Old devices make really good mobile wifi hotspots and portable media servers(for devices that support this functionality). I wouldn't splash $300 on a new device just to do this and chances are I'd have more face time with my new device than I'd do with the old one. That said, I'd like to have the ability to turn the hotspot on and off without having to fiddle through the settings each time and to that effect, this app also comes with a widget.
HOWEVER: The developers of this app have discontinued it's support. This is the response when I mailed the support team:
Hi,
Thank you for your email, unfortunately,
supporting this app is discontinued and we
pulled it from Google play due to changes in
Android OS...
Best regards
The main issue is that the wifi network security options JUST DON'T WORK!!! You'll set up the hotspot fine; Enter the SSID, choose the security option etc. But when you activate the hotspot, it security is set to OPEN. You have to manually change the security each time which is a nuisance.
Possible reasons for this could be because I'm running a nightly build of CyanogenMod 7.2. The wifi tethering has only two options for security; Open and WPA2/PSK while the app has 3; Open, WPA/PSK and WPA2/PSK. If the developer is comparing a selected index rather than a selected item to the phone's options, choosing option 3 in the app(index 2) would pass and invalid state when compared to the phone's options because they only go as far as option 2(index 1). This is why the setting is set to open, as a fall back because trying to set to index 2 failed. I found this to be true when I selected the second option(index 1) in the app which is WPA/PSK. After the hotspot is active, the security is set to WPA2/PSK which is the second option(index 1) in the tethering options.
If any of you have used this app, then you'll know that there is no better app available. Let's just hope that the support for the app will start again soon to fix this issue for CyanogenMod users.
I have a Shield TV arriving later today. On my previous Android box I setup a VPN with a kill switch via AFWall+. This involved the installation of the OpenVPN connect application with my VPN provider details, then I used AFWall+ to prevent any data that didn't originate via a VPN connection, effectively making this a kill switch. This involved allowing both the OpenVPN application and Android's VPN api full access. It's the latter I'm enquiring about, does this api exist on the Shield TV? I've heard that native VPN isn't possible as the normal VPN settings aren't present. But does that include the vpn service api itself?
No one?

i have the exact same setup on all my devices, including shield tv, although ive only had to allow the openvpn app, wifi/data/vpn access for things to work, ive never had to allow androids vpn ........is their a specific reason you grant android vpn access?does it not work otherwise?
I use the other openvpn app, by the way
I originally set it up on the tutorial in the link below, which mentions that the VPN Networking service needs to have full access. Is that service present on the Shield?

I just checked for you, and yes, its there, mind you, im using zulu's full rom, not sure about stock rom but as with all my devices, i havent needed to allow this for vpn to work.
Unless theres a specific reason to do so, try without on your current devices, i suspect, vpn networking may only apply if you use androids inbuilt vpn found in settings
Edit
By the way, i dont know how far you wanna take it, but afwall has tasker plugin support, which i use to apply an afwall profile, i named "secure", that denies everything when screen turns off......aswell as other things in the same vain
Edit
I do it a little differently then what youre link suggests, i only allow the bare minimum of apps, those that i actually need internet for.......if an app has internet capability, but i have no need for that side of it, its denied, i dont whitelist ALL apps for vpn as your link suggests
I also suspect that guide was written for privateinternets method of using vpn on android, so maybe vpn networking applies if using private internet, but as for my openvpn app, its not needed.......neither is "GPS"
Cheers. Everything set up and working perfectly in stock, no DNS leaks. A combination of AFWall+, VPN and Xprivacy has the device locked down pretty well.
And what a device, the speed is in another league compared to other similar boxes and worth the extra money. I'm glad I returned my newly purchased Minix Neo U1, this thing is so much faster and not as restricted as I was lead to believe. With a bit of work the Shield TV, even on stock, can do as much as any other Android based TV box, even one based on vanilla.

Yep, ive said it before and ill say it again, the shields an impressive piece of kit for sure
Xprivacy.........snap
We seem to have a very similar setup........believe me, if you wanna take it further at some point in the future.......tasker.........although, fair warning, theres a learning curve
Just some of the more basic things i automate with tasker with plugins like afwalls
When screen goes off, tasker......
