Hi,
I've been running kit like this for a few days now:
Sony Xperia 10 II, LineageOS 18.1 (link from this forum), Magisk rooting and Microg.
So far everything has worked, but now I find that MS Authenticator does not work. Looks like something to do with backend stuff.
I was wondering does anyone else here expreiences running MS authenticator with microg?
I'm definitely not installing any Google stuff, the whole point of this kit was to get rid of suspicious services and big-business tracking.
Everything else has so far worked perfectly, including banking apps.

I want to do a webview app for a closed community I'm apart of, but unfortunately i haven't got a clue where to start.
I followed this tutorial http://codepard.com/2012/01/adding-a-webview-to-your-android-app-using-eclipse/
but i got errors and i couldn't build the app. There are many tutorials out there and all of them just as confusing.
Do any of you have a tutorial that does a better job?
All i want is a simple app that loads a website, no ads.
Does a comprehensive and plain english list exist anywhere that tells who is who and why they have a security certificate installed on my android phone?
I've asked this before and never found an answer. I find it odd that it isn't questioned and recently when installing FoxFi, it was made more poignant when many became up in arms about the FoxFi cert and the notification that some unknown entity could be monitioring activity. FoxFi is pretty clear about why that cert is there and I can't say that for the factory installed ~200 certs.
Also, is there a comprehensive list anywhere that tells what factory installed and system apps do? Many have very obscure names and even names which are quite misleading upon actually discovering what they really do. I'm sure I can't be the only one that would like to know exactly which apps are safe to freeze, disable or uninstall and upon doing so, what functionality will be lost or what other apps will no longer work, if any.
I think Google needs to step things up in these two areas so people can actually know. The work in the area of app permissions is a step in that direction, but, still a long way from full and forthright disclosure aimed at educating all android device owners.
Thanks for any direction you can provide.
Hmmmmm.... its merely about the desire to know why every android I've owned for coming on ten years now has security certs installed belonging to the DOD, Japanese Government, Experia, Equifax and many more that I have no idea who they are unless I want to research each and everyone of them. Even doing so in most cases still doesn't reveal why those entities have a cert on my phone and what it actually means. I wonder what happens if they are removed and why they are there in the first place.
As far as the many pre-installed apps that I can't imagine many people having a clue as to why they are installed or what they actually do, well, that kinda speaks for itself as well.
Nobody else wonders or does everyone else but me already know?
However, in the mean time, I'll refine my quest to changing permissions and any insightful threads on that for dummies would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately I can't find anything relating to your question on XDA, it's probably best to ask here:
Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
No response in two days, thread closed.
Question for the group.
I like privacy, security and granular permission control.
I have the Sprint version of the Galaxy S6 (SM-G920P) -- rooted, running stock touchwiz.
For years, I used XPrivacy , part of the Xposed framework. I liked the granular controls, but found it clunky and cumbersome.
When lollipop came out- Xposed was temporarily non-functional with Touchwiz, until the great @wanam, @arter97, @romracer etc created the fix) solution. So originally I couldn't stay with Xposed and XPrivacy.
In searching for an alternative privacy/security option, I found LBEsec - a Chinese security company that I wasn't previously familiar with. Problem for them though- is they don't have an official english translation (and I don't speak Chinese). However, the great @vuhien solved this, and has had working English translations (not perfect, but pretty great) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46695347&postcount=2010 for LBEsec, and I've been using it for over a year.
I found LBEsec to have a better UI and be way more user friendly than Xprivacy, with more functionality (auto Advertisement scanner and blocker, anti-virus and battery monitors, etc etc)- though it didn't have quite as many granular control options as XPrivacy, but came pretty close.
Now with Marshmallow-- I have the reverse problem. Though LBEsec has apparently been updated for Marshmallow in Chinese and German, none of the English translations seem to work yet fully in Marshmallow (the "active defense"- the core of the security- doesn't seem to be working). XPrivacy however, does seem to be working (though I haven't reloaded it)
So the question for me now is--- stick with LBEsec - with its slick interface functionality and stay on Lollipop? Or is marshmallow worth it and I should switch back to Xposed and XPrivacy? Has XPrivacy gotten more user friendly?
Anyone else have experience with both security platforms and have a preference?
Or alternative?
Thanks!
(*Note- originally posted in sprint galaxy s6 sub-forum but got no answers-- apparently not many people have experience with both so I moved it up here)
I'm wondering the same thing. I found your thread by googling if there were any better options than Xposed.
You might want to put this on one of the general forums so that other Android users can give their opinions. For now, I think I'll install Xposed and Xprivacy on my Asus Zenfone, unless I can find any more information.

Well I'm glad someone finally replied to this... I also thought of moving it to the 'security' section.
I will note a couple things in terms of 'update'.
1. It doesn't seem that the formerly great working LBESec has been updated with a new english version in a long long time.
2. Rather than XPrivacy, I've actually been using Protect My Privacy (PMP) , which is a project by either Carnegie Melon or the University of California San Diego to provide cell phone privacy options. It's a bit more user friendly than XPrivacy, though a bit less granular. It also occassionally with a recent update slows the phone some-- I'm hoping that is just a glitch that gets resolved soon.

Hi all.
As I recently unlocked my smartphone and installed a custom ROM, I was wondering what were Google position about GApps. I read some quick news online about this but there's nothing clear. To me it's not "piracy" or "hacking" as most of us don't modify their apps. Actually I think we really enjoy Google's services and this is why we need those packages.
My point is we're customers of Google even we make some changes on our devices. As far as I know, this company is more or less in an "open source mood". Do you guys know if there's (somewhere) an official response to this ?
Thanks. :good:
Hello Mates,
i am really glad to be a member of this great forum and respect all the Devs and members here. They do alot work and give us great Roms for testing and daily using. I just wonder why there are no Roms which have special functionality which safes our privacy, no tracking, backdoors and listening and so on. I know google is listening to us cause i always got advertising on instagram and faceboot about what i talked with my friends.
I use hygrogen Os and use aurora store but many apps doesnt work withour google services like Line, Paypal and so on. And i am not shure if hydrogen is good for privacy cause it is for chinese users.
Best Regards
Coktail
You're not looking hard enough. Heck, LineageOS is easy to find.
