Android app with no restrictions - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
Is there a way to make an android application something closer to a system application?
I need the app not to be restricted in terms of background/foreground running, notification limit, sleeping mode, or such things.
I have access to the device.
I don't know a lot of stuff about this so please feel free to ask for further clarification.

If you are rooted, you can make it a system app. Please clarify if you have root privledge. Do you have ADB access?
So you want to to have max permissiom? What is your real goal? Like the root cause of why, as you may not need what you are asking for. Also, what’s the app?

The app has some services that need to run non-stop and it needs to wake up the device every time there is a notification. I cannot tell you about the app as it is work-related, sorry.

Yes, I can use ADB. There is a setting I've just discovered and I'm going to try it, but I'm still interested in other ways.

Why is that a bad idea? The app is supposed to work 100% of the time. I mean the device is basically just for that app.

Ah, you could try it, but it disables dose for everythin, so that battery life would take a tremendous hit. If the device is connected to a charging source all the time, it would not matter though.

Just don't let it force itself on the phone
If you want to disable OTA updates, you can remount your system folder, and delete /system/app/Updater.apk and /system/app/Updater.odex
I've done that on my own phone with no negative effects (so far). I'm fairly sure that should disable any OTA updates from being installed.
Once it does come out, I plan on downloading it (onto my computer), and giving it a good going over. I'll yank out anything that looks like it will disable my root access, and then resign it with the test keys and load it onto the phone using a modified recovery tool.

Ditto my good man.
We don't have to reject it per se any OTA "official" update. We just have to modify it and load it. It will have benefits to update, just not completly to Google's standards
can some one please help..

Details? I was under the impression the retail bootloader wouldn't accept any keys except tmob/google's.
With root though its no biggie to just install the update manually.
well who ever does accept this update please make not of the url it's calling so those of us that aren't can manually grab it. assuming this will still be an option

It sounds like the current state of affairs is not safe. Everything typed on the phone is also submitted to a root shell. It is just a matter of time before I inadvertently type something that damages the filesystem.

That won't help, as it's respawned by init when it dies. Maybe kill -STOP 26 would work, but I haven't verified that.

Tried kill -STOP from adb shell, then "<cr>sleep 90<cr>" and ps showed 'sleep' running. (Sure, I could use 'reboot' but thats just a pita.)

[Guide][WindowsAndroid] Install Gapps on WindowsAndroid

Download the program from: WindowsAndroid
Run as administrator and install the program.
Install Gapps:
1. Download gapps for ICS HERE.
2. Unzip the gapps.
3. Find the system folder that was unzipped, then go into the apps folder. Copy all of the apks
4. Go to C:\SocketeQ\windowsandroid_root\system\apps
5. Paste all of the apks in that directory.
6. Restart Windowsandroid
7. Enjoy gapps.
Note: You will now be able to add a Google account and get into Google Play but there is not really anything in the Play Store at this time.
Note #2: There have been reports that, this may not work on AMD processors. Intel seem to work just fine.
Very cool. Like you say, little you can do with it so far and very regular crashes even just using Play Store and built-in apps, but definitely one to keep an eye on.
The emulator won't even start.
I get an error in the cmd window that app_process(4776) terminated abnormally.
I got some screenshots if it helps.

Are you running it as an administrator? If so try removing the program from Add or Remove programs. Then going to your C: drive and delete the file SocketeQ. Re install the program, once it is installed open WindowsAndroid first. Then close it and install the Gapps after running it one time. See if that helps anything.

As of right now you just have to try and see what you can get to work. This is a very early release and so there are a lot of things that need fixed. I just want to let people know that this is out there and that its something to look out for.

Installed through the Play store, nothing. Even if you can find an app listed as compatible, they won't download. Manually installed, try it and see.

How to remove logcat files? (Not Samsung)

This problem has been bothering me all day. My phone is always out of memory and I've found out that it's the logcat files that are causing this. I've managed to root my phone and connect it to the adb shell on my PC but I have no idea how to remove the logcat files. I would appreciate if you could help me!

Thank You for your time but I've managed to find an older version of the App since it's no longer on the Play store. It only blocked the Main logs. But how do I delete the old logs which take up gigabytes? Anyway to do it through the ADB shell?

Logs taking up Gigabytes
Are those tree logs?
What device are you using? IIRC some MTK devices have an engineering mode. I've used it to disable logging before.
If you just want to clear them, download 3C System Tuner from the Playstore. It'll give you that option.

Additionally, if you can locate the folder in which they're stored, you can just go ahead and delete them manually.
Not sure if this will work on android's shell, but it works on the linux's. You can do this via adb.
Adb shell
Then su to get root access
find / (make sure to add a space!) and then .log I guess

How to do a quick reboot?

Hi! is there a way to do a rebbot on Head Unit Android 9 (PX6) ?
I know only the method pushing the small pinhole on the radio.
Maybe there is another way via interface in the settings?
thanks
I'd like to know too... without root (root is easy).
At the moment I use a terminal app and type 'reboot' but I'd like an easier method.

Slow down; not suggesting a terminal app at all, read the wiki - factory password codes for various utility commands, you might pick up a few other things than might then enable helping others, rather than a quick answer to get what you want and exit.

When I say modified secured. I meant it's using an android system. But have very limited function. Like don't allow user to add apps. And no wifi or cell services. No memory slot. Only way I could think about adding apps to there is through an OTG cable

It would help if you would just post more informations. For example, if I want to flash a file on samsung, I would use Odin. You cannot use Odin with other brands, like xiaomi, Huawei, oneplus. Post as much information you can. Do you want our help or not? So far you ve only said that the device is secured. That's not helpful at all, given there are many ways of securing a device, some devices have more means of securing them. What methods to bypass said security work on some and don't work on others. So, if you want help, post as much information as possible.
