Options for controlling app permissions - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I love this phone, but the stock ROM seems to be missing the bits needed for the various App Ops programs to work. I've been running AOSP/AOKP/AICP ROMs for so long now, I totally forgot that the permissions code had been removed.
Is there any way to add the code back, so these apps will work again?

Install xposed and use xprivacy?
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA Free mobile app

I've never used xprivacy, though I've seen many swear by it. I'll install xposed tonight and check it out. Can't wait for a good aftermarket ROM. Haven't seen one yet.... bit I haven't been looking too hard, either.

Thanks for all the replies/advice. I finally got around to installing the xposed framework, as well as a bunch of modules (forgot how great it was). I installed AppOps for xposed, as well as Xprivacy. Xprivacy takes forever to setup, but has a lot more granularity.

Read Receipt notifications with stock Messaging

I really like the stock Messaging app and its integration with the rest of the phone. However, I would like to be able to turn on "read receipts" without receiving a notification every time a message is delivered. Is this possible?

If you root and install the xposed framework there's a few modules that can do this.

I've done that already. Interesting.. I'm new to this xposed framework thing. I'll have to take a look at the modules. Would you happen to know which ones?
Well I don't use the stock messaging app to test it out but this one should work

ClockSync, syncs your clock with an atomic time server.
You can get xprivacy from xposed installer or use app ops but I think xprivacy is better

Not a lot more I can add to the list but if you guys are interested in customisation head over to the candy shop 4.4 forum.
Also I currently have touch control and screen off running, giving me the function of knock on from LG g2 and the ability to lock from screen, so basically all gestures and no use of power button. A pretty cool feature to have in my opinion.

FYI. It doesn't sync with the atomic clock but instead is pretty much just NTP. It looks to sync with a stratum 2 server at ntp.org which is a few removed from the atomic clock. I ran stratum 0 servers for a telcom.
This is a useful tool to specify what ntp server you want to sync with but TMO, AT&T and the rest have stratum 0 servers that their handsets get time from over their respective networks.

which battery app would you suggest?
Have tried Gsam, DU battery & circle battery (or something like that)..
all giving varying results...
and could someone suggest a good app to view what apps are currently running, how much battery/memory they using & the ability to kill them..
and perhaps kill all as well??

You do and I have never played with kernels before now but it's easy and works well so I wouldn't completely disregard it for that reason.

Which version of xposed for T-Mobile LG Leon?

Lollipop. The snapdragon 410 cpu. I want to be sure before I flash xposed from twrp. I would also like to hear if there are any major bugs with xposed on the Leon at this point. Thanks.
I'm not sure about flashing Xposed onto the stock rom, but on CM 12.1 I'm having no problems with Xposed. I'm currently running modules such as gravitybox, snapprefs, xgels, lolistat, youtube adaway etc. without any problems.
Been using xposed without issue on my Leon. No complaints. Flash the standard arm version. Using gravity box tweak, YouTube ad away. Haven't tried any others. This is my backup phone so I limited myself to root/recovery/backup/tibackup/debloat. Pretty impressed with this for the $55 I spent on it. Not a bad little device.

Stock ROM. Xposed works fine on CM/AOSP builds but you have to use caution when installing modules that can cause conflicts.

Would you mind listing which modules you have on it?
(I seem to remember that GravityBox LP had a warning that it might not play nice with skinned ROM's so I'm especially curious about that.)
I have YouTube ad away, YouTube background playback, gravitybox, and play store fixes, because I changed the DPI settings.
Gravitybox is for traffic monitor, status bar and recents mods. Not really a whole lot else that works in there.

I like to use GravityBox for lockscreen shortcuts and notification overrides (to make it vibrate for longer so I don't miss messages).
I'm guessing these won't work?
Also has anyone tried the Mobile Radio Active bug fix module? The Leon has the same active radio bug as all the LP devices out there- so a fix would be handy...
I don't have an answer for either of your questions. Try and see what happens. Just know how to disable xposed if a problem occurs.

Better than what, stock android? It's really hard to explain "what it is" exactly, I'd suggest researching it.
Just think of it this way...you can install modules (tweaks) that do different things. It's not available for Android M yet.

It let's you install modules that tweak the ui, save snapchat snaps, Instagram photos, hide root from apps, tons of stuff
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
It's a way of getting most of the benefits of a custom ROM while still running stock, and being able to pick and choose which of those added features that you want.
Essentially, it hooks into the framework of the ROM you're running at a low enough level to provide modifications that standard apps don't provide. Using it requires Permissive SELinux, and right now Marshmallow doesn't have that. "Is it better?" is an illogical question, as there's nothing like it against which we can compare. It is good to have as an option, though, because it can allow for things on nearly any ROM that the ROM creator might not have thought or opted not to put into his ROM. Another thing that is useful from Xposed is the ability to hide whether or not your phone is rooted on an app-by-app basis. This allows apps such as Google Wallet (Android Pay) to function in their entirety regardless of the state of the phone. Long story short: We want it.

Using Android pay w/ Xposed?

I know that there are quite a few ways to get Android Pay working while rooted, but do any of them work while Xposed is installed?
Nope. Any system mod breaks Android pay.
Pretty easy choice between Xposed and AP. At least for me. GravityBox, Greenify, Amplify, Secure Settings in Tasker. Need I say more.

esp since android pay is only accepted at a few places i visit maybe once every few months at most.
My android pay works beautifully using Chroma. Under it I also have ad-away, LMT, V4A. Also I have Franco kernel
