I want to know if there is any way to achieve this now.
Someone mentioned xprivacy, but xprivacy is discontinued now...
I know if I use some form of VPN as firewall (net guard, adguard), it can be achieved, but VPNs have downtime, like when you change setting they will restart. I want to make sure if I block some app, it does not have any chance of accessing internet.
EDIT: I have found the solution, afwall+
try adguard
btw, xprivacy has been continued
Won't restricting both WiFi and mobile data data permissions in app info do the trick
Netguard - No Root app is very reliable, fast and effective.

Thanks for the suggestion, some OS does not have these options. All I have is a "limit mobile data in the background" option.

I already have adguard, problem is that if I change any setting, adguard will restart, and there are a few seconds the block is not working. And, what if I need to use another VPN like wireguard from time to time?

Does anyone know of a "find phone" app other than "Antivirus" by AVG?
That one has a function in it called FindR which does the find-phone function, but I have a major fail with the app.
I accidentally entered the wrong email address to log in to the online control panel, and instantly it threw this at me:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Unfortunately, the instructions cannot be followed.
There is no FindR option at settings>tools>FindR !! And no other place to re-enter email address that I can find. So, I no longer have any access to the tracking function. (Yes, I have emailed them. No answer in 36 hours.)
Is there any other app that does this function?
I use Lookout. They also have an app called Plan B that you download AFTER you lose your phone.
"where's my droid" is also useful as it's good for locating your phone even when it's on silent.

Oops, I wasn't clear...I am talking about finding/locating it after stolen or lost.
where's my droid has a function that from another phone you text a code like "gps" and it gets the coordinates and sends them back to you. Has to be outside though.

yes, where's my droid can be used for this as well. for instance, I have mine set to give me the GPS coordinate when I text it the code "GPS where you at?" plan b performs a similar function but only works as long as your google account is still sync'd to the phone
Phonelocator pro is another one.

This.
There's also an app called Where's My Droid which lets you trigger an alarm on your phone or locate it via GPS via SMS.
Prey is another good one.

Much Needed One Bro :good:
Does anyone know what they are actually doing with this.
Website doesn't exist, there's no details on what it is or does.
Just some random promotions on a couple of forums.
Suspicious head on suggests this might be suspicious., I haven't downloaded it to rip apart yet, but I wouldn't rely on the word of a developer who says "this won't harm your device " as a product description

You should try Wakelock Terminator, if you've got xposed.
Quoted from Reddit:
I know a great fix, if this can get to the top it will help a lot of people. It requires the Xposed framework and the module Wakelock Terminator. The free version lets you block 1 app, and that's all we need. Open up Wakelock Terminator, choose to block Google Play services, and filter it with the following: NlpCollectorWakeLock NlpWakeLock CheckinService NetworkLocationLocator
My Google Play Services and whatever else alias it is called went down by a ton, no effect on Google Now. Here's a screenshot of the Wakelock terminator app so you can see what it should look like.

Basically this just disallows it to keep the phone awake while still keeping the functions.
If you don't care about the functions (all these 'location' functions) then you could also get this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice - go to 'Google Play Services' and turn off the servces that keeps a wakelock.
anyone going to "approve" this?
So in that way we must choose batery drain or localization ?
testing now... ty bro
is it really working?
I dont know anything about codes nor trying to bash this developer, but the some google play reviewers state they have gone through the codes and it is nothing but a scam......

Here are my 2 cents on clearing recents.
Recents *used* to be designed so it showed all *cached* apps. If you cleared an individual app, it cleared it from cache. Next time you open that app, it takes more CPU cycles to open it that it would if cached. It was always fine to clear apps you seldom use, however, if you regularly cleared all apps from recents, including apps you use often, you're throwing battery life out of the window - because each time you open an app, you're using more CPU, which uses more power, which uses more battery.
The problem since Lollipop, is that recents not only contains cached apps, it also contains "recent" apps that are not cached. It gets messy so more people want to clear them. Clearing all still has the same negative batter life affects.... My ideal solution with a custom rom, would be to limit those recent apps to cached only apps. Then less people would be bothered about clearing them all the time.

It's Google Play Services.
It may help to turn off Usage Data Access for Google Play Services.
I turned it off for all of my apps that have access/request it.
I've found these two apps to be of use,to make easy work of Googling what exactly an is/does:
PACKAGE INFO:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.osp.pmanagerinfo
APP INSPECTOR:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubqsoft.sec01
How did you find out which apps have permissions for this?

Most all android apps are dependent on Google services. Generally speaking, Google services is heavily integrated throughout many system apps as well as downloaded apps. It's a core dependency. If you get com.google.android.gms errors, it could be one of many applications that can cause this. You would need to run Logs in order to find the culprit or try uninstalling applications one at a time until the error stops appearing. Once you find the app, contact the developer of the app and provide your log and ask for help.
Hey there, thatnks for the info.
But where can i find the logs for such cases?

com.Google.Android.gms refers to Google Play services, which is an essential component of the Android operating system. Google Play services is a collection of APIs (application programming interfaces) and background processes that help apps communicate with each other and with other services provided by Google. It provides features like location-based services, authentication, cloud storage access, and more.

1. Go to Settings and search for 'Private DNS'
2. When you find it, it'll probably be on 'auto' or 'off'
3. Select "Private DNS provider hostname" option and enter one of the following addresses:
Default server (I've been using this one and ads from all apps/browsers etc. are gone.)
If you want to block ads and trackers.
dns.adguard.com
Non-filtering server
If you don't want AdGuard DNS to block ads and trackers, or any other DNS requests.
dns-unfiltered.adguard.com
Family protection server
If you want to block adult content, enable safe search and safe mode options wherever possible, and also block ads and trackers.
