Where to find CM created apps? - General Questions and Answers

Ok, so I've done quite a bit of googling and XDA searching, and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm currently rooted and ROM'd, but when I'm not using cm11, I really miss a few key cm apps. (File manager, sound recorder, DSM manager, Apollo, etc). Of course there are alternatives, but I love the way cm incorporates them, and it seems like part of the ecosystem. I CANNOT for the life of me find apks or a zip to flash containing these apps. Am I missing something? Are they proprietary to CM software? Even a lot of cm based Roms don't have them included. Any info on where to find them, or news on why I can't?
Thanks!

GO on google play search this app called cyanogenmod 11 app installer or something like that. It allows you to jnstall cm file manager,apollo, dsp manager, and others.

have you tried looking on market.android.com? It should show you any recent purchases under my account or you can also look under my library too and see if you can find it there too.
this was a free app. how can I see history using the old market app?
ok. I see where you meant. the app is not showing anywhere...sucks

When I start it ti's giving me an error and does nothing. How can I fix that?
Try googling the app name to see if someone has the apk hosted. Usually works for me when the crap market search engine fails to locate apps I've downloaded and used many times in the past.

[Q] Google Drive refuses to open any document?

I've seen this exact problem no where else on the internet. I'm flabbergasted.
Google drive refuses to open any document at all on my sidekick, and no one else on the internet has gotten this error message.
"Google Documents Error
Google documents has encountered an error. Please try reloading the document."
I'm using Ricandroid's NexusJB. I would post in his thread but I can't post in development yet. Its a great build otherwise and I'd like to avoid having to reinstall from scratch. Anyone else have this issue?
I do not have this problem. Do you have your Google account set up to sync in Settings>Accounts and Sync?
Yep, it is. Gmail and talk and contacts all work. I'm thinking its some kind of incapability with memory resources maybe? Its a blank denial on all doc types. I wish I were better at coding and linux to figure this out, but I'm too much of a newbie atm.

Might be a server problem; have you tried again? Also see this page for some possible fixes: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/drive/ifONR5aCqSc/Sg0hZrbVQXcJ
Yeah I have, multiple times. I thought it may be droidwall but like the poster in your link says, it does load a docs list and allows me to make a doc offline. I didn't find this after many searches.. thanks for that.

Yeeeah so it was droidwall. I found out after uninstalling it. I guess it was lying when it said it was allowing google drive. I think google drive relies upon other internet processes to function besides itself.
Thanks for your input!
Edit: Nope!
I thought it was droidwall, but I had uninstalled google drive at the same time. It seems its the new update that breaks drive functionality.
It seems the solution is to block updates. Google drive conveniently offers that functionality in its settings.

Google Drive partially works right now when updated but the reason you can't open your documents may be that one of libs is missing in your /system/lib directory. They could have added more in the update that are otherwise seperated from the old version on your system memory.
Just a though I have had the problem once before, but I can't remember exactly how I fixed it.

The latest version of Drive works fine for me. I did not have it installed at all, so I had a fresh install (not an update). Maybe try removing it completely (not just the updates) and reinstall. Is your Drive installed as a system app or user app? If it's a system app, you'll need to use something like Titanium Backup to remove it.
This would make sense. It is an uninstall able system app, so maybe the updates libraries are broken by that.
I'm reluctant to try uninstallong with titanium as its working now. Ehh I'll probably do it in a bit and let you guys know.
Would you know how to find out which libraries Drive uses, zydrate?
Edit: Aaand its broke again and I forgot to make a backup... whoops.

I think google drive app that comes with ricandroid's nexus JB is the only one that will really work. Does anyone know if he packagaes google apps with it? If I could find the right package for the sidekick I could avoid a rom reinstall maybe.
I'm surprised there are barely any other sidekick users with this problem!! I'll post later to let you guys know if that holds true, and if a titanium backup would restore an uninstalled google drive's functionality.
It doesn't make sense to me that only the Drive app that ricandroid bundled with his nexusJB ROM would work. If that were the case, then anytime the app updated from the Play Store, it would break, and as you said, no one else seems to have a problem with it. I think the problem is on your device--maybe a dependency has gotten corrupted or gone missing. But you could always send ricandroid a private message and ask him what version he used, if he modified it, etc. You said it's working right now, so why not make a backup of it in case it starts acting up again?
I though it was working.... but it wassnt.
I finally reinstalled the JB build, which for some reason kind of made it faster?? Maybe a second wipe freshened it up.
Google drive was working initially, I tried updating it, it broke it again, and a titanium backup restored functionality successfully. So I still don't know what's wrong. Maybe a slightly corrupted ROM?
Ill try messaging ricandroid one of these days.

I don't know why the update keeps breaking Drive. I posted a query on the nexusJB thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162745 for you. We'll see what responses we get.
Wow, thanks man!!! Almost up to 10 posts though! Haha.

The only response so far is that someone saw on g+ that several people still running 2.x are having an issue with google drive. Of course, everyone using the SK4G is still on 2.2. May just be a random issue.
I got another response that someone is using ES File Explorer File Manager to access Google Drive. I didn't know you could do that, but apparently you can access a lot of cloud services using that app (which is a good one, and free). Just search for it in the Play Store.

I was watching the thread. Just posted in there as well now that I'm up to 10 posts. Thanks for your help with this, but I think I'll just stick to having updates disabled. Whatever google drive is being updated with, its nothing I can see as it has perfect functionality.

Miui permissions

I have used Miui for a while before and I was liked the way it was warn me when some application was trying to send an sms or make a call. It was kind of permission management inbuilt app that is the one future I didn't find market alternative to have it in present roms I am using. I should be very grateful if someone tells me similar application.

Personalize Google now and App Ops

Hi
As I am playing with my Nexus 5(I just transferred to Android from iPhone), I came up with two questions:
1) How do I personalize Google Now? It seems like anyone can activate it.
2) I saw 4.3 has App ops in the setting, which I cannot find in nexus 5.
Please if any one can clarify my questions.
Thanks!
2) >settings >apps is still there
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Sorry I'm quite new to this, and I saw that, but that is different from the App Ops I saw from 4.3, where you can set the permission to each app (such as location access).
Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Google Now cannot be "personalised" as such. Not by options anyway. It will react to your searches and positions. Once you use the phone with Google Now activated it will learn your work and home positions and times and tell you how long to work and when you should leave to get there on time. It will also do many many other things. Searches with Google Now will personalise it more and more.
I have never seen that app ops option but I do recall something about cyanogenmod having the ability to change an app's permissions. Maybe the 4.3 you saw was actually someone using a custom ROM called CyanogenMod. I'm sure it won't be too long until they release a version for the Nexus 5... If they haven't already.

Android 4.3 had the hidden feature called 'app ops', but you could only open it with a different launcher like Nova. This allowed you to set the permissions for every app installed. As far as I know 'app ops' is not available in 4.4 anymore.
The only reason I ask about the personalize Google now is whoever around me have the same phone saying okay Google and all the phones pop with Google now.
I thought it should tailor to your voice to avoid this happening.

Get Cyanogenmod Apps?

I'm using stock Android but I'd like to get some of the apps available with CM like Eleven, the camera and the gallery app. Is that possible without using an app like this CyanApps (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maartendekkers.cyanapp). I'd prefer getting them elsewhere because I don't know the dev behind CyanApps, I don't know if he can be trusted and I don't know where he gets the apps.
Thanks!
