Hello, this permission(make phone call) is for call blocking feature, while unwanted call comes, CM Security will help you to block it.
CM (Cleanmaster) Security

No action details
I've just installed the app, and run it. It showed one vulnerability: SMS phishing, an app or what. There were no details whatsoever about this - before or after cleaning. I think it is important to know what exactly was the culprit. What did your app just delete from my phone? What if it wasn't a real threat but something that I wanted to be there? Now I've no way of checking.
Otherwise, a very sleek interface. And the app doesn't appear to be a major RAM hogger - at first there were two instances or a total or a total of 2 processes and 2 services taking up about 12 MB, but now there's one instance taking up about 6 MB, which is great for my underpowered SH-01D where I rarely have more than 150-180 MB of RAM free.

Thanks for your feedback. You can press the left part of each item to see the detailed information.
If you had read the detailed information, was it not detailed enough for you to know how the vulnerability was fixed or why was an app a virus? We will make the resolving process more clear and provide the logs in the future versions.

Thank you for replying. I did read the "detailed" description which was shown after pressing the arrow on the bottom left side. The only details were something like "an app that may send messages that cost you money". Yeah, quite detailed. No mention whatsoever of the app's (or process, or I don't know what) name or location or anything. Neither before cleaning, nor after.
Yes, adding logs is a very good idea.

hello, that safe browsing feature is using VPN or?

Did you mean that you have an virus app which is in Malware catogory? All the apps we scan is what intalled on your phone, including pre-installed apps, name of the app is listed under the Malware catogory, after uninstall it, threats shall be resolved. You can choose to turst that app as well.

No, if safe browsing is enabled, we will block the phishing websites or malicious websites when you visit them.

I don't understand what you mean by "you have an virus app which is in Malware catogory". I don't think I do - I am very careful about what I install and about my sources. There is no menu option on your app to show me if something has been classified as "malware".
I just installed your app on my old phone, and scanned it. The exact same results were shown - the first was that some sort of protection is disabled, but the second one is the same "SMS Phishing Vulnerability" that it discovered on my main phone. This time I took screenshots. I have not "fixed" the SMS Phishing problem because I am not sure there is any problem. I think I know all my contacts and there aren't any spoofs among them - I have only 196 contacts.
Can you help me identify which one is this "bad contact" before I use the "fix" option?
---------------------------------------
EDIT: My second phone actually had my girlfriend's profile, so the "SMS Phishing" contact that was detected must have been in her phonebook. So I deleted her Google account from the phone, which automatically deleted the entire phonebook. Then I manually went through every single contact in my phonebook. Of the 196 contacts, 20 had been automatically added from Gmail. So, I deleted them, and now have 176 contacts. Then I synced my profile on the second phone, with the cleaned up phonebook. Then launched your app again --- and again it found an "SMS Phishing Vulnerability"... Where? Why? How? If it found one during the first scan on my main phone, and then cleaned it, and after that I manually edited the contacts, and then synced them to the second phone -- the same problematic contact shouldn't exist, right?
----------------------------------------
Also, there's something which may qualify as a bug: When installed, your app automatically adds a shortcut to the home screen - I have specifically disabled this in Google Play and in my phone's settings.

I just installed it and it's so beautiful!!!! Let's wait and see

[APP][4.4+] "App manager" - alternative to the default app manger

After so long of developing apps for other people, I've decided to make one 100% by myself, and publish it.
The app is basically an alternative to the default app-manager of Android, and it provides some unique features that helps you manage and uninstall apps quicker and easier.
If you've found this app useful, please support it by sharing/donating/comment on the play store.
Installation link :
APK mirror:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/androiddeveloperlb/app-manager/
ApkPure:
https://apkpure.com/app-manager/com.lb.app_manager

