Modified android.keyboard permissions - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

So im old fashion...
Basically i believe a keyboard should NOT have power to record audio.. Now i understand some people like this stuff.. But i dont and if i ever need that feature ill download a seperate application.
Anyway, i moved android.keybaord out of /system and modified its permissions to disallow this. I then patched out the error activity that "force closes" since its just a service it comes back no prob.
Is there some kind of altercation this will cause me down the road? I have nandroid backup.
Also how is there a clean way to disable automatic wifi configuration via dhcp when the wifi radio is off? My current solution is messy... Shouldnt wifi radio being disabled stop all wifi communication? Im not to sure how dhcp functions but i see my phone configuring settings to various wifi networks in the logs even when my radio is off. So i did a messy workaround.....

My dear god! Every system apk has godlike permissions... And this might seem obvious to most. But i refuse to accept my wallpaper accessing my camera... And i know this can be used for cool shot! But jees! Im mutilating my phone because of all this!!
Anyway just modded that too... :/
If anyone knows of future problems of this shot please tell me... I have dual boot and on this partition i have near zero bloatware, and zero google apps.

Ok if anyone knows of a complication.
Like extra battery/cpu use or future corruptipn tell me.

[Q] Wi-fi disconnecting on AOSP (Non-Sense) ROMs.

After trying out several ROMs I have noticed that my wi-fi randomly disconnects, but only for (Non-HTC/Sense) ROMs.
I'm running OpenDesire at the moment, which I really like, but the arbitrary disconnetion of wi-fi is driving me crazy.
As far as I can tell, it has done this with the other Non-Sense ROMs I have tried as well, and I have no idea why.
Wi-fi does switch on, but (part of) the problem _seems_ to be that the phone has trouble actually getting an IP; other than that, and why it does this, I have no idea.
The settings (in *#*#4636#*#* test mode) are basically the same as they are for, say, the official HTC Sense OTA or Pinky, for which wi-fi seems to work perfectly.
Although, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at/for...
Anyone have any ideas?
Any help would be much appreciated
It's not having an issue with getting an IP, it's having an issue with authentication.
The first thing I noticed with these roms is they do not re-prompt to enter a password again if you have mis-typed it at all. This leads to wpa_supplicant client to effectively force a connection and get a refusal in quick succession. The wpa_supplicant client on the phone then disables the connection until you step in and either choose to reconnect or edit the password manually.
The issue we are having is related to this;
After being connected to WiFi for a fair period of time, it re-authenticates with the base station/router as it's supposed to do.
From memory, the re-auth happens every 60 minutes and most decent routers are able to change this.
At this point, the client (phone) tries to re-auth and fails (for whatever reason). Instead of prompting for a password (as it should do). It tries 3 times in total and stops.
After the last failed attempt, it disables the connection that it failed to connect to and jumps back to mobile data (if available).
So. Yes, there is a major issue with the wpa_supplicant in non-sense roms. Could we get the devs to investigate this, as it's really getting to be a major pain in the arse!
I see... Thanks for the clarification. Nicely explained.
So, short of jumping ship to Sense, there's really not much I can do then, other than wait for someone more skilled than me to come up with a solution?
No workaround, third party app, router setting or anything?
Unknown at this moment in time.
I'm investigating this in my own limited knowledge of Android and Linux systems, so far I've not come up with anything solid.
As far as settings you can change on your router, it all depends on your router and it's firmware.
I've got three different routers here:
A) Trendnet TEW-435BRM v4.00.07 : No way to change Key Renewal length
B) Linksys WRT160Nv2 v2.0.03 : Able to change Key Renewal length
C) MZK-MF150 v1.00.16 : Able to change Key Renewal length
Check your router, try increasing the length and have a play around. It's not a fix, the issue is either in the AOSP kernels or the wpa_supplicant module.
My NetGear WNR2000 does not seem to have any (easy) way of configuring Key Renewal Length, but I'll have a look around. Else, I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and go with Sense for a while...
At least now I know it's not just me. That's always comforting.
Thanks for the help acolwill!
No problems at all.
I have been trying to locate an app that will automatically restart the WiFi if a disconnection takes place, however, I've yet to find one :|
Anyone out there know of one?
eham, there's an app on the market called "WiFi Auto ReEnabler"
Give it a try, as it may well be the answer you've been looking for!
Sounds very promising indeed. Will get right on that.
Tried an app called Wifi Fixer, but that was a bust. Actually somehow managed to make things worse (for me, anyway).
Thanks for the tip. I'll be back with an update...
Ok, so "WiFiReEnabler" does actually do just that; re-associate with the network everytime the screen wakes. Unfortunately, what it doesn't do is stay resident.
It will let itself get killed by the system very easily, so I still have had a few times where I had to manually deactivate and activate wifi because WiFiReEnabler didn't have my back.
If the developer could make this a helper app/system service, this seems like it could be a decent workaround though.
I did however find an app called "Fix My WiFi" (£0.99 in Market) that seems to take care of the problem nicely, and quietly, so far (about 16 hours and counting, fingers crossed).
It also has some options to set different levels of aggressiveness, and notifications, which I like.
I also found a free app called "Wifi Reassociate" that seems to address the same issue. Haven't gotten around to trying it yet, as Fix My Wifi still seems to be doing its job.
Still, a tip for anyone with the same problem.
With that (hopefully) outta the way, I'm off to celebrate the anniversary of my birth.
Be well, friends.

