This seems simple enough and I though a quick search would set me straight, but I can't seem to find the answer to this.
Is there a way to prevent data access for individual apps? (both WiFi and 3/4G)
Essentially, I'm trying to block internet access for certain apps while the rest on the device is connected.
I'm running CM10.2 on a GS3.
Thanks in advance.

You'll need to install the Xposed framework from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=24267797
After you have it installed, reboot so that the framework applies.
Then grab Xprivacy from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320783
Install Xprivacy then go back to the framework, it is installed as an app, select modules, enable Xprivacy, reboot the phone.
After your phone is done rebooting, open Xprivacy from the app drawer, it may ask for root, allow it, Find your app, Disable it's data connectivity, Annnnnnd profit? Cheers!

Profit, you say? Straight to phase three, eh?
I was really hoping there'd be a setting somewhere I'm just not aware of. Didn't wanna have to mess with frameworks and such
Thanks for the help.
Just grab a firewall app. This way you can prevent what ever app you want from getting access. Xposed can cause issues depending on your set up.

Hi people!
I recently rooted my grand prime and i want to share the modifications and tweaks that you can apply to your phone.
Mine is the G530FZ, but these can be applied to any grand prime, since this settings are generic even to other phones.
I am very interested in improve the privacy and the functionality of my phone, and some settings don't need root, but im going to share with you anyway since improves your privacy.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT

Enable Dev Options:
Go to About this device, Compilation number and press it repeatedly until it says "Now you are a developer!"
Go back, developer options and tick USB Debugging to enable ADB over USB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed Busybox, using Smart Install (Safest), this is important for most of tweaks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I disabled KNOX, SAMSUNG SUPPORT TOOL and bloats like:
-Play Music
-Play Kiosk
-Play Videos
-Drive
-Samsung Billing
-Play Games
-Galaxy Apps
-Google+
-Samsung Account
-Chrome
And some replaced by:
-Apollo
-FBReader
-MXPlayer
-
-
-
-FDroid (Open Source App Market, your privacy want Open Source!)
-
-
-Firefox
To disable knox and support tool connect your phone through adb or use the terminal emulator and type:
su
pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
pm disable com.rsupport.rs.activity.rsupport.aas2
The other apps can be disabled through settings/Application Manager.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed Xposed Framework, and then this plugins:
-The POWERFUL GravityBox [KK] (Interface and usability tweaks)
-XPrivacy (A privacy manager that lets you choose what information can be read by an application, asking you when the application tries to read something like contacts, use superuser, read messages and so on.)
-XPrivacy in App Info (Injects the XPrivacy settings in app info for the selected app)
-XHalo Floating Windows (Something like a window manager, lets you use apps in the way of windows or anything like that)
-Call Blacklist Pro (The name says all)
-App settings (To fix issues with the dpi change, I will explain it later)
-Xposed Preference Injector (To inject xposed plugins settings on the settings app)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To control what applications connect though WIFI and what though 3G I used AFWall+, and configured it like that:
Mode: Black list (Block Selected) --> This can be done pressing the message that says: Mode: White list (Allow Selected)
On Options/Preferences/UI Preferences I unchecked LAN Control.
Then you can check the apps you want on WIFI, on 3G, on none of that, or unchecked for WIFI and 3G
The first time you need to go to Options/Enable Firewall, and every time you modify the settings press Options/Apply.
Is useful if you have a Bank application and you are afraid about ARP Poisoning on WIFI (Man in the middle) or things like that and you often connect to public WIFI's. You can block WIFI for this app, and let only connect trough 3G.
Or you can block data hungry apps to work only on wifi and mantain your 3G data usage on acceptable limits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed
-Performance Control (The performance app on AOKP I think o.o')
With this app i changed the DPI using the build.prop editor on the last tab, and changed ro.sf.lcd_density to 190
Then you need to use Xposed App Settings plugin to set the DPI's of this apps to 240, because are made to this DPI's and looks ugly, and some even not work:
-Camera
-Contacts
If you have any other app looking ugly after DPI change, use this fix, and tell us here
Also the pin numbers on lockscreen will move to the left, but it works, and if you change the DPI's of com.android.systemui the status bar and the notification bar will look fat... (o-__-O)
Don't change cpu settings, i did that and look that does nothing... XD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I am afraid about predictive keyboards and where they send what they predict, so I installed the only Open Source keyboard I found really useful:
-AnySoftKeyboard
It can be installed from FDroid or Google Play, I think that the google play edition updates often
Play a little bit with the settings to get your keyboard of choice, it can be tricky at first.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are really conscious about your privacy, you can search for the dev reports that apps send to the developers without your consent and disable it, if you don't care about that, this reports can be useful to some devs
And last, and the most conspiranoic app here:
-Android IMSI catcher
This app theorically warns you about IMSI stations near you. This stations are fake GSM antennaes with encryption disabled to hear what you hear and read what you send, explaining it quickly.
I don't know if this app really works, but if it works, and you have spyes around you, tell me if it works ;D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if i wrote something wrong, I'm don't speak english on my country, I only know the english I learned from series, games and documentation
If you need some screenshots for any explained here, tell me
Cheers!

