• Filters

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

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.

          CallMeACynic And yes, I did end up getting my phone tagged

          Good for you!

          CallMeACynic Second of all, while I'm sure the people from apps4flip have noble intentions

          Okay, I'm still not sure what you want specifically from [Login to see the link]

          CallMeACynic I don't think that anybody should take their own initiative in these areas, without consulting rabbonim.

          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.

                              Even chatgpt agrees: [Login to see the link]

                                  Biden2020prez I am not arguing with you regarding the deterrent aspect, but it is terribly misleading to call it a filter if factory reset is not blocked. I am not saying your filter is wrong but you really need to be clear in the description what it does and doesn't do.
