Android Intents

• https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/23687/finding-out-the-intents-an-app-uses-internally

You can use adb to check what intents an app uses. The steps to do this are:

Enable developer options
Under developer options turn on adb debugging
Connect phone to computer
Get adb logs and grep out intents: adb logcat | fgrep -i intent
Trigger the intent on your phone
Inspect logs to find the details of the intent

disable IPV6

• https://github.com/ukanth/afwall/wiki/CustomScripts#important-notes-about-ipv4-and-ipv6-differences

If you do not need IPv6 or your provider does not support it (native) you can just disable it via net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 in your build.prop or better in your sysctl.conf file which will be applied right after the boot.
