Hi, as the subject says, can you share your personal favorite firewall for stock room that is rooted? Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
firewall? on an android device? why?
For controlling app's access to the net? Why do you think is unnecessary?

ohhh.. there are default options. go to the phones main settings, data usage, and you can restrict apps to your mobile network there(pick an app, then chose restrict background data. then only when you need it to access data it will, or if youre connected to wifi).
Cool, didn't know that, thanks

How do you change icon size on this phone without rooting and while using the Google launcher? Not quite ready to root, yet. And I like the default launcher other than the icon size. A bit big for me.
Thanks.

Just won't happen without root. Even then it would probably require changing DPI settings.

Lol that was funny. Just use nova or my favorite Apex launcher. Although I believe Nova is only confirmed to work 100%. You can customize anything!

I was just joking. You will have to root and change the DPI. I have mine on 400 right now and it looks a lot better.

It's cool. No worries.
I did that before on my old HTC One. I just didn't wanna root and wipe out everything in storage by unlocking the boot loader.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Use a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex. You can customize everything, including the icon size.
Never mind. Figured out a way.
Thanks all.

Did you get this running?
I managed to find an apk and the file that goes with it, installed, but when it comes to the location part on the intro it just freezes on me

Yes, that may be it. The browser keeps locking your location to provide you the best results based on your location... Disable it and see if it helps :good:

Do i have to disable location completely (on battery saving now) or can i disable just dolphin from using it? I tried looking through dolphins settings but couldn't see anything regarding location. I also have wakelocks by the name of audiomix and nlp but going through the forum i see a few people have this so maybe its just a kitkat issue or maybe its normal
Just Google for Franco's Per App Mode app and reduce the hardware resources available to dolphin browser.
Ok so since changing the location settings to battery saving its finally back to normal although i cant figure out how to completely deny the browser location

I have the fku app with per app but tbh i dont want to underclock the browser as the faster the better but it would be pretty cool to disable mpdecision and use intelliplug only on dolphin, dont think this is possible though

No I'm on Cataclysm rom and it's built into the menu on it. But my missus uses one of the app ops apps from the play store on cm11 (4.4.2) on her phone. I can let you know later when she's home if you want. But I assume any should work
Edit - trickster mod (free) has it built in and it definitely works

Npl wakelock is a common one caused by having your location on high accuracy, or a rouge app that's playing up such as the browser could be scanning for your location every 10 seconds etc, thus creating a partial wakelock, audiomix sounds like something to do with audio output
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app
I turned off location on chrome and dolphin using app ops root and the nlp wakelock doesn't seem to be on as much now, one thing though since turning off location access on dolphin it seems to be using more power than the screen again whats up with that?

Your right. On the N5 it doesn't show as an option! Weird! Just try another from the play store?

Have you got any sync settings switched on in the browser that may be causing battery drain? Thats all I can think of would cause the browser to use more than the screen.

Could also use sqlite commands to echo a 0 to development_settings_enabled in data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
It's harder though
