Re: Firewall Profiles to Block Apps From Using 3G/Wifi and Save B

Is it safe to use this method on a non-CM7 rom? Also is it safe to use for another phone? (I'm a Samsung GS2 owner).

Btw, the link for Gscript on post 15 doesn't seem to work. Tried to google it but didn't find any useful

Thanks in advance,
Andreas

I may try this... later on, after work. Seems like alot to do.
Yesterday i was actually thinking about something similar... like an app that only turns 3G on when another specific app needs it. But that would be a pain. There was another genius idea i came up with, but i dont remember xD

Hi, really interesting stuff! But unfortunately I get some errors with Gscript when trying to launch the on and off scripts:

No such file or directory stderr: modprobe: chdir/(system/lib/modules):

Any chance anybody knows how to fix this? I tried to google and I'm not sure but I think there's some problems associated with iptables?
I would really appreciate some help!!

Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hello,
And what about installing new applications?
I mean:
When you generate a script to allow 3G/Wifi access to some applications and deny access to some others.

Because the script has been generated on an existing applications list, but after installing a new application, the list of application grows.

Then, when you install a new application, is she allowed (by the scripts) to access to 3G/Wifi or she is denied to access to 3G/WIFI ??
