There's no way to disable that, short of rebuilding the entirety of the system from scratch and disabling debugging (not really feasible). As far as I've seen and as far as I know, there's no need for any apps to monitor logs, so none should need permissions to them. System apps should not have permissions to the logs, but it's possible that some may have them. Userspace apps really should never need to read your logs, you can see what permissions an app requires when you install it, this is the best way to manage permissions.

How do I switch launchers?

Thank you for taking my question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lynk128:
You get one from the market, either paid or free. Some examples... go launcher, adw launcher. Once installed, press the home button and you get two options.. Tw launcher or the one you just installed, make the one you installed default.

Then that's it. Though you might want to disable the tw launcher from an app like titanium backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paleman27:
Thank you for taking my question. Maybe it didn't came out right. What I meant to ask was that once I have a few launchers on my phone how do I switch from on to another?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lynk128:
Oh I see now. Once you pick a launcher to launch by default I don't know how to get that little pop up back... but.. I know that when a launcher updates you get that little pop up back. It happened to my dad, he was stuck like that for a day when it updated automatically on him, I had to set his launcher to a default again.

dunno if you're up for re-installing one?? or putting another one to get that little pop up back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zueda:
Go into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, select the launcher you are currently using then select the Clear Defaults button. You shoud get prompted to select a launcher when you press the home button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] madquack:
Download the App homeswitcher if you want to have and use multiple Launchers. You can easily switch between ADW, LPP, ADW Ex, and other stuff on the fly.

[Android Apps and Games] TiNNiT:
Hi, I'm looking for an app that can create a list of apps based on the permissions of my choosing.

All of the programs that give insight in permissions / danger levels etc are somewhat static in the way they operate. It is either showing the permissions of a single app, or all apps with that one permission, or are using their own method of calculating the danger level of an app.

I for one think it is much more interesting to see which apps are posing a threat to my privacy or the privacy of my contacts, while others find it interesting to see which apps can cost you money.

If it would be possible to choose one or more permissions to create the list, rather then let the app do it for you, it then would be possible to look at the permissions from different perspectives (possible costs, privacy, security etc).

Perhaps some pre-defined perspectives can be delivered as well, but the main goal should be that you can select any number of permissions and then a list is presented with all the apps that have those permissions.

Any one know of such a program or is interested in developing one?
[Android Apps and Games] buzzboy:
Hi,

My top recommendations:

LBE

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.lbe.security.lite

Permissions denied

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.stericson.permissions

Both give good overviews, and the ability to change permissions, but LBE also acts as a permission firewall also, and blocks and notifys you of any strange behavior from any apps and then proceeds, or denies the apps request, thus giving you complete control.

highly recommended.

Hope it's a start.

Edit:

Another one for consideration:

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] backhead92:
Another one:

YOu can select which permissions to check. For instance internet + reading sms is dangerous, but reading sms isn;t dangerous on it's own.

This apps let;s you choose your own set of what you mark as dangerous

[Android Apps and Games] TiNNiT:
This sounds like what I'm looking for. I will give it a try, but I also mailed the dev why the app needs the permission to read the phone state & identity and internet access (even the paid version).

Reason for asking is this: I have installed over 150 apps and I recently noticed that when ever I make a call, my 3g-connection becomes active. Up when I start the call, up/down after the call. I really want to know which apps does this and to narrow down the list of apps that could do this it feels a bit strange to add yet another one which has the potential of doing it;-)

I already have aSpotcat, but the reason for my (re)quest(ion) was that I want to see all the apps that have the permission to read my phone state/identity or contacts and also have internet access. The combination of these permissions pose a much bigger threat than just the permission to read my contacts.

With aSpotcat you have to do this manually per permission or app.

The description of LBE is something I look forward to when I will root my Nexus S.....if I ever dare;-)

Thx for all the suggestions so far!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldi3rxx:
So I called Radio Shack today and the store manager told me I can come down and buy one. Drove there and she brings it from the back and proceeds to ring me up and activate the line (I didn't know it was micro sim card btw), She was having trouble activating my line so she called Verizon and they activated it for me. I turned on the phone, logged on to my google account and was using the phone to text and make a couple of calls. The whole time I thought she would remember she wasn't suppose to sell but no one even said anything UNTIL....continue reading

Here's the sad part. It comes time to pay for the phone and she tries to ring it up in Radio Shack system but it won't let her. She tries a couple more times and it still won't let her. Meanwhile I still have the phone in my hand and texting some friends. She proceeds to call another Radio Shack and that's when I knew the gig was up, cause I had called the same store earlier and they told me it wasn't for sale. So when she got off the phone with him, she proceeded to tell me it wasn't for sale yet and that she will hold it for me. She felt so bad and of course I was frustrated but she will be holding the phone for me until this coming sunday when *supposedly* it will go on sale. SO we shall see.

Playing with the phone it is still running 4.0.1, I should of click update to see if anything would of came through but the phone seems nice and can't wait till it drops.

