I have GCam installed on my mind as lite, but when I try to access it from lock screen, it says camera error, it needs permission, and when I go to the app permission, there is no appropriate option.
What is the solution please?

Is there a way we can manage advanced permissions in OOS? What I exactly want is to prevent WhatsApp from modifying my contacts. It shall be able to read my contacts but NOT alter them. In custom ROMs, we can select what's allowed and what's not in the sub-heading but OOS allows either complete access or complete denial to contacts. Is there any app which gives me custom ROM-like permission manager in OOS. TIA
I don't have an answer for this. I thought initially that it could be done with Xposed and Xprivacy, but in a quick test it seems to be an all or nothing effect, even with expert mode enabled. I searched the Play store and there a couple apps that claimed to be able to do what you are asking, but I didn't test them. Or maybe you can use the pm command to revoke the permission from the apk? I have no idea if that would work or stick after a reboot. It would probably also be undone whenever the app updates. I.e. pm revoke <package_name> android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS
I'm on Android 6.0.1 stock. I had earlier installed the RedMoon app which is like what f.lux does in Windows. But if that app is running, you can't change the "app permissions" manually. You have to pause/clsoe the RedMoon app and then you may disable the permissions.
Otherwise, you'll be prompted with this error -
Screen overlay detected
To change this permission setting, you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps.
Anyway, later I uninstalled the RedMoon app but still I can't change the default permissions unless I'm prompted on the first run.
e.g. When I installed the Snapdeal app, even before the first launch, it had all the permissions, but I don't want to give sms/contacts permissions to it. How do I change it?
If you go to the application manager in your phone's settings and find the specific app you want to change permissions for, there should be a permissions option. You can each permission the app has there. Also, the next time you get a popup about the screen overlay, click the Open Settings option and scroll through the list of apps to find any that show the toggle in the on position. For me, the two apps that have screen overlay permissions are Messaging and Facebook Messenger. I have to disable them each time in order to accept permissions, then I have to re-enable the overlay later. It's a stupid system and I'm hoping the release of Android N will find a more elegant solution, but for now it's the only workaround I know of.

Apps made before MM's permission changes don't prompt on demand and are all granted. When you try to disable one of their permissions in a list it will warn you that errors may occur.
I've found a workaround for quickly disabling an overlay for permission toggling. I posted it here:

In my micromax canvas a1 I don't know how to disable the screen overlay setting ????
Anyone knows how to use Snapchat with LineageOS because everytime I try to log-in I get this error: Oh no! Your login temporarily failed, so please try again later. If your login continues to fail, please visit https://support.snapchat.com/a/failed-login What its basically saying is that while signing in, the app searches for SuperSU and root directories on your phone and if it finds them, the app blocks the process. Any Fix? I haven't turned on ROOT on LineageOS
DO NOT TELL ME THAT I HAVE XPOSED BECAUSE I DO NOT USE XPOSED AND I DONT HAVE IT INSTALLED. Snapchat is detecting root now
I am using Moto M XT1663 with Android 6.0 While trying to enable Settings-> Google ->Security->Allow remote lock and erase, the phone gives message "Settings" can not be used, please try to allow permissions. Then it shows permissions screen for Settings app where "No permissions" is seen. There is apparently no way to give permissions to the Settings app?
Can anyone help with suggestions on how to give permissions to Settings apps?
Thanks

In an application i am trying to get to work, it says I need to grant it "Do Not Disturb Access" but when i try, the settings app always crashes.
Is there a way to do this manually?
