App Ops Lives On In Android 4.4, Can Now Deny Even More Permissions

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the strangest changes with regard to
 Android 4.4 was the apparent removal of the hidden App Ops menu. You 
remember this one – it was the interface that allowed you to restrict permissions on a per-app basis.
 Well, apparently it's still in there – Google just made it harder to 
find. Color Tiger, developer of Smart IR Remote has just released its 
new App Ops 4.3/4.4 app that pulls up the standard App Ops and can add 
new features with root access.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The app you get from Google Play can open App Ops on Android 4.3 
and 4.4. This pretty definitively proves the feature is still present, 
contrary to what everyone thought when the most recent installment of Getting To Know Android
 went up. Getting into App Ops under Android 4.4 has also given us a 
look at some new permissions that can be toggled. Perhaps most 
interestingly, apps now list Keep Awake (wake lock) as a permission that
 can be altered. So you should be able to revoke this and the app won't 
be able to wake up your device. It's like Greenify, but built into 
Android. Android 4.4 also adds a media category to App Ops. There's a <a class="external" href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/1fdbaa1%5E%5E2..1fdbaa1%5E/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">big commit</a> to the Android source code that seems to confirm there are a number of new permissions supported. Here's the full list:</div>
<div class="note" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="notenote">
<pre>OP_TAKE_MEDIA_BUTTONS
OP_TAKE_AUDIO_FOCUS
OP_AUDIO_MASTER_VOLUME
OP_AUDIO_VOICE_VOLUME
OP_AUDIO_RING_VOLUME
OP_AUDIO_MEDIA_VOLUME
OP_AUDIO_ALARM_VOLUME
OP_AUDIO_NOTIFICATION_VOLUME
OP_AUDIO_BLUETOOTH_VOLUME
OP_WAKE_LOCK
OP_COARSE_LOCATION</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The standard App Ops interface is fine, but Color Tiger aims to 
improve on things for rooted users. This app can be used to download and
 install what they are calling "App Ops eXtended." The goal with App Ops
 eXtended is to provide additional features by installing the tweaked 
app to the /system/app directory. Right now App Ops eXtended only adds a
 search option to make finding apps easier, but in the future it will 
include the ability to revoke certain permissions by default, Tasker 
integration to disable permissions based on conditions, multiple 
profiles, widgets, and notifications to alert you to possible issues 
with permissions you have revoked.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only does this app teach us something new about Android 4.4, it 
promises to really improve customization and privacy controls (for 
free). This is definitely something to check out. There is also a <a class="external" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">second app</a>
 already in Google Play that can call up the stock App Ops interface 
too. Apparently Google did not hide it well enough. There are a few 
screens below to compare 4.4 with 4.3 (on the left) and how they show 
Google Play Services in App Ops.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Update</strong>: A new version of App Ops from Color Tiger is
 out, and it includes a pro upgrade with notifications, batch denials, 
and automatic blocking of certain permissions.</div>

Amazon Gold Box Discounts Transcend MicroSD Cards: 16GB For $10, 32GB For $17, 64GB For $35

 You're unlikely to find a price that low at a brick and mortar

store their apps on external storage. Moving up a bit, there's the <a class="external" href="http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-MicroSDHC-Class10-Adapter-TS32GUSDU1E/dp/B00CES44EO/ref=br_lf_m_7510082011_1_4_ttl?tag=androidpolice-20&ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=pc&pf_rd_p=1670458802&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=7510082011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=16WD0YMBPWBGAHYA6GZ2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">32GB version of the same Transcend card for just $16.99</a>, a $6 saving, and <a class="external" href="http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-MicroSDXC-Class10-Adapter-TS64GUSDU1E/dp/B00CHHTOII/ref=br_lf_m_7510082011_1_5_ttl?tag=androidpolice-20&ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=pc&pf_rd_p=1670458802&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=7510082011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=16WD0YMBPWBGAHYA6GZ2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">a massive 64GB version for $34.99</a>, a full 30% off the regular price.

There are plenty of deals to be had on today's Gold Box page even if 
you're not looking for a stocking stuffer for your Android gadgets. 
Standard SD cards and Compact Flash cards are available for shutterbugs,
 there's a pretty great deal on a 256GB SSD for system builders, and USB

Google Play Store Now Gives Better Visibility To Tablet-Optimized Apps '

<div style="text-align: center;">
The changes to the Play Store we mentioned last month
 seem to have taken effect. Now when you're checking out apps on an 
Android tablet, the home page and the tabs for "Top Paid," "Top Free" 
and the like will only highlight apps designed for use on tablets, at 
least by default. If you search for a non-optimized app manually, the 
full listing will use a "designed for phones" tag. 
</div>
<br />
Check out these screenshots. Here's a DROID MAXX browsing the Play 
Store's home page, and a quick look at one of the featured apps, 
Cluster.<br />