To remove system apps Nobloat app is a option for users not familiarized with adb prompt & comand lines.
Nope, i need to install phillz recovery to avoid recovery on reset, besides that is working fine

@kentone, which method of rooting did you use?
Is it then KingUser or SuperSU?
Maybe you could throw a link to rooting manual?
one thing I'm happy about is using Greenify and Clean master to hibernate and block apps from autostarting, it leaves me with 320-380 mb free RAM most of the time, however if u add whatsapp and chat apps, you wont get notifications till you open the application which I personally prefer it to be like this.
I rooted with odin method, i have the reboot to recovery bug, but is not a problem for me, this is my 'production' phone and i will not touch it so much until we have cyanogenmod or something. Or when we know why the reboot to recovery bug appears o.o'
Sent from my SM-G530FZ using XDA Free mobile app
About greenify and clean master, throw clean master away and dont hibernate the apps with notifications like IM apps XD if you want more ram download kernel adiutor and put the memory preset on ''agressive'' or one level down that!

In gravity box, cant able to change signal cluster look. Cant add day of week to status bar tweaks. Help me please. I have selected lollipop icons but they are not changing. I also tried reboot.
Amazing things you can do after rooting
Yeah but there are lot more benefits of rooting even though there are certain risks , . Most amazing benefit I think is we can remove bloatware and also block ads which is brainstorming though there are still deelopments going on in that field. Have you tried adblocker Browser??

could you please help me to install xposed framework in g531h
Hi guys,
I have Amlogic S812 streamer Xtreamer Wonder and it's running on 4.4.2 Android.
In the Settings menu there is no possibility (no menu at all) to add another Google account in addition to the one that was created initially. As a result all Google apps such Play Market, Gmail, Drive etc, working with one and only account without ability to switch to another one if needed. It's especially limiting with Paid apps which was bought under different accounts...
I tried to search all over the internet for the similar issue, but surprisingly did not found any ...
All the rest functionality is as usual, I also have root, thanks to the Rooting Guide by C3C076
Any help is very appreciated!
This is how Settings menu looks like :
Unfortunately, this firmware disable this feature.
So, to change google account, you have to use adb tool and remove /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file (if box is root) and add another account.
If box isn't root, you have to factory reset this box to add new account

Thanks for your answer water275, but is what you mean is just removing existing and adding a new one, but there still will be only one account ?
I tried to use few different apps which can manage existing accounts and I had there the option to remove account, but not to add. So in order to remove i think i can use this way, instead of adb. But what about to have multiple accounts? Absolutely impossible ?
What is interesting is that those account management apps allowed me to go into sync options for existing accounts. So it looks like the Xtreamer just hiding required functionality (menus) and not completely removed them. I was thinking in direction of xml files which are responsible for menu layouts, but i have not too much knowledge with them...
You can use Gmail. When you slide left panel in, there's an arrow next to your profile name. When you expand it you will see "Manage accounts" menu option.
Alternatively you can use my simple app (attached) I created for this purpose.

Sorry, you are right. I got confused because of launching that app on my phone which runs lollipop. It unfortunately behaves differently on KitKat.
I'll try your app on my android stick in car, there is also 4.4.2 just to compare, but as i said earlier even that menu that your app shows is not available from the usual settings menu, so it seems like Xtreamer just hiding these menus for some reasons.

