personalDNSfilter was updated to version 1.50.2 on March 19, 2017.
Just found this, I'm surprised it's not got a following.. light and easy to use, seems a good alternative to dns66 and the likes.
Can we change/edit the local file FILTERHOSTS.TXT?
Will it get downloaded again and over-written?
Great app, thanks for heads up.

By default it will be overwritten. But you can add custom filters within the dnsfilter.conf (see filter.host = true|false settings).
Alternativly it is possible to disable the automated filter download so that the FILTERHOST.TXT won´t be overwritten.
Just check dnsfilter.conf file for details. It contains a good documentation of the different settings.
Sorry, these might be some dumb questions, but really trying to get this to work on an Android phone running 7.1.1:
1) do I need to check "Advanced settings" in order for those settings to work? If I don't check it, I can't scroll down to view the logs, unless I'm missing something
2) Also, any reason why some of my custom entries in the "Advanced settings" doesn't work? (I put in entries to be filtered and those are still allowed in the log and entries to be allowed, but those are still blocked.) I've hit Reload filter and Restart and sometimes it works, but more often it doesn't.
3) Lastly, any reason why other times my entire "Advanced settings" erases? How can I get those entries to persist?
Thanks for putting this app together, hopefully once I know what's going on I'll be able to use it much better.

Advanced settings unfolds when clicked, set values, untick and the put in values are active but hidden in the GUI. Set a custom reload intervall for testing to see (days until next reload).
Use a text editor to edit the right files inside the pDNSf folder in your storage. You will find examples and descriptions there. Just have a look at the even more advanced settings playing around with the configuration files. Quit the client, edit files, start the client again and reload.

Yes .... better edit the dnsfilter.cfg file. In addition: the advanced settings within the GUI only allows to edit the filter URL and reload interval. In case invalid values are added, it will be reset to the previous valid entries (Check for messages in the log area)

[APP] Clipboard + Notes 6.3.1 [04/05/2016]
Clipboard + Notes is a simple clipboard manager which watches your clipboard for any changes and saves its contents for later use. Contents can be starred and labelled, as well as added manually, which makes the app a handy tool for note taking.
The contents from the clipboard history can be copied into the clipboard again, they can be edited, deleted, searched, and shared too. When sharing links they can be optionally shortened if URLy is installed. Any links in the contents will be quickly picked up and extra options will be available to open or share them directly from the device. HTTP and Market links are amongst the supported types.
Clipboard + Notes can be easily turned off from the settings if it is no longer needed, and its operation can be customised to match the user's needs. The clipboard collection is intelligently stopped when the device isn't being used any more, which makes it very battery-friendly.
In addition it integrates with the Android Quick Search Bar so you can directly search your clipboard history. It further integrates with Google's cloud backup and restore, so any time you wipe your device your contents and settings will be restored the next time you install the application (only works on Android 2.3+ and backup/restore must be enabled in the 'Privacy' settings for your device).
A little extra hand is at help too in case you would like to share to clipboard. The app supports this functionality as well, so just pick something to share, and select Clipboard + Notes from the window. The item you just shard will now have been copied into the clipboard.

OK, will do it sometime during the week. I already have the two other features done, just testing them on my own device.
Thanks for the support
Version 1.2 is out, changes include:
Clipboard history will be saved across reboots and service shutdowns
Edit clipboard contents
Added date to older contents
Added fallback click option
Numerous bug fixes
Enjoy
P.S. Would it be helpful if the text which is currently in the clipboard was highlighted, for example the font was bold or text bigger? It is always at the top in the list, but not sure if that makes sense/occurs to everyone.
Hy I like your Tool. I look long time ago to find something like this.
There is one problem I recognized, sometimes when I press Copy Link it happen nothing in Clipboard Contents. Then I switch off & on the service and my Link is displaying in the History !

Hi, glad you like it
So let me understand this correctly. You have some items in the list, you long-click on one of them (not the top one), click copy to clipboard and nothing happens in the list? What should happen is that the one you copied should be moved to the top of the list. What happens when you click on 'Refresh'? Same thing as when you turn the service off and on, or is it different?
I've never had this issue happen to me so I'm just trying to understand whether there are some particular steps which make it happen. Anyway, I'll take a look at the code, but any extra information would be helpful. Thanks.
No, not like this. I want to copy an item to the List and nothing happens. Then I switch off and on the service ones a time then the copy works !!!

OK, I understand now... I think
The problem is that the service refreshes every X seconds, depending on how you have it set in the settings. If you copy something and open the list, the service might not have refreshed yet and therefore the item won't appear in the list. If you know you copied something and it's not there you should just hit the 'Refresh' button and it should appear, that's the reason why I put it there.
OK Thanks,
Version 1.3 is out with the following changes:
Links without 'http://' will be now detected
Added confirmation upon content deletion
Current clipboard content gets highlighted in bold
Text size for the list can be changed (see the settings)
Older items will be automatically removed (see the settings)
Many other fixes
Up on the Market and in the first post.

OK. I think it is somewhat annoying that there isn't a separate permission for ad-only internet access, as that would probably make users more trustful of applications which request permissions that may have nothing to do with the app's functionality (such as this one).