Mobile Network Traffic despite WLAN connected

Hi,
when my HOX is lying near by PC Speakers, i can hear Internet Traffic over EDGE/UMTS excatly all 3 Minutes. (I hope u can understand what i mean)
I´m wondering about that bescause WIFI is active and connected, and i never had this with my DHD.
Due to optimizing Battery life, i disable mobile Network manually when i´m at home and have WIFI connected.
I use ARHD 9.1.0 with stock Kernel and EQS + APM + %Batterycircle + Autobrighness by jotha.
Baseband: 2.1204.135.20
Build; 2.17.401.2 CL89015
Any Ideas whats generating this traffic and why the HOX don´t use WIFI for that?
its normal gsm traffic. like if somebody sent you an sms, you would hear that sound. not sure why it didn't do it with dhd and now does with hox, but either way, shielded speakers are there to solve that problem. as for adapting your current speakers to shield them, not sure if its possible or not though.

Thanks for your Answer, but i don´t hear that Traffic if mobile Network is disabled, so i thinkt it can´t be "normal GSM Traffic".
oh i see what you mean..
might be network location services?
settings>location>google's location service.
i know the location services use wifi as well, but it might use mobile network in conjuction even if connected to wifi.. try disable that and see if it continues.

try download osmonitor, might be other apps more specific that can help, but osmonitor should do the trick i hope.
set your screen not to turn off, just for ease..
goto the connections tab, process tab will also be useful and watch it until the noise happens. you're looking for either a process, that jumps to the top of the list when the sound happens (spike in cpu usage), and then does it every time the sound happens, or a connection, that ISN'T your local or external wifi ip address, but also has similar behaviour, ie the connection is created when the sound occurs, and is then gone a minute later.. (the connection should show an app name)
if you find an app that looks like it could be causing it, then try to uninstall it temporarily to see if it fixes the issue. if it does fix the problem, the next step would be to contact the developer of that app to request a fix for it. it could however be a system process causing the problem.
failing the above, you could try the same sort of diagnostics, but with logcat instead. i don't actually know how to initiate logcat, i'm sure a google will tell you how though.
Thanks again! (i´ll hit the Button )
Okay, got that app installed.
Unfortunately the Sound DOES NOT appear all 3 Minutes when the Display is on.
When it starts and i unlock my screen i cant see any new entries in the Connectionstab.
Processes the same, but "Android System" shortly came on Top. (maybe the Display Unlock is the Reason for that?)
BTW: Why i got 2 permanent open Connections?
1. Google Bookmark-Sync (Whois -> Google)
2. Downloadmanager (Whois -> "The New York Internet Company")
Not idea what that could be.

you should be able to set the display to never turn off in settings>display and gestures
i don't think it'll be very easy if even possible to find it if the screens off (the spike would only be there for a second or 2, by the time it's unlocked etc it will have disappeared)
the other connections, first one is probably the google account sync, and not sure about download manager, maybe something got stuck, you could try clearing data for the download app, but to be honest i doubt that they're any problem anyway so probably nothing to worry about
edit: the download manager bit judging by the whois could be an app relating to that? do you have anything similarly named installed?

This is crazy - when the screen is on, the sound isnt audible. It only happens when the screen is off.
In the Connections Tab is only one Connection without my WiFi-IP, and whois shows me its a DNS Server from my Carrier (vodafone).
In the Process Tab i can see that "System" comes up on Top for ca 2 seconds, further no action.
The 2 Connections which stays established:
Clearing the Donwloadmanager Data was a Success... Thanx again.
The Connection to Google from "Google Bookmark-Sync" is still there. Gmail Sync is deactivated in accounts.
I think i´ll give it up and live with it

How to disable Wi-fi completely?

