[Android Apps and Games] :
I've just recently installed this on unrooted LineageOS 17.1 and I can't interpret some of the results it's giving me. Hoping someone can explain.

I'm displaying System App activity, and I see a system app named "root" which is slightly concerning. No such app listed in System Apps. It has 2 blocks over the course of about 16 hours: accounts.reddit.com and reddit.maps.fastly.net, both legit reddit domains, and both contacted very frequently by the official Reddit app.

The advice I've received thus far is that it's malware, but that doesn't seem to make sense to me. I see in the logs that turning monitoring on/off logs a root process seemingly related to TrackerControl, so I'm hoping the "root" app is a similar thing. I cannot figure out how to trigger it though, it just seems to happen 2-3 times daily.

Edit: 2-3 times daily is apparently wrong. It's been 24 hours now since it's 2nd contact with a Reddit domain.

Also, in the traffic logs, sometimes I see no App or UID, just "type 3/3". Only ever related to a domain one of my apps uses, but it doesn't list the app or the UID of that app. What's that about?

Edit 2: after nearly 3 days of nothing, "root" made contact with sdk.split.io at the exact same time as Firefox, so I'm convinced it's a related process and not malware. Still don't know why but I'm far less worried.
[Android Apps and Games] evil-google:
Hi, does anyone here know how (or whether it is possible) to run TrackerControl along with NordVPN? I quite like TC app as it blocks all the ads etc very effectively but recently subscribed to NordVPN and if I run TC, NordVPN gets disabled and vice versa.

I presume this is due to both apps creating their own VPNs and just wondering whether there is a workaround for this.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Tanzin01:
No work around sadly.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
A +1 on the above. While I understand this is not a firewall app, it has the internet access toggle already. To allow a whitelist/blacklist type scenario, the internet switch could simply default to either on or off for new apps.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Your guess is correct and this will not likely be changed in the app, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Pfrinz:
Did somebody find out why TC doesnt work on some devices and maybe even came up with a solution? :)

It blocks all traffic on Xperia X2 Tablet on /e/ OS for example...

Edit: And why is it I have a rocket symbol in the status bar on some devices (like the Xperia Z2 Tablet) and on others not (like on my Xperia Z5 compact with /e/ OS whee its working just fine)?
[Android Apps and Games] kr428:
Hi alls;

first off, thanks for creating TrackerControl - really helpful and so far it seems the most "efficient" of these apps I could find, both in terms of features and in terms of being-able-to-explain-to-someone. Very good.

However, one "issue" I found so far is that (apparently) the VPN approach makes it difficult to use (or breaks) some local-only applications, such as KDEConnect or Warpinator. Usually, in these cases, disabling TrackerControl VPN fixes things but isn't really desirable for other reasons.

So to ask: Is there a way to allow specific apps to bypass the VPN completely? I'm not even sure if this is a TC or an Android issue, but maybe this is the first place to ask as I guess someone else already stumbled across this...

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Kristian
[Android Apps and Games] vespagsrider:
First of all, thank you for this app that I'm using on CalyxOS.

Trackercontrol blocks the loading of internet pages with the browsers I'm using (Firefox and Duckduckgo).

Are there recommended settings that would let them work correctly while still using TC and protecting my privacy ?

Thank you in advance for your help !
[Android Apps and Games] Tanzin01:
It will need packet editing. So, No setting's available.
[Android Apps and Games] L1p1c1:
Can you clarify how to do that ? I wanna add block list from adguard plus tracker control, not to replace trackercontrol list.

How to use both of them ?
[Android Apps and Games] Icetea:
I have compared the functions of TC and NG for a while. NG wins!

NG can better stop app traffic if it is no tracker. NG is also my favorite because TC is a ( at my opinion) another kind of clone of Marcels work and I prefer the original! Sorry, that's my opinion.

Btw:

1.) why does " track network usage " don't work?

2.) I think sometimes TC don't show internet activity of apps, but they have.
[Android Apps and Games] L1p1c1:
I dont understand anything. What NG stops better if there are no trackers ? :))
[Android Apps and Games] LordCthulu:
How does TC work with private dns? It keeps popping up a bubble at the bottom but the text gets cut off and I can't find any info about it online. I want to use private dns because it provides the best control but I also want to block things at the device level.
[Android Apps and Games] smacm:
Installed Tracker Control v2022-07-04-F-DROID. When I turn on the tracker blocking, Chrome and Brave browsers no longer work on the phone. They just hang loading pages. Firefox works. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] donjoe0:
What? But there's a closed issue that says blocking per company was being added in 2020. https://github.com/TrackerControl/tracker-control-android/issues/55

Vivaldi browser works mostly fine for me, just noticed it doesn't load Reddit at all so far, so I have to keep the Monitor toggle set to Off for Vivaldi in TrackerControl for now, until I find out what the deal is with Reddit and how to unblock it separately.
[Android Apps and Games] mispela:
Is there a similar application for Windows?
[Android Apps and Games] dtrail1:
I'm having some trouble to get TC to work with Invizible Pro.

Spoiler content hidden.

Edit: the problem is, that TC doesn't have an option to filter TCP traffic. That's why it bypasses InviZible Pro.

Since there doesn't seem to be any support anymore, here's another solution, should anyone else be interested:

Ditch TC. Use Invizible Pro in VPN mode (or root mode. But that one breaks my mobile data after a while, to the point where I need to reboot. Seems to be vendor related, according to the dev), use the great Foss app "App Manager" (check it out on F-Droid) to block trackers. It works great! Only downside to this one is, you have to find out by yourself, which trackers you can block without breaking the apps functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] Gaudens:
All unencrypted DNS requests can be filtered by the TC VPN adapter. It makes no difference whether you use, a web browser or another type of app. The problem with browsers is, that over time, a lot of DNS filter entries are created. Something that can be easily blocked on one website, will not work on another website. If thousands of DNS filtering rules have already been created for your browser, it is very difficult to find the filtering rule that is causing the problem. That is why browsers are not supported. (But it does work.)

