PROJECT GREPINFO


INTRODUCTION

  • Project Name: GrepInfo
  • Purpose:  An automated framework for retrieving device specifications.
  • Developed In Purpose: Python
  • Specification to be Collected:
    1. Hardware Specifications
    2. Software Specifications
    3. CPU Specifications
    4. Memory Specifications
    5. Display Specifications

 

ROOTED VS NON- ROOTED DEVICES

Rooted Devices:

  • Rooted devices are like super-powered phones that let you change almost anything you want.
  • You can customize your phone to do things it couldn't do before, like making it faster or removing apps you don't need.

Non-Rooted Devices:

  • Non-rooted devices are like regular phones that stick to the rules set by the phone's maker.
  • They're safer and more stable, but you can't tweak them as much as rooted phones.

 

TYPES OF DEVICES FOR RETRIEVING SPECS

1. Commercial Devices (Non-Rooted Devices):

  • Description: Standard smartphones or tablets bought from stores, operating without modifications.
  • Access: Limited info via basic commands like adb shell, getprop, and apps

2. Lab Devices (Rooted Devices):

  • Description:  Android devices in research labs or development centers, with root access.
  • Access: Root privileges for extensive exploration and data extraction.

CONCLUSION

The grepinfo project shows how Python and regular expressions can be used to quickly and accurately extract mobile phone specifications . By automating this process, we save time and reduce mistakes compared to doing it manually.

MobiSpec Analyzer

v Project :   I have been part of a project is called MobiSpec Analyzer. v Purpose : Its purpose is to extract detailed information about various phone properties using adb commands, compare the specs across multiple phones, and analyze which phone is superior in different aspects. The results were presented through summary reports in Excel and JSON formats. v Initial Approach : Initially, we extracted all the information manually by executing commands in the command-line interface. This included gathering data on CPU specs, hardware details, battery properties, and display specifications.  Phone properties were extracted manually using adb commands and grep in the command-line interface. Commands were executed individually to retrieve CPU specs, hardware details, battery properties, camera specifications and so on. Each property required separate commands, leading to repetitive execution for each device. Data outputs were stored in multiple files, one for each device, c...

MobiSpec Analyzer SDLC

The SDLC involves planning the project, gathering requirements, designing the system, coding the software, testing it for issues, deploying it to users, and maintaining it post-release. Each phase ensures the software meets user needs and functions correctly, from start to finish. Stage-1: Planning and Requirement Analysis Planning: Define the project goals: Automate the extraction of phone properties, enabling the comparison of multiple phone specs and determining the superior phone in various aspects, with results presented through summary reports in Excel and JSON formats. Identify stakeholders: Developers, end-users, and potential clients. Conduct feasibility study: Assess technical feasibility which involves evaluating if the project can effectively use available technology and resources. Economic feasibility assesses if the project's benefits justify the costs associated with developing and maintaining the automation framework. Risk analys...
