General :: Rooting All Devices Programmatically
Nov 25, 2012
I am an android application developer and I'd like to write an application, which is rooting the phone.There was a time(Android 2.2 and older), when rooting was not really a big thing.Changing the rwx permissions of two files by running two "chmod" terminal commands was enough on nearly every device to root them.
But then it went more difficult. It is still possible programmatically. Here is an idea:
We could use Assembler and native C to generate a Puffer overflow by calling a Unix system call like here(URL....).Then we could get some code, which would be able to change the file permissions coz it's running in Kernel mode, into the Kernel this way.

I wonder whether there is a way to screen shot android programmatically without rooting the phone?
On Google play, there are numbers of screen shot apps saying "no need to root the phone". But actually, most of them do need to root the phone even they said no need.I can only do it by rooting the phone and pushing my app as system app.

I'm developing a little program which syncs some of the users data from my app on the cloud (just a load of strings, but that's not the point).
To help identify each device uniquely I would like to use the IMEI (or ESN number for CDMA devices) ...so here is the question, does anyone know how to access this programmatically?

I am developing my am on mac (10.5.8), on eclipse and SDK 1.6 and a Vodafone HTC Magic Everything was working ok up to a few days ago. I can not see my device on adb devices. I also got a Sony Xperia and I can not see it on the list either. I upgraded the phone software (the HTC) to 1.6 a few days ago. Maybe that is what caused the change, but I could not be sure.

I have been searching but I couldn't find any app that allows me to delete (either programatically or in an easier way than deleting them one by one) several folders (or the files in them) from my Samsung S3350 (Android 4.1.2). I found Autoremove, but it only works for the Download folder. Before you mention it, no, they are not cache files and a cache cleaner will not be useful for me (I've already have one).

Is there any way to disable activation of Google Now on a per app basis, ie, from your application manifest, code, etc?

I have made a little application pushed in /system/app with adb qui connect to a server and sometime download apk for updating/installing apk on the device.
My application is a kind of "updater". I alreay can : install new apk
But I can't update an apk which is already installed in /system/app/
I don't know why, but the update is in /data/app/my-update-1.apk
The application use the new version but, if i reboot the device (a Tao3530 tsunami board), the apk in /data/app/ is deleted and the old /system/app/original.apk version used.
How could i update an /system/app apk ? (without using ADb of course). If i need to use SU command (to push from download folder to /system/app, how could i root the board ?*

merging SMS between 2 Android devices. Both are Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.3 or 4.4.2 (I might update to 4.4.2 soon), none are rooted. I have been using G Cloud Backup but it does not seem to offer a merge option. It's a one-shot, one of the device won't be used afterward.
I don't know in which format SMS are stored on the device... maybe these format would be easy to merge? Or maybe there is an app that could do that (backup phone 1, restore it on phone 2 with a merge option...)?
What happened is that I received SMS on both devices and I'd like to merge them.

I'm trying to setup bluetooth trusted devices on my Moto X so I don't have to unlock the phone when I'm near my computer, but for some reason, the bluetooth connection keeps disconnecting whenever the phone goes to sleep. I tried using my Jambox as a trusted device, and it worked fine.

I have a custom built PVR for XBMC that runs flawlessly on my PC, Macbook Pro, Nexus 7 tablet and Nexus S phone. The addon installs successfully on both my Jynx XD and Jynx HD but when I enable the addon after activating the PVR service I get the 'unexepected error' messages and the addon disables it self.
Is there a specific reason it should work on my Nexus 7 tablet and Nexus S phone and not on my Jynxbox's? I was under the impression that a armeabi-v7a compiled library should work on all supported devices? Is this a wrong assumption?

I'm using Samsung GS3 with null_26 ROM. And I'm a MS Exchange user as well. Mail on my device is so MUST HAVE option. Also PUSH support is very needed option. At the moment in the ROM existing e-mail stock Samsung app is okei, but I have played with the HTC One ( HTC Sense 5) Mail app and that is what I need.
So- is there an option to get on my SGS3 the HTC Mail app and what do I need for that? If not- why?
Main needed options that must work:
Exchange support
Push support
Subfolder support
Subfolder push support

I have a a micromax a56 ninja2 , and would like to root and work on the same , as i am currently a huge fan of android, but in vain, this phone is not visible in Adb devices, below are the things which i have already tried, also i have called micromax and got a ver silly answer to enable the debugging mode ( which i did at the intial stage itself) Things i performed : Enabled USB debugging mode , the phone is accessible for USB data transfer but whenever i type adb devices its blank., Adb kill - server and start server didn't worked Removed all the USB drivers using USBdbview.exe, and installed the drivers from the micromax site and also available on the XDA website ( A56 drivers), the drivers installed but the adb devices were still empty. Backed up the android_winusb.inf and saved the file with Hardware ID's available in device manager ( PID and VID) Still no luck, Phone was restarted and enabled again the debugging mode. no luck One of the website told to copy the adb_usb.ini on the users profile, did that still dint worked.

I'm trying to find a one-way solution to sync 'app' & 'data' between 2 devices, and possibly make a full backup if ever needed.
I cannot get an idea of what each of the apps below do without downloading each one and making a mess. I was hoping some of you could shed some light. Considering these apps use a cloud service of sorts, I am assuming that old versions of files can be retrieved (from trash) by visiting the cloud service on a PC?
1. Titanium Backup Pro
2. DataSync
3. DropSync
4. FolderSync
5. Helium

How does CM9 get ported to phones that dont have a CM9 BASE to begin with? Such as the Samsung Galaxy W. How do they do that.? Because to my knowledge, you must port a ROM with the same firmware as your Base.

I would like to hack in to two andorid devices, mic and the GPS device. With the mic I want to get the back ground noise. Measure the intensity of sound for ex - lets say frequency or some dB value (which ever is supported). With GPS obviously the location cordinates.
On the android platform it will be easy to do this as an application. However I want to pass this data to the kernel..how to achieve that? a user space daemon polling the above sensors constantly(then agian how to write to the kernel space..), or can I get these values in the kernel space itself? (ex- as a bite stream from the device driver).
