Hey team,
Can someone point me to a good thread, I've found 3,4 threads but looking for a good app, or an app where I can control what permissions apps get AND if there is an app that logs all the actions of your apps. I have the amex app and I sure as hell dont know why it needs certain permissions and I am curious to know when the app accesses my phonebook or so forth
Hope I made sense....
Thanks alot as usual.

Install Xposed, there are some modules to alleviate this issue.

You need this. It will work great for you. It does need root. It's what I've been using since Nexus 5.
The Name of the App is Apps Ops

+1 to this. App ops works great and is super lightweight.
I would stay away from using xposed as it causes external problems and it's better to just stick to lightweight alternatives.

Apologies if this has been said already.
Good post!
Some apps gathered and despatched location information even when an application was not running and some sent updates every 30 seconds.

First of all, anyone have a list of the apps? And secondly, could the above be the reason that alot of people running Android suffer worse battery loss than others?
u can find a setting like that next to the gps switch in the settinngs menu

Nope, apps on the android market are not vetted or checked.
You are expected to check the permissions an app uses, and decide to install or not. When one of our team published an app, it appeared within seconds on the market available for install.

Very informative.

Im not so much annoyed they are getting information from me. At the end of the day there is very little information they can take.
BUT:
I am annoyed that apps are doing things I have not asked them too. Thats the single most annoying thing an application can possibly do!
I want my phone to do what I ask of it.
Not what some developer wants... What are they? A bunch of little steve jobs?!
Im glad the devs here are trustworthy..
Hey just wanted to let everyone know Folder Organizer is free on the Amazon Market today. I posted this because its one of the best apps to be free most likely since the Flex9 Keyboard. But if anyone wants it its free today.

Is it really that great? Can't you perform some of the same functions in Root Explorer or any other root file mgmt type apps? Just curious. I may take advantage of it being free.

If you don't have this app get it. One of my favorites. Period.
P.s. You should add the app name to thread title.

It is not a file manage. It is a well made folder/app organizer. Allows custom icons and skins for folders and apps.

changelog:
Adds +1 For Apps And Games, Pin Number For Purchases, And More…
there’s a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately). There’s also a brand-new Market icon to spruce things up.
Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have – and really, it makes a lot of sense.
Root access is not required, but you’ll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.
will the market be updated to this anyways? does it show all apps or not?
Eh I don't know don't feel so sure about This.

After screwing around with the new apk for 15 mins, it seems the missing apps problem may be fixed. I am currently holding my breath though...
Edit - immediately after making this post the problem returned. I can stop holding my breath now.
just installed. Seems ok.
How do I install? -1.bin , right?

lol you guys think i would really post a virus or something. i found it. if you dont believe its true google android market 3.1.3. and yes the missing apps thing is there still. i use titanium backup. market doctor feature to fix that tho
For some reason this market is showing all apps for me that I've installed from Amazon store as if they need updating. When I yet updating them, it fails but still shows as if needing to be updated. That's annoying.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
yea no kidding. if you have titanium backup you can detach those apps from the market so they wont show updating. those are apps from the amazon app store i think, love the +1 feature

What is a +1 feature? Can't figure it out..
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Moved to apps..........
+1 is a new google plus feature. if you go into the market and look at an app it will have the option to +1 it which is equivalent to liking a status on facebook. you can +1 websites and links. and all the links you've +1's can be viewed on your google plus
Market updates
Any ideas as to why the android market is not retrievable from the android market...other than the recursive need for the market in the first place
Loving the pin security, thanks for this.
I have no idea how to install this

Wife just got a message in her notifications that a new app was released. Click it and took me to market for a Task Killer.
Don't like this one bit. Using CM7
Swyped from my Nexus One
Possibly a notification from an existing app, the developer of which used to notify you of his/her new app.
Check who the dev of the Task Killer is and see if matches any of the apps already on the phone
That's from apps using Airpush adds. Go to the market and download Airpush Detector. It'll tell you which app is doing it, then you can uninstall the bugger!

Thanks Directional! Those ads were getting annoying :/
Didn't find any offending apps. I should have paid more attention to the ad. Oh well...when/if it comes back...

There's a similar thread over at the Asus Transformer forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314702
Even the developer for Mobo Task Killer stop by the thread but it seems no one can figure out who's pushing the ad. Like here AirPush Detector is coming up empty.
Or you could look at your recently installed apps....I know a lot of apps/developers that do it. Usually they're free versions of games that do it, and I've also seen products from the GO developers that like to advertise their apps whenever they get the chance. Some apps will let you turn off all notifications as well...if you go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> and look at the Downloaded tab, you can scroll through and see what app may be doing it
Seems like it's an app call "First Aid" doing this. You have anything like that install?

Thanks for the heads-up. Got my first notification spam today. I had this app installed. Note emphasis on "had"; it's gone now. Left a 1-star review and comment before uninstalling.
I started getting these ads and found this thread. I had installed Go Launcher (someone mentioned Go apps, above). If I uninstall the app do the notifications go with it? I'm hoping it hasn't installed some malware-esque thing on my phone.
*edit* I used the ad detector app and found out it was, in fact, a Go Launcher theme.
hello guys

It's so annoying seeing 15+ system apps running, although it's nothing compared to TouchWiz ! :laugh:
But yeah disable them using Chef's Freezer, App Quarantine or Titanium.

There's some apps which normally can do this, Autorun Manager, Autostart Manager in ROM Toolbox and few other. Unfortunately none of them works on Xperia ROM. Something in the Sony ROM prevent app from reading receivers.
Edit : started a new thread in XZ section, but looks like nobody care : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212544
I wanted to offer a reward via paypal for the one who find a solution but need people to contribute with me few $ to motivate devs...

i found an app called greenify in the apps store . its for rooted device and it hibernates the app so it wont auto start at boot , but it can only disable user apps not system apps. works good for now.
