App making itself a System App - SuperSU

[email protected],
SuperSU offers the possibility to make itself a system app. I would like my app to be able to do so as well, but since SuperSU isn't open source, I can't figure out how. Google and searching the forum couldn't help me, all I can find is tutorials howto move an app manually.
Can someone help me? Maybe Chainfire can post this part of source code from SuperSU?
Greetings
EDIT:
Based on GSam Battery Root Companion, I created some kind of a library. I say kind of, because it's only a class called SystemAppUtilities, using RootTools.
I created a little sample app called 'Self To System', demonstrating the capabilities of SystemAppUtilities. If you want to use the utils for your own app, you can play around with this app to get a feeling for them.
I didn't create an apk, just the source code is available on GitHub.
Have fun!

No one?

Check out GSAM battery monitor companion app, it is open source and does what are you asking for.

OK, I thanked your post and took a look at the source code of GSam Battery Monitor in October 2015. :angel:
Now, over a year later, I finally implemented and tested it. And it works, thanks!

[Q] Android Image Editing App for G-Tablet?

One of the big things I REALLY need to be able to convert to using Android and my G-Tablet as a complete replacement on the road is an Image Editor that supports layers (filters as well would also be nice). I know there are a couple out there for the Chrome Web OS, so I would assume there has to be something at least as good for the Android? Or is there a way to run Chrome Apps under Android (or in one of the Android browsers)?
TIA!
I know that there's a Photoshop Express for Android but I'm not sure if it supports layers.
However, the Canvas App (in this thread) from the Adam port does support layers. I haven't had much time to play around with it so I'm not sure how 'robust' an app it is but you might want to check it out.
Photoshop Express for Android unfortunately doesn't have layers. Maybe in the future
Thanks for the Canvas link. Going to give that, and a web-based offering called Splashup a try tonight.

Market claims that while my Nexus One is compatible, that the G-tab isn't. Have you been able to run it on the G-tab?
If its the sketchbook mobile app it does work however u can't be running began or tnt. Needs to be zpad or CM

Have you tried Picsay Pro? It's a paid app but well worth it. Does layers.
I'm finding that many of these apps do "layers", but they don't do what "I" need from layers. For the sorts of things I do, I copy part of another picture, and then "Paste as New Layer". Both Canvas and PicSay support layers, but only for doing artwork in the program on the layer, which isn't a "true" layer where you could use a layer to try and add a color correction, and then an effect, and blow one or the other of those away by just dropping the layer.
Haven't been able to get to an APK for the Autodesk product. Evidently the "Market Fix" for Vegan, et al doesn't fix the entire market (I also can't seem to find Jet Car Stunts, but that's another thread).
The online editors are Flash based, but usually once you start to get into any heavy lifting they crash. I am going to take a look at Aviary since I think they have an HTML 5 based version.
FWIW...

Not sure where you got that information...

SO, were you able to convince the market to let you install it, or did you have to sideload somehow, or... ?

Downloaded from the Market -- nothing special done...
Of course, who isn't sporting a custom build.prop and fingerprint ID on this board?
;-)
I can rip off the APK and post it if it is required -- though I thought this thread was just seeking recommendations...
I just wanted to post that the app does work fine -- even on Vegan...

Pointers to the thread that worked for you would be appreciated. I've tried the normal with stopping the market, clearing the cache, stopping the framework, rebooting - and while that shows more of the market, it doesn't show all of it.
Yes, I am looking for recommendations, but it's hard to say if a recommendation will actually work without trying it. I am not trying to avoid paying for anything, but I can't pay for it if the market won't let me DL it
Seriously, if someone can help me setup my market so I can see it, I will be more than happy to pay for the product.
In fact, I'm kind of surprised that more application providers don't offer an option to order and DL direct for just such circumstances. Does Autodesk really care if Google gets their cut?

Works like a dream on latest Vegan rom, especially if you invest in a good stylus.
Search for the .apk with the browser. I think I found mine at appbrain or something like that.

Appbrain just takes me back to the market, so no help there...
OK, bought Root Explorer, and updated my Build.Prop. Took 24 hours, but the market finally recognized my Viewsonic as compatible with the Autodesk app, and I FINALLY was able to buy and install. The controls aren't the most intuitive, but it does exactly what I needed it to. Thanks!
What build prop are you on? mine doesn't recognise...can someone pls rip the apk?