Turns off wifi/3g
Turns of bluetooth
Afwall secure profile
Greenify all preselected apps
turn off "unknown sources" for extra measure, as tasker turns this off after it detects an apk install anyway
Turn of "debugging", incase i turn it on one day out of need and forget to turn off
Media volume set to 4 edit:this ones a bit out of place
Aplly afwall profiles depending on what app you happen to be using
Many possibilities with tasker, VERY usefull for many things
Non security related....kinda......... could potentially be used for such if modified
I have a small bluetooth media remote which has the numbers 1 to ten, with tasker and xposed additions module, i fooled around with it, pressing 1 connects the shields bluetooth to the bedroom speakers, long pressing 1 connects to the living room speakers..........i can imagine my self doing some neat stuff with these combination of apps and future accesories
Also, i use it to turn the shields light led to dim to let me now at a glance if the shields on or asleep, without having to change the channel
food for thought for those with similar setups
Edit
By the way, you mention dns leak, i assume you used a test site to check for the leak, any chance of a link? Incase its something very new
This ones the one i use,
https://ipleak.net/
Detects webrtc leaks on the specific browser you happen to be using at the time
Edit
For those interested
More on webrtc here
https://www.privateinternetaccess.c...ome-and-mozilla-firefox-while-using-private-i
If you use firefox or chrome, you can disable manually following this guide
https://www.purevpn.com/blog/disable-webrtc-in-chrome-and-firefox-to-protect-anonymity/
I think there are addons aswell
Edit
"and not as restricted as I was lead to believe"
Yep, i had the same thoughts, just my own assumption really, that android tv was completely different, internally, to "standard" android , pleasantly surprised, no incompatibilities so far............................good to know that stock is like that too :good:
Cheers, I'll read into all that.
One issue I'm finding at the moment is that, on a reboot, AFWall+ doesn't apply as default on the Shield and has to be done manually. This doesn't happen on my Note 3 running Lollipop. I'm sure there is a simple explanation, I'll look into it a bit more.
That website is the one I user to check leaks but there are numerous others too.

Im not sure i understand fully, afwall is not enabled? Or, afwall IS enabled, but your prefered profile is not "applied"?
On full android at least, afwall is enabled upon reboot i havent had any issues in that regard, (saw your other post) i dont need init.d script (usefull to have though, if/when possible)
Have you tried reverting all afwalls settings to default, to rule out that likely suspect
Another likely suspect, xprivacy, but that depends if you restrict everything like i do, including system apps , if so, have you checked xprivacies usage data for afwall and global apps?
Another suspect, could be stock firmware, but i have my doubts about that one
Assuming im understanding the issue correctly
Edit
I dont have "fix startup data leak" checked(as we dont have init.d), nor ipv6 support checked as your link described
Hey Axon 7 owners!
I am a member of the A.R.I.S.E. Sound Systems™ team, producing top-shelf mobile audio sound systems for Android devices. Information can be found at our thread here.
In less than two months of existence we've achieved incredible success, but that success is only possible because of many, many users aiding us in the various research areas we conduct to further improve our sound systems.
One of those areas of research is examining the getprop output of various devices, especially those that we utilize into our sound systems using various libraries and other content. This is where you come in:
Our current sound system in testing phase, Leviticus, is based around your very own Axon 7 Dolby Atmos, ported by our team member, @ahrion. To maximize this system's success and functionality, one simple contribution by one of you can have a significant impact - providing the output of "getprop" from your Axon 7. Before I provide the instructions on how to do just that, let me explain what we are requesting.
/system/build.prop contains many properties for our devices, that can have values or adjustable values that can enhance all sorts of mods we all like to enjoy here at XDA. As is the case with some things we encounter in life, what we see is only the "tip of the iceberg." Rooted or unrooted, if you type the following command in terminal:
Code:
[B]getprop[/B]
And then tap Enter on your phone's keyboard, your terminal app will create a list of every single property for your device, the vast majority of which are not included in your /system/build.prop. These "hidden" lines can be a gold mine for us that build sound systems using significant content from particular devices.
