hey i am using data with af wall plus with root & xposed
but still below apps are using data & cant restrict them ?
android OS
GOOGLE SERVICES
can any one suggest me xposed another mod to restrict these apps from using data ???
Please see screenshot & help me guyz !!
I'm assuming you mean afwall+, and you've configured those apps not to be allowed to agrees the internet yet somehow they do?
I use afwall myself since the days of my old note 2 and never had issues, but look into the following solutions, maybe they'll help :
A vpn style firewall, there's one listed in the xda labs app
Enable afwall xposed add-on, reboot, go to its settings and tick the fix download manager leak option
In afwall settings, your can enable the vpn control, then restrict those apps to vpn access only, maybe it'll help.
Can't think of any other options atm, i hope this helps you.

XPrivacy. You can restrict network permissions on both those apps and any other apps you want. Infact you can restrict pretty much any permission you want with Xprivacy.

bro i installed that app ... it has internet block option but i think blocking them will be applied in wifi & data both ?
i mean if i restrict all apps so apps will also not work with wifi as they dont have differentiation ?
can you please help me out to use XPRivacy app ??
Lightning wall
Check out this xposed firewall called LIGHTNING FIREWALL
valid alternative? not real alternative?
Did someone tried: PMP = protect my privacy ?
available from the playverse and selected stores near you.
Afwall+ with it's granularity is a powerful tool.
Xprivacy is a strong and brillant project with a community.
So back -for sure for me- to the opening question: PMP is good for the phone (and the "my" that's in the phone)? Is flexible enough to fully control all the little happy apps running around in the phone...?

If you restrict network access then it cannot connect to the internet in any way. Ever. Unless you give it back network access.

YOU CAN RESTRICT THEM TO USE INTERNET !

For the data leakages the answer in post #2 by @ticktock666 is the way to go.
But for that to work in a proper mode: check that afwall+ has all the rights from the start (the veryvery start)...
Also afwall+ gives the users a pretty fine granularity when it comes to the rules.
..or did you noticed (captured? logged?) data leaks in other moments of your device work-day?
(es.: on wifi? on data? during the switch from one to the other? a single app? a sequence of apps? our beloved playframe-g-whatever?)

These two are in my next "round robin test".
Good testing and Keep us informed.

NetGuard?
How do you detect leaks? Do you disconnect Wi-Fi/mobile data on reboot?

I don't see any screenshot.... What I use is Xprivacy Pro because it can restrict any Android permissions, and it lets you know what permissions were used, and when. It can be used to show application usage data, and parameters used by data. However pro version of Xprivacy is required for those features. I would really recommend it, but I know it's a lot to take in at first. If you don't know much about Androids, and how they work, then it's probably not for you. There are detailed instructions on how to use it properly.
You can find the the developer's detailed help page here - https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacy#xprivacy
The XDA community forum on Xprivacy is here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xprivacy-ultimate-android-privacy-app-t2320783
I hope that this helps you out. Good luck, and I hope you figure it out.
Best of luck to you....
Hi all. I'm thinking to buy a MI9 but only in case I could find a way to setup multiple users on the device. I understand the MIUI doesn't have this feature by default which has been keeping me away from this manufacturer for a long time. However, I still hope there should be a way to enable the multiuser mode? Anyone?
you're wrong. MIUI has user accounts. just go to settings, special functions and profiles
Not only that, apart from user accounts, you can clone applications on one account that you won't find on other smartphones
You have second space in MIUI 11, but it's only 1 user more
Does there exist an app locker that fully works with Android 11? By "app locker" I mean an app that presents a lock screen on a per-app basis. (Fingerprint support is also good!)
Every one I've tried in Play Store fails to lock the settings, which means it's trivial to bypass by simply uninstalling (and deactivating admin for those that go at least that extra step). Note: I'm not asking for a hacker-proof locker app, just one that is not trivial to bypass for the average or moderately above average user. I do also have a proper lock screen and remote wipe enabled for deeper protection. My use case is just more of a extra bit of protection for if somebody picks up my phone while it is unlocked unattended - just the extra protection so it's not so easy to see email or messages, etc.
I had a OnePlus before getting my Pixel 5A and OxygenOS has such an app lock feature. Again, it wasn't hacker-proof, but it was also not trivial to bypass.
Root/Magisk/XPosed module suggestions are okay for me.
I really am looking into this right now, I need it too!
I found a good one. I tried a lot of different ways to bypass it, but it consistently works. Now, of course, as anybody will tell you, since it runs as a user app, there are ways to kill it (via ADB etc) so it's important to still have device-level security. This is just a defense-in-depth measure, such as when somebody is borrowing your phone or you left it unlocked unattended and want to slow down an adversary.

