SwitchMe - An Android first
Welcome to SwitchMe, an application for root users that allows you to log in and out of your device just as you would on a personal computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of
an account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain
few apps, others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles in without games or messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
SwitchMe explained
In order to start using the application, you must create at least two profiles. The first you create will contain all your current data, the second will be a
fresh installation of the operating system.
Once you have created a second profile and booted into it, you will be presented with the Welcome screen, where you can add a new Google Account.
After you have set up your wireless connection and logged into the Google Account, you will find that SwitchMe comes preinstalled so that you can switch
back to the original account without needing to access the Market.
Advanced users can also clone their current profile - this can be useful if, for example, you want to see how the installation or removal of an application
affects your device.
Recommended usage
The most basic use for SwitchMe is creating multiple profiles for your family members. To do this, create separate profiles for yourself, for your significant
other and for the kids. Then log into these profiles and install the relevant software.
For your wife, for example, you can set up an email account and create bookmarks and widgets. For the kids, download and install some games.
From now on, handing your device over without worrying about them reading your emails or installing lots of junk is as simple as switching profiles.
Usage warning
Its very important to understand that incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. This can happen if you create and switch to
a profile that exceeds the available memory - switching into this profile will cause a boot loop as Android attempts to unsuccessfully build the Dalvik cache.
Before proceeding the use we recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through recovery.
Looking forward
These are early days for SwitchMe, which means that a lot of additional functionality will be added to the app in the months to come. Planned features
include full profile encryption, profile storage on external memory and switching without the need to reboot your device.
We also plan to expand the information window to include data about each profile's applications, as well as the ability to reserve memory for profiles.
This Beta
The apk attached to this post will expire in 24 hours. Use that time to tell us if there are issues and to send logs (as always, with descriptions) via the
"Write to us" function.
Lots of functionality has been removed from this version, but will be added over the coming days.
Screens:
Known issues
Help doesnt work outside main screen
Persistent notification doesnt enable in new profiles
Hot switch not working on ICS (almost fixed, currently unavailable)
Encryption doesnt work (only password protection atm)
Sweet! Going to try it.
This allows me to have multiple chars on 1 device for games also? (like Emross War or the Storm8 games?)
edit: Sended my first crash log allready
Yes. I see there is an issue with the trial...
This is a brilliant idea! If you can add a feature to disable su for accounts it would be great.
For my use, I would probably have a default account that has limited access and limited apps. It should not have su or the ability to install new apps via the Market or via adb. The second account would be an admin account with everything enabled. I'm very interested in the encryption features as well. This and a password protected bootloader combined will keep my phone pretty locked down
Hi guys. Sorry I'm on a tablet ATM, so you'll have to use this filehost link for the next few hours. The apk has been updated:
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-beac0342.html
Okay this is what I've seen so far:
At first launch it asks me to create a profile, works fine.
When pressing the lock icon in the top right-hand corner it crashes.
The 3 dots open the settings page, and the notification icon works fine.
I can't seem to figure out how to create a 2nd profile?
When opening my profile I don't see any data in there, it just says "Details" in the top left-hand corner. It has the 3 dot setting icon thing, when I press settings, nothing happens. When I press the lock icon it crashes.
To view the details of my profile I have to hold-press on my profile in the main screen and then select details. Now I see some bars and I can put a password on my profile with the lock icon, settings still don't work. After you've done this, you don't have to press details anymore unless you restart the application. By pressing the activate button when I long-press on my profile it also allows me to see the details when I click on my profile.
A lot has to be done, but the concept is there, good job!!

Thats what happens when people code at 4am from home. All shall be fixed today - they are just cosmetic issues.
THREAD CLOSED FOR NOW, A NEW ONE WILL BE OPENED LATER TODAY.
I've written this guide for those interested in the new x86 port of Honeycomb. The hardware side of x86 is a bit tricky so not every machine works out of the box, but most of the basics should work.
I will follow up with my attempts at rooting this device. Previous x86 builds of Android had root enabled but it appears these ones don't.
Android 3.2 x86 Review
PXD Thread Corporation China Tablet
1.6Ghz Intel Atom/1GB RAM/60GB HDD/10.1" Capacitive Screen
Before you install decide whether you will be multi-booting or running Android exclusively. If you are multi-booting, check out the many threads on various forums and Google.
