When I decide to share something from an app (for example a photo from Google+), normally I have to choose the app to use for the sharing (Whatsapp, Twitter, Gmail, etc.).
With my Nexus 5 I don't have this option when I share a webpage from Chrome, Android send me directly to Gmail and the same happens when I try to share something from Falcon Pro too.
With other apps I haven't this problem.
Anyone wonder how to correct this?
Thanks!
Hi, I think it's a kitkat bug. It keeps in memory the last application you shared with.
To fix this go to Settings -> App -> All and choose from the menu "Reset preferences app" or something like that (I'm sorry but my language is italian).

When in the youtube app I cannot share video from the YouTube app to any other services other then g+ ,the sharing menu doesn't open, it goes direct to g+ , If I disable the google plus app the share menu on the youtube app okay but once I enable the google plus app the problem is back? Ideas?

Same problem for me, In fact, if you try to share a link from other apps, this happens as well.
This happens because the ACTION_SENT intent does not seem to be saving preferences properly. I am trying to fix this. Really annoying.
A workaround for now is to use the Andmade Share app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share&hl=en_GB)
EDIT: Seems like an Android bug (c.f. https://code.google.com/p/android/i...nd&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...createchooser-method-causes-intentserviceleak)
Having the same issue, but youtube opens google drive. If I disable google drive I can select any app to share to. So is this a bug with 4.4 or youtube?
It's a bug with many if not all apps. I hope they fix soon

Go to Settings-->Apps-->3 dot menu and hit "reset app preferences". This will clear all sharing defaults.
Apparently, either there's a bug in Kitkat or an app that auto defaults sharing to the app you last shared to. So if you shared something to G+ before the bug kicked in, all subsequent shares go to G+ without "share" menu popping up.

This worked Thank you! I emailed Android Police about the bug and received the following response:
"You know, someone tipped us that this was happening to the youtube app, but I couldn't reproduce. They ended up factory resetting.
I then she something similar in Feedly - it opened Gmail instead of the picker, but upon retrying it worked.
Definitely seems like an issue somewhere."
Hopefully next time it happens I will know how to reproduce it.

Have the same issue. The first time everything was defaulting to Google Drive. Now it's just started again but it's defaulting to Google plus instead. The fix mentioned above worked but it's still a bit annoying.

I'm having the same thing with Drive. Annoying, as I'm trying to attach a photo I haven't captured yet. I wonder if Xposed module can help with this,
App Ops eXtended is a launcher for the 4.3 AND 4.4 App Ops activity, as well as an installer for a more advanced version of App Ops with added features:
- search for apps
- filter out disabled apps
- sorting alphabetically
- batch grant/revoke OPs (permissions)
- ability to automatically deny permissions chosen by you on new app installs
- optional persistent notification to show revoked permissions for the current foreground app
App Ops X is a recompiled version of Android 4.3's App Ops which we've made available to Kit Kat now too.
We're going to improve on it and add new features, so please, if there's anything you'd like to see just let us know! Also if you have any problems with it, please send us a description along with your ROM. Thanks!

Can you add the option to take away ability from apps to connect to the internet, or to write to the USB storage, or to read the phone status and identity? That's what I would call extended app ops

Don't these apps work by listing ALL the permissions that an individual app can access ? So if it can't access the internet or GPS or or or it won't give the option to denied ?

App Ops lists some, not all permissions. Look at chrome, it doesn't say that it has any network permissions, neither write storage, but if you look at them in Settings->apps you can see it does.

Gotcha I never really looked at apps like chrome , I really only use it for games and shady apps downloaded from the internet . I agree finding a way to show all permissions would be great
Many thanks!! I was waiting for kit Kat version.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Yep, working on the INTERNET permission right now. App Ops eXtended uses the same AppOpsManager as the native app, which doesn't support it, so it's a bit more work, but we're getting there!
Looks nice !
If I may, once App Ops X is installed, the button still says Install App Ops X Maybe you could change it to "Launch App Ops X"
That's done, along with a few other features:
- notification that shows revoked permissions to the current foreground app
- batch grant/revoke a permission to all apps that requested it at once
- rules - automatically disallow permissions of your choosing to newly installed apps (like READ CONTACTS)
Don't see wake lock option in X version
First thanks for make this great app available on Kitkat platform.
I'm not sure if the following bug might be related to my phone only:
When trying the Native AppOps, all works fine and I see the "wake lock" option.
However when I try the AppOps X, I'm unable to see the option for "wake lock". I had granted superuser access to the app and phone is rooted. I'm on Kitkat (Build from CM 11). Phone is a Samsung S2 I9100.
If nobody is having this issue, then I would guess it's something with my OS or phone.

This is cool! Can you also present the apps sorted by name ? The standard app ops show the apps in random order, so it's hard to find a specific app you are looking for, if it falls under a section with a lot of apps.

Thanks for that! It is actually a bug on our side which we'll try to get fixed by the next version! Feel free to suggest any improvements if you have an ideas too!

