Hi,
it is possible to create pseudo devices on WM, Symbian and Android during an application installation? I will write a pseudo gps device and install it as normal application.
WM: it should be possible
Symbian: I think too
Android: mmm...I need root access to load an kernel module or ? Have signed apk (android packages) root access?
Ok, now I know it is impossible with official method to create an device during an apk installation.
But Android has a LocationProvider:

Hi,
I am trying to hook OS APIs, with windows, this could B achived using assembler and detours/trampoline method.
On windows OS each process has it's own address space and hooking a method affect a specific process.
I am trying to achive the same using Android OS, few basic questions:
- Does the Android OS has a specialized address space for each process? I assume not, can this be verified?
- Is the default calling convention of the OS API is __stdcall ( I assume yes ), can this be verified ?
Any1 done such a thing before? any pointers will B appreciated.

Hi there,
I am a newbie in Android development. I was wondering if there is any generic way to temporarily root any android devices? Or does rooting depends upon manufacturer\Android version? I was able to root(via zergRush exploit) a Samsung handset which runs on Android 2.2, however it failed on other devices running on different version of Android. I am working on Windows 7 32 bit machine.
Please suggest.
I yout have compatible phone, you can use Farmaroot, it's one click apk, no need to use computer or cable.
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
According to the links given, it seems that the exploits(rooting) are processor\manufacturer dependent. I am into forensics, so installation of apk on the devices is not an option. Is there any published list of exploits for various Android devices? Please suggest.
You can root any device because you can upload and execute a blob but it's only possible to do this in /data/local/tmp folder. You can upload the exploit and make it executable and then let it crack android. Then you can upload su and install it permanently. Most likely the system is read-only so need elevated privilege.
Hello XDA,
Does anyone know of any development of booting an Android image from an Android phone, or any kind of sandboxing environment?
I know we can boot into a linux image. Surely we could do the same with an Android image - has anyone tried?
I'm one of those Barclays bank users who cannot user their apps due to rooting!
Thanks in advance!
Hi, just use rootcloak w/ Cydia or the corresponding Xposed Module
Dear all,
i am no developer. My knowledge of how android os even works is zero. I am but a simple android phone user. While using an android phone, I find myself wondering as to whether the stock/vanila android operating system can be modified such that it
1) has a termux-like terminal but with the capability of giving the user temporary root access something like in ubuntu
2) is possible to install it using a bootable flash disk instead of flashing only.
I hope that android developers can kindly let me know as to whether the above is possible or not.
With regards
Hello. I need to use some Android root functions but I don’t want to damage my Samsung S20 FE in any way or, as I found out, even erase its memory when installing some kind of bootloader.
As you probably notice, I am new to the advanced use of Android and I would like to know what are the ways to use Android root on a PC emulator. What programs are there and which ways are the most recent and safest?
If you're on Windows 11 then simply install WSA with Magisk