Step 1: Download latest Android 3.2 from android-x86.org. Don't download anything from androidx86.org as they are out of date and merely copy what is posted elsewhere. When downloading Android 3.2, download an appropriate version for your hardware. If you have a tablet with a touchscreen, grab the Tegra release. If you have an EEEPC, grab the EEPC release. There is a generic version for any old hardware. Note that I have only installed Android on x86 Intel. I have not tried with AMD.
Make sure your HDD has no partitions. The Android installer is very picky about partitions. If you boot using a Windows 7 install DVD and choose "Repair Computer" and open Command Prompt, these are the basic commands to wipe your disk. (Backup First!!!)
diskpart
list disk
(usually disk 0 is always your internal, but check list to make sure just in case you have external plugged in)
select disk 0
clean
exit
Ignore any diskpart errors, the clean command will have cleaned enough for Android to work.
Boot into Android installer. Select disk partitioner. You will use arrow keys and Enter to navigate. Highlight "New" and make new partition. Now highlight "Bootable" and hit Enter. Then you MUST highlight "Write" as so far the partitioner is just visualizing everything. It will ask you to type "yes" to confirm. Once complete you can highlight Quit and go back to Android installer.
Format partition as Ext2. If you want read/write access for debug you can enable that. But note this is development only, it doesn't give you root or other ability. Say yes you want to install GRUB. You can optionally make a fake SD card, once I figure out how to make it active it will make things run smoother for you. Many apps refuse to run without SD. (The x86 info pages on developers website have old info posted that dates back to android 1.6, so I need to see if updated info exists as far as mounting fake SD.img)
Ethernet is broken in many builds, but WiFi does work for a select few chipsets. Mine is a AR5B95 Half Height and WiFi works out of box.
If WiFi works for you latest builds should have complete Market Access (The Tegra does for sure as that's what I'm using) so you can login using Google id. Once you login with your id you will see an application crash, it's Exchange Services process. This is a bug, it can't be fixed but everything still works. You can check gmail, go to market, etc.
Do note when you access the market, you will not see the full market like your phone sees it. It seems the Tegra (and possibly other) builds are tagged as "Tablet" so Android Market filters and only shows "tablet approved" apps.
The good news about the x86 branch is that USB Flash support is there so you can put files, APK's on a USB flash drive and use File Manager to browse to /mnt/USB/. If your USB device is not recognized, did you have it plugged in while booting? Android won't always see it that way. Unplug and plug back in and Vold should catch it.
Don't try and install launchers, as the system may not allow you to select them and leave the system in a rather awkward position. Workaround: If you do try a launcher and you can't get back home, click on the clock in the lower right corner and you should be able to scroll over a few options. A link to settings should be there, and from settings you can uninstall any launcher that caused a problem and start again. I did find that ICS Launcher did work, but that was the only one.
Allot of apps simply don't work. It depends how they were built. Many were built specifically for ARM CPU and so panic when run on x86.
The built in keyboard isn't that great, at least on my tablet, so you can install extra keyboard from market or directly from apk. AI Type is a good keyboard. Text prediction is a trial, but the keyboard itself is free.
My next post will be to list applications I have tried and what the status is. I have a bunch I am trying.
I also want to figure out how to enable root on the device, I may try and pick up a USB to USB cable and see if ADB can pick up the connection so I can use ZergRush and root the device. I did see an app to enable adb over wifi but it needs root..which is a chicken and egg scenario.
Compatibility Report
Android 3.2 Honeycomb x86
I'll start this report off with an interesting find, although probably not unexpected. I purchased a 64GB flash drive and it's formatted as FAT32. Android does not recognize it. My A-DATA 32GB it did recognize. Same with my Lexar 16GB.
Known Bugs:
Android x86 has bugs with default actions. If you have multiple applications that can handle various file types, normally you will receive a pop-up menu asking you to select the application you want to use. In Android 3.2 x86 this doesn't happen and instead the screen will dim as if it's trying to load the menu option.
Some applications like Documents To Go work perfect if you open them from the launcher. However if you open a document directly they will crash.
Don't queue too many apps for installation as some apps will cause x11 server (windows manager) to crash or require restart. You will notice this happen if the screen or UI elements stop responding. The screen will go black and the Android logo will shimmer on the screen as the system reset the window manager.
