i need an app to supervise other apps
i need it to
tell me what apps is using the internet and to stop the ones i choose
the process running in the back without the system processes
also to save a log for the apps and what they are doing.
plz if someone knows an app that can do this or different apps
help me.
I use Onavo for the monitoring, you can restrict apps to wifi easily & it'll tell you which apps are potential data hogs. I find it easier to navigate than the ICS built in data monitor
You can also tell it your data limit & it'll give you usage info & awarning when you're near your limit

Droidwall can block specific apps from using wifi or 3g.

I use onavo, it alerts you to the apps that consume more data. and if you want to control the use of the apps battery, Badass battery.

LBE Privacy Guard. So many possibilites to control your apps premissions, that you will be able to supervise any event that apps are trying to run it in backround. Sending sms by apps, reading contact list,using gps localisation... many many more. You can also set profiles for apps (disable 3g but let enable wifi for your app for example, or reject/accept both. It's short discripition what can this app do. Check more at dev page. Must have for rooted. And Free.

HI guys
Ive noticed that fb mobile app always uses GPS to probe my location when i run the app, thats kinda disturbing. Is there a way to configure the app or do something to prevent it from turning on GPS? I tried to revoke its permission to use location services with another app but fb crashes.. Any tips are much appreciated.
Try this:
Goto 'Settings - Account - App Settings - Messenger Location Services" and turn it off.

no, this only turns the location report in the chat ("sent from near location x,y,z..").

this means turning GPS completely off, not only for facebook.
Without some sort of hack/app it is not possible clearly. Basically FB is using you GPS position for their private needs?
i dont know, but you can look at facebooks app permission and see it usses permission to access your call logs and alter them. if thats not private use, i dont know what is.
same probleme here ,, Turning GPS completly is the best solution
Install any security app form play store like LBE PRIVACY GUARD. You can block a specific app from using GPS through these applications since android platform does not allow settings for specific apps for using/not using GPS!
NOTE: NEEDS ROOT FOR THIS ACTION TO WORK!
Go to fb setting and turn of the location sharing.
Plus u can simply switch off the gps from the notification but then still it shares the location using web access point.
So u need both the things to xompletely shut the location thing...

yes. still searches for gps. i think ive found a solution, flashed a new rom with Xposed framework (first time i see this) and theres an option to controll app settings, one of the options was permissions, revoked location permissions and it seems the app is still working and not crashing (unlike the first try to revoke these permissions with another application) and does not uses the gps. yay!!

Before I begin note for:
Everyone:
I am making this thread as much as noob friendly. So if anyone doesn't understand any term or anything please let me know through posting here or PM me.
Moderators:
This is my first guide. I tried to follow all the rules if my thread is breaking any rules please let me know so I can make appropriate changes.
If the thread is in wrong section please move it.
This guide is only for:
- Android 4.3 and above which has app ops (privacy guard)
App Ops (or privacy guard) can be used for:
- denying specific permission to a certain app
-checking which apps are kepping your phone awake and which apps are the one using resources like location, personal stuff, etc ( only if your app ops or privacy guard has " advance" option. watch video to know what it is.)
- preventing app from causing wakelock
-overall it can be sort of used like wakelock blocker, battery saver app ( because of its feature to block wakelock) and noob friendly way of determining apps that causes wakelocks.

PPT on Using App Ops( privacy guard) to its full potential (includes saving battery)
(Best viewed on laptops, computer or mobile devices with bigger screen)
I was a little late (actually lot late) to use app ops
It was recently that I started using app ops (now mostly know as privacy guard)
Not only can it be used for privacy purposes but it can also be used as battery saving app or wakelock blocker.
Different Roms have a little different app ops( privacy guard) some provides user advance options some don’t. Some even has little extra option and sort of interactive mode like xprivacy. (like temasek’s ROM which I use)
I am made this video with temasek’s ROM which is my favorite ROM.

I faced same problem once. Don't remember now when and why as ut was long time back. I think it might have something to do with your ROM. If you are using xposed framework try using "app ops" module. I will try to recreate this error when i flash different ROM (Which is at least once a week) if i am able to replicate this error i will let you know why and what caused it.
I flashed one ROM over another after wiping just cache, dalvik and system which lead to same error message except it was when i tried to access "developer option"
So did you change your ROM recently without full wipe or procedure as mentioned in your ROM's thread?