Here's a video

welcome to the club, same thing happened to me Saturday. Supposedly a guy on androidforums got around the POS system today, and the manager just sold it to him with a written reciept lol , I can wait
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
That's why you carry cash, fake an emergency, and run out the door with it, slapping down the cash on your way out.

When she said she would hold the phone for you, I wouldst said, how about you put the money in an envelope and hold that for a few days.

-sent from temp HTC Rezound waiting for Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
This. Then again, we've heard this exact story many times already lol it's the way RadioShack has been handling it.

Also, the woman sounds attractive. Why was she not included in the video? Everybody's seen video of the phone...guessing not many people have seen video of her.

You guys still don't have your GNs? haha I couldn't be any happier with this phone. You guys might want to look into getting a spare battery when it becomes available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldi3rxx:
I thought they had a 2100 battery with a special battery cover. Holding the phone its pretty thin so i wouldn't mind a bigger battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
They do, and I'm getting it, as well. The extra weight/thickness would be great.

Actually, currently having a Rent-a-Rezound, the *only* thing I like about the phone is the physical size/weight. The software is crap and eats battery like crazy, but the phone *feels* perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
according to the two guys that got them at best buy yesterday on ac they said they picked up the extended battery afterwords at vzw and comes with an extra door but you wont need it, it doesnt add any thickness to the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldi3rxx:
Is there a price

As a Verizon Wireless store manager I can't believe CS is putting stuff through for people. I believe these agents (bestbuy, Radioshack, etc.) are using a system called COOS which is like their own internal call center. Very surprised COOS (which are verizon wireless employees) are pushing this through either.

Yes, Like others have said. I would have faked an emergency and said listen.. Write down my cc number, here's my info. Call me if you need me and ill stop back in.

*Scratches head at "Sunday"*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
wait i got my gn from radioshack too so can i go pick up the extended battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldi3rxx:
lol idk I just took "Sunday" as a grain of salt and walked out in such disappointment and i didn't have cash but i was willing to leave my cc number so she can just charge me when its out. O well just patiently wait. What date have you been told?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.duct_mossburg:
Yeah, I'm patiently waiting like everyone else. Not responding to the last question.. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldi3rxx:
REALLY, thats not cool
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
REALLY, why would he know? lol nobody knows for certain, but the people that have the most respectable contacts are saying the 15th. Believing this random guy on an internet forum has any more of a precise date than the rest of the country is laughable.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
You've been told dates just like every other nobody that works for Verizon. Not to belittle you or your position, but your position in relevance to knowing launch information is exactly last. I'm not saying you don't know the date, but you don't have any more firm information than any other store employee (clarification: none).

Really not meaning to be rude with that, but honestly...since the beginning of this fiasco we've had at least 20-30 store employees come into the various threads and say they have more information than anyone else...in reality you're at the same level *WE* are, in terms of knowing any information.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.duct_mossburg:
To be honest, I could care less. The phone will come out when it does, but just to clarify for your know it all attitude (because that's exactly what it is); It doesn't have to do with being "in the know". It has to do with more than just one or two things. When release dates get pushed back like this (when certain items like cases, etc. have been sitting in stores for weeks) it's do to multiple different variables. The difference between you and I is that I know and understand why things are being pushed back. So when you and your other little internet know it all's come into the store and wink your eyes and whisper dates that you've read on the internet and think I'm going to pull out the secret hand shake, I just laugh.

Verizon isn't a manufacture of a tangible item, Therefore it's not like there's a higher up that knows the magical dates. It's being pushed back due to multiple reasons. To be perfectly honest with you, No one above the store level really gives a flying **** about the phone and couldn't probably tell you the difference between this and the stratosphere. If you worked for any level of Verizon you would know that no one outside of the store channels care's one bit. Therefore they don't sit behind their desk all gitty with knowledgeable information. See, unlike what you suspect, They're going to want the store level to know as soon as possible so that way we can insure that we have all staff on deck.

So claim that you aren't trying to take the light here when all other signs point to the neon lit sign... "I've learned everything from the internet and am so E-smart".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spectredroid:
Really, all this proves is that Verizon doesn't care about anything but itself. Not even employees. By itself I mean the executive fatcats who are messing this up because of Google wallet. That is the software issue, something is in the software that Big Red can't use to pilfer all the last dimes from their customers. The way they have handled this launch is as stupid and obscenely greedy as how expensive the xyboard is. Sadly, I like you and many of us are waiting to give them our money for the nexus. So, on the 15th, and by the 15th I mean an undetermined date in the future or past or whatever, we will all line up with our 300 bucks for the sought after unicorn. I am paying with cash. That I used as a diaper. That way the money is as dirty as the company receiving it. :beer: That wasn't over the top was it? I can never tell. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] True2TheGame:
Woooooo that's what i call a good roast. Either way i've waited this long for the phone i don't mind waiting a little longer. Shame that they didn't include the extended battery to begin with
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
At least you guys have the option for an extended battery , people with the GSM version, like myself , don't have a compatible extended battery. All we can do, if need be, is grab a spare one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.duct_mossburg:
There a greater picture and reasoning to the delay than what is leaked to the internet. As I’ve explained before; there seems to be more than just one reason. These kinds of things aren’t filtered to the store level not because we “aren’t important enough” but because it doesn’t pertain to us. Our job is not to know everything about the Nexus and its release. Our job is to maintain a success store. To be completely honest, Big launch items like this typically don’t make store personnel jack because of product cost and revenue (subsidy). I’ve heard a lot of rumors on Google Wallet. Has anyone ever stopped to think about liabilities? Other binding contracts VZW could have elsewhere? Etc.? The wallet is great for Google but really doesn’t bring much to Verizon except for headaches of customer related issues. Google doesn’t have a store to go to or a direct line to answer. Please, I know it’s natural but stop jumping the gun.

