OK, a classic firewall is looking only to the used network-ports and allow or disallow the communication: this type of firewall can not make a difference between a good and bad data transmission (for example the firewall built-in in our wifi-routers).

But extented versions of firewalls have a built-in behavior control of applications:

I want to decide, which application is allowed to communicate WITHOUT ANY USERCONTROL over Wifi or a mobile data connection and which one not.

- I want to stop (possible) spyware from sending my private data out

- I want to stop software looking to their developers server an stop working when the developer say "stop, buy the new the new version - the old one is out of order yet"

And in linux there is a system function, which has the information, which network sockets are owned by which application (ipuser?).

There are only a few parameters to set when compiling a new kernel, to activate these functions

Please look to the Droidwall site and the screenshot of the software.

Regards
[Desire General] kuhine:
That is the point, but IPTABLES is not working on allmost all android kernels, except the oclock roms. Or am I wrong?

Droidwall is only a graphical frontend for iptables! Not more.

Everytime when we install new software (i.e. out of the android market), we get a list displayed of what the program likes to do. And there is allmost "unrestrictive network use" for even the smallest witgets... I want to decline this network use, but it is a "take all or nothing" thing.

I'm not a modern facebook/twitter user: take all my data... here a some more private details... and here are photos and addresses from all my friends, too.

What is so scary to select out some applications from sending data?

And with a working iptables we can do so.

Dramatical continuance...

the real reason could be: there are some application installed on the phone, which must not re-check their licenses on every use...

(only to save mobile data volume... ;) without switching to flight mode)
[Desire General] uTauro:
I think an app that can edit the given permissions would be much more useful than a firewall. But I haven't found something like that yet.
[Desire General] Brut.all:
@kuhine

I think nearly every custom ROM has iptables, CM has it for sure. I don't know about ipuser though.

It's impossible for now. Android convention is to give all required permissions to an app or don't install it at all, so apps aren't designed to support lack of permissions. Most of them will probably FC, even if you will block out some minor feature.

Hello all,

today I saw the message, that a wallpaper app sent private information to their server in china:

h t t p ://mobile.venturebeat.com/2010/07/28/android-wallpaper-app-that-steals-your-data-was-downloaded-by-millions/

In the meantime I choose this rom with "DROIDWALL" firewall support:

[ROM-FroYo AOSP] OpenDesire v2.3a

And I found a new free firewall program named "ANDFIRE", but I didn't test it yet.
[Desire General] Daelyn:
Checked ANDFIRE out. Seems to work fine on my DeFrost 2.2c release. Will check it out further. Interface looks very similar to DroidWall and that also seems to work fine on my device.

Will have to investigate further, but it's a good idea to get it working.

I noticed today that the SMS Messaging app displays the word Sent and a time for text messages that have been received rather than sent. Is it just my Nexus One (FRF91) that is having a brain fart or do other see the same issue ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
It's telling you when the message was sent to you. It's working fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp1963:
So a message that my phone has received is marked sent because someone sent it to me ? Android 2.1 marked it as received ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erigion:
I think it's a regression. It should say "Sent" for your messages and "Received" for your contacts' messages.

Also, when I get a SMS notification and select it from the notification bar it takes me to the list of SMS threads rather than the specific thread for the contact who just messaged me. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the behavior for Eclair and is another regression or a horrible UI decision.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalythu:
is anyone else having a bug where when you click the first message in the messaging app and it is showing a completely different conversation? Ive been sending many messages to the wrong people because of that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obstacles can kill:
It is telling you what time the message was sent to you. I do agree that it should say Received but it's not a bug.

That has happened to me a couple times. I have always noticed, thankfully, before sending a text. Except for once when I accidentally texted one of my boys with a <3. lol
[G1 Android Development] alutastisch:
Hey guys :D

i´ve got something for the lazy ones of you ;)

if you don't want to install the whole android sdk to use adb or fastboot you can just install this file.

it´s a package which extracts

fastboot.exe

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

AdbWinApi.dll

adb.exe

to your Windows directory.

so - extract the file

then just doubleclick it, press install and you´re done.

you even don't have to reboot your computer

here´s the proof that it works.
[G1 Android Development] Evil-Monkey:
will this work with windows 7? i already have adb running on my vista but i need it on the 7. Windows 7 has a sync problem, will this cut that out of the way?
[G1 Android Development] d1srupt3r:
Doesn't work for me.. When I run adb.exe just a random command showed and then closed. How can I use this?
[G1 Android Development] rk0:
Open cmd. Then use the command "adb whatever".

Edit: Just saw this extracts them to the Windows directory.
[G1 Android Development] Ohsaka:
Start -> Run -> cmd

then in the black window that pops up, type adb

It will show you all the possible options to use with the adb command.

Like:

adb shell

adb reboot

adb logcat
[G1 Android Development] sleepy3194:
So does this work?
[G1 Android Development] d1srupt3r:
Thanks for all the input. So all I have to do is connect my phone and everything follows or should I configure something in my phone like turning on the Debug? Sorry I am not familiar with ADB, I was just about to read its FAQ. :)
[G1 Android Development] alutastisch:
that just extracts the adb binaries into the windows folder + usb driver + fastboot binaries. if you run it the nothing will happen, you have to run it via cmd.

for example adb shell.

i'm using this on windows 7 and it´s working for me.

