AdHell 2
Code:
*** Disclamer
I first want to note that the original developer did not help me in any way with this, he did not provide me with the code (it was found from public forks from his Github), nor guidance on modifying the app. I do not want to cause him any further inconvenience or trouble with his job.
I simply forked the code and made some minor changes, so majority credit goes to the original dev, but as he is now dissociated from the project any other developers (including some of the contributors from the first version) are welcome to help continue. I take no responsibility for any issues this app may cause with your device.
Introduction
Hi everyone, since Adhell was removed from the Play Store and the code was taken down from Github, I (not the original developer) got a copy of the publicly available code and made some changes to remove dependence on the original developer's server and removed the subscription on the new permissions feature. It was a very quick and dirty edit, but it was just to ensure the app still works once the original developer takes down everything related from his website, which the app relies on.
The way this app works was to utilize Samsung's Knox framework which included a Firewall feature that allowed ads to be blocked. The additional features such package disabling and permission blocking were also done through Knox. In order to make a Knox compatible app, a license has to be used, and the only way to get one is from Samsung unfortunately. It is fairly easy to get a "development" key from Samsung which lasts for 1-3 months (I believe) and so I have modified the app to require each user to enter their own key. I know this is not ideal, but it will keep working like this, and it reduces threat of Samsung revoking the license and disabling the app entirely for everyone. If any developer wants to help me rework the app, please let me know, help is definitely appreciated, and my code is still open source and available on Github. I'm a broke college student with very little time to work on this, and am by no means a professional dev, so I apologize in advance for slow updates and probably little in the way of additional features. I will do my best to keep it working.

Installation instructions
So to procure your own "developer" license, you need to go to this link, and either register for a Samsung account or sign into your own, and then enroll as a developer. After that proceed to this link and generate a Knox Standard SDK Enterprise license key with a generic "key alias" (I recommend something like "testing", not something like "adhell", just in case). Copy over the key to your device somehow (email, Join, Pushbullet, etc.) as it is pretty long. When you open up the new Adhell 2 app, you will see a popup asking you to enable device admin access, enter a key, and then enable license, do the three steps in that order. If the key is not entered correctly, the license will not activate.

This link will randomize the package name to stop Samsung from blocking the app. Every 2 minutes you can rebuild the app, but please only do this if the current version stop working.

followed your steps. got my key. enter it in and it fails to register. what is the middle button for in the popup? submit knox key i think it says. i have tried reinstalling it a couple times. i have used both the really long knox key samsung gave me and the much shorter key. i have tried with and without pushing the middle button before the activation button. nothing seems to work. no idea what i am doing wrong here. verizon s8+ running unlocked firmware.
Edit: Just went and got an enterprise key as someone on reddit suggested that was the correct key to use. No difference. Still won't activate.
Nothing happens when i click submit nox key or activate

I have the same issue. I have made sure that the license type is Enterprise (the first tab on the Samsung site). The 'Submit Knox' key never grays out, and the 'Activation' takes almost a minute before it comes back as failed.
I have Adhell 1.7.3 installed but deactivated. Don't know if that matters.
Submitted and got 2 keys.. neither one of them works..

Working on figuring out the License activation fail everyone, the same version (same .apk file) was working just fine yesterday and testers had no issues. Seems like Samsung might have done something on their end. Give me a little bit to see what's going on.
Activated fine on my end.
Nice keeping an eye on this.

Ok everyone, it seems like Samsung is blocking my app specifically. When I change the package name (basically the internal app identifier) the license verification goes through just fine. I just tested on two devices and it worked just fine once I changed the package name, and if I change it back the verification breaks again. I'll see if I can find a permanent fix to stop them from blocking the app, but in the mean time I'll post up a new .apk with a changed package name. Keep in mind, Samsung seems to be monitoring this, and it will likely stop working again.
Sammy has people working hard on Sunday. Already none of my keys are working. SDK (either long or short) nor Enterprise are working.

Do you mean the original app from the play store? I do believe that is still working, if you find the apk online (it's posted everywhere), problem is it's reliant on some stuff from the original dev's servers, so when that goes down, anyone trying to install will have trouble. That's why I made this. But Samsung doesn't like me apparently.

It's actually starting to look silly how hard they are trying to stop people that don't care about their useless assistant that does only one thing - wastes resources and a potentially useful physical button. Button remappers first and now this.

