Blocker ( com.merxury.blocker )

Blocker is an open source Android App to block or disable app components (receiver, service, activity and content provider).

It works with PM (Package Manager) mode or IntentFirewall mode, it does support import/export Blocker rules, compatible with MyAndroidTools rules importing (or convert to IFW rules to import). PM mode was used by default.

Both IFW and PM mode require root to work, Blocker also provide Shizuku mode which require Shizuku Manager and adb to setup which does not require root.

Signature Spoofing patching for Android Q

- All the credit to Darknecromonger for discovering this method -

Basically some tools (namely DexPatcher) have been updated that now allow us to patch Android Q for sigspoofing without using shady stuff like SmaliPatcher.

Setialpha knows about it already and it will probably be in the next ND patcher release.

Meanwhile, here's a handy little shell noscript to be run from a PC. It'll pull, patch and push a sigspoof patched services.jar by itself.

Prerequisites:
- A deodexed ROM
- A PC with java and adb installed

Instructions:
- Connect the device to your PC with a cable and authorise ADB
- Run patcher.sh

[Tested on Debian, but should be distro agnostic]

Troubleshooting:
- ADB can't access USB for your user? Search online how to fix it. Or you can run with sudo, but that's just bad practice

MinMicroG v2.7-beta3-milkandbootloops

28 april, 2020

By MOVZX and FatherJony and FriendlyNeighborhoodShane

Probably the last release with custom APKs made for my own satisfaction until Marvin revives microG to its former glory. With all the recent fixes made while sitting at home (thanks COVID-19!)

Why you would bother flashing this:
♦ Formally put the noscripts under GPLv3
♦ Added an install.md file as a handy reference manual and guide
♦ Update AuroraSuite, Play store
♦ Remove DroidGuard for obvious reasons (thanks Googs!)
♦ Replace abandoned FDroid GSM NLP backend with releases from @ploink
♦ Removed unmaintained radiocell backend that was crashing on many phones
♦ Now uses awk from MBB if you have Magisk installed
♦ Fix the (yet inexplicable) rare simple_mount bug that expanded faster than the universe (thanks advanced physics!)

Still the same selfbuilt GMSCore and UNLP for background location fix
(sauce at github.com/nogoolag)

For y'all younglings that don't know what MinMicroG is, check readme.md inside

Whoogle Search - A self-hosted, ad-free/AMP-free/tracking-free, privacy respecting alternative to Google Search

Get Google search results, but without any ads, javanoscript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file. Quick and simple to implement as a primary search engine replacement on both desktop and mobile.


Hi everyone. I've been working on a project lately that allows super easy set up of a self-hosted Google search proxy, but with built in privacy enhancements and protections against tracking and data collection.

The project is open source and available with a lot of different options for setting up your own instance (for free): https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search

Since the app is meant to only ever be self-hosted, I intentionally built the tool to be as easy to deploy as possible for individuals of any background. It has deployment options ranging from a single-click deploy, to pip/pipx installs or temporary sandboxed runs, to manual setup with Docker or whatever you want. It's primarily meant to be useful for anyone who is (rightfully) skeptical of Google's privacy practices, but wants to continue to have access to Google search results and/or result formatting.

Here's a quick TL;DR of some current features:

* No ads or sponsored content
* No javanoscript
* No cookies
* No tracking/linking of your personal IP address
* No AMP links
* No URL tracking tags (i.e. utm=%s)
* No referrer header
* POST request search queries (when possible)
* View images at full res without site redirect (currently mobile only)
* Dark mode
* Randomly generated User Agent
* Easy to install/deploy
* Optional location-based searching (i.e. results near <city>)
* Optional NoJS mode to disable all Javanoscript on result pages

Happy to answer any questions if anyone has any. Hope you all enjoy!

Disable Tracking Services
By steveglowpunk

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/noscript-disable-tracking-services-t4099469

This is a set of noscripts that disables privacy invasive tracking components in all user installed apps (service/broadcast receiver/activity/content provider).
Root permission is required to run the noscripts.

How it works:
UpdateExodus.sh downloads tracker names from Exodus Privacy ( https://etip.exodus-privacy.eu.org)

DisableTracking.sh will dump a list of components of all installed apps, compare it against the list of trackers name, and disable those components (using the 'pm disable' command) if they match.

