I'm using the Chinese Find X, and when I try to give permission to an app to use WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS via ADB.
I enter this:
adb shell pm grant it.simonesestito.ntiles android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTING
and am met with:
Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: grantRuntimePermission: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS.

I have never had this problem with a phone, Chinese ROM or not.

I also tried enabling immersive mode, and received:
Security exception: Permission denial: writing to settings requires:android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

I couldn't find anything on Google. Can anybody help me out?

The more you dig into Chinese rom, the sooner you will find that Chinese android sys is not android, it's AnZhuo......

Apparently, the permission is removed for this operation.

    In developer options, enable "USB Debugging (Security settings). If you do not know how to enable developer options in android, search google.

    You have to turn off the last security option in dev mode on your X. Did not remeber the name.

    Thank you. Spot on!
    I kept getting this error, despite enabling USB debugging, and able to connect with adb shell. And by disabling the permission monitoring setting, I can change the Android settings now, and this is for Realme C2.
