[Q] Permission Control Options? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any options for managing permission controls yet on the Nexus 5?
I'm aware that Xposed (and therefore Xprivacy) is not yet supported in 4.4.
Are there any other options available?
Thanks.

Ringtone/Notification volume separator?

A feature of CM I always like was the ability to control ringtone and notification volumes independently. This is not possible with the N5/4.4.
There are some apps our there that claim to give you power over volumes, but I feel like these apps don't achieve my goal if the ability to separate the two isn't a stock function.
Does anyone know of a way to make this work or a framework that would allow for this?
Many thanks.
there is an xposed module (Ringer & Notification Volume Unlink) that does this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416768
but xposed framework does not support android 4.4 yet, so u have to wait..

Volume Butler works for me.

best app i've seen so far for this is ultimate sound control (pro and lite versions available): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steinapps.ultimatesoundcontrol
it does require root, and has some pretty powerful functions. it was also featured in the portal a few weeks ago: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...und-control-for-your-device-xda-developer-tv/
check it out when you get a chance.
I've been trying out Sound Profile which lets you separate volume but a whole lot more. It's a full sound/toggle profile app and appears to be working very well so far. What's really cool is that you can change sounds per profile, as well as toggles like BT, WiFi, GPS, etc.
It looks like Volume Butler as also suggested is extremely similar. I will give that one a whirl too.
It doesn't let you modify all of the system level type sounds like Ultimate Sound Control (if that's something you desire).
looks like xposed is finally 4.4, trying to figure out how to do this with xposed.
If you use xposed I know Gravitybox has this incorporated.

two thumbs up for Volume Butler
as a former galaxy family user (S2, S3 and S4) the first thing I've missed on LG Nexus5 was a manner to control the volume independently (ringtone, notifications, media). After a quick search on google I got in this thread.
My handset just arrived about three days ago and to be extremely honest I'm wondering if should I root it right now or in the near future. While I did not come to a decision I've decide to give Volume Butler a try.
Just install a free version from Play Store and it works exactly how it promises, it is possible to control ringer, notification, media, alarm, in-call and speakerphone as individual items and you can create profiles based on a schedule to manage this items. I did't play with this app enough (got no time), but it's seems to be a great try for anyone who looks for this functionality.
Thanks for share!

yep, xposd+GB give rooted stock rom wings

If you want to run ART (which xposed obviously doesn't support), I know Cataclysm ROM has a toggle to separate the ringer/notification volume settings.
I agree, Cataclysm ROM has that feature to seperate, based on stock with many added features, and still can run ART versus Xposed. Depends on what you want to do with features or if you'd like AOSP.
[NO root required] Profiles Plus app is working fine. It is free and works with lollipop. It is working like a charm for my Xperia Z2 and Nexus 5 to successfully separate the ringer and notification volumes.

There's no voice for lockscreen setting in GravityBox

Greeting, I have a Huawei y300-100 rooted, in which I mounted the fusionX b199 rom.
The rom itself is optimized with the use of Xposed, and one of the native modules in that is GravityBox.
I updated it and it works just fine, but searching the net I found out that it's capable of editing the lockscreen too, and that the voice for it is in the main menu.
I searched throughout the whole module, but I wasn't able to see a single voice about lockscreen editing.
At first I thought it was because I've a 4.1 Android mounted, but the net says that it should be there anyway.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way to solve the problem?
Thanks

[Completed] Lockscreen Notifications - Quadro SQ-40e01b

Hey guys,
I need help with my Quadro smartphone.
Recently I downloaded a lockscreen app which should supposedly also enable notifications on my lockscreen. It does not work, however. I don't remember specifically which app it was, but after that one didn't work I tried a couple of other ones and none of them worked. They all said I should give the app access to lockscreen notifications through the accessibility options. However, no apps appeared in my accessiblity options.
I'm guessing that the phone's manufacturer didn't include allowing apps to use some of the phone's features. BTW, I enabled WhatsApp popups on lockscreen today and when I received a message, the popup appeared but the background was fully black. The phone is rooted and i've tried many modules in Xposed Framework but none of them gave me any results regarding this. Is there any way to give the app access to the lockscreen in this scenario?
Note: I'd provide a screenshot of my accessibility options, but since this is my first post, I am unable to do so. Well, it won't help a lot anyway
Thanks in advance, Topaz17

Hi, thank you for using XDA assist.
There is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can get better help and support if you try to ask over there.
Good luck.

how to open apps without unlocking the device?

I tried Quick Access (xposed) but this doesn't work.
How can i do to access apps without unlocking the device
thank you so much
Nexus 5
Android 6.0
Rooted
Xposed installed
Using Knock Code to lockscreen (xposed)
Maybe silence reflects the general members' bafflement that I feel. What exactly is the point of locking a device if you then let any Tom, **** or Harry open apps within it?

How Can I Disable ALL Apps from App Settings?

We know that since KitKat it is possible to disable in built system apps, but there are some system apps that cannot be disabled, like Google Play Services for example. If I want to enable/disable it I have to keep my phone rooted, but I'm a '90s kid and I like playing Pokemon GO, which is not working on rooted devices. So, is it possible to extend to all apps the enable/disable feature in app settings? In this way I could enable/disable core system apps without rooting everytime.
By the way, I love root, but with a custom ROM I barely use this function. I root my phone once in a while just update AdAway, then remove it to play PoGO. I have a OnePlus 2 with RR 5.8.0 (ResurrectionRemix-N-v5.8.0-20161209-oneplus2).
Any tips or hints on how this thing works would be helpful. How Android knows which apps you can disable or not?
Thanks in advance!

You can't disable system core apps on your non rooted android.
If you disable core apps to your rooted android then it makes your system unstable.