Download: Goolag Drive link (https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1_G6-M8ToF0PsjY0HIrZIAVrTHT6nbptE?usp=drive_open) or attached below

Check instructions.txt for details on how to use the noscripts.
The latest version is 1.5.
You are recommended to backup your apps before running the noscripts.

I hope you will find this useful

The noscript was originally based on #disablefuckservices here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/noscript-disable-fk-services-trackers-apps-t4074427

Demo:

Prerequisites:
Root access is required.
You also need these extra binaries installed in a directory of $PATH (such as /sbin):
-aapt
-jq
You can download these binaries from the Termux app ( https://f-droid.org/app/com.termux
Or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux )
To download those binaries, run these commands in Termux:

pkg install aapt
pkg install jq

Copy them from /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin to a directory of $PATH
Then give them execution permission, e.g.: chmod +x /sbin/aapt

To see what directories are in $PATH, run this command: echo $PATH

Note: if you've placed the binaries in /sbin, or you have installed Magisk,
the binaries will be deleted every reboot. You'll have to copy them again.

Note: the aapt and jq in the Google Drive folder was downloaded on a phone running aarch64 architecture and may be incompatible with your phone.
If that's the case, follow the above instrcutions to download the version that works on your phone.

------------------------------------------------------------

Usage:
-All noscripts and txt files must be in the same directory as DisableTrackers.sh

You need a terminal emulator to run these noscripts.
Personally I use "Terminal Emulator for Android" ( https://f-droid.org/app/com.termoneplus
Or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm )
This terminal emulator lets you add launcher shortcuts. Quite convenient in my opinion.
Termux may also work, but I haven't tested it.

For first time usage, run UpdateExodus.sh first.
i.e. run this command: su -c sh /path/to/noscript/UpdateExodus.sh
If the noscript runs successfully, a MergedTrackers.txt will be created.
Then you can run DisableTrackers.sh AS SU to start disabling trackers. (root permission is required)
i.e. run this command: su -c sh /path/to/noscript/DisableTrackers.sh

------------------------------------------------------------

Explanations:
UpdateExodus.sh will download a tracker list from Exodus Privacy, and merge it with CustomTrackers.txt (if it exists)
You can add your own trackers to CustomTrackers.txt. You may also write comments in this format: #(comment here)
MergeExodus.sh does the merging of exodustrackers_extracted.txt and CustomTrackers.txt.

DisableTracking.sh will dump a list of components (service/broadcast receiver/activity/content provider) of all installed apps,
compare it against the list of trackers in MergedTrackers.txt, and disable those components if they match.
It will save a list of already processed apps to a database file in the noscript's directory,
so they will not be processed twice when you run the noscript again (like maybe you've installed a new app and you want to disable its trackers by running the noscript).

Apps with trackers will be logged to AppsWithTrackers.txt.
exodustrackers.json is the raw list downloaded from Exodus Privacy.
exodustrackers_extracted.txt contains the actual tracker names from the json.
MergedTrackers.txt contains the merged results of exodustrackers_extracted.txt and CustomTrackers.txt.
ProcessedApps.db contains a list of already processed apps. They will be skipped in the next run of DisableTrackers.sh.

------------------------------------------------------------

Enjoy!

Scripts written by steveglowplunk
Based on the noscript here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/noscript-disable-fk-services-trackers-apps-t4074427

------------------------------------------------------------

Known issues:
-You can't process system apps yet. I will fix this when I have time.

Update log:
Version 1.1:
-Added functionality of downloading tracker names from Exodus Privacy

Version 1.2:
-Skip disabling tracking services that have already been disabled
-Fixed some typos and improved noscripts' logic

Version 1.3:
-Fixed problems with directories containing spaces in the name.
-Small improvements to the noscript's logic.

Version 1.4:
-Small optmisations in DisableTracking.sh for (insignificant) performance improvements

Version 1.5:
-DisableTracking.sh now uses a database to store processed app names and versions.
This means if an app was updated, it will check for trackers in the updated app again.
-If there was a deleted app, DisableTracking.sh will now delete its record from ProcessedApps.db automatically. No more manual deletion.
-Note: if you've used version 1.4 or below and don't want the noscript to process all apps again, run CreateAppDB.sh.
It will create a ProcessedApps.db with records of all currently installed apps.