Rest assured, no sensitive personal data is ever stored in your complete list of build properties and you are easily able to examine the entire contents of the getprop output before copying the entire text, pasting it into a new .txt file, and attaching that new .txt file to a reply for us to utilize with Leviticus.
It will not take much of your time at all but it will certainly help us maximize your phone's content that is utilized into our latest sound system that we are just now building.
Thanks for reading our request and do not hesitate to ask me anything about this request or the usage of a fulfilled request. Below, is a link to a free terminal emulator available from the Google Play Store if you do not already have a terminal app and would like to help us maximize your phone's content in our Leviticus sound system. :good:

You da man!! ?
How has this gone? Is anyone using A.R.I.S.E.?
I used it on my 6P and it was phenomenal...is there significant gain to be experienced over stock on the Axon 7?
Thanks for any insights!
Here you are
Have fun and thank you for your great work
I used ARISE on my N6p as well, and LOVED it!! But I flashed the latest ARISE Deuteronomy 2.3.3 and had some very inconsistent results.
At first, I thought everything was great and it sounded AMAZING..... But then noticed, my music volume was different after I received a call or text and the EQ was reset to "unity" (bypassed) even though all the knobs appeared to be where I had them set. I'd have to disable V4a and re-enable it and it would then work, but only until I received my next text or phone call - Even my alarm and weather notifications would reset it.
I wanted to use this SOOOOO bad, because I don't like Dolby Atmos but even with all it's faults, it was more reliable than ARISE on my Axon 7. I haven't given up on the project yet, just Deuteronomy 2.3.3.... If I see an update has been released, I may give it another go if I'm feeling adventurous.
Thanks @tele_jas I appreciate the feedback. Looks like I'll be holding off for a bit.
Can ARISE access directly the DAC of Axon 7 and give more settings to improves the soundquality?
Thanks and good luck!
Since updating to Android Pie, apps need user confirmation when changing system settings like turning on bluetooth.
This defeats the purpose of automating processes with apps like tasker.
Had been looking for the solution on the web for a while and had not found any posts providing a solution.
I saw others with similar problems, but no solution that worked.
I found a solution and want to share it here.
The issue can be resolved in the following manner.
You need to give the specific app permission to write system settings.
Go to Settings>Apps>Apps.
Press the three dots at the top right.
Special Access>Write System Settings
Search for the app (e.g. Tasker)
Activate the setting for the app.
When the app activates Bluetooth, it will no longer ask for user confirmation.
Hope this helps people out there.

Hi in my case it doesn't work.
Honor 8 pro with Android 9.0.1.161, using an NFC tag that turns Bluetooth on or off, using the "NFC Task" app, whenever the system displays a screen with the text "NFC task wants to enable / disable bluetooth" and two choices "allow" or "refuse".
Steps dont work in my Huawei Y9 2019, with Android 9.01, any other suggestion?, write access settings are ON for all the apps that needs bluetooth, but bluetooth keeps asking the same, aprove or deny...
Same here, Mate 20 X. Had this already turned on.
Don't Work P30 Pro Android 10
Anyone was able to find a solution?
Note20 stock setup
model used: Note20 Ultra 5G SM-N986B and Note20 SM-N980F with low performance Exynos
another article in a flagshipfest ..->V30->Note9->6T->Mi9->S10->7T->Tab S6->Tab S4->8Pro->Note20Ultra, well, OnePlus doesn't need much setup. So easy to root, so easy to update, so little adware. But omg, this is Samsung, bloated as hell. Need to treat it like Xiaomi and write down some information. This time added links for everything, good for future reference.
We want
* better battery
* better privacy
* call recording
* disk encryption
* tweaks
Rooting
We want encryption. The era of TWRP encryption access is gone, but it's fine since we even have Magisk ROMs and literally all extras we need is provided in Magisk/Xposed modules.
i really hate reading too long guides, the steps are standard so let's add easy links into compact steps. The links come from here or official sources, so likely virus free (unlike here).
