Seriously, LBE privacy guard is a great permission manager for any, and all rooted phones. It doesn't crash apps when you deny permissions, unlike the built in managers. I figure everyone should know what apps are accessing your data, and be able to control it without crashing your phone.

For those of us who want to block network connection, certain permissions, etc. but can't use droidwall (because our kernel doesn't support it) we now have two alternatives!
Permissions denied (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stericson.permissions) and LBE Privacy Guard (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lbe.security)
I use LBE Privacy Guard and it works like a charm on my X10MP running CM7 v14.5 by slade87. Haven't tried Permissions denied but it looks like it has similar functions.
I am also usimg lbe privacy guard in minicm7 in x10 mini and it works flawless. Also never knew that many of the installed apps take so many information from our device. This app has lots of options to give full control over the installed apps. Great app. Kudos to dev.

It's a real eye opener what many apps try to access!
Do they have a whitelist of allowed applications that can use data over 3g?
With droidwall you can sett those programs that can use 3 and block all others, would want something like that .

You can set which apps have access to data. Unfortunately, it doesn't distinguish between wifi and 3g. So the app either has access or not.

Found that out,-thats one app i would need. To be able to use 3g and only allow some apps to use data.
I was wondering if there is any way to modify an apps permissions on BAMF or by using any root app. I believe cyanogenmod offers this feature and I was curious I'd BAMF or a general app could do this as well. Thanks.
Also I'm aware that you can use sdk tool to do this if you feel like extracting if to your computer but if possible Id like to find an app that can do this and save a little time.
there are two apps that i know about, lbe privacy guard, and permissions, or permission dog. cant remember that last name. i personally use lbe and find that it works in most cases such as denying an app access to messages or contacts and such and network access. permissions work the same way i think but it requires a reboot to apply affects and i think it denies a category throughout all apps, not just a certain one
My dad just got his EVOLTE and is worried about all the permissions on apps. I tried to explain to him how any why they work but he is still worried. I remember reading about CM7 and the ability to control what permission the apps can really have access to. Is there any app that will do something similar and have the ability to revoke any permission from any app on the phone?
He is unrooted but I can root the phone if need be.
Thanks
Hello.
I don't understand what the note 'Not for use by third-party applications. ' in the permissions description ( developer.android.com/intl/ru/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#FACTORY_TEST ) really means. What I thought first is that apps in Google Play Store shouldn't require these permissions and that such permissions are only for use by system preinstalled apps. But there are lots of apps in Google Play which use such permissions. For example, this app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ImaginationUnlimited.instaframe requires android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS which is not for use by third-party apps.
So, could anyone explain which applications are allowed to require permissions marked with 'Not for use by third-party applications. '?
Hi,
My android device is rooted and its 4.4.2.
To control auto-start app, I installed Clean Master and allowed it for root access. I stopped many apps that start automatically. To control start-up app, I installed Boot Manager Xposed. Apart from these I installed other apps also for controlling auto-start and start-up app.
However, I have following concerns.
In spite of above, I see many apps like browsers, shopping, news, etc; automatically in Running Apps.
Whenever I close any apps, I remove them from Recent Apps also. And I keep Recent Apps empty/clean. However, most of time I see closed apps are still in Running Apps. It means those apps not closed completely.
I do End Process for all unwanted apps manually every time from Running Apps which is ridicules for me.
Till the time, I don’t call/tap any apps, I don’t want see them in Running Apps and once I close any app, I don’t want to see them again in Running Apps.
Please let me know to control them. All apps for which I have concern is user apps like Shopping App, News Apps, etc.
Regards
