[Q] App ops on my xperia z won't open - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
after the official upgrade to android 4.3 I have been trying to start app ops on my xperia z but it closes when immediately when opened.
I've first tried with the 10.4.B.0.569 build (leaked Commercial&Journalists one) last month and had the same problem but I thought it might be an incomplete build so was waiting for the official Sony version.
Since the Sony tool didn't want to upgrade (because it is effectively the same build nr) I downgraded to the 4.2.2 rom and had the Sony tool upgrade it again to their latest build (10.4.B.0.569) + did a reset of the phone but still app ops doesn't work.
I tried with a direct link using nova launcher and also tested the various apps that provide the shortcut, everytime I see it opening but flashes away after a second.
Is there anything I am missing or doing wrong, I was under the impression that I don't need to do anything special (root/unlocked bl).
Anyone else with this prob?
(Xperia Z build 10.4.B.0.569 - bootloader locked, no root)

You need root and Xposed framework.
If you installed xposed, there is a module which is called AppOpsXposed. This one you have to install.

[Q] Android 4.3 Xperia

Hello, I have (little) question about the following:
I have updated my phone to a Android 4.3 ROM, now i really want the Sony Walkman app, and the sony album app and movies,
I searched for a flashable ZIP, and found something, I flashed it, i saw the apps, but the only thing what was working was the Movies app, ( i got Sony Walkman has stopped working, When opening) and i guess it is because i am at Android 4.3,
Are there any ways to get Xperia Walkman app on Android 4.3?
Also another question: If i already have 4.3 on my phone, do i need to flash the FTF Files for 4.3 again etc. ( and wipe everything etc.)
( i know normally you dont have to, because you are already at that Android version, but now because of this is 4.3, an unreleased version, i was wondering if this was the case too, because i dont know if all ROMS are sharing one Android version, or if every rom uses a different one
Thanks for helping me out!

URL handling problems Xperia Z

EDIT: Thanks for helping me out all. Flashed another rom, that fixed the weird problems.

I'm running Android 4.3 on my Xperia Z (SuperHanss' excellent Rooted, Deodexed & Zipaligned Stock rom) and when I try to open the following url's, which are Dutch radio shows, I'm unable to load them.
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SpijkersMetKoppen/~3/21dFPFdDvl0/411633.mp3
http://radiobox2.omroep.nl/audiofragment/file/146462/fragment.mp3
They use a protected url that transforms when you open it in a web browser, on a pc for instance, but it won't work on my Z. However, it does work on other Android devices, like the Huawei P6 and the Z2, so I'm wondering if this is a problem with the Xperia Z and they way it handles 'protected' url's or if it has something to do with the ROM I'm using.
Can anyone please try to load the shows (please, only try when you're on wi-fi, as the files are several mb's) to see if it works?
Many thanks!

TowelRoot

Wondering if anyone has tried towelroot on 4.3 for locked bootloaders, it says on the site that theoretically it should support any device build built before June 3rd.
I understand we have a locked bootloader but so does the Verizon and AT&T S5

Worked for me
I used it and it seems to work fine. Very easy, go the towelroot.com site, click on the symbol and download the app.I enabled installing from non-secure sources in settings/security. I installed the .apk and it ran, rebooted automically and I now have root. I am running Stock 9.2.A.0.295 now rooted without all the downgrading etc. Sweet! You must have read the same article on Androidpolice that I read.

1. With the help of a file manger install TowelRoot
2. Install modified FlashgordonBB , and then with it PhilZ Recovery . Don't use the "normal" Flashgordon.
3. Flash Update Supesu in Recovery.
4.Reboot and install Supersu.
Set.

All right and I am grateful, too, certainly. That man deserves a beer or two, and some pretty girls, too.
But 150 pages of thanks - as great as it is - I think I'll just stick here.

Since rooting my LB Xperia T yesterday, I'm experiencing frequent disconnects in my phonecalls.
Anyone else has similar issues?

I don't think its good idea becouse some ppls can't root with it sucessfuly.
So SuperSu is advising an Update
So apparently, SuperSu is now offering an update - I was wondering what version, so I launched SuperSu and it updated after I allowed it, choosing "Normal" instead of TWRP/CWM - because I don't have a recovery installed. It worked fine and it suggested a reboot - which after that I had version 2.0. Works great.

System UI (or Launcher) keeps auto-restarting after a while

Is it only me or something wrong with LP? After upgrading to LP 5.0.2 (using Flashtool), System UI (or Launcher, or something else, I'm not pretty sure) just keeps auto-restarting after a while. The screen just becomes blank, moment later application icons show up. Applications seem to be reloaded (e.g. keyboard is loading for a moment before it shows up). It was working pretty nice before (KK).
Any help?
For the record, I'm using C6903 14.5.A.0.270 CE rooted, locked BL, odexed (original stock downloaded using XperiFirm). Also got xposed 3.0 alpha4 installed with following modules: Disable Desk Dock, Greenify

Anyway, i dont expect it to be fixed, the z1 never been good at multitasking
I'm using Z1 (C6903 270 TW FTF) with del useless APP + Xposed Work fine NO issue
Because of high lowmemorykiller value, launcher and UI will restart frequently. You can try to flash init.d tweaks to adjust your lowmemorykiller value, and it will solve your problem.
Hi,
I suggest you trying at least a custom launcher with Lock In Memory feature. I was facing this issue and it was really becoming annoying, then I installed Xposed Module to do a small fix on Lollipop Memory leak (if you don't mind rooting it's a great option). And installed NOVA Launcher with hat feature.
All the best,

I'd love to try this, but any recommendation about lowmemorykiller value?

So u mean the xposed lollipop memory leak fix could solve the problem? but i heard that Z1 Lollipop stock already included this fix? mine already rooted and got xposed installed so I won't mind getting that fix if it solves my problem.

You're lucky then
@boydzethuong
1. For LMK> use 3C Toolbox from Play Store, set Android OOM at aggresive mode and enable set on boot (not init.d).
2. For launcher> use App Settings Beta, search it @ app Settings thread, used for Lollipo, not L 5.1.1
Enable resident for your current launcher and reboot.
memory leak has been fixed in 5.1. I'd wait it out til 5.1 is rolling out on the z1. can't take that much lunger 'til then. couple of weeks max (i hope)

OK, so to summarize, just like u guys I am having trouble with memory leak, which people said a fix had already been included in sony stocks BUT it didn't really fix the issue at all. correct? Then i'd go with: wait for 5.1
For those who are using xposed, yesterday I was about trying to uninstall xposed to see if I had any luck getting rid of the issue. However, I found a new version (v70) so I decided to flash it first then clear davik-cahce... and you know what... it seems to be working normally now. No lowmemorykill so far (yet?). Will pay a few more days see if it somehow solves the issue. You might wanna give it a try.
Cheers

Apparently your module won't work on kitkat, that's a new one. But unless you upgrade to lollipop, you're sol

There's no xposed for kk art, only dalvik if that's what you're asking. Regardless, it seems the module isn't compatible with kk.
Ok thanks
Btw the module is androplusmod

sometimes it is possible to find compatible replacement

& Xposed really is more hit and Miss it really is determined by the requisitions the device on is requiring of their device so sometimes Yes and sometimes No
and for lollipop xposed it tends to be a bit buggy & sometimes creates a clunker instead of a masterful device