I want to use my old S4 Mini as a Bitcoin wallet. The problem is that I need to completely disable all wireless communications (GSM/Wi-fi/3G) for that.
Is this possible on the stock rom? I know I can just turn on airplane mode and remove the sim-card, but I saw apps turning on Wi-fi all by themselves, so that doesnt feel safe enough. Is there a better method?
Also, if someone is willing to develop a custom ROM for me, which completely strips everything that has to do with wireless, Im willing to pay for that.
Which apps are there which turn on wifi by themselves without asking for permission??
If you have root you could manually break your wifi or anything else by deleting the appropriate files/libs in the system folder.

[Guide] Enable working GPS Change no Rubber banding

This guide is for fixing a GPS Problem when attempting to use spoofing apps, in particular games that require your actual location.
For Example Pokemon GO among others, over time the original exploit to mock location was patched by certain companies when playing their games so now the only reliable way to do this is with root (for several reasons).
So Even with apps like GPS Joystick I found at times the real location was still getting acquired, I attempted to manually disable location services, using the built in features like "AGPS-Reset" still the actual GPS would lock on (obviously not as much in larger buildings) still I wanted to go outside and only mocking location be seen by the apps/games with no actual location working
I figured it out and thought I would share
First things first, You MUST be rooted. If you do not have root and own a V30 variant their are guides to convert and root.
It doesn't work without it, don't ask
For other phone models your mileage may vary (we are looking for a file "gps.conf")
Second, MAKE A BACKUP of the files that will be changed later, if you do not. Then you will most likely have to re-flash or have non-functional GPS and if you do need it you would be boned.
Third, You will need a few tools Ex. ( Terminal Emulator, Systemize [Masgik Module] , GPS Spoofing app I personally use the GPS Joystick Pokemon GO, Root file Explorer of some sort, the game of choice, and a system app or service disabler, like Titanium backup etc)
Now to the fun stuff
Make a backup of /vendor/etc/gps.conf
Install spoofing app (if equipped generate new name for GPS app and then delete the original)
After backing up gps.conf to SD or through adb, delete the original gps.conf in a root file manager then create a blank file in the same location (/vendor/etc) named gps.conf
In effect you just replaced the original with a blank copy, you could manually delete the contents as well but that's more work.
use the appropriate app disabler and disable anything with GNSS, location services, Qualcomm IZAT, Fused Location and anything else that is location service related
Open Terminal Emulator
type in "su"
grant su permissions if asked, make sure you have a # in the prompt
type in "systemize" (Gotten from magisk module download)
convert GPS spoofing app or generated app to a priv-app in the system (It cant be just /system/app)
then exit the systemize app and type "exit" a few times to close the terminal
Make sure when you do change the GPS settings in the actual android menu that you choose GPS only and that WiFi and Bluetooth settings are unchecked, obviously ensure the main GPS switch is enabled but that the rest aside from GPS only is not checked and or enabled
Then reboot your phone THIS IS A REQUIREMENT, for several reasons, it actually disables the location related services as well as the GPS via the gps.conf file and will also make your new spoofing app a priv-system app and it will appear
By now you should have location services aforementioned disabled, gps.conf blank, settings to GPS only with no other location "extras", a systemized gps spoof app. From here i disabled indirect mocking in the spoofing app, make sure System mode IS enabled AGPS-reset isn't needed and being we disabled location services manually, I suppose you could un-check that too but i left it checked
I modified the walk speed to the limits of the game I play, rebooted one more and its a safe idea to double check everything is set correctly
You DO NOT need to add the said mocking app to Developer Mock locations as it is a system app and some spoofer(s) offer that mode after making it an system app
At the end of the day you will now have a GPS Mocking app running where you can set your location and play without ever having the real location ping and rubber-banding you or otherwise messing up the whole concept of spoofing the GPS
As a disclaimer the GPS is a safety feature but some would rather not be tracked so this can technically work this way too
Some may ask well if you are just turning off GPS can't you just turn off the switch in Location Settings, that does not work as GPS technically has to be on for the spoofing app to function. Deleting gps.conf vs making a blank file causes the spoofing app to state the GPS isn't on (even if the on/off switch is toggled under the Phone Settings)
To reverse simply restore the original gps.conf to "/vendor/etc" (You did make a backup? Right)
re-enable the previously disabled location related services
reboot the phone
and if you'd like you can tick the gps and networks, WiFi, Bluetooth scanning and qualcomm IZAT option
or go with just GPS
either case this should enable the real location, I always test with a weather app
If you play Pokemon GO,Adventure Sync doesn't work (while location services disabled/frozen) I suspect because one of the "Location Services" Google Fit Depends on, however being you can walk as much as you want its a mute point, if you want Adventure sync back you have to reverse the process
Anyway this is what I have come up with, it works for me, after its tested by others, I am planning on writing a app that does this all in one shot. For now here is the manual way
Have Fun, Hope it works
If you have any questions or modifications to the post I am open to suggestions
If their is an easier way or something I missed or could Improve on, again comments are welcome
Last thing This technically violates TOS for some games and is increasingly hard to successfully pull off, so try your best to use every tool available to hide both the GPS spoofer and root from said games, don't teleport to far without waiting the proper amount of time before running the game , read up on the walking limits or how the game works if needed to fine tune everything
Just quick question. Do we still need to downgrade google play service boss? Something like 12.6.85 version.
thank u so much i was having this issue for a long time and i was planning to buy a gps jammer just so i can fix this issue , this is worked very well thank u again ^^
Thanks man you're the best!
I'm about to try this guide on my V30 with Oreo... did you ever make the app you mentioned that would do all this automatically??

