Is there a way to block apps from accessing internet in Lollipop?

I did some research on internet and most of the articles related to this topic are either outdated or suggests using some kind of another app.

I want to block internet access to apps I've installed without installing any other app or firewall. I was wondering whether there are any inbuilt settings in Lollipop which has this feature?

Basically I am worried that apps like Clean Master, etc. would be snooping around my msgs, contacts lists, pics and sending them to their servers.

Why are there so many duplicates on my phone after using Link2SD

I have noticed that the internal storage of my tablet is filling up even though I have tried to link as many of the apps as possible to the SD card using Link2sd. I did a quick search for duplicates using Search Duplicate File(Super). What I found was that 1117 files where duplicated in both the /mnt/internal_sd/ and /mnt/external_sd directories. Any idea why this has happened, and how I can free up this space?

I have searched both paths and none of them are symbolic links to the other. These are actual duplicates of the files.

I got a knock off dot view case for Christmas and now there is purple sticky stuff coming out from the inside front cover right underneath the magnet.

Anyone know what that is?

Is there a way to have extended battery WITH wireless charge?

Basically I'm aware that there are many Samsung Galaxy S5 extended batteries, and a couple ways to get it to charge wirelessly&retain NFC, but it's usually one or the other.

There is a MUGEN case with 5900 mah that is supposed to charge wirelessly, but it looks cheap and it has a lot of negative reviews, mostly due to poor case quality.

I'd rather buy one of the receivers, like S5 SlimPWRcard, but they also have a lot of negative reviews. Also, I don't know if it will work with one of the extended batteries.

I'm looking for a 3000-5000 mah battery that doesn't look ridiculous and has mostly positive feedback (hyperion maybe) and a way to make it charge wirelessly as I hate flapping the charging port cover. Probably a decent qi receiver that doesn't cause a bulge on the back.

Cheers.

got an error 504, things got worse from there. way worse.

yesterday my phone worked just fine, this morning the same.

about an hour ago I got a error 504 when it tried to updated some apps. I googled the error and followed the instructions (clear the cache on both the play store and framework then reboot).

reboot took over 30 minutes (10 to get to the pin for un-encrypt, then another 20 to get normal screen, normal time is 5 at most) but went to "optimizing apps" which ran slow as hell but counted all 140 (system+data) apps, but after getting back in past my lock screen, and checking my apps list, about 12 system apps are now being reported as 0.00b, one of which was calculater which works just fine.

the whole system is running slow as hell and here is something odd, before this mess I had 1.25 GB free, now it says that I have 3.05 GB free.

yes, its rooted (wugfresh) but stock lollipop, supersu + busybox + xposed.

and again, all this happened about an hour ago and my phone was working just fine before.

what the hell happened? and how do i fix this?

Poll:Is there demand for a central thread with links to all the VS985 KDZs (and TOT)?

I'm sincerely wondering if there are enough users who would want a central (stickied) thread created in General merely to give links to all the VS985 KDZs, and might as well include the 10B TOT as well.

Thanks for your time.