This list is not complete, as I have time I will test more apps. If anyone has a request that I test certain apps let me know.

Someone have tested other apps or games?
Most of you might be very much familiar with the rooting procedure. Its the process of giving yourself superuser permissions (ex - administrator in windows xp ).
If you are using a custom rom, then there is no need to specifically root your phone. But if you are using stock roms, then there is a guide to root in the forums.
Once rooted, you can now take your own decisions for your device which include improving system performance or flashing custom roms using cwm recovery or using any of these below listed apps. Use it wisely, as playing with your device performance can have damaging effects.
I AM NOT AT ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE BY YOU.
Moving on, many of the rooted-on-stock and custom rom users might already know most of these apps and their uses, so this thread is for the beginners who have just rooted their devices.
Further, most of these apps are available in the playstore (mostly paid, but if you want the cracked versions, you can find them in the internet.
So here are some of the apps that might be useful for you. I will also update this apps list as soon as, I find more useful apps.

Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear.
For discussion and support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
- MANUAL -
Flashing with Mobile ODIN is easy. You start by starting the app and the app will check your system has everything it needs to continue (like root). It may need to download an additional package, so it is advised you have Wi-Fi available.
Now you should see the main Mobile ODIN screen. It will list a set of partitions. Clicking a partition will allow you to select a file from your SD card to flash to that partition. Do not worry about selecting the wrong file - Mobile ODIN will not let you. Separate files (named after the partition) as well as .tar and .tar.md5 files are supported.
From the desktop ODIN you may be used to "PDA", "PHONE", and "CSC" buttons. All three of these buttons have been replaced by the "Open file ..." button. This button will open the file you select from the SD card, and find all the partitions it can flash inside that file. So if you select a .tar file containing kernel and modem, the Kernel and Modem partitions will be set up to use that .tar file for flashing.
Now that we have selected what we want to flash, if you have the Pro version you can proceed to the EverRoot section. The EverRoot options allows you to root your firmware while it is being flashed. Never again will you be without root! Select here which apps you want to inject in the firmware that is being flashed.
Now that we are all done selecting partitions and configuring EverRoot, we continue to "Flash firmware". Mobile ODIN will gather all the information it needs and perform the flash. Before starting, however, it will check that your battery level is over 50%, and if applicable offer to verify MD5 checksums on the files you have selected to flash. If all is well, it will reboot into recovery mode, and flash the firmware you have selected.

SETCPU for Root Users
Description
Supercharge your Android device with SetCPU. A must-have tool for root users.
SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU settings on a rooted Android phone or tablet, including the Galaxy Nexus, HTC One series, Nexus S, Nexus One, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy series, and most other devices. You're under control: SetCPU can improve your performance, save battery, or both!
Automate SetCPU with profiles! SetCPU allows you to set up powerful profiles to change your settings under certain conditions, such as what app is running, when the phone is asleep or charging, when the battery level drops below a certain point, when the phone's temperature is too high, or during certain times of day. See the screenshots for examples of how you might set up profiles.
SetCPU's wide feature set make it useful to Android beginners and enthusiasts alike. Accelerate your processor to unleash your phone's true multitasking potential, or dial your CPU's speed down to save battery.
SetCPU also includes a "voltage control" menu, available to certain devices with custom kernels that support it, to control undervolting to save even more battery. Keep in mind that undervolting is only available for certain kernels.
Recent Changes:
Additional permission: Read logs is used for efficient app condition checking. That is currently all it's used for.
3.0.0:
Profiles tab
- Completely rewrote profiles.
- Older profiles will automatically be converted into new profiles.
- Added app and day of week in addition to the older conditions, and more are coming.
- Profiles now support combining conditions under logical trees, with nestable "and," "or," and "not" operators available. It is now possible to easily build complex profiles that take the place of multiple profiles in the older version.
- Actions can now be selected individually.
- Profiles can now be marked as "non-exclusive," which means they will not block profiles with lower priorities from evaluating. In this case, the profiles with lower priorities will perform only actions which have not been performed by profiles with higher priorities. SetCPU will keep evaluating profiles until it reaches an "exclusive" profile that evaluates as true.
- All number selectors in profiles are now in the style of the frequency selector in the main tab.
