hi am in a search of an app that can control and let me decide which app to use 3g or wifi or both like in miui rom help me even have no problem with paid version
Sent From Somewhere In The Streets Of INDIA.
I used LBE privacy guard, with which you can controll everything the app wants to have access to! It stopped working in jb (maybe allready on ics) (causes reboot)! So you better make a backup before installing it or look in the changelog if its compatable!
any other suggestion

Try AFWall+ - an iptables frontend GUI. You need to be rooted for it of course,

Try Root firewall
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Avast free have a firewall function that let you choose what app can use wifi or 3g. You need a rooted phone.
Battery Control
hey,
I used Juice Defender for along time. It even remembers the places of often used networks, such as work.
and firewall, but as already said, root's needed.

It looks like they (AT&T) removed the option to tether or use my phone as a hot spot! Can someone please help with finding another way around this. I need to use my phone as a modem. My Captivate has been rooted but I dont know wut to do now.
try EasyTether app. you can find it in the market
EasyTether is no longer on market!
I'm looking for the same thing for as close to free as possible. I tried downloading the file off google/android (i can't think if the exact file right nite) but for whatever reason it keeps saying I don't have permission when in reality I'm rooted and have rom manger but running stock everything . Any advise?!?

If you are rooted, most of the froyo roms have tethering and mobile internet access point with them
Maybe you could try market enabler from the market and make it think you have T-Mobile or something cause att blocks out mostly all tethering apps. I read that works although I have T-Mobile and haven't had anything blocked so I have not tested personally.

I have Andromeda 2.1 on my Captivate, and so far as I know, it doesn't have a tethering app preinstalled. I'm going to ask and find out, and a few other questions I have, as soon as I get to the 10 post limit! gah...
Anyway, before I installed Andromeda, I was running the stock ROM rooted with wifi tether from the google code page. The app would run, but I could not connect to it (though I was trying on my Tab). Comes to find out that the wifi tether app creates an ad-hoc network, with the Tab won't connect too. I need to get an AP app. Still working on that solution (though I haven't had much time to test it).
Paragon 5.1 ROM has tethering.

Well, as already said most custom roms have these options built in under Settings > Wireless & Network... But in lieu of flashing an entirely new ROM for one feature, you could simply download barnacle wifi from the market.
In the event that it's not in your market (hadn't heard of carriers being able to remove certain apps from the market) I'm sure you can find the apk (the extension of Android App Installers) via google.
After long wait, LBE Privacy Guard v2 is finally available!
V2 has a completely rewritten core service, which makes it faster than previous version and consumes less memory.
However, due to the rewritten core service, the database format is completely different. So it's not possible to keep your configuration while upgrade.
Besides, LBE Privacy Guard v2 has changed package name (from com.lbe.security to com.lbe.security.lite), after you install new version, please uninstall older version.
---------------------
Change log for Version 2.0.1001
0. Fixed compatibility issue for custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod 7.1
1. Completely redesigned service framework with lesser battery drain and less memory usage.
2. Dual firewall support: Uid firewall for Android 2.1 and eariler, iptables firewall for Android 2.2 and later. iptables firewall allows you to configure 3G/WIFI permission separately.
3. Changing app permission now takes effect immediately, app restart is no longer required.
4. New traffic monitor allows you to track 3G/WIFI daily usage for each app on your phone. (you can turn it off if you don't need it).
5. Improved compatibility with Root Call Blocker
---------------------
Requirements
**NEEDS ROOT**
Works on Android 2.0 and above.
Tested on 100+ different devices and firmwares, but not tested on Android 3.0 and 3.1 devices.

I missed this so much and am glad to hear it works with cm7 now. It is available on the market on my HTC thunderbolt but It states that my Moto Xoom is incompatible. But it does work on the Xoom if I go to the site directly and download the apk.
Is it possible to manage LBE itself?
Can Android Firewall still be used as firewall and LBE only for permissions?

Thanks to the new design, although not recommended, you can actually monitor (and even block) LBE itself.
Personally I would recommend LBE's built-in firewall, but feel free to use any firewall app you want, LBE should work with them.

You say you haven't tested in on tablets, so here's my experience on an ASUS Transformer 3.2 with Prime: The application keeps saying "your phone is protected" every 5 seconds. It also crashes after I try to change the settings for an app and press the back button.
Curious: Why don't you test for? Can't you use the emulator? Or isn't that possible for apps that need root?
Ability to turn off bandwidth usage on the notification bar would be nice. Also, don't specify the text colour for the text on the notification bar. Thanks!
Can anyone provide a direct download link to the APK? Thanks very much.

LBE Privacy Guard
Nice, trying this out now.Thx
Very nice. It's good to see an app developed with privacy in mind.
I'm testing it right now, so far so good.
thanks for putting an off-market version
I prefer to use droidwall for firewall/iptables configuration...
However, even if you turn off the firewall in lbe there are a ton of lbe settings that keep getting written in the iptables.
Even after I format iptables the lbe settings get rewritten the next time lbe is run.
I will not be using this unless this is fixed.
Hi. somehow it stopped working for me.

