[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] AnarchoXen:
So far so good after the update. Only tested walking around but lock was good over multiple applications sharing the same GPS. No real issues but the test will be this weekend when I'm out riding.

Oh, I am unlocked, rooted running OEM ROM. I am using the 6.14.4 version of Maps. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Brava27:
I can confirm that JSS15Q has been working perfectly GPS wise...

Sent from my Motorola Star Tac
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Flippy125:
I'll be closing this thread once I confirm myself that the GPS issue has been fixed. Should be enough time for others with the problem to see this thread pop up and confirm that it fixes it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Khimik:
I've tested my today during 4 hours on the bike, 1 hour in the mall and all the night at home with Runtastic and GPS test. GPS seems to be fixed. No signal lost or other issues. However, I had to return it to the seller due to the multitouch problems.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] integra78:
Mine wouldn't even find any satellites at all out of the box. Just got it a few days ago and was close to returning it back. Got tired of waiting for the update to show up so I manually loaded the JSS15Q factory image and as soon as I was up and running I unchecked Wi-Fi & Mobile Network Location setting in Location Access and Google Maps found my location in about 15 seconds. I installed the GPS Status and GPS Test apps and I was locked on to 11 satellites. Everything seems to be fine now and I'm happy. Didn't want to send it back as it's out of stock at the moment for the 32GB version at Newegg :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] berardi:
Sounds like this is fixing it for everyone.... Great news!

So can you run this update then root / flash whatever romantic you want or do We have to wait for it to be built into roms?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] edouble312:
still broken

flashed JSS15Q to complete stock unrooted.

gps still doesn't lock whatsoever, using any app or gps status.

really frustrating. outside of my return window too so I can't exchange.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Brava27:
You have to give it some time. It will lock.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] edouble312:
doing another factory reset seems to have done the trick. it's working for now. i'll test some more though and see if it keeps functioning

edit: it works but still seems to take between 30 and 60 seconds to lock. other devices I have lock within seconds. still pretty subpar performance but at least it works somewhat.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Are your "other" devices tablets in the same location?

If they are phones, they get additional mobile assistance on the GPS locks via qualcomm gps assist technology from the towers, so they can get GPS locations with even fewer than 4 satellites in view.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] edouble312:
wifi IPads work immediately, phones work immediately. This tablet just doesn't work right. I set it down since my last post, picked it up and it once again wouldn't lock at all, so my success was only temporary.

Its a pretty decent device otherwise but I'd return if I could. Still gets occasional deadlock and the GPS is faulty. The oil from the nexus logo spread all over the back and looks terrible with no way to remove it. Multi touch works or else I'd have practically every issue that people have reported.
[Xposed Framework Modules] danlivesey:
Nice work, I've been looking for this for ages. I always use xposed for other stuff. I've just installed peer blocker and it's force closing and I can't get into the app. I'm on 4.2.2 Xperia z custom stock Rom as I can unlock my bootloader.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
Can you take a look at your internal/external sdcard and see if a file exists called "PeerBlock.dbx"

I've only tested my app at the Galaxy S4 since that's the only device I own

Also try to start it a bunch of times and see if that helps

Also don't forget to enable PeerBlock in the XPosed Installer and reboot
[Xposed Framework Modules] danlivesey:
Yes sorry my mistake, I didn't add the folder. The app is running now. Just need to add some lists now. How do we know if it's blocking the list? On the pc peer block it shows a list of what's being blocked. Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
Currently in the app it only shows the last host that's being blocked

Will add soon something like a history list so u can see everything that been blocked

Edit: Uploaded version 1.01 which includes bug fix for not creating the PeerBlockLists directory
[Xposed Framework Modules] jwthompson:
Parse error on Verizon Samsung S3 4.1.2 VRBMF1 Jelly"Beans" rom
[Xposed Framework Modules] lopezk38:
The app appears to run on a Nexus 4, but I can't get the website to download the blocklists on my computer or my phone so I can't really test it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
I uploaded a list for you as attachment in the thread, havefun testing :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] danlivesey:
I've installed the list now rebuilt and rebooted, will test it better when I get home form work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Looki75:
Is it in your plans to make it compatible with JB 4.1.2?

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] badkill:
+1

:D

I hope also that compatibility with 4.1.2
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
No worries folks will look into it in like 1-2 hours :)

Was gonna work at the app the whole night anyway

Please report all the bugs u can find

Please add me in skype, dragoncodehunter@gmail.com so u can get versions quicker
[Xposed Framework Modules] danlivesey:
I get the odd force close now again but no big deal. Paranoid mode won't work for me, all my apps still have internet. Just hope it is blocking the lists, it does say it's blocking over 70 000. keep up the good work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Looki75:
Thanks! The thing with JB 4.1.2, is that your module cannot be installed at all.

