Restricting Clipboard does nothing #857
Comments
It seems that the stock (based) Samsung ROMs don't use the standard Android clipboard manager. |
|
@kaizokan can you please capture a logcat with the just released test version 1.10.34 and post it here? |
|
|
For some reason Samsung uses a custom clipboard manager: |
|
I see. If eventually cannot be fixed is it possible to let XPrivacy recognize rom type and grey out the clipboard permission or something else to let the user know. |
|
Don't worry, I will fix this :-) |

@kaizokan could you please try if this version fixes your problem: http://d-h.st/4Wc Please capture a log (whether it works or not). |
|
Please try this newer version: http://d-h.st/IIe |
|
Still nothing. |
|
Samsung even invented an own service name: clipboardEx. |
|
Can you please try this version: http://d-h.st/cDk |
|
Good for Samsung! 😆 |
|
So it does work now? |
|
nooo not yet, i don't know yet but isn't that 1.10.35?? the same? |
|
not working |
|
:-( I like to see the lines after the first ever '... getSystemService clipboardEx= ...'. |
|
You can try with an application you didn't start after the last boot yet. |
|
This part?: |
|
Yes, that part. |
|
these are the first lines after reboot and opening a app for first time after reboot. |
|
i accidentally closed... but now it's open again |

(This default browser, which works) 12-05 17:13:02.384 I/XPrivacy/XClipboardManager(21748): get 10069/hasPrimaryClip clipboard=restricted (cached) (This is app that doesn't work) 12-05 17:23:20.776 I/XPrivacy/XContextImpl(22228): getSystemService clipboardEx=android.sec.clipboard.ClipboardExManager uid=10138 Your right, any app using (android.sec.clipboard.ClipboardExManager) don't block clipboard. |
|
I think there already is an XPosed module do the trick? Maybe you can take a look? |
|
@jokies point me to a module that has this working and I will take a look. |
|
It was called Secure Samsung Clipboard by Tungstwenty, provided within the XPosed installer. |

XPrivacy shows it restricted getPrimaryClip yet pastes the item from clipboard: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hcv7tp6pgokl6jq/Screenshots_2014-03-02-23-35-45.png |

Not sure why this issue was closed, since its still present under Limitations on main wiki. Also, my own tests show that Samsung made their own clipboard, so that multiple clips are remembered. However, there are hidden files in that directory AND even if you erase them, the clips are retained in memory and seem to get rewritten, just before device shutdown/reset, to be reloaded at startup. |
|
The issue was closed because it can't be fixed. Moreover it is less relevant, because the clipboard restrictions will work in AOSP mode. |

Restricting clipboard permission does nothing not even show up in the "Usage data" screen. This does not apply for everyone it maybe is because of the Device or Rom
