Great ...gonna try it soon...
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
feedback plzzzzz;)
[Android Apps and Games] yashgourav505:
i have android 5.0, but it displays the msg "you can't modify your permission settings under android M"

what should I do?
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
Unfortunately now Parasol can only provide modify permission setting under Android M. So if it is running on android 5.x , users will have a good experience of reading all the permission tags without modifying setting.

do you think those tags are helpful or necessary?
[Android Apps and Games] palgaurav00196:
first of all the UI is great.....the app works as it should but I am unable to modify app permissions as i am on android 5.1.1 .....
[Android Apps and Games] Voterx:
Why you not include option to change perms on 5.x? There is no good app for that in 5.x, only xposed module.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Great, clean app... But why not make a root/Xposed option for this app so it can work on Android 5.0+?!? I think that'd be great and I'd be willing to shell out a couple dollars for it!! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Asiier:
Well so I had test the app for while and this is my feedback:

Awesome UI looks really clean and materialistic and really smooth and beautiful Windows/Animations , I got the error of not able to modify permissions on Android M even though I'm on 5.1.1 that should be fixed cuz I cannot use with my daily ROM.

Well so once I change my ROM to one in 6.0 the app worked perfectly, I didn't get any force close or something similar, just one thing I had encounter is actually does have some conflict with Cyanogen Mod Privacy Guard (at least for me) but I just deactivate the CM Privacy Guard and no more problems (The conflict between is that If you deny permission with CM Privacy and try to allow them with Parasol the will not be allow and vice versa)

Something else I had notice is that the statistics of how many people had allow and deny permission are a bit unreal first of all because this app is in his first stages and secondly cause some of the apps I have are not really popular only having hundred of download and the app is giving that more than a 1000 users had blocked certain permission of the app, I know that this will be improved with the time and when more people use this app the database will grow

I saw the app give you the ability of disable the sent of diagnostic and usage which is good :D

The last thing I have to say is that If the application is closed by the user or a third party app (Like Clean Master or some kind of task killer) will not reopen when we have a permission to allow of deny.

Overall really good app and looks really promising

If you need help with the translation just send me a PM and I'll be willing to help ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
Thanks for your feedback and glad you like the UI.

Under Android 5.x, users can read all the permission tags without modifying setting. It works well under Android 6.0.

Do u like the tags feature under 5.x?
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
looks very good. about the features please make it fully compatible with lollipop to deny permissions, after all this is the best and most needed part of the app
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Why not make it root for Lollipop devices?? So we can change permissions too.
[Android Apps and Games] -SyNdRoMe-:
OP, here a feedback: i was hyped about this app because i was looking for an app that could modify the permissions of every app without root, sadly, i realised that it's just a regular permission viewer app.

I like the UI of your app! Why don't you grant us lollipop users to have the same features ofMarshmallow? Overall it, it's a nice app but the most requested feature of the app is missing for lollipop users.
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
We must have the full features for lollipop please (rooted users at least) , also just for Marshmallow means that you have super small user base
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
I totally agree with you. I am still working on it.

I need to find a solution of modifying permissions setting for the OS below Android M. root is an option.
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
you're definately right. I am still working on it. I hope I can find a solution next week. Thx:o:o:o
[Android Apps and Games] Voterx:
, Ok, thanks. I am subscribed on this thread and waiting. App is awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
I am greatly appreciated for your feedback. I will make Parasol work well on lollipop as well.

Thx again~:)
[Android Apps and Games] -SyNdRoMe-:
Thank you OP! can't wait for that!
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
yes you're right!!! root is an option and I am trying to find a better solution.

Thank you so much for suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] Asiier:
I'm not a developer so I don't how things works, but you could look at AppOpsXposed (which is a Xposed Module and give you the possibility of Deny/Allow permisions) for see how it have been done ;):D
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
i do not know how to express my gratitude to you. you're really a nice person. thx so much for your valuable feedback and glad you like Parasol.

per your questions:

1. For Android 5.x, can not modify permission setting - I am working on it and will solve it shorly (I hope so:p)

2. conflicts between Parasol and CM Privacy: i think the reason is that CM Privacy customized the permission setting.