I assume everyone know that only one app can use its own VPN adapter on each Android profile. The VPN adapter should only intercept the DNS requests, make them available for TC to process and forward or drop them. I cannot say what happens when apps with root rights make changes to the IP table. But that could also be a source of errors for TC.

I've read a lot about how TC can pass DNS requests to other apps. Apps like personalDNSfilter or InviZible Pro. Unfortunately I can't get it to work. Maybe someone knows how to set it up correctly? Or if it even possible??

For the Xiaomi Redmi 7 phone up to now only 2 Pixel Experience ROMs got released which are based on the latest Stock Android 9 and/or the latest Stock Android 10, AFAIK.

It seems to me the actually installed ROM is an A/B system one.

My suggestion:

Completely erase all existing phone's partitions via Fastboot except /boot /vendor /efs and /odm partitions if those exist

Re-flash the Pixel Experience ROM of your choice

Hi,

My friend and I are on his phone trying to reinstall the stock firmware of Asus.

We tried multiple things and got multiple errors (that I don't have right now but can look for them).

We tried reinstalling LineageOS + the recovery but the phone now boots in the bootloader directly.

Do you guys have any idea how to get LineageOS properly working again to then flash the stock firmware + relock bootloader (or flash stock and relock firmware directly)

Many thanks in advance.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] flxch:
We have found a solution.

Follow this guide: https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-6-2019/how-to/guide-unbricking-zs630kl-t3998767

At some point, he tells you to install one firmware, and at another point he tells you to install another one. Select the one he tells you to unzip in the "Preparing the environment" paragraph.

The phone is working again and if you wish to relock the bootloader, execute this command while in fastboot : fastboot oem asus-back .

Please check on your side because if you look the bootloader after having booted into the OS for the first time your device might not be Play Protect certified anymore...

When switching between major revisions of Android, e.g. from Android 10 to 11, I recommend a clean install using a factory image (with the -w flag present) whenever possible.

Maybe it isn't necessary to dump it because it is possibly on the software cd or avalible for download for owners with a serial number.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Sorry, it is not. You need to wait until cooked versions get on the forum. But for this we need our spl solution. Please go to General section and find thread asking for subsection for X7510 and place your vote for it. Without it OliNex group wan't start their work on Hard/Soft SPL solution.

Done. I've voted.

But just for being sure you understood me right.

I wanna have the german x7510 Rom to flash it on my x7500 an add keyboard and microdrive drivers.

What I asked for in my Post was if so. may dump the rom if it isn't possible to download.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Then you need rom for x7500, not for x7510. These are plenty to choose from, also german version have sean somware. Go to the link which list all roms for Athena. I have sean there links to german roms as well.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AgentBignose:
Do you meen this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=397518 or this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_Upgrades List?

Because there is no original T-Mobile or HTC WM 6.1 Rom.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Thats true. There is no original german 6.1 rom not even english WWE version. I told you already. They do not exist as files available because nither HTC nor any other party has released it. It was only in X7510 devices.

Some devs here like Pawel has dumped it from X7510 (but WWE version) and then used for their work. But that means their roms were already cooked. You can not dump rom from one machine and then load it to another one, cose after dumping you get a bunch of files wich you have to put togather, cooke a rom. This means you need to have unlock you CID at least or if you have a t-mobile ameo, then sim unlock as well.

So those german cooked versions are the only available, according to my knowledge.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AgentBignose:
Thank you for this informations. Now I understand what's the Problem.

But is it difficult to dump a rom?

Because the dump of a german htc or tmobile 6.1 rom would be very usefull for me, even I cant flash them directly because I know so. who wants to beginn cook a german rom version.

But therefor he needs the dump.

So my question:

Is it difficult to dump and can one use this advise for it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334680 ?

And how difficult is it to ripp the htc programms from the dumped rom and make cabs of them?

An other question:

There was such a nice rom kitchen for the wallaby http://www.romkitchen.de/ .

One was able to simly choose with one click what should be in one's rom.

Is this possible for Athena to? and do you think this will be programmed anytime?

Because even with the existing irus rom kitchen its very difficult I think.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
You can try Sogarth's Hypercore kitchen. It is more user friendly.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
Kitchen is one thing, ingredients are the other. You can use Sogatrhs kitchen and put german dumped rom in it and then cooke it according to your needs.

Howewer, I think there is already cooked german rom made out of mixture of wwe6.1 and some german version.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AgentBignose:
Yes I know that I could use the rom kitchen for flashing a german dumped rom but this is exactly what I'm asking for.

Please post the link if you know a german dump.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Tadeusz:
I do not think there is one. Never heard of.

But you can take the German rom ready cooked by somebody else (there is one as you know) and dissemble it in Sogarth's Kitchen. Then you can take what you want from it and put into Sogarth's base, changing in this way all files necessary for German language, for example. You would make some changes in XIP and regs as well to change the language.

Or the other way, taking some files from Sogarth's base into your German base taken from this German cooked rom.

Of course to do it right, you must know what you are doing, but it is the same as cooking rom for x7500 out of x7510, which is different machine and has different drivers.

However I have never sow any post from anybody saing that he has German X7510 version, so rather no chance for dumped German rom from this device. I actualy doubt if HTC has ever released German version. The same about T-Mobile, but I could be wrong.
