[Q] Apps With No Permissions Shown - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Just want to ask how to view the permissions of apps installed but with no permissions shown(even "This app does not require permission.)
Does this present problems for security?

if it doesn't require any permissions then it won't have anything to show.

[Q] ROM Manager Account permissions - safe?

ROM Manager asks for Account permissions ("Use the authentication credentials of an account")
I've read their explanation of it (using Web Connect), but is it really safe to use this app?
Not feeling comfortable granting this permission, and have found very little info on it and what it actually allows.
Just noticed Whatsapp asks for the same permissions. What exactly does this permission allow?

[Q] App to list all Apps by permission?

Hi,
is there an app that lists all installed apps by permission? That way I could list all apps that automatically start at boot... Or those that like to read contact data...
Permissions Denied looks like you need (you will need root access).
If you're looking for an app that will just list and sort the permissions for all your apps try Permission Explorer:

i found this: permission explorer and the lbe app that requires root but blocks some permissions

SickPerm App

Hi guys, I developed this app:
SickPerm can show you other apps permission. You can browse all your apps and see what permissions they have on your device. If you think one permission is not necessary you can check it and this information will save one a cloud to tell other users that this app uses unnecessary permissions.
Main Features:
1. Show all apps
2. Show each app permissions
3. Report app insufficient permissions
4. Scan service to alert you when installing reported apps
5. Uninstall apps
Please give me your suggestions
You can search SickPerm in Google play to find my app

Permissions File

I'm posting this here because I think that is something common to all Android Versions, I'm having problems with my room and the GAPPs, it is due to a Chinese phone with a Chinese rom and no Google installed at all.
I have successfully installed the Google APPs but these ones becomes system APPs and I'm not able to grant permissions through setting menu, it seems that system app permissions can not be managed from here.
Problem is that Play services aren't allow to access to SMS or at least that is what an annoying pop up says, so I'm wondering whether is any way to check that permissions on a file (xml or something like that) because I guess that changing permissions through setting menu ends changing some configuration file.
If I install some app using the apk, permissions can be manage from settings...
Answer myself. I leave the link down here in case somebody else need the info.

Question How to remove permissions?

When I want to remove phone permissions for Google Play Store, it is greyed out and says "Device requires this permission to operate". I don't think it does need this permission.
Is it possible to remove permissions either via root or any mod for apps that blurred out permissions?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
can you share a screenshot?
It will be much more helpful if you share device info as well
