XDA app requesting SuperUser permissions :O - About xda-developers.com

Hey,
I was just browsing a thread in the Accessories section of the One X forum, when suddenly a SuperSU dialog box appeared, I instantly tapped grant, and then it said 'xda premium has been granted superuser permissions for an interactive shell' and suddenly xda premium crashed.
I'm curious why it asked for SU rights?
My phone details:
International One X
ROM: ViperX v1.0.0
Kernel: Stock (with that ROM)

Oh, and hit the thanks button

Perhaps posting this in the XDA Android App - Problems / Bugs / Feature Requests etc. thread would get more of the right eyes looking at it.

It absolutely shouldn't be doing that as far as I know.
If you know how to, could you adb pull the application, and e-mail me the apk file from your device.
This will let me check that it's definitely 'clean' and not got some code to access su.
I could check the market app, but it makes sense to check the one that caused the issue
You can email me at pulser (dot) XDA (at) gmail (dot) com with it as an attachment

The 3 dot menu bar is why it thinks the screen is smaller than it really is. If you install the mod that removes the bar or get an ICS aware app then it'll see the full 1280x720.

[APP] [UPDATE 06.08] Tegrastats - Monitor your Tegra 3 Processor

hey guys,
i wrot an small app which looks like the tool from nvidia. (youtube ->NVIDIA Tegra 3 - Fifth Companion Core - Official Presentation )
it shows the actual cpu usage of all 4 cores (without companion core) and the ram usage.
it showes if the companion core or the generic core(s) is(are) active.
let you set the number of used cores.
the app needs root and is tested only on my HTC one x, please comment if it is workin on other devices, like Transformer Prime...
it is based on the nvidia commandline tool tegrastats
i just published it on google play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.jonaspfeifer.android.tegrastats
it is called "Tegrastats free".
please give it a try and post your feedback and feature requests.
thx
fix for roms, which showd "?" before.
activate in the developer menue on the phone, "root-access" -> "apps and adb"
download the tegrastats file, extract it from the zip, and put it in the android-sdk-xxx/platform-tools folder
open a terminal and navigate to this folder.
Run this code in the terminal:
./adb push tegrastats /sdcard/tegrastats
./adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/tegrastats /system/bin/tegrastats
chmod 755 /system/bin/tegrastats
rm /sdcard/tegrastats
mount -o ro,remount /system

It has already been made clear that the companion core is handled by the soc itself. Completely invisible to the system so you will not find an api for it

Works as advertised.

okay. hm.
have you rooted the rom?
Great app, thank you!
I'm amazed to see that the cores are almost never completely utilized at once, even in situations where I think it should be necessary such as some games. It would affect the battery negatively if they would change it I guess but I hope to see a custom kernel soon with better performance profiles.
Hi and thanks. Using LeeDrOid 4.0.0. and everything is fine.
Does, what it suppose to do

Man braucht Root Rechte um die App nutzen zu können
You need root rights to start the app properly
//Tested your app! Quite cool i must say But there are some questions. Why is the 1. core always active? Maybe it is a partial load display for the 5. comp. core? Nvidia most likely has other tools to read the correct and detailed status of the whole tegra SOC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dZsS-C6f2Q&feature=player_embedded (This Videos shows how the Comp. COre is always on and working correct(doing low demanding stuff)).

Why you so sure. There might be either an API or a driver. If nvidia has an app that shows 5 cores as seen on YouTube, so can we. It's a matter of coding.
Looks like a good app, unfortunately I get just '?'s on my One X, TripNDroid CM9 rom.
I've attached a logcat (my first one!!... so let me know if I've done it wrong )

thank you for the feedback.
i think the problem with this rom is, that the command line tool tegrastats from nvidia is not part of this rom.
i gonna check it, and find a solution and post it here again.
cu
It's a great app,works verry well on 1.29.401.11 stock ROM,everytime i double check if i selected 2 cores or 4 cores using this app.
Is there anybody with a alternative download link please? Don't know why but since I installed team pokemon Rom 4 my one x says its a one xl.. I don't know how or where to change that behaviour
Thanks in advance
Edit: reinstalled the Rom and have been able to download it. Thx

[APP] Smart Stay Eye Tracking (Works with HTC ONE X)

Hi guys, there's a new eye tracking application that works with HTC ONE X.
Its called Smart Stay, from a developer here in XDA as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708012
The first version didn't work for HTC ONE X but the latest version works well.
The developer is really responsive, I've sent him a few messages already hopefully to improve the application. and yes, you can use the camera when its running.
There's another one, from another dev here its called ISEEYOU.
It works somehow, but you cant use the camera when the program is active. Hopefully it will be fixed in the future version.
Not working for me...

