installLocation feature and HTC

Hi there,
it seems to be that some manufactor's, like HTC (Sense 3.0), overwrite the "installLocation" attribute through own patched android os versions.
I don't know if this is true, but in fact i have the problem that my app SD-Booster can be moved to SD-Card without a "installLocation" XML statement in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
Well, i guess they use own implemented formulas to verify each app, but in this case it doesn't work very well.
HTC Nexus One (Stock Rom 2.3.3): SD-Booster v1.5.1 can't be moved (option disabled)
HTC Sensation (HTC Stock Rom/Sense 3.0/2.3.3) SD-Booster v1.5.1 can be moved!
Any ideas?
Regards
Akusari

Here are some screenshots, shows up the ****:
Identical installations...

HTC Sensation (failed, allow moving)

Well this can be overiden with ADB:
adb shell
setInstallLocation 2
So HTC could well have set this in their ROM... seems strange, but I guess you have proof

So if there is no way to stop htc from letting users move your app you could do a check for install location and disable the functionality (if any will be comprised by the app moving) and prompt the user to move it back before letting them use the app
From something awesome

Thanks for the information
Yes, it's pretty heavy, isn't it ?
I hope some other devs doing a verification as well and if it's a real problem we should find more app issues anyway.

Adb GUI QtADB

Hey I just found a GUI for some of the simpler ADB commands. Its great for those with little programming experience who flash roms such as myself and currently do adb commands through command prompt.
Thanks to 7ymekk for his hard work on QtADB.
Click here for the thread
Here for his website
Unfortunately the screenshots I made arent uploading properly, so please refer to the website or linked thread for screenshots.
DONT FORGET!!!! This will not work without the Android Sdk setup, drivers installed and the platform-tools addition being downloaded in the sdk manager.
Drivers are here under 2-3 rooting
4-1 gives instructions on how to install SDK, it is now on r16 sdk and the link there will take you to the correct sdk. You must open the sdk manager once installed and install platform tools. Additionally if you choose to set a system variable the path is wrong in the file. the correct path should be C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools, though yours may be different depending on how you install and your specific computer.
Here are some shell commands to use with the GUI
Please dont forget to thank 7ymekk

USB-OTG, Unable to get it working...

Hey Guys,
I'm running Paranoid Android on my Nexus 4 and have tried several different kernels from, franco.kernel, Mirage, AK and stock-PA but all of them do the same thing, I've connected it like you can see below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However when I load StickMount and try to mount it does the following even though on my Nexus 10 it works fine
Any help?

Try this and enable he OTG with synapse app.

If you using synapse you need to flash ukm after flashing the kernel then it will work.

Ahh, that works. Thank you.
Does anyone know why the symlinks aren't working?
If I go to /sdcard/usbStorage/ the SDCard is accessible via the /SDA1/ folder; however what is sda2 for... it appears blank on my screen when I go into it.

I also can't copy my music from /sdcard/Music to /sdcard/USBStorage/sd1 as it says there isn't enough space :/

Thanks guys.
I have been trying for 2 days to get USB OTG working on a Nexus 4.

Anybody else getting constant reboots with this version?

Tried upgrading to N from stock and it's dropped me into a bootloop. Now looking for the OTA file to see if an adb sideload will fix the problem

May be placebo, but my wifi suffered on preview 2, now it's back to normal like it was on MM and N preview 1.

I was f***ed yesterday, and an ADB sideload is the only thing that allowed to get Android back at all.

You need the vendor.img as well .. to be safe
Try this package .. Update.ZIP_PixelC_Ryu_NPD35K-system-vendor.zip -> to be installed via TWRP.
Have a look here .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-c/development/twrp-flashable-monthly-update-zip-pixel-t3375591

Seems to be working fine for me at the moment, haven't really noticed anything different from dev preview 2 though.

Metasploit on android trick!

Hey everyone, i searched for this and apparently no one has "discovered" this until now.
And i'm surprised because it's really simple.
I was randomly trying to boot kali Nethunter on my I9300 (even tho it's not a supported device), And i was trying to fix the wellknown "terminal not found" bug after i downloaded the FULL chroot.
After that i went in my terminal and typed:
-Su
-bootkali
Since Nethunter still wasn't working, i started typing random commands in the terminal, only for fun, until i typed "Msfconsole".
After that BOOOM.
Metasploit booted up.
I was really surprised, and i tried with things you do in Metasploit, Like exploiting and other stuff..
And it worked!
So, without even knowing, i just " bypassed" the fact that Nethunter wasn't working.
Extra:
You can also download other utilities with basic commands, such as "sudo apt-get install".
SO GUYS, EVEN THO NETHUNTER IS NOT WORKING ON YOUR DEVICE, YOU CAN STILL USE THE MOST IMPORTANT UTILITIES IN KALI LINUX, HAVE FUN
KNOWN ISSUES:
Well, i do not expect aircrack to work properly since every device has its own WiFi chipset.

Actually i think it will work as well..
In fact since my GT i9300 was not a supported device by Nethunter, i simply flashed the nexus 5 marshmallow build since it is of course a pure android ROM and since i had cyanogenmod 13..
