more info: I installed Generic Nordic Country rom for 4.3 and my movies app is v 5.3.a.0.12 while my frined with Z has v 5.3.a.0.18
I don't know why, but I only received updates for Walkman and movies apps on 534 firmware.
If I update it and factory reset, I don't receive update on 257 or 290 :silly:

[Q] App ops on my xperia z won't open

Hey all,
after the official upgrade to android 4.3 I have been trying to start app ops on my xperia z but it closes when immediately when opened.
I've first tried with the 10.4.B.0.569 build (leaked Commercial&Journalists one) last month and had the same problem but I thought it might be an incomplete build so was waiting for the official Sony version.
Since the Sony tool didn't want to upgrade (because it is effectively the same build nr) I downgraded to the 4.2.2 rom and had the Sony tool upgrade it again to their latest build (10.4.B.0.569) + did a reset of the phone but still app ops doesn't work.
I tried with a direct link using nova launcher and also tested the various apps that provide the shortcut, everytime I see it opening but flashes away after a second.
Is there anything I am missing or doing wrong, I was under the impression that I don't need to do anything special (root/unlocked bl).
Anyone else with this prob?
(Xperia Z build 10.4.B.0.569 - bootloader locked, no root)
You need root and Xposed framework.
If you installed xposed, there is a module which is called AppOpsXposed. This one you have to install.

[Q] [HELP] Updating social Camera apps

Hi! First Sorry for my English, ill try to explain myself as best as I can.
I have my phone carrier locked, with Orange Spain, and the didnt released 4.3 yet, so I updated my phone to it changing build.prop and via Sus.
Everything works well, I flashed Centroeuropean 1. But when I tried to install Social Camera apps, I saw that only few were available. Not infoeye nor Defocus.
But Motiongraph and motionshot yes.
So I sideloaded the apks, and they are working, but I have some questions:
Werent all the apps ported to our phones, so the must be availabe in Sony select?
If a update is launched for the sideloaded apks, I will get a notification on update center?
I know that the update center works well, because I alredy updated the album with the new rom, but I have a doubt with the sideloaded apks. (btw, when installed, they requested the "Use update center to check for updates" permission)
Thanks to all!
No need to worry about the checks and controls etc.
You need to go to settings > Security and check box for unknown sources.
After that you can check here for some camera apps:

Not all of them tho. Most of them can be found in the Play Store

Thanks!!
One last question please. My phone is carrier locked, I was only receiving my carrier's updates, and always late, because is Orange.
As I writed, now I installed European 1 stock rom 1272-3352. And I received a update for the album from the update center.This never happened before, because Orange never released an update for the phone, and they are already with the 4.1.2.
Does it mean that im going to receive future updates like a free bought phone? For example, if Sony releases 4.4 (I hope it) ill be able to update when they do the rollout for Europe, or I would stay until my carrier rolls?
Yes It will use the rom data you have installed

Thanks a lot for clearing all my doubts, I come from Samsung, wich was very simple to root and install custom roms, but with Sony and locked bootloader... I must start like from the begining...
