[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figofuture:
somebody had found a way to work round the google's mask code,

If you activated developer mode in your KITKAT device, connect your device to PC and then try the following command.

% adb shell am start -n com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings \

-e :android:show_fragment com.android.settings.applications.AppOpsSummary \

--activity-clear-task --activity-exclude-from-recents

The new way invokes AppOps fragment via the Setting app!!

Of course, you can invoke AppOps from your application.

Intent intent = new Intent();

intent.setClassName("com.android.settings",

"com.android.settings.Settings");

intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);

intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);

intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK |

Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK |

Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);

intent.putExtra(":android:show_fragment",

"com.android.settings.applications.AppOpsSummary");

startActivity(intent);

Found an ap ops starter that works with 4.4

4.3+ AppOps work with KitKat

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.schlenke.tools.hiddensettings
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockingondrums:
I updated my rating your app in the store now that it's updated. And your app is 20kb after install which is still smaller than the first working app that was posted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinken:
Does app ops make any difference?

I tried to play around with permissions location and keep awake to reduce wake locks but with no luck at all. To test I removed permissions for camera and sound recording for fb messenger but I could still take a picture or record voice in the fb messenger app. Shouldn't it get a FC when the permissions in lacking?

I'm on Nexus 4 KitKat btw.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mertzi:
I tried the same with facebook messenger and I get the same result as you. Weird thing is it still says "never used" for camera. But I do have noticed a difference for "keep awake". I had a lot of battery drainage, especially for android system, and after I disabled keep awake in app ops it stopped. I haven't read much about what app ops is supposed to do. A theory is that the permissions only is about non active usage, i.e. not allowing apps to do stuff "behind our back" so to speak.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinken:
OK, so I'm not alone. Will test to change keep awake for android system, although it's android OS that is draining my battery mostly.

I wish I could agree with your theory but I don't see why fb messenger would need permission to use camera etc. when I'm not using the app. So there must be some other explanation why changing permissions doesn't seem to affect fb messenger.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sordna:
On 4.3 app ops actually works. For example if I revoke contacts from the phone app, it tells me I have 0 contacts. Same with the camera ... if I revoke camera access from say Google Goggles and run it, it reports "Camera Error".

Can you try these tests on 4.4 ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinken:
That works on 4.4, when I revoke "read contacts" for people app it says that I have no visible contacts.

Makes it even more strange that fb messenger can perform actions even with permission revoked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sordna:
Maybe the App Ops camera option is broken in kitkat? Can you try Google Goggles or a barcode scanner app to see if it can deny camera access?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinken:
When I revoke camera permission Goggles doesn't work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sordna:
I wonder if the fb app then is running a helper program or service that you also need to find in app ops and disable the camera for it.

Or it could be a bug in app ops after all, if fb can still access your camera.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinken:
No, not that either. I have disabled all permissions for fb (main app). That's the first thing I do after installing it ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mertzi:
just a heads up, app ops is now removed again in 4.4.2 so don't upgrade if you want to keep it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sordna:
For rooted users this app works on 4.4.2:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colortiger.appopsinstaller

One more reason to root, along with getting battery stats, setting airplane mode with apps, and other stuff Google has taken away over time :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mertzi:
Android 4.4.3 is out, has anyone updated and know if app ops still works?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mertzi:
App ops still works after OTA update to 4.4.3 on my Nexus 7. I didn't need to re-install it nor re-root. I don't know if it will work on a fresh 4.4.3 but I'm getting a nexus 5 this week and will update it before installing app ops to find out this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mertzi:
App ops works on a fresh 4.4.3. I also noticed that app ops isn't removed if you do a factory reset. You don't even have to reroot for it to work afterwards. To me this says that it really is supposed to be included in Android but Google removed it for some unexplainable reason.

actually i bought my XL around 1 month before...and i wanted to root my XL...should i root or not..??

i am confused as i have bought it recently..!!

plz help..!!
[Sony Xperia L] Pr3no:
Is there anything that you want to do on your phone but you can't because it requires root? Then you should.

If nothing you ever do requires root then there's no point in rooting.
[Sony Xperia L] omkarmahananda:
actually i want to install apps in my sd card & to install all the apps directly to the sd card & also transfer all the obb file to sd....but without rooting these all are quite impossible...!!!

obb file can be moved to sd card but the game installed can't be played...!!!!!

so i m wondering is it best to root my recently bought XL....!!!

actually my main point is that "should i root my XL as it new for me(i have only used for only 1 month)"
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
I buy my phone before 5-6 days and yesterday I root it, because I want to use Xposed framework. For me there is no point to unlock it yet, because there is lack of kernels and roms. Will unlock it when cm10.x rom is stable and usable. So all is up to your needs.
[Sony Xperia L] omkarmahananda:
thans a lot for your help
[Sony Xperia L] Pr3no:
By the way I just rooted my phone (on Android 4.1 I couldn't because I couldn't unlock my bootloader) and it's worth it just because the Xposed Framework. There were some things that annoyed me or some things that I missed from the phone, but with Xposed I could customize it the way I wanted.
[Sony Xperia L] nathXD:
Like what they said, if you want to do something on your phone that requires root, the do it.