When trying to install, it says "error while analyzing the package" or similar...

I don't know ANYTHING to java or programming on Android, so I don't know for sure, but it looks like you declared the app as compatible only with 4.2.2, or it uses libraries exclusive to 4.2.2 or something like that...

Since my ROM is unrooted (company policy), I cannot use any of "ad blocking" apps like adaway which require root in order to write the hosts file...

But my ROM has Xposed cooked in it... so I am very excited by your module!!!! :D:D:D

Thanks! Waiting for it!!! ;):D
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
XPosed installed and no root ? haha :D

I think I'm having the 4.1.2 working... well atleast it's working for my emulating android

Just wanna finish some progress window for creating cache and then I think I'll pm it to you for test ;)

PeerBlock has also been tested at the Galaxy S3 and worked
[Xposed Framework Modules] Looki75:
Yeah... I know... I just comply with the policy. Word for word. No root is no root... ;)

I don't have root, I comply... ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] lopezk38:
Thanks, it works perfectly on my Nexus 4 running 4.3
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
Sended you a PM with version 1.02, hopefully this works for Android 4.1.2

When I'll get a response that it is working I'll share it with others
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
Version 1.02 is up, Havefun 4.1.2 users ;)

For people who already have 1.01 installed, please go to the sdcard and remove PeerBlock.dbx

U might will see strange chinese characters orsomething if u used it from version 1.0 or 1.01

Need to find a better way to store information, can't use SQL. SharedPerferences appearently those don't work for some reason in XPosed or I'm just using it wrong lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] badkill:
Thanks friend, I can finally test your module

I'm using adblock, I have to uninstall this app
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thalinor:
I find it pretty interesting that back in August you said you removed Yolo and yet now in January for months it's been connecting to this mysterious Yolo host of yours through Google services, and doing it hundreds of times a day.

Top of the list screenshot, bottom of the list screenshot, total screenshot. Look at the times!!! 13:55 at the top, 18:55 at the bottom. It shows 2313 "Allows" for Google Services to this mysterious "Yolo" test that he said was removed back in August. No freekin wonder Google Play Services has been draining my battery at 50% every 8 hours. This "Yolo" host is also under my email, contacts, google market, amazon, everything! Thousands of times in a matter of hours. I thought the god damn NSA and Corporate america was bad... christ. We really need to start a vetting process here because I no longer trust ANYONE.

FYI This is with the latest Google Market version of PeerBlock, downloaded directly from Google Play.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thalinor:
Every app is sending out data to this "Test" Yolo server!

Email

Amazon

Google Market ("Google Play")

Browser

Google Talk

etc..

Everything, and at an alarming rate per hour.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aegreen:
Yikes. Can anyone else confirm what Thalinor found? It looks like DragonHunt3r has chosen not to respond...

If there is something fishy going on then I am assuming this app is violating a policy somewhere and should be removed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sovereignty2:
Has anyone ever figured out the fix for the .dbx file not being created? Which directory is it supposed to be in? I wanted to try manually creating it. I am having the same problem as others where the blocklist files show up in the app and the refresh seems to work but after reboot nothing gets blocked that are in the list files. The only thing that is blocked is the 'ad' keywords when that box is checked. I'm guessing the missing file is the problem?

Alos, any word on open source? I'd sure like to help with development. This has been a much needed app for a LONG time. Ive used its cousin for years.

Cheers!
[Xposed Framework Modules] xstormli:
great app, just craving for a whitelist, hehehe

some off my apps are functioning weird with our app running……

once again, thanks for the great app!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] xstormli:
hey chief, how's our project going? just checking ~~~
[Xposed Framework Modules] mister-crackers:
cool concept...a little buggy but i'm sure it will improve with time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mnjm9b:
there has been no activity on this for a very long time...

the last post from dev was back in October and he was posting the source that I requested.

the link to the source went dead shortly after and I did not get a chance to copy it.

so for now this is dead.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mister-crackers:
yeah I had the same feeling. you never know, he could have been pressured to back off. or just too busy with personal life. but it would be good to get more devs involved
[Xposed Framework Modules] mnjm9b:
I was planning on it but then he (or someone) pulled the source...

I may start from scratch but I don't know if I have what it takes to go it alone...

I will of course start a new thread and post a link here if I decide to do this.
[Xposed Framework Modules] MWO137:
yea the app seems really buggy, it worked for a while on my Samsung Galaxy Mega when it was open after initial setup, it definitely needs work.

if I check the Block DNS box, rebuild the cache, and reboot it is unchecked again. App crashes constantly. It says I'm blocking almost 3 billion IPs but the only box that stays checked is the Block 'Ad' Keyword in the Host name and now I'm getting a Connections blocked:Invalid int: "" error

Not impressed
[Xposed Framework Modules] ren0.1:
I would love to see a replacement, esp. if it's available via the Xposed repo. Best way to find it.

