[APP] Permissions Denied - Block Permissions - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Saw this app on my twitter timeline (@CallipH). Seems very interesting. I for one am very cautious about the permissions a new app, or even an update requests. I can see this being useful, but I can also see it causing a lot of bugs since the apps may geniunely need the permissions requested.
Looks like it has some other goodies included in the app as well.
Here you go if you want to learn more:

ALSO, an unrelated app... this one lets you take pics of plants to identify them. Currently only on iPhone... hit them up on their site or twitter. I want this. LEAFSNAP

I've generally been on the XDA App lately, so signatures pass me by. Can you actually get Fat Tire in NC now? When I lived there (up until '95), we didn't have good beer. And if so, you need to be on the lookout for a better brew from Breck, 1554. Its a brussel's black ale, but has no bitterness to it at all.

I was emailing New Belgium for years to change distributors, and they finally reached out. I almost daily see their delivery truck now. Heaven. Yes, 1554 and Mighty Arrow are amazing beers too. Fat Tire, prob b/c an amber is just sooo good to me though.

Good news! Now I know if I visit back to nc, I have a chance of finding some good brew. My last trip out there, I carted a case of each with me across the country, lol.
I do stand corrected, getting my microbreweries mixed up here. In between New Belgium, Breckenridge Brewery, and Bristol Brewery (which is right around the corner from my house), its a wonder anyone out here in the great rockies gets a damn thing done, lol.

Living in lodo definitely has its perks. I know take my fair share of micro brew tours on foot.

Raleigh NC and the surrounding area is a mecca for local breweries and the quality of beers amazes me. It seems like every couple of weeks I hear of a new brewery popping up. Love it.
In short, don't worry about carting beer next time you come to beautiful NC

Werd.
Oh, the app you posted looks good, could definitely cause issues with some apps, havent tested yet but I do believe you can restore the apps original permissions if necessary. Good tool for the security minded android users imho.

Permissions denied is excellent. Haven't had an issue yet, but I'm also very careful what permissions I freeze. An app that's function its to go on the internet makes no sense to block its internet permission but I will block it from reading contacts if I don't plan to use that feature of the app. No apps have balked yet. Thanks for this!

Oh, and leafsnap sounds cool, but I need something more like BarkSnap, since all the trees I'm looking at are cut down, and limbed. I don't need to be wasting my time cutting and splitting damned Pine!

Thank you Devs

I'd like to say a royal thank you to all lthe dev's busting to make the little Eris look like a cramp. Yet, sadly, I have upgraded to a HTC TB, and will miss you all ever so dearly. All the help you give, the support, and above all, time you spent is well worth it, as who'd of ever thought the Eris would see GB?
I will miss you all, and hope to see you all again one day, as my Eris is still with me. Maybe one day, the little guy will find a new place a new home and you all will make it shine for the new owner.
Thank you, HTC Eris Dev's for all your hardwork and dedication, and if I could give you all a pat on the back, know I would.
Look into TheMP3Rom and turn it into an MP3 player with wifi. That is what I plan to do when I get a new phone for my wife and I.
The Devs ROCK!
Yes the Eris has some awesome devs. The best in the whole world if you ask me. But in the end I guess the Droid Eris will eventually have to fade quietly into the night. It is just another phone after all.

Indeed, I will miss everyone, You all made my Eris pro, made it faster smoother and just a great phone. Now my TB will take its place, tho I'll always have this Eris... not sure what to do with it, but it'll be a memory of the good times.
Where is this mp3 rom you speak of? Sounds cool.

In the Eris Dev section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979808
I got my TB on Saturday so I'm kinda moving on as well.
Yesterday though, I was talking to my wife and telling her that I was probably just going to sell my Eris and she quickly said "NO", I'll take it......from someone who has allways hated my phone because "you spend so much time on that dam thing!" LOL, she cool though, she's the one that bought me the TB for our wedding anniversary this past weekend.
So, I'll still be around, need to download the new GSB tonite and install, she's not sure if she's going to activate the phone or just use it as a calender / wifi toy.
I seriously can't thank/donate enough to the Devs (Tazz and Shed especially) for keeping this thing as fast as possible. It sure has been (scratch that) IS a great little phone.
And honestly, I'll probably frame mine for the office before I'd ever sell it!
Peace!

Now that's love! My fiance has hated it when I spend so much time on my phone, too. I don't spend as much time as I used to, though, even though I still flash often.
Have fun with your TB and take care!

Regarding Guides 8/28

Unfortunately I'm moving away from the Photon, so will be discontinuing the guides. I'll poke my head in once and awhile and update any pertinent info. Time to pass on the torch...someone should begin another and request it stickied.
I enjoyed the MoPho...but one month after release it's way too quiet in here for me. I crave flashing goodness...and hear only crickets. I will be picking up the SGSII when it hits, and look forward to seeing some of you over there!
Thanks to Yay, Edgan, Kenneth, DCour, Baller, Mikey and others that have taken a stab at this great phone!
Good luck on your next phone. For me I am pretty pleased with how well this phone works stock. The two things I wanted in particular (root and webtop) were achieved amazingly quickly. While I look forward to a sexy fast custom rom with all the bells and whistles (and rock solid stability). I can wait for that, I am more then satisfied that the Photon has lived up to the hype. It's the first time a smart phone has done that for me.

