Hi, i use a Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 With stock rom and Siyah Kernel 3.3.2
I was wondering which of these 2 (LBE / DroidWall) is doing better his job ?
I mean block internet access to some app ..
It seems that LBE Is working background, and Droidwall don't ..
That means LBE is draining my battery life ?
So my question is : Which of these 2 is more viable .. Doing his job without draining battery life
Thanks ! :good:
I use PDroid and DroidWall. PDroid can be found here on XDA and does the same as LBE (and beter imo) and is also open source which LBE is not. And because of the premision/access you give an app like LBE/PDroid I prefer the one that is open source. DroidWall I also use even tough I read that it leaks data when starting your phone, I believe it was on the blog android underground. But I stil like the combination with PDroid.

i used LBE and that was an eye opener to me. so simple, so effective, nice. but since i upgraded my Galaxy Nexus to Jelly Bean (with Paranoid Android mod) it doesn't work anymore, gets into a serious bootloop.
Pdroid is not available for Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean, either.
permission denied is lousy imo.
what to do?
what to use?
LBE Security (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422479) works on my Galaxy Nexus JB with Paranoid Android 2.13 and has LBE Privacy Guard for Permission Management included.
NICE
thanks >eksasol<

+1 for DroidWall. It has the added benefit of blocking ads in a particular app if you decide to not allow it access to the network.
However, I should say that it doesn't EXACTLY do what you are asking. It allows you control as to what apps may or may not access the network, either via 3g, WiFi, or both. As far as I know, it doesn't tell you when one of the apps you allow access to the network actually does.
If you want something that asks you to allow/deny, try this
ps this was the 3rd result for android firewall, the first 2 being droid wall, just saying everything is out there google and you shall find.
Edit: well it seems twitter brought the company behind whispermonitor and thus all the downloads have disappeared, I will try to find an apk.
Edit2: it seems that whispermonitor only worked on the nexus S and one other phone, shame it looked promising.
Your best bet is droid wall, there is also Pdroid but it needs a rom patch.
Thank you
Will try your recommend solution

Well i did some more reading about it, and its more of a whole rom/rom mod than an apk file and it was only compatible with the nexus S and Desire I think.
Droidwall is your best bet.
Avast firewall do better than droidwall, it really alert you if any apps trying to make an connection on yhe the background, but avast is big app that come with antivirus protection which seems to be useless for android os so far.

I'll add AppTrafficFree https://market.android.com/details?id=net.ir.apptrafficfree
is the best to see which apps or games are wasting your data.

That app is great.
Thank you

This app is great but it would be nice if you can reset the counter so that we know what data we have used in a month or week.
THank You

Does anybody know of a working firewall for cm9. or if you know a work around to maker the likes of Droid wall works.
Thanks
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
I believe Quarx just posted working droidwall for ICS! Take a look in the froyo ICS thread

thank me!
Or LBE
You can check LBE Privacy Guard from the play store. It worked for me. It has some great features and i have been using it for a long time. It recently got a ui and performance overhaul and works ok with CM9.
We can now use the PDroid App on the YP-G70!
For those that don't know PDroid is a privacy protection app that allows you to block apps from accessing your private info. Read about it in it's XDA thread HERE.
I have attached both the patch and the restore script if you should want to remove it. Just flash using CWM.
Hope this helps someone.
Hey, this looks pretty sweet. Is it only for the Generic Ginger, or can it be flashed in other stock-based ROMs?
I prefer to use lbe security
It's not needing any patch, just to be rooted and doing exactly the same

lbe privacy guard isn't available for the SGP5.0 at Google Play
Couldn't find an answer so plz don't flame me... I've tried using droidwall app to block certain apps from using my data connection and for ex. I blocked YouTube and it can still access the web . The app has Su permission and I'm running shostock2 v 3.0.4 and cherry picker kernal if anyone else out there has a fix at all thank u

Hello Everyone,
I'm a new user of android OS and GS3 and I don't know much about its apps
I wanna know if there is any application like "Find my Iphone" for the GS3.
And if you know more programs I can use with my phone to protect it from theft or to track it or something like that I'll be grateful
Thanks in advance :good:

Even the pre installed Samsung dive software is quite useful, but I normally install Cerberus as an additional measure. I am a rooted user so this app is quite useful to me

Do you have any advice about anti-virus programs ?
Do you mean anti-virus?
Avast and Dr.Web (beta) are both free and with excellent recognition capabilities.
If you're rooted and want that extra layer, you can also use avast's firewall or Droidwall to prevent apps from connecting to the internet.
Avast additionally brings a lost-/stolen-phone tracker with good capabilities.

Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry I was in hurry and forgot to write "virus" word
Thanks mate for the advice
Actually my phone still in stock condition. I didn't root or customize any thing till now. I'm still reading about the flashing, modding and backup processes and I'm worry of losing the warranty too.
Any way thanks a lot