I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Some people may think that this is a dead application, but nope. I still have plans for it, but not enough time at the moment Anyway, here is the version 1.4 update:
Added support for shortening links using URLy when sharing them (only if URLy is installed)
Fixed a couple of small bugs
Tiny tweaks to the user interface
Simplified English localisation
New APK is in the OP and also on the Market. Enjoy.
Version 2.0 is out, with the following changes (many of which have been promised for a longer time):
New user interface
Restore clipboard at boot
Improved communication with the service
Persistent storage improved
Contents can be manipulated when the service is disabled
Integrated with Android's Quick Search Bar
Get it on the Market or in the OP (still free with ads)
Version 2.1.0 is out, in the usual places. Here are the changes;
Fixed list items too small
Fixed double notifications
Fixed clipboard erasure detection
Fixed status bar icon to match UI guidelines
Added cloud backup/restore for Android 2.2 and newer (must be enabled in device Settings -> Privacy)
On a side note, the cloud backup/restore service which Google provides for Android applications is rather cool. It's really simple to implement and use, so here's to hoping that more developers will include this feature in their applications

When I worked in big company, I have used Putty, WinScp, Telnet client and FileZilla for solving some easy problems, like change config file, copy from one FS to other and then restart application server through terminal. This program should make it much easy, without the need for this zoo of programs.
Implemented next protocols:
SSH
SFTP
FTP
FTPS
Local FS
WebDAV
Telnet
Http, Https are coming.
Features:
Tablet ready
Holo-style interface
A lot of protocols implemented with integration between them
All file system actions: rename, cut, copy, delete, edit.
SSH signals like CTRL+C etc.
File system sharing. You can copy file from one FS, e.g. one FTP server, and paste it to another with SFTP.
Password & OpenSSH private key support
Sort by various parameters
Install from Google Play
Any feedback are welcome! Here program bug tracker, I will try do everything to improve this program.
Any feedback?

If I was on a PC, I would login to the router. At the prompt, I will enter the Cisco command.......show running-config. At that point it will want to scroll through the entire router configuration, one page or line at a time. On the pc, to move past the first page you would either hit enter to view it line by line or hit the space bar to go through it page by page. I need to be able to do both. Love the app, that just limits me. May just be my lack of understanding of the app which is what prompts my question.
I currently have AOKP (Maclaw) installed on my Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini, but as I was looking through the apps, there was one particular app that got me slightly concerned. It´s called Panda and when I click it, the only option I have is to "Enable Energy Save Mode", yet that utterly simple app has FULL access to the entire phone.
Firstly with Panda, you do not have the option to uninstall it the easy way, so a noob is forced to have it there.
If you try to forcibly stop Panda in the app manager, it will restart itself automatically.
Further more - Panda have the perrmissions to
- directly call phone numbers
read phone status and identity
- read your text messages (SMS or MMS)
send MMS messages
- take pictures and photos
- record audio
- approximate location (network-based)
precise location (GPS and network-based)
- modify your contacts
read your contacts
- read your own contact card
- modify or delete the contents of your SD card
- disable your screen lock
- set an alarm
- read Google service configuration
use accounts on the device
view configured accounts
- read terms you added to the dictionary
- change system display settings
modify secure system settings
retrieve system internal status
- change network connectivity
change WiMaX state
connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi
connect and disconnect from WiMaX
control Near-Field Communication
full network access
view network connections

- access Bluetooth settings

- re-order running apps

- draw over other apps
- control vibration
prevent phone from sleeping
- add words to user-defined dictionary
- change your audio settings
. read sync settings

toggle sync on and off
- expand / collaps status bar
- modify system settings

read Home settings and shortcuts
test access and protected storage
write Home settings and shortcuts
- full permissions to all device features and storage
- Set global theme
..meaning I guess that this Panda app has full administrator/root permissions.. - ..but why?
Why does a seemingly useless application like Panda have root permissions, which in turn also makes it fairly difficult to remove? What is the application Panda´s true purpose? Why is it there in the first place? What does it do, exactly?
My concerns with these alternative smartphone operating systems is that there might be an Ubuntu/Debian scenario, where Debian is a nice clean OS giving you the very basics and letting you choose whatever extra you want from there, whereas Ubuntu comes with a lot of extra stuff that you do not really need and / or should be given the ability to choose if you wanted to install or not, upon install.
So, I guess my question to the experienced, security- and privacy-oriented smartphone-OS user is:
What is the best alternative smartphone OS that gives you a simple OS without anything extra such as that suspicious Panda app?
In other words, which smartphone alternative out there today can be trusted the most to respect my privacy? I would of course look into Firefox OS if it was available.
Am I being overly paranoid about AOKP? Should I just keep that, or perhaps Cyanogenmod is the way to go? Or perhaps I am missing an even better solution?
Thanks.
You know you can easily disable those permissions with app ops, do you?