Best app ever!!
Great update. However, Dolphin Browser HD 7.0.2 does not work. The app is unable to access the internet both via WiFi or 3G. Permissions could also not be set because it's neither listed in the monitored nor trusted app lists. Refreshing the app list didn't help. Anyone else having this issue?
Update: I discovered that denying internet access to Dolphin's desktop toggle plugin causes the browser not to be able to connect (perhaps because the browser agent could not be sent thru the plugin). STILL, Dolphin is nowhere to be found in the app list. I wonder if that's got something to do with the browser's privacy issues which you can read more about here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319529&page=3
Update 2: Removing the pluggins installed made the browser show up in the app list.
if any one tried an anti theft app and works good with him at ics please tell us about it
cause i tried androidlost and it is a great app but it cant open gps nor wifi and sms actions doesnt work !! and it cant track my tab and tried avast and it is less functional so i need an app that i can completely control the tab remotly by internet or by sms !!! and i tried some other apps but no big deal
im using aokp build 40
btw i want a free app cause i cant buy any apps since im in egypt and these service isnt allowed here
is there any possible way to open gps remotly by any app ? or even the app use mobile data to get my location cause it is a must for me
Hello, not quite sure if this will help, but you could leave this app running.
Google Latitude location-sharing app.
Might not be secure, but you can look it up and decide for your self, came with my tab pre-installed.
Search in Google Play....
I had once seen an app which runs on sms things...If u send one sms to the phone you have lost then the alarm gets activated....You can do much more with that....Don't remember which one it was but the reviews were good
already i have an app called androidlost ... awesome app but there are 2 essential feature didnt work for me " enabling gps and wifi - some sms commands " so i want any one running aokp build 40 to try the app it is free and tel me what happend
There are actually plenty of such apps available in the market but the good ones will cost money. Just look up for phone locator. I have phone locator pro and that works like a charm.

Hi all, plz sum1 tell me HOW TO RESTRICT AN APP FROM ACCESSING THE INTERNET?
Especially when connected to carrier network, not wifi
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
You can restrict access for apps using pdroid.it lets you set limits on each app. I believe it might be what your looking for. I have used it and it lets you set permissions for each app. You can find it by going to android development and hacking, then go to android apps and games, look in there and you will find pdroid.not exactly sure to what extent you can set the permissions, but I think it would be the best app to try. I'm pretty sure you can do what your needing to do with that app. It's worth a try. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
Setting -->> more --->> usage
Set data usage limit and click app which u want to restrict data and enable background restrict data . .
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
PDroid is fantastic and is an absolute solution. The problem with it is that isn't not super easy to install. It has to be put into a ROM when it's compiled. It can't be simply flashed as an add on.
It's available in OpensationSensation 2 which is CM10 and is set up and ready to use upon install of the ROM.
But if switching to CM10 isn't the best option for you then Itsakash's option is an easy to do and good option. And it will completely stop the app from accessing mobile data. The only downside is that it doesn't stop access to wifi, if that's an issue for you. What this won't let you do easy is restrict all app except the web browser like you indicated in your other thread.
If you need all but 1 app restricted form mobile data use, use an app from the PlayStore called DroidWall (or search out similar apps that you might like better. Search for 'internet firewall' in the PlayStore). These kinds of apps are a filter of sorts that requires all internet connectivity to go through the firewall app, and the app can shut off access to either wifi or mobile data or both. And it works like a charm.
It comes with a price in that it's a constantly running background app so there MAY be some battery or performance drain, though it should be very minor if it's noticeable at all. It's definitely worth trying to see if it works for you though. You can always uninstall the app if it doesn't meet your needs.
Also, please don't create multiple threads asking the same question. This forum is full of people who will be happy to help you. But this is not 24/7 tech support. If your question isn't answered right away, give it some time. Someone will help you (as you can see here)
Thanks all, i'll try out

As the user above stated Droidwall is what you need Its a full android firewall. You can select what to allow (white list mode) and what to block( blacklist mode) both over WiFi and 3g separately and best of all its free + no ads. I haven't had a rom without it since froyo
So I know that in the Orbot settings you can choose what apps to run trough tor or to choose all apps but when Orbot is closed the apps can still run normally. Is there a way to FORCE an app to only run trough Orbot or not work at all?
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
I think the easiest way to force the app to use Orbot would be to have Orbot run automatically at startup using Startup Manager (in the Play Store). I've not had issues with it thus far. If you have a device with decent specs it shouldn't impact performance too much.

Is there no file on the app folder i could edit to specify the ports to use? Someothing like that is what I was thinking. Basicly I want it so if I accidently open the app without Orbot running there would be no information sent or received from the app.
Use a firewall and allow just orbot and prolly playstore internet access since they might temp block your account due to 'suspicious use.' All apps blocked behind the firewall, if torified, will pass traffic through orbot.