3. about the statistics of users: i guess you probably compared the downloads in Google play (a hundred) with the permission settings' number in Parasol (more than 1000). actually our data not only comes from the area covered by Google play, there are many other kinds of apk resources besides google play in some countries. That's why you found the statistics seem unreal.

4. cannot reopen: i will test it again and solve it.

I am highly appreciated for your help. Please stay tuned for the next version. Thx again~
[Android Apps and Games] palgaurav00196:
great news....!! subscribed.
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
new version 1.0.2 is available in Android 4.2 and higher.
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
Thank u soooo much.

I will release a new version very soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Fuzark:
U pretend make it works on Android 5.1.1 (the possibilit to turn on off permissions)?
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
The feature of modifying permission settings cannot be implemented in the OS lower than Android M though.

but it works well on Android M. I will make it work well on Android 5.x soon.

Thx~
[Android Apps and Games] Fuzark:
Sry! I don't understand. Cannot be implemented in the os lower than Android m, but u will make it work well on Android 5.x?

U will use xposed for that?
[Android Apps and Games] Snow_Ghost:
Great app. But will you please make it work on 5.1.1 asap. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
Yes, I am working on it, xposed is an option.

and also for 4.4+, hope so~

THX!
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
Thanks for ur support~ Yes I am working on it. I will let u know at the first time if i release the new version ~:):)
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
any feedback? I will release a new version this week~~~
[Android Apps and Games] Snow_Ghost:
The app looks really well built. But I have yet had a chance to fully test it, since it's not compatible with 5.1.1 yet. Anxiously waiting for the new version. ?
[Android Apps and Games] sirichais:
not working on android 5.0.2 samsung tab s 8.4
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
could u plz say more specific about "not working"? such as can't install, or can't run, or can't modify permission settings, or something else?

Thx a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
yes, the new version is on the way here, maybe arrive within this week. :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Snow_Ghost:
I'll be waiting!
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
Thanks for your support~
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
You guys can see from this pic, if u click the "Feedback", there will be a popup showing the permission usage of a specific app. All the users can define the permission purpose of this app as individual experience after use this app. After you submit your defination, i will analyze the data and return the result to all the users.

I just fixed a bug of this feature. Now the QUESTION is:

will you use this feedback feature to submit your choice?

if yes, do u think this is a good/necessary feature and do u think the results are believable?

if no, could u leave your reason for me?

Thx a lot~
[Android Apps and Games] Fuzark:
No. It is more a matter of privacy and sloth =p. but, I'm sure most people would use, see xprivacy, many people help.

I'm waiting for u app cuz xprivacy its a little confused, and appops its old and ugly.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Agreed. Waiting on root support for 5.0+!!
[Android Apps and Games] radogost:
Apps like this NEEDS to be open source. Will it be released on GitHub someday? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
yes i know you were worrying about that such an closed app interrogated your security settings without any assurance, right?

that's the case so far:

1. if the OS lower than 6.0: all the apps get permissions as default, such as contacts and location. Parasol just helps users to close those suspected risky permissions, it won't provoke any other problem.

2. if you still think it's untrustworthy, you can just disable the "Smart Setup" feature (supports Andorid M only), which is automatically setting permissions for users. then u can only check what kind of permission is required by a specific app, meanwhile, u can modify permission settings manually.
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
ok, thx for your answer, fair enough.

well. my intension here is:

a. Parasol can help users to check permissiona and modify permission settings, protect privacy;

b. the feedback feature is more likely designed for a very small part users (advanced users maybe) who cares and knows what the permission means and what the purpose an app use it.

