Hey there,
since a week I own a Note 10.1 2014ed with LTE. So far I didn't modify anything on it and run the stock -MJ2 firmware.
I want to restrict some apps of accessing what the don't need to access and since 4.3 supposedly has this rights control feature called "App Ops" already integrated, I checked how to use it... Google gives many links to descriptions how to open the feature, they are all the same: Either you use a launcher that can start "Activities" (like Nova launcher) or you install one of the many apps from Playstore which do the trick as well.
Here is what I found on the Note:
Whenever I start the App Ops (no matter if I use an app, and I tried several, or start this activity), it just takes me to the first page of the Settings screen (WiFi).
Although searching the web for a while, it seems no one who owns this Note is using the feature or not having the trouble with it.
Can someone confirm this problem or, even better, give me a solution for it?
Cheers

I have that very same thing happen with something totally different. In wanam when I try to enable the flashlight from lock screen feature it takes me tu settings page nothing to do with camera flashlight or lock screen.....No idea I just gave up for now
Hmmm, no one interested?
I'm just wondering now if people don't care what their apps are accessing or if they use a third party program to make restrictions.
Any idea how to control apps will be welcome. If you use sth like LBE, please leave a reply.
Cheers
Hi there again.
Since there is no information available throughout the web concerning my question I was in contact with Samsung support about it. I thought it might be helpful for others what was replied.
They said that using the original Samsung Firmware, the feature cannot be used. They didn't specify whether it was completely removed from the system or only disabled so itcould possibly still work.
Since I am not a developer I didn't go into more detail there.
Now I hope that a custom ROM like Cyanogen will be available soon for the tablet.
Sent from my SM-P605 using xda app-developers app
I'm facing the exact same issues.
When following the windows opening when starting App Ops from e.g AppOpsX, a window titled "App Ops" opens quickly, then closes and ends up on the Settings screen. Same for flashlight.
My best guess was that Samsungs version of the Settings App blocks access in a way that they can only handle windows/panes that their app is capable of - would explain why it shows up just quickly and then closes.
I've been thinking that if I'd be able to flash the stock settings app, temporarily freeze the Samsung one and try App Ops - might work?
I have the same issue. My p605 is not rooted
I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact running Android v4.4.2 (build #14.3.A.0.757) and I rooted it yesterday using Easy Root Tool. The rooting went off without a hitch and I’ve installed Titanium Backup and a few Xposed Framework modules. The battery life is just as great as before and the device is working great, in general.
However, some third-party apps are crashing upon launch, like Attendance Tracker and Tapatalk, for example. And if I tap on any drop-down menu anywhere in the configuration for Tasker’s plugins, that plugin crashes. Also, I cannot use Face Unlock anymore because it crashes when I tap on it as well.
Can someone please help me fix this? Thanks.
Turns out it was due to this one Xposed module that supposedly adds fast scrolling everywhere. I uninstalled it and all the problems have vanished.
Well, except for Face Unlock, which still crashes the Settings app. Not sure how to fix that.
But anyway, please feel free to close this thread.
Hello,
COuld you say me is it possible to disable Smart Manager on my Galaxy S9 (or other technic) because i have a game (DB Legends) and i would like this app not autokill.

Yeah, they got sneaky and made it a setting and not an app. Have you tried going to Device Care>Memory, hitting the 3 dots and adding it to "Apps that aren't checked"? Also turn off the option "Put unused apps to sleep" under battery settings.
thank you to interest you in my question I already tried but it does not work, would it be possible to disable it by rooting?

