LBE Translation

Hi Guys,

i have a problem with LBE and Whatsapp. On the first time i've installed LBE everythking is fine and works. Thanks for english translation.

But now if someone wanna send me a message at whatsapp there is no notification anymore.

I've already check every settings but i can't find anything why whatsapp could be blocked.

I remembered first time i've installed it the app is telling me something about kills all tasks after 30 minutes if i pressed the lockscreen button on the side of my sgs3. But i cant find the settings to this anymore. Does someone have the same problem? Or can help me to solve this.

Kind Regards

Man I can't believe that the app page doesn't mention that this thing will put you into a boot-loop on jellybean. I totally forgot about that went I went to install it on my N4 the other day. With that in mind, is it very difficult to install PDroid instead?

Was great on ICS - Bootloop in JB - Biftor ROM

Used to work great. No issues. However, on installing on my new JB ROM, it went into constant bootloop.

Rebooted into safe mode (hold menu button during boot) and uninstalled.

Looking for an alternative!

Same for galaxy s3

Same thing happened to me. I hadn't even given full root access by permanently granting. As soon as I accepted the first su request. It sent my 4.1.1 jellybean S3 into an infinite loop. It would give me normal access for about 30 seconds than it would give me the loop business.

Sorry to inform you or anyone that you will need to reset through recovery. Don't worry to ref lash unless you want to but ugh.

Thanks for the info there - I didn't know about safe mode. I had boot loop on JB and removed it by :

adb shell

reboot

(I tried adb uninstall but that just sat there)

I have been using LBE for quite awhile. I loved the version from the market that worked ok on ICS but crashed JB. I've had to use the new version 4 security master with JB and it works fine but I still miss the older version that I still use on my tablet with ICS.

I had seen a post where someone had got it working by moving it to system apps and changing permission or something but I can't seem to find that post again. Has anyone figured this out or has everyone just switched to v4.
[Android Apps and Games] therighttime:
If you are stuck with this on JB, you can go on google play on your computer, > my installed apps > find LBE privacy and uninstall it from there.

Go back home, turn your phone on (so you can be on your super fast low latency wifi) and it will uninstall the app before the phone crashes again. That's how I fixed it.

[Android Apps and Games] p107r0:
I wouldn't get high hopes, developers of LBE do not seem to visit xda forum, even the translation of LBE Privacy successor, i.e. LBE Security Master is being done by xda volunteers, as the app is published only in Chinese...
[Android Apps and Games] La_Globule:
Hi all,

I'm using both AFWall+ and LBE PG.

These two deal with iptables.

After booting my S2, when I list the firewall rules with AFWall+, I only see entries related to LBE PG.

Even if I reapply the rules in AFWall+, they're lost after a reboot.

AFWall has been installed after LBE PG.

So my questions are :

- is this behaviour correct for you ?

- if the two products interfere, as I want to use AFWall+ as the firewall, is there a way to disable the network part in LBE PG and how ?

Thanks for your answers.

Its not as user friendly as privacy guard but has more features and is jelly bean friendly.

Unfortunately it's only sometimes JellyBean friendly.

I'm running stock 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US Android 4.1.2 on a Razr Maxx. No go with LBE Security Master. I've tried several versions, including the latest, multiple installations, they all go to boot loop as soon as active protection is allowed. I've done full uninstalls, wiped cache/data, etc. I do run Avast, but have also tried at least once or twice with Avast uninstalled.

I've seen several other users post, different smartphones, having the same boot loop problem using LBE Security Master on 4.1.2.

The new LBE Security Master 4.5.2917 seems fine on my Razr Maxx w/JB -- good update, no more boot loops.

After install LBE PG on jb4.x:

Start lbe once. It will create files. DO NOT GRANT SU RIGHTS FIRST TIME TO AVOID THE SERVICE START!

In any case, you can turn off the autostart.

Change permissions:

Start LBE service, confirm su rights. If it works, enable autostart.

Tested on SE Xperia Ray, CM10_fxp213.
[Android Apps and Games] Alphabet_Dessert:
Thank you for posting these instructions.

I had LBE constantly restarting my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 (Android 4.1.2) and now it seems stable. And I only had to do your process twice.

Unfortunately I've uninstalled it already as it seems that at this moment it is a dummy program when it comes to blocking other applications to connect to the Internet (the reason I had it installed in the first place).

To test it out I used LBE to block an app that relies on the Internet to work and that other app kept updating with new content nevertheless.