- The new file extension for exported profile settings is ".setcpu.json."
- To prevent ambiguous situations, it's no longer possible to select priorities that have been used by other profiles.
- The CPU temperature sensor on OMAP4 and some other devices should now be supported for profiles. The option will appear if available.
- Notifications are now set as an action per profile and can now be non-persistent.
- SetCPU will still use the main screen as a "default profile" to set if no other profiles are active. It is now possible to specify an alternate default profile by creating an exclusive profile with no conditions at priority 0.
- SetCPU now asks for a file name before backing up profiles to storage.
- It is now possible to share profiles without having the internal/external storage mounted.
Main tab
- IO scheduler selection has been added via a drop down menu in the main tab.
Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where the short benchmark always reported 0 ms.
- Fixed the labels in the pie graph in system info.
- Fixed some common crashes.
Permissions:
Root: SetCPU needs root permissions to modify the CPU speed and other settings.
Start at boot: SetCPU will start a profiles service at boot, if enabled. It also sets default boot settings, if enabled. SetCPU does not run in the background if profiles are not enabled, and becomes inactive after settings, if any, are applied.
Wake lock: This prevents the phone from sleeping while stress testing and benchmarking.
Write external storage: SetCPU needs to read from and write to the SD card or internal storage to back up profiles.

[root] CHAINFIRE3D
Description
Chainfire3D - Take control of your GPU (OpenGL) !
Take control over your GPU!
Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality.
!! For Froyo and Gingerbread ONLY. NOT COMPATIBLE with Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean !!
!! Chainfire3D is for 1ghz+ devices only !!
!! ROOT is required for this program, as well as a writable /system partition. S-OFF is also required on HTC devices !!
Features include reducing texture size and quality to reduce memory use and potentially increase game performance, as well as increasing memory use potentially increase performance.
If you also install the (experimental) EGL driver, AND your GPU supports it, AND you have the Pro version, you can enable 4xMSAA or 16xMSAA on a per-app bases. This can drastically improve image quality!
Be sure to check the thread on XDA for available plugins !
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427 )
Chainfire3D has been tested on:
- HTC HD2
- Samsung Galaxy S
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"
- Samsung Galaxy S II
- Samsung Galaxy Note
- Samsung Epic 4G
- Motorola Atrix 4G
- Motorola Droid 2
- LG Optimus 2X
- Google Nexus S
Many users are running Chainfire3D on devices not listed here - it's likely to work on all modern devices. So far nobody has reported a failed install, so that's good. Doesn't mean problems can't happen.
!! There is some risk involved installing the driver. Your device may not boot. If you have CWM, it would be prudent to create a backup before installing !!

SUPERUSER
This is meant to replace Superuser (if installed), you use either one or the other. You cannot combine them. Statements that this breaks Superuser are therefore completely nonsensical.
NOTICE: A SPECIAL PROCEDURE IS NEEDED FOR UNINSTALLATION. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE APP, DO *NOT* JUST UNINSTALL IT, YOU *WILL* LOSE ROOT.
Superuser access management runs through a so called "su binary". There can be only one of these at a time. So if you install SuperSU, your previous superuser access management solution will no longer operate. So if you want to switch back: (1) Open that application, and search for an option for it to install/update/replace the "su binary". (2) Confirm root-using apps are using the superuser solution you want. (3) Uninstall SuperSU.

UNDELETE FOR ROOT USERS
Description
Undelete for Android is an application for root users that allows you to recover any type of deleted file from your SD card or internal storage.
With support for over 1000 file types, Undelete can come in handy if you accidentally delete photos or want some old tunes to listen to on the go.
Undelete can also securely wipe and shred files so that they will be impossible for others to recover.
Features:
★ Restore any file that has not been written over
★ Securely wipe/shred files
★ Works with documents, images, video, music, archives and binaries
★ Thumbnail preview generation
★ Batch operations
★ Custom restore folder
★ Preview media files
Without the unlock Key, this application will only restore image files. Please buy the Key to unlock full functionality.
Currently, only FAT is supported. On most devices this means that only the external SD is supported.
Some files that are discovered after a scan may fail to recover as the data can be corrupted beyond repair, just like desktop based solutions.