Today I am launching TextHer app which enables users of android phone to communicate privately and securely between them.
TextHer
It is a peer to peer (serverless) messaging app where the messages are directly sent from one phone to another without being routed through or stored on any servers.Messages will be not be routed through carrier's server instead it will be directly sent from one phone to another using data connection.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spacenext.texther
Sending a message:
To send a message to another phone just type the primary gmail address of the phone,type your message and send it.
For example my phone's primary account is [email protected],Just type the mail address or just the account name(ramanean) and send a message
Features
1.No Registration is required and Free unlimited messages.
2.Secure/Instant communication between any two individuals
3.Instant Delivery of messages (unless the other phone doesn't have a working data connection)
4.Messages are not stored on any servers.they are stored only on your phones.
5."Background Send" option which allows a delivery of messages incase of a failure.
6.Messages are encrypted by AES standards
This app would make it difficult for law enforcement and spy agencies to track what is being communicated between two phones as the messages sent are encrypted by a standard AES algorithm and the messages are not stored on any server.It allows secure communication between two phones without the fear of being tracked for their messages.
Serverless:
It's not entirely serverless as we store the ips on our server and give it to the clients which enables phones to connect with each other. And I have plans to come out with another version which would never involve a server.
I hope I would get a constructive review on your site.Please let me know whether you need any extra information

a) This app won't be available in certain countries in the Middle East and south East Asia!
b) There is too much of snooping around and that's why I have come out with this app
c) On other hand it would help organizations like Occupy Wall Street and people in their protests.It would great help in free speech
MY answer to others who question my app!
Why do you need a intermediate person to message/communicate your loved one? Whether we use a third person to communicate with our loved ones inside our house? The answer is No.. and that is the reason I have come out with this app.
Okay here's what I discovered after a bit of goofing around:
1) You use app for a few minutes and it is impossible to get out. Pressing back keeps bringing you back to previous screen. In a loop.
2) I tried messaging myself. Didn't work.
3) I tried messaging on ramaean. App not installed
4) When I tried messaging to shangce, it force-closed on me.
5) You need to have a more consistent UI. You have used all the colors in rainbow
I don't want to come off as a ****, but if someone wanted to use an app for truly private communication I think they should be asking the following questions:
Could you describe in detail what happens to the text from the time you press Send to when the recipient's phone beeps?
How do we know your servers aren't logging our messages?
Why should we use your app instead of an encryption app?
Please don't take this as an insult to your app or hard work, but they are legitimate concerns for any security related app. I would be much more comfortable if there was an encryption feature.
You got some of the points wrong
a)My mail ID is [email protected] and not "ramnean" (use ramanean)
b)You can click on the home button in the bottom help menu to come out
c)I won't reveal from my that mail address "shangce"
d)I don't know which provider you are using.l
This app will not work if the phone has internal IP's!!
UI :
I need to work a big on UI As I always choose colors wrong

a) I used the correct id. there was a typo in above message. Anyway, this isn't a deal-breaker.
b) I should still be able to come out of an app by pressing back button. Don't you think?
c) Didn't get you.
d) It works after disabling WiFi. My bad.
e) You can try a two-colour theme.

What's the version of Android you are using?
Ok, so is this still a "NO" for us in the Middle East? Will you post the apk file here or will I have to wait till I get back to India later this month to download it?
Is there some reasoning for barring people based on location? Am pretty sure that:
a) A terrorist is neither in our midst nor that one would be wandering around in the xda forums looking for something they could use.
b) If they are aware of a software such as this they could always get one of their partners in crime to download it from an off site location and mail it to them.
Hope that you will post it here.

Remember that the app works only for external ip's it doesn't work for natted ip's (I am trying to fix it)
Send a message to yourself to see that whether it works for you! If you didn't get your own message then it won't work for you as you may on a natted/internal IP
Nice idea, flawed execution. No functionality in any of my tests. Currently attempt to use Redact instead.

