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

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?

same for me. i can only run "Launch Stock AppOps", install method causes restart with no change. I can change permissions though, which is nice. (running codefirex ROM, android 4.3 on Oppo Find 5 - couldnt find app ops option in this ROM )
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?
I have SuperSU v2.40 on CM11S. Initially when I started using apps that required root worked with the prompt. I was trying to give root permission to MultiROM Manager via the prompt and for some reason the prompt window is unresponsive to taps/touches. This problem also happens in any new app that also requires root access. I tried disabling the prompt and selecting the option to grant all apps root permission and that seems to solve the problem, but obviously that is not something I'd like to use on a daily basis. Is this a known issue with SuperSU? What should I do to fix this? Re-install? I did not find any way to add apps to the SuperSU list manually (on the non-Pro version), is there one?
I installed root by flashing it through TWRP (2.8.4.1) after completely restoring back to CM11S (44S, Stock Kernel) via fastboot couple of days back.
UPDATE: The problem was with Tapjacking protection under SuperSU's Settings. Switched off temporarily, gave some apps the root permission and switched it back on.
UPDATE 2: The problem was because of Lux. The app controls the brightness by putting an overlay which prevents you from tapping the SuperSU prompt.
Came here to say exactly what you found out lol glad you figured it out
If you ever have issues trying to install an apk in the future, it's due to the same thing with lux. Disable it temporarily and you will be able to click the install button for the apk.

I can't log into Snapchat on my OnePlus one. This has started very recently, after a factory reset.
My account is not locked, as I have logged in on my iPhone. I did try to unlock it however to no avail.
I have no 3rd party Snapchat apps installed.
Some apps I have that might be causing the problem:
Titanium backup
Magisk manager (with magisk hide enabled)
Catlog
FX file explorer
Rom: resurrection remix (6/20 update)
Kernel: resurrection kernel
A0001(bacon)
yeah its because of root, UNroot then log in then root again. its the most simple way.
I Found the reason and the resolution in the OnePlus 3T forum:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/snapchat-fail-login-root-t3571405
"Snapchat checks for root and purposely prevents you from logging in if it find it. If you rooted with SuperSU, try installing Chainfire's SUHide. Otherwise, if you rooted with Magisk, enable MagiskHide in Magisk Manager."
It took forever to find this solution, it worked!
I use SU# and it was simple to "unroot" from within the SU# app
1. click on the settings in the upper right, scroll down to the "cleanup" section, select full unroot, accept all the warning messages, the phone will reboot into recovery and then reboot the phone after it finishes. Your phone may cycle through the reboot process a couple of times
2. log back into your phone, then you can log into the Snapchat app.
3. now you can re-root your phone, if you want to.
Cheers.
For me the easiest way was to install SC in other nonrooted device and log in. After that, use Titanium Backup to export the data app, then from the rooted device just import data and that was it.

I wonder why they have such dumb policies.Can't they just simply increase their encryption level? Other social apps don't have any issues with root and they're also secure af!
hi, newbie here...
i bought this S8+ (SM-955FD) for my son, flashed latest TWRP, flashed latest stable Jesse's Kernel (Exynos) and rooted usning TWRP the latest Magisk.
am trying to install a monitoring app in this device (mainly to monitor my son) :angel: .
the problem is when ever I give a simple restart (reboot); this app disappears from device !!!!! like its being removed automatically.
what i have done is installed 3C toolbox and granted Root permissions and removed the following:
- device maintenance.
-device security.
-All KNOX.
further more; disabled Google play protect. device is working just fine with better battery life.
now every time a install the app and check that it's working and functioning fine. after a simple restart the app disappears or i can say deleted automatically.
what can delete the app (considering that its a malware)!! even though all security features are removed???!?!?
thanks in advance
Hi,
I have BV9800Pro with Android Pie (MediaTek P70) and now I noticed that after reboot, some banking apls and lockmypix app has problem with fingerprint. Jf I go to settings, remove it and add it again, then all is ok again with all apls, but after reboot, banking apps + lockmypix dows not allow for me to unlock uaing fingerprint because "biometric data changed" as one app tells me.
Any ideas? Has any one had such issue? How to fix this?
P.S., i Have tried ro disable xposed and magisk, nothing helped, only factory reset, but after that, I couldn't identify what caused this issie to come back again.
P.P.S., if I have let's say 2 fingerprints saved, and delete any of them, all appa back to normal until I reboot.

Any idea what might caused it? P.S., previously I have flashed the complete rom except userdata partition, and the issie was still there. Even if I disable all magic modules and xposed as well, the issue remain.
Has anyone faced something like that? Personally, I think some file is being overwritten after reboot and it might cause this issue. That's the only logical explanation I can figure out.
