Hi, I just got a nexus4 and would like to keep it stock (have a sgs2 that I use for trying roms out on) but I would like to something that gives me a bit more control over how apps use my info. On my sgs2 I love openpdroid and I almost considered LBE (don't like that it doesn't allow spoofing) but seems that its been having alot of issues so that doesn't seem like a great idea. I could have sworn that I had seen one or two threads before where some devs were working on some things similar to pdroid that were also a bit simpler to install and seemed like they might install on stock roms but can't find these threads. Does anyone have any suggestions for other apps that would give a bit more control over how user info is managed? Thx in advance!

Just install XPosed Framework, and install the XPrivacy Module. XPrivacy is THE BEST privacy management tool on android, allows for fake data entry too. Check it out.

I've been meaning to check out XPosed, I keep seeing it everywhere.
I guess I have one main question related to Xposed then, for the Nexus 4, as I am trying to keep it as-stock-as-possible would the XPosed framework interfere or break the "stockness" (forgive me with the terminology) of the stock rom? That is, will it continue to update when google pushes out new updates like 4.4.3, 4.4.4, and so on? Regardless I am going to look into it for my sgs2 as I am more tolerant of tinkering but the Nexus4 is not for me and they (sig other) just wants a no-fuss phone and I want them to have a no-fuss phone with a reasonable level of privacy (always a balance )

Absolutely not, your "stockiness" will not break, as one of the main features of the xposed framework is allowing mods without flashing files and/or modifying system files. You will still receive OTAs, but to install them you'll have to uninstall The framework. (It's just a button press in the xposed app and 2 seconds of waiting) you can reinstall xposed after the OTA.

Ok, the second part was a bit less clear however now that i know it won't break it I will go do the requisite reading and then post if i have additional questions. Thanks so much for putting me onto XPosed!

when google pushes a new update(as so called OTA or Over The Air)your phone will display the update info. however when installing it will fail since one of the files in the system is modified(the app_process in /system/bin). then you go to the Xposed app. and unninstall de framework. or use any root explorer(since u will need to have root to install xposed) and delete app_process in /system/bin and rename the app_process.bak to just app_process(in same dir).
thats what he meant.
Edit:
you will loose all configurations,sdcard contents, downloaded apps, etc.... . if u still didnt unlock your bootloader(witch looks like no),because u will need to root your phone.

You will not have any problem if youre already rooted. When an OTA comes, just Open the Xposed app and press the button to uninstall the framework. Your OTA Will work just fine.
After the OTA, just click the insatll button to re install Xposed. Really simple, really. And since youre gonna install Xposed, I suggest you try out GravityBox too, its ****ing awesome.

I think I have you a "thank" click but wanted to come back to the post and thank you again, Xposed is impressive but XPrivacy is overwhelming, in an awesome way, and I thought PDroid covered alot. I've got some reading/re-reading to do but just wanted to say thanks cause i don't think I would have come across it otherwise. much appreciated! (and yeah, gravbox pretty damn nice too)
I have rooted my p9 lite and followed all the steps to get the google assistant, but it still doesnt work.. I have the latest google app and i changed the build. Prop file, then rebooted my phone.
Help please
Easiest way?
- Install Xposed framework
- Install "Enable assistant" module
- Profit

True. But OP did not state that he is on Nougat.
So if he does not provide any info on what system he is on, I will assume something
Also I don't think it will take long until Xposed runs on N. The devs have made a lot of progress on that and first test versions seem to run already.

I highly doubt it is since getting Treble for bacon means a quite hard work with partitions and such. I am not professional but having custom OREO ROM does not mean Treble is supported.
Do ypu know if bacon is getting oficial support this week?

Work! You should change SELinux to Permissive

SafetyNet passes, although I always install a patch to turn off the ro.debuggable flag because I know I need that for one of my banking apps. So that might be why SafetyNet checks are OK.
What patch did you install? Can you explain?

If you merged this commit https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/209767/, camera in 3rd apps will work well without change selinux to permissive

Best lineage 15 build in my opinion. Everything works as expected, thanks a lot
gavinchappell said:
I don't think that commit on its own is enough to fix it because Snapchat runs under another context - however as the comments state, that patchset has now been abandoned anyway. It'll be included in a more common area (I guess it's a thing that could affect multiple Qualcomm SoCs) and there's a comment on the new patchset with the "correct" fix. I compiled myself a build with the latest proposed fix and Snapchat is working fine so once 209960 is merged and 15.1 is building, Snapchat users should be just fine.
I've updated the link in the first post to point to the latest version I've built, signed with test keys and has the SELinux change in which fixes Snapchat/Messenger.