Did you try it?
OP thread says it doesnt support the ONE X, but Im the one who did the testing on the HTC ONE X and got in touch with the developer.
Be sure to download the latest version the one that works, the previous one didn't work.
Also, be sure to turn off your auto brightness setting (not sure if there's an effect but just in case).
Also, when you go to the prograrm, click "turn on", then exit the program, turn off your screen and turn it back on. Now it should work.
BTW, in case you guys were wondering..
Working for me...
ROM: RD MiUI
Kernel: Franco R9
I tried and its working. The problem is the distance control but it will be fixed in the next release.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Just installed and tested it and it seems to work well for me.
Distance needed for it to work might need tweaked but the dev seems to be working on that so should be good.
It works on the One X, the new version changelog sorta confirms it.
But distance indeed seems to be the tricky part. ISeeYou does that part better, but the version 1.2 doesn't work on the One X. So, still Smart Stay is the better now
And also: Smart Stay doesn't break Face Unlock function, ISeeYou does!
new version is out!
with low light support
trying it now..

The Eye Symbol in the Statusbar switched into a eyelash but the Display turn off!
Edit:
OK Guys just restart my Phone and start the Camera and Exit the Camera then it works! The Symbol switched in the eyelash Symbol when the App dont detect your Eyes.
It works but not as well, i hold the phone 30-40 cm from the Face
nice
it's work for me.....
:good::good::good::good::good::good:
This app does work perfectly, works in low light too.
In regards to the above comments, the eyelash notification indicates that it can't track your eyes so it should turn off then.
Only problem is using this has been putting camera into wakelock so it can keep tracking and killing my battery within half a day.
Great concept and fun to show off but not so good if you want to be able to use your phone throughout the day

The whole screen would light up as black instead of being off like Amoled. I don't think LCD's can take full advantage of this feature
I think notifierpro is the best app for this task. The free lite version works awesome.
All they need is a setting to set a timeout. I use Knock² currently and its set to 30seconds. I use it mainly at work to see if a message is worth grabbing my phone for.

It can, the battery drain is significantly higher than an AMOLED screen.
I'm fine with keeping the extra battery life and having the LED. (Dashclock helps on the lock screen).
The Moto X benefits the most by far from this because of a few reasons.
1.) Contextual low-power processor
2.) AMOLED screen
3.) It doesn't have a notification LED to begin with.
i think it is what you personal perfer or like. I thougt nice app let's share. For those ho want it.
Just had a training for my Samsung care point to maintain my license. And had the same explanation of diferents beteween AMOLED, Super AMOLED and LCD.
I hope to get a re traing for HTC to.
I have installed it on my viper Rom. Works perfect. But then I am getting force closes error on gmail. When I disable it. Gmail works fine. But when I enable it. It gives me force close error. Any solution?

[APP] Snapdragon Camera v2.1

According to the QUALCOMM: Snapdragon camera app is designed to make it easier than ever to capture, edit, and share the moments that make life so special, which works with Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 800 series processors.
We have a powerful processor in OnePlus X, so we can benefit from this great Camera application. For extended details on the Snapdragon Camera, features and some samples please visit the official blog post here
How to install
>> A flashable zip for automatic installation is here
Thanks to @Einstein67
Manually:
Step 1:
Download required files
- Snapdragon Camera v2.1
- Snapcamtinyplanet.so
- Snapcammosaic.so
Step 2:
» Download the camera apk and lib.files [Snapcammosaic.so , Snapcamtinyplanet.so] into your device.
» Open any root explorer app and navigate to device/internal storage>system>lib>place the two lib files downloaded above{cut/paste}. Also change permissions to each lib to 0644 (-rw-r--r--).
» Similarly, place the snapdragon camera app [apk.file] in device/internal storage>system>app and again change permissions to apk to 0644 (-rw-r--r--).
» Now, reboot your device to activate the changes and enjoy! :victory:
any sample shot comparisons?

Excellent! Thanks! Camera is lightning fast! No more delay after taking a pic
Lots of options, but can't save to SD card. It will save to USB OTG though, I clicked on this even though I had no USB plugged in and it gave me a toast of couldn't locate SD card, which won't go away now. It works nicely though and some will find it useful.
@jackshot you've forgotten a very important point. The permissions have to be changed on both the libs and on the apk too.

This camera worked, the only issue I had was that any other camera wouldn't open afterwards (had to fc the snapdragon camera), but maybe that's related to the missing permissions, that info came after I tried it.
