So, this is a simple app to change your Android ID.
It is on Google Play for £4.99 (VAT included by Google, so will be more), so please buy it if you want, however it is attached for all XDA members to use free of charge!
This app uses the secure settings API to write the ANDROID_ID, and it grants itself the relevant permission using the package manager executable.
It has a backup function as well, as well as the ability to generate a random ID.
Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liamw.root.androididchanger.

What is the purpose for this? What does this actually do? What ID are you changing?

The ANDROID_ID that is a unique ID for all Android devices, which is null on some devices.

This app changes a unique ID, as liamwli explained -- Google uses it to identify your device. Since it may change upon installation of another ROM, you may want to revert to the previous ID to prevent several new entries cropping up on the Play Store device menu, for example (in the menu where your devices are listed whenever you (buy and) install an application or game). This tends to get a big mess over time with us OCD flashers, and this means you will have to find out by chance or elimination whatever device Google thinks you are currently on is the device you intend to install to.
EDIT: Oh, and Google's application copy protection scheme seems to partly rely on it, although there are not that many developers depending on this.

Does the Play Store rely on ANDROID_ID for app compatibility? If I change this, will I be able to download apps saying "Not compatible with your device"?

No, that is gathered from XML files on the device and is sent to the Google servers during setup.

Uses the Android API to write the secure setting. Needs to be a system app, which is why it needs root.

Doesn´t work on Nexus 7 (4.2.2.). Changed ID and success was confirmed, but after reboot old ID was still present.
So App is useless for now. Suggestion: inplement function to generate random (but valid) Android ID.

Well, the app tells me it´s recommended to make it a system app, but not neccessary. So I didn´t set it as a system app first, and it dind´t work.
I then converted it to a system app and it worked immediately. So thanks for your app!

Not all devices have the sqlite3 binary installed, so that's why I recommend installing it as a system app.

So how do you install something as a system/non-system app? I have three Chinese tablets that I need to "create" a unique Device ID as the manufacturer seemed to think it ok to flash all their units with the SAME ID? Are there any rules to picking an ID? What other tools besides SU do you need (i.e. BusyBox?)
Thanks!

If you have root, the app will prompt you to install it as a system app when it starts.
Check out the current device ID - it should follow the same pattern

OK, that sounds easy enough... I assume I should use the 2.0 apk and not the other two? Then just kind of pick one number different or whatever down the chain of the ID? Thanks for the help, I will give it a try!:good:

This is an app that changes what carrier name is diplayed in for example the lock screen and the status bar. It requires root because it modifies system files, and because it uses root it's potentially dangerous. Use it at your own risk, I'm not responsible if your device explodes in your face!
I had much trouble figuring out how to do this so I wanted to spare others the trouble by making this app. Please send me bug reports so I can fix any bugs you find.
Update1: Don't use any special characters because it will be used in an xml file so for example a double quote sign will break the file.
Update2: This will probably not work on the evo with stock rom and will not work with any rom that only shows what network you're connected to. This app only changes the carrier name wich is taken from your sim card. There are some roms that allows you to change this for example Cyanogenmod 6 where you can change so that it shows your spn.
Update3: I'm currently working on making this app work on all android devices by patching framework-res.apk
This app is also availble on the android market for $0.99, please consider buying the app it would make my face go

That probably means your status bar isn't showing the spn, what the app modifies. If you have a rom that allows you to change it to spn it would work if you can't, you'll just have to wait for an update.
yeah custom ROM, probably.
Thanks anyway I'll keep trying.
Worked like a charm ... thanks!

Description:
Ive started working on a tool to clean up after apps (inspired by this thread).
Nobody is perfect and android neither.
Apps you have already deleted sometimes leave data behind.
The system constantly creates logs, crash reports and debug files you don't really need.
The market leaves temporary files of downloaded apps behind.
Lets not go on here...
SD Maid is a universal file tool that helps you keep your device neat and tidy.

A detailed changelog can be found on Github and most update release posts also contain some explanation of what's new.
Bugs / Requests
Please use the issue tracker for any kind of bug reports or feature requests for both SD Maid stable & beta. I'll also discuss issues else where but usually a lot of helpful information gets lost if it's not organised, so I prefer the issue tracker .

It seems that the problem of files remaining on the device in /dbdata/databases after uninstalling the app is only existant on Samsung devices.
You can run the app, but there probably won't be anything to show on a non Samsung device.
Yea, thats what happened, all it said was that folder not found. Sorry I dont speak programming, just teck. And Im pretty sure it dosnt matter if I have a rooted phone but im guessing it wouldnt hurt to tell you that im running unrevoked forever on my HTC incredible (not like the app has to cater just me) but i could really use something like this. I put my phone to work like i do my laptop, (you would have to see it to get that)

SecDroid V 1.1 Beta
Created by x942
Released under GPLV2
PROJECT IS ON HIATUS
New project over here
Introduction
SecDroid hardens the android kernel by disable certain binaries that have internet access or can be used as an attack vector. Some of these are:
SSH
SSHD
Telnet
NC (net cat)
Ping
PM (Package Manager - Can't install apps via CLI/ADB)
ADBD (ADB is disabled until reboot)
And by securing the TCP Stack using Systctl (Until Next boot).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
More info
Why disable ADB and PM?
ADB and PM are both disabled to help prevent an attacker from being able to install apps via the command line or adb shell. Both of these are potential attack vectors. You can install apps via the playstore and GUI

x942 - Thanks for letting me know this is in the works - looks really promising. With things like SSH/SSHD being disabled, will apps (like Connectbot) still work, allowing for SSH/SSHD on a per app basis?
Does this just disable these things during the current running session?
IE after rebooting it does everything go back to normal?
If not is there a way to enable them again?
I have to assume that it's a good thing if the application wasn't able to find any of the noted application to harden.

