Not working with KitKat

[frispete]

on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 (android 4.4.2).

No related message with logcat.

It's the same on my rooted Marshmallow.

The app says "time was set" but that's not true, the time stays wrong.
Perhaps you need to request the permission to change system settings?

Edit: logcat says:

As a Android app newbie I'd say we should add to the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_TIME" />

as stated on http://www.anddev.org/sdk-adt-emulator-problems-f16/issue-with-systemclock-setcurrenttimemillis-t15623.html
Can somebody test this?

if this worked, does it mean NTPsync wouldn't require root-priviliges any more?

[Jonny007-MKD]

According to stackoverflow, SET_TIME is a "signatureOrSystem" permission, so it can only be used by apps

• Signed with the system image
• Installed to the /system/ folder

AFAICT NTPsync would still require root.
