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.

good god, why do the Googlers always have to find every disappointment thread to defend their master. Let me guess, you think the Google+ enforcement on youtube is awesome too?

So? It's still a feature they included, with easy access, and then took away even though it was nothing but effective for the users...

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.
Sure do love having it again!

Ok, any idea how to sort the list of apps in app ops?
First thing I did after signing in was switch to ART. If your going to do the same, I'd recommend you do it before downloading your apps. It has to optimize all apps on the device and I did it without downloading a single app. 324 apps. Took a while.

Not stupid at all bud. Unlock developer settings by going to "about phone" in settings, double tap "build number" 7 times until you see the toast msg that says "you are now a developer". Back out, go to the newly available " developer settings " and 3rd (4th if you count the first non selectable line) option which says "select runtime system" and change it to "ART". It will say Dalvik until you've changed it to ART. Choosing it will reboot your device and take a few minutes while sets up your apps for ART. It is possible that if could be incompatible with some apps but since it first released with 4.4, I haven't heard of this.

I think this sped up the start up time of the camera, which is still kinda slow. I just hope I don't have issues with some apps as I've heard of others that had to completely reset their phone to stop some apps from crashing even after returning to Dalvik and reinstalling the app...
What is Art?

Basically, it is supposed to allow apps to start faster, run smoother and improve battery. Here's an in depth explanation

No literally it looked like a flash counter notification stating modified... not sure of it unlocked the bootloader or not as I'll let someone else make that brick in error... it had a lock which showed unlocked though.

Mine does this as well. I can't believe Samsung marks the device if you run ART. A stock feature of Android.

Yeah, not too bad. It looks as if they started to redesign it but only got as far as settings and quick settings lol. With Nova and Flatro icons, it looks as though it's how it was supposed to be done. One of things that was always first on my list after rooting or flashing was changing the appearance of the status bar/quick settings. I like them now so with Nova, I really like the appearance. IMO.

I don't wanna open a thread for this so I'll try it here, I can't remember the "official" name, but "quick glance"? Something like that. When device is asleep, you wave over it and it displays the time and notifications. The one " motion gesture " I use and I can't find it. Hope they didn't ax it.
Anyone know how to enable it? Can't find it in the gestures section... Nor can I find lock screen widgets.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know people are all excited to try anything different, but ART on this device just isn't a good experience (at least on a stock device). I really wouldn't recommend switching, as you are unlikely to be pleased.
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

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!

Right.... looking for a compiled list of apps that can be disabled with Package disabler pro and wont cause your phone to screw up. Other carriers have lists available but a lot of their apps are not on our Sprint devices.
I would like to know as well. I did disable about 10+ apps and haven't had any issues yet.
Are you rooted?
Ive seen many threads like this around the internet on a number of sites but it seems the people who do know which ones do not want to take the time and post them all Oh well ill wait i guess
Nope not rooting this time I disabled 90 with no issues I'll post a running list

Mine came preloaded with less than 90, no root no disabling of system apps, so you're essentially disabling every app that came preloaded on your phone? Am i missing something?

Settings>battery>close apps after screen lock
then find the app and toggle to OFF works for Roboform. Accessibility finally remains ON.
That is not where I would look to find what everyone calls "ignore battery optimisation" and it has taken a while to find the correct setting to change. I'm posting this in case it helps someone find the correct place. Huawei themselves say that different phones have different menus.