Sadly no. The apps are disabled by removing their permisions to execute (chmod 000). This means no one can run it. I suppose I could have it set to only allow Connectbot to run it based on UID or something. But something like Droidwall or AFWall+ is better suited for that. I am planning to add in a switch for each item. So you could for example leave ssh enabled but disabled everything else.

Correct. I have tested on CM9/10/10.1 and AOKP on both of these if it can't find anything then they aren't present in the system. Stock roms may be different. All AOSP should all be the same though.

Are these vulnerabilities dependent upon whether USB debugging is enabled or disabled?
...and will this interfere with Apps that require USB debuggin enabled such as Titanium Backup and Gemini Apps manager.

The only vulnerabilities dependant on USB Debugging is Kos' p2p-adb. The rest prevent network (remote) attacks. Some of which could be used over ADB but don't depend on it (installing malware). I have not tested with TB but it may break it. I am trying to make individual on/off switches for each option so you can only disable what you want to and leave the rest alone
I have posted a Play Store link now too!

No, you are not "safe". All the things are not located in system/xbin, but in system/bin! So the pathes which the app checks are wrong...
Under system/xbin are many many links, but the real "files" are located elsewhere! So the dev should chance his app so that it can check the right locations

Oops looks like I messed up and uploaded the wrong version I will fix this. Originally it did use xbin and also disabled more things (bluetooth and NFC) but I corrected this as most users don't want those disabled. I will post the proper APK With the proper paths.

I can include these I will do so in a future update.
Fixed the issue. It doesn't give any errors on CM10/10.1 on my N4. Path is now /system/bin for the binaries that are there and xbin is only used for a couple binaries that are only in that folder.
Also moved repo to github as google code is annoying. Update also pushed to Play Store.
i have an app installed (from apk file, not google play).
recently i got an updated version of the application (another apk file).
is there ANY way of installing the new version next to old one without overwritting it?
i need to use both versions at the same time.
Why use 2 versions? If its the same app, it will do the same thing as the old one.

Are you trying to have simultaneous porn pix slideshows or films running concurrently?LOL
JK sounds like youre doing a comparison of versions....but of what?
You aint special.
i have an app that i am using for watching tv from my satellite platform provider.
they released an updated version of they software with new functionality but they took away others. i would like to use new things but also still have an access to old functions.
but excluding the duscussion if is it reasonable or not...
can it be done? and how?

Hi,
Backup it with titaniumbackup first, then install new version.
If updated app is not working, just restore the old one.

Thats an answer to a totally different question.

OP i would try renaming the apk .
jje
the files have different name.
Probably they have the same signature or ID or whatever identifies it in Google Play.
Is there any way of changing the parameter identifying the app?

Thank you.
So, I got as far as..... decompiling the app
I am not completely across with programming but I have no clue what I should do next Well... I've never played in programming for android and haven't played in modding or any stuff like that.
SO, Can you guide me what I should do next?
What is activity folder name and where is it stored?
Which entries in smali files are activity paths?
I'll understand if you won't help anymore as it may be too much to go through... honestly, no worries...
This is a link to the app
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gtcazc58aqz8j7y/com.adb.android.app.iti-1.apk
It is a free app. The only thing is that it can be downloaded from Polish Google Play only, hope I haven't broke any xda rulez now
Any help is appreciated...
Here you go...just install this alongside the original
https://www.dropbox.com/s/r07l6u06q4dow1d/iti.apk

Sorry for my late...
thanks to bjbinc for supporting you with the mod...
Good luck
I'm trying to do the same thing. With real racing 3. I have an older version that I like a lot for its particular features, plus the latest Ferrari updated version.
I want to have both on my phone. Any way? Also, they have the same exact com.r3 folders, can the modified apk use different data folders?
Thank you for all your help

Sorry for the hurried response.
There are a handful of reasons why app is incompatible.
1) android version - some apps are not compatible with android versions .updating your android version will work .
2)hardware -let's say that I want to shoot a 360 panorama. But my device has no gyromerter ,so I may get incompatible or they may let me download but the app won't work perfectly.
3)geo restrictions- some apps cannot be installed in some country or the app hasn't been released yet for that country. Enabling proxy and changing your location may or may not work.
Now for by " already did it " you mean you already installed then good for you.
But keep in mind that cm11=KitKat that is android4.4.x
Using cm11 don't mean that your device is updated there is still cm12/12.1(lollipop) cm13(marshmallow).
If you want more help cite the app you want installed and I'll go over the device requirement.
PS:if the problem is geo restrictions ,then using apps like tunnelbear,market helper and searching for the app in chrome store may help
