[Omni Q&A] Meteoroidz:
So ive been using OmniROM 4.4 on my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300 for over 6-7 months now (since around 22/11/2013). It has all been working as a treat. Two nights ago something seemed to of happened on my phone and few apps disappeared (they had the green android robot logo). I was also notified that some apps have updated. I am unsure what these apps were (my guess would be the googles apps; google books, google movies etc. because they were all next to each other in alphabetical order). So because of this i decided to turn my phone off. When i turned it back on, it would be stuck on the OmniROM Logo whilst booting up. It would be stuck on this for a few hours. So I left it over night. Then the next morning it had booted up and a error message popped up saying "Stystem UID's Inconsistent" with a button saying "I'm Feeling Lucky". So I clicked the button and unlocked the phone. Then the homescreen was black and blank. There was no background image, apps, widgets etc. However, I can access the notification bar. If i had any notifications, for an example a message on kik. I can click on it and it will take me to kik and it can use it as normal. When i click the home button it takes me back to a black blank screen.

So, My first reaction was to create a nandroid backup (of the black blank screen OmniROM) then wipe everything (data/factory, cache partition and dalvik cache) in CWM Recovery v6.0.4.4. After this I restored my old nandroid backup, this is my backup i created before i moved onto OmniROM so it was the Samsung galaxy s3 stock 4.1.2. So once i did this i was again greeted with the error message saying "Stystem UID's Inconsistent" with a button saying "I'm Feeling Lucky". So i clicked the button and set up my device. During this and after this Ive had about a billion pop up error messages saying "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." and "Google books has stopped working" and it did this for all the other google apps. So its pretty clear that it must be something to do with Gapps (Correct me if i'm wrong please). Also, It did not allow me to get anything from the play store apart from twitter and rom manager. snapchat and the google app updates didn't work (that is all i have tried). I had error messages saying that i couldnt download it. I have tried installing gapps and OmniROM again and it works but i still get the error messages saying that gapps and google apps have stopped. I have also restored by nandroid backup of the omnirom (that I did before i wiped everything) and i still get the blank black homescreen.

So, I want to know whether it is gapps that has caused this? If so what do i need to do? Do i need to unistall it and install it again? How do i do that?

All I want is to go back to OmniROM and it works and this problem wont happen again. Also if i can get all my data (apps, pictures etc.) that i saved in my nandroid back that i did when i was on OmniROM (before i wiped everything) then that would be great!

I appreciate it very much if you have read this and helped me out.

Guys I started a thread about this update and was moved to Q&A listing (sry for misplacement)

I have done the upgrade and I can confirm that the root method "iroot25" works with this upgrade, and that autorec recovery installer also works with this upgrade.

So now I have the latest from LG, meanwhile, still having root and custom recovery, just wanted to share.

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] brodacz1979:
Hi.

Does someone can explain to me how to install apps from outside Smsung App Store on Gear 2 Neo? I mean the APK files downloaded from the internet. Is it possible to install the same apps as the phone or there are any restrictions? On the internet I found the only options from the Android ADB and Fastboot.

Thank you.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] BigDanInTX:
The Android app files will not work on this Tizen device. The only applications you can install are the ones from the Gear Store or that you create yourself (like the watch faces).

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugger09:
I got a Moto G yesterday after owning a Nexus 4 and I have noticed a few small issues and wonder if this is common.

Firstly widgets are not auto updating, Tried several weather apps and the widget is not auto updating.

On several occasions I get told no data connection when having full Wifi and 3G

Had a couple of text messages today, all arrived 3-4 hours late.

I never had these issues on the N4, Anyone any ideas?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
I haven't observed such behaviour on my widgets ( although I don't use many). My weather widget updates exactly as expected.

No issues with 3G or Wi-Fi whatsoever, but I've read that some ppl are having issues with 3G, but it's very uncommon.

Never had problems with text messages. Are you sure that your network is not having some issues?

[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
Xposed app firewall.

This app is an firewall for the installed apps. Only apps with permission "android.permission.INTERNET" are

shown. IPv4 and IPv6 are supported together with TCP and UDP. You could configure outgoing and incomming

connections independent from each other.

The rules could be applied for each network: W-Lan, local network, mobile, roaming, unknown.

Logging is configurable for incomming/outgoing and allowed/denied connections.

Colors:

Blue: Template is used.

Yellow: Custom settings.

Green: The app is trusted.

Red: The app is blocked.

Features:

No iptables required, the kernel doesn't need to support it.

The firewall is active when Android starts, no startup data leak.

The rules are always active, no re-apply on connection change is needed.

Limitiation:

Host names in the log file are PTR entries.

Works only for Android (Java), not the native (Linux) part

Donation:

No self-promotion in the app.