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, here's some information about it:
Background
How many times have you tried to uninstall an app but found it annoyingly hard, whether you've forgot its name or it's hidden in a bunch of many apps you have?
Have you ever wanted to uninstall a built in app, which came from the carrier/manufacturer?
Are you a programmer/tester and need to uninstall/reset your apps frequiently?
If so, this is the app for you.
Short description
As I've written ,the purpose of this app is to replace the default app-manager, and ease the uninstallation task as much as possible.
The app is free and supports Android 2.3 and above, but works best from Android 4.0.
The app has ads (banners) but you can easily remove them by donating.
Who is it useful for?
The app is intended for multiple kinds of people:
For the common user, it's easier to perform searches of apps, easier to unisnstall them, and easier to share them.
It's also easier to go to the play store page of the app ,give feedback about it and contact the developers.
For power users, it's easier to uninstall built in apps (AKA "system apps"), like the bloatware that come with the OS.
For developers, QA, and beta testers, it's easier to uninstall/reset the recently installed app, by using widgets.
You can also share apps as APK files, and see the version of the apps.
Features and advantages over other apps
Viewing of app types of apps, and not just those that you can launch (example: plugins, live wallpapers, keyboards,...).
Widgets, for quick uninstallation/reset of the most recently installed app.
Quick uninstallation of apps. For rooted devices, the uninstallation (and other operations) can be silent (in the background)
Easy uninstallation of apps that got admin privilages.
Ability to automatically add app shortcuts when they get installed, no matter how they got installed.
Also the ability to choose which launcher will create the shortcuts.
Easy to use - one click to uninstall. Long click for multi-selection
Context menu options on selected app:
Run
Share Play store link, Amazon AppStore link, or even APK file (no need for Root)
Manage
Open app on the Play store.
Kill background process, or stop the app (needs root)
Quick reset of the app (needs root).
disable/enable app (needs root).
Create shortcut.
Search the app via your search engine or the Internet.
Sort the apps bysize, name, by package name, by date installed, and by date updated
Filter apps by:
System/user apps,
Enabled/disabled apps
Installation path : SD card / internal storage
Ability to uninstall system apps (Root only, and might not work on some cases)
Ability to replace the default uninstaller .
Detailed yet short view of the installed apps, including app name, package name, date insalled and version information.
Safe and automatic deletion of certain folders after uninstallation, that some Android OS versions don't handle for some reason.
Theme chooser, in case you don't like the cards UI.
Hopefully more to come, will be written about on the play store