ROOT PERMISSIONS require that you modify the operating system on your device, visit our website for more information: http://fahrbot.co.uk/root
INTERNET and READ DATA permissions are needed for the logging system. Logs are only sent manually with your permission through the "Write to us" dialog.

BATTERY CALIBRATION
Description
Calibrate your battery when you think it's miscalibrated.
Requirements: Android 2.1+ | Root permissions
Calibration needs to be done after flashing a new ROM, but you can calibrate any time you think your battery is miscalibrated. This program does it by removing the batterystats.bin system file. The OS generates a new clean batterystats file soon, thus any fake information from the previous ROM is removed.
It's suggested, but not necessary, to let the phone fully discharge after calibration, then charged to 100% without break.
The app shows your actual battery status, and only allows you to start the calibration (i.e. removes the file) when it's fully charged, unless you force earlier calibration.
The voltage meter can be useful too. Full charge is around 4200mV.
There is an option to beep when 100% is reached so you don't have to closley follow the changes.

Sixaxis Controller
Description
*** Caution: This app is not for the faint-hearted!! ***
Please read all instructions carefully.
Not all devices are supported, therefore it is strongly recommended that you try the 'Sixaxis Compatibility Checker' (available for free in the Android Market) before purchasing this app.
Finally the wait is over... The ultimate gaming experience awaits! Now you can play games on your phone the way they were meant to be played! Sixaxis Controller allows you to use your Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers in many of your favourite games and applications.
*** IMPORTANT ***
- ROOT access is required!!!
- Due to the way pairing is done with the controllers, you need to manually pair your controller with the PC utility 'SixaxisPairTool' (available on the website) and a mini-USB cable. Android 3.1+ users can also pair directly on their devices via USB.
- It is highly recommended that you use an ORIGINAL controller. Many after market controllers will not work with this app. If you get a 'Client connected: 1' message, but the lights on your controller continue to flash, it is almost certainly not an original Sony controller.
- Be sure to read the instructions in the help menu carefully.
Features:
- Up to four Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers supported at once.
- Support as a native gamepad in Android 3.1+ devices. Full support for analog sticks and analog triggers.
- Keyboard emulation. Map all buttons and sticks to almost any key available in Android.
- Mouse emulation. Configure a button to activate the mouse pointer on devices that support mice (most tablets, and many phones should work).
- Touch emulation allows you to map buttons and analog sticks to the screen. Play all your favourite games with full analog support, even those without built-in controller support!

reserved 2
reserved 3 now u can post
nice thread
updated nov 03 with script manager and faster fix
In any ROM (even without gapps) there will always be automatic connections with Google(captive portal mode, ntp) and Qualcomm (ntp, gps) The theory says that we have to deactivate automatic date and time and use only the integrated GPS (or otherwise contact Google / Qualcomm) but in practice these hosts will connect to the internet when they can ... The file in a LineageOs ROM is usually in /vendor/etc/gps.conf. On the other hand, there are geolocation alternatives, such as theUnifiedNIp project. Later, we can use other servers such as Mozilla. For this purpose we need to have MicroG installed, although I leave the information in case you are interested in.
The exception would supposedly be Replicant, but it supports few devices.
To avoid the espionage of Google we need the following:
-Before installing / formatting / flashing, we export our contacts in .vcf format and then recover them by importing the file from the Contacts application. If you want synchronization you can use, for instance,DAVdroid in Nextcloud / Ownclowd. This file and our photos / videos are taken to the PC and viceversa using a wire. We also download F-Droid, Afwall firewall and Adaway apks. We do not connect to the internet till I say even we have to avoid mobile data or wifi in the setupwizard.
-We flash a LineageOs ROM, without gapps and without MicroG(because it generates too many connections with Google). In your options we will uncheck Automatic Date / Time. We become root with Magisk or su.
-The next step is to deactivate the captive portal mode. All Android phones send a ping to Google to verify that the internet works. In Development Options we will enable the Local Terminal / Shell. Afterwards, we look for the new app and we open it.
In order to have root access we write:su
Then we will put:settings put global captive_portal_mode 0
And finally:reboot (also in the terminal, because if we restart manually it will be activated again)
-We disable "Intent Filter Verification" system app. It connects to Google and Amazon to verify the net. It is not necessary to be root. We force stopping and afterwards we disable it.
-If we use Android Pie we change Private DNS from automatic (default) to No.
