Previously LBE used it's own mechanism to block applications connecting to internet which is not based on iptables. Now they are using iptables (like DroidWall) to block internet connections.

In this thread, some people mentioned that they have blocked LBE(previous version) itself with DroidWall, So that LBE can't connect to internet itself. Now they can't do that.

I hope I explained it understandably :)
[Android Apps and Games] upichie:
Perfect explanation. Thank you.

Well, I really hope nothing nefarious is going on here. If only it was open source.
[Android Apps and Games] n0j0e:
Dont know why but firewall doesn't work for me.

I have completely reset DroidWall, reboot, installed LBE (2.0 beta, english), block an App in LBE for internet but the App is not blocked! :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] aaargh777:
As i mentioned before, I installed the Chinese version of lbe and this was the first time it was shown in droidwalls log as connecting. Strange ...
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
Same for me!
[Android Apps and Games] Kurupt1:
Somethings fishy
[Android Apps and Games] upichie:
Have you, or anyone else for that matter, contacted the developer about this? And there's no ads or anything in the new version, correct? I'm still using the old one.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Did you check where it connects to and what data it transmits? Does it send all your contacts back home or does the beta test version just check if the final version is ready yet?
[Android Apps and Games] mnjm9b:
I was checking out the Chinese version and discovered a scary issue...

it never asked for superuser permission nor is it logged in the superuser app...

yet it works none the less...

which also means literally any app on the market could potentially have SU access

without the users knowledge at all.

this, combined with the iptables manipulation makes for a

potentially

very dangerous app.

especially without it being open source...
[Android Apps and Games] mnjm9b:
what rom are you on?
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
I'm also using the English port by Looki75. It's under the name Security Master instead of LBE and Superuser did prompted to allow its root access. I'm using MIUI ROM on my phone and block internet access using the MIUI Monitor Firewall app. I use Shark to capture net traffic. Security Master (aka LBE) does not seem to have any net traffic... This app is no exception, any app with root access is potentially dangerous. Any app with root access can do anything with the system. It's up to you to use your judgement to use or not to use.
[Android Apps and Games] mnjm9b:
Well there must be something wrong with my setup then...

I am also on cm7 and I have used both of the hacked English versions as well as the Chinese version and all of them seem to work just fine without ever being granted SU.

I guess its time to do a full-wipe...
[Android Apps and Games] flyermat:
Same for me too :)

I noticed that you have to do this task for having the rule applied :

1. Choose an app and block the network access

2. Kill Security Master (previously LBE)

3. Launch again LBE

After the rule is applied for me ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MrPib:
Interesting! Shouldn't a reboot accomplish the same thing?

I'd try it myself, but I'm concerned about some of the stuff I've read here, and I'd like an official English version.
[Android Apps and Games] SHADOW-XIII:
I believe LBE is installing service and that service (files) are left inside of your phone when uninstalling LBE unless you first enter LBE and choose to stop (or uninstall) the service itself, I do not think that general android app uninstallation process supports removal or 3rd files (like sdcard files or in that case in-phone files)
[Android Apps and Games] n0j0e:
Can confirm this workaround!

Waiting now for next version of LBE.
[Android Apps and Games] n0j0e:
A new Chinese version is out: v2.0.1321

http://www.lbesec.com/
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
Here I am, back with the updated English translation of LBE Safety Master 2.0.1321.

Issues/glitches seem to be exactly the same than with the previous version 2.0.1298EN.

Please report back.

... and ENJOY!
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
Absolutely brilliant!

Fantastic interface and easy to navigate!

Darn stable too!

Can say goodbye to my droidwall :)
[Android Apps and Games] DIMENSIONAL:
First of all, great job with the app! I've been scouring the App Market every now and then, and I haven't been able to find anything like this with this much versatility and ease of use, especially for free. And it's bringing me quite a bit of satisfaction to deny Google's Maps's attempts to access my location info when it's not even supposed to be running. :D

Anyways, I've been lurking on the forums for a while, but I'm still a bit of a noob about androids, so sorry if I'm asking anything obvious, but I was curious; Is it possible to restrict the permissions of system apps?
[Android Apps and Games] stuw76:
First i'm bit of a n00b posting on Android but just wondering how genuine this app really is, doesn't seem to be much doco on it, domain a couple of days old and it has low level axx to the phone.

May be totally wrong and I apologise if I am but just not sure if I should be installing this yet, think its a top idea though and if it turns out to be legit I will be installing and donating.

