So I finally got fed up with the shitacular Facebook app leaving GPS on even after I exit it. The app shits its pants if you deny it location via CM settings so I decided to give LBE a whirl. It's a drat nice app and does exactly what I want but I'm curious how it's so nice when its free. Is it open source?

Ozmodiar posted:I'm really interested in this App...but something this powerful also makes me nervous that it's also doing nefarious things... I'm normally not very  but for some reason LBE makes me feel weird. It's too good. Especially free. 10 to 1 says it's nothing but still. I can't read the developer's website because the entire thing is in Chinese.Edit: Apparently there's an English button but the English site is hamstrung compared to the Chinese one.

Ozmodiar posted:Yeah...that makes me feel even weirder about it... Well, if it makes you feel any better it has quite a following on XDA. Despite their stupidity there's at least one whistle blower there. It's been around for awhile but the English Market version is fairly recent.

Slopehead posted:LBE is the only permission manager that I've seen that actually loving works (without crashing applications) and does it in an elegant manner. I'd like to think that the developers are likeminded tinfoilhatters who are seriously concerned about application permissions and realize that their work is nigh invaluable. I'd much rather have app developers not have their apps self destruct when they receive a Denied response. It's lovely on their part and worse, it's deliberate. I'll agree that LBE is loving stellar. I just wish they had a bit more openness on their part. The only solid comfort I have about it is that it hasn't been ousted from the Market. I sure as poo poo wouldn't install it from anywhere else and even then it's not like the Market has a perfect record. Maker Of Shoes fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Nov 4, 2011 |

Urfdser posted:I was having a problem where I would go to the market and My Apps would show about 15 apps. So nothing on my phone was getting updated. I finally figured out that its because I have 2 Google accounts and 1 Gapps account and the market magically linked itself to the wrong one. It was a big problem on the old markets. Try the new version that's been rolling out the past few days. A quick Google search should get you the apk. As for the 15 apps you have, the only solution I found was reinstalling them.

Slopehead posted:Wait wait wait. You guys are excessively paranoid about an application designed to help you feel better about your excessive paranoia about the permissions of other applications. My excessive paranoia is from the fact that the app is a) too good to be free and b) Chinese and lets be honest, China is the wild west of software fuckery and shenanigans. And considering that this is literally the only thing we can reference it's kind of unsettling.

Urfdser posted:It is. I'd be lying if I said I ever looked for a way to hide it though. I dealt with 2 of them in Sense for so long that when I installed CM7 I was already used to it. I just checked after reading this and the most I can find is how to disable the bar and just show a battery icon. Now everyone picking on my double batteries has me considering just uninstalling the Battery app and finding another way to check the temp from the status bar. Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Interface > Status Bar Tweaks > Battery Status Style > Hidden If it's not there I'm guessing the version of CM you're running is fairly old.

IT Guy posted:Why does the FaceBook app randomly decide to hold a wake lock and drain my battery? I didn't open FaceBook all weekend on my phone yet it still did this: Leathal posted:It's because the Facebook app is loving terrible. Use the standalone FB messenger app and the mobile Facebook webpage instead. To expand on that, the Facebook app has location services built into it but some dumb gently caress set to only poll fine location (GPS) so any time the app wakes up (contact refresh, new notification, etc) and you're indoors it's going to sit trying to get a location lock and not get it. The really neat thing is that you can't revoke Facebook's location permission using CM. Some rear end in a top hat went out of their way to have the app poo poo its pants if it hits a Denied message when trying to poll. So you're stuck using LBE Privacy Gaurd (spoofs but it's closed source and Chinese) or using the mobile site (which actually isn't horrible).

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Friendcaster doesen't do 'proper' push notifications though (im guessing because facebook hasn't made that an open API or something) instead it half-asses it by checking your emails to see if facebook sent you one. I don't have emails from facebook because otherwise they would clog up my inbox. After poking around on their API's wiki it would appear that the only publicly available API's for notifications are a) pull and b) lovely and being phased out. Edit: I could be horribly wrong about that though. I'm not a developer and it's kinda Greek to me.

isochronous posted:If your primary factor in picking out a keyboard is how well you can type on it drunk because you're drunk "quite a bit" I'm not even sure what to tell you because WHAT THE gently caress. The quite a bit part was a joke and by "it" and mean prediction.  Realistically, I'm a sloppy typist either on or off the sauce and more often than not I'm constantly having to babysit Swype with its goofy as poo poo prediction and spell check. The AOSP keyboard does a decent enough job at it, is multitouch at a level that lets me just bang out key presses like a boss and I just plain can't live without the punctuation bar after a space. Between that and speech-to-text (which is voodoo levels of good IMO) the AOSP keyboard is perfect. I'm a keyboard slut though. I've bought all the big named ones and I've been in the Swype beta since day one. They all stay installed and I try out all the updates to all of them as they roll out but after a week I'm always back on AOSP. I do have to wonder if any of the current gen Google keyboard or the revamped ICS keyboard have any enhancements from the now bought out and dead BlindType. After the buyout there wasn't a single peep about it. Edit: Actually I use a modified version of the AOSP keyboard. It's got a few nice tweaks that stock doesn't have.