I don't know if others are having this problem, but many of the screen shots I took don't load at first. Try a few refreshes, it should make the how to easier to follow.
So I only recently tried this out. I haven't found any glaring issues with it, but a backup is recommended just in case. No warranty, I'm not responsible if somehow this breaks/bricks your phone, causes your phone to not dial during an emergency, etc.
Also I didn't really proofread this as I don't have a large amount of time available, so sorry for any dumb grammar errors. I'll look it over eventually.
I didn't like the choices that Samsung provided in the Earphones Connected options for the notification drop down. Here is example of the stock:
My original hope was to remove it completely, but I wasn't successful with my first attempts. Instead I found that I could edit the SQLite database contained within. This allows one to add custom applications as they see fit.
If you want to remove it completely:

Requirements:
Galaxy S3 with stock or near stock firmware (CM9/CM10 will won't have Earphones Connected options to my knowledge)
Root Access
SQLite Editor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
Free version doesn't seem to work. Try if you insist:
SQLite Editor(Free version SQLite editor, thanks eschelon)
It appears the free one is a version behind. 1.4.1, maybe they will update it eventually.
Where the pay for app is 1.5
1.5 had some ICS compatibility added..
Step 1)
Open SQLite
You should get a screen like this:
Step 2)
Tap "TouchWiz home"
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then tap "launcher.db"
Then tap "appOrder" ...
Step 3)
This should bring you to the SQLite table for your app drawer. This will list the info we need for launching the app of you choosing. For this example we will use Google Maps as our app of choice. The screen should like similar to this, (a jumbled mess):
From here you want to hit the menu button and select "Set Filter
Type in maps, and click ok:
Step 4)
Now you will have a bit more manageable table. Press and hold on maps until you get this pop up and select "Edit Record".
Step 5)
Scroll down and copy the "componentName" data:
Step 6)
Press back until you get to the database lists again. Then tap the "ContextAwareService"
Step 7)
Tap "logDatabase.db" ...
Then tap "appLogTable"
side note: sqlite_sequence determines what number the next entry will be in the table. This may be necessary to know in case there are too many apps in the table and the ones you try to add don't show on the screen. Also if I remember right setting this to 0 will reset you to default applications and clear your changes, although it doesn't always fix problems with crashes if you experience them. I would still do a nandroid and/or titanium backup just in case
Step 8)
You should now have a screen like this: (you may notice google play is already on my list, ignore that)
Press the menu button and select "New Record"
Side note: You can long press the other entries and delete them as you please if there are particular ones you don't want listed. I'd recommend at least screen shot before doing so. I wouldn't actually do this, as I think I found a more stable work around for unwanted apps: See here.
Step 9)
Warning a lot of people are gettings this error on this step:"Record creation failed-unable to open database file"
I am unaware of the cause or how to fix it as of yet. I am using the paid for version myself, so I don't know if that makes some sort of difference. I would doubt that it does. Also I am on the Bean rom.
Please post if you have failure or success and what rom you are using as well as if you used the free or paid version of the app.
Now paste the earlier copied text into the "activity_name" section.
Paste the earlier copied text up to the / in the "pkg_name" section (See the screen shot for example)
Tap "save"
side note:The last field "exec_freq_with_headset" seems to keep track of how many times you launch the app through the notification menu. So far it seems to order the most frequently used on the left, and the lest frequently used on the right. Although you shouldn't need to add any number there as it will default to 0. This should better explain the "exec_freq_with_headset"
Woot Done:
Plug in some headphones and see what it looks like:

Were the headphones still plugged in? Maybe it was still accessing the database when you attempted to edit it?
Another thought is to close out SQLite Editor and reopen it, maybe once you used Play Music it incremented the "exec_freq_with_headset" field and the editor didn't see the update yet.

Working fine for me. I can post a screen shot later. I gotta run some errands.
Only tried Pandora, but it worked just fine. I have yet to run into the same problem with the database files not opening. Maybe a reboot or clear cache/dalvik cache. Those are my usual attempts when I feel stumped.

nice. was just in the subway today wondering if there was a way to change those, since i would like to add spotify and poweramp in the list. thanks!
I messed up my database, somehow causing the process to continually crash. Which in the past I was able to delete everything and it went back to the default. This time it went back to default but still crashed. So I did a restore from titanium backup and it was back to normal. So probably backup in between each edit. Also the "exec_freq_with_headset" seems to be based on your total number of apps. So if you have like 10 total the one with 10 will show up on the far left, up to 5 will show. I hope this makes sense.
10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6
This seems to negate the need to delete any of them. Also I think deleting may have caused my process to crash previously.
Heres some screen shots to explain it: (if i put one of the app's "exec_freq_with_headset" to 11 it would shift all the rest to the right one and knock the farthest right one off the screen's visibility. But if I set to 12 I think it will cause crash issues.)
When I try to save (step 9), it won't and I get the error "Record creation failed-unable to open database file"
Happened when I tried to add MortPlayer, Listen, and Pandora. None would save. I'm rooted and running regular Touchwiz rom.
Also, I noticed that in Step 3 most of my apps were not listed, including many of my favorite audio apps. I realized that this is because I'm using a different launcher (Apex), and only the apps that were on the Samsung launcher before I started using Apex were showing up. To fix this, I cleared Apex as the default launcher, launched the Samsung launcher, let all the apps show in the app drawer, then started over with your steps. This time all the apps were there in Step 3.

