FAQ:
I do not have Market access, where can I download the PDroid app?
Right here
What about controlling the internet access?
Controlling access to the network/internet requires either patching the kernel or usi within the PDroid app. I try avoiding the former due to portability and the latter du privacy/security reasons. I am looking into adding internet access control in a way, most acceptable/convenient for the user. However, this feature currently isn't on the
How do I make a patch manually myself?
For experienced developers the following basic steps for creating a PDroid patch shou you started:
Make a clean AOSP build (2.3.4, assuming that your ROM is based on 2.3.x) Make another build with PDroid sources added Decompile the framework.jar, services.jar and core.jar files inside the system/frame (of both above builds) using apktool Diff the output so that you know, which parts were changed by PDroid Decompile the above three files from your ROM, you want to patch Add the missing code to your ROM files based on the above diff Recompile your patched ROM files using apktool
Do you plan on adding Froyo/ICS support?
Yes. But I have not ported PDroid to Froyo or ICS yet. No ETAs yet. You'll need some
Will you provide a public source code repository for PDroid?
I might, when I get some more spare time

Can I backup the privacy settings with TitaniumBackup?
Yes, however you will need to backup your settings to internal memory (PDroid prefere making a backup with TitaniumBackup. After restoring with TitaniumBackup, you will ne previously backed up settings. Alternatively you can backup privacy settings to the S
Can I use LBE Privacy Guard together with PDroid?
Yes.
I have applied the correct patch but my device does not boot, how do I find out what
Restore your backup Get the Android SDK Install it (you don't need the eclipse part) Enable USB-debugging on your device Connect it to your PC Start ddms, which is located in the android-sdk-[platform]\tools directory Apply PDroid patch Reboot the device When your device appears in the ddms window, click on it to see the system log Filter the log by "error" Watch the system log for errors and post them here
I have flashed a patch but I am having very weird issues I didn't have before (like y the SIM card or there are weird graphics etc.)?
Have you flashed other mods to your ROM? If so, PDroid is most likely conflicting wit need to create a patch for your customized ROM.
Also make sure that you are using a patch appropriate for your ROM (the CyanogenMod p stable 7.1 will mostly not work on nightlies unless the link says so).
How do I make a patch for my device after I have flashed some other mods?

If your other mods DO NOT replace any of the three files: framework.jar, services.jar /system/framework, you can just create a patch normally based on your original ROM fi
Otherwise you will need to extract those three files from your device (use a root fil pull), put them into your ROM zip (also in /system/framework) and then create a PDroid p the ROM zip. __________________

That's right. It has virtually no impact on battery life / performance.

Which ROM do you use? Which one is the most popular for SGS2?