FAQ
The OS says the app runs in the background, or the app has a notification of its own. Why? Doesn't it consume battery?
The app is triggered by app operation events : uninstall, install, clear-data...
Upon each of those, it saves the state for various purposes, in the background. For example the removed-apps list, and the widget. Those have to be handled right away, so it must be done even if you don't see the app.
In the rest of the time, it does absolutely nothing.
This is why the app is so efficient in battery usage, that you won't see it in the list of battery-consuming apps. Meaning it doesn't even reach the 1% battery usage. I am sure it doesn't even reach 0.001% .
You can hide the notification, but sadly on some Android versions (8.0, but not 8.1 and above) you might see a different notification, that the app might use the battery. You can safely ignore it. I guarantee there is no noticeable difference in battery consumption.
In fact, due to the optimizations I've added for Android 8.0 and above, and because the app's process doesn't get killed so often, it might even be better in battery usage. The reason is that the app always had to listen to app-events, and before Android 8.0, the app got triggered by them, meaning its process started each time if it was killed before. Less CPU, more battery.
I have a Xiaomi device and the app fails to install any kind of app. How come ?
Seems it's an issue that will exist for quite some time, and that it is turned by default on Xiaomi devices and causes various issues (read here for example). This "feature" is called "MIUI optimization" , and for now you can only disable it on the "Developer options".
So, for now, you can overcome this by enabling developer options and there to disable "Turn on MIUI optimization".
Note that once you do this, the OS will reset a lot of apps, mainly in terms of permissions. This includes my app too.
Just a side note: Xiaomi is known as one that breaks a lot of apps, as it creates its own made up rules and permissions, very much against how Android works. This is also why there is a website that speaks about it, here, so for better handling of the app, also white list it from the various permissions Xiaomi has created, too.
Sadly I have no way to handle those things, as long as Xiaomi chooses to make their own non-standard rules.
I don't have a rooted device, but I still want to disable/uninstall a system app. Is it possible?
It's possible... to try, using a PC connected to your device.
I've made a tutorial for this here (old one here ).
If the OS would allow, you could uninstall or at least disable system apps this way.
I think I got some nasty app, which shows ads randomly or takes control of the smartphone in some way (or any other bad behavior that I don't like). Can this app help me find it and neutralize it?
Even though it wasn't originally intended for such a task, I've noticed it helped many people with it. There are multiple reviews telling that it helped them removing such "virus" apps. I've even done it myself on both my device and for my family-relatives.
So the answer is that it might help you. Here's what you can do to try to handle it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77987186&postcount=543
What are split-APK files? What are "APKS" that are being generated sometimes when sharing apps?
Split apk files (AKA "app bundle" apps) are not meant to be installed just like normal APK files. They are used as you use the app, getting installed by the Play Store, to use only the minimal things you will use on your device, with your Android version, with your CPU architecture, with your locales, with your screen density, and so on...
Not only that, but if you install such files on other configurations, they might not work properly or fail to install.
As far as I know, backup&restore of such apps is not even working on popular backup apps such as Titanium backup.
Currently the app allows to share such apps as APKS files, which is just a zipped file with all of the APK files of the app. This is similar to what's done on various other apps and services (SAI, ApkPure, APK-mirror,...) with various file extensions (APKS, XAPK, APKM,...).
To install them using my app (which supports all files that I've mentioned: APKS, XAPK, APKM ), you can currently do this only from other apps that trigger it. The most common way to do it is directly from file-manager apps, but this should also be possible via chatting apps and others.
If you wish to do it on your via the PC, you can do it too:
use adb command as such:
Code:
adb install-multiple apk1 apk2 ...
Why isn't there a permissions management feature?
For permissions management, I actually planned some management tool, but sadly Google has changed how permissions groups work, and so permissions sometimes go to a different group. For example, before Android P, the permission "WRITE_CALL_LOG" belonged to "Phone" permission group, but from Android P, it moved to "Call log" permission group, which never existed before.
Currently, Google removed all APIs to get which permission group has which permission. Even in the documentation there is no mention anymore which permission group holds which permissions. Not only that, but OEMs sometimes make up their own permission which aren't official in any way (see "auto start" that Xiaomi made, and the reason that "don't-kill-my-app" website exists, for example). I still hope that one day I will be able to get a reliable way to get the correct information, no matter which version of Android the app runs on.
Why isn't there an option to install an old version of an APK when I have a newer one installed?
Apps aren't designed to handle this situation. They are only designed to handle upgrades. So, Google made it impossible to do it starting from Android 7 (read here). If you want to try it anyway, you can do it using PC&adb tool, as written here.
Why isn't there a boot-up management feature? Memory freeing/boosting? CPU usage? RAM usage? Automatic-task-killing? Modify apps ?
Various features of those types are not documented and not recommended to be used. Those can ruin how the apps work, just like OEMs do it sometimes even by default. This can also cause false crashes, or crashes that can't be reported. For users, some of those functions have the false promise by various apps that say it will make reduce battery consumption (search google for "Android task killer myth").
It is not a good thing to alter how apps work and behave, and Google has rules about modifying APKs, so I do not want to take the risk in doing so.
As for viewing information alone, this is something that isn't useful for users, but more for developers who already have them via the various development tools and even apps that specialize about it.
This app was made for users and power users mostly, and I want to make it work properly as much as possible, without worrying that for some devices or at some day things will be broken. I prefer to have as little workarounds as possible.
That's why I decided to stick with things that are more standard, more commonly used, and more available to be used.
I have an SD-card. Why can't I set an installed app to be on it, properly?
Installing an app to the SD-card has various restrictions that determine whether it's possible or not, and how much it will affect how well the app behaves.
To do it here, you have to have a rooted device (or use a PC with adb command as written above), the OS should allow to do it, and the target app should allow to do it.
That being said, you might try your luck via the developer-settings of the OS (check how to enable it on Google for your device), via "force allow apps on external" preference.
Why not share version-name and app-name alone instead of version-code and package-name with others?
Simply put, version-name and app-name are not unique enough, depend on the current locale, can be of any length (so it can be too long) and not restricted by which characters are used (so can be problematic on some OSs).
That's while version-code is always an increasing number, and package-name is always safe to use and is considered as the ID of the app on the Play Store and probably on any app-store.
That being said, I might allow to customize what to share some day, and let users be responsible of possible issues if they might occur.
In the past versions, the app didn't need to run in the background, and didn't need to have usage-stats permission at all. What happened?
In one word: Google . Google has changed the rules:
- For running in the background , the reason is that a lot of types of global events (called "Intents") need to be handled only with an app that has a sticky notification (called "foreground service"). Before Android 8.0, it was possible without this requirement. The app would have been awakened for each such event, handle it and go to sleep, while the OS can kill it if needed. Now it's not possible (read here). Adding to this, is that Google forces all new apps and updated to existing ones to do it for Android 8.0 and above, by the end of the year (read here). This means you should expect more apps to show their notifications, or they will present a weaker functionality.
The good news is that this actually helps with battery usage on Android 8.0 and above. Instead of re-creating the process of App-Manager for each event, the process is already alive, so less CPU will be used. And, since it's already alive, handling it will take less time. So, less CPU and less time, meaning more battery for you. You can also hide the notification if it bothers you.
- For usage-stats permission, before Android 8.0 I could get the exact app-size without any permission. And, before Android 5.0, I could get the recently launched apps with a permission that doesn't require requesting in runtime. Because of the recent changes, this is not possible anymore without usage-stats permission. And, since getting app-size and sorting apps by recently launched - are quite basic features, I decided to request it all in the beginning together with the storage permission that was always a requirement.
Getting the app-size was tricky before Android 8.0, and so I added a fallback in case it's not working for some users, or working too slow for them. It wasn't perfect, but it was all I could do.
The good news about this, is that it's much more efficient than what I did before. Getting app size is super fast, and it will always work because there is now an official way to do it. In fact it's so quick that I've removed the fallback for Android 8.0 and above.