I posted this quote at the beginning of the how to. Use titanium backup and freeze the process. Although this isn't very well tested to my knowledge:

Happened when I tried to add MortPlayer, Listen, and Pandora. None would save. I'm rooted and running regular Touchwiz rom.
Also, I noticed that in Step 3 most of my apps were not listed, including many of my favorite audio apps. I realized that this is because I'm using a different launcher (Apex), and only the apps that were on the Samsung launcher before I started using Apex were showing up. To fix this, I cleared Apex as the default launcher, launched the Samsung launcher, let all the apps show in the app drawer, then started over with your steps. This time all the apps were there in Step 3.

You may be able to open the database for your particular home app instead of switching back. Just a thought.

I will now try again after exiting the program completely
EDIT: Nope, still says "unable to open database file". The text fields that I copy from those apps are noticeably smaller than the one for Play Music....something to do with it?

What Rom are you guys using? I have edited mine quite a bit and still not been able to reproduce the error you guys are having.
Getting the same error using Bean's rom. Still on stock launcher and free sqlite editor
I get the error whether I try to add a new record or edit an existing one.

I tried the free version now that I got home and found I am getting the same error. I don't know how they are different, but it just won't work for me. I also couldn't get any screen shots while in the free app, I don't know why. I getting out my Gnex to take a photo of it not working.
It appears the free one is a version behind. 1.4.1
Where the pay for app is 1.5
1.5 had some ICS compatibility added.

Yup confirmed it works now with the paid version. Must be some incompatibility that was fixed in the latest version.
Hi XDA's !
I made a quite simple, small and free app that will help you to fix the recent showed USSD/MMI vulnerability which affects many android devices.
For reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2-0B04HPhs
Most Samsung phones are fixed to data wipe (there's not reported MMI command for HTCs), but still MANY Android devices are vulnerable to MMI commands including PIN code change ones, that can block your SIM card, after executing MMI command for PIN change more than 10 times with wrong PIN (for example malicious URL with 10 frames with PIN change instruction).
Please follow the installation instructions below:
1. Check if your phone is vulnerable - open your mobile browser and navigate to: http://goo.gl/4IWgL (or use the barcode below)
2. If your phone is vulnerable you will see your IMEI number displayed.
This means that service MMI commands can be executed on your phone, when you visit a malicious web page. The MMI commands are service commands, and if you see the IMEI it doesn't mean that your phone is vulnerable to the Samsungs data wipe vulnerability. BUT an attacker can still block your SIM card issuing a MMI string to change your PIN code more than 10 times. Finally your SIM card will be blocked.
3. If DON'T see the IMEI number, you are safe and you don't need this app
4. If you see a popup with your IMEI number, then install this app from Google Play (click on install button on the the left).
5. Once you install the app navigate again to: http://goo.gl/4IWgL (or use the barcode below)
6. Your phone will ask you how to complete the action. Choose USSDFix and mark it as default for this action.
7. You will see a notification that your phone tries to open a page that contains a USSD call and will block it.
8. Your phone is safe now !

First it handles calls from browser like "tel:", then it checks for * and %23 (#) in the dialed string.
Are the HTC's vulnerable too? and the Sense 4?
Unfortunately some HTC's are. You can test yours using the URL provided in the thread (or using the barcode scanner).

Tested the vulnerability with stock browser and dolphin on sense 4.1. Both times I got to see my IMEI.
Installed patch app, and now it works. Very clever how you did this. Thanks !!
Is anyone brave enough to test this on a real-wiping-all-the-data link?
thanks a lot I have a zte gingerbread and I cannot update to jellybean so my phone is vulnerable...I've found a similar app on market but it's incompatible, yours is totally good for my phone!!!thank you!

