Restrict App Permissions on L? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I am about to install the Mi Fit App on my Z3. The app wants some permissions that I am not willing to give it.
Is there any way without root to limit the permissions? (A Mi fit app without all permissions would help at first, too )
Thanks.

Bloatware

Hi guys,
Quick question... I got this phone three days ago... I rooted it mostly to delete some of the bloatware... The thing is, I tried to delete the apps on the system folders, but it won't allow it... It returns an error message saying it is not possible to delete the files...
Anyone knows why this is happening and if there's a workaround?
Thanks!!!

First check you have full root or not.

why uninstall system applications,it is not recommended either one developers that is risky.
try this application work good.Make sure the app you are going to uninstall is not a system app.
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zsj.android.systemappremover&hl=en
install and Open Root app delete on your android phone and,Tap on System apps and tap on Pro when prompted to choose from Junior or Pro mode.
Scroll through the list of system apps and tap on any of the apps which you want to be removed from your phone.
Next tap on Uninstall to remove the unwanted app and again tap on OK to confirm your selection.
In case the app cannot be remove properly, you will see the following error. Tap on OK and then tap on #1 to force uninstall the app.
Now the unwanted app / bloatware will be removed from your android phone.

What version are you running? How did you get root?
Hi guys...
First of all, the "What???" wasn't meant for this post, for some strange reason when I replied on another forum post it did here... I'm really sorry about that...
Anyway... The phone was bugging and the root wasn't working right, that's why I wasn't able to delete the apps... I wasn't trying to delete system apps, but things like Google+ which I don't use at all...
Anyway, I'm on a D2306 from Brazil... I flashed the 4.4.2 global to get rid of the carrier apps, but I probably did something wrong while flashing and rooting it, so it was't working... I reflashed it yesterday and did the root again and it worked flawlessly...
I deleted the integrated apps I don't use and the phone is perfect now...
Thanks for all the help...
That's first thing I also do after rooting. There is so much delivered with the phone, and not few of it completely useless to me.
I think the advice not deleting system apps, hmmm .... what is a system app? Sony Home? SystemUI ? Or Google+, Gmail, Maps, Sony Select, ... all in system and unremovable without root. I understand that we need to be protected from doing harm to the phone we bought. But still I think the phone should come with a kind of admin function or semi-root to remove what is not needed. As it is it has more the smell of forcing people to using certain things.
For other apps I have different needs than what is supplied. I am lucky I can change things. As examples, for email I can use a normal email program such as K9, for sms I can use an sms messenger that actually does give repeat notifications, such as Evolve, QuicPic to me is the superior Album at 1/10 of the size, for navigation and maps I use Mapfactor bcs it has real offline navigation, and so on and on.

[Q] Android L application permission manager

I'm looking for an app permission manager for Android L. I'm using the Pure White, I've previously used xprivacy through xposed or its been built into the ROM. If someone could point me to one, I would really appreciate it!! Thanks!
Couldn't find anything myself. I hope we get xposed working again soon!
Anybody found anything? Any half decent permission manager will do
Hi,
i'm using App Ops https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission
to manage the app permissions. Of course root is required.

ADB Granting Users Permissions

Hey guys recently I used the app System UI Tuner off of the Xda labs app repo & I found (to my absolute enjoyment) that it worked on my unrooted ZTE Majesty Pro, which got me to thinking is there a way to grant specific users (Say you find your UID) a permission like android.permission.WRITE_SECURESETTINGS & then get some sort of escalated privileges possibly with ADB? Just curious sorry if i sound stupid lol.
Edit: Or is there a way to fix R/W permission issues at all, even for specific apps only using this method? thanks!