You could trust or block an app (Menu/ActionBar)

You could use a template for not configured apps

Additional (experimental) networks: Bluetooth, WiMAX, Ethernet

Tasker support, per App

You support this app and further development!

Permissions:

ACCESS_SUPERUSER: apply iptables rules

This app does not connect itself to any websites or hosts!

Important:

This app needs the Xposed Framework. The framework requires root access for installation. Don't forget to enable the module in Xposed. You can grab it here: Xposed Installer

Website: http://tinyurl.com/l5bpv23

Play Store: http://tinyurl.com/ome2pvc

Xposed Repository: http://tinyurl.com/ksc6plz

Changelog: http://tinyurl.com/n8gsqja

Why this app? No firewall for Xposed exists yet :)

[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
Maybe you head me thinking loud 6 weeks after starting this app: "i will release today, if there are still error, i'll fix them later" :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] an0n981:
Am I correct in assuming this is not open source?
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
I got a question about incoming/outgoing connections, maybe somone else want to know:

Incoming connections are used by less than 1% of all apps. This is used if the app is a "server", like BubbleUPnP. So most time incoming conections could be blocked, i think for mobile network 100%.

An outgoing connection is like a phone call: You call someone (outgoing connection), and can talk (send "data") and hear (receive "data")

Wifi Internet and Network:

If you want to control eg your local tv-receiver, xbmc device or avm router (with FreetzMobil), only connections to the local network are required. This prevents app to send data to the internet.

The "local network" are all "private" IPv4 and IPv6, they will not be forwarded by internet routers. Additionally, if you use "public" IPs they are local if it is in the same subnet as a ip of your device. Uncommon for IPv4 usage, but public IPv6 are the common usage (public IPv6 for every device)

As usual i send source only to people i know
[Xposed Framework Modules] an0n981:
I took this mod for a quick test drive, a little feedback:

-Is it not possible to restrict kernel?

-Could it be that apps that use native libraries to connect to the internet cannot be restricted? Firefox and Mega (both use native libraries) were able to connect even when completely restricted.

Also a little cosmetic issue com.android.process.gapps showed completely green at all times. However restrictions were applied properly
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
Yes, see OP: "Limitiation: ... no native binaries." This is because the design of Xposed

Isn't it "com.google.process.gapps"? Onyl this one app has the wrong colors? Has it a green dot for "trusted app"? What did you configured for it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] an0n981:
Yes I meant com.google....

I set it from template to custom, blocked everything, however in the app overview it still showed as all green. When it was restricted GCM was blocked and the log showed blocked connections to mtalk.google.com:5228. Then I unrestricted outgoing mobile and wifi and GCM was available and the log correctly showed allowed connections but the colors in the app overview didn't change

[Xposed Framework Modules] an0n981:
Sorry the bug is still present

Also 1 more questions. Do you see any problem running this along side AFWall?
[Xposed Framework Modules] an0n981:
The bug affects any app that starts end ends with <>. <android.media> and <org.mozilla.firefox.sharedid> also always revert back to displaying completely green once the app is reloaded
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
No, should work without problems. The one created iptables rules other hooks the connection methods - if one fails, the other does it :)

The "<>" entries are not real apps (.apks) with a package name, they are uids. At app start i load all installed apps with internet-permission and hide apps which are no more installed / have not any longer the permissions -> the uid items are not in the list of installed apps (obviously) :o

Will be fixed in next release

EDIT: Uploaded
[Xposed Framework Modules] jaibar:
This is awesome ?

A few questions:

- is there a way to edit template? I couldn't find it anywhere in settings- am I missing something?

- Can you add multiple selection? For example, someone has lots of apps and wants to block roaming to them etc. etc. without having to change it manually for each app.

- filtering or sorting apps? perhaps something simple like the way afwall , or a more thorough filter like XPrivacy has?
[Xposed Framework Modules] an0n981:
Confirmed fixed
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
The template is used for all "blue" apps, which where are not configured by user. Modifying template is part of the donator options (see OP).

Btw, next planned feature: detection of VPN connections
[Xposed Framework Modules] mermaidkiller:
Nice feature !

I dry tested this app (i.e. not checked in the Xposed module on my device) and already saw that the VPN was missing. Now I use AFWall+ which is good and has more profiles. I block all Google apps with it with a 'limited internet' profile and every time I download something from Play, I load another profile which allows 'Google Play services' and 'Google Play store' internet connection and after download/update I revert to 'Limited internet'.

On my Mac I have 'Little Snitch' firewall which has the ability to let it prompt for certain apps which I don't want to be connected permanently (such as the Mac App Store), but only when I do e.g. an OSX update. In that case I let it prompt and say 'only this time'.

