I also have a question about Get Games. There are icons on that screen but when I click on any of them, they all say "No Content". Shouldn't clicking on the icon launch the Market to download them, or show a video or do something? And what is funandgames.apk? Thanks!

Yes you can remove those without worry but then your games launcher won't have the get games tab anymore but everything will still work fine

[Q] Permissions management & protection

Hi
I've tried and looked for several apps to manage the app permissions: LBESM, Pdroid, XPrivacy and so on...
Some apps don't work correctly and others aren't compatible with AOSP 4.2.2.
I'd like to have your point of view to have trust app to manager the permissions and if possible (or another app) to identify possible malwares.
Atm the better one for Permissions mangement is "Permissions Management" available in my Rom and BitDefender Mobile Security for malwares.
Thanks.
PS: I know that several topics already deal with this subject but I'd like to discuss with fresh information and compatible (AOSP 4.2.2 + Note II).

I would recommend you to use ROM toolbox.
it has inbuilt auto start manager which helps you to manage permissions efficiently.

Thanks, I'll have a look soon.
What is the exact option?
Edit
I found it.
Other ideas ?

[CLOSED][XPOSED](1.0.2) Disable Carrier IQ Mod (CIQ)

Update:
I decided to close this project. Disable the Carrier IQ service is simply easiest and safest way than trying to hook service methods. I recommend to download Disable Service App and use it.
Original text:
I found the Carrier IQ client library inside framework files on my internation D802. Quite bad surprise as I thought such "feature" is usually in US-only versions.
com.carrieriq.iqagent.client is hidden inside /system/framework/telephony-common.odex.
Anyway, I don't like to have this code sleeping there and waiting for something to activate it. I didn't find any Carrier IQ service running on D802, but I simply don't like that LG put/left support for it there.
This Mod will hook these IQClient methods:
Code:
shouldSubmitMetric
reportKeyCode
checkSMS
checkWAPPush
These methods will always return FALSE, which I believe means do not submit or report anything.
Then this Mod will replace this IQService method:
Code:
onCreate
And make it simply call stopSelf();, which will stop it just before it even start.
You can download my mod here: Removed
If you are looking for other method to disable Carrier IQ on your device, you can follow freebee269 steps here.
1 March - Update:
Project closed.
10 Dec - Update:
AT&T ROM contain libiq_client.so and libiq_service.so native Carrier IQ libraries inside /system/lib and there is com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService library inside /system/framework/com.lge.core.odex. I'm looking into disabling the IQService now.
12 Dec - Update:
Added CIQ Service smali source code (from com.lge.core) and CIQ Client smali source code (from telephony-common) as attachment. Released version 1.0.2 with IQService detection and disabling.

Please try and launch it. Application will first detect if that library is present in your system. Then it will check if these methods are there.
Like I wrote before, I think whole Carrier IQ is working in AT&T ROM = D800 as it have native libraries in /system/lib/ folder. Other LG G2 versions without this native libraries have only support, but no service actually running. At least I could not see any similar service running on my D802.

Thank you, I know these libraries from other XDA forums, but I could not find it inside AT&T framework files as I need to know which methods they have declared inside. Anyway, do you have AT&T stock rooted version?

Well, sorry for confusion. That first part is only for detection of CIQ library. Maybe I should add some indication that Mod is already applied to make it clear. Anyway, enabling it is the last step, so you did well.

I just found that com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService is hidden inside /system/framework/com.lge.core.odex on AT&T ROM (D800). My D802 doesn't have such code. I will begin to look into disabling this service now.

another way you can disable CIQ on d800 is if you are stock rooted you can go to the play store and download an app called disable service. it's free and doesnt run in the background. open the app and swipe to the left to get to the system apps tab. then click on android system. inside android system, uncheck IQService. then reboot your phone. CIQ should now be disabled.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, there are multiple ways how to achieve that. For example your can execute few commands in shell to disable that activities. I know about that.
I'm trying to do it another way by using great Xposed framework, explore internal CIQ functionality and then disable it piece by piece. It's always better to have multiple choices.

Yeah, sure. I could do that tonite (original CIQ smali). There are so many threads about CIQ, but actually nobody post source code of it. It was trouble to get code of IQService as it is not present on my device. My current changes are in OP, IQService changes not done yet.

We just don't get it. Old Xperia L could play it, but the S3 get's no love on the game for some reason,.

Its an issue with 4.3 on the S3 and I don't know why they haven't been able to fix it. I did get it to run a while back but had to install an older version that I knew worked because I used to run it

Yeah the older versions worked perfectly but the new one is not.

This new versions been out for a while. I dont think theyre doing a bug fix.
Ps: does anyone know how to disable the update notification in the old versions. i cant play with data/wifi on because it keep bugging me to update to the new version. it takes me to the market and as you know its "incompetible"

If enough people email the dev it might motivate them to fix it. Especially if everyone starts demanding refunds and leaving poor reviews. No guarantee of course, but its more guaranteed that nothing will happen if no one tries to make it happen!
In app manager most apps have a checkbox for display notifications. Maybe that'll help?

Apps have to be specifically made for this mode, you cannot simple have any app you want for it.
There is an SDK availiable for people to use to make their own apps and some have already been made, search the play store for QuickCircle (or look in the Themes and Apps sub forum!)
