Hi guys. i installed a firewall on my phone, and i just wanted to ask as to what basic stuff i need to allow to use internet.
What i mean is that i have firefox on the phone, and if i block everything and only allow firefox, i cant browse internet. but if i turn off the firewall, i can browse normally.
So i was just wondering what else i need to allow to use firefox.
i hope you guys get what i am trying to ask here.
You could try opening ports 80 (default http) and 443 (default https), but isn't your question better directed to the maker of the firewall?
ok got it to work, instead of blacklisting, i did white listing, and it worked well.
advisable for anyone who wants security to give it a try
if you would firewall your pc, then why not your phone?

Which firewall application did you use? I tried Android Firewall, but it would crash all the time, and it would not store or display activity logs. I previously used Droidwall on my original Incredible running CM7 (Gingerbread) and it seemed to work very well with the white listing of applications.
I removed Android Firewall from the Dinc 4G today and have no idea if anything else out there will work on ICS or Jellybean

Hey, just a quick question. How can I get ad blocking back on this rom... tried different host files with no luck. Any help will be great. I'm running MIUI FascinateMTD 1.7.15 w/ Glitch 11.1
have you tried ad blocker on android market?
Yea, no go

ad blocker seems to work for me what app is it not working in??
I use wireless tethering and theoretically the ad blocking should carry over into what I do on my PC but its not.

No it shouldn't, that's not how host files work. Host files is for local (i.e. that specific machine) lookup only, before it asks a remote DNS server. Your tethered computer will never go anywhere near your phone's host file.
If you want to block ads on the tethered computer, you could always block the ads in that computer's host file. Or use AdBlock in the browser. Or find some way to manually configure the phone's iptables install to drop those connections/reroute them (an overly complicated "solution").
Thanks! Ended up just doing a Firefox Add-on

Same here ad blocker acts like it works (installing new host) but I still have ads everywhere.
AdFree App... Hidden in the words
After you update your hosts file the app CLEARLY says..
Your Android device should now be AdFree, however you might need to reboot to clear your DNS cache.

Judging by the 15k 5 star reviews.. you might be missing something..

Exactly how is it not working? What makes you say that? More information might help us track down any issue you're having.
Those things won't block all ads, because it only blacklists certain domains. Any ads built directly into the app (i.e. that the app doesn't have to fetch from a remote server) won't be blocked. Ads from smaller ad networks might also not be blocked, as well as many ads on websites (often blacklisting based on the host file can't block the ad without also blocking legit content).

The native hotspot doesn't work. I'm running Wireless Tether 3.0 beta... once installed you will need to go into the apps settings and change the profile from Auto to Fascinate.... For some reason there is still a unresolved issue with utilizing the AP over Ad-Hoc. So you have to stick with Ad-hoc.

Like ALL the ads that used to be blocked are not blocked any more.
This isn't really in the wrong section (I had to think about it a sec).
I cannot get ad free to run correctly, and YES, I am running temp-root without issue.
It installs fine and has asked for (and received) SU permissions.
Downloads and installs the hosts file just fine.
I still have those annoying arsed ads all over the place. Yep tried rebooting, re-rooting, all of that.
Is it due to the proxy sprint uses, the ability to only temp-root, the fact that this hardware is so new and might not be supported by the program (which should really be transparent to the program).....or is it just gingerbread wants you to be spammed to death and has blocked adfree from running right ?!?!?
Input anyone ?
Bueller ?

That's quite an interesting request, I don't know of any bullet-proof solutions but turning account sync off and using a task manager to kill all non-essential running apps should mean that no apps attempt to use mobile data.
I've not used one but I'd imagine there are application level firewalls available for rooted phones, maybe someone else has experience with one?
Would be interesting to know which apps you want blocked?

thanks for the reply.
in perspective ive gone from a LG p500 to a i9305t haha huge jump for me.
ive only just rooted it and installed a custom rom so now i dont have no samsung bloatware running or any other non useful things running cause they didnt come with my rom . yeah i dont ever auto sync and since ive asked this i tick restrict background data while on wifi so pretty much alll my apps arent using BG data. now the only problem with a heavy task killer is it will kill my alarm all the time welln it used to on the p500. so i would have to install unistall everytime or freeze it i have rom manager pro i like the task manager in there. ill get on my phone and screenshot you whats in there after this maybe you could tell me whats actually running and whats not would be great.but from the looks of it barely anything i usually only play f1 2012 and ops 2 online so i want as much as possible incase lol. since the new rom its changed dramatically in my task manager.
application level firewall. what would that do mate?OH and also. i have TWO cpu/battery profiles in rom manager. one set for SCREEN OFF wihich i have it use 700mhz max 200 min and SCREEN ON max all the way. would that effect my active hotspot in anyway?like is being restricted by having that profile set?WAIT its always on charge while wifi is on. so if i make a new profile for when the charger is plugged in it shuold be set to full. but the screen would be off? so would those profiles clash in some way?thats why i only set 2 didnt wanna make it mess with the cpu all the time. sorry lol any help with anything is GREATLY appreaciated. im only registered on here so ill always be here now.

Hi all, already searched and found a few old threads but none with a working apk or zip. Anyone get Teamviewer remote working with the Galaxy S5, either with stock rom or running CM11? I'm currently running CM11 but can't seem to find any modified apks or zips working with Teamviewer remote control. The rest of Teamviewer works great, can see the screen, remove apps/processes, etc. Just no remote. If this one isn't working anyone else get any of the VNC remotes working so I can see/control my phone from a computer?