Thanks a lot for the build @gavinchappell, I couldn't wait anymore. It also works flawlessly! :good:
EDIT: For all those having games crashing I solved changing vm.heapsize to 512 in build.prop.
Hello every One! I'm succesfully installed lineage-15.1-20180121-UNOFFICIAL-bacon on my OnePlusOne and the important thing for me which is NOT working it's routing audio input to the external audio interface connected via OTG (i'm using Lexicon Alpha). OTG actually works well with usb-midi interface and I can play my keyboard for example, but external audio interface is not working (it is connected well, the led is on, but problem with routing i guess) Maybe I should try ROM from this thread but, anybody knows some terminal commands for doing that? THANKS:fingers-crossed:
@gavinchappell, could you update this rom, please?))
I'm trying to install the f-droid privileged extension OTA zip, but after flashing it in TWRP, when I open F-Droid, the 'Expert mode' in the settings doesn't show it.
Steps I took....
1. Installed the FDroid.apk downloaded from https://f-droid.org/en/
2. Booted into TWRP and flashed the org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota_2070 downloaded from here;
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota/
Here's the actual path to the OTA zip;
https://f-droid.org/repo/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota_2070.zip
Rebooted back into ROM, which by the way is AOSiP 5.6, started F-Droid for the first time, went to settings, Expert Mode, and nothing...
So here the developer puts out the OTA zip to flash in TWRP, it's mentioned here;
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/privileged-extension/
Then it's not working, or I'm missing something? Does anyone know how to do this manually? When I look at the site for the OTA it says this, Fixed OTA ZIP for Android 8.0 Oreo, and the custom roms is Oreo 8.1.0, so maybe this isn't supported?
I know there is Magisk Module and NanoDroid for F-Droid, but for now, I'd like to figure out why this OTA zip is not working?
Also can anyone explain, what the Pros & Cons are of installing manually VS using NanoDroid-Fdroid or Magisk?

I already know about using NanoDroid-Fdroid or Magisk, I'm just trying to figure out why this won't work manually.
It seems now after looking at this, the DEV hasn't updated this for Oreo 8.1.0 that the custom roms are using, so I'm working on it...

Anyhow, as I was looking around I found a issue on the Mi A1 that the developer is working on, in case you'd like to follow it, or anyone else interested in this for the Mi A1.

Well, it's the App to use, there's also YalpStore.
This is about MicroG/FakeGapps, using a rom with No Gapps, no Google Play Store, etc...
It's taken me a little time, but I've figured out how to do a nice clean Custom Rom install with NoGapps, and use MicroG.

I am looking for an open source dialer replacement for the OOS dialer.
I thought either Emerald dialer or Simple Contacts would fit the bill only to find out they are overlay dialers AFTER I deleted my OOS dialer. OOPS! Overlays only work with a real dialer. =(
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, JC

If it is Google, I doubt it is open source.
I should have mentioned I am on Pie. Not going to install 10 until all the bugs that are plaguing so many get fixed.
I found the Lineage OS dialer apk and the file it needs to work, however, neither will install on my phone. Not sure why. I gave my file explorer root privileges.

If you have any interest in the patched Google Dialer it works on Android 9 as well. I have been using it on my 6T over a year now.
I've used the patch version, but it was glitchy. I recently found a Google phone go apk on apkmirror.com that works quite well. Get an error message that it isn't compatible with the phone every now and then, but the app works great. Here's the link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...phone-40-0-275948326-go-android-apk-download/

You don't have to install a special patched Google Dialer version. All you need is the Google Dialer Framework module from Magisk to make it work. Install the module, reboot, and then go to Play to grab latest Google Dialer.... or Apkmirror.com to grab an even later beta-version.

Okey? That was not my point... with the Google Dialer Framework module via Magisk, you can then do any Google Dial version installaation. I don't think it requires root (well, I'm rooted so i don't know for sure).
Leave it if your´re not happy with my answer.
Thanks guys, but, unless Google is using an AOSP open source dialer without googling it up, I am not interested in anything Google.
Many apologies, I assumed "open source" in my OP would have made that clear.

My only point is that you don't need root for it to work. Magisk by definition is root isn't it? If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but only point I'm making.
You're reminding me why I don't comment on these posts any more.

My fault actually, I thought you just wanted to replace the OOS dialer with a good working replacement
As many had issues with the OOS dialer on Android Q.
I didn't really think anything AOSP worked correctly in OOS without a lot of work