For some reason on my Android stick in the car your app can't be installed. I have Install and Cancel buttons, but Install not clickable. I'll try similar app from the store later.
Found solution !
The reason is that Xtreamer installed custom Gmail app that is not asking for update and installed as a system app (you can't uninstall it in usual way). This app have no option to add/manage account as I shown on the screenshots above.
Thanks to ROOT i was able to remove that app completely from /system/apps , and installed official Gmail app from the store. In the official app there is full managing functionality for accounts and i was able to add multiple gmails there.
I highly recommend to uninstall pre-installed Drive and Youtube apps too.
In the general settings menu of Android there is still no manage account section, but at least I can get there through Gmail now.
Thanks to everybody for your help !
This module prevents components from trying to enable themselves.
---------------------------------
We can use MyAndroidTools or MyAndroidTools Pro (you can find them in the Google Play) to disable components(service,broadcast receiver,activity,content provider).
But any app can enable their own component through an open api (setComponentEnabledSetting).
This module just prevent it.
The icon comes from Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan.
1. Log:record all the components that use "setComponentEnabledSetting" to enable themselves,not matter whether it is checked in the blacklist.
2. BlackList settings:select the app you want to block,then save.
--------------------------------------------
//the main source code:
Code:
XposedHelpers.findAndHookMethod("android.app.ApplicationPackageManager",
loadPackageParam.classLoader,
"setComponentEnabledSetting",
ComponentName.class, int.class, int.class,
new XC_MethodHook() {
@Override
protected void beforeHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
if (((int) param.args[1]) == PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED) {
param.args[1]=PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED;
}
}
});
I love your app !!! What version do I need to be on for this to work ?
Would be nice if you explained more info in your thread ? What exactly does this do that the app already doesn't ?
does MyAndroidTools 1.2.8.7 apk need to be installed first and then this Xposed Module 0.1?
how exactly does this work? please explain in detail and also the installation procedure.
I agree with m0han. The module doesn't provide us with a user interface. So when activated through Xposed, what exactly is it doing? Do we need to download the apk from the app store? More clarification is needed before I activate this module. Thanks.

Awesome, thank you!
Finally something to stop K9-Mail and Google Play store from starting at boot
Would you consider making the Xposed module or even MyAndroidTools open source? Xposed modules and root apps are scary and releasing the source would increase trust immensely.
I bought the pro version and I would actually buy it again or donate for an open source version. Your app and XPrivacy (open source ) make a very nice couple on any phone :laugh:
@wangqi060934, it is very cool and higly anticipated feature. Thank you!
But how does it work? How does it distinct components disabled by me with MyAndroidTools and components disabled by host app itself? And, by the way, can such components be visually distinguished in MyAndroidTools's GUI?
I don't know the nature of this facts but some apps (e.g. Gmail) indeed have services which are disabled without any manual intrusion.
Kind regards!
There is a beta2 now. I already have MyAndroidTools 0.9.8.6 installed from Play Store. I downloaded the beta through Xposed and installed it as we usually do for Xposed modules, enabled it in Xposed and rebooted.
If we go to XPOSED>modules and click on My AndroidTools, we are asked to activate the module. When we click OK, it goes back to the modules screen and if once again clicked, the UI appears. We have Log, Blacklist and Settings options at top left.
The blacklist menu gives options of third party apps and system apps and when you choose one, the apps are listed with a checkbox against their names. Till now I have experimented. After this comes the conjecture.
If we choose one or more of the apps and click the save button at top right, then that app is prevented from enabling itself unless we invoke that app ourselves. This is my understanding. I have not attempted it. I am afraid as 1. I am not an expert 2. there is no info about what this module actually does 3. it is an Xposed module 4. I won't have my laptop for some more time (in case something happens).
The settings option has only one option to show a toast when a blocking happens. The log is a log.
So if somebody else is brave enough to experiment further or if the OP explains things, I would be happy.
EDIT:
The app also appears in the app drawer and clicking it has the same effect as from Xposed.
if you do a search on xda theres more info on this app when you find it try the tenshi_xp settings.
v0.2 is not working for me, it always show me that the Module is not active even though I can see in Xposed Log it's loaded.