***Works on ONE UI 4, 4.1 and 5 for all versions of s20, s21 and s22 (now works on S22U too)***
Due to some bad optimizations by Samsung , we are facing a lot of battery issues and a couple of random lags. With this script, I have got something between 7h and 9h of SOT.
In a few tests in Brasil, the users are getting a much better battery life. This script have some things like:
=> Removing items that can sometimes be undesirable according to the user, so you can select wich services will be disabled, such as bixby, AR camera features, microsoft apps, google apps (not the main like gmail and photos, but the secondary ones like bookmar provider, docs), ANT (there are people who don't even know what it is so this is usually useless here in Brazil).
=> Disable the Camera Light Sensor which is a bug on One UI 4.0 and 4.1, galaxy S have a light sensor to calculate the automatic brightness, however, since One UI 4.0 it ends up using the front camera for this, annihilating the screen time of the device. When camera light sensor are disbled, the device will properly use the dedicated light sensor and the automatic brightness be more responsive and battery friendly.
=> Enable the option to disable Ram Plus, where the 0GB option will appear in the options above 2GB, which you can disable if you want (Recomended only on ONE UI 4, because One UI5 comes with disable RAM Plus option available) .
Throughout the script, it will ask which item you want to be removed, so if you use DEX, just answer "n" when it asks if you want to remove it.
Resetting the device to factory defaults will completely reverse everything the script does, so it is not permanent and does not void your device's warranty.
The procedure is simple:
In your cellphone:
1 - Enable Developer options and USB Debug:
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information click on "build number" several times until it appears that developer mode is enabled.
2 - Now go to Settings > Developer Options and click enable right at the top of the page and look for the USB Debugging option and enable it too.
3 - Connect your phone to the computer and if a window appears asking for permission, grant it (you will be granting permission for your computer to access your phone in developer mode. If it doesn't appear now, no problem, this window may appear later when we run the script, but it usually appears right here.
On your PC:
4 - Download the script:
ONE UI 4 and 5: Debloat and optimize Galaxy S20 S21 AND S22 for ONE UI 4-5
5 - Extract it and run the "debloat and optimize" file (perhaps at that time the aforementioned window will appear on the cell phone asking for permission).
The script will guide you asking for all possible options which are 10:
Remove Microsoft apps?(You can reinstall the app later from the playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Netflix?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Facebook?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Google Apps?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove DEX?(You will no longer have the DEX function)[Y/N]?
Remove ANT?(If you don't know what it is, you can remove it without fear)[Y/N]?
Remove Bixby?(You will still have the bixby routines, but no longer the voice assistant)[Y/N]?
Remove Augmented Reality Functions from Camera?(You will no longer have AR Sticker in Camera)[Y/N]?
Apply adaptive brightness correction? (by disabling the camera light sensor, improving auto brightness response and increasing battery life)[Y/N]?
Enable Ram Plus extra options? (enable options to increase or disable Ram Plus in Settings, Device and Battery Support, Memory) [Y/N]?
6 - When it finishes, the phone will restart. All options can somehow be reversed by downloading the apps from the Play Store again, except for DEX, Bixby and Sticker AR mode, but which can be reversed with another script that I'm still building or resetting your device to factory defaults.
Any doubt I will be available
My personal options are: ONE UI 4 - Y for all except dex (because I use dex, if you won't use, you can safe remove)
ONE UI 5: Y for all except Dex
After the script you can safe reinstall some apps back like Facebook and Google from Playstore, but now this will comes without Samsung bloatware.
Edit1: the link are updated to a new version fixing one hand mode
Edit2: release of a version to apply on ONE UI5.
Edit3: Unifying One UI 4 and 5 scripts, added new options for Game Launcher, ledcover and Wellbeing, doesn't disable Android Auto anymore, and added fix for media provider Bug in all S21 series.
and finaly the link to rollback the script: Rebloat ONE UI 4.1+ (works on ONE UI 5 too)

I can't see any difference with battery life on my s21 fe after debloating by your guide. At least it didn't go wrong either.
Hi. I can't run the script for s21 with OneUI 5. the grant permission window doesn't appear. No window after connection and after runnig script too. But another version of ADB (from minimal ADB tool) on my PC is working and permission window is appearing when it is need. It seems your ADB version have some modifications. How can i run this script with another working ADB on my PC. I've tried and cleared "Revoke USB debugging authorisations" too. But no changes. Thanks for any help.
UPD: it is working on another PC. Thanks!!

I'm on Android 13. You mean to run the same script and press "N" in all cases ? Or there is a refreshed link in the first post ?

I did updated the file for One UI 5. You can download it again and run. I have suggested "n" for all because this skip direct for optimization lines (only for not override your previous selected options). On this version, you will get at the end one message like: "S21 variant detected". If this message appears, the proper code for fix media provider are executed well.

Open message app. Go to settings -> notifications. Check if "allow notifications" are toggled. if yes and still no receiving notifications, on this same path, go to "notifications categories" and check if all your categories have notifications allowed.

I did everything correctly, but there is no message like you say should be. I did it twice just to be sure. Look at the screenshot below. Everything seems fine to me.

Yep. Thanks for your feedback. With your screenshot I found the bug. I will fix in a couple of hours, but if you want to try you can fix it in one of two ways:
1- the easyest way: right click on .bat file, search G991 and change to G990, save and run again.
OR
if you know about adb, you will run "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.google.android.providers.media.module" (without quotes)

It looks like battery really lasts longer. However. I noticed that I am missing digital wellbeing and game launcher.
I assume that script deleted them? Does reverse script returns them? And if it does should I?

I'm uploading the new version with this two packages selectables (you dont need run it). To restore this two disabled packages (wellbeing and game launcher) you need run this scripts:
Wellbeing reenable:
Digital Wellbeing reenable.zip
drive.google.com
Game Launcher reenable: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12lzbApvl66zlEMSlWhveVx3rh88wCE2U/view?usp=share_link
