Techgen did you know (or any body else) what to do when I got this message
Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES is not a changeable permission type
by trying to grant permission ?

    mg5077 Which app are you trying to grant access to? You can try granting it this way
    adb shell cmd appops set <packageName> <permission> allow
    Instead, (If your version of android doesnt support it, try without the cmd). But it can be a tricky issue (installing the app with -g should grant all requested permissions)

      mg5077 I never looked in to the set edit app, sorry

      • TechgenLevel 6 - Platinum Elite Member

      mg5077 Which app manager? Is there something special it can do? Is there a specific reason that it shouldn't work on the classic, or you just want someone to modify it?

        Techgen it is modified already. it's have a option to grant/revoke permission and enable/disable activity
        so I hope with the permission will if work
        and here you have a link to it;
        [Login to see the link]

          Techgen now I got this error
          Error: Unknown operation string: android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES

            mg5077 is there a command to grant all permissions (after installing the app)?

            mg5077 K, I hear your plan, I'll check it out when I have a chance, but alot of these apps require you to have root access for the advanced features to work

              • TechgenLevel 6 - Platinum Elite Member

              mg5077 Not that I know of offhand. Must be some restrictions for the settings app, which is funny because you can disable the whole app, but not activities

                • TechgenLevel 6 - Platinum Elite Member

                mg5077 Sounds like either you typed something wrong, or its not supported on your version of android, so it doesnt recognize the command

                • TechgenLevel 6 - Platinum Elite Member

                mg5077 on regular adb you just do adb install -g <path to apk>, im assuming it would be the same on webadb

                  • TechgenLevel 6 - Platinum Elite Member

                  mg5077 It needs to be done without android.permission, just do PERMISSION_NAME

                    How do add a mouse to modified apps?

                    Techgen no, I just realized that I'm unable to disable a whole app
                    (I have the classic).

                        mg5077 What app are you trying to disable?

                        • TechgenLevel 6 - Platinum Elite Member

                        mg5077 Any app, or system apps, or the settings app? I tested system apps on the xp3 and it works

                        mg5077 Oh well, guess it doesnt work on your system ☹️