Flame away :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
I have not yet, and I blocked almost all. 24+ hours use

Yes, system apps are included in their own section within the app

It is definitely legit! I have been using for 24+ hours now. It is a new app but its stable for me and does what it says. Give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] traumatism:
sorry for late response

my phone is a desire Z running cyanogen rom 7.0.0
[Android Apps and Games] vault1965:
Thanks man. I have tried similar app and almost all apps after denying permissions would not run... I will definitely give this a try.

[Android Apps and Games] kkarnaout:
great app but i searched all of it to remove the icon from the notification couldn't find where if u can help thanks or give an update with removing icon from notification
[Android Apps and Games] illus4:
Looks grear.

However, is it possible to hide the icon in the notification bar?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Very nice idea. Will try it now, looks very promising.
[Android Apps and Games] Caelte:
For what do you need internet access?
[Android Apps and Games] k3vink3vin:
Does it still matter if you are going to give it root permission anyway?
[Android Apps and Games] :
There is an option in the settings where you can allow to send error logs to the developer..it's checked by default.

If you don't trust this app, set itself to the watching list and reject internet access...lol.
[Android Apps and Games] Caelte:
Not really
[Android Apps and Games] nowise:
Been waiting for something like this for a long time. Thank you. Works fine so far on stock Moto Atrix.
[Android Apps and Games] tomj777:
Wow - I am so pleased that someone has written this.

One question : when an application is updated, unless trusted, do we need to reconfigure ?

(I think it should be an option to choose the default check / don't check response)
[Android Apps and Games] AD10:
Immediate impact..

Hello Lamian,

This is a laudable project and initiative.

However, after I installed my pop/imap mail client reported connection error getting mails.

Tech Details

Handset - Samsung Galaxy S2 (Rooted Stock ROM)

OS - Android 2.3.3

Firmware - XWKE7

Hopefully this will help you make this solution perfect.

Cheers,

AD10
[Android Apps and Games] scutworker:
Great app! And I second the post above. The icon looks like that of Vodafone!
[Android Apps and Games] domenukk:
Will try now.

If it works as adviced, this is THE main reason to root your phone.

Major thanks! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] autoprime:
i cant seem to remove LBE itself from the trusted apps lists. app seems awesome.. but again.. weve all been pretty trusting of this ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MightySashiman:
Brilliant !

As some apps may crash if they get rejected, would it be possible to SPOOF access rather than plain REJECT it ? For example, some kind of sandboxed contact list (with fake contacts / empty contact list), fake SMS engine which doesn't actually send anything, fake location, fake phone/SIM/IMEI/MAC/IP IDs...

And use the android firewall (with droidwall) to block LBE access to internet.
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
Good work Looki.
[Android Apps and Games] flyermat:
Thank you so much Looki75 for your work ;)
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
I am still running the v1 LBE Privacy. Do I need to uninstall before trying this one?

Attempting to install this version said it will replace an existing app and when I confirmed it simply said "not installed"

Did I miss some step? :(
[Android Apps and Games] BlackPit666:
yes you need to uninstall first ;)
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Thanks! I should have known better..
[Android Apps and Games] Fujyoshi:
Thanks you so much !
[Android Apps and Games] n0j0e:

[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
anyone else getting the app force closing when changing the dpi of the display? i'm using lcddensity to do this and LBE starts ok sometimes, but not others.

was fine before upping the virtual dpi of my sgs2
[Android Apps and Games] jackleung:
v2 of this app simple rocks! the built-in firewall with traffic monitor is much powerful and easy to use than droidwall
[Android Apps and Games] liamwli:
It says it can't start service. I've rebooted.

Lg gt540 running swiftDroid 2 RC 5 oc 852 mhz
[Android Apps and Games] Izzysoft:
Try the following steps:

uninstall

reboot

install, but DO NOT START YET!

reboot

now start it

That's how it worked for me when I first installed it.
[Android Apps and Games] anilrawal:
LBE 2.0.1321 still does not work with CM7

The version 2.0 still does not work on CM7 based ROMS, I have tried 3 different version of CM7 ROMS and the result is same, though it is better at least service starts. Application blocking feature still does not work. The same works fine without any issues on non cm7 based roms.