Yes, that's actually why I made the app myself, since I am both a developer and a user that tries out many apps.

will try it!! sounds nice

I would like to get some feedback from you people:
1. What is the best feature that you liked on the app?
2. What is the best feature that you'd like to have?
3. In case you have a good English accent, have the ability to record your device, would you like to put your video review?
If so, I will put your video (if it's good enough) on the play store, along with credits (or you put them at the end of the video if you wish).
No ads in the video, please .

Well overall, the app is quite streamline and easy to navigate.
And the making of APK to share file is the best feature that I liked.
It would be nice if the app could have the feature to natively share apks of different apps, from within, using wifi direct, if another device has this installed. Would make it even better.
About the review, I have had some experience with them, so i'll give it a shot tomorrow morning, it's 10 pm here at the moment so I can't prepare and edit now.

I like this, for me the most useful part is the sorting by install and updated. Enough that I did the donation thing to get rid of the ads.
Some suggestions:
Tabs or Drawers / Categories with Tags
- The way this would work is that you can tag apps with categories (each app being able to be tagged with as many categories as the user likes). For instance, I may make a category for frequently used and camera. I would tag my several camera apps with the camera tag, and the one I use most I would also tag with the frequently used tag.
- Then, when searching I could search for the tags as well, such as searching frequently used and all those with that tag would come up.
- Going a step further is the creation of preset tag search tabs. So at the top, or side or wherever it fits best, there may be a place for the Camera Tab Search that I would select it and see all my camera apps.
I think the above feature would make organizing and accessing the apps even more awesome.
The next suggestion is moving towards replacing the stock app manager.
- I use XPosed with Gravity Box. I set up the long press of the home button to launch your App Manager.
- I also use the GEL Settings that changes the Home Button into the Apps Button when you are already on your home screen. It would be awesome if you did the same, but instead made it link to your app.

