"unknown source" option has been disabled and can't enable,do you have any tools to enable this?
I thought most of those options are based on the main user's settings so that if it is enabled for them, then all secondary users get it too.

My main user's setting has been 'on',but the second user's 'unknown source' is 'off' and been disabled.I tried but can't install other apps from browser.
thanks.
I have the same issue. The original Nexus 7, never rooted, got L OTA and my kid, who's the second user, can not longer install apps from Amazon App Store because the Unknown sources is greyed out on his account and can't be turned on. Turning it On and Off on my, main account, doesn't do anything to the secondary account - always grayed out.
Hi,
As Xposed apparently won't be ported soon to LP if ever, I was wondering if I update to LP (Galaxy S4 got GE LP), what options I have to protect my privacy and manage those permissions? I am too much spoiled by Xprivacy I doubt if there is anything as good as Xprivacy but need at least something that can do a minimum job to block and deny some permissions.
Thanks for all your suggestions
P.S I was also thinking of making a post to list all alternatives to different xposed module, what do you guy say ? I can keep the OP uptodate if you share your alternative Mods/Apps to xposed modules
Alternative solution I am personally using right know which serve me quite well till we have some real privacy mod/tool :
You will need 2 apps :
- AFWall+ (open source firewall) : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.ukanth.ufirewall
- App Ops : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission
Ideally to prevent leaks, install them before installing or restoring any data after flashing your ROM
1- In AFWall+
- Enable the Firewall by pressing 3 dot menu and Enable firewall,
- Then for apps which you want to grant access Check the Icons First is for LAN Network acces, 2nd is for Wifi Internet, 3rd is your Mobile Data (some system apps like Media server, download etc.. must have internet access other wise Youtube, or downloading in browsers wont work, read the FAQ question for more info.)
- Once all app you want to grant access are checked, click on 3 dot menu and click Apply. (each time you change permission don't forget to apply).
2- App Ops : This one is very easy all Apps installed are organized by Type of permissions you go in and then uncheck the permission to to Block it, once ou are in App you will see all blockable Permissions that this app is asking not only of that category and that is handy
Please Note that App Ops don't list and block each and every permissions, but most essentials are there. Combined with AFWall you are good to go to protect your privacy till some good Mod or Xposed for LP come out.
Now instead of being fully naked without Xprivacy on LP, now we are at least in Bikini
App ops? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=droidmate.appopsinstaller
Nothing as good as Xprivacy. I'm still on KK and I'll stay on this version for a while I guess.

App ops deny permission per app basis, but sometimes denying permission break the app, xprivacy instead send fake data to the app, so you can still use the app without giving your real info
Xposed and Xprivacy are just the single best privacy guards
I know but how long can we stay on KK at one point we need to update or when we buy future devices there won't be any choices. So we need to find alternatives to all those xposed modules

From what I can see, devs are more interested in custom roms/kernels rather than in security/privacy purposes.
Marcel (M66B) is almost ready for Lollipop. We 'just' need Xposed. He is also working on another project which could have the same goal (no available information).
I really hope that rovo89 have enough motivation and will be successful in developing Xposed for Lollipop.
I don't want to loose control because of Google updates. Future devices is another subject and I think there is still a long way to go before not being able to use a KK device.
i really think that a moderator should open a thread for indexing all of the 'Alternative to xposed mod *name* for LP 5.0.*'
just until we will have xposed or something else for android L...
There is "privacy guard" by cyanogenmod in cm12, I think it sends fake data too instead of just block the permission. But you have to install custom rom for this.

This does not offer the same level of protection. I would not call Privacy Guard an alternative of Xprivacy.
There is no real alternative for Xprivacy, but at least it is something
I won't stay on a old version of Android only because one developer is going like "i'm god, don't ask me questions" ... we will never see xposed for LP, get used to it and move on.

