[APP] Location Cache Viewer/Blocker [ROOT] v0.6 - Android Apps and Games

Simple app that lets you see what locations have been cached on your android device.
You can take a look at them in a list (text) and on map.
Root is required to read and delete the location cache!
Block Cache will change permissions on the file so the LocationProvider can't write the files back to disk.
Changelog
v0.2
- blocking (chattr)
- delete files
v0.3
- blocking for all devices with busybox installed
- fix for "no data"
v0.4
- gpx export
- fix force close on map
v0.5
- fix for another FC
v0.6
- maps shows accuracy
- clean ups and bugfixes
FAQ
Can I block the cache without root?
Yes, disable "Use wireless networks" under "Location & Security settings"
But you have to live with a slower location lock on maps.
Showing Map does not work (Force close)?
You should update your ROM/GApps
Your device has a buggy Google Maps Library installed

I see this same smile on google's face since they can spy on anyone...not just their spouses.

why does the app need full internet access?

for the map visualisation i would guess

I wanted to code it during this weekend... looks very nice to me, especially the map mode!

No Data until 9th of March only
App is working fine, and shows correct information, but only until 9th of March, no data logged afterwards (which i like).
Is this based on the fact that using Network for Location is disabled? I am sure it is.
What about GPS data? Where could this be stored?
BTW, blocking the kernel in Droidwall should help a bit, as it tries to send data to Google Analytics!
Cheers
Alex

Internet is only used for the map tiles
If you have disabled "use wireless networks" under Location no data should be cached.
There is no cache for gps locks.

Thank you for this app. Saves me the trouble messing around with python scripts.

Thanks for this, works great on my Dinc running CM7.

Wow, not a single record on my Desire!
*ifeelsafenow*

I'm scare....

mine says no data found, which I think is hard to believe because i have use wireless networks enabled in location services....
hmmm

Thank you!
I've been traveling this week, the info is.....startlingly scary, and fascinating.
Every Android user should install this!

No data??
No data in wifi or cell? Could it be because of link2sd??

Nice app, good for awareness. Everyone should opt-out of the Google location sharing if they are concerned about being tracked. They ask you regarding this

Mixed feelings about this.
This scares the **** out of me and on the other hand it's cool.

Wouldn't be good if we could delete the "culprit" files? Which are they? Is it easy to add such a feature in the app, or it will need s-off?

The files are "/data/data/com.google.android.location/files/cache.wifi" and "/data/data/com.google.android.location/files/cache.cell".
Just disable "Use wireless networks" under Settings -> Location & security and be happy... Google makes it your choice to store these information. If you don't want it just disable it.

Market Autoupdate Bulk Toggle app is now on the Market! (v1.2.1 11/8)

We just released an app to the Market for rooted devices running Froyo that enables quick and easy toggling on and off of automatic updates for all of your installed Market apps (aside from system apps that update via the Market).
Search for "market autoupdate" on the Android Market and try it out now!
Let us know what you think of it. Some people mentioned they would be interested to see widget support for this. If enough people want a widget, we'll consider adding widget support to this app!
v1.1 adds a progress spinner and has some internal changes.
v1.1.1 fixes a crash that occurs when trying to click the same button twice. It also fixes an issue that caused the app not to work on high memory devices.
v1.2 fixes a problem where the app would not work on devices without a sqlite3 binary (which includes most rooted stock ROMs that I didn't account for).
v1.2.1 adds a new icon.
EDIT:
bartito requested a screenshot, although there isn't much to see

Sorry, but my app is not to blame.
See this post.
so dose this turn on/off autoupdate feature? will you still see updates? im also curious about the update all feature, is that disabled?
Awesome work, defo will be useful. Wish I'd had it a month ago then I'd be £30 better off due to roaming auto update fun times
hi,
good work man!
only a question (not a bug)
is possible to make a option in your program to enable autoupdate
in / data applications and to disable for / system applications?
Great app!
It would be great if it could be integrated with Tasker.

