so I finally got the motivation to install lineage os to my phone after thinking about it like year. and now that I finally modified this phone I started thinking about ricing this phone a bit. I’m looking for a launcher that isn’t too minimalistic and with a decent amount of customization. kinda like kde bit you know… stable. any suggestions?
I must block all network access to Nova.
I would to this with any launcher, it doesn’t need internet access
Yeah, I use AFWall+ and restrict granularly beyond just launcher.
I do the same with the built-in GrapheneOS network permission toggle
If I had AdAway (root mode, not VPN mode) I would switch back to GrapheneOS
I just use NextDNS with Android’s Private DNS feature for DNS filtering, works pretty well.
I’m afraid that won’t quite work for me due to needing my VPN on, and set for split tunneling.
Private DNS (DoT) shouldn’t interfere with your VPN. It actually overrides the default DNS resolver set by the system or a VPN app.
I can use private DNS but I need the DNS records in my personally hosted VPN to access my other self hosted solutions. So my use case is niche.
Currently I run a rooted phone AdAway Wireguard AFWall+
I need apps split tunnel between my VPN and outside of it. Apps running through VPN need to have my DNS Where the other apps I still want ad-blocking
