Not possible open all apps list after XPrivacy opened via notification

[vanowm]

After an app updated/installed XPrivacy icon shows in notification bar. By using that icon XPrivacy opens with settings for this specific app.
Then when tapping on left arrow at top-left corner, which normally opens list of all apps, it closes XPrivacy instead.

I think in the case when XPrivacy opened via notification, the hardware "back" button should close it, but left arrow should open main screen of XPrivacy.

I have no idea why this isn't working. Up navigation is present as documented here:

This issue affects many apps that open different section of itself from outside. It's not directly a bug in XPrivacy I think. However I believe there must be a way create a work around. Kaiten mail for example when opened shows messages, and back hardware button switches to account list. Although it's actually undesired, because I'd expect it be closed when I hit back hardware button, and if I want go to account list I'd use the left arrow on top.

Anyhow, perhaps instead of relay on these history "stacks" or whatever they called when using arrow on top left corner it should open directly "activity" aka list of apps obviously clearing up the history stack so back hardware button would close the XPrivacy when list of apps is opened instead of going back to app's settings.

But back hardware button should not be changed and work as it works now: regardless how XPrivacy was opened if user didn't navigate into different section it should close the app, not go back to list screen.

The issue remains unchanged...Opening XPrivacy from notification (after app installed/updated) will close it by pressing hardware back button or left arrow on top.

The back button should close the activity.
The up navigation works for me, maybe your ROM doesn't support this.

I'm using stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Which version of XPrivacy?

[vanowm]

Updated to the latest 1.9.25 (164). Rebooted the phone after update.

Also using built-in quick task switch (holding home button), switched to XPrivacy (it previously was opened from notification bar), tapped on up navigation (left arrow on top-left corner) and it closed XPrivacy.

P.S.
It's JB 4.1.2

I confirm that I have the same issue on CM 10.1 (JB 4.2.2) with XPrivacy 1.9.25

[M66B]

Please let me know if it works now and if there are no side effect as a result of the changes.

Up navigation is fixed with 1.9.26 ! But then I can't open app detail activity from the list...
If I reduce XPrivacy and reopen it again I can open app detail activity. Edit: My bad, it worked after the 3rd XPrivacy relaunch.

[vanowm]

After couple of test it seems to work great.
@tonymanou it works fine for me, make sure you tap on app icon and not it's name.

One side effect though:
back navigation is forcing reloading the app list, with over 300 apps installed it takes about 3-5 sec to load.
Caching and/or background reload would be nice.

[vanowm]

1.9.27 broke it...now "up navigation" doesn't have arrow left (only XPrivacy icon shows) and tapping on that icon instead of going back to main list it closes XPrivacy.

Correct, read here why:
