[ MOD ] Enable App Ops in 4.4.2 / KOT49H - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

For those that want access again to App Ops in 4.4.2 / KOT49H (Google's build), just flash this zip. It's for deodex or stock odex and it will work with ART.

How?

Using it on Android 4.4.2 with ART engine. Running just fine!!
Thanks a lot!!
A few more information for others:
Google in 4.4.2 removed entry in Settings app that enabled App Ops applications from Play to actually display App Ops function.
This mod revert back commit that Google did in order to prevent us from using it.
You still need App Ops starting app from Google Play (will not promote any here) that is Android 4.4 compatible!
Don't look for 4.4.2 compatible app on Google Play, as such do not exist. If it would exist, then we wouldn't need this mod. right?

Umm, sorry, but this app still works fine for me (not the native one, but with root permissions).

OK. There is one.
You have to pay for above (in app purchase), then you can use what ever you want.

The Xposed module I mentioned actually adds an entry in the settings for app ops, no extra app needed

That's true. But Xposed is not ART compatible. Yet.
So, thanks go to OP for providing this.

Yes it works for stock rooted N4 deodexed using dalvik. Thanks.

Can you please explain any differences between it and zrgiu's zip ?
Also why is your zip so big (over 5mb) ? The other is less than 2mb.

The zip in the thread you linked is the apk for his apps ops launcher. The zip here is stock the settings apk that has been modded so you can use an apps ops launcher of your choice.

Thanks. So for stock ROMs that like to update via OTA, better use App Ops X instead of this modified settings apk, right?

Most likely this zip will block OTA. I'm not sure about the app linked, but since it now requires root and would probably have to do some modding to function, it wouldn't surprise me if it also blocks OTA. If uninstalling reverts changes, then you would be ok.

Which version do you suggest? please keep in mind it must be run on the stock roms on nexus 4/7/10
There's a thread in this forum with different versions. It seems that there's no one suitable for all, that's why I suggested you different versions to choose
The app uses one apk on all devices .. Some user reports that it is working on s4.
Look at the comments and ratings on play store.
I read the information a few times but now I still not understand what exactly this app is used for? Just install/uninstall AOSP browser?
Sent from my Nexus⁴
I'm a little confused, too. Why does it require root to install an app? Does it install it as a system app or something? Maybe something is lost in translation? Your English is very good, but a few things were a little confusing.
By the way, very thoughtful to make an ad version and a non ad version! I think that's a great idea. If people like your work, they can choose to support it.

Root is required because some system apps in nexus devices blocks the installation.
And yes the aosp browser will be installed as system app.

Wrong thread
Update [2.6] -> Commit-URL on Github
-Fixed crash on uninstall.
Update [2.5] -> Commit-URL on Github
-Update AOSPBrowser apk to 4.3 (only on 4.3 devices)

AOSP browser without root (yes you read that right) 4.3

I have a method to install the aosp browser without any root privileges at all and no modifications of the system partition. Just involves installing 2 or 3 apks (depending if you want bookmark syncing). This should work on any of the other nexus devices that came without stock browser.
Please don't repost this yet. I want to add in the other languages to browser.apk for the "find on page" button in the menu. I fixed English. The stock nexus roms don't have the string in framework-res for this one button.
Download zip (this is not a cwm package/just extract it or open the files from inside)
http://www.mediafire.com/?f98l0b3apkbb6s1
Steps:
1. Use es file manager to browse to system/app and install browserproviderproxy (it will say app not installed, don't worry it worked) OR install the included file
2. Reboot (it will not work without rebooting first)
3. Install Browser4.3_blackhand1001.apk
4. Install ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter_blackhand1001.apk (this will give you bookmark syncing)
Extras:
User agent selection in Advanced Preferences
Fullscreen Toggle in Labs
Please post if it works for you!!

Sorry fixed it. Moved it to mediafire.

Updated the process. It now should work on all devices. Turns out the signature on browserproviderproxy differs between devices.
Does this work on all devices as well as previous version of android say for example Sony Xperia S running 4.1.2 (comes with stock browser version 4.1.2-N7_zg)?
yep working fine on my nexus7.. though there's no option for full screen.

If you already installed everything you can just install the new signbrowser file. No need to install the others and reboot again.
It seems to work great for me. Thanks.

dumb question, but since this is going in the system folder, will it affect our ability to receive OTA updates?
I don't understand the directions.
Can you make clearer?

Its not going in the system folder. You navigate to folder and open the existing apk to install it. It does not effect OTA updates. I just included another copy of the file for those who don't know where that folder is.

List of apps that not working between stock 4.3 and custom roms like cm10.2

Hello Guys
I wanted to move to cm10.2 since the nightlies start to get official but there is always app or two not working because that mess that google creates for us and the devs by releasing two different branches for Android 4.3
so here is the apps that i have troubles with :
-Light Flow (seems like it's not working on cm10.2)
-Touch control (need module injection enabled on cm kernel or stock modified kernel for build JSS15J or custom kernel like franco and most devs need to enable module injection for the JSS15J kernels)
-Softkeyz (need SuperSu instead of superuser (don't know why the dev made it like that) or your nav bar and status bar will be gone after reboot
it's open for guys and devs to share your experience with this mess that google made with the damn JWR66V and the JSS15J
if there is more apps add them
xposed framework is not working on stock (rooted) nexus 4 with superuser
Stock rooted 4.3:
Snapchat sometimes causes the phone to reboot.
Kik - LED notifications are not working. At all.
Grand Theft Auto:Vice City seems to be crashing on 4.3 I have tried 3 4.3 ROMs (all jss) and it crashes on each, I haven't tried stock but people in the review section on the play store are saying it still crashes

I have been using the xposed module zip from this section and it is working perfectly with cm10.2 . Also I have lightflow installed and it is working fine. Have you enabled lightflow in accessibility and the new notifications listener tab?

How to make believe the tab s tablet is an android smartphone?

Hello,
I would like to install an application from the playstore (which is the same apk for tablet and smartphone I think: there are is no separate/dedicated application for smartphone and for tablet) and make believe the application when running on my tablet that it is running on a smartphone and not on a tablet.
How to do this?
Thanks

typically a custom rom or if rooted in combination with build prop edits.. you can change build prop to phone info.. i do not believe there is any app that will trick it to thinking its a phone...
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Free mobile app
Do you mean that the store won't let you install the app on the tablet because it's only for phones? You could just install in on a phone and copy the apk out, they'll all be stored in \data\app I did this with my bank app. You don't need root either as you can copy out from the directory without it, just need a file explorer capable of getting to this directory.
er, close your eyes while holding your tab then tell yourself you're holding a 5" (size depends on imagination) phone?
Root and install xposed
in one of its modules download "App settings"
Then set the playstore DPI to WVGA settings or whatever you prefer

Edit Google Photos app for backup when charging

It is possible to edit the app and make the option available again? Due to my actual version (Android P) I can't downgrade the app to a version that allows me to turn it on.

I saw that but it doesn't work for me because my phone is no rooted, I was asking for the modified app that allows me enable the option again and let me update the app anyways, maybe some users know how to do it.
