[ How-to ] Enable App Ops again in 4.4.2 / KOT49H
- Thread starter Calkulin

OP, this made my day. Thanks a bunch, now I can manage that stuff on my MiPad and do not need an extra app.
But I realized that app ops does not work for system apps. They turn on permissions again if turned off. Sucks kind of.

hey guys do you think this Guide could work on a pretty Lollipop stock 5.1_r1 ROM? I cannot flash Xposed here because of the Intel x86_64 CPU.. 
EDIT:
well, it worked but AppOps crashes most of the times with most of the apps..

30Here's a quick guide on how to enable App Ops in 4.4.2 / KOT49H. Decompile Settings.apk, open the Settings.smali and make these changes. Now if you want to keep ART working, don't deodex and just use the classes.dex that already included in the apk.
1.Code:.method static constructor <clinit>()V .locals 3 .prologue const/4 v2, 0x0 .line 126 sput-boolean v2, Lcom/android/settings/Settings;->sShowNoHomeNotice:Z .line 309 const/16 v0, 0x2[COLOR="Red"]c[/COLOR] new-array v0, v0, [Ljava/lang/String;
Change to - +1
Code:.method static constructor <clinit>()V .locals 3 .prologue const/4 v2, 0x0 .line 126 sput-boolean v2, Lcom/android/settings/Settings;->sShowNoHomeNotice:Z .line 309 const/16 v0, 0x2[COLOR="red"]d[/COLOR] new-array v0, v0, [Ljava/lang/String;
2.Code:const/16 v1, 0x2b const-class v2, Lcom/android/settings/inputmethod/KeyboardLayoutPickerFragment; invoke-virtual {v2}, Ljava/lang/Class;->getName()Ljava/lang/String; move-result-object v2 aput-object v2, v0, v1 sput-object v0, Lcom/android/settings/Settings;->ENTRY_FRAGMENTS:[Ljava/lang/String;
Add this - What's marked in red should be 1 less than what you changed in the previous step (Or the previous number before adding 1)
Code:const/16 v1, 0x2b const-class v2, Lcom/android/settings/inputmethod/KeyboardLayoutPickerFragment; invoke-virtual {v2}, Ljava/lang/Class;->getName()Ljava/lang/String; move-result-object v2 aput-object v2, v0, v1 [B][COLOR="green"]const/16 v1, 0x[COLOR="red"]2c[/COLOR] const-class v2, Lcom/android/settings/applications/AppOpsSummary; invoke-virtual {v2}, Ljava/lang/Class;->getName()Ljava/lang/String; move-result-object v2 aput-object v2, v0, v1[/COLOR][/B] sput-object v0, Lcom/android/settings/Settings;->ENTRY_FRAGMENTS:[Ljava/lang/String;
EDIT: Here's how to add it to Settings/Security
Added this to values/strings.xml
Code:<string name="app_ops_settings_summary">Manage app permissions</string>
Add this to xml/security_settings_misc.xml under the device admin title
Code:<Preference android:title="@string/app_ops_settings" android:key="app_ops_summary" android:summary="@string/app_ops_settings_summary" android:fragment="com.android.settings.applications.AppOpsSummary" />
3here it is
4.4.3 settings for nexus 5 with app ops enabled
its only the apk in a rar file so extract it and rename and manually replace Settings.apk under system/priv-app/
this is NOT a flashable zip!

Here's what I did
Added this line to Strings.xml
Code:<string name="app_ops_settings_summary">Manage app permissions</string>
Added this line to security_settings_misc.xml under the device admin label
Code:<Preference android:title="@string/app_ops_settings" android:key="app_ops_summary" android:summary="@string/app_ops_settings_summary" android:fragment="com.android.settings.applications.AppOpsSummary" />

Code:.method static constructor <clinit>()V .locals 3 .prologue const/4 v2, 0x0 .line 126 sput-boolean v2, Lcom/android/settings/Settings;->sShowNoHomeNotice:Z .line 309 const/16 v0, 0x2c new-array v0, v0, [Ljava/lang/String;
Quite literally, it is the line after it.
I am just suggesting that it should be included for context.
That way we know that this is referring to the array we defined as v0:
Code:aput-object v2, v0, v1
Don't mind me though. I just have this thing about people blindly following tutorials while not really knowing why they are doing what they are doing...1
/system/priv-app/
You will always need /system/framework/framework-res.apk. Install this as a framework.
Once you rebuild, take just the classes.dex from the build/apk/ folder and jam it back in the original apk. Repush that to your device with adb and chmod 644 it.
Also, if you're on a ROM with custom settings already, the values in this guide might not be suitable. Mine were offset by +2.
