Have you ever come across Android apps that ask for unnecessary permissions on your device and annoy you? A simple Android puzzle game that needs full access to your Android network doesn’t make any sense… right? Well, if you’re a non-root user, there’s not much you can do. You can choose to install the app and live with it or not install the app and look for a better alternative.
However, for the rooted users, now with the Xposed Module for Android called Permission Master, you can control the permissions of all the apps installed on your device. This tool can revoke/grant a certain set of permissions, including those installed as system apps. So let’s see how Permission Master works and how it can be useful.
Like any other Xposed module, download the Permission Master app from the repository and activate the module. Once done, reboot the device for the changes to take effect.
What is Xposed? If you are not familiar with the term and you want to know more about it, check out our detailed article on Xposed Framework before you continue.
When you launch the application, you will see two sections. The first tab is the Permissions Tab, which lists all the permissions used by any app installed on your Android. When you tap on a permission, all the associated apps will be displayed in the list. For example, permission Full network access will list all the apps installed on your device that have permission to use Android’s network to access the internet, even in the background.
Cool Tip: If you’re not sure what a certain permission means, you can long-press any permission to see more details.
Now, if you think that an app that doesn’t really need permission to work, like a regular offline game, will only need internet access to show ads, you can deactivate it. that app using Permission Master.
inside application In this section you can see a list of all installed apps on your device and after tapping on any app you can see all the permissions granted by the app. Then, tap the permission to revoke it from that app. System apps can also be configured after you enable them from system settings.
Note: Be very careful when revoking permissions. If you revoke the required permission for the app to work, you may get a force close screen every time you launch the app.
Conclusion
That’s how you can manage specific permissions for each app on your Android device with this simple yet powerful Xposed module. The app is free and doesn’t have any ads, but you can donate with in-app purchases to support the developers. So give the app a try and let us know what you think.
