Hey guys,
I need an app to deny some permissions to certain apps on 5.1 (LMY47I), since there are apps I have installed that, I think, require some very intrusive ones. After a little search I found AppOps.
But since I am not rooted right now, could you guys confirm if this app is working correctly on 5.1 (LMY47I) on the N5. Or recommend another app, preferecially one that does not require Xposed, since it's still in Alpha (don't get me wrong, I love Xposed).
Thank you :good:
I can't post URLs, but the one I found is the one by Droid Mate.

Why donot you try a custom ROM like CM which has a build in privacy support. You can actually deny any permission to any app in settings.
There are some other apps but mostly would need ROOT i am afraid

Oh, I didn't know that CM had that feature builted in, definitely gonna check it out.
But is it really capable of denying ANY permission if an App? Because I tried AppOps in my rooted tablet and not all permissions could be denied, some don´t even show up on the App options.
Thanks for your answer :good:

Hi,
any chance to get the Permission Manager in 4.4 ?
The old App-Ops starter of 4.3 doesn't work anymore...

I just noticed this as well. Hopefully there's an updated version.
Does no one knows anything about that ?
Any chance to get it back ?
it was the best feature of 4.3 !

I agree. I'm thinking of downgrading my N7 back to 4.3 because of this. App developers have gone havoc with permission seeking which their apps definitely don't need to function great. Browsers are the best example. There are several browsers that want a ridiculous amount of permissions and then there's those with only one, mostly location.
Hey guys,
after a really long time with my Galaxy Ace and CM7 I bought the Nexus 5. So I will jump vom Gingerbread directly to KitKat, means that there a lot of news things to explore for me
On my Ace I have installed the great app PDroid. Following some Android News, I think to remember that Google wanted to include a permission control on their Stock Roms too?
Are there any possibilities to have a permission control on N5/KitKat? Or are there any apps like PDroid which will work on the N5?
Thanks for your help!

XPrivacy.
However, it uses xPosed which is not yet compatible, so you will have to wait.

Thank you for that hint.
But there are no settings direct in Android 4.4?
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Actually, does anyone know if any of these are possible?
1.) Replace the Visually Built-In SuperUser with SuperSU found in the ROM Settings.
2.) Completely Remove/Uninstall SuperUser from ROM Settings so that it can no longer be seen or found.
If so, would you please be so kind in posting a simple tutorial?
Thanks so much in advance!
You would have to decompile the settings apk and remove the header for the superuser app. Then you would need to create a new header linked to an intent that would open the SuperSU package. Not really worth the amount of work if you ask me.
You do realize that by flashing SuperSU on top of a rom that already has superuser built in, superuser is completely removed and replaced by SuperSU regardless of the fact that it still has a header in the settings.

After reading your very much appreciated response, I take it that neither of these can be done neither quick or easy.
Thank you and yes I do understand that, but I atleast want to remove it if I can't replace it. For me personally, it sticks out like a swore thumb.
I truly think that even if only one of these were available, countless people would appreciate it. When researching this I found nearly endless posts on the subject where users were trying to do something of the matter. Sounds like it might be worth it?

Upload your Settings apk and I'll take a quick look to see if I can do it. No guarantees, but I can try

I apologize for my late reply. I wasn't aware that anyone has made a post after my last.
Anyway, just recently I discovered Xposed Framework and its awesome potential, so I am now using SuperSU and using Google's stock 4.4.2 ROM.
I really appreciate you offering to help me, that's really cool thank you. Now that I'm on the stock 4.4.2 ROM my only desire to still do this would be to implement/embed my SuperSU app into my settings which I think would be so cool seeing that its an original stock ROM. Similar to the way the custom CM ROMs do it but not the way they prompt you for root permission, I would simply like to keep the way SuperSU does it with its popup.
If you are still help me with this and willing to give it a shot, that would be really cool and I would feel pretty special having being the only one with SuperSU embedded into stock ROM settings . If you are still willing to attept something like this please let me know as I would be stoked having the original SuperSU embeded into the settings of the original 4.4.2 stock ROM . Thanks a lot!

Sure, but the problem is that since you are now on stock rom, the phone is now odexed. Each apk has a corresponding odex file, which makes it tougher to modify stuff like this. If you could switch the stock deodexed rom it might make this possible.

It is the same with odexed as well. We need to add the manifest name of the su app to the settings header. Add png of size, add strings and done. 5 min job and chromium, nice to talk to you

Oh, for some reason I thought that odexed ROMs needed some extra things done for apk modifications. Sorry for the misinformation.
I am running Mahdi ROM, latest version came with Superuser. I prefer SuperSU as it gets updated and maintained more often, so I flashed the latest (1.91) update zip and now I have both. It did not remove the integrated Superuser that came with the ROM settings.

No worries Actually the smali folder we see in the deodexed app is the same .odex file intergrated into 1 file..

Is there a way to get app Ops on preview Android L?
i think thats a goner but I do know xprivacy will be updated for Android L. Its much better than App Ops for a very small amount.

That requires xposed correct? If so I have read somewhere that he won't update it until Google releases the final version of Art I tried 2 different apps from the playsotore but no luck..

App Ops works fine on Android L. Tested using my personal superuser mod that includes app ops, didn't change any of the code that worked fine on 4.4, so one of the other methods will surely work.

The main difference is, I have baked the App Ops stuff into a Superuser apk which I have in /system/priv-app in my ROM. It's not a simple shortcut like a lot of the App Ops enabler apps.
Found via a quick Google: https://github.com/theblixguy/AppOps/tree/master/apk
Seems like this guy basically did the same thing. So grab the apk, push to /system/priv-app, set permissions to 664 (he recommends 777 which is not necessary but will also work), and reboot (might not even need to reboot).

Someone has made it(by installing a shortcut-apk into /system/priv-app/ )

There will be no difficulty for the AppOpsXposed to support L provided that Xposed works on the ART-only L.

Hello Everyone,
I have rooted my phone and am using GPS joystick Fake GPS location app from the play store. I am using a private mode within this app which helps me to create a copy of the app with a different name so that POGO does not detect it.
Everything works fine till here. I am using Lucky patcher to change the installed cloned app as a system app and it asks for a restart, after restart the cloned app goes missing.
I have no idea what is gng wrong and would need some light and help on this.
I am using a Xiaomi Mi Max

You can't use Titainium backup that does it but other then that I don't know. I don't mess with things like that.
Also just be careful. They are banning people caught cheating. To the point of banning the device itself.

Use titanium backup. Saw the auto correct was a mistake. That is really the only way but even then it has been detected by the game.

Can we not make an app a system app without using any of these apps?
IF i am right does it not just move the data/app to priv/app folder?

It does but it requires root. You could try just moving it with a file explorer but no promises it will work. Normally system apps only work when flashed. Also they tend to code things to look in the data partition. So moving it to system can cause issues.
You can try a few but no promises.

The phone is rooted for sure, but moving the data/app to priv/app then when I reboot it.. the files go missing! As if it was never pasted there...! That is what is causing all the issues!

That's most likely due to the signature. All apps in system need to have the same signature. Without it the apk won't run at all.
I can't help any more then that. People here don't use multiple versions of the same app.
