Is there a way to backup android apps permissions? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I'm looking for a way to backup app permissions, in addition of their data.
It's been now 7 years I'm loyally using Titanium Backup to save my apps and data, however, since the first appearance of permissions, it's quite a pain in the *** to always have to give permissions again for the app I restore. I haven't found such a feature on Titanium Backup.
Do you have any way to do that?
Thank you very much.

Thanks to this link, I managed to find the file where permissions are saved. I'm going to save the file and try to put it back when I'll do a clean flash. I'll let you know if it works.

test results?
Good thinking Tomatot. Thanks for posting the link to filename and location. Was your test successful?

I'm also curious about the results.
Likewise, I need I way to backup these stuff
These permissions and advanced ones, like Draw Over, Notification Access, Battery Optimization, Change System, etc

The permissions-catalogue of what an app developer wanted an app granted is hardcoded inside app's AndroidManifest.xml file.
You of course can use Permission Manager X app to backup / restore app permission

Make SURE to back up your old apps.
Push them to /system/app
permissions should be set as --rw, --r, --r
Go to: Setting > Applications > Manage Applications > All
Find the app you pushed and clear data, clear cache, and force stop that should fix most problems you have then reboot.
Fix the error parsing problem... Open your build.prop (in System) and change sdk.version to 14

[Q] Application not installed

im trying to install readers hub from this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21816258&postcount=1030
Other people have it installed, why i cant? Im using SGS v.7 ROM, should i install it on system/app or something or i really dont know, i hope you can help me!
It should work, are you installing it before the other apps.
Try moving it to system/app and setting the permissions to rw-r-r

You have to install readers hub on your internal storage. To do this copy your file via root explorer into /system/app.
Then you choose the apk by tapping it for some seconds.

A new window appears and you have to choose permissions.
Now you put ticks in the first two spots in the first line, in the first spot of the second line and in the first spot of the third line. The other spots have to be empty. Should look like this:
Then you have to reboot. You don't have to install the app. Just reboot and the app will be installed after the next reboot
thank you it worked for me

Apps with usage access bug

I have Y5 prime has EMUI 8.0 based on Oreo 8.1
Got September security patch, installed it, ran into some problems, factory reseted it, then it was fine.
Afterwards, had this weird bug that prevent me from allowing apps to access data usage. I don't recall having that. I go to the menu through Settings>Apps and notifications>Special app access>usage access I can see apps which are allowed and those not. But i click and nothing happens. Any suggestions? I wanted to use some data montioring apps so it required this permission. Where other permissions can be toggled on/off normally (ex. Draw over other apps or Modify system settings)
I tried safe mode but with no luck.

Thanks in advance.
Another factory reset no luck.. Please any one ? can't use any data saving or monitoring app.. It's boggling me.. Can't use logcat cause I'm not rooted.. Can't flash any Firmware again.. Have no access to PC as of now.. Any suggestions what to do? Or how to approach it?

Add exceptions in MIUI10 cleaner

Hello, anyone knows how to add an exception for folder?
In MIUI10 it's not possible or I don't know how to do. Cause is I have a folder in my sdcard with all my apks, and the "cleaner" shows as "trash".
In MIUI8/9 cleaner screen was like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And only needs to uncheck the "category"
Now, in this fabulous update, It's like this:
And if I have 150 apk files, I need todo add 150 files, one by one, to exception list. Any workaround to do this?
Am following. I also have challenges on that as it doesn't give any option menu to add
Personally I think MIUI is going backward instead going forward
Following. Hoping for a solution. I can't add any app to exception. I don't have an SD Card installed if that matters.
Go to security->cleaner->scan now after scanning press on the file
Press on the file once dont press and hold
Now there should be a pop up with the option to add to exception
Let the scan complete fully to get the files list
Go to security->cleaner->scan now after scanning press on file icon then press one time data and cache below the icon. You'll get the option of add exceptions.

Recover a -deleted- app

So I removed the Galaxy Store app from my phone to test and see if I could reinstall it and use it as user app, that doesn't seem to be the case since it constantly crashes every time I open it
I don't really care that much about the app since the only thing I'm missing is the ability to download other fonts, but it's a bit awkward when I hit download more fonts and all I get is an App Manager screen.
So, is there any way I can maybe restore this app or getting the apk to work without having to reflash this thing yet again? Maybe an alternative app I can use that the system can recognize and get fonts from or anything of the sort?
bump
btw tried moving it to the sytem apps folder to see if that made a difference
nope

maybe there's a way I could edit this so it opens a different window?
