Issues with AndGuard on Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3)
It has come to our attention that upgrading to Gingerbread (2.3.3) has broken AndGuard for some users.
We believe this to be a result of Busybox either not being installed or installed in a non-standard location on some stock Gingerbread ROMs.
To fix, simply install and run Busybox by Stericson off the Android Market (https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox), this free app will ensure that you have the latest version of busybox properly installed on your system.
If you have any further questions, feel free to email us at: soapboxapps@gmail.com

Andguard and AndguardPro Hosts file Blocklists UPDATED!
These new Blocklists should dramatically improve Ad-Blocking performance.
Head over to the market and grab your update now... remember to re-apply your desired level of protection if you are upgrading.
Of course, no ad-blocking method is 100% effective, so try not to expect the impossible :)

Help Documentation For The Masqed Crusader
The Masqed Crusader is a Network Optimization Tool for Root Users Only.
What Does The Masqed Crusader Do?
* Improves overall network speed on both WiFi and Mobile data (2g/3g etc..) connections by locally caching nameserver data and forcing the use of Google's fast DNS servers.
* Increases privacy by avoiding the use of your wireless carrier's DNS servers. When paired with end-to-end encryption (i.e. using https when possible, running TOR etc...) this can diminish your carrier's ability to spy on you while using mobile internet.
* In addition, it provides effective ad-blocking functionality by redirecting ad-server requests.
Technical Stuff.
Masqed Crusader uses dnsmasq, which acts as a middle man, between your device and the DNS server. Dnsmasq caches recent DNS lookups locally and uses hashing to quickly search that cache. The Masqed Crusader runs dnsmasq with a customized configuration file that is optimized for use with mobile devices, and constantly enforces its use by ensuring that the device looks to itself (127.0.0.1) for all DNS lookups.
* Some Wireless Tethering Apps also use dnsmasq to work, and therefore will not function when Masqed Crusader is ONLINE... To use wireless tethering, simply put Masqed Crusader OFFLINE.
If you experience an unusual loss of internet connectivity, try turning Masqed Crusader off and on again, if this does not work, then toggle the device in and out of Airplane Mode.
Explanation of Permissions
Masqed Crusader requests SuperUser Permissions three times when it is first run, one request is for the app itself to be allowed, the other two are for shell scripts that are utilized to accomplish the tasks of both starting dnsmasq and configuring the device to use it.
In addition to SU Permissions, Masqed Crusader also asks for: Storage (writing config files to the SD card), Read Phone State (to re-apply DNS settings when the phone changes networks) and Start at Boot (to reset the status message after a reboot)
***Please remember that network speeds vary greatly and are dependent on a number of factors.***
Thanks for using The Masqed Crusader!

New App: Optimus Root Memory Optimizer
Market Description:
Optimus is a Memory Optimizer for ROOT users only.
Optimus improves system performance and battery life by adjusting Android's internal memory settings.
How does it work?
Android automatically kills background processes when system memory falls below a certain threshold. Optimus changes those memory settings, causing Android to free up memory more aggresively, thereby increasing system performance and battery life.
Optimus has three different settings: Moderate, Balanced and Extreme.
Optimus is a SAFER alternative to traditional Task Killers, which are known to cause damage to the Android operating system.