<div align="center">
<img alt="2013-11-22 07.18.28" height="400" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_2013-11-22-07.18.28_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="2013-11-22 07.18.28" width="224" /> <img alt="2013-11-22 07.22.59" height="400" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_2013-11-22-07.22.59_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="2013-11-22 07.22.59" width="224" /></div>
Now the same view on a Nexus 7 2013. Notice that Cluster is missing. 
After searching for cluster and manually bringing up the listing, you 
can see the "designed for phones" tag of shame right under the developer
 field. <br />

<div align="center">
<img alt="2013-11-22 13.19.16" height="400" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_2013-11-22-13.19.16_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="2013-11-22 13.19.16" width="250" /> <img alt="2013-11-22 13.19.35" height="400" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_2013-11-22-13.19.35_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="2013-11-22 13.19.35" width="250" /></div>
If you'd prefer that the top lists to be unfiltered on your tablet, 
just select "all apps" from the drop-down menu, like so. Manual search 
results are not filtered. <br />

<div align="center">
<a class="fancybox" href="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_2013-11-22-13.28.24.png" rel="fancybox" title="2013-11-22 13.28.24"><img alt="2013-11-22 13.28.24" height="250" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_2013-11-22-13.28.24_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="2013-11-22 13.28.24" width="400" /></a></div>
This is perhaps the most dramatic step Google has taken to improve 
the discovery process for tablet apps, going above and beyond some of 
their more subtle efforts. That being said, this isn't any kind of 
curated list: "tablet apps" are automatically sorted by Google based on a
 number of factors, including API support, screen resolution and size 
support, and tablet screenshots in the app description. So some apps 
that are merely <em>functional </em>on tablets, as opposed to "tablet-optimized," may slip through the cracks or purposefully avoid the tag.<br />

<div align="center">
<img alt="2013-11-22 13.42.39" height="418" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexusae0_2013-11-22-13.42.39_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="2013-11-22 13.42.39" width="668" /></div>
<div align="center">
<em>Ahem.</em></div>
Developers, if you want to avoid getting the "designed for phones" 
tag applied to your Play Store page, Google has some tips over at the <a class="external" href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2013/04/tablet-optimization-tips-in-google-play.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Android developers blog</a>. For everyone else, the changes should be appearing automatically in the Play Store on your tablet.<br />

Hooray! Shortly after the Nexus 4 OTA zip link was finally discovered,
 we can now say the same about both data-connected Nexus 7s - the 2012 
3G edition and the 2013 LTE. These are the last devices we didn't have 
manual update links for, so now it's safe to say that the KitKat Nexus 
rollout has been fully completed.

Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus 
Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the
 day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds. Consider 
this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can't wait for our 
bi-weekly roundups, and don't want to wade through a whole day's worth 
of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we've got a licensed 
Hunger Games, uh, game, a Portal-style first person puzzler, a classic 
take on a casual favorite, and a stylish 2D puzzle game. without further
 ado:</div>

Hunger Games: Panem Run</h3>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
In case you hadn't heard, the second Hunger Games movie comes out 
tomorrow. A Temple Run clone isn't the worst movie tie-in I've seen 
lately - that dubious distinction goes to the Hunger Games Subway 
sandwich - but it's safe to say that this is for fans only. Even so, 
graphics are passable and it's more than just running and jumping: 
you'll use Katniss' bow and arrow skills for extra points, and you can 
unlock alternate characters.</div>

Polarity</h3>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
The Portal influence in Polarity is hard to deny, but this 
first-person puzzle game has another interesting pedigree. It's a mobile
 version of a game originally intended for the Oculus Rift, so immersion
 is a definite goal. Those who enjoy physics puzzles and perspective 
shifts should be right at home, but if you're looking for complex 
scenery or twitchy action gameplay, you'd best look somewhere else. </div>

Welcome to Polarity, a first person puzzling adventure allowing you 
to experience the thrill of hacking into a super secure virtual bank. 
You'll solve mind bending puzzles by running, jumping throwing and 
inverting your way into the heart of the system to steal data for your 
clients.

football) fanatics and casual gamers. This new entry in the series is

old-timey comic book and a team full of memorable characters. You're not
 just shooting either - this edition of the game is more like a

Tic Tactics</h3>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
Tic Tac Toe might not seem like the most cerebral game around, but 
multiply the playing field by nine and it suddenly becomes a lot more 
strategic. Tic Tactics mixes the situational awareness of Sudoku and the
 give-and-take multiplayer of Go for an interesting spin on established 
board games. Single player, online turn-based multiplayer with 
matchmaking, and hot potato local multiplayer means that you'll always 
have a game waiting for you. </div>

A classic reborn! Tic Tactics is a turn-based multiplayer game that’s
 easy to learn but challenging to master! If you know how to play Tic 
Tac Toe, you already know how to play Tic Tactics. The twist is that YOU
 DECIDE precisely where to send your opponent with every turn. You’ll be
 amazed by the strategic depth that awaits! Challenge friends and 
strangers to increase your rank and become the ultimate Tic Tactician!