I even restarted my phone (as some apps need a phone restart to fully work) and unfortunately there was no change. LBE doesn't seem to work for that purpose (at least not on my phone) so I was a little suspicious about it and removed it.
[Android Apps and Games] NiteTrekker:
LBE used to work before Jelly Bean. When Jelly Bean came out, it would put the phone in a constant boot loop. Since then, many people have posted instructions for "fixing" this issue. All they managed to do was somehow stop the constant boot loop and thought they problem was fixed. They didn't take the extra step to verify that it was actually blocking selected apps like it was supposed to!

Good job to you for proving that LBE is a waste of time on Jelly Bean.
[Android Apps and Games] Alphabet_Dessert:
Update: I've just tried the translated LBE Security Master App and this one seems to work, in regards to blocking apps accessing the Internet.

And it also has some other interesting features.

Find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1422479

What I think happened is that LBE focused their attention on this one (which is geared towards the Chinese market) and dropped(?) development on the 'Privacy Guard' app (geared towards the International market). Their reason? Well, who knows? But it's good that someone has bothered to translate it for the rest of us.
[Android Apps and Games] parabajarse:
Ohhhhh. Didn't work for me. Sniff.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
You can achieve internet blocking with simple firewall apps. Much safer than using an app that cripples your OS. And it's non compliant to Google's policy (not changing APK/OS code), hence it can no longer be published on Play Store. That might explain why they dropped development?

Waste of time on any Android app if you ask me :D, cripples the OS, drains battery, etc... Everything can be done with better and less elusive apps, except permission blocking. However "optional permissions" are coming to Android, so this will make this app completely useless/worthless.

Don't be sad, they are better alternatives :) maybe less shiny but more functional and less crippling (more compliant).

I used to like the app though, the PG was really useful, however most used it as an ad blocker, a little heavy for ad blocking if you ask me. But how many times a complete ROM flash was needed after installing this app? Might be another reason for dropping dev on this?
[Android Apps and Games] chrcol:
What are these alternatives? I think LBE is pretty nifty and it can save battery power as it can block apps doing things that would otherwise use battery power.

My phone can work for 10 days between charges when mostly idle.

However I do wonder if LBE affects performance tho.

I also disable the firewall on LBE and use droidwall/afwall instead.

[Android Apps and Games] jaibar:
I

That's not a real alternative, as it just denies some permissions- many apps won't work because of this. Cyanogenmod 7 used to had this function built in, as well as several permission management apps in the market.

LBE, on the other hand, was supposed to give the app whatever information it was requesting (e.g. location, phone numbers etc)- but spoofed. So the app would get some "info" (false) and won't crash.

I haven't used a MIUI ROM for quite a while so not sure what is the present status, but I'm sure that it had incorporated LBE as a security module integrated/bundled within the ROM, so I don't think it could be that bad as some suggest from time to time.

Anyway, pdroid and it's variants can be considered real (and probably better) alternatives to LBE, but they used to be more of a hassle to patch the ROM and install, and many roms were not compatible. Worth reading the threads about them here in xda. Again, not sure how it works nowadays with JB roms, but definitely worth checking.

Anyone knows how to remove the LBE notification that permanently stays there ?
[Android Apps and Games] p107r0:
on 4.1+ it probably could be done from android settings - in app manager / LBE / disable notifications

well it disables all the notification, but i just want to disable the permanent white bar in the notification area (not the temporary notifications)

i guess its not possible..
[Android Apps and Games] p107r0:
I have LBE SM, so I'm not sure how it'll go with LBE PG, but there is/was a setting "show security events in notifications" or sth similar - maybe your version has it?
[Android Apps and Games] stbi:
In LBE SM the permanent notification can be turned off in "Settings > Notification bar icon".

I see this thread hasn't been posted to in a while. I love this app. I used it on my ET4G S2 for a few years. I stayed with GB all of that time (after a few tries with JB, etc.).

But I noticed there were some issues with the newer android versions. Some thought it a permissions issue that could be dealt with in recovery. Now that I've rooted my Note 3 (vrz), I'll probably try to reinstall this app. Is anyone still using it? Any issues or workarounds? I'm on JB 4.3.

[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Barker:
On Android 5.1, LBE causes all my widgets to freeze, and closes all apps that need to remain in memory, such as my alarms and etc. If I uninstall LBE and reboot, the widgets and apps work fine.

Is this a known problem and if so, is there a solution? I've been running an old version of LBE on another phone running Android 4 for years with no issues whatsoever. But the current version of LBE on my new phone makes the phone unusable.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

This thread suddenly popped in my tapatalk "participated" stuff.. It's so old, I don't even remember it existed ?

Now, if you haven't noticed, there wasn't much going on in it for me than a year and half. For Android, this is the equivalent of several lifetimes (like the one human year is about seven dog-years??).

So, considering since this thread last posts are about that it is not working in the "new" Android Jelly Bean... And much very much has changed since then, maybe you're lucky it didn't mess anything. Besides, LBE never went open source (as far as I know- I could be wrong), so I wouldn't trust it too much.