Well overall, the app is quite streamline and easy to navigate.
And the making of APK to share file is the best feature that I liked.
It would be nice if the app could have the feature to natively share apks of different apps, from within, using wifi direct, if another device has this installed. Would make it even better.
About the review, I have had some experience with them, so i'll give it a shot tomorrow morning, it's 10 pm here at the moment so I can't prepare and edit now.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.
About sharing via Wifi-Direct, isn't it already possible in case both devices have an app for sharing stuff over Wifi-Direct?
For example, using "SuperBeam" ? I never tested the app or the feature, but I think it's already possible, no?
Some Roms (and I think it includes some stock Roms) even have this built in, as I remember.
Not sure though, if any of those solutions share APK files, or just media files.
Since I don't have multiple devices, I can't check it out, and I'm not sure if I will be able to develop it in a way without any bugs...

Yeah, many apps have this feature, but I just asked for it because this app already has many different methods of sharing an app, and this could make it even faster and better, due to more streamlined representation of your apps. But if it's hard for you, don't worry, no one's forcing you; you are the Dev, you decide how you app is.
But the functionality is quite great.

I like this, for me the most useful part is the sorting by install and updated. Enough that I did the donation thing to get rid of the ads.
Some suggestions:
Tabs or Drawers / Categories with Tags
- The way this would work is that you can tag apps with categories (each app being able to be tagged with as many categories as the user likes). For instance, I may make a category for frequently used and camera. I would tag my several camera apps with the camera tag, and the one I use most I would also tag with the frequently used tag.
- Then, when searching I could search for the tags as well, such as searching frequently used and all those with that tag would come up.
- Going a step further is the creation of preset tag search tabs. So at the top, or side or wherever it fits best, there may be a place for the Camera Tab Search that I would select it and see all my camera apps.
I think the above feature would make organizing and accessing the apps even more awesome.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.
About the tagging suggestion:
Do you mean auto-tagging, or letting the user tag them? or maybe scan the play-store and tagging the apps using the category they were in...?
Currently, it's a rather time consuming thing to add this feature of tagging, especially if I will add a server side storage that will hold the tags of all the users.
It's a very good suggestion, though, and I will keep it in mind for future releases.
For now, if you wish to organize apps, there are plenty of launchers out there that do the job by putting the apps shortcuts into folders . Some, like "everything.me" launcher, will do it for you.
About having tabs of tags, I think it's against the guidelines of Google to have too many tabs (think how annoying it will be when you create many tags). Maybe a navigation drawer is better.
BTW, I also use Nova launcher, and I've tried a lot of launchers.
About replacing the stock app manager, that was my goal, but I still need to handle operations that I didn't find how to deal with, such as clearing the default of apps, getting the size of them correctly, toggling notifications on/off,...
I'm familiar with using XPosed, but didn't use Gravity Box module. I'm not sure what this module does (I've read its description now) ...
I didn't understand what you did with GEL settings. Did you make it so that the home button of the navigation buttons changed to anything you wish on certain cases?

My app only uses the apps that are already installed on your device. That's how Android works (using "send" intents in this case).
For example, if you had "WhatsApp" installed, it will be shown on the dialog I've made, and if "WhatsApp" supports sending APK files, it will also work (sadly I think it doesn't, but I'm pretty sure "Telegram" does).
BTW, the dialog I've made isn't the native one just because I wanted to add some features to it and I also didn't like how slow the default one is.
Can you please check if Wifi-direct is possible for this task, before I consider adding this feature? I will also try it out at the office if I get the chance.

Yeah, telegram is the only one which would let you send apk files.
But I am not a dev, so I won't be able to check or add things. I am just a tester for the apps and roms and sometimes co-operate with reviews.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I found a small bug, in the sharing menu of the app, aside the regular apps, it also displays apps from music streaming services, but only the ones which allow uploading of content, like grooveshark.