You know that you are allowed to switch it out 3 times which resets your 30 days every time right? guess its too late now but yes you are allowed to do that. That's what I did. they just swap you out a new photon and reset your 30 days. lol I loved it. Does help to have a good guy at sprint to deal with also
But like I said bud, good luck and you are very welcome.
I may do the same thing. I have my girl and her mom on my account I may just give my girl the Photon and use her mom's upgrade on the SGSII. Will see how it goes first though. Really like the Photon, it has a **** ton of potential! Really too bad Motorola can't get their head out of their ass and realize that's what keeps a majority of us around.
Take care o/

This is rather disappointing. It's only quiet in here because the phone is still so young, bootloader was only recently unlocked. As soon as all the hardcore HTC fans start to realize this phone blows both Evo's out of the water, this place will be booming. Even if not, we have some very talented developers making feature rich stable roms. I was a flashaholic as well, but especially on phones such as the Evo well over half of the roms are just plain rubbish and aren't worth flashing. I'd hate to see that happen to the Photon and then deal with all of the people complaining that the phone doesn't work when they just loaded up half-functional software ripped from quality roms by a 12 year old.
Either way, hopefully you'll come back to this phone when we learn what major flaw the latest/greatest Samsung has. I gave up on them after all of their Android devices had major recurring defects, ones that I still see today in my tech centers. Moment/Intercept/Transform had way too little internal memory and the processor wore out quickly. Epic/Captivate/Vibrant all had borked GPS and suffered from random locking up/reboots. Nexus S 4G has terrible signal quality and terrible battery life. Replenish has been their worst yet, charging port shorts out causing it to say it's charging when it isn't and has gotten so hot that I've actually seen them brought in with melted LCD panels and it burnt the customer upon picking it up. I don't know how Samsung has avoided a lawsuit on that one. As for myself, I will not be picking up another Samsung device regardless of how amazing the specs look on paper. They can't seem to get their products fully functional.

I agree completely. I was just looking at the SGS2 reviews and whatnot for the last hour or so. I honestly think the photon already has beat it. I remember my first Samsung phone from ATT, I forget what it was even called actually. I'm sure I could look it up but it was like almost a smartphone. I mean it was, but there was no market or anything and it was just what it was.
I will be staying here unless there is just no action moving forward. But I don't see that happening because like you said this is a great phone and we have only begun to unlock the powers it has, I cannot wait to see numbers when we have a proper kernel source and a proper kernel made for us. Stock my phone has hit over 2500 in Quadrant and I know other people have gotten higher. In Linpack it is hitting higher than some of the highest numbers ever recorded for linpack. So I really can't wait to see what this thing has when it is fully unleashed! It still is just the beginning.

Thanks for your contribution to the Photon. Enjoy whatever device you end up with.

Personal Question?

This thread is not about Photon, It is about me and I need some serious help. From my post here, most of you know me. Single, live in great upscale neighborhood, cool job. I don't do drugs, drink some. I walk around crib in boxers, scratch myself, fart, leave the toliet seat up, I'm me.
Was at local bar Monday and a local lesbian (she is cool) asked me if I knew someone that had a room for rent. I don't. She told me about lesbian friend that needed a room. Sorry, no clue. Why cant she stay with you I asked. She is still living with Ex. She asked about my crib! I told her (and seriously) I really don't play well with others! I have my TV's, Pool Table, 3 Computers (don't ask!) Actually 4 computers with job.................No, I cannot live with anyone.
THEN, I met said lesbian. On a scale of 1 to 10, she is the square root of 1Tb devided by 69 plus 10 to the square of 2!!!!!!!!!!!! If you google Ice-T and Coco, she is Coco with Black hair and light blue eyes that will melt mear mortal men. 5'11", Soft spoken, laid back. Told me she is quite and just needs a few months as she just moved back from West Coast. After I dropped $75.00 on food and drinks, I told her I would think about it. To be honest, she can have my crib and my check, I cannot get her off my mind!!
And you really want to know how bad it is, I came to work today and left Photon at home!!
Now she is staying with friends in the hood (My brother lives that way and I don't visit him!) on one hand, I want to help. On the other hand, I'm a man and.......I dont know. I'm going to lunch!
Sally! She probably needs to know stuff up front. Boxers, etc.
Personally I wouldn't. I am not a trusting person, especially with all of your loot scattered around the house.

