[Q] App that lets you select permissions for apps?

[PoOoZaQ]

Hello.

You download an app, it gives you a big list of what permissions it wants, and you can either agree to it or not use the app...
Is there someway of limiting those permissions? Or provide fake permissions?

Like in most iphone apps you can choose if you want to allow gps, contacts, etc.

I am searching for an app thats will limit those permissions prior to installing it. Won't do me any good if I want to deny contacts access but I do it after its already taken it.

Cheers and thanks


P.S. I'm using a rooted LG G2 d802 with android 4.4.2

I don't think it's possible, even Google's last Play Store update doesn't reveal every single permission when you update stuff, dunno if this limitation affects it or no.

You can use "app ops" (search for it in google play). It is a hidden menu from android os. Obviously it works after installation (iOS works the same, you first install the app and later you decide which permission accept/deny).

Try to search "3c toolbox" in Google.
This app has many integrated tools within it.
You can change permission also.
Good luck
