How do I change permissions for apps on my Fascinate, and can I safely do so?
I use LBE privacy guard. Very easy to set up. Kinda scary to see how often your being spied on.

There's an app called "permissions " - it works pretty well for most apps

Also throwing this out there, CM7 has permissions management built in.

Sorry XDA will not let me post Outside links so go to the Android Market type Permissions Denied and READ THE DESCRIPTION then download it

To just deny internet access, try Droidwall. It's a great app, and the process it uses (changing the iptables) is much more reliable than whatever method the other app uses. I've tried Permissions Denied and it seems to work occasionally but not all of the time.

This is an awesome app and does exactly what it says but can anyone tell me if there's anything about this app that could negatively effect our phone (options or features? I know setcpu was a no no)? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422479

Any apps for blocking permissions that actually work? I installed permissions denied but it never got past checking/fixing permissions. Would love to get total control of permissions.

MIUI based secuirty app... It deletes SuperSu.apk/SuperUser.apk and takes control of permissions with even controlling access to other data. Or just straight allowing everything.
I use it on which ever ROM I happen to be running.

Won't let me block Facebook. more like system apps. Why?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Edit: converted Facebook to user app through titanium backup. But how do you get it to show trusted or system apps?
Is there an app or some way to disable individual permissions per app? I want to not allow certain apps access to WiFi/data without turning them off.

A firewall app for rooted phones should prevent some apps from accessing the network Google play has a lot, but you will need to be rooted.

This app claims to boost performance of android device, how do it work. More importantly is it safe as it ask for SuperSU permission, what is SuperSU permission anyway. I think I heard somewhere that superSU just mean allowing access to the SuperSU app, am I right or is this goong to give the app control over EVERYTHING (ie malware heaven).

Super su or superuser are apps that help you control what has access to your phone. Once rooted your phone becomes mostly free to use as you want. Having an app like supersu will help you keep malware at bay as anything requesting root access needs to go through it. So you aren't open for attack unless you grant something malicious permission
As for the app you want, I can't say how well it works but there are for sure some that help on older phones in particular. Usually any of the tweets an app like this offers you can do yourself manually, this just makes it easier to use. Try it out, if you don't like it delete it

App dont seem to do anything. Could be a case of malware. Like wallpaper apps that ask for dialing permission. Unless ofc other have something good to say about it.

I never used this application, but if you want to increase performance, use Adrenaline engine or Fly on Mod
