***** STATUS UPDATE *****

I just wanted to provide a quick status update on some items to include The SELinux Switch App and the Play Protect Disabler.

With a handful of items on my plate for my released and unreleased developments and had been doing some cleaning up and releasing developments one by one.

1) I had recently released a big update for the XDA Classic Forum App (with another on the horizon) that has been running much better. More on that thread.

2) I had decided to release a flashable installer with the 7-Zip Plug-in for the ES File Explorer (File Manager) App. I decided to do this after noticing a handful of members with issues in obtaining this free Plug-in that's (puzzling as it seems) only obtainable within the app itself.

3) I've still been working on, as well as making headway, on the Play Protect Disabler. I'll keep you posted when it's ready for closed beta testing.

4) I've been bouncing on and off a unique development called TheTVDB Connection App that's almost ready to be released but, I've got one more hurdle to overcome first.

5) I've been updating my conversion files for automating the creation for Odin Flashable files. Basically I've been using it for creating .tar.md5 Modem Updates.

6) FINALLY The SELinux Switch App... I've noticed and addressed a few small items regarding some compatibility improvements as well as app optimization that I've recently finished updating and am actually about to test it out on 2 of my devices. If all goes well, then I should be able to release it sometime later today or tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed! :)

Thank you all for your time, patience and understanding with this and, as always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

***** HEAR YE! HEAR YE! *****

I finally finished an update to the App! :D

Just a few points to make for this update...

The top notification should now be in color (reflecting the Icon itself). Though minor, it was bugging me a bit and finally got to address it.

I had FINALLY noticed that the app was preferring the installation on the External for the main application files to be installed. I changed this preference to Internal to improve its performance and, i believe, it will run much quicker upon reboot. I can't believe that I had missed this one.

I believe that though, updating the app is fine but, if you want the internal preferred installation, then you may have to uninstall then reboot and reinstall the app for this. I DEEPLY apologize for any inconveniences this may cause.

I was also receiving an error when I had tried to update the app in the Labs Store so I'm going to check into this. It will eventually be updated there accordingly.

Please see the Changelog on the 2nd post of the thread for additional information.

Thank you all very much for your time, patience and support and, as always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

For me 6.0.5 is corrupted.

I downloaded it directly from xda and androidfilehost.com but I am not able to install the apk, even after uninstalling 6.0.3..

6.0.5 could not be installed (showed Apk could not be installed) via root explorer on my pixel (sailfish) on rooted stock 8.1. I uninstalled 6.0.3 and rebooted prior to trying to install 6.0.5.

Reinstalled 6.0.3 and all is good with functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Wow... You both took me off guard a bit... :eek:

I do apologize for that. I'm thinking (and hoping) that it may have just been a bad upload. I'll remove them and do the upload again and then I'll post when I'm done.

As far as the flashable installer goes, I'm going to leave it up and, hopefully, a member who uses that method can confirm if it went well.

*** EDIT: I believe that I had figured out what went wrong. I don't know how or why but, I'm working on it...

Thank you for your patience! :thumbup:

No apologies needed. Your work on your app and support for it is appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Okay...

I've tried something a bit different and I uploaded a new App on the thread (in the download tab) and the same on the File Host Account too.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :rolleyes:

Regarding the Labs Store... I'm not the only one who's recently experiencing issues with upload errors. I've already posted the issue on the Labs thread and am hoping that it's a temporary issue being worked on.

Please let me know how the one I uploaded does. I've got a backup app to try in case it doesn't work out.

Thank you very much for your patience... :D

I tried the APK installer from Android file host, and it would not install. I did uninstall the old one first and rebooted before trying it.

I also tried the flashable zip from Android file host and it appeared to flash normally, but was not installed upon reboot. I did try to wipe Dalvik and cache, but TWRP says it couldn't wipe cache cuz it was unable to find the file path /cache. I realize that's a TWRP issue and not an issue with your app, I just thought it was probably relevant since I was unable to wipe cache.
[Android Apps and Games] phaino00:
Same result as [MENTION=1434592]sharkie405[/MENTION] with AFH Version (the app with uploaded time stamp of 12:58 Dec 15).