If you are using xposed. Try "app ops" module . uf there is app ops hidden on your device it will unhide it. But from some stock ROMs it has been completely removed. And in some custom ROMs developers might have limited its use(functionality).
Try asking in the thread of ROM that you are currently on. You will known for sure from there where the app ops is on your ROM.

you can give this app a try.
found one article here some text from that is below:
Users of Galaxy S4 Google Play edition handsets have started receiving Android 4.2.2 over-the-air update notifications just a day after the same update was rolled out to Play editions of LG G Pad 8.3 and HTC One.
Android 4.4.2 not only brings in new features and bug fixes, but also removes App Ops from the OS which Google claims was mistakenly tagged along with the Android 4.3 update. The Apps Ops allowed users to control how much access can third party apps have on their personal data.
the app for which i have given you the link installs some customized version of app ops. not sure whether it will work on your phone or not.
Can someone confirm for me what some of the permissions are actually for?
Wi-Fi change
Data change
Bluetooth change
Also, if I allow an app 'Wake up', but not 'Keep awake' - could the app keep waking the phone in an attempt to gain the wakelock which it is being denied?
'Keep awake' only applies if the screen is off, correct?
If I deny 'Keep awake' then an app won't close down while I'm using it, but it could be put into hibernation (don't know the correct term) by Android while it's in the middle of a background task? Like a radio app could just close, or a browser which is downloading something could just terminate the download before it's completed?

wake up means : if device is in standby mode then that app can wake up your phone from sleep. like Facebook app when you recieve some notification it wakes up your phone to show notification.
keep awake means: while your phone is in use. if you are using some app and it is performing some operation and your phone screen times out and display switched off. after a while your phone will go in deep sleep. this permission will prevent it from going in deep sleep mode and keep phone awake. for example if you are downloading something via some download manager. and you have denied that download manager "keep awake" permission. so after you screen times out and there is no other app or process that is keeping your phone awake. this download manager will not be able to keep your phone awake. so download will stop .
so you need to use these permissions carefully. make sure you don't deny some app permission which is essential for its normal function.
you can deny Facebook both these wakelocks if you don't care about getting facebook notification all the time
Wifi Change and Data change is normally shown in apps that uses data. and also have options like sync or download only on wifi or only on mobile data. it is essential for that app to determine the change. so that it can act according to its settings.
For Bluetooth change you need to tell me for which app you are talking about? maybe some automatic profiles app like llama, tasker, etc they need this permission as there are profiles or conditions like switch on Bluetooth when in this area or if connected to this Bluetooth device do this
few people denied "settings" wake up and keep awake permission and they screwed up their phone. they had to reflash the entire ROM . they reported no touch, device not waking up from deep sleep. etc.
so just be extra careful when you are experimenting with system apps.

below quote is from your ROM chnagelog 02/18/2014.
Enabled app ops in Settings > Security, Take total control of the permissions apps are granted when you install them from google play, VERY useful if you are concerned about privacy or you just don't want some misc app seeing your SMS's or having network permissions

why dont you try greenify application. (if u know about xposed.) greenify stops applications and allow them to run only when needed. if you will buy paid app then then you can enable the feature which wakes apps like whatsapp when they get instant messages..

My new optimization settings:
Device: i9003
ROM: Nameless Rom
Performance apps:
- xPosed Module (to use Greenify)
- Greenify (don't hibernate Memory or other system managing apps apps).
- Memory manager app set to optimal.
Last tip. After installing nameless rom, do not use System Control app nor give superuser permissions. It will decreases a lot of your performance. Quite annoying.. But its true.
For other Roms: Get "Memory Manager" Application.
Or similar.

Most of those features are impossible to implement without root.
What's the difference between this and the Greenify app? Dots it do anything better?
I like your app and what it can do especially the greenify thing that is not available on GB. However is it really necessary for your application to remain in memory after doing its thing? It eats up 7-10mb and is unkillable. Doesn't make sense that the purpose of this app is to free RAM from other apps while your app itself eats a considerable amount of RAM and cannot be killed.

@oasisfeng Sorry for causing the misunderstanding.
We really appreciate the mission of your app, so we developed a similar app in our own way upon our own understanding, e.g. we apply different algorithm and mechanism to stop unwanted background services and we utilize different approaches to help users to save battery, memory and data consume.
If the quote of “Greenify” bothers you, we’ll change the name in the coming version.

Thanks for liking our app.In short, we reach different goals from Greenify.
With UU, you can manage background services, autorun and push notifications all in one go. We give intelligent advice on managing apps on a basis of continuous manually improved database.
In specific, we apply our own algorithm and multiple approaches to stop running background services.
Last but not least, we are seeking the ultimate solution to save your battery, memory and data consume and to block annoying pops-up.