They are actually sorted so that the app which most recently used that OP is shown first. We'll try to add a sort option by the next version too though!

In App Ops X on the upper right side there's a "settings" button, and there on the unlocked version the first option is for turning off the notification. If you haven't unlocked (purchased) though and you see notifications from App Ops X then that's a bug which we'll try to fix ASAP.
Yeh I have upgraded, but still get notifications, even if unchecked in settings

My main concern is the device ID. is there anyway to stop apps from gaining access to that? Seems like a good app so far. Nice job

There isn't any way through the AppOpsManager as of yet. Even so, the device ID now isn't as unique as it used to be, since it's software generated as opposed to hardware. I'm still looking into it to confirm that it's so, but the most of the internet tells that it is.
Hi folks,
While tweaking my phone I accidentally clicked Google Hindu Input on Keyboard & Language section. Even though I unclicked it afterwards, Google Play wants to update it (I manually update my apps). I disable the Input notifications from Apps menu, but it is still shown up under Google Play "update your apps" menu. I installed and uninstalled it, yet to no avail. Is there any way to unlink my connection with it?
I'm using rooted Nexus 5.
I had the same problem, all you have to do is go to Settings>Apps>All>Google Hindu Input>Disable
And that should do the trick!
P.S. it should look like the picture after all said and done..

Thanks for the reply. I did it first, but it said it could affect other apps performances as well, as it is a part of system apps. So, I think I need to give it a try again. Thanks.

Also found that Titanium Backup has bunch of market related functions. I'm a noob to the app, but if I find anything to solve my problem, I'll post it here.
I have a Chinese Honor 8 and have installed Google on it. Everything works fine but I cannot access the Google settings page. I know its there because I seen it pop up once asking if I want to enable Android Device manager.
Any idea how I can access it? When I go to accounts -> google and click on it, nothing happens.

Google settings has a separate app icon nowadays.
Hope so that it got hidden in any app groups. You need to check in the app groups.
If all the google apps will be inside any app group (Folder like thing). It might be inside that.

There's no icon for it, I checked everywhere.
On my other phones on Android 6 I must go to the Google account and the settings opens when you click on it. On this phone, nothing happens.
Did you install Google play services? The Google settings apps comes with it.

Yes of course. Everything works perfect and I know the Google settings app is there because it asked me something about device manager and I saw the Google settings. But there is no way for me to access it by myself.

Too lazy Anyway I found a workaround solution using the app QuickShortcutMaker. You can choose Google Play Services there and the created shortcut opens google settings.

Try with searching the settings by swiping downwards in home screen...
Let us know the result. So that we can get a clear idea on the thing.
Also thanks for mentioning the app name to do the workaround.

First thing I tried was the search, it couldn't find it. I spent literally an hour looking through the phone for a way to access the google settings. Using that app to create the shortcut was the only thing that worked.
Your probing for the solution and posting the solution for it will be useful for future people. Thank you...
Hi all,
I'm new to MIUI, trying to adapt myself to this new system interface. I am curently on MIUI 9.5.19 .
I am aware that it might be a really dumb question, but I searched through google and in Xda forum and I can't find where is the Autofill option in Parameters. It seems Google autofill is active because sometimes it works... I would like to change the autofill app to set Bitwarden by default which is much better in my opinion.
Can someone please say me how I can do that ?

https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-autofill-android-oreo
Auto fill was added to android in 8.0 and is directly through the OS. From my understanding there is no way to set "bitwarden" as your default auto fill tool.
As soon as you login to a website/app you should see a prompt from the OS to save your password. Click save. Next time you login, it will auto fill.
This works for me and has worked for quite some time.
Thank you for your answer .
My previous phone was a OnePlus 3, and I flashed different Android Oreo and OxygenOS rom on it. Theses ROMs all had an option in "Language and input" (something like that) in Settings, in which I could set another Password autofill app. I will keep searching, maybe it's (really) well hidden somewhere in Settings.

I use google keyboard (GBOARD) on my device and cannot find any option in settings AND in GBOARD preferences to change the default autofill service. Other keyboards may allow you to do this, I am not sure.
Best of luck! :good:
For me it's working with Lastpass, just search in the search bar in settings app for autofill. On xiaomi.eu miui 9 rom it's under settings->additional settings-> language and input -> autofill-service. Phone language is german so I don't know if I translated correctly^^
In global ROM the menu is missing, you cannot chose autofill service. Still waiting for unlock to install .eu ROM :laugh:
You could install LastPass as a workaround. When you go into settings in LastPass and click Autofill it opens the MIUI Settings Screen for Autofill in the Global ROM. Once MIUI Autofill Settings opens you can choose Google or LastPass and there is a + option for adding a different service.
OP see attached!!
This is on the latest miui 10 beta 8.7.5 dev global.
I was able to set auto fill service to my password manager (enpass) and can confirm it works!
