very nice, thanks for that :)
will you overwork and improve it for the correct translations and no more fcs?


anybody found the setting to have only 5 oder 10 seconds countdown when an app tries to get some infos?

I Quickly translated Latest Version 2.0 to English for people who can't wait for market update. After playing around with the new version, the product looks cool ( it has lot of permissions, but each justifies the features it has)

Please note, it crashes on some functionalities, but the main functionality is working fine and it's not 100% perfect translation. Atleast you can understand instead of Chinese chars.

Too bad it gave me continues reboots. I was lucky to deinstall it between reboot otherwise I would be in trouble. But thanks for the effort.

OK...using Notepad++, CAREFULLY change the Chinese parts to English.
Either way, let me know if you want to help ASAP...so we don't waste each others efforts.

I just installed the english version, but it seems like Lbe 2 doesn't "see" all permissions an app requests and therefore isn't able to block all of them.

Example:
Lbe1 lists a lot more permissions for Google maps than Lbe2 does. Can anybody comment on that?

LBE in English!

Hello guys!

I further worked on the translation of v2.0.1298.
I think I've reached a pretty neat result.
I don't see any major issue with the translations now.

There are still some app glitches due to (I think) the fact that we are missing some libs to properly decompile/recompile.

Glitches:
* the bottom line of the main screen should not show the "selection buttons" on the left of the umbrella and on the left of the phones icon
* when you click the top left quadrant and then click the center bottom-menu button, you get a FC. You can still manage internet access through settings/App management/Rights
* when you try to modify a right permission, you click on the app and/or permission log and then a menu should appear with "Allow" "Ask" "Reject". However, in my version just 3 buttons appear without icon nor text. But it is still working

These are not major glitches, everything is still working OK.

Also, I modified the splash screen image:
* App name in English
* Proper encoding colors to prevent color bands on the HD2

Please report any further issue if any.

Cheers!

PS: I sent an e-mail to LBE team with all my source files. I hope this can help them release the English version faster than the initially planned "end of the month".

Nicely done, looki. The first version was understandable - your translation is nice!

This Versions finds and is able to restrict more permissions, yet not all of them like Lbe 1.x

Where did you find the "end of the month" statement?

Ah, ok... well this was yesterday.

Yesterday I wrote an e-mail to LBE team, asking if/when they plan to release an English version. Their answer was:
LBE Privacy Guard 2.0 targets for Chinese market only, we will release a English version later (likely to be at the end of this month)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Then I decided to work on the translation by myself.

Today, I sent them my source files, and they also answered immediately:
Hello, we plan to make a official 2.0 version for ENG/Internal users，so just wait :)
Thank you for your support. We are very glad to have such lovely fans as you!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

So LBE team is very reactive to any e-mail!
I think they will provide a great support - so as they said - wait and see! :)

Meanwhile, I will use my version ;)

Congratulations, you are someone that has contributed to others in a big way, both in doing the work, and sharing it with the original developer to get them motivated to build a feature-complete version for we English-speakers. GOOD JOB!!!

++Thanks

Awesome Looki! Thanks for a great job translating the app! I stopped update MIUI since lbe1 stopped working at version 1.9.23.. Now I can update to the latest MIUI. One bug (other than those you listed) I found: main UI FCs when the phone is connected to the PC and is in USB Storage mode. Pretty sure this is the app's bug that LBE needs to address.

I've been observing LBE V2.0 for sometime, They have changed the firewall settings similar to DroidWall i.e, changes you do in LBE will overwrite iptables configurations. So can not prevent LBE from connecting to internet.

This is just an information and not to criticize LBE.

    LBE Privacy Guard v2 is available, check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18948472#post18948472 for more information.

    ----------

    First, my apologize for poor engish

    Please allow me to introduce LBE Privacy Guard, a small app wrote by myself. This app enhances Android permission system and protects your privacy.

    LBE Privacy Guard works just like Windows UAC, it intercept vital actions (like send SMS, call phones) and requests to access sensitive data(SMS conversation, contacts, phone location, IMEI, IMSI, etc) from apps, then prompt for your confirmation. Unless explicit permit, such actions and request will be rejected.

    LBE Privacy Guard also has a low-level firewall, supports per-app control like droidwall, but not require netfilter/iptables so it works on pre-froyo devices and faster than droidwall because it doesn't filter packets.

    So why I wrote this app? Because android permission system sucks, it's very hard for average user to understand the meaning of each permission, there is also no way to track the behavior of installed app and no way to control the permission of installed app(except uninstallation).

    I hope my app could bring dynamic permission control and real-time track for installed apps. So you can figure out which app is stealing your privacy and block it before your privacy stolen.

    Requirements
    **NEEDS ROOT**
    Works on Android 2.0 and above.
    Tested on various devices and firmwares, but not tested on Android 3.0 and 3.1 devices.

    Current Features
    1. Block unwanted send SMS / call phone operation
    2. Block unwanted access to phone location, contacts, SMS/MMS conversation database, IMEI/IMSI/ICCID/phone number.
    3. Integrated low-level firewall, no netfilter/iptables required, works on pre-froyo devices

    Market Link

    For any questions, feel free to send mail to lbe@lbesec.com, any comments are welcomed.

    Application checks out, it doesn't do anything nefarious. I originally checked out when it was first launched into the market - did a second pass when we got an email from short/y just to be safe.

    As mmarz points out above, there are some outbound links which it does contact;

    http://www.lbesec.com/
    Authors web site, this is just test displayed the about page

    http://www.lbesec.com/report/error_report.php
    Url used for sending error reports back, disable this by unchecking "Send error report"

    http://www.lbesec.com/report/behavior.php
    Url used for sending event data back, the data to this url is that action you took (blocked/not blocked) the application/packagename and the permission which was seen. This is disabled when you uncheck "Send error report" in the configuration

    http://www.lbesec.com/lbesec.ini
    This is the auto-update url, disable accessing this by unchecking "auto update" in the configuration

    http://weibo.com/lbesec
    Chinese social networking site, it's just a link displayed in the about page

    http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.lbe.security - This is in the AndroidManifest, it's not actually a url ;)

    http://analytics.localytics.com/api/datapoints/bulk
    Analytics service used by this application, this is similar to flurry and other services. Get's a unique anonymous id to track you by, and sends some device information off to the server. This helps the devs track usage/errors/etc.

    Granted, this is a root application - which you are allowing constant access to run on your device. Still use this at your own risk! A note to someone previously in this thread said "just use Permission Denied". Don't expect this to help much if an application truely wants to be malicious and you've given it root access. If you use Permission Denied, it blocks the user id of the application from having this permission anymore, if your giving an application access to root (uid=0) then it isn't hindered by the normal security mechanisms which Permission Denied relies on.
