"App Ops" shortcut in latest 4.3 - Sony Xperia M

Hi guys, in the latest 4.3 SS firmware (15.4.A.1.9) we have no more the "App Ops" option under "Settings -> Security" that could be finded in the previous 4.3 firmware (14.4.A.0.23).
Is there a simple way to restore it?
Thanks!

App ops was never meant to have been included in any android firmware for general users. Sony have probably removed any links to it by order of Google. The only way I can think to restore it is to downgrade back to 15.4.A.0.23.

Isn't there a xposed module that restores app ops?

I think he means just simply reinstall the app itself or flash back the previous firmware
But where to get the app? well I would suggest looking in the theme and apps section if it's not already there ask for someone to share it .
On another note I think it's ridiculous that Sony forgot to re-add it I've noticed they just like to throw things together and not care if previous features are lost in the process.

[Q] SuperUser mod for XZ1-Compact?

Please can anyone help me with SuperUser mod for XZ1-Compact?
I made one myself...
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56328232/services.zip
It's not a flashable zip though... So you need to extract the file there and manually place it in framework folder.

Hi, what am I supposed to do with the jar file? I want to have Super User rights and still use the Stock Rom, without opening the Bootloader or other risky methods. I'm afraid I couldn't find your tutorial in search.

Are you sure? I've heard it's possible to Root the Phone without changing the ROM.
And looking at shysparrows profile makes me think i might be right.

But this process needs a change in ROM. I want to keep my German Stock Rom, without deleting any of my Data and settings. Only add the Super User rights to my device. Is this possible in any way? Or will it be in the future?

U can't just get ur hands on Rooting (SU rights) without giving up data or Region.
If u really want to root ur device, this is the thread which can help : [GUIDE] Update to KitKat with locked bootloader & root
Yes u'll lost data (moborobo might help in certain backup & restore, I've used it) and as far as German Rom is concerned, this method replaces with UK Rom.
Umm so Root or Not to Root ur call..
Finally some clarity. I guess I won't Root it. Thanks for your help!

FTF, TUT and SCRNSHT - How to update your C1904 to 15.4.A.0.23 - India

Hi,
This is a simple guide and it works for C1904 if your phone is fully rooted (I havent checked on a non-rooted phone, mine was rooted already)
This updates your phone to 15.4.A.0.23
All I have done is changed the below using "build prop editor" which you can download from the Play store.
ro.product.name = C1904_1274-5477
ro.semc.version.cust = 1274-5477
ro.semc.version.cust_revision = R1C
Once the above are changed, reboot your phone and start your Sony PC Companion, it will show you a popup that a new version 15.4.A.0.23 is available!
This a global version.

Few questions ? What bloatwares do we get in global version ? And what about future updates (if any) ? And hindi language support ?

Installed apps were restored! they were not deleted!
In fact I did a factory reset purposely to know more about this new ROM.
Below are the screenshots for this ROM.
You can not only check bloatwares but also you can get an idea on how the ROM looks like

OP I wanted to ask you if you have this problem?
When you go into the talk-back in accessibility and turn it on I have this weird problem where I am not able to click on anything. The whole touch screen kind of freezes and I have to double tap to navigate. The volume and power button seems to work fine. I turned it off and everything is back to normal.
I did factory reset the phone but the problem still exists.
>In the screenshot you can see that I am trying to pull down the nav bar but i can't do it and an yellow border comes up restricting the movement I have to hold it for sometime to pull it down.
This method worked for me, but I will need a easy method to root later on, because I want to restore the global setting to my local one

Remember to backup your /system/build.prop so can undo change if future OTA update fails. At least X2's OTA mechanism is balking at build.prop customizations.

Not if you did what you said correctly. I used ES File Explorer to do this and got my phone soft bricked. Had to flash stock ROM. Though, no regrets, I couldn't update my phone due to root so I flashed the updated ROM

There is a better way now. Whatsapp Plus works on the Nokia X/XL without any modifications. If I am not mistaken its version 6.0
or you can change "ro.product.manufacturer=Nokia” to "ro.product.manufacturer=Sony/Samsung”
I have tested and work.:highfive:

Strange, it doesn't sound like you have a converted phone so OTA in settings should work. Maybe the new version isn't released yet in your country. I've checked on the global website and it's not available yet. Another reason could be that the previous owner unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. If it's still rooted the smaller OTA would most likely fail. You need to flash the full rom.
So, are you rooted - you can check your apps for magisk manager.
Also, did you buy the phone second hand?

There was a bug in Armory Crate wherein if you have a 3rd party launcher as your default launcher, then while in Armory Crate if you press back button it would always ask you to select your default launcher. That has been fixed.
