Diannne, Can you please let me know the procedure to register my own application with the platform cert of that system which gives me access to the system permissions.

[android-developers] Re: Application as root
I'm trying to run the factory application i.e. GlobalTime where one EGL API eglCreateWindowSurface is used. The Vendor provided EGL library call is only working with root access. It is not a third party application. Also the SystemServer initiates SurfaceFlinger. In this case the above EGL API is working fine in SurfaceFlinger. I believe this is because SystemServer is started as root. Regards, Manjunath On Mar 29, 3:46 pm, a2ronus aaron.jan...@gmail.com wrote: Hello Dianne, I have a question related to this.
