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

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.
I used it to deny the GPS for facebook app whitch worked perfectly but somehow it stopped working....facebook can get GPS again.....any ideas?

You have to turn off the Notification icon in settings...works for me on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
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.
I was looking for an application that I could load onto an android based set top box, that would provide a layer of security to the box by requiring a login username and password before you can access any applications.
Is there anything out there that might work like that?
thanks
Evan
Try smart app protector frm Google play...

Hey everyone,
When I was using my Galaxy S3 with CM11, one feature I loved was Privacy Guard (http://localtechrepair.blogspot.com/2013/12/kitkat-android-44-privacy-using-privacy.html). It allows the user to specify what permissions an app would have and what it would have access too. Well, using my Xperia Z3, I don't see this as as option... has anyone noticed this elsewhere?
Is there a way to get Privacy Guard on an unrooted Xperia Z3?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Johnathan
I would like this also. Going from xPrivacy on CM to having no control over app permissions is annoying. I enjoyed blocking all the apps that don't tell you they track your location.

The feature I liked most about miui was that I could choose certain permissions and block them across all apps with one switch,then make a white list as necessary. For example an app going in to read my address book would get fed blank data until I whitelisted (so it wouldn't throw an error in the meantime).
How can I get this behavior from my z3? I looked at a lot of the permission managers and the only ones I found require me to painstakingly inspect and adjust the permissions on each app one by one.
Certainly miui is not the only flavor that got this privacy frame done right?
I haven't rooted but I would do so just for this.

First of all, root your device, then install xposed framework and the module,Xprivacy...
Hey there,
I have spent a lot of time with security on Windows (research, testing, etc) and have about 10 years of experience when it comes to security, malware & privacy. On Windows I believe to have a very decent setup and there is little that can bypass my security setup. I want to achieve the same on my Android phone (currently Nexus 6) and wonder what you do and recommend to safe your privacy and improve your phone's security.
A little history of my Android security path:
On my HTC Desire HD I used Dr. web, when it got released (being the top product back then). With my Nexus 4 I switched over to Avast being the top product at that time as well as using ParanoidAndroid and it's feature to disable permissions per app (e.g. no location permission for facebook). After some time I felt like Avast was slowing down my phone and replaced it by CM Security. Well CM Security isn't the most transparent app and I am struggling with privacy when using this app.
So now on my Nexus 6 I am using the following setup so far:
App Ops (aka privacy guard) - To disable permissions per app
Override DNS - To change DNS Server for 3G/4G/WIFI to "NortonDNS"
Telegram - For secure chats
SuperSU - For root management
I disabled untrusted certificates (e.g. government) based on what certificates are allowed in Firefox browser (Android 5.x)
Phone is using encryption (Android 5.x)
I would still like to have an app that does scans every few days with high detection rate but low resource usage when on idle. SMS and Phone Call block would be a nice feature as well. Also I would want to "lock" apps with a "password pattern" so other people can't open it.
ESET seems to be lightweight, high detection rate and is a very trustable company. But 15€ a year is a little bit... meh
What setup do you guys use and recommend?
