So, I've downloaded the app named clear lock, which supposed to block the internet and wifi for productivity purposes.
I get this message when I tried to open the app:clear lock needs permission. Find "apps with usage access", and enable clearly know. I can't find the place to enable this permission.
Can you guys help me? I have the factory rom, no tweaks.
Permissions are in the Security menu. Apps with Usage Access is in Additional Settings/Privacy, scroll down near the bottom.

Yea, that's the thing, I don't have it. Already looked for it, and it's nowhere in the menu in additional settings/Privacy.
Somebody?
Go to Settings - Additional settings - Privacy - Apps with usage access - Tap on the app - Permit usage access.

Hi guys is there a *secure* way to hide android apps without requiring to root?
By secure I mean that the invisible apps cannot be easily found by other users and would require password.
I know Go launcher provide hiding app function, but it is very stupid. Anyone can just click on the "hide app" button and see what is being hidden....
Sorry, but I don't think that it is possible without root.
Really? ...sad
but Thanks anyways
Other launchers hide the "show hidden" option better.
There are a couple good ways to hide apps on android, and without root too!
Launcher pro's hide apps option is buried in their preferences, not everyone will see it unless they really know what they're looking for. Another app is called smart lock. There a lite and pro version. This app can lock any apps you program to it and also give a false "force close" notification when attempting to open a locked app. A certain function will then lead you to a password pin screen to unlock it. For quick access to a hidden app you can assign swipe gestures to the icons on the dock. Where as if they're pressed normally they will open the default app. Swipe gesture to open an alternative app of your choice. Hope this helps?
I recommend Clauncher. You can use two fingers press the screen and move inwards to open a hidden app window.

If this was posted before, I apologize. I just found out that on the G3, there is built-in software that allows you to manage what each application has access to, such as keep awake, camera, location, etc. I use Nova Launcher, so the instructions below are specific to that.
Long press on the homescreen and go to Shortcuts > Activities > Settings > Access Lock
Next you'll see all your installed applications, simply click on one and change what they can access!
Thanks for posting this... I have not been able to look into it yet.
Hi, this may have been asked before, but I can't seem to find a straight answer for it:
I've got a Huawei Mate 10 Pro. The damn phone keeps killing apps running in the background, no matter how I configure the "Launch" menu. Is there any way to prevent the phone from killing apps running in the background? Even the 'Lock' button on the apps in the app manager screen doesn't prevent that from happening!
It's worth mentioning that my phone is not rooted, nor is going to be any time soon, since it seems so much riskier to root this phone than it is with other phones.
.......delet.....
Go to settings - battery - launch and find the app you don't want to be terminated then change to manual mode(ensure that you enable the 3 options especially run in background)
Or go to special access - ignore Battery optimization - select all apps then scroll to the app you want not to be terminated, tap on it, select allow then click OK and exit

Loving my Mate 20 Pro, coming from HTC U11 big difference! (though to be honest am missing my phone a bit :crying: )
Anyway on the HTC I had the option to hide apps from the app list/drawer. Not uninstall them, just hide them from the list of installed apps. Is this possible with the Huwaei? Don't want nosy husband/kids to know all the apps I have installed. And yes they all have access to my phone
EMUI has a "Hidden Application Menu" which you can access by doing a two finger zoom gesture on the home screen (reverse of a pinch)
After opening this tap the + to add apps. Then just pinch to go back to normal.
Just remembered - this is disabled by default on the M20P so do the following:
- Install "Tweaker for Huawei" from the Play Store
- When you go to turn on the hidden application menu it will say you can't and to download an addon
- download the addon and tap to install it - you will be prompted to allow installs
- enable the hidden application menu then restart the phone
That should be it.

Thank you! I have installed and installed the add on and enabled hidden application menu no problem. I am zooming in on all screens, nothing. Zooming in on all pages does nothing, and cannot find a setting anywhere to hide an app.
You need to zoom out XD
Aha I actually meant out as in a reverse pinch. Nothing a happening
And your setting in Tweaker looks like this?

Yes exactly.
Then I don't know That should be it as long as you restarted the phone after enabling it.

I can now hide applications running on my Mate 20 pro
I have been faced with the problem of hiding applications but applied the solution suggested by you, but I must explain to you why you did not work first after you have all the steps listed + restart the device must return to the same option and activate it again and on activation you will see a message that was activated and after this step You must change Drawer and make Standard and then work with you

Hello, if you change "Drawer" to "Standard" and now hide the app and then select back "Drawer", does the app stays hidden or it shows inside the app drawer?
Thank you

Thanks Man!
Often when I press the recent apps button to choose an app that I was just using, the app resets (often I have to re-enter the app password - extra aggravating).
I reset the cache partition but can't think of anything else.
As info - it has been occuring since I got the phone. I doubt it's a RAM issue because I'm using the same apps the I was using on a much older phone.
Any help, please?
Check battery usage settings. Look for optimized apps and disabled it for your apps.
If still not working, try this:
Activate Developer options by going to Settings -> About phone.
Tap repeatedly on Build Number (5 times). Go back to main screen of Settings and tap on Developer options.
Scroll down and verify the following:
-> "Don't keep activities" is off
-> Adjust "Background process limit" to "At most, 4 processes". (default is standard limit)