-Install the firewall Afwall + We will give access only to the apps that interest us. However, there is a "bug" in Android that produces another inevitable data leak for any Firewall. This occurs at the boot of the system in which the program is incapable because it is loaded later, and the OS takes advantage to skip the locks. In its experimental options, there is one that controls this behavior. "Fix the data leak at boot" To let us mark the option, which by default will be gray, we must indicate in the immediately superior option "Path of the home directory for script", the first one that appears/sbin/.core /img/.core/service.d. Besides, we mark IPv6 compatibility. Thus, Afwall could "see" some IP's and block them. Nowadays I do not know what they are but there are several (an failed) unknown connections.
-AdAway. Now It is the moment to connect to the internet. We add the lists I put below, update the app and reboot. We are going to block Google servers (time.google.com) and Qualcomm servers (Izat, izatcloud.net) because despite blocking them in the firewall, disabling automatic date / time and using only the integrated GPS for time, they will try to connect to the time servers as soon as the phone connects.
To simplify, we added the host that I created for that purpose:
https://gitlab.com/Jorgu81/hosts/raw/master/HostsGoogle
Most recommended is Steven Black, although it is not essential:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts
- After that, we install the F-Droid store. We are going to avoid Yalp Store/Aurora because they generate too many connections with Google, but you can install / uninstall if you need any app.
-IceCat web browser. Startpage, Qwant or SearX search engines. The reason, here:
https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/browsers.html
First of all we disable its addons because they break the webs. Afterwards, we put the ublock addon Origin.. If you want to avoid Google webcrawling we must block its domains with the aforementioned add-on. These are some of its trackers:
adservice.google.com
admob.com
adwords.com
adservice.google.es
adservice.google.com
doubleclick.net
googleapis.com beware! Some forums will not load correctly if we block ajax.googleapis.com
google-analytics.com
googletagservices.com
googleusercontent.com
googletraveladservices.com
googlesyndication.com
googleadservices.com
gstatic.com (it tends to break many websites, so use it manually where possible)
-SD Maid. This program is very complete and with it we can disable system applications or avoid autobooting them. But what interests us is to remove tracking permissions of the apps, specifically those referred to Google. These are boot (auto-start),analytics, tracking, firebase and in general those that refer to google. If the apps contain any of them, we will remove them. We look for "Application Control" (previously we can mark it to indicate also those of the System in Settings) and after selecting them, we select the app and choose "Permission Manager". Do not forget to give the 3 points above (Other) to see all of them. Example with Whatsapp. Uncheck "com.whatsapp.Bootreceiver","google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurement Receiver","com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdReceive r","com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurementInstallReferrerReceiver"
https://sdmaid.darken.eu/download/production/
If we want to avoid its automatic connections we could disable the options in Settings, General Settings, Bug reporting.
Do not forget Trust in LineageOs in order to change, deny or allow permissions of our installed apps.
With this we have finished the initial configuration to avoid, as far as possible, the espionage of our system.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applications / recommended settings (from F-Droid, as usual):
-Beta Updater for WhatsApp. To update the well-known application.
-XprivacyLua. We need Xposed:
Xposed (not Android 9)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
EdXposed (Android 9, alpha)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/android-9-0-xposed-solutions-t3889513
It will block all the information from our terminal that apps can takefor their indeterminate purposes. Few of them will make an incorrect use of it because they come from F-Droid. If we use WhatsApp we have to leave at least permission to clipboard and Contacts. In IceCat only for clipboard.
Removed old info.
Updated info:
-Disabling Intent Filter Verification due to its connections with Google, Amazon, and so on...
Another update and I hope the last...
We mark IPv6 compatibility in the firewall. Thus, Afwall could "see" some IP's and block them. Nowadays I do not know what they are but there are several (an failed) unknown connections.
Nevertheless, if we do not apply this, we could see data leak (AdAway, wireshark, tcpdump)
Now, there is no automatic connections at all.
On the other hand, I will install Pie soon so I will hope not to find too many problems...
Last update with Pie.
Only strange connections between mobile and router with Private DNS that is in automatic mode by default. We change it and select No.
-Added more hosts
-Changed hosts from GitHub to GitLab.
Now, we have 0 automatic data again when we turn on/off wifi or mobile data.
