I am interested in becoming an Android Dev on the OS level rather the the application level. Specifically taking android source and adding device drivers to make it functional on specific devices from scratch. All the literature I've found was application level development. I am needing some help finding the literature I need. Anyone know of any titles in which I can order/download? Any information would be greatly appreciated..
I'm a noob, who is trying to make an app that can track my college attendance, and automatically calculate:
1)The percentage of attendance.
2)Number of lectures needed to attend to meet required percentage.
Again, I'm a noob. I have just been introduced to coding. If anyone can point me into a direction, I'd be really helpful.
P.S. I know there are apps on the Internet that already do this, but I want to learn coding, so I figured why not start with something I, and others can actually use.
Hi all,
We are looking at releasing a new Android device, and have a few ideas for modifying the Android platform for this release, but we are having a hard time fulfilling these ideas. The product will be using OS4.2. I have copied details below for any guidance or advise:
1) Removing the App overview button. We want to remove the button on the home page that is selected to open the App overview page. How can we achieve this?
2) Automatic WiFi selection. It would be beneficial to the product to have the WiFi only on when in certain Apps (all Apps will be preinstalled to the device). If it is any easier, we could also have the WiFi go off automatically in certain devices. Preferably the former, but if one is easier than the other, we don't mind.
There are other modifications we will be undertaking, however these have been achieved. If someone could provide assistance with this, that would be great.

Is there anyone that can assist with this?
Hi folks,
I would like to get more data about the application life-cycle as it executes on a device. This would mean getting data about the methods executed, api calls used, url's opened, files saved/deleted etc. I have tried a number of tools but always felt more data can be obtained. Kernel modification seems like a good approach towards this goal - would like some guidance on this topic.
What are some things I should follow to achieve this goal ? If there is something already that I can use then please point me in the right direction.
Would love to hear from the folks here on this topic.
I really appreciate any help towards this.
