• Filters

  • I made a very easy DIY filter for dummies (with LG phones)

Techgen First of all I had a Schok, which you remove stuff with ADB and then use Lock Control (which was built in) to disable reset and Developer Settings. And yes, I did end up getting my phone tagged (my 8th Schok) because I wanted to stay as far away from an untgged phone as possible.
Second of all, while I'm sure the people from apps4flip have noble intentions and none of them are malicious, I don't think that anybody should take their own initiative in these areas, without consulting rabbonim. And I have a feeling I know what the rabbonim would say.
But I'll accept the flak for not having a tagged phone, because I deserve it. I'm maskim I was wrong for doing it, so I have no right to get defensive.

      chaimzalman Yes, its a major problem how parents don't chap. You can just show them it doesn't have a browser, and they think its tagged.
      I don't think most parents or rebbeim realize the difference between a kosher phone and a not kosher phone. Its a shtickel abstract for people that aren't in the parsha.

          Parents, bochurim, and yungerleit be warned: A filter is a must for using these 4G phones. A person owning one of these phones without a filter is placing himself/herself in a really really bad situation. For this same reason, we provide kosher apps and not telegram, whatsapp, chrome, youtube, etc. As for which filters work with these apps, and which filter is better or worse, we do not take a position, as things are constantly changing. Please consult with your local TAG office, GEDER office, Livigent, etc., to find out what your options are.

            chaimzalman But most fathers are not so tech savvy so they dont know the difference when their kid says they removed the browser and show him a phone thats adb removed.

            That's unfortunate. Thats why I've always said, no filter is enough without informed and vigilant parents.

              Like [Login to see the link] said, who said they didn't consult their Rabbeim?

                        Trying to use your app tp remove the browser from my LG phone, it doesnt work for me.

                        I get the following, but it doesnt remove anything. The debugging is set to 'on' and the device is attached to my computer with 'USB File' transfer selected.

                        'Type the number of what you want to remove, and press enter. If you don't want to remove any more apps, type [D]: 1

                        Please Confirm!

                        Are you sure you want to uninstall the browser [Y/N]: Y
                        adb.exe: no devices/emulators found

                        DONE
                        Press any key to continue . . .'

                        Can you help me?

                          malki2003 Yes, select charging (not file transfer). And make sure you enabled USB Debugging inside developer options

                              Biden2020prez So how are you calling this a filter? It is misleading...I think you should add in the header "Does Not Block Factory Reset"

                                  chaimzalman I think you asked this already [Login to see the link] 🙂 .

                                  Let me tell you like this: Tag removed my filter without me needing to lose all my data. So you are free to remove this and lose all your data. For myself and many others, that is a big deterrent.

                                  It still "filters" the bad apps off your phone.

                                  If you can't control your Taivah to reset the phone and/or resetting is not inconvenient for you, then feel free to get a filter elsewhere, I am not stopping you.