If you're staying on LP for a while, and you are concerned by privacy (and security), maybe you can try xposed framework with modules like Xprivacy?

lt works great, is constantly supported and updated, xda thread is as alive as any and it does the best job in spoofing, denying or allowing whatever permissions you'd like to allow/block on any app.

It works best than any other similar stuff that I've tried (e.g. lbe, cyanogenmod's permission blocker, Google's similar stuff introduced intermittently in their Android versions, or some solution which i forgot the name that required patching the whole rom and flashing e the patched zip hoping it won't bootloop etc. etc.).

Hey ,

I use this app a lot of time but I have one big problem with.

The app block notifications from a lot of apps on my phone.

Is there a way that it does not block ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] GAMBOT8:
By the way, be careful. This app affects sound record apps when the screen is off. When you start recording sound, this app affects the app's functionality and it stops recording sound. I don't know how to solve this problem, but when you disable its security management or deny its root permission, then you can have the sound record as previously as used to be. This probably happens to prevent people from listening to you secretly.
[Android Apps and Games] rabdouladekaboul:
Hi there!

Great great app!

Maybe it's stupid but is it possible to ''kill'' LBE with a task manager after configuration? To keep memory.

I know there is a real-time low level firewall but maybe it's ''whrite'' on system so it doesn't need the app still in memory...

Thanks in advance

Good wishlist to hide icon in notification.

I am using password protect app protector in the meantime to prevent anyone messing around with the lbe privacy guard settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr. lele:
It should be possible to hide the icon in the notification bar and to protect the app itself with a password! But besides that, awesome app and brilliant idea!

What could also be added: different colours of the pop-ups, or different themes in the app. Because the red colour just doesn't fit in my green/black UI :D

You guys deserve to be bought by Google for LOADS of cash and have this system implemented in Android 3.2.

I'm curious, how many people made this app and how long did it take? Is it basically a collection of broadcast recievers checking for these types of access? If so/if not, how much processing is this all doing in the background ... what I'm really asking is how much of a battery life impact do you think this is going to have?

Anyway, I wish I could thank you multiple times :)

With all the talk in the media lately of the tracking that is occurring with ios/android, it is a welcome change to see the prevention of so many imei requests, contact lists, etc from apps I would never think of.

Also, first reboot after install maps and blogger reinstalled/updated. Odd. Must be related to this app because I have not installed any others.

Thanks for this great App.

I´m wondering how much Apps try to get my IMSI/IMEI.

Is that normal?

Many, many thanks
[Android Apps and Games] :
I wondered the same thing about the IMEI and did some research. Some apps use it to basically do research on their customers, analytics. Some apps are even subsidized because they want your IMEI, example Swype. Blocking IMEI was recently a feature in one of the CM7 nightlies, this outraged Swype. Swype argued that they couldnt justify selling their keyboard to OEMs and turning around and giving it away for free to the public (unless they could obtain information about your device and how you use it). So one of the mods or something from Cyanogen said that he didnt know how that feature made it into the nightly but it would NEVER be part of cm. He said blocking IMEI will infuriate Google, devs, and maybe OEMs also. Of course im paraphrasing, but do a Google search and im sure you will see what Im talking about. IMEI blocking/spoofing is kinda the hot topic with Android right now imo.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
IMEIs are abused as cookies that you can't opt out of. IMEI blocking/spoofing is essential.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Great app! Privacy Settings Manager is not released yet and Permissions Denied doesn't work on my Motorola Defy. LBE Privacy Guard does the job, together with DroidWall and AdFree.

Getting rid of the notification bar icon and protecting the app with a password would be great additions. What about an option to control internet access with IP tables so that we can allow internet access by WiFi but deny apps to go online over 3G (or vice versa)? And maybe a bit more control over what apps can do online: yes, you can download maps/music/updates; no, you can not contact Google Analytics or AdMob.

Would it be possible to split up the phone identification permissions? A VoIP app may have a good reason to read my phone number, but that doesn't mean it needs my IMEI or IMSI. Maybe LBE can feed fake IMEIs and IMSIs to apps that ask for them without really needing them?
[Android Apps and Games] :
You proved my point, everybody has an opinion about it. Everybody is talking about it is what i meant. I agree IMEIs are abused. I was only sharing what i read about because several previous comment were askiing why so many apps are constantly requesting IMEI.

Bug: when LBE shuts down/starts/restarts it shuts down my launcher (GO), SetVsel, Quick Settings, Lookout, and probably some other apps too.

Would it be possible to shut down/(re)start LBE without shutting down my other apps, or at least make them restart together with LBE?