The original has huge performance problems when loading bt_ads.txt for the first time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wtfguy:
Never ever i would install a closed source XPosed module ...
[Xposed Framework Modules] openforce:
I downloaded the source code in the past, here it is, hopefully someone continue the work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] gorilla p:
Am I the only person who finds this strange, especially that there's been no response since...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Thalinor:
Back when I posted that info I also contacted a mod who looked into the issue. The reply I got back was they had contacted the dev and got no response as well. I had already removed the app and reformat my devices so contacting a mod was just to alert someone of a possible issue.

To be honest I have no idea why this thread has not been locked and any download links removed. There has already been too much suspect with this module. I love XDA and am not a proponent of ruling forums with an iron fist but if no one can get a hold of the module creator there is no reason (other than an archive of history) it should still be here for people to download. I understand someone may pick up where this dev left off, but at least IMO the trust with the module is gone. I would not install it unless someone here with a very long history of developing for the community picked back up the project. Even then I tend to follow the "burn me once your bad, burn me twice my bad".

If I can just find a hardware manufacturer to pick up the project I am working on this whole conversation will be irrelevant. Trying my best people, but the powers that be have molded a system that prevents any of the little guys from getting anywhere w/o giving THEM the control... And we have all seen how that's turned out so far...

[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
Thanks GermainZ for re-opening this thread, I wanted to tell you people here that I recently open-source'd PeerBlockForAndroid, feel free to use the code (or create pull requests :) )

The source code in github is "new" you could say, the version in github was not released before I think, but please keep in mind that it's atleast a year old and I currently don't really have the time to work on it as I have other projects

You probably have to update it to v78 of XPosed to make it work again aswell for Android M

In this thread there were some "suspicions" that my app was connecting to some server called "yolo", well this was completely not the case and for some reason it became tinfoil hat thing

As I have in my github page: People noticed the "yolo" hostname was logged in apps, this was actually an test and a horrible misstake, I really noticed it when people said it after some time when it was in the playstore and completely forgot to remove it and lost the certificates for the app so I couldn't update it in the playstore

As silly as it sounds it's actually true and kind of forgot to look in this thread as I was busy working at other projects

At any case... it's open source, I personally will probably provide no more updates (no promises atleast), but I am willing to accept any pull requests and merge them to keep you people up-to-date with who-ever updates the project

If there are any questions, feel free to ask them, the thread will stay open I hope

Source code: https://github.com/AnguisCaptor/PeerBlockForAndroid

Have a good one ;)

A small bumb, this section is bombarded with posts
[Xposed Framework Modules] bezdakcz:
Marshmallow

I'd like to warn anyone trying this app/mod on Marshmallow, sorry if it has been written before, haven't found it.

Basically while following the instructions, you get stuck in a bootloop on Marshmallow.

Fortunately I was able to temporarily disable Xposed from recovery and disable the module.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
If you read when this was actually updated at (2 years ago), or reading my post above you could have prevented yourself the hassle :p
[Xposed Framework Modules] critofur:
Hello, do you happen to know if this is still not working on Marshmallow?

Any suggestions on best alternatives?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vino9ja:
Please does anybody know of already made list like on page one that can be used to block pornography. Its really needed here
[Xposed Framework Modules] Notmyusualid:
I so want this...

Guys,

We need someone to pick up the baton here and run with it!

I've been waiting like a kid for Christmas morning for a PeerBlock on Android! Have you ANY idea how much mobile data you could save running this?

I DO.

I've been running it on my PC for YEARS. So many Ad-servers blocked, spam-severs unable to connect, and from time to time, Malicious IP addresses & Hijacked IP addresses are dropped too.

Why would anybody not want this on their Android device? Why oh why oh why not?

- Me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
I understand the frustration you have with this, I to be honest could start working on it again as I have seas of time left

The only problem I have had with xposed framework is, how to implement this with stability

So far I've noticed is that android/linux does a rather goodjob to keep the traffic clean

The only thing I can think about that is that you're running windows, well yeah windows does a poor job and will contact thousands of random servers (especially with port 137, lol)

I find it so funny of Microsoft denying the port 137 completely, they will ask constantly "Do you have a virus scanner", "Sir you must have a virus, there is no outbound traffic on port 137 here"

I will need some small time to come up with a stable idea that I can work on so that it will work for most devices

In the current iterations I've had with my app is that, sometimes a app wouldn't have access to the SD card but would have internet access permissions

Well I wouldn't be able to check for the PeerBlockList as it simply does not have access to the files

Should I drop all the traffic when that happens for the app ? no clue

I'm thinking about creating a local server where all the traffic will go through

Not sure if VPN's will like my idea, I know OpenVPN supports this but eh
[Xposed Framework Modules] Notmyusualid:
Hello!