The problem is that if you open a malicious URL in your browser, the browser can send a USSD command tothe dialer to factory reset your phone.
I hope that they will fix this soon, but if you are vulnerable and cannot update your phone you are at risk.
well my sensation is a culprit of it too ..unfortunately
i tested the app and its working perfectly well ...so SENSATION USERS GO AHEAD AND USE THIS APP
BTW voted for PORTAL .... lot of people should know this vulnerability and the fix for it
and i request other users of this app to vote for portal (click the "Newsworthy Thread" present at top right corner of the thread title )
Edit: Btw I used the vulnerability of the xda app to thank you.. As I'm out of thanks for today lol

Hehe, yes, it's normal - see installation instructions - you should choose the USSDfix as default for this activity (since there's no official patch of the dialer).

see at the end you should kinda prevent browser to give control of using phone ...thats what this app does ..its like a firewall ..which checks the code before giving the command to the phone ..if you bypass the firewall itself ..how can you expect it to prevent using phone
its like you bought an anti-virus for your PC ...installed it ..but then DISABLED it ..and claiming it not working
get the point now ?

One advise.
Please try to create more clear UI...
Well the idea of a such a guide is not bad, but the implementation is pretty bad .
Some feedback:
- The decline button on your license agreement does not work.
- Neither does the back button, so if you don't want to accept the license, you will have to kill the app.
- Then big listview does not show where you clicked. You just click somewhere and hope the right entry opens.
- The search field ontop of each entry does not work.
While i am no fan of advertisements, i understand that they are a necessary evil to finance some things.
So a small advertisement banner is okay.
But your app goes rampge on this.
It wants to adds itself to the bookmarks, set itself as browser homepage and add a browser search icon the the home screen.
The bookmark adding and changing of the browser homepage didn't even work on my test device, but your descriptions clearly state that it wants to do that. These actions remind myself of self installing browser toolbars on internet explorer.
These changes are not undone by uninstalling the app and have to be changed manually.
This does not make your app look very trust worthy

I have been trying to find a way to reactivate the full options for the lock screen. There is a way to do it with root access, by editing the settings menu...I just haven't found a way to do it yet. With that said, I have found an Activity Launcher that runs with ROOT access and have also installed it into /system/priv-app. In doing so I have been able to find the settings to enable ALL the lock screen lock options. In addition to the PIN number and SLIDE to lock methods, you also get to:
- Enable lock pattern
- Enable lock password
- Disable lock screen
In order to activate these options, you have to be rooted. However, these are items I believe reside somewhere on the Secure Settings level (system, secure or global). Amazon just does a good job of hiding these settings and the launcher application is the only one I have found that is able to access these options. If you don't have root access, you can still visually see the settings fragment. I do believe this feature can be enabled without having a rooted tablet. If the right fragments can be found, the activity could possibly be launched via ADB or ADB shell. It's also possible another activity and intent type launcher can perform these actions.
1. Download, install and open 'Activity Runner' from the play store.
2. Scroll the list until you see 'Settings' and tap on it. Scroll down the list further, until you see the SECOND 'Unlock Selection' item. It will be in listed as red and the fragment/activity/intent below it will say '.ChooseLockGeneric$InternalActivity'. Tap it.
3. Profit!! :highfive::good::victory: These tablets are so much fun to 'hack.' Thanks again for following everyone! :highfive:

This activity launcher won't display the fragment paths that are in red. Did you happen to find it? I found the Java source for the fragment. I just have no clue how to 1) edit actual .Java files 2) compile or 3) create an app from Java. Of all I can currently do, I have much trouble with Android studio. I just don't understand how to use most of the actual program. Still learning that part.

I don't think that the fragments need to be declared in AndroidManifest.xml. I just have some old skills to get an app up and running from Android Studio. Anyway, it's possible to look into the .java file of the Activity to cherry pick the fragments.
And, about the top secret activity I mentioned about, to start that from UID=system you need the permission DISPLAY_DEBUG_UI. Maybe you can start that from UID=0(root).

Can't get an activity launcher app to run with those permissions. However if you hAve a rooted device, Activity Runner in the OP will launch almost every activity. I have looked over several of the activities in that app. Took me a few hours to read just about all I'm able to launch. I was able to launch the dev/prod mode in Amazon Device Settings. Though I'm not sure what it does and was too scared to try lol

Applications Info (com.majeur.applicationsinfo) can list all activity.
But can't launch as root permission.
So you can using Terminal Emulator:

'Activity Runner' became `Activity Manager` and new link is:

Not sure why but when I load up Activity Manager and click on settings / .ChooseLockGeneric$InternalActivity I do not get that option to
use Lock Type: None ... I only get the basic 4 options ( swipe, pattern, pin, password )
I am using Activity Manager PRO v2.4.1 (2049) on a ROOTED 10"
Any thoughts ? What version of Activity Launcher is confirmed working for this trick ?
Thank you