I used the build.prop documented around page 133 of the VEGAN-TAB thread.
You'd want to get it through the store so you can get upgrades anyway

Google Currents

Hey, has anyone tested Google Currents yet? Does everything work?
Here's an apk: goo.gl/pQuEG
(I currently haven't rooted my nook, but would consider it, if that's a great reading app..)
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
This apk doesn't work, it needs a newer android version.
I see, thanks for testing!
Has anyone tried installing it from the market?
But maybe the app isn't that usefull (on the nook) anyways..
You know by "apk doesn't work", that means it doesn't work, right?
You could modify the manifest...but Google probably needs some things for 2.2 for it. They don't seem to artificial "inflate" the version number...
Yeah, I know, thanks for the clarification, anyways!
I would have liked the app, because it supports paged reading of rss feeds! is there another app that does this?

There are many rss readers out there. It just depends how much you want to see the page refresh. Search rss in the market.
Current looks a like like Feedly, fyi
For fun, I decided to take a stab at getting this installed on the Nook Touch because I like this app too on my handset...
I was able to decrypt the app and change the minimum SDK required to Android 2.1, repackaged the app and resigned.
I got the app installed on my NST but it doesn't boot - just crashes. (I have Gapps on here and my other Gapps work)
It probably has other requirements that are apart of Android 2.2 but just wanted to give it a shot at any rate

SeeMe GPS Real Time Tracker [2.1+]

New realtime web tracking system, runs on any phone 2.1+
You can send links to people you want to share your position with. Has configurable "update" times and shows last update/update interval/battery status on the web tracking page (useful for example when you are outside, roaming wilderness for many hours and need to save those last 10% of battery by turn long update interval - people watching you do not freak out, why didn't you move for a long time).
Current status: works, I am optimizing the GPS usage for battery savings.

Had to move this to the Paid Apps forum

It does, over Wifi.
I am the author of this app and have one question - did you ever clicked on ads in this app? I am just trying to make a kind of "Survey" between users to know, which way to go. I have the paid version, but it doesn't sell well, so I made the Ad-supported version, listed in Google Play for free, but not many people click the ads.
What do you think? Do you think, that having the app free, supported with ads is viable option for me?
Does this application allows recording and upload tracks?
I`m looking for app like old GPSed for iOS and Blackberry.

No, it just allows realtime tracking for now.

For the most part if I use and like an app, I will get the paid version. Outside of that, I don't see the ads, and I would not click on them if I did.
Via my HTC Rezound
It is strange. They have stopped showing for some reason, I have experienced it on my devices several times. I'll look into that
hmmm. great app, starting to download now. thanks
Not sure about this time tracking application. We had been using Replicon's time tracking product suite which is an easy to use cloud based solution. It has a simple to use calendar view interface, great features for usability and unparalleled back up support too. NO issues till date, had been quite efficient and productive tool.

Looking forwark to seeing and app like that
nice application, ang i want to tray this. thanks
Nice app... but
I just downloaded your free version to see how it worked before purchasing and have a question.
In your description it says you can send links by email but there is no option through the phone app to send links at all. The only place I seen that offers any type of links to send is on the website. I think this option should be offered through the phone app.
Is this something you plan on adding?

{Info] YouTube Go

so YouTube has been announced and is slowly rolling out in India. YouTube goes seems to be a viable Tubemate replacement with all the little bugs that crop up in tubemate. YouTube Go will seemingly be for videos only but we'll hope that changes since it's has not launched yet.
Here is some info on it for you people (clarification: when I say you people I don't mean black people)
You can sign up for the service here
You can read about the Official blog post here
Hopefully someone find that helpful! :victory: and if you find a legit apk post a link below & i'll update the OP.

I find arkTube to the best so far

It works with the youtube app so no need for switching to tubemate if you find a video you want to download.

ArkTube is nice but it's also a paid app. YouTube Go will be free on launch.
Edit--I should've read a little more. I was thinking this is a 3rd party app but I was off. Thinking this wont be available in the USA?

Hmmm it's possible considering the purpose of the app but either way we can just grab the apk once it's available and reap the same benefits.
cuz to be honest, I can't afford an unlimited plan so using Youtube Go on WiFi would be just perfect!
Just an update if anyone is following this... app is still in "coming soon" phase.

If anyone is still interest, it's available on ApkMirror.
Tried the app. Runs smooth and snappy. Can we mod this app in order to make it more data usage & battery friendly ?
1. Amoled black instead of white
2. White font instead of black
3. Instead of showing the video, can we only show the thumbnail.
It would be great.
How do I get this app on Nexus 6P running 8.1 Oreo? I die loaded but it said it's not for my phone and directs me to the Playstore but then it says not available