On yer new device in order to get root, lose warranty outside of EU, lose bit of Samsung functionality, wipe your data, abandon archaic Android 10, and get tons of benefits :
[PC] grab your Android 11 firmware in Frija as you do the next step
[mobile] unlock OEM in dev settings (need to be online for big brother to register your activation)
[PC<->mobile] when turned off and nowadays rather plugged it to your Windows PC with drivers installed or Linux PC with no drivers needed, hold Vol+ & Vol- til you see download screen, long press Vol+
[PC<->mobile] after you slap AP*tar file unpacked from step 1 on yer phone, patch it in Magisk 22+
[PC<->mobile] back in download mode, in ODIN 3.14, slap patched AP into AP slot, BL to BL, CP to CP, CSC to CSC and flash
[mobile] hold Power & Vol- to exit download mode
[mobile] install and run Magisk to finalize rooting and reboot again
[mobile] check Magisk status, enable USB debugging in dev settings like you always do, and continue the modulefest (below)
You can Magisk-hide few apps like Flow which moan about root. In case of update, we will perform similar steps with HOME_CSC added to CSC slot.
Modules
MagiskIn Magisk, we can get stuff from its UI but you can still click on some links FYI:
* Riru - Core, LSPosed or EdExposed -> brings XPosed to Android11. For either XPosed, you need the manager APK. LSPosed seems more stable, both now want to preselect affected apps which is highly undesirable for many plugins like XPrivacy, XPosedEdge, 3C, etc.. anything working with all apps
* Bluetooth Library Patcher -> helps us keep the bluetooth pairings
* (optional) Sui -> to run AppOpps as an alternative to XPrivacy
* (optional) Move certificates -> to install certificate for AdGuard
* (optional) F-Droid Privilleged Extension -> to make F-Droid updates easy
XPosedin one of the managers, we can get some plugins:
* Xposed Edge Pro -> a fantastic plugin which can do lot of popup menus, edge gestures, control hardware keys, run scripts on triggers.. unbelievable value.
* XPrivacy Lua -> must have. Disabling analytics, tracking, telephony, network, identification for all visible apps and all Google and Samsung apps with some exceptions.
* AppOps -> this is closed source alternative to XPrivacy, not bad actually. You need "Riru - Sui" Magisk extension first.
* Firefds kit -> main customization app for Samsungs. Enables the very important call recording, which is beutifully integrated into call history. Bye bye external apps.
* (optional) Xposed Dex -> some tweaks, not using it just FYI
* (optional) afWall -> not needed in Oneplus because there's a firewall, but Samsung doesn't have one. Alternatively you can use Adguard for this task and avoid some issues and too much duplicit apps in memory. This extension should be disabled, just present.
* (optional) Exi for Swiftkey -> you can make Swiftkey great again, GBoard is still the best, Samsung keyboard is very good, but too tall and leaves gap in fullscreen mode
AppsRoot apps you can get from the web, Google Play or F-Droid:
* 3C toolbox -> too helpful not to pay for the biggest package. It is a backup solution too. It's commercial.
* or TitaniumBackup -> a must since Android was born, however died infamously. Commercial.
* or OAndBackupX -> FYI new open source backup solution
* Adaway -> a must but with AdGuard? not so.. but i use both
* or AdGuard -> this is way more superior adblocker and firewall. Can filter more and can amend requests.. that's a game changer. You can have a efficient proxy when rooted thanks to "Move certificates" Magisk extension. Commercial, licences can be aquired very cheaply. With its paid VPN it can solve the problem of who's first "local VPN or VPN", but this is not needed in our root setup.
* Warden -> rips the guts of apps and removes tracking and logging
* YouTube Vanced -> YouTube without ads and sponsor blocks.. now you need manager APK to install it, might not alwasys work. And Google will be happy to overwrite it
* (optional) MiXplorer -> best file manager, replaces spyware ES File explorer you had before. Edits root files comfortably even when other editors don't. It's a great text editor or media player too! Commercial.