I just tried a month ago and i never downgraded google services, in fact I read the newer updates to pokemon look for that, my origional instructions stated to disable fuse locations etc, now you don't need to do that just two things, well maby 3, make sure your using magisk and hide root from pokrmon go, under gps locations settings set to use gps only and change the gps.conf file as instructed, if poke gives OS incompstable warnings know that it will browse both your sd and internal card looking for files folders and even some other apps thats known to utalize root, i commented on this to another user on the last page of the thread, also someone else make another guide based on my findings, ive commented there as well, you can also look at reddit as i found at least a partial lidt of things the game looks for, being they update all the time like with anything else its a cat and mouse game, the only reason this works is because were changing a file in android that prevents the gps from working without totally disabling it, doing the latter flags in pokemon, the eevs of the game cant patch this as gps comes from android itself and not a app or utility but it would be just as easy for them to look for a 0 k (size) gps file and if thst matched well then it would be game over for this fix, luckly tho this fix isnt super popular so its stayed under their radar
Hey, Doesn't smali patcher achieve the same outcome with a shorter process?
In reguard to the smali patcher, to be honest I have no idea, ive seen several references to it sinse folks started commenting on my idea, things get developed all the time, i dont recall having that as an option when I wrote all this or id have gone for a quick fix myself, if the patcher somehow disables the gps itself then its likely it works in a similar fashion, as the heart of my fix really depends on the gos file, and of course some spoofing app and root, all id say is try and see, if the patch works and its less leg work for you then go for it, I would, i just didnt have anything else when i wrote the steps out
Great, just what i was searching for!
That is really great, i've spent today searching for a way to deactivate the gps, i have a sony xperia z3c which is used just for pokemon. I found that gps.conf file shortly after i started having a nose around the filesystem. The only think i actually tried so far was disable the location service & the fused locations, after which the GPS joystick (as a system app) seemed to stop functioning. Incidentally, my gps.conf is in > system > etc
So thanks for this info, you have saved me from a lot of messing about.
Just to update, the gps.conf was in 2 location on the xperia z3c, the top etc folder and in system/etc. so did both.
Again the gps joystick would not work after i froze the location service and the fused locations, as it turns out they both have to be present for it to work.
Despite that, it looks to be working ok.
No, a while later it did start doing it again, much less though.
Think ive sorted it now though. using an app called System2, i found the other services that are related to the location service, then froze 4 of them. I also deleted this one file that was somewhere within the in the dev folder in another folder called qmux_gps. it wouldnt let me copy it, but i did manage to delete it (wreckless i know). Since then everything is working great, for about 5 hours so far

If so, then how exactly can i do that? if possible with exact instruction or guide to it..
Thanks ahead..