And thanks for seeing the pain I feel!

Yes, I'm using Peerblock on Windows, and I absolutely love it.

I can't guide you with your task, as I'm not a coder -the 'Exposed framework' means nothing to me, sorry, but I am a network engineer (CCNP etc), so if you need any specific help in that regard - I might be of assitance there. PM me.

I'd say keep all the .p2p lists on the main flash as they are so small anyway - and especially do that if you forsee a possibe problem an absent microSD card might create.

I'd say don't bother with the VPN server idea, you will have ISPs jumping down your neck during periods of excessive end-user usage, and the VPN model is well tried & tested already (i.e. far too much competition for a new market entrant). Futhermore, the idea of having the access list locally is the beauty of the Peerblock. Incoming access lists locally on your WAN connection protect you whereever you are - as a frequent traveller, anywhere I go, my lists await any blocked requests made to me, in real time. With the VPN model you'd have to have geographical servers all over the world, or the long-haul network latency would not allow for a responsive end-user experience. In addition, I feel that some VPN providers have some from of existing protection from malicious IP traffice on their side anyway. Not too much, but yes, some.

So if you have the time, I beg you - dive in.

Peace.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
Oh I meant with a VPN more like, what would happen if you'd VPN and peerblock is redirecting it's traffic to localhost in the background to check if ip must be blocked or not

Would the traffic loop forever, I know OpenVPN supports http/socks proxy so I know it works there

Was just saying really, I won't create a VPN service or whatever haha :p

Iptables would have been easier I think for transparent proxy, but atleast with xposed u don't need root, only for initial install

Not quite sure yet what I should do, especially with apps that don't have permission to sdcard etc

Hello, my name is Jacob, I am new to this website... I was just wondering if I can still get this on the Play Store.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Spartan117.:
Holy Thread Resurrection, Batman!

Peer Guardian -> Peer Block is the best traffic cop I've ever had the pleasure of using.

Game changing for Windows.

Is there any, I mean ANY chance there's a way to port this functionality to the latest Android OS?

Running a stock (unlocked) Galaxy S9+ on AT&T with Android 9...

Current ad-blocking approach is to change my "private DNS" setting to dns.adguard.com... but I'm not a fan of routing my traffic in such a way.

Pandora/Youtube ads are slowly destroying my will to live. Any suggestions that don't involve VPN / DNS redirects? (or forking over hard earned cash to these companies through subscriptions)
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
I don't think I'll make an updated version, for one, xposed framework is pretty dead and the latest version is not even supported and you're probably better off simply using an blocklist script or simply use "adaway"

Is this still working for anybody? I tried enabling it on my xt897 and had to uninstall xposed via twrp to get past the boot sequence. Maybe I could do a logcat if this is still maintained?

[Xposed Framework Modules] danlivesey:
I get 2 icons with the new update, what they both for? Should it just one. Nice and quick with the updates
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
Thanks ^^, ye I noticed the samething it's probably because I'm also changing the version number in the manifest but I'm not sure about this yet

Will look into it tomorrow, I'll try tomorrow also to make a small beginning at showing the history of blocked and allowed connections :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
Currently for version 1.03 I highly improved the rebuild caching so it's having more performance now

Btw just a idea, I don't know if I will add this but a colleague of mine came up with this idea,

He had the idea of making a server and so that I will store there the blocklists so you don't need them on your phone and that I can keep updating the lists

The only downsides are really, if your internet is not fast, connections will be made slower and some internet will be used

Oh well it's just a idea, give ur opinion if I should add it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Looki75:
My opinion... I don't think it is a good idea.

It's better to have a local file that we can edit to our need if necessary... gives more control.

This being said, you could create your server and give the OPTION in the module to either go to server or to local file... kind of best of both worlds...
[Xposed Framework Modules] godofgeeks:
Looki is right self service is more helpful ...and it should stay that way :)

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

Mate is there any specific reason as to why I am seeing two icons for this app in my app drawer ...thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
Ye true we'll just drop that idea then, Thinking about using the CSV format btw to use it for history and everything

Once I get the CSV up I'll be working at the history :)

When an ad is blocked, is the placeholder removed? I'm looking for a good replacement of Adaway.
[Xposed Framework Modules] DragonHunt3r:
Only at some websites I've tested they are getting removed but others just give "Website not available"

Will maybe look into it but so far PeerBlock is only for blocking connections that your phone is trying to make

Will add it to the todo's tho

Fixed in 1.03 the double icons btw
[Xposed Framework Modules] DIXES:
What lists if I used, then I can use this app to replace adaway?
