Hi, Can someone explain how I white-list certain apps in Jelly Bean from the Data Usage tool?
Orange UK provide free data for some apps and I want to omit these apps from being counted from the total data accumulated over each month so I'm only warned when I go over the data. If there is a recommended alternative to the in built version then great.

Ok so basically I am looking for an app that is similar to that modaco no data app... BUT I need it to allow data access to certain applications (atleast one). Is there any application like this that can allow certain applications to access data while denying the rest?
check out SPB Wireless Monitor I know it will break down your data usage and show you how much data each app is using. Can't remember if it has a limiting feature (cut off data to apps you don't want) or not.
Most apps for winmo have the option to disable data in themselves because developers know that not everyone has a data plan.
Is there an app or a setting where I can choose specifically which applications are allowed to use data or which applications can run in the background?
I have a 200 mb plan from ATT and if I leave data on all the time i go over my limit, but if I could choose which applications are allowed to use background data then I would be able to leave data on and not go over my limit. Thanks!

try this DroidWall?
I've been using DroidWall for long time, it's very handy for rooted phone.
You would be much better off checking, which apps use your data and what they use, and uninstalling / disabling the rest. MUCH better solution.
I have heard a few times around here that you should not use titanium backup to restore app data when upgrading to ics from gingerbread. There are however, a few apps which I really need to keep the data from. Is there any way to manually transfer data from gingerbread to ics without transferring any system data that would screw with ics?

Are you talking about system apps or user apps?

Shouldnt be a problem to restore user apps. The app stores data on the same partition and in the same way regardless of the rom.

While that is true, some (read: VERY FEW) apps do crap out between versions, in which there is no alternative except to clear the app's data. You can do this on an app-by-app basis in the applications menu or through TiBU.
You shouldn't need to do this unless the app force-closes on opening or something of the like. I'd always maintain a backup of your user data through either TiBU, CWM or MyBackup every month or so. Also, Google does support data backup through the Play Store if you've enabled the options in your Settings -> Privacy menu, but I wouldn't hinge on that fact, and I know cases where it didn't work for me.

mine work normal without any updates
dear archer, im a data scientist from western europe managing large darabases and analysing data structures especially on mobile phones. first of all let me say, i try to handle your request in english. hopefully no misunderstandings.
there are several data mechanics "build in" in xiaomi devices, which are programmed to extract as much data as possible, while the user by itself should not be able to manage those data in a certain way. however by importing those models to other parts of the world, they need a round up but xiaomi failed to provide a total fix of their rom guided to western world data privacy rules. (privacy rules variates from country to country)
here we go.
gallery has build in features to track and collect as much as it can and even if indicated to store it hidden on parrellel partitions and storage sectors. while upgrading (or downgrading) your rom and rom features by ota or several further update options it may happen that those unwanted data services from miui rom and its "specific" features causes applications to misbeheviour. thats related to some android key essentials and is not caused by you in most common reasons. particularily the users will notify by strange force closes or empty data sets shown up or even unwanted data appeares to be collected to storage visible to everybody.
to fix this you should rather run custom rom(with mostly less over all security components,very sadly) or look out for a stock rom stable precisivly modified to fit but hard to find. you eventually buy another mobile. in this particular case try to manually back up your third party data u want to keep, save your accounts and stuff, make sure you do not loose any important provider settings and just change release. i would recommend you to look for another mobile.
more informations probably soon but please keep in mind, strange things going on with our data cannot tell you guys much more actually right now hopefully soon.