The Nexus 4 Finally Gets 4.4 - Here's How You Can Flash The KitKat KRT16S OTA Manually

adnane 4 android, Google, News February 08, 2014

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on">
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
Good news, everyone! The coveted Nexus 4 OTA to Android 4.4 is finally here after a brief delay caused by several serious bugs. It started rolling out very slowly a few days ago,
 but it wasn't until just now that we were able to finally identify the 
OTA zip urls for those of you who want to flash KitKat manually without 
having to wait any longer. No need to mash the <em>Check for updates</em> button over and over - let alone it doesn't actually do anything.</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
So grab and flash the 239MB KRT16S Android 4.4 OTA right now, no 
matter what your rooting/bootloader situation is. Of course, if you've 
modified the system partition in such a way that the OTA won't apply 
cleanly anymore, you have to either revert those changes and try again 
or flash the factory image.</div>

Prerequisites</h2>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
In order to complete the steps below, you need to have the <a class="external" href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Android SDK</a> installed. The SDK contains the latest version of <em>adb</em> and <em>fastboot</em>, which you will need for flashing. You will also need a MicroUSB cable to execute <em>adb sideload</em>, <em>fastboot flash</em>,
 and other commands. You don't need a USB cable if you're just planning 
to download the OTA zip directly to your device and flash it using a 
custom recovery.
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
You must be running Android 4.3 JWR66Y or Android 4.4 KRT16O for this OTA to work.</div>

Install</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Note</strong>: This method, just like the native OTA update procedure, does <em>not </em>wipe
 your data, and your bootloader does not need to be unlocked. You should
 be able to use either the stock recovery or a custom one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>adb sideload </em>the zip you downloaded above by following my earlier guide here. If something fails, try to fix it by restoring the system files you've changed or use the factory image.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what you should expect to see if you're using the fine <a class="external" href="http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/193" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TWRP recovery</a>:
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now that you've flashed yourself some KitKat, go read up on what's new and enjoy! Oh, and hopefully, this update fixes the nasty wireless charging bug too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="toc-anchor" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="rooting"></a></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Rooting</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rooting a Nexus 4 is very easy but requires an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. I recommend using TWRP.
</div>
<ol>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
Flash TWRP from <a class="external" href="http://teamw.in/project/twrp2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> (<em>fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img</em>).
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
Reboot into recovery (<em>adb reboot recovery </em>or hold Power+VolDn, then select <em>Recovery</em>).
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
Flash the latest version of <a class="external" href="http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SuperSU</a>.
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
You should be rooted.</div>

FlightTrack is not a newcomer to Android,

This app is designed to help you survive the horror of air travel. 
FlightTrack 5 does pretty much what the name says – it tracks flights 
and offers real time alerts whenever anything changes. You can also add 
multiple travelers who are on different flights, and keep tabs on who is
 departing and arriving at what time. The map view will show you live 
flight path data when available, and will overlay weather information. 
FlightTrack 5 is compatible with 3,000 airports and 1,400 airlines 
worldwide.</div>

Verizon's HTC One Max Available Today For $300 And Two Years Of Your Life

<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
If you like massive phones, fingerprint 
scanners, HTC, and Verizon, today might just be the luckiest day of your
 life. Why is that, you ask? I'll tell you why! Because the massive HTC 
One Max is now available on Big Red. See, dreams really do come true.</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
But let's say you're not the 
huge-phone-fingerprint-scanner-HTC-Verizon-loving type. Let's say you 
have no idea what the One Max is. No problem, let's just clear that up 
right now.</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
The One Max is HTC's try at a big ol' phone, coming in with a 
5.9-inch screen. Stylistically it looks like a stretched-out HTC One, 
which includes BOOMSOUND (aka front-facing speakers); however, HTC also 
cut some corners and took out some of the things that make the One 
special, like the OIS camera, for example. The Max just has a regular 
4UP (UltraPixel) camera. Bummer. However, it does have a nifty 
fingerprint scanner that scans your fingerprints because <em>reasons</em>, so that's something.</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
If the One Max sounds like a dream trapped inside a cell phone to 
you, you can head on over to your local Verizon and pick one up for 
three Benjamins ($300) with a two-year agreement. Or, you could just 
stay comfortable at your computer and order one from here. They'll even send it to you! See? Like a pillow, Verizon really is there to support you</div>