After receiving my Chinese version of the OP10 Pro, I waited for over a month for the international ROM expecting a seamless flashing experience through "Local install" like in past phones. Unfortunately OP10 Pro seems to have settled in this regard and this is no longer possible, so I decided to make the most out of ColorOS... and was pleasantly surprised.
I've used ADB App Control to debload Breeno, HeyTap and some of the Oppo stuff and the result is pretty good. So far I've disabled:
Breeno
Breeno Scan
Breeno Touch
Calendar
HeySynergy
HeyTap Cloud
Omoji
OPSynergy
Please note that I have not tried OxygenOS for this phone so I'm not sure if some of these features are also available:
Pros so far
The battery is incredible - I'm getting up to 2 days if using the phone with IM/browsing, a full day if I throw in a couple hours of PUBG and some other heavy usage apps.
Call recording works by default
System Cloner - surprisingly useful feature, not only can clone apps but now can also clone the entire system. You can switch from the lockscreen with a different fingerprint or password, and you can even "hide" the secondary system by removing the system cloning options from the main system menu, in which case it becomes only accessible by inputting the alternative password or fingerprint in the lock screen. Super useful to separate life and work, increase privacy in a high censorship country where stuff like VPN apps are forbidden, may be subject to "phone searches", etc.
Privacy Protection - many apps require personal info access to work, and there's no way around it. With this feature you can select which apps with the personal info access permission will get blank data, providing a workaround to being able to use the app while protecting privacy (assuming everything works as advertised)
There's a few other interesting Privacy tools like a Permission use records and the possibility to hide or lock apps
Cons so far
ColorOS comes a bit bloated with Breeno, HeyTap, Omoji and other features that even after disabled remain in the main menus (I've only disabled the main apps so it's possible I'm forgetting related apps)
The internal password manager is local and I can't use my Google saved passwords to auto-fill my apps within android
When transferring phone data from OP8 Pro to OP10 Pro the SMS transferred with switched SIM cards, strangely.
I'd like to hear from ColorOs users about which other features you found useful and some debloating feedback about what else is worth removing!
I hated coloros on my 9RT. Battery life was great as well, but that's because everything except 5 apps are launched at startup and you don't get background updates ultra you open the app every few hours. Phone manager sucks, but I made due with it. You can't change your default msg app.
Hi All
I have a Mi 11 Ultra and installed Noroot Firewall from Grey Shirts some time ago. When checking the logs, I noticed an Internet request from Always On Display. The list of information it transmits is huge (see pic) Of course, I blocked it.
It attempted to contact 20.157.18.58 on the secure port 443. A quick whois search revealed this as Microsoft. A tracert revealed the name:
microsoftirelandoperationslimited-ic-368022.ip.twelve99-cust.net
I'm hoping this is a cloud service, rented by Xiaomi, but I guess it's possible Xiaomi is selling detailed usage data to Microsoft?
Anyway I thought the easiest thing to do was to stop the apps's Internet access, but you can't.
If you go to Settings/Apps/ Manage Apps/Always-on Display/Data Usage, you can disable mobile data, but the Wifi option is turned on and greyed out. Thank heavens for firewalls!
I really like Xiaomi phones, but they really are nosey, with multiple apps attempting to contact multiple sites every few minutes.
What's more, this is my phone I've paid for and my mobile data when I'm out and about. So basically I'm funding Xiaomi's data research.
Anyway, I thought I'd report this in case someone else might benefit.
Cheers
Steve