The other version (XDA link) was not available.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
To begin with... I forgot to remove the 6.0.4 & 6.0.5 Flashable installers from the AFH... Thanks for bringing this to my attention. An updated one will be created upon confirming a new working apk version.

I noticed that when I was removing those versions from the downloads tab of the thread I had accidentally deleted the newer 6.0.5 from there as well. My apologies for not paying attention.

I uploaded in the threads downloads tab and on the AFH another one but, this time I updated the version to 6.0.6 to elevate any confusion.

I had made a minor change to the installation location from Internal Only to Auto for the various different devices that may not be liking this specified predetermined location. This minor change may make the difference.

I'm hoping that this will do the trick but, my fingers are still crossed. :rolleyes:

Please let me know how this works out.

Installed perfectly and all is working on my end. I can't reiterate enough, your support is unparalleled.

BTW, downloaded from the primary xda link.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
All is well in the world... LMAO!

It just occurred to me about this one entry where some devices may not play well with it.

I'm hoping for some more member confirmations before sealing the deal with a flashable installer.

The crap hit the fan with the other versions. I was taken back and had to put my "Geek Hat" on.

I also had just seen an announcement by one of the XDA Administrators regarding a big Labs update pushed just over an hour ago. It's a good thing that I don't get the other bad tomatoes on the Labs Store earlier.

Anyways I'm going to bed and hope to see some more positive feedback and wrap up this update with the rest.

Good Night!!!

Unfortunately i still got same error with 6.0.6, both primary xda link and filehost, not tried recovery options, i am on mi max 2 miui 9 developer, i will keep using 6.0.3 version that is working flawless for me...
[Android Apps and Games] j1gga84:
[MENTION=2934546]TioCareca[/MENTION]

Did you also try uninstalling, reboot and installing 6.0.6 again?

regards
[Android Apps and Games] TioCareca:
yes, same result..

I will change rom today or tomorrow and will give it a new try then..

Edit: i am now using LOS, 6.0.6 install and works, maybe some residues of old apk...
[Android Apps and Games] sharkie405:
606 installs and is working good. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
:D

Thank you all very much for your feedback... It's very much appreciated!!!

I apologize for this inconvenience. I believe that there might be residual files/folders after Uninstalling the app that might be either the issue itself that some face or a contributing factor.

As a personal suggestion, before uninstalling any app, first go to the apps details, force stop, clean/clear up the Data & Cache and then uninstall it. This helps me to make sure that I've done the residual cleaning before the removing of the app itself.

I believe that one or two of the minor compatibility changes may also be creating a bit of a pain requiring the actual "ibuprofen". :)

I've recently been thinking about developing the app for a system app installation but, i would actually need to test it out and, if all goes well, release it on a separate DevDB thread so this one is still available for those who can only use this one.

Just an idea for thought... :)

*** I'm going to be creating the flashable zip installer in a moment for those currently awaiting it. ***

Please let me know if anyone has any further questions, concerns and feedback. Thanks a Bunch!!!

Confirmed, version 6.0.6 is working for me as well. Had to uninstall the 6.0.3 first then do a full reboot, fast reboot didn't work for me, then the apk from DOWNLOADS installed fine. Nice touch with the new notification, looks good.
[Android Apps and Games] thorin0815:
Same here, only worked the above way.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
***** HEAR YE! HEAR YE! *****

I figured out the minor issue with updating the app on the Labs Store and made the appropriate changes needed.

If you encounter any errors updating the app, then this new Version MAY require the member to uninstall and reinstall the app as before.

As a personal suggestion, before uninstalling any app, first go to the apps details, force stop, clean/clear up the Data & Cache and then uninstall it. This helps me to make sure that I've done the residual cleaning before the removing of the app itself.

Please see the Changelog, on the 2nd Post, for any additional information.

I apologize for any inconveniences that this may be causing and have been taking steps/precautions to help elevate the recent issues from happening again in the future.

Thank you all very much for your time, patience and support and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

[MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION], version 6.0.7 installed in top of 6.0.6 without problem, no need to clean or uninstall previous version...
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Thank you for the confirmation.