About checking it, I didn't mean that you'd develop anything, not even search the internet about it.
I meant installing an app that lets you send files over WIFI-Direct (like the app I've mentioned), open it (not sure, but I think it's needed so that it would be enabled), and then use my app to send the APK via this app.

My bad, got you wrong there.
So I tested with Superbeam(tried other apps too, but just won't show them in share menu) and it works fine. The transfer is carried out normally like choosing a file to be transferred from any other app.

Not sure I understood :
Did it show up there ?
Did you succeed transferring the APK file using WIFI-Direct?
If so, that's great news. I wonder though how come WIFI-Direct sharing isn't a built in feature on Android.
I think it should be easy as using the Bluetooth.
Also I don't get why Android-Beam uses Bluetooth instead of WIFI-Direct (as done on Samsung's devices). In fact, maybe Google could make the files transfer faster by harnessing both Bluetooth and WIFI-Direct together.

NO ROOT: Use 'Activity Launcher' to remove accounts, grant/revoke usage access

Did I miss a thread on this? Did anyone think of trying this or something similar?
I've been trying to find a way to sneak AppOps onto my Fire 8 HD, 2016 with NO ROOT. I've read in a few places, some have had success installing via ADB shell. I however, have not. But it didn't stop me from trying or to find an app or workaround close enough to it.
I kept seeing a few posts about Activity Launcher and other "shortcut apps." I was skeptical, because without root and seeing how over customized Amazon made their Android based OS, I didn't think this app would give me more than a few options to toggle, at most. I thought I would be lucky if any of the changes I made actually saved to the device. I admit when I am wrong and in this case, I'm wrong...so far.
I literally just installed this app and spent the last hour and a half, going through just the 'settings activity' drop down menu, changing a few things. So I've yet to explore the other activities and their settings.
****IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE YOU GET STARTED:**** Amazon will constantly try to override your preferences and reset them to their liking through OTA updates, even while you're setting them. Because of that I *HIGHLY* recommend you install a no root firewall such as NoRoot Data Firewall (there are a few others with more or less of the same options, but I've grown to like that one and it's the one I use) and block ALL Amazon apps and apps with 'OTA' in their titles from connecting through both WiFi and Cellular networks. Though I know cellular service is not enabled on these tablets, for peace of mind I blocked access there as well. If you don't block access from Amazon, these settings are likely to be quickly reverted and you probably won't know it until you look again, or the original settings reappear.
Secondly, though some activities may have several upon several settings to choose from, I can't get or Amazon won't let all of them load, therefore I can't see the choices or change their settings.
My device rebooted once, on its own, during exploration and toggling, but I think it was Amazon getting aggravated with my firewall blocking their apps access after killing them.
****I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE SHOULD YOUR DEVICE BECOME BRICKED, STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP OR ANY OTHER NUMBER OF THINGS THAT GO WRONG AS A RESULT OF CHANGING OR REMOVING ANY SETTINGS.****
Below is a rundown of what I did so far:
Download and install Activity Launcher: Activity Launcher APK or from Google Play Store.
1. Tap on the link for 'Activity Launcher' above, to install it from the Google Play Store.
2. Open Activity Launcher
3. Tap the drop down menu in the upper left corner and select 'All Activities.' (Yes that's A LOT of activities!)
4. Browse if you like, but scroll down until you see the 'Settings' activity and tap on it.
There are about 3 dozen or so activities you can tap, most of which will load and most of which you can edit and change. Almost none of these settings are available to you though the regular device interface.
Accounts:
The first one I tapped was 'Accounts.' It will list ALL accounts registered to your device, whether you added them or not. I only have 2, none Amazon related accounts listed, Google and FireFox. Neither of those account settings will load, probably because they are not native to Amazon and the settings related to them can only be changed through the actual accounts. You can tap on ALL Amazon related accounts and a variety of settings will appear. For example, I tapped 'Whispersync' I was able to stop it from syncing by tapping the three dots at the top right. I was also able to remove the account from the device! You may need to perform that step a second time.
I stopped Prime Photos from Syncing, but I am unable to remove the account. You can long press the individual tasks and a screen will briefly pop up that has something to do with 'Fire Launcher.' It disappears too quick for me to see anything else. I haven't done anything with the Kindle or primary Amazon accounts. I'm not sure what will happen if I do so haven't yet gathered the strength to try anything
Apps With Usage Access:
After exploring the above, I scrolled down a few spaces to 'Accounts With Usage Access.' You have no idea how happy I was to see this. All the apps you installed that require usage access, whether you knew it was granted such access or not, are listed here, including the Google APKs you installed way back when.
I went ahead and granted the usage access to the apps I was already trying to grant it to; Greenify, NoRoot Data Firewall and All-In-One Toolbox. I *revoked* access to all of the Amazon apps listed; Appstore, Content Management Service, FreeTime, Help, Parental Monitoring Service and WiFi Locker. I left Storage Management alone as I am not sure what will happen if I revoke it's access.