The Harsh reality is that Verizon Wireless is a business. While the object is for all customers’s to be happy, anyone who has worked in a similar environment would know that it’s impossible. You have to understand that the reason Verizon “doesn’t care about you” is because they’re trying to wrinkle out as many creases as possible. With the way the media is now a days you have to see that with over 100,000,000 customers the 5,000 (probably at most) that are on the forums going crazy is in reality, .000005% of its customer base. So to let something of that size hurt the reputation is not a logical though. To be honest, Verizon could right now scrap this whole project and it would even be drop in the bucket. So as consumer’s we must stop insisting that the big red, or any other major company “owes” us something. You pay money for a service and you have a choice in what service you select. If you don’t like the way that service is being provided, you have the option to choose another service. That’s what America is about. Now since I know this is not what any of you want to hear, Lets all go wait in line! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjgarbz:
I don't know. That is a lot of counter-argument for not caring. Sounds like you mad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
First of all, if you didn't care less you wouldn't have posted more than 2 paragraphs.

Secondly, I don't have a know-it-all-attitude. I wasn't saying you don't know anything because you're a peon...I was saying the exact same thing you stated: You don't know because you don't *have* to know. In that regard, you know almost nothing more than us...which is also in agreement with what you said. I'm not talking about any secret handshake or friendship circle that we both belong to...quite the opposite.

I'm more debating against the people that come in to threads like this and put you on a pedestal just because you're eventually going to be selling something they want. I never claimed to be so smart...I just professed to know exactly as much as you do, which is nothing. Why? Because this is the ****ing internet.

There's a reason corporate Verizon doesn't tell store employees anything until they want everyone else to know...because you're all basically entry-level employees. In the corporate world, people don't usually go around telling everyone they know about their secrets, but in an entry-level position...why would people care? They're not telling the stores because they don't want the world to be pissed if it changes...again.

So, once again, this has nothing to do with my know-it-all attitude. I don't profess to know everything...I just profess to know exactly as much as you, because if Verizon actually put out a big date, the internet would know about it...because entry-level retail store employees don't give two ****s about Verizon policy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldi3rxx:
Okay guys thanks for your input but enough
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Oh, and I think you *severely* overstate my requirement to get this phone as early as possible. I'm not at all one of those people that has been calling Verizon every day complaining. I got my Rent-a-Rezound and I'll be waiting patiently until it comes out. My complaints about Verizon are shared with a different crowd, for different reasons.

My complaints here aren't that you're getting our hopes up and crushing them...merely that people like you are coming in here to tell everybody what you know...but in reality it's not much.

Oh, and I know how business works, thanks. I'm involved in multi-million deals multiple times per month. When I said I wasn't trying to belittle your position I meant in regards to this conversation...I managed stores bigger than a Verizon store when I was still in college. Get off your ridiculous high horse.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panzerapple:
When and if the Nexus gets released is anyone else curious about why the device was actually delayed. I know it is costing big red a fair amount of money with all the rent a rezounds and razors out there that will be returned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
But there are also plenty of people that purchased one of those devices with the intent to exchange it for a Nexus...then changed their mind and decided they'd be fine keeping them. Verizon wants a return on their investments into those 2 brands moreso than making a bit of money off of Google's product (where Google is the one heavily invested).

My guess is it's a mix between the 4G outage, delays on some shipments, and sales figures for the other 2 main devices they're selling right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldi3rxx:

Here are some:

When I install a theme, it doesn't change the wallpaper? Afaik it only changes the clock and the icons. I tried using LunarUi and ICS themes.

How long should the battery usually last? It was at 100% last night. I installed some apps, played around with the settings, used the alarm a few times and I'm already at 30% life.

Is there a list of all the notification icons somewhere? I found a picture that showed most of them, but not all.

Can I change the time it takes when I hold down an icon before it takes action? For example, moving icons around.

Can I set a different wallpaper for when the phone switches to landscape mode?

Sometimes I accidentally hide the quicklaunch bar. Can I lock it?