* (optional) FolderSync -> best sync tool. Commercial but works well as a free version.
* (optional) Root Essentials -> a multitool, have a look, it's not huge or useful as 3C
* F-Droid -> open source apps
Debloating
What the script does:
* choose 8 categories of app removal, in the beginning of the file
for each say 0=skip 1=remove 2=revert back
* use more switch to disable some questionable/helpful stuff
* disable up to 100 apps with possibility to revert back
* remove usage access for google (do manually)
* remove device admin backdoor "Find My Mobile", you won't recover stolen device this way lol, it doesn't work with Secure Startup! it's useful for Govt.
* revert DNS from Google if it's added at boot (minor, AdGuard can also change it btw)
Tested ok on March Android 11 firmware. Error messages will be there for non existing components, and it's ok. It's just a script.
Samsung has too much bloatware installed, and requires shocking permissions to run some basic services. We will further need to reclaim privacy. As for debloat list, i've cooked the list based on knowledge of each process, its current presence in the firmware, and what would fit the common usage. Also checked against 2 more knowledge bases. In this case, i'm leaving Samsung account, Galaxy shop, Bixby and few pen apps and we assume XPrivacy is sending these snitch services bogus personal details.
Download: (file attached)
Installation (omg! it's not an app!):
- run in su terminal once or add to any startup script (3C\Device mgr\Scheduler can assign scripts from (it needs to be /data now, and chmod +x it), or to magisk
Battery
Battery saving:
- the key is to disable background network activity:
enable Data Saver and make exceptions for individual apps (there's "Allow data usage with Data Saver" and also nice "Allow background activity" & "Optimize battery usage" choices)
enforce it with 3C (Device Mgr\Profiler) or Adguard (App Management), vendor make exception for adwares!
disable bluetooth, wifi, nearby scanning
choose your Power Saving mode, wakelocks like {AOD, fp icon, dt2wake, raise2wake} etc based on yer preference
- nearby scanning should be off, what a useless function of finding unknown devices - once you pair the known, what's the sense? or you keep connection 10 new bt devices each week? just a drain and endless beacon
- didn't test {LSpeed, Naptime, Servicely, FDE, LKT, Universal GMS Doze, Sysconfig patcher} here. Battery looks good even on Exynos, something between S10 (poor) and 1+ (excellent), but without permakilling of apps.
Other
- didn't change ugly boot warning yet
- for call recording make sure XPosed manager whitelists call components
- no boot keys needed like on S10 generation
- not using multidisabler as i'm on stock and i do want encryption on every device ever
- don't be afraid to use another device (mobile) as USB drive.. this way you can restore your apps directly without copying it first! also Smart Switch can be used from non-Samsung phones, but it is as weak as Google backup ever was - no data restore
v1.1 script
* removing Bixby main app by default, leaving useful Bixby Vision or routines
* debloat PrivateShare, privacy unfriendly "private" share
* debloat Blockchain app, won't work with root and who'd store crypto with a corporation really
* debloat more of SmartThings
* debloat EpdgTestapp, while leaving servicemodetest optional (sec.phone, sec.bcservice) -> trigger by *#0011#*
* debloat Digital Wellbeing but optional yet
v1.2 script
* new bonus: set display 48/60/96/120Hz mode for Ultra model
Let's see if 96 is good for battery. BTW You can monitor the fps using the native GPUWatch app.
This is cool but 99.9% of the folks are NOT going to root their devices.
So i've bought the Note20 base model and it works there too. Same procedure with everything.

it should be fine, the other sources of information also typically include your model, so i'm assuming it's same +- small vendor apps difference.
you even have the freedom version (non-US Snapdragon), and i wanted your hard-to-get model, thanksgod Exynos battery @ 96Hz is good for 2 days.
as i'm finding out after many flagships, i simply get battery life per battery size no matter what is the manufacturer, after rooting, and following steps in Battery section. Phone after phone, same setup and data.

