Droidwall still shows avast Anti-theft instead of custom name
« on: December 30, 2012, 01:01:00 PM »
I installed avast Anti-theft in stealth mode on my rooted Galaxy S2 using a custom name for the app. But I see in Droidwall (my firewall) it still shows up as avast anti-Theft instead of the name I chose for the app.

Have I done something wrong with the installation or is this a bug with AAT? It basically defeats the point of the stealth install.

Yes, rebooting doesn't change it. Stilling showing up as AAT instead of my custom name.

EDIT: fixed typo - doesn't

Also noticed that the app is listed as com.avast.android.antitheft.apk under /system/app.

Should that not be the custom name I chose when installing AAT?

i just know that droidwall has some cache for app names, maybe the app name is still cached there. also are you sure you chose a custom name? i am sure droidwall is not able to guess names :-)

I definitely set a custom name because LBE Privacy guard displays AAT under the custom name I set so the custom name has been set. If Droidwall is using a cache I don't know and I can't see anywhere in the app to clear the cache.

What about the apk in /system/app/? Is that supposed to have the custom name too or the AAT name (com.avast.android.antitheft.apk)?

the apk file does not contain the name "avast! Anti-Theft" so it MUST be cached because DroidWall cant guess the name.

OK, I'll clear the Droidwall cache and see if that sorts the problem.