Whew! That tiny bit was a lot to do and take in. Now the moment of truth was upon us. Were the changes we made to these settings, if any, holding?
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
So far Yes! Now the hard part. We reboot. I admit I was breaking a sweat as I knew the possible implications of doing these things, but my tablet rebooted with no problems whatsoever. The best part about all this? The settings I changed HELD. The accounts I removed, stayed off my tablet!!! :victory: :victory: :good: :good: :good: :victory: :victory: :victory:
I had similar luck yesterday with granting Greenify special permissions through ADB shell. Much to my surprise, and seemingly without any hassle, the commands worked and the permissions were granted. Again, no root. The only downside is you have to pay for Greenify Pro if you want tom get a chance at freezing any system apps and even then, there's no promise all system apps will be listed. But at least I was able to grant the necessary permissions!
I will explore and play with Activity Launcher throughout the days to come and perhaps Greenify may make $2.99 profit from me later tonight

Thank you for this tip it helped me a lot.

Many thanks

Great tip! For those using Nova and who have enabled widgets you can create permanent shortcuts to activities on your home screen using the Nova activities widget.

Indeed! The one thing Nova surprisingly lacks (could just a be a fluke oversight) is the ability to make website URL shortcuts. However, If you have successfully activated widgets , you can download and install 'Website Shortcut' to add URL shortcuts to your desktop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deltacdev.websiteshortcut&hl=en
Here is the link to enable widgets: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/root-required-widgets-preferred-launcher-t3637813

The three dot menu in Chrome 'add to home screen' works for me

So with this we can freeze Fire Launcher, and get Nova to be default without the Launcher Hijack?
UPDATE: I click on Home on that Setting and see all the installed launchers, but selecting from that doesn't take effect to make one default; Fire Launcher always picks up on press on home navigation.

thanks for the tip! great to get access to some important settings. works well on fire hd 10 2017!
one thing is a bit unconvenient though. some activities can't be started and the 'activity launcher' crashes when you try to (i am on 5.5.0.0).
an alternative with even more detailed activities is QuickShortcutMaker (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut). and the best thing is that you can add activities to your favorites and start them directly from there without loading and searching for them again.
@DragonFire1024 one question: can you also revoke permissions from apps the way you granted them for greenify, e.g remove internet access for certain apps? i know there is noroot firewall but if you already use a 'real' vpn this is a nogo as you can't have 2 vpns at the same time...

