Firewalls?!!!

---

Hi peeps,

Honeymoon over with my new phone, realising some of the apps I use to take for granted on Android HD2, can't be used on Sensation.

Most important for me Droidwall.

Anyone know which firewalls, work and can run on a non rooted handset?

Side query, what's best way of removing ads? Never realised there was ads in apps. As it was already fixed in the custom roms. I presume u need a rooted phone, not the end of the world. handset is a joy to use.

i all ready have a flashable add-on but it wont work till we get custom recovery and to replace the file your self you still need root becuase its in the system folder

Why do you use Droidwall if I may ask?

I have always seen it referred to as a placebo if anything.

Now people are seeing why I'm not buying the Sensation till it's cracked and rooted.

Android converts via the HD2 have all been using a rooted form of Android and never knew what life was like in the "locked down" world. I'm an Android convert via the HD2 myself, and knew complaints of this sort would be coming.

DroidWall is a great means to keep apps from eating data without knowing. Also a good means to keep Android from phoning home if that is of any concern to a user.

Mdeejays rom ate all my data allowance in standby on my HD2. Droidwall stopped this happening, blocking everything except the apps you want to use data.

Although changing to Boyppc rom, the data usage wasnt half as much. Hmm?

APNDroid with the widget on your home screen stops 3G data connection.

Adfree for removing ads but its for rooted only.

I agree. But it was upgrade time and having a 1080p camcorder enticed me to buy. Once you get over it being locked down, for now, it really is a joy to use. Every little niggle the HD2 had is gone. But yeah, rom wise, Boyppc rom makes HD2 a perfectly capable handset.

Nope, I won't be getting over it. I won't be buying the Sensation till it's unlocked.

My HD2 with the latest NexusHD2-Gingerbread has zero issues, none.

So no way I'm taking a step backward to lockdown, never.

I use several apps that require root. And I'm also not buying something I can't keep custom ROMs on.

Enjoy yours, but I'll pass if it's not unlocked.

These devices now cost way too much to compromise.