The only reason I had mentioned that was for those who may encounter an issue with going from v6.0.3 to the latest one since versions 6.0.5 & 6.0.6 were released so close.

Ok, so i decide to test that:

603 to 606 not install

603 to 607 not install

but

606 to 607 install fine...

Don't have 605 so i not test it...

Btw, clicking links on about section in app doesn't do anything, it's to be that way?
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I really do appreciate your feedback and the extra time you had spent to provide me with your findings.

I had an issue with 2 out of 3 of my devices when I just updated from the 603 build to both the 606 & 607 builds as well with 1 device that went fine.

This was why I had provided guidance for those members who may have experienced the same issue with removing the older versions for the new one.

One of the items I had found, regarding compatibility, was that the 600-603 builds were specifying information to be installed specifically to external and i didn't like this.

So i then changed it to auto for a more default via device/user since some devices didn't like or work well with that external specification.

Also, another issue arose (inadvertently) with a new signature file i had and I had to continue with the older one. This was not a big deal but, another pain to figure out on top of the other issues that arose.

Regarding the URL in the About portion... I touched base with that a bit but, had set that issue aside for other items on the agenda. I had it working at one point of time in the beta testing, before i launched this thread, and it stopped working at some point. I plan to get back to it at some point but, I have other things on my plate.

I want to thank everyone for your continued support for this development and please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns as well as feedback too. Their all important to me.

***** QUICK UPDATE *****

Updated The SELinux Switch to v6.0.8 b608 was just made.

It pretty much reflects a small change for the Flashable Zip Installer to correct a minor cleanup fix when the app is being updated.

I also added a New Holiday Icon for the season!

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Enjoy and SEASONS GREETINGS!!!

Neither the 606 or 608 flashable zips worked on my Pixel 2 XL. Both apk installers did, though. I'm running the 608 via the apk install, and it's working perfectly.

With regard to the flashable zips, the app is just simply not installed. There is no com.ibuprophen... folder in data/app after the flash. I didn't get any error, and TWRP says it flashed it successfully. I'm not sure if it's relevant, but for the Pixel 2 and maybe even the OG Pixel, the updater-script path for system apps has to be /system/system instead of just one /system. Maybe there's something like that with /data too?
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I had tried something a bit differently with the Flashable 606+ build Installers and they did test fine but, I don't have a Pixel device so the slight changes i had made may not be Pixel Friendly (so far).

I'll pull those 2 Flashable Zips and re-upload another one without the modification.

Before i do [MENTION=1434592]sharkie405[/MENTION], were they successful with the 603 builds and previous?

***** FYI AND FEEDBACK NEEDED *****

I am thinking about closing The SELinux Toggler thread as well as, possibly, disabling the Labs Store feed (aka hidden/inactive).

I'm also going to be launching a more appropriate Q&A Support thread for continued users of The SELinux Toggler App and wondering if you could please provide me with some input regarding the new thread title?

I'm thinking about one of the following:

[Q&A]The SELinux Toggler Help/Support Thread For Continued Users

[Q&A][APP]The SELinux Toggler Help & Support Thread For Continued Users

[Q&A][HELP/SUPPORT]The SELinux Toggler For Continued Users

I could really use some member feedback for the new thread AND if you feel that i should disable the Labs Store feed (aka hidden/inactive).

I'm asking for member input because all my developments are for the users of the app and i would also like the new thread title to reflect both a clear message (without confusion) as well as one that is easily understood.

Thank you all for your time and understanding.

The middle option (second) appears to be more clear than the others. It eliminates possible ambiguities.

Just my opinion though.
[Android Apps and Games] Bryanx86:
I'm in agreement with the former comment. Seems the middle one is stated the most clearly, imo of course. Thanks Dev! Also thanks to whomever linked this thread from the v4a thread.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
[MENTION=1803258]ibu[/MENTION]prophren I have always felt devs should immediately close or lock any threads that are not fully supported or updated anymore. If an app is replaced by a new version or better, updated version like the toggler and switch apps that the old version should be closed off and have any posts directed here or to pm if possible. I have watched many threads go in the crapper after support was abandoned or dev team just quit monitoring it. Check the official Nova Launcher thread on XDA. Kevin Barry or teslacoil hasn't even looked at that hell hole in over 4 years and it is a horror show. I don't know why XDA doesn't just shut it down.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I agree with you for the most part regarding control of a thread...

