Hey I have a Sprint galaxy S5 and am interested in changing my DNS on not only wifi but 3G and 4GLTE connections as well. Is there any way I can do this? I have tried using Override DNS but it does not work for me.
Is there anyway I can manually change my DNS for my entire phone?
Or is there a better app for changing phone DNS for Android 5.0?
Have you rooted your device? That app needs root.
Yes My device is rooted. I currently am running the MOAR Root.
there is an app in playstore named setDNS. search for it it has the ability to change your devices dns. requires root

The only version on play store doesn't require root so it doesn't actually change 4G/3G and wifi DNS only the wifi DNS which can easily be done manually...

According to the description it doesn't claim to work for 4G or 4GLTE.
best answer is practically install the app. if it works for you ..... bingo
if it doesn't just press uninstall. it doesn't cost anything.

Currently got a lg g3 but want to get this phone.
The only thing stopping me is the no root thing.
is there a way to block ads and backup and restore apps without root on the z3?
AdBlock Plus for Android doesn't require root, you can find it here: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
In addition you can install the ABP for Firefox, but this app seems to block ads in other apps as well.
As for the backup I don't know, sorry.
Use helium for backup and restore. Adblock plus or adguard for blocking

For my wifi i had to do that too.
edit: on wifi it was easier, only had to add the proxy and the port.
Sorry for the double post, had to change to adguard because adblock was messing with facebook, youtube, dolphin. It was getting slow to load stuff and forced me to reset the programs.
Is there any alternative to ad block plus for device not rooted ( lollipop)?
Questions belong in Q&A.
Adblockers modify the hosts file or use iptables to redirect ad URLs to localhost, which requires root access. I don't know of any that don't.
Tks
Adblock plus don't modify any host file , but apply a filter in port 2020 with a proxy on localhost.
On kitkat work fine , on lollipop don't work.
Think she is confused with adaway which does create a host file. All you can do uprooted is use the app you are to warn you of ads so you can take apps out. I use adaway but I buy apps when there is a paid version. If I'm not willing to pay I take it out. If they give me no choice but to have ads I block them.

Hey xda
Proxy settings messed up..
I forced pdanet tablet for android to my g2d80030f... :/ I believe v1.21 is the culprit as 3.1 just crashed.
I'm running @blastagator's mostly stock lollipop with magisk and phhsu. I used a mix of my own and [email protected]Äptiva's method of
1. stock
2. stump root
3. autorec twrp 2.8ish, update twrp
4. Fota dlpkgfile
5. flash @blastagator's d800 rom with twrp or LG flash don't recall
6. Flash unsu in twrp
7. Can't remember if I flashed kernel or SELinux enabler. Seems I needed a permissive kernel edit from aptivas post...
8. Flash magiskv6 in twrp
9. Flash cbump in twrp
10. Flash phh su in twrp
Then installed pdanet 3.1, always crashed. Tried 1.21. This asks to set your g2 proxy to 127.0.0.1 and the port to 1234. After changing thus setting, I cannot find a way to revert it. I have looked for proxy settings and get mostly computer stuff. Any ideas on how to revert these changes? What are the regular settings for those numbers are if I can alter them?
Mentioning you guys due to your knowledge base. If it's back to stock I need the practice, except my network device is a Samsung (smg900p) :'(

Proxy settings would be under your APN settings, so Cell Network Settings -> Access Point Names. That's what it's called in CM13, anyway. I'm sure stock is similar.

My mobile networks in the settings is greyed out. For me it's settings->tethering and networks->mobile networks. I believe my apn settings are in there? The greyed out part. The g2 is unlocked but has no sim, no network. The pdanet app won't clear the settings and save them.
I'm running your d80030b lp for d800, which is why I mentioned you. Also need to thank you for the rom and a few other things, in case the thousands you have need to go up