If your concern is about the warranty, you can always unroot your device anytime, anywhere :good:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZyreHD:
Hey XDA,

I'm tempted to install a kernel on my Nexus 4. This is the first time doing a Kernel (already have the nexus 5 rom) but what I was wondering is:

How will I get the stock kernel (3.1.0 if im right?) back on the phone when I want to undo things?

Is it as simple as doing a stock recovery or something else. From what I think recovery is only for the OS and not kernel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
You just dirty flash your current rom. (flash it, then wipe cache and dalvik)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its pointless wiping dalvik and cache, as they get wiped when you flash the rom. also, if just flashing a kernel, wiping dalvik and cache have nothing to do with it, so no need to wipe.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZyreHD:
Same process that I did before installing the Nexus 5 port rom? Trough clockwork etc? If yes then I know what you mean!

Can I install Franko kernel trough clockwork ? or..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Yes. Go into recovery (clockworkmod), and simply flash the rom. Like simms22 said, wiping cache and dalvik isnt necessary, but it wont hurt anyone :)

Franco packages his kernel as a boot.img (which is installed using fastboot) and as a zip (which is flashable via recovery). Pick the one that you want and install it using the appropriate method.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZyreHD:
Alright and when I want to remove everything and go back to stock via clockwork then it will also remove the custom kernel?

:fingers-crossed:

Mind telling me which link I need? I have this rom installed:

Only see a 4.2.2 only link at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2002782
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
whenever you flash any rom, it removes the custom kernel, replaces it with the one from the rom(until you flash it again).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZyreHD:
Added some more information. If you mind taking a look.

So just to make sure I understand. When I go into clockwork and whip the phone etc etc it will also whip the custom ROM AND custom Kernel.

So when it boots back into stock android again it also has the original kernel that the nexus 4 was running on?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
ytes, if you flash the stock rom again, itll include the stock kernel.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

from what i understand, most 4.3 kernels will boot on the hybrid 4.4 roms that are out right now, including the port. now ive heard that jwr kernels arent smooth on the 4.4 hybrid roms/ports, but jss kernels run great.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZyreHD:
Cool then I understand :laugh:

Last thing before I attempt it, do you know which link or file I need?

flash franciscos jss/jls kernel for the nexus 5 port
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZyreHD:
Alright I downloaded the lastest JSS file which is a img but when I'm in clockwork and have the file on my phone it doesn't see it?

I went to zip from sdcard.

Or do I need to package the img into a zip file? OR is it something that has to be done trough the cmd? Hope not as clockwork is faster.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
img files get flashed via fastboot and your desktop.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZyreHD:
I got it flashed but now I have a never ending boot animation?

I fastbooted into the bootloader and then flashed it via the cmd. Then I booted with me now sitting here with a never ending animation.

Maybe power it down and then on?

Powering it down and on again isn't working :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
reflash your rom. the kernel might not be working on the rom then, trinity kernel does :) http://goo.gl/QtuabY
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZyreHD:
Problem now is that the phone is in USB debugging so my PC won't see the phone. When USB debugging is disabled it does.

Meaning now I can't put the zip on the phone?

How do I get the stock kernel again? Do I need to reinstall the Nexus 5 port or?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes, reflash the port, dont wipe anything.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZyreHD:
It worked. It booted now! I didnt even know the apps would still be there :o
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
thats why we say to dirty flash. if you flash without wiping anything, your apps and data remain. if you wipe data before flashing, you lose your apps and data.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZyreHD:
I see.

Alright I have had a blast with the kernels and roms but now is my biggest hurtle. How do I remove clockwork and revert back to stock? If you mind explain in detail.

One where you also remove clockwork and one where clockwork just stays on the phone but have stock again.

I can't get it to work :/ get errors etc

I dunno wuts wrong with my universal (it's JasJar Actually)... I have a Cadillac and it doesn't connect with car's bluetooth.. it always says connection faliure... same goes with all pocket PC's I tried

While other phones.. Nokia, siemens, sonyericsson does connect...