If you properly edit the APK/app XML you can Chang all the permissions you want, but will have no effect on system apps as of yet. Currently trying to work on a way to fix that.

eXtended Permission Manager - a small app to manage permissions and AppOps.
Features:
Using eXtended Permission Manager, for each installed app, on single screen, you can:
View, grant or revoke manifest permissions
View AppOps permissions and choose one of multiple modes
Set your desired reference value for every changeable permission
The app evolved from a shell script to a GUI for my personal needs. After a ROM upgrade or changing device, it's a time-taking process to review all installed apps for granted permissions and revoke the unnecessary ones (after all privacy matters). To come up with a solution, you can set reference states of permissions which can be quickly backed up and restored. Colored bars at left indicate reference states and make it quite easy to review packages and permissions at a glance.
Manifest permissions are those normally called permissions e.g. Storage, Camera etc. AppOps (app operations) is a robust framework Android uses at back end for access control. With every Android release manifest permissions are becoming more dependent on AppOps. So it's fun to control both simultaneously and see how they relate to each other.
In short, AppOps provide a fine-grained control over many of the manifest permissions. Plus it provides additional controls like background execution, vibration, clipboard access etc. Explore the app to see more.
And yes, the basic functionality of Permission Manager X is completely free and open-source. No ads, no trackers, no analytics. You are encouraged and requested to support the development. Source code is available at below Github link.
Required Privileges / Permissions:
In order to let Permission Manager X serve you at its best, either the device must be rooted or you need to enable ADB over network.
android.permission.INTERNET is required to use ADB over network. The only connection made outside the device is to check for app updates.

Thanks for a well thought out useful app
Used it when switching to Android 11 on a new device. Was able to achieve required permission state in a few minutes

Yes. Using PMX you can set BOOT_COMPLETED (if available), RUN_IN_BACKGROUND and RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND. This answer explains in detail: Disable autostart on boot and restrict background execution.

@mirfatif Hi, when I start your app and give it root permission, it still says "Getting root privileges failed". What can I do?

Also great to have it available on F-Droid!

Hello and thanks a lot for your app, so great to use.
The features that may be very useful to add are:
- being notified when an app is installed to set permissions;
- being notified if an updated app from a store have new permission to set;
- order apps by : installation date / updated date / name / number of permission allowed to app;
- navigate by app or by permission;
- set automatic recovery.

Hey there, I am using an app that could load some files without issue on android 10 but this no longer works on android 11 ...
... I thought it might be due to the fact they've changed the permission system to access the phone storage in android 11 ...
any idea if PMX could help me solve that issue ??
Thanks !!

I purchased the app in Google Play, is a great app. I like a lot that I can remove the permissions to read/write on Clipboard. That works great and there are a lot of things that you can control. I which just one thing to be added on the future... an option to allow all the permissions per app and set a separate parameter for how long and then return to the previous values. For example... an app Notepad S app, fully restricted, but before using it be able to click an option to set only to that app full permissions and the amount of minutes, once timeout the app return to fully restricted. For now that is a manual process for some of the permissions. I love the app and hope more people get this from Google Play and support your work.

(1) So if i understand correctly, the permission enforcement is there as the periodic check can notify or even fix the permissions. (2) Now the second important aspect: enforce newly installed apps. In this case, there's just notification? I'd find it extremely useful to be able to drop all (a la XPrivacyLua) or selected permissions (via template a la AppOps app) from the new app until it's manually reviewed (which could be never - no problem). Not only because the new apps get often started asap and do their antiprivacy stuff, but also because some lazy users will simply won't review them at all, and let for example, Facebook malware grab contacts asap.

Yes you are correct. Both Schedule Checker and Permission Watcher help you enforce permissions.

Good point. Actually it's no way a problem for PMX to drop permissions when it's already showing a notification for a new app. But there is nothing to drop when a new app is installed. All the revokable manifest permissions are already revoked until the user does not grant them. And the AppOps: many of them don't appear until at least once used by the app e.g. VIBRATION and READ_CLIPBOARD. Many others have their corresponding manifest permissions e.g. READ_CONTACTS, which are already revoked, as pointed out.
Profiles / templates is an upcoming feature. We are working on it.

Contacts cannot be read in background without the permission explicitly granted by the user. And even after that, Schedule Checker is there to remind you that you haven't reviewed a newly installed app so far.
Thanks for the feedback. It's appreciated.
