Hi to all,XDA developers !
i'm curious to make app that will not be seen by user in his/her mobile.. that would start on Boot. and will not be visible in android uninstall list as well !!
need help of you guys...
Regards,
Piyush
If you install it in /system/app/
it shouldn't be visible in 3rd party uninstallers.
If you use Settings->Applications->Manage it's still visible.
how to hide it in "If you use Settings->Applications->Manage " ?
any trick ?
Are you trying to write some kind of malware?

Not that intention ! want to us it for 1app.
This seems pretty shady. I don't see why you would need to hide the application from the user's Application List.
...and you want it to run on boot? Hmm...
malware .. spyware .. **** lol ..
nope... ne idea ?
i got solution.....
How did you manage it?
I have an App which I'm wanting to do the same with (LocatorPro - to find phone if stolen)

Regardless of what you intended on producing...I don't understand why NOBODY has actually given you a proper answer.
I think you asked a critically smart question...as I am a new member...I joined this forum ONLY because I was looking for the answer to this question.
I am not a developer (even though I would love to learn)... but I need to know how to discreetly add apps.
The Story:
I have installed a spy app on another phone of mine. (SmsBox)
I need to hide that software completley from the list of apps AND from the "Manage Applications" list in the settings.
I want it to run in the background constantly and do what it already does.
IF someone has a solution for me...(or gets an idea on producing a new app with this feature)...please let me know.
(Since I don't know how often I will be visiting this site...Please email me at : [email protected]
Thanks!
I found this thread also looking for some way to hide (maybe disguise and lock) locator apps.
I think it would be really useful to hide anti thieves apps. They're almost useless if anybody can just take a look at the apps list and throw em away.
I've been looking for an app with that feature (among others) with no luck (Watchdroid the closest, but can be removed along its disguise and password protection).
So... any advice?
Thanks
You could write a text-mode application and just compile as a bare executable (not an apk). Just add that to your startup script (does android use init.d?), and it will be invisible to most people. You'll need root, most likely. (might be able to push over adb, then run via shell. Not sure what the permissions are on some things).

Hello piyushnp,
Would you like share your solution with us?
Thank you!

Avast anti-theft can be hidden from launcher, disguised in settings and survive a factory default wipe on a rooted phone.
Hi everybody,
I installed Visidon applock on TF and it seems to work allright.
I found it >>here<<
I don't know what is the real security level :
putting medium security level, a simple photograph of mine opens apps
putting high level, only my face seems to work.
Is there twins in the forum?

Why? It concerns this app and TF. It's just to ensure its compatibility with TF, no?
I've found a new way to BLOCK ANY permission for android applications! Successfully tested denial on few different kind of permissions!
It's a great news for me, and prossibly to any of you too.
The application will be completely native except user interaction part (GUI), so lightning fast, and will have access virtually to any permission granted by apk itself. There will be much logic included to ease of use for unexperienced users, but also the advanced mode which will reveal all the system level functions/data. Advanced iptables control will probably be included also at the later development stages.
Any developer experienced with NDK + SDK is kindly asked to contact me.
PS. This thread WILL be the thread for the application itself. I expect to make first alpha's in two months or earlier.

Of course. So let it stay at pm as you already started . We'll move here depending on the case .
I am interested but I am not a developer.
The question is - did you check apps behavior (reaction) on permission denial?
I get FC for some software with this tool market.android.com/details?id=com.stericson.permissions&hl=en

I cannot check this on every app available (for obvious reasons), but I suppose most of them will work. We'll see after first alpha, I'll check it on my own app set which is rather big (the main reason LBE and PDroid buth fails - too much CPU overhead).
UPDATE: Removing unreliable info. Shame on me for reposting smth before fact checking.
Privacy Blocker is the app with patching apk method, not the Stericson' one.
frsp2 said:
I've read somewhere on local forum that com.stericson.permissions application just changes manifest and reinstall apk with patched one.
This info is not mine so I can't prove or disclaim it at this time.
Can you confirm that info is correct and your method is totally different?

As far as I know, neither the app you describe, neither mine will not change anything in apk. I think it was just a rumour.
Could you please comment on this app too

What app?
Privacy blocker should not run in background - it patches apk content.
Modified files:
classes.dex
MANIFEST.MF
MYKEY.RSA
MYKEY.SF
I see no reason to drain battery here.

Nice chat guys, but first of all, I just told that neither permissions denied nor mine app will change the apk, so asking me about commenting such app is quite inaprioriate, and second, there are two threads about LBE wher even I said my opinion about it, so please, go there and read .

I am asking because of the same software niche not because of the same principle of operation. If your application solves the same task/problem with less overhead - that's good. We'll see.
BTW is your app must be run in background all the time?
If yes what will be the effect if your program terminates on error or is closed by external application?

Only effect it would cause is no GUI, but denial still working. GUI can be simply restarted (or restarted automatically).

Sehr gut! This is the right way to go.
Also is your future app support real-time notification of permission requests?

Probably not. I know it's a good thing, but it has it's flaws too. We'll see later.

Yes sir, Why not..??
Your wish will come true after your command. Type "I want Firewall" in Google search then you will have it..
Buddy, Don't bother like this to others. Request can be done but not Order.
I understand you are not asking in such way but you can use "Please" word atleast. Whole line will change to Request.

What you're asking is Droidwall or its fork AFwall + Time based (Enable/Disable Sync) feature which I suppose isn't available as you expect.
However, this might be useful.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gyagapen.cleverconnectivity
And yes, Try to make requests next time around. People will be more interested to help you than to obey orders. :good::laugh:

Buddy, LBE can disable data connectivity of any app through WIFI or 3G. For time to time sync, please use any other application.
LBE looks nice will give it a try...
btw, @vikesh: +1 for avatar logo, nice idea :good:

as above - for example, some apps only allow auto-update every 12 hours. what i want to achieve is - to have all my news feeds/emails/evernote synced and updated before I leave house in the morning (so we can tap on the WIFI instead of 4G). is there an app I could use to achieve that?
Thanks!

what I need : auto-update at fixed timings - e.g. every 7am and 10pm.
what i need #2 : do this for every app (e.g. Evernote/feedly/Gcal/facebook/flipboard)