WHAT????
OMG did ya rub Aladdins lamp & forget what ya asked for last time you was drunk..Cmon!! Thats like the best situation any single bachelor would want, Make her leave a deposit if ya worried...
Well now that I have eaten, I decided i am NOT going to give her my spare room. Nothing good can come from it. First time I see her come out of shower it's over. I'm a dog. My ex-wife will tell you that. My mother will tell you that. He** even my Doctor will tell you that as he gives me Rx for my peepee!!! (I gotta get picture of me and the Lesibans?)
Actually, this entire mess is the Photons fault!!! The original lesiban also has OtterBox and started asking me phone questions. Then she wanted to know what Hennessy taste like. Then bumming smokes..............I need to meet a stright chick!!!
True, it is a recipe for disaster.
What happens when work sends you away again? You come to an empty house. You don't exactly have the worlds best track record with women, according to your posts. You'll move her in, next thing you know you're paying for her cell minutes, clothes, car, nose candy, etc.

I have pretty much made up my mind it 100% no. This is a mess waiting to happen and I have no way to win.
From my understanding, what she is paying in the hood she could never make it 1/2 way to my neighborhood.
2. Unless you have 725 Credit Score and $100K renters insurance your not coming to my hood. Next, you have to physically go to UGI and PP&L and get the utilities in YOUR Name before they will give you keys. Which is why she is looking for the roommate deal.
3. What happens if I get some a**, what do I do with her? (Or do I have to fight the lesibin?)
Anyway, its a no win situation where I will get f**ked, in a bad way, if I let her, or anyone else, stay with me!

What do you have in store for your Chameleon home screens?

Hey Guys
I just wanted to hear your thoughts on what you hope to put onto your home screens when Chameleon does get released in August?
I've donated to the good cause and here is hoping it's going to look as good as some of those prototype video's I've seen, wow!
what do you think would be the most useful to put on each screen?
I personally would like to dedicate a screen to a terminal ssh widget (like airterm or better terminal emulator), ezpdf/picture viewer widget for diagrams, world clock, calculator, and perhaps email on one screen.
For the fun stuff on other screens: Browser, stickit, Pulse, tapatalk/xda, netflix, wikipedia, playerpro, whatsapp, Fb, G+. Solid explorer, youtube and alot more!
Im looking forward to this new development into the android tablet UI, there will be alot of interesting developement into intergrating/optimising current and new widgets for Chameleon. Ultimately it saves the hassle of constantly switching or opening new applications all the time, it will be there right at your finger tips and I have a good feeling that it should be on overal great experience.
I'm just hoping I didn't waste $10 and that it is actually released.
I'm pretty sure it will make it, $35000/50000 and 19 days to go. To think they got that much in about 11 days + they would probably extend it if it gets close to 50k
it will be released even if the budget is not met.
if the budget is met it just means it gets released earlier.
I backed the kickstarter for the Chameleon but I am not even sure if I will end up using it. It certainly seems interesting and the demo looked nice but my needs don't change with the time of day, at least not as far as my tablet is concerned.
Doesn't matter though, I enjoy supporting innovative ideas and it only cost $10. I spend less than that in lunch every day
Once it comes out, I'm gonna ask /g/ to set it up, they always have great theme ideas.

[Q] Let start happy hour early!

It's 130pm. Tomorrow I go in for a septoplasty and a bi-lateral turbinate reduction, so I'M GONNA DRINK A BEER! I've got an Abita Mardi Gras Bock. What's everyone else drinking these days?
Edit: Removed the words "in the afternoon" cause I said "130pm", as if it could be the afternoon at 130am..
Abita is good stuff. My girlfriend's mother lives in Abita Springs. Their tour is awesome...free and as much as you can drink in 30 minutes...
Yes it is. I get Purple Haze all the time.

Guinness and Bailey's if I'm going to pick anything. I have had about a dozen alcoholic drinks ever; probably going to stay at that number too, don't care for alcohol in general.
Leinenkugel Pumpkin Ale. Never been a big fan of Leinenkugels that much but this stuff isn't half bad..just make sure to do the recommended swirl of the bottle before emptying it out in a glass to get all the spices in there.
Always been a fan of Abita, though I never tried the Mardi Gras type..it is pretty damn hard to find Abita here in MI..but we do have a lot of awesome microbrews of our own up here.
CORRECTION: That would be Shock Top Pumpkin Ale..not Leinenkugel

I've never had this (the Mardi-Gras Bock) before yesterday when I bought it. I live in a very famously Irish neighborhood with nothing but bars and pizza shops on almost every block. There's a spot around the corner from here called Brilbeck's. They've got everything.. Just about.

Nice. I believe I have heard of it before, just never had it. Initially I thought the "g" at the end of pumking was a typo on your end until I saw that is actually what it is called. Seems like it has some pretty stellar reviews on beeradvocate, etc.
I am going to have to go on a hunt for that now.
p.s. this past summer in Europe I had a "Westvleteren 12" ...considered by some to be the best beer in the world..though I realize that's a trivial thing to say. I must say though..if you like Belgian trappist beers, it is pretty damn awesome, and wasn't even half expensive considering what we pay for lesser microbrews here in the States.
I'm sorry man but General device sub forums aren't meant for off topic purpose, you want look here for that http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261
I'm closing this one but if you want me to move in that forum just let me know.
