As you may know, Google has remove App Ops on Android 4.4.2. This app helps you to bring it back
Root device only for now
What is App Ops
App Ops is an activity, within the Settings app, that allows users to enable or disable operations on a per-app basis. These operations cover many common scenarios identified by permissions (e.g., read contacts, write contacts, access location), though it is not a pure one-to-one mapping.
Operations blocked by App Ops are inaccessible by the affected app, though that may vary by device.
Toggle-able permissions
- Access notifications
- Alarm volume
- Audio focus
- Bluetooth volume
- Call phone
- Camera
- Draw on top
- Keep awake
- Location
- Master volume
- Media buttons
- Media volume
- Modify calendar

It's weird that this thread has no activity.. it's a proper mod tbh.
After clicking to "Install AppOps Root", the device reboots, but nothing seems to change. Starting the Installer again still shows the same message: "Click to install AppOps Root..."
If I click "Launch Stock App Ops", I see Settings that promptly closes.
I am rooted and running a 4.4.2 ROM.
What am I missing?
App is working great. But can you please change the Icon in the drawer? It is really hard to see with this dark grey color

Not for me.
I have run through installation twice and didn't see any errors.
I just got prompted to d/l new firmware for my note 3 today. and after hearing they took this out. I declined it! keeping an eye on this, hopefully there will be a way to bring this back for non rooted devices. as my phone is only 2 months old. and I wana wait 4-6 months to make sure its not faulty B4 I go rooting it. plus there arent enough stable ROMS for note 3 anyway. I like Wanam as its stock ish without bloat. so waiting for wanam!
Reboot after install
Im using CM11.0 and the phone reboots after I click "Install AppOps Root" but seems to work fine with the "Lauch Stock AppOps" option.
Good job. Thank you.
Works great for me running Stock 4.4.2 on Nexus 5.
Can i use this app with ART?

thanks developer
Awesome. I was looking for something like this.
As this changes this system files can we uninstall if we want? I have not installed it yet

It only installs one apk in /system/priv-app/
If you are rooted and have titanium backup or other toolbox you can easily uninstall it (titanium can uninstall system apps); second easiest option is to use ES File Explorer or other root file manager; other ways include adb shell commands (mount / rm), and finally another method that actually doesn't require root is via custom recovery that has a builtin file manager like twrp does... you would mount /system and delete the apk from /system/priv-app

Thanks have titanium backup installed, will just use that if I want to uninstall, good to know for other root apps that I might use in the future
:good:
How does this compare to the likes of XPrivacy. It appears this completely denies the permission which would cause certain apps to crash vs providing random false data.

XPrivacy is way more powerful and allows you to revoke many more permissions, but App Ops although limited, works quite well. You cannot remove network access with it, but I removed location, contacts, vibrate, camera, from some apps, and none crashed so far. I've been using App Ops since it was introduced in Jelly Bean, and still do in KitKat.

I still get a quick reboot and nothing else.
On 4.4.2, rooted and have given the app SuperUser privileges.

If it works, you should see a new app named "App Ops [Root]" in your app drawer. Anyway, which is your ROM?
1. Download Es File Explorer from the Google Play Store.
2. Tick the fast access menu button in the top left corner of Es file explorer(looks like a globe with a picture of a phone in front of it)
3. When the menu pops out click the settings icon in the bottom right .
4. Scroll down to tools settings and click app manager.
5. Go to the last option and tick "(un)install apk automatically"
Es will then do the leg work for you when you want to install an apk, all you have to do is go to the folder in which it was downloaded and click the apk file.
I think this option is a lot easier than other workarounds that involve using google drive or moving the apk to a root folder.
You will need to turn on the root explorer option of Es file explorer for this to work, but if you need this workaround chances are you have an unlocked bootloader and are rooted. To turn on the root explorer click the fast access menu button in the top left corner, scroll down to root explorer ,click to on and grant superuser access.

Congrats Kieran...you have cracked it.....hopefully KK will fix, but this is as good a fix as there is, for root users.....
Thanks man, step up for 1st Prize!! :highfive:
This issue is fixed with the 14.91.11 version on European ROMs - so update to the latest fw version so you don't have to deal with bugs.

you sir just made my night

Hi. I need some help. I would like to add launcher rotation to galaxy s5 stock launcher (g900f). Currently I am running Phoenix Rom ( Great rom, by the way). I have tried lots of modded touchwiz launchers but none of them has that feature. Please help.
You need to be root. If you r not root then try rooting your device. Search it on Google. I have tried this method in my phone and it worked so i am telling to you. I dont take responsibility for any damages you cause to your own phone. Keep the backup of the stock ROM if you screw the things up. Use a cwm or twrp recovery to backup . If you do not have it try searching it on google.
1) Navigate to the folder "/data/"
Press Menu, New, File, then name it "local.prop" (without the double quotes).
2) Add the following line to it in the editor...
Code:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

Method 2
Root mandatory
Install xposed framework follow this guide
http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-xposed-framework-your-samsung-galaxy-s5-0155684/
After installing it open modules. Search Xposed GEL settings.
Download and install it
Enable the module ( you can find it in modules check the box )
Reboot
Open Xposed GEL settings
In menu click general
Turn on auto rotate
See the screen shot
Full reboot ( Just turn off and turn on your device)

Thanks for quick response, but I need rotation for touchwiz launcher
Can you please explain what exactly this means ? Im not sure i understand what the behavior will be if i enable launcher rotation? Whats the difference from just enabling rotation in the normal way?
It means home screen rotation
I am looking for a way to delete the "lock screen" bullet on the device administrative privileges on one of the apps I have installed. What folder it would be in or where I could edit it. Root Explorer or sql editor. Thank you.

Enter Safe mode (On most newer devices it's by pressing long on the power off button, Or do a google search for your specific device on how to enter Safe mode)
Then go to security device admin and uncheck it then you should be able to delete that app.
Good luck
I don't want to delete the app, I want to edit what is in the device administrator's list.... ie... "lock the screen"
One of the reason I wanted to upgrade my HTC One A9 to nougat was the multi window feature which I enjoyed on stock Samsung tochwiz..using my phone without it was very difficult.. Now I want to share with you the easiest way to get multi window feature on your marshmallow device without flashing any zip file or downloading any apk file nor xposed module..
Requirements:
1. Root access
2. Buildprop editor.
Download buildprop editor from the Google playstore, launch the app and grant it root access... scroll down under BUILD INFO scroll and locate ro.build.type, click on ro.build.type you will find "user" edit and change "user" to "userdebug" and click save, reboot your phone. After you reboot your device, enter developer option..scroll down and find Multi window and enable it.. then enjoy multi window...
Note: this should work on all stock rooted marshmallow devices.