There seems to be an issue with the UI. I also get the popup that the app is not active and asking me to activate it. If I activate it, the UI closes. The workaround I found is to open it from recents. Then the UI stays and you can play with it.

Version 0.3 seems to work again.
I was wondering about the purpose of a blacklist. When I disable a service for an app with MyAndroidTools, I do not want that app to re-enable said service. Essentially this means that all apps should be activated in the blacklist in the Xposed module?
There is a version 0.6 now. Further the Dev has also furnished more info on the app in the first post.
When we reboot after enabling the app in Xposed and open the app, the log populates and shows the components which have been enabled through 'setComponentEnabledSetting'. We can then long press the component which we want to disable and choose 'blacklist'. It is then shown as blacklisted. The 'blacklist settings' shows the third party apps installed on the phone which can be selected and saved for blocking.
So find any component or third party apps which you want to block and do so. When something is chosen for blocking and it tries to enable itself, it is blocked and an entry appears in the log with its name and the time of its blocking.
If anyone finds any further info, please post the same so that we can learn.

No. You check the log and if you find the blocked app/component shown as started, then you add it to the blacklist.
As the Dev explains in the first post, not all disabled apps/components enable themselves. Only a few do so. You find them from the log and block them. Not all.

Yes, I noticed. Of the 200 apps installed on my phone, only K9-Mail and Google Play Store try to re-enable some services.
The question is, does blacklisting impact performance? If not, one could simply blacklist all apps and not care about checking the log. On my ancient Sony Xperia Mini Pro, blacklisting all apps did not seem to slow down the phone noticeably.
Installed it and it worked perfectly; however I had to uninstall the module since it caused, sometimes, a bootloop. It didn't happened all the time and if I accessed to the recovery and rebooted the phone after a forced shutdown, phone booted correctly. I'm almost sure it's the module fault because since I uninstalled it the phone is working smoothly, anyway I don't know how to provide a log in order to help.
I have a Oneplus One running custom CM12.1 by Sultanxda.

[GUIDE] Getting notifications back after GMS install hack on Huawei phone
This is the method that I used to get notifications back on my P40Pro+ after a GMS hack install. I am not saying it will work for everyone and indeed if you need Google location tools on all the time, dont follow this but if your not too worried, then have a read. It has been taken from other guides out there and a little bit of my own for testing. It can be reversed and backed out of it you dont like it but as I keep getting questions on Facebook about how I done it, I thought I would share it with you too.
In this method you will need :
Huawei multitool V8 from here
Push Notification Tester from Playstore here or wherever you get your apps from
Disabling GSF
Disable Google Services Framework (GSF) using Huawei Multitool v8.
Using this tool on a Windows PC, you will find a section in the Modifications section for disabling apps on a adb connected phone to the app. Connect your phone and select show system apps and look for 'com.google.android.gsf' and select 'disable'.
See image below attached 'Multitool V8 Disabled app'
I disable (GSF) using this as it is easier for me than to use icebox or other freezer apps.
To test notifications are now working
Once disabled check that you can now receive notifications by opening Push Notification Tester installed from Playstore before starting this, will allow you to test notifications. With GSF disabled, they should now work as they should. See attached screen shots below 1-4.
Another way to test them is to just send your self an email. Just make sure you have notifications set in the setting menu first. You can try the notification tester in Outlook but does time out a lot but perseverance can prove it works but an email to your self is just as good. See screen shots 6 and 7 for where this is in the outlook help pages. Screenshot 8 shows Outlook notifications working.
The reason this works I believe is that most apps relying on GMS, their notifications work through GSF and with the GMS hack, they can't, so by disabling GSF, they can use their own default route again, through themselves.
The downside is that with GSF disabled, Google Playstore no longer works and also Google location history, there may be more but it has no real affect unless you rely on them (I dont). Maps still work with directions, Waze too but not your history or phone location via Google. Find you phone via Huawei still works obviously, so you still have other options. Of course, you can use Aurora Playstore instead or any other playstore option and if you have paid apps through Googles Playstore, then you can go to GSF in settings/apps on your phone and enable GSF (see screen shot 5 below) or via the Multi tool V8 again, download your paid app update etc and then disable it via multitool v8 after to get notifications back.
Thanks for the guide, wierd issue for me. Once my phone is conencted, and i disable the service via the Multi Tool, i still have access to the Playstore.
Going to apps -> system prcoesses, it doesnt have the disabled text next to the process. if i click on it, it says "Enable" and "Force Stop". Which initially leads me to think this has been disabled. Then once i go to Push Notification Tester, it fails on step 3 - Register for Push Notifications.
You should not have Playstore access. You dont have any work accounts installed? They have 2 gsf's etc. I would use the muti tool to check for disabled apps. It should show gsf.
May be re do?
I am able to enable and use Playstore, then disable it again to get notifications back at will, so you should too.

