They didn't really withdraw it, they just hid it better. I downloaded App Ops X and it still works fine on 4.4.whatever.

App Ops X can only work with root on 4.4.x. In 4.3 it could expose the hidden options to the user without additional permissions.

Ah, I didn't know it needed root, I guess I root everything so I never noticed. Too bad.

To clarify, it doesn't need root on 4.4, it needs root on 4.4.2.

Do you have a link to the google play store? I tried to find it and couldn't. I would love to download it.