Any one else has same experience.
[Android Apps and Games] :
works for me
[Android Apps and Games] DonHuan:
I have a FC when open Internet Monitoring -> Internet Access :(
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Me too :(((
[Android Apps and Games] chipwreck1:
Happens here also :(

Nice to see what the final app will look like, but currently too beta to really use.
[Android Apps and Games] DonHuan:
The developer said there will be an update till the end of this month!
[Android Apps and Games] BlackPit666:
an english update at the market?
[Android Apps and Games] n0j0e:
“It's ready when it's done” :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
I might have to agree. When an app is responsible for such an integral part of the entire OS flow, it's not comforting to have instability.
[Android Apps and Games] mnjm9b:
The instability is due to it being hacked by a user to get it in English...

The Chinese version doesn't have these flaws.

I sure hope nobody is contacting the developer to complain about this hacked version not working correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] MrPib:
Unfortunately, this is a one-of-a-kind app, AFAIK. CM7, for example, will block resources, but I know of no other app that will spoof MEID, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] DonHuan:
Yes. Ths's what he said. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] mattchew86:
2.0.1321 works great on CM 7.1.1. No problems. Good to have it back :D
[Android Apps and Games] :
Here comes a new version v2.1.1343 (from lbesec.com) - just notifying.

Besides, I'll wait for official english version... with all respect from the translation done from... I don't recall the nick and too lazy to search it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] BlackPit666:
update log, translated via google translator :)
[Android Apps and Games] E-P-S:
VERY nice app. I love it.

But now i have to installed "permission denied" cause i can do deeper restrictions.

Perhaps you can do it in lbe, too?

(Rights i wanto to disable for a special app: ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, BILLING, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, CHECK_LICENSE, INTERNET)
[Android Apps and Games] Miks0n:
Great aplication it is just what I need. But I have one question, what is prompt ? When it say accept, promt or reject?
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
When you select remember and prompt it will ask you everytime this same question
[Android Apps and Games] huytrang90:
sorry, but where can I get download of this version in English?
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
The developers of LBE have told us to expect an updated English version at the end of this month. It shouldn't be that difficult as one of our XDA members, have already modified some of the latest releases to have English Translation. His name is Looki75 and it's in this thread a few pages back or more. Just search for his downloadable version. Looki75's translation is said to work but also may have minor bugs...which I doubt are directly due to his translations. He has communicated with the LBE Dev's and they seem to appreciate what he has done during this transitional period as the APP gets a makeover or two.
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
lbe is better than "permission denied" in that lbe listens to the app's api calls and fakes the api response to the app like "not available" etc... this way the app would gracefully handle the "not available" response and would not fc for the most part, unless ill written apps do not handle exceptions properly. Permission Denied on the other hand removes the permissions from the app, and this cause apps to fc more often due to the way Android handles api calls without the permission declared in the manifest.. I used Permissions Denied when lbe broke on 2.3.5+ and within a few minutes, I uninstalled it immediately.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

This new version also works great on Ice Cream Sandwich. I used it on the ICS port for the Nexus S by HAKA.
[Android Apps and Games] -Tiz-:
@niteh@wk Do you understand Chinese or is it possible to use the latest version, which can be downloaded from lbsec website, without being proficient in Chinese?

I hope that the app will ultimately follow the same direction as WhisperCore (ie interactive firewall, fulldisk encryption).
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
I wish I could understand Chinese, wouldn't be a bad thing to know now and for the future lol.. I'm using the translated apk from Looki. Working great so far, Looki did an awesome job for us English-speaking community. I was pulling my hair out when it didn't work on Android 2.3.5+, was about to bust out my rusty dev skills and write one :p
[Android Apps and Games] Redflea:
I missed this app so much, very happy to have the interim translation, really happy to hear an official translated version is coming!
[Android Apps and Games] mnjm9b:
I think the newer version is far too bloated...

I would much prefer it to stick to just managing permissions.

There are many other programs out there that do those other features already. And better at it too.

While sometimes it is nice to have an "all in one" solution...I don't feel it works here.

What I would like to know is what was changed in the cm7 kernel that caused this to break. And either fix this version to work with it or compile my own kernel to make this work again.

I don't think I will use the new version.
[Android Apps and Games] :
"What I would like to know is what was changed in the cm7 kernel that caused this to break. And either fix this version to work with it or compile my own kernel to make this work again."

This would be so awesome :D
[Android Apps and Games] :
i could be wrong but i don't think it's kernel related...i was using siyah kernel with CM7.1 nightlies, and I couldn't use the old v1.x...yet I'm back on rarity 3.8 (samsung 2.3.5 KI4 based) with same kernel and that same version works (1.x)...my guess is it might be something with 2.3.7 based roms....

[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Awesome!! Thanks Optimal!

Are the Chinese texts under the shield in the splash screen not translateable? It's image instead of texts?
[Android Apps and Games] OptimalKiller:
Sorry mate its a image. I did not bother to translate that.
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
When I'm back on my computer, I can send you the translated image if you are interested...
[Android Apps and Games] OptimalKiller:
That would be great, Also going to try to abbreviate some of the uk translations, Since some of the wording is so long, it seems to cause some of the buttons to go off centre.

Will update hopefully today or tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
Here we go!
[Android Apps and Games] mnjm9b:
Just a thought....

Maybe you could have the splash image include that this is a hack...

That is...unless you are actually building this from source.
[Android Apps and Games] DonHuan:
So, here it is!

It's the latest official English version! Enjoy! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] BlackPit666:
better download from original site ;) http://www.lbesec.com/lite/en/

so is the translated version oder the alpha version better?
[Android Apps and Games] Miks0n:
I am confused...which one to download?
[Android Apps and Games] BlackPit666:
the version from donhuan is the same like in my link, its the OFFICIAL latest version...

the other version ist the xda-translated version from the latest OFFICIAL CHINESE version

EDIT:

the new version is pretty nice :)

i will keep it ...

fun fact:
[Android Apps and Games] OptimalKiller:
Looks like they have removed some stuff aswell. Not so much bloatware. :)

@Looki75

thanks for the image not to sure if I need it now, unless people still want to use the other version.

Then I will post.
[Android Apps and Games] Looki75:
You're welcome!

I'm so happy they released an official version!

And even more happy that this one is simplified (they removed many things that we don't need and that other apps do better!)
[Android Apps and Games] DonHuan:
Today the new version will be on Market.
[Android Apps and Games] flyermat:
Good news about the official English version.

I think developers will release a full version of LBE later in English (with the same functionality as the Chinese version)

Personally, i prefer the lite version, as some of you : focused on permissions ;)
[Android Apps and Games] VerizonKoolaid:
LBE Security Master for American android users is awesome

when the full version becomes available please provide payment methods OTHER than market for those unable to use gmail.

I am a fan of ALL the options/features!!

more power is more better

---------- Post added 1st November 2011 at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was 31st October 2011 at 11:58 PM ----------

I much prefer the ability for FAKING data to permissions I do not condone rather than deny/break. The latter can be detected whereas the former returns RIGHTFUL control to the user.

I have been using the Chinese version on cm4dx-gb. I was able to intuit almost every feature based on use of prior official English version. Are either of the English XDA hacked versions of LBE Security Master are configuration compatible with the official Chinese new versions?

Nothing about the not-lite version is bloatware!!! This is an inappropriate pejorative. Instead write "it has more features than I want"

:mad:

+1

there was a code submission, rejected by a majority of CM7 devs, that would provide facility for faking data and spoofing UUIDs.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,5677

Users

ought choose which information to share or not at all. This is much the same as filling in "something" in a registration form that really only needs username/password/one-time-email.

Here at XDA seems like the place to push buttons to bring this feature into CM7

Are there any unknown or blank entries in superuser allow logs?

not necessarily true ;)

Can your English version be installed to configure all settings, then uninstall, install chinese version to retain settings?

Also why is your translation 2.0 instead of 2.1 of the chinese versions?
[Android Apps and Games] Izzysoft:
Would you mind to explain your statement a bit closer?

In this order? Probably not, as the settings would be gone together with the app on de-installation. The only chance would be using the english version as an update -- if it is accepted as such (and not handled as a different app).
[Android Apps and Games] ukanth:
Market version is up

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lbe.security.lite
[Android Apps and Games] BlackPit666:
ty for info.... works just great :)
[Android Apps and Games] p107r0:
my experience is that it is possible to switch versions using uninstall then install, and later restore settings with Titanium Backup (restore data only), as long as you stick to different versions of the same app,

unfortunately this trick does not work for switching between LBE Lite and LBE Master
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Titanium sees the old and the new LBE as different apps. The APKs have different names. You can't restore the settings from one version into the other.
[Android Apps and Games] BlackPit666:
not totally right...

LBE v1 is one app for itself

LBE MASTER ist one app for itself, but you can save and restore between the chinese and english version

LBE LITE is one app for itself, but you can save and restore between homepage and market version, cause its seems to be totally the same
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
LBE 1 is the old app, so all the other versions (i.e. all the new versions) are seen as different by Titanium.