EXACTLY what I just logged in to say! I'd love to be able to automatically turn off market autoupdates when I'm not connected to wifi (there's no way I'd remember to manually turn it on and off all the time!), but I imagine there needs to be some additional functionality built into this app first to allow interaction via Tasker?
Hi eddieringle,
really nice app ! A must have tool !
But one request: can you make a version that can disable auto-update for all apps including sys-apps ?
Greats hawkeye
nice apps like it

We're still looking into why it doesn't work on system applications. When we figure that out, we'll update the application right away.
On another note, 1.2 includes it's own sqlite3 binary, so most of the people who had trouble getting it working should find that it works for them now.
Awesome. Thanks! I was looking for something like this =]
Personally, I'd rather see a list of installed apps with a checkbox indicating Autoupdate status so I can quickly run down my list of apps (perhaps with a tab separating system from installed apps) and check/uncheck Autoupdate for each one. Currently, you have to go into each app separately to do this, which is a major pain... Hope this can be considered for a future update?
I went to slide me and it download but wouldn't install and I try to download it in the Android Market, it download but it say "installation error unknown reason - 18" so I can't install... any help? I'm using an Evo rooted with Clockwork recovery.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Great app!!! It would be nice to be able to choose what to update though, all in 1 simple list, just as it was previously mentioned. Also, the ability to turn off auto-updating when roaming would be useful too (however I do have my phone set to disable data altogether when I'm roaming, it might be useful for others).
keep up the great work!
Wonderful little app, thanks!
Doesn't it work on Android 2.1?
Thanks for your app

[App] Network Tools

Hi!
I have created a new application, Network Tools.
Basic idea of this app is periodic monitoring of websites, servers, routers, surveillance systems, etc. After a specified period of time the resource is checked, in case of failure user will get a warning. Such control will allow you to respond quickly to encountered problems.
You can add new resource to monitoring list, select the type and time interval between checks. At any time you can change the settings or manually check for a specific host. The corresponding commands are available on the context menu.
App contains additional tools: whois, ping and traceroute, for diagnosing network problems. For these commands there are implemented lists of previously entered addresses, so user does not need to retype them again.
Free, no ads.

Great Work!!!
Please don't take this as anything against the app, but if any admin actually relies on an app like this as the only monitoring solution for critical 24/7 servers, they should be dragged behind the woodshed and paddled. It has NOTHING to do with the app, rather the fact that mobile networks are simply not 100% viable.
That said, when there are issues (power, network etc..) with other monitoring systems, this is a FANTASTIC option. This will be part of my Android install kit forever.
I have a couple of requests:
1. A scrollable widget that shows the last result for each server/test would be cool. I will give you a full screen on my phone! ;-)
2. I need to test specific services: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH. Additional service options and maybe an option to manually define ports/services would be really nice. Customers of mine that have security camera systems using a DVR often forward random ports for external access to the DVR and it would add "peace of mind" for them to be able to see that their security system is up and running.

Sure, nobody says about critical servers monitoring.
In actual app version you can use Generic TCP option with URL like http://site.com:3128, or HTTP Get option with fully qualified URL to make some tests. I understand, this is not complete test of concrete service, and have plans to add more to my app.
Now I'm busy with another private application, but, I hope, this is not forever.
By the way, you say about test services like HTTP, FTP or SSH. What exactly do you think should make the application? Any ideas are welcome.
very cool app thanks mate.
Empty message, sorry
Excellent app.. just what I was after. Thank you!

Good effort. I am thinking of buying a ps100 -if I can find one under 30$- to use as an activity tracker and as a heart rate monitor with my galaxy s4 , when I workout.
I was wondering how you capture the data. Do you think there is possibility to invoke a vibration or led light when receiving a call or sms?
Hallo,
With the new Version on Google Play Store, you have all what you want.
Your pulsense become a notify when a call is incoming or when sms/WhatsApp etc have a notification. Look at the play store, there i write all the Features of MyPS.
Can your app be used to update firmware on the ps100?
MyPS can not update firmware. This procedure is only reserved original software. (Guarantee)
Ok. I guess I have to update first and then use your app. Thank you.

Do you plan to make use of gps data from phone? Maybe an exercise mode where it collects both heart rate data and gps in one file and displays basic info on the app while e.g. running (speed,heart rate, time).
If there is anything i can do to help with that please tell me.
Hello.
GPS support, I will not install now. Maybe if I have enough time ...
When you have your smartphone anyway this is a running app is a better choice.
Hi, I have installed your app for my father as it is so much more easy to controll than the Epson app, but if I try to go into the details of the sleep section it gives an error saying unfortunately myps has stopped responding and then the app closes. Any idea what the problem could be? Also I am looking forward to your next update, is there one due? thank you
I've just bought a ps100 and am looking at the sync options with Google Fit. I have two questions.
1. Do I need to keep MyPS open for real time syncing? I assume that when I close the app that syncing stops.
2. I have a Sony Smartwatch 3 which inputs steps into Google Fit. If I enable MyPS step sync will I get duplicate step counts or does Fit merge the data?
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA-Developers mobile app
To 1. No, it is enough to have the auto download enabled in the settings. When MyPS gets the data from the PS-100, they are then passed to the Google Fit sync manager. This fixes the upload to Google-Fit. In the Android settings, under Account / Google, there is a point for Google-Fit. This must be activated, otherwise no data will be sent to Google Fit.
To 2. Unfortunately, I can not say exactly, as I google fit and the Pulsense no longer use. I think it is not counted twice

CM12 Privacy Guard - WiFi Scan for Location always active?

