You can always use Windows Firewall to block BS or probably android firewall to block connections. I'm sure in BS cfg or ini file can stop internet easily but I don't have time to look for them. Firewall is the easiest way to block.

Where can one find this "Bluestacks Net Blocker" :o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kimble89:
i got problem with this version.

i installed the new version from bs and root it with your multitool 1.20r1

the root is not the problem but if i want to start an app bs freezes.

anybody has the same problems?

with the old version of bs i don't get any problems.

Introducing BS Net Blocker

Introducing BlueStacks Net Blocker

- Now your can easily block BS from accessing internet without disconnecting from Internet completely.

NOTE:

* Some antivirus might flag it as virus, as the app requires Administrator rights & can change your firewall rules; Try at your own right ;)

* This program only block Android from accessing internet using TCP, frontend traffic likely won't be effected.

Feedback are welcomed!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttouch:
Hello XDA users!

I'm so confused with this thing. I've been trying to do that nearly a month. After a billion google queries and phone reboots (if my N4 could throw up, it would) I got nothing.

First of all, I can't compile the kernel.

Sys info: I'm on Arch Linux 3.12.1-3-ARCH 64 bit.

I have all the three google toolchains (arm-linux-androideabi-4.{6,7,8}) and currently I'm trying with 4.8.

With default config (I stress that) I get this: http://showterm.io/1a41b9af919653f53a890

I use google's repo (https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git) on the android-msm-mako-3.4-kitkat-mr0 branch (I use occam-krt16o build on my N4).

I know this must be noobish problem, but I have no idea what's the problem...

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttouch:
I've got some news! :)

First of all, you need to edit scripts/gcc-wrapper.py to use python2.7 and not 3.

However, 4.8 toolchain spits some errors and I'm not really into casting spells just to compile with 4.8 instead of 4.7. If there is a major difference between them (performance improvements etc.) I'll look into it.

Now it's time to implement the framebuffer changes to the .config

Hi,

"By accident" I noticed a file '/system/priv-app/CMS.apk' (pname:com.cyanogenmod.services) on the latest cm-11 nightly for mako.

I wonder what is it? I can't find an appropriate source code on CMs GitHub. Is this going to be a custom client library like Google Play Services? Why is there no source code on GitHub?

Any information would be appreciated!

Surely it's something to do with CM account for locating devices, or possibly the encrypted messaging backend.

As an aside, I've always noticed TCP connections to Mountain View when running the OS Monitor app and I've been running CM without GAPPs for a long time. Anybody know what they could be for

OT: Android automatically connects to a google server on the url http://[server ip]/generate_204, to determine if a wifi login is needed. This could cause the said behaviour

CMS.apk

Mine case is little different. If that file was ever run there has be an odex file there too but it isn't on my device. I guess this is for CyanogenMod stats for keeping install records and settings for the same can be found in Settings->About. At the very first I turned off statistics so I guess I might be true. :-/

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrkhigh:
If you can definitely not put it into download mode or recovery then I think you need a JTAG. But are you sure you are doing it right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Androidrick:
or maybe its a failed power button
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JESnow89:
Mine did the same thing and it was a sticking power button. What you need to do is open the phone and use some compressed air to clean the power button. Also, while you are doing this, you need to hit the power button repeatedly so that it will dislodge the gunk that is in there making it go through the power cycle.

Hi all,

I cope with a problem which many android users have to deal with. The well known android.process.acore fc or something similar.

The constantly appearing fc notifications would be caused by your crashing contact list. However i cannot find a solution for this anywhere while many users have this problem. It is really annoying when you have to open whatsapp 3 times because the whole system freezes.. :mad:

Isn't there a way to hide those notifications?

I don't remember / not sure whether my microSD card was having encryption enabled or not... but if it was encrypted then all folders should be inaccessible, right? it is not the case here though...

Hey everyone, pretty much first serious post. Hope someone can help me with it.

I have an At&t Galaxy s3, running the latest aokp rom, by task 650, its up to android 4.3

my issue is that i can add files to my phones internal sd card and its external sd card, but once i restart, the files are gone. all my files that i added even as long as a week or two ago are still there, even some things that i delete return once i reboot. i can move files from my internal sd card to the external and they stay after a reboot and vice versa. so i know that things can be added. but for some reason when i transfer music through windows file explorer to either sd card as soon as i reboot those files are gone. when i xfer the files it does say that "your device might not be able to play or view this file."

i can even play the music for a while after copying it as long as i don't restart, eventually it starts to go into hyperdrive so its a second of squiggles then goes to next song.

even if i transfer files through a wifi based app like air droid or just using an app to copying over a shared network the same thing happens.

i don't think that the internal sd card or external are corrupt because i can move files back and forth as long as they were on the device originally.

i don't know if i should reformat my external sd card because i doubt it would fix it then i'd be out of all my music.

really hoping someone can help me,

this was happening before i upgraded to 4.3 having done that only a day or two ago and it has been happening for at least a couple weeks, and it worked on the 4.2 version i had because i took me a couple months to upgrade to 4.3 and in that time i did add files to the internal and external.

last thing to mention, with a torrent phone app when i download files they also dissappear.

hope someone can help me with this, and that it's simple.

i'd rather feel dumb than it be something complicated.

thanks for any and all help yall can give.

update

I did a full clean install of the aokp rom i'm on wiiping everything instead of just the dalvik cache and cache, which normally works fine.

now the internal sd card retains the files i'm adding to it, even after a couple reboots. which is a step up. but the external still won't let me add files to it, even if i copy them over from my internal to the external using astro file manager or es file explorer. on restart files are gone from the external. i don't think that the external sd card is corrupt but i'm copying all the file off of it right now, then plan to reformat. not sure how i'll go about it, but i really hope it works.

this is really frustrating, its a 64gb external micro sd card that has always worked perfectly.

any input at all would be a great help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zerogood:
update 2

my external sd card is the problem then i guess, because i put it in my brothers phone, did reformat, and it says reformating deleting all data. then remounts it.

shows exact same amount of available space and storage, stuck at 42.2gb or whatever, if i go into the sd card manually and delete files as soon as i reboot the phone all the files are back.

is there anyway to fix this?