I do have a limited understanding for what you are stating and it would not be right for me to state what I know without being drawn into an opinion/speculation and it wouldn't be my place to do so. This is more appropriate for a Moderator/Administrator to be addressing.

What i can state/specify is that, besides a Moderator & Administrator (the obvious ones), an RC & RD can control the opening/closing of a thread (including a DevDB threads) but, only for threads in which that specific RC/RD had opened themselves.

I would be more comfortable (by keeping the Peace) for a Moderator or Administrator to get into anything else besides what I had stated above.

I'm not stating that your wrong but, I'm just taking a cautious route and keeping the peace.

Maybe [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION] can help with more specific information. He's one of the Administrators who does an extremely great job with explaining the practices and procedures for the xda-developers in a more "Layman's" term.

I really do appreciate your input with this and always encourage using "the power of thought"... LMAO! :)

[Android Apps and Games] MikeChannon:
It makes sense to close a thread if a new version is released and further to make a final post before closing to direct to the new version (possibly update and link post one as well). As mentioned not all Devs have thread closing permissions so they can't always do it themselves but a Moderator can help with that.

This sounds like common sense but it's not a rule and Mods wouldn't be able to monitor it properly if it was... There are many thousands of threads created per day, millions of threads and posts overall, so making such things a rule would be futile. Also punishing Devs for non-compliance with such a thing might not be our smartest move.

There's something else to consider too. Often even although a Dev may not support, or stop supporting a thread, there are often regular Members who have sufficient knowledge to provide support in their absence. There is no rule that says a Dev must provide support at all, though most will. So we don't routinely close threads, they either fade from view or Members are still active in the thread even if the Dev isn't. That's not to say a Moderator won't close a thread if they spot there is clearly a new version and our Users are just stumbling across an outdated one.

Not sure I answered what was being asked:D I stepped into this thread and only read back a couple of posts.

Mike

I ended up just closing The SELinux Toggler thread and turned it off on the Labs Store as well.

I decided that the referral to the Switch app on both the OP as well as the final post announcement should take care of it.

I just want to thank everyone for their input regarding the Q&A thread for the Toggler and it was extremely valuable for member feedback when asked but, I've decided that I was just temporarily insane for thinking about doing that in the first place when The SELinux Switch App is now the continued development and the one that is encouraged to use.

I only left the downloads available on the thread and File Host Account for those who may still want a copy.

Thanks a bunch everyone!!! :D

What a hectic week...

I just wrapped up a few projects with 2 more to go before the big update to the XDA Classic Forum app. These were only projects that I was close to completing but, other responsibilities had pulled me from it.

I had just revived a Next Launcher Theme that I really liked but, stopped working right when Marshmallow was released. The developer abandoned it about 5 +/- years ago and pulled it off the Play Store shortly afterwards. I don't know if anyone remembers the Shader2D theme for the Next Launcher. I just rebuilt that Shader2D and renamed it Shader Reloaded and is now working great for 3 of my devices.

Now I'm going to get TheTVDB Connection app tackled in hopes of getting it completed soon.

Both the apps will be released in their own thread once their ready.

Just a little FYI on what's going on. :)

I would also like to say to everyone of the xda-developers community...

- Merry Christmas!

- Happy Hanukkah!

- Happy Kwanzaa!

- Happy Holidays!

(to the Politically Correct LOL!)

- Happy Happy Joy Joy!

(to everyone else LOL!)

Happy New Year to ALL!!!

A small observation in miui 8.5

SE Linux switch worked perfect on Xiaomi mi3 (Android MM, MIUI 8.5).

However, one observation in MIUI, app could end up not auto-starting after next reboot reverting SELinux back to enforce.

I had to go to apps autostart configuration in settings, enable SELinux switch to autostart. It looked great from there on.

I currently don't have mi3 device with me, else i would have given the exact settings location.