Well, the saying goes "Do Not Feed The Trolls", yet here I am, feeding one: He does not play "god". He has a valid point by saying that it is his hobby, and should stay his hobby. If he feels like it, he could leave XDA and the whole Android-platform completely, and I would be fine with this decision and others should be, too! It is and has to be his choice, and if he does not find the time, muse, etc., then it is how it is.
You clearly have no idea how coding works, how Lollipop works, how the xposed framework works, else you would shut up and be patient.
If you are so much better than him, do it yourself. Everything you need is just a few clicks and downloads away. All his work is on github, and Anrdoid itself is open source. Go understand how xposed works, go understand how Dalvik works/worked, go understand how ART works, and then write it yourself.
Unless you really are better, and can do this, just wait silently. Don't be yet another huso cancerous forum member. There are enough of them as it is. Don't be ungrateful. Especially now!
For f* sake, I shouldn't even have to "defend" his choices.

Can you fake your IMEI with one of those?
Here's the link to LBE Privacy Guard (english):

And yes, you can block IMEI, I'm not sure if you can fake it.

I'm also awaiting an updated version of Xposed and Xprivacy for my incoming M9, but it seems a 64bit version is a long way off.
What do you guys know about this? Looks to be developed by faculty and students at Carnegie Mellon University.

Hi,
I tried to find root cause, but unfortunately without success. Is there anybody, who using Tasker or another application for automatization of your phone without any issues?
My issue is, Tasker is still "delayed" - but same rules I used before on LG G3 (Android 6.0) - but now on P9 (DualSIM) didn't work.
I have task for Calendar Entry, where if I have appointment in my work calendar, during this time Sound mode is deactivated (only Vibrate).
Some suggestion? I tried white lists, etc. or another app with same bad behavior.
Thank you!
Well, I tried to deactivate power management app from Huawei over ADB and looks good now finally! Its workaround, but tasker now working very well as expected.
adb shell pm hide com.huawei.powergenie
Did you have "Run in Foreground" selected in Tasker's preferences?
My Tasker works fine with that selected, although I also have trusted the app in permissions manager, allowed it to auto launch & activated it as a device administrator in advanced settings/security.
Yeah, I tried every tip over Tasker or phone (EMUI settings) and only deactivate power management helps me.
I had the same problem with IFTTT. It worked perfectly with my LG G3, but was hopeless on the P9. No amount of white-listing or settings would work.
I even had the app in memory, with Google maps running, on GPS, screen on, and it still wouldn't trigger a location based profile.
I've had to revert to manually arming and dis-arming my home security system. Annoying.
I translate from spanish so I'm sorry if your phone shows menus with other name.
You must go to adjust > advanced adjusts > memory and store and at bottom of page "space clean". On new screen push on upper-right wheel, and now on last option "white list of memory clean". Finally look for your app and activate it.
If you don't include app here, clean system will close it on background and timers won't work. It solved my problems.

Using Agama, I can get an app to start following a reboot. However, I would like to start the App at every Startup. Does Automate or any other app let you do that?

Why would you need Tasker for that simple.
Settings, type in the Search Autostart and add your app to the list of apps to be started on every reboot.
You may also need to disable Battery Optimization for your app (to make sure it would still work in background when the phone sleeps with dark screen)
That should generally work for all Androids. I don't have Huawei P9 now for years, I remember that EMUI might have had specific Settings organization but there was also Autostart (or Auto start)...

I had P9 for three years (if you don't believe, you can find tons of my posts here back from 2017-2018)
Now, you have that phone, not me (I got rid of my last Huawei almost three years ago) - I cannot show you and I cannot look into the EMUI settings because I don't have the EMUI phone anymore
But I KNOW that there was a way in EMUI how to control which apps will be automatically started on boot - I know because I played with all that back in those years, II did need for many apps like AdAway, Find My Device and similar that required to be auto-started to operate correctly
Take your time and google and you'll find. Sorry, I tried to help you but I will no more waste my time on that. Huaweis are past time for me
And take your time, use your imagination, If not Autostart, google for EMUI startup manager or something similar to find the answer for your question on the Net
Hey!
Nfc-payment app called Pivo (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fi.op.android.lompsa)
Checks for developer options and if it detects them, it won't open.
Rootcloak (The Xposed module) bypasses the detection with this commit: https://github.com/devadvance/rootcloak/pull/99
So maybe @topjohnwu would include something similar to bypass the detection.

