Taintdroid - Realtime privacy Monitoring for Smartphones

i just read an article about "taintdroid". it's an app that monitors the communication of android apps.
here's a video: youtube.com/watch?v=qnLujX1Dw4Y
it would be great if all community roms would include it by default. the source will be published very soon.

p.s.: i'm not allowed to post links -> you'll have to copy/paste them manually

I saw this online too. Really want a decent firewall for my phone.

Good app, but the widget still sucks.
I mean no back button? come on

Market isn't update this still useless to me. Can't launch audio store and then leave almost everyone chain refreshing their mobile market app wondering when they'll be able to actually use it. It's just a bit dirty, IMO.
The service itself I like decent enough, though.

On any tab when you press the store icon for "No ads + bonus feature", you get a message "Choose another item - This in-app purchase is no longer available in Device Diagnostics Hub", then the app closes.
I'll test it further later, but this is a nice start

That is probably due to general problems with purchase in store.

@Pasquiindustry
Thanks for this great app! I hope you'll add authentication for developer mode soon.

Logging would be very handy for anyone trying to troubleshoot issues. Might help to find a rogue process or something. Is this something you could add down the track?

@the_scotsman I will try to add more functions within the next release, I'm writing a to-do list with every suggestion and that's a very long list XD
Unfortunately, that's an IAP error within the Store :S

Update available! (v 1.5)
Changelog is available within the opening post

Great job! Thanks for implementing authentication.

Hi, I saw these files, but they aren't working on Windows Mobile (I think that files are there for the OneCore system). APIs to make them working are missing unfortunately.

Crashed during start up, can't pass through the startup screen.

@Pasquiindustry, the app is cool but it never remembers the password..
1. Install app from Store
2. Pair with phone
3. All OK & works
4. Close app & open it again
5. Need pairing again......

I've notices something similar within the latest insider build. It seems that Windows is taking too much time to load the app. If you try multiple times, the app will start.
I'm pretty sure that's not a bug related to my app because there isn't anything running at the app startup.

Yes, that's normal on phones with TH2. This got resolved with Redstone, but this require an update (don't worry, it's coming really soon and will contain a lot of new features ).
It seems that the "remember this device" function is bugged and return an error if enabled. So if you want authentication, you need a new passcode everytime you run this app.

can you save last IP and connect again during app start? Currently I have to connect each time again to my local IP of my phone to see the data

I conect to host: 127.0.0.1.

I also do this, but I have to go to configuration and connect each time I start the app again. I want to start the app and the app should connect to localhost each time

ASUS ZenPad 8 Z380M - internal storage issue due to mtklog audio dump files

Would like some assistance with an ASUS ZenPad 8-inch tablet. The tablet is not rooted; is about a month old; and is updated to Android 7.0. Recently I get an "Internal storage running out" notice. I trace it to a folder called mtklog>audio_dump. All of the files are just audio logs of what my daughter watches on YouTube. These files take up to 8-9 GB of memory in the span of a day or two depending on how much she's watching. I can delete the files but they just fill back up and it's annoying. I do not recall doing anything to start these audio logs.
Can anyone advise on what to do in order to not record these audio logs? I can't seem to find an app that's recording the logs. I've attached a screenshot of the files hogging up all the storage.

My Zenpad is also affected by this issue after the update. Mine becomes unusable within an hour or two due to the size of the files generated. Why was this backdoor spy added/activated?

Exactly same problem with ZenPad10 with Android7 . Anyone has any work arounds?

Hi Everyone,
I did some digging and found a workaround.
This is how I fixed it:
Click 7 times on build number found in software update option in settings to enable developer options.
Go to Developers options under settings menu and change 'Logger Buffer sizes' to off.
Voila! The issue is fixed. Hope it helps!

Hello, I had the same problem with my ASUS. lg23's workaround fixed the issue. Thanks!
Edit: Nope I thought it worked, but it didn't. Still creating huge audio dump files in mtklog folder...

Same issue for me.... do not understand how to turn this off..... have you found a solution ?