For many reasons.. They changed it in some very bad way for my opinion.. like the auto turning on WiFi by some apps, like some apps that don't have widgets, the call recording issue and many more very annoying unreasonable changes they did on A10 on.. saw also they only allow FBE encryption instead of FDE which is much better [That i can see for huge 128, 256 or maybe 512 Gigs Storages but still it should be up to the user decision not forcing]
So you say it's completely impossible? even if flash universal / rooted ROM? no way at all?! cause man those are really annoying stuff especially to the tech Pros and/or savvy's like us, and i know that since i saw many threads and posts in other forums about those issues too.. Maybe some giving up or thinking it's advancements, but really, maybe big money involved, espionage, and many more possible reasons they doing it.. It's bad, really bad..
* BTW sorry for the multiplication threads didn't knew it's SPAMing and not very involved it forums world..

To be honest I don't understand none of your points.
1. Wifi can be still turned on by apps, you just need to enable the permission (allow always vs. allow only when app is running in foreground).
2. Call recording is working in regions where it's not forbidden by privacy laws.
3. FBE is much better because it allows you to start the phone with basic service without using the password. Not sure why do you consider FDE to be superior.
4. Well, you can try to build your own Android 7 ROM from old sources, but you're going to have a fun time adapting to vendor partition/proprietary files created for Android 10 or 11. Also using several years old code which is not supported or patched anymore is quite interesting approach to security.

Maybe it's regional or SROMs based issue, but the vendor of the app said it's not allowed on Android 10 and on, and i did confirmed the permission to turn on WiFi automatically, but maybe there's some other settings that i missed and that guy was wrong, i'd love if you can show how to enable it globally and/or to just the auto file sync i use, cause i tried many times even with manual syncing [by clicking the Sync button when WiFi is off, it started and turn it off automatically on Android 7.0.. Of course also for time interval based sync]..

Hi.. Thanks for your reply.. i did that already before, but still it doesn't work.. i use FolderSync, that currently in my old Android 7.0 device, does syncing when i click Sync from within the app, while i was totally offline [Data and Wifi] so it turned on the Wifi connection [Specific home network], and also on Scheduled i inserted the Allowed Networks SSID [Which BTW when i turn on WiFi manually and it does sync it with GDrive, it say on top 'Unknown SSID' for case it matters {Had the feeling that it very much does}], I also switced it on in Data and WiFI limit it does on that Security app, which i guess is kind of firewall, and BTW i remember like 5-6 years ago i had the Lenovo A8 "Golden Worrier" has that same kind of Security app built in with firewall and all that, but still manually at least, as i checked, it doesn't turn on the Wifi via FolderSync app.. Got a strong feeling it's due to that Unknown SSID stuff or that Security app.. Could it be?..

FolderSync doesn't turn Wifi On automatically, this feature seems to be missing in the app. But I've just tested with Tasker and it is able to turn Wifi On and Off, so it's not a problem of Android version.
For Allowed SSID feature in FolderSync you must enable permanent location access.
Btw. I see no point in turning Wifi Off at any point, it uses so little power that there is next to none benefit in doing it. If you insist on some kind of automation, use Tasker in a fully controlled manner.

Well your first argument is actually not tru, FolderSync does turns on Wifi automatically as i do for like 4 years with my older Galaxy s6 [Great dev BTW, Samsung's first 64 bit device i thinks] running now Android 7.0, and also the other day and im sure if ill try this right now it will actually turning on WiFi from off mode and also automatically closed it when done syncing, but no matter what i did it doesn't doing it on the XM10T5G, and it both updated to the latest FolderSync version the one with those tiles.. so it must be something with the operation system.. again it's some kind of Andro/MIUI OS so it has to do with one of them..
About the SSID, i did confirmed the location access all the time [not just when it's used] on the Security app, is there any other place that i should enable location or any other settings that may be relating to this?..
And really? you don't see the point in using Wifi? It's much more faster, secure, and reliable than data.. of course i don't care if it'll be 4G or 5G even better to sync, but obviously not any connection, but thanks for the Tasker Tip, i'll try that.. i've heared that somewhere i think from the gut of FolderSync..
And BTW, the call recording is legal in my country, so i did also many years but here only after trying several apps i found Cube ACR working good.. And also, some apps ask you if you confirm that Call recording is legal in your country but of course if you flash custom or different ROM, the system obviously can never tell..
Peace..

I see no point in turning wifi OFF.
Anyway, good luck finding/building your perfect Andoid 7 ROM.

Again security and energy reasons.. Think about it..
Anyway i barely know how to flash ROM, so i'm very far from building a custom one.. But at start you said it's impossible to install / flash an older Android ROM to it [XM10T5G], so you say it's possible with custom ROM?

Again - not possible, such ROM doesn't exist.