@topjohnwu Magisk Queries
@topjohnwu
good idea to work on
I don't think this would be possible with magisk, magisk isn't modifying any calls like Xposed is, it's making safety net actually pass so any apps checking safety net see that. Root cloak is intercepting the check of dev options and making it return that it's off, which is out of the scope of magisk.

If you have this app installed, you can send here a copy of all the folders of the app (/data/app/ && /data/app/), if its depends of an settings in a file (that i don't think) we can create an Magisk Module to force the right value, but if the detection is running in JAVA so we can't bypass it by Magisk and an XPosed module will be necessary to hooks this detection.
This would be really awesome!
This stupid app (Pivo) doesn't work for me even with MagiskHide + Xposed + RootCloak... Keeps complaining about developer options
yes
in our country new banking apps detect developer options!
we need urgently bypass this problem like magisk root hide.
I got around this issue using Tasker. Just configured it to disable Dev Options when the app in question (a nfc payments app from my bank) is opened and once i exit the payments app the dev options are re-enabled by tasker . In words of Dr. Strange "It's a simple spell but quite unbreakable"

I have recently flashed an AOSP ROM to my LG G4, coming from a stock Nougat ROM and previously stock MM. On both previous versions I was able to use Profiles with Location contexts (turn on/off wifi, set volume, etc) with no problem. Now the location contexts have stopped working but the other ones seem to be working fine. I have location set on high accuracy, and all the permissions granted for Tasker, and the other apps which use location work fine. I have enabled logs but when I run them there are no errors, the profiles with location context simply don't seem to have any input triggering them. Any suggestions?

Ooops. It didn't post. Lol. Here..
All u have to do is make the profile task and tap play button. That way it will tell you if Tasker is denied/granted SuperSU rights. No need to install secure settings anymore. Just tap Grant to SuperSU. Also, check your SuperSU app as sometimes it denies Tasker automatically

The problem is not executing the task, as for example in my home profile I was able to replace the location context with Wifi Near. The problem is that I cannot implement profiles relying on location as apparently they don't work.
But anyway, I tried setting up the profile with location context, played the task but I got no request to grant SuperSU rights, and in SuperSU app Tasker does not appear, neither as granted nor denied...

You have to use an action that has "Use Root" and check it, I think.
Are you just using Tasker location contexts, or AutoLocation? I never had good luck with the former.

I was only using location contexts, for example for when I get home my WiFi turns on, the ringer and media volume are set to a predefined level...
Meanwhile, I reverted back to a stock ROM and just as before everything works well. When at home, as soon as I set my home location as a context, it turns green and executes the task
Could you post more details about your profile? What do you use for location context? Log?

The profile I use is very simple, when I get to my home location, Wifi is turned on and Media and Ringer volumes are set to high. The location context is my house without GPS. I can't provide logs of the problem as I have changed ROMs to a LG stock one and I no longer have the problem.
I can confirm that, for example, wifi near triggers just fine from MM to N and now on O.
My guess is there is a a permission not enabled, or the location service doesn't have wifi scanning enabled. Something along these lines.
To post your profile (always a good idea when it's not working as expected) make sure it's named - not a default name assigned by tasker. Then long press on the name to highlight the profile. Go to the 3-dot menu and select export -> Description to Clipboard.
Then you'll be able to paste it. Be aware, it easier to use pastebin then link to a post here. If you paste in a post here, the forum software will convert all semicolons with characters after, typically "on" and "off" to emoticons making it very hard to read.