JUST EXTRACT, INSTALL AND YOU CAN RUN ADB + FASTBOOT VIA CMD

DON´T FORGET TO ACTIVATE USB DEBUGGING IN YOUR DEVICE
[G1 Android Development] ultma75:
works great!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Couple of suggestions for the op, look up stericsons autosign script and incorporate its's making the tools folder path of ur system $path. Also write the fact that u gotta install adb drivers for ur phone to work.
[G1 Android Development] alutastisch:
@Daneshm90

you don't have to install anything, just install and you are good to go
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hmm, u sure ? Cuz i always download the sdk -> add tools to my path -> run the sdk and select to download usb drivers package -> then give windows those drivers to install.

Anyway, u seem to be a installing adb expert, help this guy out will ya

here´s the proof that it works.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Ok, then u should clarify to extract to C:\Windows. If u extract it anywhere else it wont work, reason it works from C:\windows is because by default windows will look for in that folder for a command. Also can u go in device manager and check ur device's drivers, u have probably previously installed them as i have not heard of adb working w/o installing the device drivers.
[G1 Android Development] alutastisch:

questions? read the thread carefully.

Its still processing.
[G1 Android Development] alutastisch:
then tell me why it works on my computer?

i guess cuz i got win7?

another user here in this thread said it´s working well, too?!
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Theres only one explanation i can fathom, u had installed the drivers previously, just hadnt setup adb. They're 2 different things.

I mean if getting adb to work was as simple as extracting it and cd'in to that directory and running adb shell, why wud google make us install drivers ? Btw AdbWinUsbApi.dll is not the driver, its the dll that adb uses to communicate with the usb drivers of windows, then windows redirects it to ur phone. Here are the contents of usb_driver which u get when u download the sdk.

amd64 (64 bit drivers)

androidwinusb86.cat

androidwinusba64.cat

android_winusb.inf (part of the driver that guides windows depending on ur os (64/32) to the appropriate folder)

i386 (32 bit drivers)

source.properties
[G1 Android Development] alutastisch:
but tell my why is it working for me and others?
[G1 Android Development] ftruck90:
Hmm it could be possible that he has windows setup to automatically find and install drivers
[HD2 General] nashed24:
I'm going crazy, after i get a texts it takes up to a minute to load the new message to my conversation. I know this is because i have over 300 texts with this person, but i don't see why i should be required to delete the texts. Iphone had the simple solution of only showing recent texts, and you have to press 'show older messages' to load them.

Anyone aware of a way to do that?

And im just gonna assume the lag while doing anything else on the phone, when you're about to receive a text is just normal. =/
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
please search some more as your problem has been discussed many many times.

i will help you now but you are expected (under the rules of this site) to search and let us know what/how much you searched before starting a new thread...capish?

first, lets restate the question:

1. your messaging application becomes slow, and you are correct to conclude that it is because of the number of messages in a given thread. any way to speed this up?

2. is there an alternative messaging application that is leaps and bounds better in terms of performance and functionality?

right off the bat, let me just clarify that the bad ass lag you experience when the device is about to receive a message is "normal", in the sense that all people using HTC messaging experience it and have gotten used to it. but that lag certainly doesn't occur on a whole bunch of other windows mobile devices/products.

so...you've asked question 1, and your assumption to archive old messages is a meaningful way out. so to answer question 1, you can use applications like "pimbackup" to periodically archive your old messages.

but the more powerful question is question 2. and the answer is...stop using HTC's ****ty messaging client, and disable that *****! the stock windows mobile messaging client is functionally equivalent and doesn't suffer from the lag issues. this means you won't have to even think about archiving your messages to gain performance.

so, to answer question 2, find a ROM that neatly keeps the HTC messaging disabled (NRGZ's "Energy" ROM series does this). or search for a thread started by me ("ASCIIker") in the HD2 general section for a guide on how to disable the HTC messaging client on stock ROM.

finally, some new versions of the HTC messaging client have appeared that significantly reduces the lag issues. if you read my guide, you might be able to choose better whether you want to stick to HTC messaging (or some newer version of it) or if you would rather be better off with the stock windows mobile messaging client.

good luck! and remember to search search search!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] WrEcK3:
i recently did the security unlock on my sprint tp2 and i am unable to connect to any wifi. i have tried changing settings on my router and tried different roms with no luck.

i get the message to error connecting to router. re-enter key and press retry.

i have tried with a security key and with out and get the same message. the security key is always correct, i have changed it many times and tried again with still no luck.

any help would be awesome.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] EJoSoNYC:
I'm having the same issue. I don't want to call sprint so if you get a solution let me know.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] WrEcK3:
try this

EJoSoNYC,

I redid the HSPL from the unlocker, Redid the radio unlock, Then updated to the 2.32.00WU radio, soft-reset and my wifi works fine.

might of been a fluke or something with the flash. you might want to possibly try it again and see what happens
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] EJoSoNYC:
Thanks,

I'll try that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanium4332:
Hi all,

I personally really like the default Launcher2.apk from froyo, however unfortunately Cyanogen has now only included ADW.Launcher in cm6. After upgrading to cm6-rc1, I'm having trouble locating a copy of a Launcher2.apk from froyo.

