Permission disabler - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello all I am not sure if this it's the right place to post this, but I was wondering if anyone knew or knows of any way to disable permissions for an app. My reason being there's a rise in apps with permissions they have no business having. Facebook messenger for one, scanner radio and many more. I fear that trying to disable certain permissions without properly breaking an app down might break it,like not let u run it. I know this is a stupid subject but if anyone can shed some light on this situation it'd be much appreciated thank you

Depending on the ROM you can usually be fine disabling permission you genuinely find intrusive. For instance on vanir...

This app does the same thing. Neither of them do more than open the same activity that was found a while back.

I was using project x 3.9 and wasn't sure if I had the feature I am now running cm 11 4.4.4 and have since made progress thank you

Certain addresses refuse to load?

I've had it happen with a few select websites, but it became a lot more apparent when I had an app fail as well.
I've cleared/wiped everything that I could think of, turned off preloading, etc
Examples:

A lot of the ROM's advertise "no ads" in their descriptions.
I looked at the hosts file on my phone that came with FreeGS, and indeed, games.espn.go.com is blocked.
Take a look at yours... Its in the system/etc folder. If its blocked in yours, use a simple text editor to remove that line from the hosts file and then reboot.
You will need to be rooted in order to make changes to the hosts file, I believe, but if you re on a ROM, you are already rooted.

Very handy, hopes Google finishes in a future 4.3 update and put it on app management screen.
It's handy, AOKP had it in the settings.
Beamed from my Maguro.

let's see them on 5.0

yes, and you can try "App Ops Launcher" on play store to launch the "App ops" on android 4.3, it is just only 7kb.
It's a good start but I would like to see more granularity in the permissions. For example, for some apps I would love to be able to block GPS while still allowing coarse location gathering.
Very Interesting, but 4.3 still has room to improve in terms of stability. But I am sure that it's definitely better than 4.2

Nice addition. Thanks for the heads up i missed this.

(Query) Casio G'zOne CA-201L

So it's actually a Korean phone. I'm currently residing in the Philippines.
I bought it from some guy here and all the network services are fine like calling, texting and data.
Problem though is that contacts are shutting on me and my signal bars are showing nothing all the time even if I can make a call. There are other issues with it too. Like on start up still says that I cannot use the card even if I can and the gzone app like the gzworld is not locating my gps and is still based on Korea. And there's this app Tan Tien and it's like the Vietnamese version of go sms and it won't let me update it. Says something about an error.
Anything I could do on it? Already has custom rom but it's like Vietnamese or sumthing and I can't understand it.
I already read threads about this phone but most of it is confusing and I just wanna start fresh on it. Here's the current build on my phone. I'm a newbie in roms and all that.
Please be gentle with the jargons. Thanks.

Bump. Please move my post if it's in your wrong thread.

I'm also from the Philippines. I bought mine from a Korean guy thru sulit. I also had the same problem that you're experiencing until I installed the jelly bean rom. I suggest you follow the steps in this forum tinyurl.com/kan8h6o. Please also read the whole thread as you may experience some issues with jelly bean. Most of the solutions are there.
Thanks man. Maybe you can hit me up on my Gmail at [email protected] If i get sum problem. Thanks.

Hmmm. No issues here. Try another gps app? Like gps status.

Check the location settings. The gps was disabled on mine by default so it was only using cell towers to provide location.
High precision, activated... Having issues there is anyway to calibrate it? Im crying, sold my S5 for this new G3..

Call T-Mobile and see if they can tell you what to do. I know you can go into the special settings by entering a code in the dialer, but I forgot what it was.

VPNs won't connect.

I am running 5.1 rooted on an H810 if that makes any difference.
About a week or two ago my VPN stopped working and now no VPN works at all. I have been using Private Internet Access successfully for almost a year and other VPNs have worked as well.
I get no error message from the PIA app, it just doesn't connect. I downloaded CloudVPN and it just pops up with "VPN Permission: Cloud VPN needs your permission to continue. Your privacy is important to us and we do NOT monitor or track any of your data.", and gives me three buttons, No Thanks (goes back), Help, and Try Again (pops up the message again).
I'm kind of at a loss. I've dealt with tech support from PIA and have not gotten anywhere.
Could my issue be due to credentials? I cannot clear them, as the option is greyed out.
Sorry if I'm confounding the issue. I'm getting pretty frustrated and my Google-fu is obviously not as good as I had thought it was.
have you checked the adb logs for any errors?
I've never done that before. I just downloaded the catlog app and got a log. What exactly am I looking for?

Factory reset fixed it. Now I get to spend the next few days finding all the little settings I need to change back.