A similar approach on LightingWall should be very welcome. E.g. a notification that the Play store wants to connect with internet and when one wants to download / update an app, say 'only this time' and not permanently.
[Xposed Framework Modules] banderos101:
Xprivacy implements a similar thing, allowing the user to be informed when one of the restrictions are asking for access of that permission, including internet permissions(no distiction between lan or vpn), i would also welcome an on demand prompt feature for this app, its one faeture i wished afwall had, but believe it cant because of the nature of iptables i believe,

Saying that im also kinda worried that this might conflict, two apps essentially fighting for control to "pause" the system, hope im wrong, maybe if the two devs of the two respective apps co-orporated in implementation,it might be resolved, if there is an issue, i dont know........... but im getting ahead of myself here, defim has not even stated that he'll implement this, still, no harm in discussing possibilities, slim or not
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
[MENTION=3385762]banderos101[/MENTION] [MENTION=4188720]mermaidkiller[/MENTION]If you want to be informed if an app is allowed or denied to access some hosts, you could get it with Tasker. Just with a simple message box or more enhanced things Tasker can do. It should not be a problem using this app wiht Xprivacy, AFwal etc. If you block a connection with one app, it could be that the others can't see/log it. This depends on the order of the apps, An iptables firewall should be the last the connection is passing.

A per host filter is not planned, if you want to stop connection to some (tracking, malwar, adware) hosts a hosts file filter could be used, like my UnbelovedHosts
[Xposed Framework Modules] hackel:
Too big a risk to take for security software like this. Post your work up on Github under a reasonable license.

I'm not seeing a big advantage over the GPL AFWall+ anyway.
[Xposed Framework Modules] optimumpro:
I don't install roms from unknown developers, I compile roms from sources, which I examine myself or rely on others who examine sources. And I am not forcing anyone to open their sources, I just don't use their apps, period. What I also found is that those who refuse to open sources tend to become argumentative and attack the messenger often, which is the case here: I simple noted that lightning wall does not work with a web browser and asked why the app requires phone's serial number as well as other stuff. The dev told me I am talking about things I don't understand. Lol. I am a developer too. Then I noticed this was closed source. I deleted the app, reformatted and restored my phone. That's all...
[Xposed Framework Modules] remydlc:
I get it... You wanted to examine it, and being a security conscious person as i can see you are, you worry about this stuff. My apologies.

Not sure if the android permissions should be enough to declare this app safe to use. I totally understand both sides. You are worried your info might get stolen and he is worried his work gets cloned and sold for cheaper/free.

There is a changelog in Play Store & Xposed Repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.defim.apk.lightningwall

LW works without iptables, but has also optional support for it. This is because apps using nativ (eg with NDK) access
[Xposed Framework Modules] w0rinal:
Yeah, I read the changelog. That's why I'm asking :D

It says superuser permission were removed since it's no longer supported. What exactly is not supported anymore? LW by SuperSU or the other way round?

The main point is: does LW still block connections via native accesses after the last update?

[Xposed Framework Modules] user2k10:
Can this be used in conjunction with AfWall+ as an extra defence? Would I use it in the non iptables mode so that the AfWall+ iptables rules do not get messed up?

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] F308:
Looks like safe action. You can always back off. I give a try in such cases.
[Xposed Framework Modules] w0rinal:
Notice you need to configure the connection for an app in both LW and AF+

If an app only used native accesses LW doesn't block it (if you don't use iptables) so AF+ does, but when an app accesses intent the usual way, both apps block it for this app.

Sent from my Boeffla powered Slim GT-I9300
[Xposed Framework Modules] defim:
The app still uses root, but the permission "android.permission.ACCESS_SUPERUSER" does no longer exists (in manifest). It was removed from SuperSU, see https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/Ka3ujLb4bJu ("Goodbye ACCESS_SUPERUSER permission?")

You dont need LW+iptables enabled and another iptables app. If you are using additional another, just disabled (is default) iptables in LW. But anyway, it should not harm to have both enabled. You could check which rules are active by command line / terminal / adb with commands like "iptables -vnL" and defined tables "for t in $(cat /proc/net/ip_tables_names 2>/dev/null); do echo TAB $t; iptables -vnL -t $t; done"

[Xposed Framework Modules] abs0lut3z33r0:
Does AFwall fail anywhere where this kicks in ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Looki75:
I like Afwall or similar Firewall apps, and they all have interesting features.

But lightningwall is better at least for one thing: it stores the rules based on packages names. This means that if you reinstall ROM and apps (manually or TiB) your settings STAY.

On the contrary, with other Firewalls, the rules are based on UID and if you have to reinstall your ROM/apps you have to restart rules and settings from scratch.

Lightningwall has other good things but for me (having 300+ apps) the feature I just described is a must.
[Xposed Framework Modules] w0rinal:
Plus lightningwall is already being activated while booting and not after boot has finished thus preventing apps from sending data before AF+ has started

And the kernel doesn't need to support iptables