As my phone's bootloader is not unlocked, it'll be a large hassle for me to go back to stock, and upgrade just to get Launcher2.apk...

I was wondering whether someone could post their stock /system/app/Launcher2.apk from an FRF91 install, to save me the trouble.

If you have adb installed, the command should just be:

adb pull /system/bin/Launcher2.apk

Cheers, Xanium
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
remote object '/system/bin/Launcher2.apk' does not exist
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Just pull it from a stock rom and push it back overwriting ADW.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
Mine had trouble seeing it. I tried a version I compiled myself from AOSP, as well as a resigned one from a deodexed FRF91 rom without success. I'm sure I missed something. I don't know what though. I've replaced the launcher in older CM versions with my own modified one without issues.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theherodrownd:
If you download CM6 from ROM manager you can choose to install with ADWLauncher or Launcher2
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmanxx:
Launcher2.apk and Launcher2.odex are located at system/app. not at system/bin
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
Really? Awesome. I guess I'll have to try that.

Here is a stock AOSP build of Launcher2.apk.

EDIT: Rom Manager didn't allow me to select launcher. The file I linked to above worked fine though. Just reboot and it will default to Launcher2. The ADWLauncher entry in the Settings app will disappear as well. :)

I made an update.zip (for hdpi-devices) to make replacing the launcher easy for future upgrades. It just adds Launcher2.apk and removes ADWLauncher.apk.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neolith_god:
Launcher2 just keeps FC on my G1. I'm using CM6-RC1.

I installed like:

adb .\Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk

adb reboot

Phone boots but launcher just keeps crashing. Do I have to do some kind of wipe to get this to work? Does anyone have Launcher2 working on CM6-RC1?

EDIT: Perhaps I need to uninstall the old ADW launcher? I rm'd it from /system/app but another post suggested using pm unsinstall com.android.launcher. I haven't tried that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
You need Launcher2 built from AOSP for mdpi. The one in my post is for hdpi. I forgot to mention that.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alephxero:
Never mind. I downloaded your AOSP-compiled version of launcher.apk and it worked without a hitch. I must have had a corrupted file when I tried to install before. Thanks for posting the files!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the_features:
Hey RaduG, quality roms. very impressive stuff. i know its a bit cheeky but when do you think you'll have a super fast Froyo one going? look forward to seeing your take as both sense and vanilla have gained a lot from you development. thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Aniquibobo:
Wow...kind a fast Rom

Thanks

Ani
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Thanks RaduG. Download and testing ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Moonshield:
Didn't tried this Cronos (gave up these roms after the buggy 2.0), but the battery life is supperb so far, the best battery performance for an Eclair based rom.

About the speed, it's quite fast, though the kernel limits the freqs to 691Mhz. Benchmark results are decent (~2.85 MFLOPS in 1.88 sec) for a rom without JIT.

It's best feature (other then the battery life) is its stabillity, had no FC since flashing yesterday at noon :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Okay this sounds goog. I'm still searching for a perfect 2.1 Rom for my girlfriend and me.

So i will give it a try when RaduG figured out why the perfomance goes down.

Thanks for help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Moonshield:
About the "going down" of the performances, I dont realy understand what's all the fuss about?! :confused:

o.k, the banchmark did decreased a bit (from 2.9 to 2.88 MFLOPS, big difference), but the rom does not feel laggy or slugish. If any, it feels smoother and more responsive. For example- when pressing the 'menu' botton in the homescreen, the menu pops up faster here then in the 1.1r1. Other then that all feels more or less the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aankun:
I agree, it feels smoother and more responsive. And still the fastest ROM i've ever use. BTW my benchmark score reach 3.011 using 1.1r2 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
I get 3.033MFLOPS with Linpack and 32.7FPS with Neocore.

And indeed, very smooth and fast ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
The benchmark results do not show how responsive/snappy the ROM is. If the ROM feels better this way, I won't change it back for some extra points in Linpack.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
THanks for the information.

Ok i will give it a try when the kernels are released. I don't know if my hero can handle this freqs.

@RaduG

Any ETA for the kernels?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
Means your phone doesn't support 691 mhz. Wait till radug release the alternative kernels then try flashing again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
This ROM is blazing fast. I just blow out 3.028 Mflops score on Linpack.

If somebody find this ROM slow or slugish, please check what external apps you have installed, or do tests before you install anything.

Also this is the only ROM where Neocore shows almost same result with or without sound.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msc125:
nice one, linpack doesn't show the full story....

is MMS working out of the box?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
Agreed. JIT enabled sense ROM are less smooth even so score is over 4,7Mflops, but benchmarking gives general idea about ROM performance.