As no one in the Q&A forum could give me an answer, maybe here someone knows what's going on "under the hood".
Privacy Guard tells me that location is constantly active using Wi-Fi scan with the settings app although I've Wi-Fi turned off:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That is annoying as first I do not want my location constantly monitored and second this maybe also is not "battery friendly".
Anyone knows what's going on here exactly? Is it true what privacy guard tells me?
On CM11 the settings app was not constantly monitoring the location using Wi-Fi when Wi-Fi was turned off.
First have you gone to main setting>wifi>setting button>advanced>scanning always available and make sure its disabled. This is one of those crappy things google.just cant help.itself.not slipping i the and tries to cover it with goog.intentions which are questionable. It purposely buries it way down in setting even those that want to be sure its off may have trouble finding. Also if you look at.the wording its supposedly there to help other apps have your location but also adds "and for other purposes". Which in legaleeze means wide open and to google means we are going to log all the info we can to use for our profit.
Anyways make sure that is off first and formost. After that I will include someother info below to consider and just some FYI stuff you may or maynot be interested in.
I dont know what apks.you have loaded but I know if you have gapps installed there is a number of call home features built into it and if anyone knows how to.bypass things in android its google dev team. It is for this reason i deal.with the inconvenience of not having gapps. Choosing instead to side load or use fdroid and other alternatives for googles various apps. I duckduckgo for searchs. Privacy apk if I wanted to tweet or FB. Email I use a paid service but there are a jumber of free that do not log. I also keep things local and sync it with my pc so nothing is left on servers. You can even setup cloud storage in a way where it acts as a virtual drive and everyrhi g is encrypted while on the cloud but decrypts locally on the device so its seemless.on the users end.
Secondly even without any of these sort.of apps installed google has built in a quasi call back function into the kernel. Its main use is to identify when a data network connection is behind a captive.portal. The setting not accessable from the UI is global captive portal. Its what is the cause of the ! you may sometimes see on the signal bar animaton. Android gives you an option to disable it thru a terminal windohus by changing captive_portal_enable setting from 1 to 0. But interestingly enough its been found that even when set to disabled the system will still use the global captive portal entry regardless. Its setting is to client3.google.com IIRC.
The other issue is that if you have disabled captive portal you will lose the ability to save the config in wireless networks for any network that does not broadcast its ssid or any that is a captive portal which are basically all the commerical wifi such as starbucks book stores libraries etc.. See goggle wants all that info so they can map the worlds wifi network aps (you can now see one way they have found to use this with their up coming release of cellular service where one of its main features is to auto offload both data and calls to any open wifis it has access as they come in range. Thus dumpings its costs and load to.those other companies offering free wifi to its customers and the community)
Interestingly it only does this to wifi not cellular data even though it scans and indicates both with the "!".
The way to stop this is either change the global captive portal to loopback i.e. 127.0.0.0 or you can host a basic webpage your device.
You can do the same for the ntp service as well as it too calls out automatically regardless of.settings in the UI.
The other possibility of the location leak could be from someother app you may not have disabled network or location from that has a call home feature.
You could put a network scanner and log what ip and then see based on its owner to figure out the program.
Another idea is to run a firewall and creat a script to stop all of this kind of leaks. I would recommend AF+Wall.

Sorry I'm a bit late, not that active on xda these days. Could you try Changing the grid size in launcher settings.
In Germany many of us have prepaid plans that get charged every 28 days (4 weeks). Is it possible to add an option to reset the data usage plan every 28 days (starting on a custom day) ?
Great app for monitoring data usage, but crashing often... (when running in background, in settings)
Could you add a monthly plan from date to date (ex: from 15 to 14 next month, or choosing an among of days).
Hi,
nice app. I like this kind of apps - one target, no senseless cross-site functions.
One thing:
If the week starts (here in Germany with Monday) for the other days the last week data are shown for the whole day.
On Tuesday everything is fine - Wednesday to Sunday are clean.