well the steps in the Battery section of the guide. mostly make sure low priority apps are included in Data Saver or have no background activity allowed. On Samsung you also have 2 more sleep categories to throw apps into. All games have to be in the deep sleep. Aliexpress, Facebook is a typical example of agressive app to block in background. Google app can be uninstalled for the same reason, you can use Google Go or Bing instead. Or Finder which is the best Samsung app. With further debloating, adblocking there's less and less connections to cause wakelocks, and the current connections make a very short list of important apps like Signal, GMS, home assistant app.. very short. Depends on your taste, some people love to be annoyed by popups,, ads, useless notifications and then charge twice a day
@doggydog2,
Does your Mod automatically select what to debloat when flashed via Magisk, or does it give options of what to debloat/ leave alone?
Thank you very much for the above substantial set-up guide.
(BTW, coming from 7T/ 7T Pro, I'm not sure if you have come across arter97 kernel? - it took battery-life to paranormal levels. If there was something similar available for the N20 serires...)

This is just a root script where you select yes or no for some categories. The 100 items are carefully thought out, but you can modify it. I set it to run at boot, to make sure it debloats atter ROM updates. Both Oneplus and Samsung will reintroduce bloatware each time, so it saves a lot of time later, while being little bit difficult to set up first (well, it's 1 minute for me).
i came from 7T and 8Pro battery was so good i didn't play with kernels. Now I have 2days every time on Note20 so there's nothing to improve. My expectation is to survive night when charge is skipped. I really hate phones which won't wake you up next day or die in case of emergency (long night out)!
Thanks.
I just tried AdGuard, Warden, MiXplorer & 3c Tools.
One of these or there settings really messed up my device - Phone become very laggy & freezing, SystemUI crashes repeatedly, couldn't access launcher, & no connection to data/ networks/ reception! I'm not sure what went wrong.
Luckily, via TWRP I managed uninstall all things Magisk & started again. I've uninstalled the above apps besides MiXplorer. Will see how it goes for now....
Also, any idea how I change the Screen Lock & Unlock sounds as well UI sounds when connecting/ disconnecting charger?
I tried via SystemUI tuner App, as well manually replacing the relevant UI sound files via Root/ MiXplorer file explorers.
AdGuard, Warden, MiXplorer & 3c Tools - lovely tools to start with. No problems with them! 3C toolbox is what I use to launch the script at boot. Incredible package which replaces also dead TitaniumBackup. MiXplorer is the best file manager, replacing the traditional ES file manager malware. AdGuard is the only relevant adblocker (thou you need to fight to get the automatic proxy via system certificates). I used Warden on every recent phone and no problem, but the Nuke operations hangs recently. But still no consequence.
3C toolbox is also the tool that will find the bottleneck in your case. You can check the logs and usually see who is throwing errors around. Magisk and Xposed usually don't show anything meaningful in logs. Usual suspect of lags is Xposed.
No idea about lock sounds, i'd like a slightly different thing: be aware of phone charging. Such simple expectation. Every device on the planet notifies about charging by notification light, except the "smart" phones. No way to find out phone is being charged except very tiny AOD icon. LED cover also shows the charging status for 2 seconds and that's it. I only remember Xperia and Z Flip permanently showing the charging status. I can't wait to replace Note20* with ZFlip 3 (which will come as a replacement of Note21), and stop caring about display protection
Interesting read. I'm not interested in rooting but am interested in debloating/saving battery of the Note 20. How could you remove the Google app while not crippling the device entirely from a Google perspective? i.e. I still use Waze, Google Maps, Gmail. I'd love a good ad blocker that doesn't require the VPN item as well if that's possible without rooting.
how do you install Note20_cleanup.sh.zip ? I still don't understand, I have root and everything

it's a script, you unpack it and run .sh like in linux. I use 3C Toolbox to choose the file in U (Device Manager\Scheduler\<profile>\Start script). I and run it at each boot. Booting isn't frequent, meanwhile updates come (reinstalling adware), and this will keep the phone clean all the time. You can use any shell like Termux, ConnectBot, all will ask Magisk for permission when they run root commands (su).
Just want to say thank you I have used your script on my tab S7+