If you don't have a SIM, you wouldn't have APNs as APNs are for a mobile network. Wifi Settings for each Wifi network contain the proxt settings. Forget your wifi network and re-add it.
Tried and tested on march/may security update and works
PLEASE HIT THE LIKE BUTTONS IF IT WORKS (WHICH IT DOES).
1. This first step was originally found by @deathdefiler and thought it might help people so I've presented a neat manual to get started spoofing.
You need to root your phone
dont matter if you use a autoroot oneclickroot or what ever you prefer
Because we will be deleting (or NOT as mentioned in step 2) root later.
Just make sure SuperSu(optional for cm/lineage users) and busybox is installed
after your phone is rooted and
busybox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
are installed
go to playstore and download this exactly
(GPS Joystick Fake GPS Location)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick
by dev. The app ninjas
as while youre in playstore also download (/system/app mover Root) by dev. j4velin
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover
now openup /system/app mover and search for fake gps joystick
tap it and choose yes or ok to move it to /system/app
At this point you should reboot your phone( MUST DO )!
Once your phone is rebooted you can unroot your phone
Even if you unroot Gps joystick will remain in /system/app
Now go into your phone location settings
Set location modus to Device only
I also set google location service off otherwise it will go back to high accuracy mode.
Now we can open Fake gps joystick and go to settings from menu in the top left corner
Make sure that these following options are on
". Enable System Mode
Disable Location Service
Enable A-GPS reset. "
Now Restart your device for changes to take effect
thats it now we can start fake gps choose location of your liking
open pokenmon go and start playing (make sure loction is on device only mode)
If you want your location to work back normal
for example playing pokemon go normal or use googlemaps
then open fake gps settings and make sure Disable location service is set to off
Reboot your device and your good to go
Note by @reis1996 : In settings menu change "Background Handler" to another value from default to remove the time lag between spoofs. It varies for different devices
DONATE IF I WAS HELPFUL
HERE
Optional step for users who want to keep root/run custom ROMs
NOTE: YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CM/LINEAGE BASED ROM FOR THIS STEP TO WORK
NO MAGISK!!! OR SUPERSU!!!
2. The next step is to temporarily disabled root but still have root access
*****NOUGAT USERS DON'T FLASH ANYTHING*****
Pokemon checks for root status and SELinux status
iSU is an app made @bhb27
Head over to the iSU thread and flash (for 6.0.1 and below as nougat just needs the app installed)
a)iSU kernal file. permissive if your selinux is already permissive / enforcing if your selinux is enforcing
You can check your seLinux status of your phone in settings>about phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...le-app-to-deactivate-activate-t3478348/page56
b)use the iSU app
To change your build.prop file of your phone
This makes the phone think its not rooted
In the prop editor in the app, set all values to green/safe.
Next set root deactivated and seLinux to enforcing.
The app has an inbuilt safety net checker to see if you pass safety net.
Note that you should toggle root and selinux status to pass safety net via the iSU app only.
as soon as i move gps fake location app to system it disappears, and i have no means to open it up. i did cf autoroot.
also i have galaxy s6, where do i find settings below.
Now go into your phone location settings

Did you restart the phone after making the GPS a system app. RESTART IS A MUST AFTER MAKING ANY APP SYSTEM APP
OK a little more information would be nice. What ROM are you running? Android version? Stock?
My advice for now would be to use a system APP uninstaller and remove the app. Then use another app ( various apps are present in play store) to make the GPS app a system app. Then unroot

You need to download an app to edit your build.prop file and you will need root for this.
3ctoolbox can edit the build.prop but you can use anything else.
Trying using the iSU app to just change the values only. Its a one click method by clicking the safe (green) button under props menu

Hi all. I've successfully rooted my Fire 10 (2017) using retyre's excellent offline rooting guide. I never (and still have not) connected to wifi and sideloaded 5.6.2.0 from what was previously at 5.5.0.0
After root, I've installed Google Play Store with forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77125897&postcount=80
Installed Xposed Framework Installer APK, but have yet to install the actual Xposed SDK because that requires an internet connection to retrieve the SDK. And I haven't downloaded a root file explorer yet, either.
Anyways, I've read and read before doing all these things, but there's one more thing to figure out before I finally connect to wifi.
What's the correct way to prevent Amazon from pushing a ROM OTA? I've seen 2 different implementations posted around the forums.

How to install Xposed & Flashfire for easy backups and ROM updates
How to enable Amazon packages (apk) updates but prevent the ROM updates (keeping root & rootable rom).
1) Edit /system/build.prop and change ro.build.version.number to have "9" as the first value instead of "5", as recommended in this link
2) Reboot
3) Enable OTA by ensuring that /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA/DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk is renamed back to apk from apk_
4) Reboot
At this point the Fire will download a lot of apk packages, and will update Amazon system components (keeping FireOS version the same).

This method worked for me after rooting using the offline root guide. When I go into System Updates and click check, it just says "Check for updates failed." It does require root, so make sure to use the "su" command before the others or it will give you an error. I am on 5.6.0.1 by the way.

The methods can be ranked in terms of update prevention:
1) DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk_ blocks anything an everything, forever and ever
2) build.prop version blocks FireOS ROM updates (no threat to root), but does not block individual Amazon apk updates for various packages, so something like Amazon store may still update
3) firewall method is intermittent, and often people complain that it would still update even with the firewall blocking - this one is absolutely not recommended
I will do the build.prop edit then. Thank you!

I said Firewall because he didn't have root. A non-root firewall works, but isn't the most reliable.
Since you have root, go ahead and delete those two apps altogether. Use something like Titanium Backup, and then uninstall the OTA Apps. Make a backup in case you ever want automatic updates again.
