Hi! Is there any plans for Google adding up this feature on Android L? This I actually found to be useful due to annoying spam SMS and marketing calls I have been receiving.
I know there's a 3rd party app but they are causing battery drain and isn't reliable. I've used this feature on my iPhone 5S through IOS 7 though and would like to see it implemented on Android. ✌?

We don't know anything Google plans in advance unless they announce it officially. If battery drain is your concern, perhaps custom Roms are your future

Thanks for the input, I guess that's the least working option. ?

I use slimkat, and it is included in that rom. Prior to that, I was using xposed and the module called blacklist.

So far Android doesn't have it baked in. Apps like Truecaller work well and in my experience, don't drain too much juices as well!

So, I tried to install the permission manager app from the play store for 4.3 and it didn't work, how can we manage app permissions on 4.4?

Google have blocked access to it in 4.4 so the built-in app is no longer available.
Coming from CM10.2 I was hoping to at least be able to use this with my N5, but alas it's not so .

Wait... They removed the feature that they just added to the last version? Or they removed the old method of enabling it?

I believe they blocked the APIs used by the permissions editor which is why it crashes - but I'm struggling to find the reference I read that had this info.......
afaik they removed it completely. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47098228&postcount=2
One of the best features ever introduced to android and they remove it. Might even downgrade my N7 because of this.

I downgraded my N4 back to 4.3. Disabling app ops is terrible. Even apple has this feature: iOS alerts you if any app wants to access your contacts, or your photos, or your camera, and you have a choice to allow or not. Android 4.3 does not alert you, but at least you have the option to dig into the App Ops and revoke access to certain things. 4.4 is the first time an android upgrade dissapointed me (they destroyed the alarm app, the keyboard, the wifi indicator's activity/internet access, and App Ops).
App ops was never an official feature, so they technically didn't remove anything.

I'm with you on the users defending Google like the can do no wrong, but definitely disagree about the YouTube g+ integration... They needed to clean YouTube up, and now I can see friend's comments on videos more easily and only view the comments and responses of certain people... That was a good idea..
I think Google is completely wrong by blocking this app ops function, if that's what happened here...

Does anyone know where these preferences are stored? I'm mainly concerned with whether or not changing the options will affect an OTA update. If nothing is altered in the system files I'm sure we're good to go.

I really dont understand how google has yet to fix this problem. There are fixes for dev editions but has anyone gotten it to work on 4.4.2 using ART? This is the only thing preventing me from switch to ART full time :<

Yes that's his point. He wants to run ART which is still experimental and not supported by Google yet, but still wants to complain that apps don't work using it. Pretty absurd if you ask me.

I'm on my high horse as you call it because It works fine for me so your ART is most likely the issue. Did you uninstall it after you switched to Dalvik then reinstall? Clear the app data and cache?
My point is the whining about something being Google's fault when the app works just fine if you don't switch to an unsupported engine. The OS nor the app are the issue. I use it daily.

1 first of all... Isnt googles fault cause whatsapp since 4.4 was released whatsapp told they don't gonna have support for art in that version untill 4.4.1 .... Why??? Don't know, complain with whatsapp. But maybe cause 4.4 gonna be a "trandition version" like HC 3.0 was a couple of years ago. How do i know that??? Cause im work with the moto team.
2 dude.... What Is the point to have a developer edition if youre still on 4.4 when outside are plenty of 4.4.2 Roms??? Boy, just update!

What's app was never installed so I can't reset the app. Also the reason why I'm blaming Google is because from what everyone is saying this issue can only be fixed by an update from Google since it has to do with the lib.

If you attempted to re-install WhatsApp in ART, your /data/data/ directory may have a latent com.whatsapp folder left behind from the failed install that will prevent you from installing WhatsApp again. Android does not have any UI exposed to resolve this issue. Currently the only known way to remove this file is to either delete the file (only possible if your phone is rooted), or to reset your device to factory defaults.

The S5 seemed relatively unimpressive, however the download booster feature seems interesting where it uses lte and wifi for data. I was curious as to whether someone could port that over to the Nexus 5 or create their own implementation.

I think it is implemented in software. There is a demo for using both LTE and WiFi on Galaxy S2 on YouTube already. (Search for "Energy-efficient multi-link video streaming on smartphones")
This would be REALLY nice feature to have. I actually might root for it!
Im pretty sure that it is software related, because I remember reading about an app for android that does this for you, but for the life of me can't remember the name of the app.

Any feedback? 4/5 stars on the Play Store from a N5 user.
Unfortunately I have no WiFi connection to test...
My LTE connection blows away my home Wi-Fi connection.... I don't see how I could benefit from a booster. I would think it would utilize bandwidth from my cellular data connection and not touch my Wi-Fi. Just another gimmick to pay twice as much as you need for a device imho.

I've been looking for a new gv app for years. I keep hoping hangouts will merge soon. But the things I would like out of gv messaging app are common in other messaging apps like threaded messages. Not split up like gv does. Custom sounds per contact. A pop up quick reply message. Those are the things I would want most.
Batch delete. Is really the only thing I really want from GV. Anything else is just a plus to me. I live in an area where T-Mobile gets real shotty reception and I have hundred and hundreds of items in 'Missed' in GV. Trying to delete them is just absurd.
Alright! Let's see what I can do for my first app!

Hangouts, tango, Skype. There is no option in the stock dialer app for video calls.
I think the standard video calls fell out of favour several years ago so some don't bother adding it as a feature

The network supports it. Me and my friend haven't find any 3rd party dialer app or anyithing. It is a pretty useless feture for me, because video call price is high, but for my friend in the country where he lives the price of the video call is the same as the normal call.
I read it somewhere that video call is not supported at all in the USA through carrier networks. I think that could be the reasone why it is missing. D820 and D821 share the exact same software.
I think its missing because no one really uses it. About 10 years ago, it was popular for about year but after that no one used it really as its pretty pointless. Particularly now we have better data infrastructures and people can use their allowance