Hey guys, see if this works:
Install Engineer Mode MTK shortcut
Turn on developer options
Start Engineer Mode. Go to Hardware Testing -> Audio -> Audio Logger
Uncheck any boxes that are checked
Profit (and maybe reboot)
All in all, I don't understand why some tablets have the logging enabled and other don't, if this is indeed the issue. I've never seen it enabled, even after a factory reset.
If you have the audio logging issue on either the Z380M or the Z300M, please post:
Your firmware SKU
Your region code given by the property ro.config.versatility (may need a terminal app to read that via getprop)
The firmware version you were on when you reset your tablet

Hey,
I'm still having the problem. It seems it works for a few days turning off the logging in developer settings, but only for few days, then it starts again (without a restart in the meantime). Also tried the Engineer Mode and all checkboxes are unchecked.
Just an idea: can we somehow set the mtklog folder as read only?

Huh, that's weird... That engineer mode setting is what's supposed to control it. Maybe try checking the boxes, save, then uncheck them. Just to refresh the internal settings.
I suppose you can do something like this in TWRP or root mode to remove write permissions from that folder:
chmod -w /sdcard/mtklog/audio_dump​Not sure if that will stick or have any side-effects.

Did you figure out how to fix this?? I am having the EXACT same problem. The solution works for me for about 2 weeks and then without notice, it will just start again! It is so frustrating and I can't find any other solution on the web.

Hey, so far the only thing worked for me:
1) install "Automate" app (or a similar one which can run user created tasks)
2) create task, that deletes the "mtklog" folder every 10 mins (yeah, playing youtube can fill up my memory in 10 mins)

hi, thanks for the advice.
On automaton, how to create this task, please?

Same issue MTKlogger
I also have the same issue with my Asus tablet. The MTKlogger fills up my internal storage continually. This was how it came out the box, horrible quality control from Asus. I am still searching for how to stop the logging.

Can these files be converted into usable MP3s?
Quite often I would like to save the audio on YouTube videos and used to have plug-ins and apps that could do that and haven't bothered to replace them with modern versions. So I am wondering if there is data in these files that can be converted into MP3 files. A search of this thread found no hits so I am posting this reply.
Thanks! You guys here have always been life savers for me!

P.S. Funny how what most people consider to be a problem caused by this bug is viewed as a potential opportunity for a music nut like myself.... I've been working around software bugs as a user for almost 35 years so I don't mind having to delete them whenever they build up. Rather than delete them I moved 5.85GB of them to an ext sd card just in case....
P.P.S. As a user here is a tip other Z380M owners might find useful. One of my big complaints is that you need to remove the back cover to access the ext sd card. A second complaint is that because of the physical design I find the tablet to be unusable without a cover or snap-on case.
What eventually solved both of those issues for me was to leave the hard plastic back cover off as the snap-on soft gel case sold for around $5 on-line offers enough protection, at least for me. While I usually prefer to use a folio case whenever transporting a tablet in my goto bag I made up a protective cover out of cardboard and secured with two thick rubber bands. It might look like crap but it sure beats having to worry about a cracked screen!

Clicking 7 times didn't do anything. Was this some kind of goose chase prank? How would anyone even know to click that 7 times to access developer options and is there another way to access developer options?

I have the same problem. Not sure why it dumps, perhaps when I use a bluetooth external speaker. Mine takes months to accumulate,. I go to Storage then to Internal shared storage, Other then explore. I delete the files from here, under the mktlog folder, autio dump. They are stored here and can't be deleted with other programs like ES File explorer. Hope it helps.

Hi there
I have an ASUS Z380 and my internal storage be being eaten up by mtklog>audio_dump.
So I enabled the developer mode and set 'Logger Buffer sizes' to off in the Developers options.
I also installed the "Engineer Mode MTK shortcut" and unchecked "Audio Logger" from Hardware Testing -> Audio -> Audio Logger.
The disk space was the same as before so I manually deleted the entire "mtklog" folder from file manager, then rebooted.
Looks like things are nice. I now have over 6GB free space rather than just a couple of hundred MB.

Hi,
Thanks all for making this problem searchable and caring
Z300M with recent storage troubles.
I've Chromecasted many YouTubes without seeing any storage blockages.
However, I only recently experimented with BLUETOOTH for podcasting to my Internet Radio.
Now, memory full thanks to junk in folder "audio_dump".
I'll list the filenames because they might provide evidence of criminality
I can delete them manually without fear as I did a few days ago.