I've used VNC hundreds of times before without any issues. Its paid so i can't give you the apk but here is the playstore link. There are other free versions but they require root (this version uses a root method also which i use) but i don't know if you have root or not.

Hmm, that's too bad. I tried it, the server refuses to start on the phone, even though the PC app see's the phone just fine and issues commands for it to start. Phone is rooted, CM11 Unified ROM, server just won't start. Strange.

Agreed, there are a ton of them. Tried about 8 of them, almost all completely fail, closest I got was one that would open a window on my PC of the phone screen, but it was all fuzzy, looked like how the cable company would scramble stations years ago. Tried a few different resolutions and orientations, at a bit of a loss at this point. Got TeamViewer to show the screen but cant interact with it. Grrr!

I wonder if something itsn't right in CM11? Have you tried it on a TouchWiz ROM?
Just use Samsung sync. You can control the phone over wifi or via therering. Works really well.

I am trying to set this up tonight as well.
Hi, I have an app which looks like the developer has removed their servers so it always fails the "internet connection" check.
Its IONROAD. A AR driving app.
I paid for the PRO version so its all good. I use an older version not the latest as I hate the latest version.
99% of the app is using the GPS or the camera. It does check the internet for the weather and a few little things.
I've tried it at home while connected to wireless, in the car while connected to Mobile Data, I've uninstalled, reinstalled and updated and all versions fail the internet checks. To me it looks like they closed their servers so the app refuses to work without the internet so it will never work again.
What I want to do is remove that internet check so it will keep working without the need for their servers. If it never connects to the internet it doesn't bother me. I dont care for the current weather in a AR driving app, I care for how close the car in front of me is or if i'm drifting out of the lane I'm in. Absolutely nothing to do with the internet so how do I remove that check?
I have the APK, trying to get it into the Android SDK and not sure how? Even if I do get it there what do I remove?
All I want is that internet check removed. As I said I paid for the app so the licence check always passes as I paid for it.
The dev has abandoned the app, they refuse to reply or update. As they closed their servers I'm guessing they totally abandoned the app.
Any help what to remove and how to remove it? Is it an easy unzip, edit a file then zip and reinstall? Or is it a complete import into SDK, rebuild, test, etc and make a whole new app?
I'm not sure what or how to edit it.
Thanks

It is not a simple matter as it would require ripping the app apart and searching through smali code for the server stuff to be removed. As that is what it is doing. It uses their servers to send the weather and a few other things. Now that their servers are off you can bet that it wont be working for long as it will also use other info for things connected to the gps.

The app refuses to work completely. As soon as it loads up it says there is no internet and closes. Thats why I want to remove the need for their servers and internet.
I was hoping there might be some sort of offline mode built in I could enable or remove the "no internet connection" error so it never fails.
Go have a look at the app and you will see you cant do anything as it fails the internet check when the app loads. As they have closed the servers then they have abandoned the app so we can do what we want with it as they obviously dont care about it anymore.
The problem I have is its the best AR driving app there is for android and as they abandoned it there is nothing to replace it with as all the others are crap.
Hi, similar problem to the GoPro app where internet connection is required. I would also really like to remove the internet checking and although the app is free are we getting in to the areas of cracking?
Please update this if you get somewhere.

Just because they abandon it doesn't meant that they might not throw a fit at having it edited. I'll take a look at the decompiled apk. I have a feeling that everything it does will be tied to the servers so even if we did stop it from checking the servers the stuff you want might still not work.

Great thanks.
When the app worked it was mainly GPS and camera stuff, It would get the weather from the server and it does keep a log at the server so it will send a result at the end but while your driving I doubt it does anything with the server as I've been to some places without phone reception and it still worked fine.
Maybe there is only a check when it loads up that we need to remove?

Not sure what happened? the link did work. Here are new links. Oh, the forum changes the links and breaks them.
I could have more luck if I knew what apps to use.
How do you decrypt apps?
What should I edit and look for when its decrypted? (I'm guessing a link to the website or something like that?)
How do I encrypted it again and pack it back into a working APK?
I've tried a few apps and had no luck.

There are tons of tutorials on how to decompile the app. You will need a pc. As for what to look for. That is hit or miss really. As it is in smali and not Java. Also there could be safe guards that if the code is removed then the app won't work. Also some apps can't be decompiler at all as they self destruct if they are.

Anyone having a go at seeing if they can remove the connection to internet requirement?
I want to keep using v1.6.3 but I did find v1.5.1 works with only a random internet check. For my last 10 min drive it checked 3 times but I did do a 15 min drive and it never checked the whole time.
As their servers are down it will always fail if it checks.
If you know where to look you will find all different versions. I wont post where but they are available. 1.6.3 to me is the best, its the most stable, has the best features but its got the internet checks which need to be removed before you can use it as it checks at the start and closes as it cant connect to their servers.

No I mean if you use it with gps only the app should not try to connect with the servers because it checks the network status to see if there is internet connection...

the app always tries to connect to their servers at startup. as they closed the servers it always fails and the app closes.
if you turn mobile data off it also fails and closes the app.
we need to remove the check so the app will work again.