Wuts the problem?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] cmartin:
This will probably be because of the fact that your car kit only supports the "Hands-free" profile. I have a T-Mobile MDA Pro (also JasJar make) and have the same problem. As long as Windows Mobile only supports the "Headset" profile we won't have any luck.

I have read that M$ is planning a WM5 update/patch that adds Hands-free profile support, but I haven't seen any releases out there that include this.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
I'm sure Seidio will have one soon. I plan on getting a Convert as soon as they're available. Get the slimness of a tpu case for everyday use, then slap on the extras for heavy duty protection when needed. Best of both worlds.

You really shouldn't put a phone on a belt clip...

The Nexus 4 fit perfectly in the leather holster that BlackBerry released for the Z10. Based on the posted dimensions, I'm hoping that the Nexus 5 will fit in the holster for the Z30.

Easy. Phones on belt clips are ridiculous. Anything that I mentioned should be avoided. All of them look ridiculous. Just ask your girlfriend or wife, they know. Besides, it's 2013 not 1999.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
My wife uses an otterbox on her iphone. Granted, without the belt clip but as with most women she throws the phone in her purse.

I always either had a naked iphone with seidio spring clip holster or seidio surface + kickstand and holster.

Either way, I'm not worried about the next man so you do as you want, I'll keep doing the same.

dont listen to these ppl making fun of belt clips. i always have one and i always will. having my precious phone just sloshing around in my pocket with dust/lint/keys/whatever will NEVER happen. having said that, i have no idea whats wrong with Seidio. they are always so far behind everyone else with their cases/clips. N5 has been leaked for months. hell, i probably could have engineered one by now with the detailed specs that were leaked out (wish i had a damn 3d printer). hopefully soon...

I have used Seidio holsters since the HTC Sensation. I have used the N4 Active holster for the N4 with bumper and works to this day. Pic attached.

I'll try it out on my existing Seidio N4 holsters and report back when I get my N5 in the coming weeks. Unless of course, someone beat me to it.

I use belt clips only for the work week. I work in the office and it's the best way to transport it, rather than pocket it. I have keys and such that will scratch anything, even GG3. I hate pocket lint on my phones. I hate it as much as you with the fanny pack lol.

Not sure if you are looking for a case that also had a belt clip but if you want a holster that clips on to your belt I just ordered this one.

I have a Seidio Surface case + holster for S3. Just did some eye-balling from my naked N4 in it. I believe a naked N5 will fit in it... perhaps not so snug. I have a Ringke Slim coming next week. That should be enough to fill the small gap, and protect the back of the phone from the holster clip.

Belt Clip

Eyesore or not, with the size and cost of smart phones they go on a belt clip. Especially for work, it's a godsend! Jeans are getting tighter and phones are getting bigger! I'm not letting my expensive phone get all scratched and crushed in a tight pocket. Make fun all you want I am beyond the age of caring.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bmolloy:
I am a fan of belt clips as well, but only because they completely cover the screen. Not everybody that has a phone sits in an office or classroom all day with the biggest risk to the phone being if it is dropped on the floor when you're fingers are covered with mayonnaise at lunch and you try to send a text.

I work for the FD so I need a little more protection for my phones. When I throw my phone in the engine or in a turnout pocket I want to have the glass covered. It is a pretty good feeling to have your expensive phone wrapped up in an Otterbox Defender in the holster, it is kind of like a giant indestructible hockey puck. I know lots of other people feel the same way... Now, where did I put my fanny pack?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
I'm really hoping Seidio releases a Convert case soon. Nice slim Surface case for lite everyday troubles,,,,, then snap on the heavy duty stuff and belt clip when mountain biking, weightlifting, and doing hard work that requires dirty hands. Best of both worlds.

yea thanks guys... dont no where these other dudes came from to say belt clips.. are like wearing a fanny pack:rolleyes: went to the sprint store and best buy and no one has cases from this phone yet.... i noy going to order one because i HATE ordeing stuff from online.. thinking they will get some stuff in soon since sprint will be selling the phone on the 8th
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
there are the two shown on amazon that have been referenced earlier. ive ordered both but it doesnt seem like i'll get them until late next week. in the meantime there's a generic holster type belt case also on amazon (search for nexus 5 belt and its there) that is in stock and i'll have it tomorrow as a stopgap.

as an aside, i emailed seidio and they were very vague. not sure they actually have plans to release a case for N5 at this point, and if they do it won't be for a while i'd say. looks like one of the 3 above options are the way to go in the short term. i'll report back when i start getting them and using them
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Seidio is pretty active using Twitter, so you can go there and ask away if someone hasn't already :P.