Not with the Panda application you cant, and thats using the original App Ops with 4.3 support.
If you access App Ops to edit permissions for Panda, you arent given a single permission to alter.
The App Ops I am using works just fine with other applications, and I can easily alter permissions - but with Panda, not so--I cannot edit a single permission of Panda´ s, and yet that application has full access to my entire phone.
Panda is an application that seems to come by default with the MacLaw releases, at least on AOKP - I havent tested their Cyanogenmod release yet.
That Panda bear logo of this particular Panda app that I am talking about is the same Panda depicted on http://maclaw.pl - so it kinda begs to question - why is there an application like that with the AOKP MacLaw releases in the first place? Does that app gather information? Can it be accessed remotely? What exactly does it do?
The Panda "Teddy" logo:

You could upload the app to VirusTotal and if nothing is picking it up then send it to a AV provider that you like as a suspicious file and they'll check it over.
Or upload it and post the link here and I'm sure someone who knows far more than I do) could look it over.
You could also just ask him yourself, but I don't think he'll be collecting your personal information. The only thing that app does, is turning off one CPU core and setting the governor to OnDemand. That's all I know.
PSA root apps, or mods to the system don't really need to declare permissions, they can obtain the same functionality other routes. Don't judge the safety of an app just based on it's permissions.

Hi,
mine works in every application.
eg : you can open chrome,adobe reader,Office applications,Chat apps,etc
just open the application->click settings icon which enables the floating Icon->Open any other application which supports copying text (all app supports that) - > Copy the word you need to know about- > click on the floating icon and you will get the meaning.
Also XDictionary needs to root the device and install Xposed Module.But Mine DO NOT require ROOT.
Will try it later, I looked at XDictionary, but I don't want to install Xposed .
Xposed Module
Hello again,
This is My first time working with Xposed Module.I have tried to create a Xposed Module for this application.But I need someone to test the Xposed Module.I am attaching the apk file.please try it and report.I am not sure if it works.

Maybe you should rethink title and app name: Define - Offline Dictionary
As it is deceiving, since your app does search online, if only no match found
It would be great if you have a version which does not have network permissions and does not search online if no match found, which will make it a true offline dictionary.
Most offline dictionaries provide a separate dictionary file which you can download separately, which allows for custom dictionary sets(https://code.google.com/p/quickdic-dictionary/wiki/BuildDictionary),
and improvements to database without affecting app itself
Maybe look at: https://code.google.com/p/quickdic-dictionary/
It is open source.

Loggers in the context of Warden means all utilities which are used to log user activity on an app or logcat in general. Not all loggers are evil.
But few logging tools like ACRA, xLog are very powerful tools that can send user data to devs without user's consent.
So do read the app's Privacy Policy, beforehand.
De-Bloater (Requires Root)
Warden provides a profile based de-bloater where a profile is created in a format specified as in this sample scripts
You need to place this profile/your custom profile at `ExternalStorage/Warden/Profiles` to make them appear in app.
De-Bloater is an experimental feature, will improve it over time.
Default action for debloating is 'disable' you can configure it to 'uninstall' or 'hide' from settings.
Nuke it! (Requires Root)
Nuke it! is another experimental feature that scans all apps on the device and disables all know tracker components automatically.
It also gives an option to export components names per-app basis.
Components here means: Activities, Services, Providers & Receivers
Warden uses `su pm` to manage the components.

Damn, awesome app :highfive:
This is the very best app you could possibly install. Great job!
EDIT: I wanted to take the opportunity to say hi to my mom, as I'm sure this thread will EXPLODE with comments, as this software is essential!
The app seems to freeze scanning Simple Pro.
Awesome!! Debloated, NUKED it!!! ? ?
Thank you so much!
I give it ten Stars **********
Thank you. So I created a a folder and subfolder on my SD card with the following path: Warden/Profiles. I put the .json file in there, but the app doesn't see it. Can someone tell me which folders and where I need to create to make this work?

Not on SD card but internal storage. Than in Warden tap menu->labs->debloat and chose profile to apply.
Good luck.
Bro, your app is simply awesome. A few remaining things to improve but not a Big deal.
Im already waiting for the pro version to support...
Good job
Great job! Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully designed app. One question. Is there an option to undo the "nuke it " feature?
Scanning of system apps hangs on this one: com.oneplus.telephonyoptimization
I'm already using adaway.
So does this app so more than adaway?
Could someone please help me out here.
Thanks.

Read OP. Logers and trackers are not same as ads. Apps can have hardcoded IPs of ads, logers, trackers, etc. Adaway can't help you with this. Apps like Warden or XPrivacyLua can help you by stopping "evil" actions in apps like apps from Google store.
Good luck.
It gets stuck scanning some apps like VLC
Edit: uninstalled VLC and got stuck at com.google.android.apps.pdfviewer
very interesting app!
thank you
Very good. Suggestion: report should indicate which app has how many trackers and how many of those are still enabled?
Thank you for this very useful app! I've noticed that during the scan /data/data/com.aurora.warden/cache/oat folder becomes huge with a bunch of odex files. Scanning for nearly 200 apps takes more than a GB on that folder, before getting stuck on VLC. Is this normal?
Amazing app.
Congratulations!!!