I think I know the issue. I have installed GSM the old way (which used to work). If you look at the start of this video he shows two devices ( both with GSM) one which fails the notification tester app, and one which passes. He then uses the icebox method to grt notifications on the phone which passes the tests
https://youtu.be/A4889MUA9EQ
I think I may have to factory reset and use this new method ??
Good luck and if you do, please let us know what method is currently working.
Can you please check for me, if it's possible to install the game jw alive with this method? Offer 5€ via Paypal for this. Just write your Email via PM

[GUIDE] Getting notifications back after GMS install hack on Huawei phone
This is the method that I used to get notifications back on my P40Pro+ after a GMS hack install. I am not saying it will work for everyone and indeed if you need Google location tools on all the time, dont follow this but if your not too worried, then have a read. It has been taken from other guides out there and a little bit of my own for testing. It can be reversed and backed out of it you dont like it but as I keep getting questions on Facebook about how I done it, I thought I would share it with you too.
In this method you will need :
Huawei multitool V8 from here
Push Notification Tester from Playstore here or wherever you get your apps from
Disabling GSF
Disable Google Services Framework (GSF) using Huawei Multitool v8.
Using this tool on a Windows PC, you will find a section in the Modifications section for disabling apps on a adb connected phone to the app. Connect your phone and select show system apps and look for 'com.google.android.gsf' and select 'disable'.
See image below attached 'Multitool V8 Disabled app'
I disable (GSF) using this as it is easier for me than to use icebox or other freezer apps.

As of today, i can confirm that this method works for notifications, just make sure to restart your device after disabling / enabling.
As for the push notifications, gmail not working for me, outlook works. other apps works too, but from time to time it doesnt push properly, maybe battery optimisation or something i dont know. any idea for this issue?
anyone have any updates on this? I too have the problem - random notifications come in (usually a bunch coupled together)....Trying to figure out a real solution. Any one have any luck?

@Sathelp -> When you say this at the previous quote message, you really can tell that I can disabled and then enable GSF to receive notifications and then use Play Store ?? Right ??
Will have message issues that "Google requires an action ... etc" and I must reinstall all GMS if I enable GSF again ??
My guide was based on A10 at launch. I used the G app with a back date to get my GMS before it was blocked. Using that at the time worked fine. Disable GMS using adb command enabled notifications as they worked through HMS. I just enabled GMS to run playstore, get and update apps and then disable it for normal use.
As I have not downgraded or used googlefyer etc, I can't say how it will work with these newer methods.
The idea of the workaround to deactivate GSF for receiving push notifications emerged in April or Mai 2020. Over half a year has passed now... Maybe there is a better solution now to have GSF activated and get all push notifications? It would still be great to have a working play store and the notifications!
Any progress in that matter? Any new ideas?

We're looking for something at this thread, we can keep GSF unfrozen and get push notificacions ... but after 12 hours Play Protect errors started to appear.
There are at least two users that they haven't this issue and all it works fine ...
How to get notification without freezing GSF
Below is a third version of the guide (ok, it's 3.5). As of January, 15th I've added great finding by @Seresseran1. Thanks man! The below guide will provide you with fully working Google services, play store will work, push notifications will...
forum.xda-developers.com
This sounds great, thx
And because this doesn't work on all devices yet:
Maybe another possible solution could be to let the desired apps only *think* that GSF is not available. So that they try using their own default route again...
But hot could that be accomplished. Maybe via App Cloner?