c. for Parasol itself, if some users would like to submit valuable feedback for Parasol, it will enhance the experience of this app, correspondingly Parasol can show a more accurate data to users, like the percentage of the "Allow" selection.
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
do u guys agree that the permission suggestions are helpful to users?
[Android Apps and Games] Fuzark:
Of course man. U Just need to put a option to enable or disable it and let they choose. ?
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
Hi guys, new version is here~

For Android 4.3 till 5.1: can configure permissions after ROOT

For Samsung Note 3 in Android 5.0: all features run well (can configure permissions without ROOT)
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
but whyyy the added permissions?? we waited and waited for this veraion and rrrr i cant install that its too much plus you have root

I'm on LP
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
What permissions were added?
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
the worst - phone and sms.

for an app the fighting permissions, for it to work you add even more its ridiculous. dev should remove as much permissions as he can
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
if you can't install the new version, just try to uninstall the old version first and then install the new one.
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
For the new version update, if it crashed, just try to uninstall it and re-install it.

Thx and feedback plz~
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
you didn't understand, i "can't" cause i dont want to install app that demand so much permissions plus you have root. phone and sms perms are not needed
[Android Apps and Games] bigstunta101:
Love this app. Were you thinking about adding anymore features such as controlling which apps wake up device and auto start?
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Why does this app require phone and SMS permissions......?? :confused::eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Fuzark:
Just disable it with parasol.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
That's not the answer to my question... I want to know why.
[Android Apps and Games] EQ2000:
A permissions viewer and control app that requires access to SMS and PHONE? Other permission managers or viewers dont require any permissions. I smell bad rice with this app..
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
Trust me, that was an accident...I added those permissions just for test purpose, but i forgot to take them off before release.

I will fix this BUG very soon.

Thx all you guys
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
BINGO! u found the best solution~:p
[Android Apps and Games] bigstunta101:
Jesus people just disable the damn permission or don't use the app at all. Simple as that. No need for sherlock Holmes detective work out here for a free app
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
for some reason, I can't invoke AppOps interface to configure permissions, so "no ROOT" can't be implemented so far.

"SMS and phone permissions" was an accident. I am fixing it...

THX~
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
sorry for inconvenience, i added them for test purpose and i should take them off before release. i am fixing it...
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
great
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Same here, and now he's saying he did it by accident?? LOLOL... cmon now. I smell something fishy going on here..
[Android Apps and Games] control freak:
Installed the app on xperia ZL running lollipop stock rooted rom. Working perfectly fine. Great app. Keep up.

Was wondering, what is the "enable admin" feature. (found on top right >settings). What does that do?

Also the search function is not working. When i tap on it, nothing happens. Keyboard doesn't show up.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
plz do not over analyze, what i explained is the truth~:p

I already fixed it.

THX~
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Is the fixed APK posted?
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
ya 213 is the one
[Android Apps and Games] llite47:
Getting failed to set permission on my Gs5. Running the newest version(1.0.213).

Other wise like the app happy to see editing has been added.
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
Try the new version plz~the search feature is working now.

THX!
[Android Apps and Games] control freak:
Updated. Search is now working. But you didn't explained the "enable admin" feature. What does that do?

A very useful app. Perfect for my requirements. I replaced old app opps with this.

The feedback feature is great.

Also, can you add a feature that when the app crashes, I can send a bug report directly?

On a side note- Your website is too limited. It doesn't give information about anything.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
Thanks for your suggestions.

1. "Enable Admin": activate your "Device Administrators". About "Device Administators", you can find more info here if you're interested in it: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/admin/device-admin.html

2. Did Parasol crash fequently on your device? If yes, please let me know via any way. And I will think about your demand of this feature.

3. Ashamed of being lazy... I will improve my website after I release the official version.

THX again~ Keep in touch and more feedback plz~
[Android Apps and Games] indie0916:
same for me, xiaomi mi 4i
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
[MENTION=6905537]Parasol.cool[/MENTION] hey dev what is the "Parasol Privacy Manager" in accessibility settings exactly?

and tnx for the hard work please keep up and improve it (by also providing more permissions to set such as wifi/network access and more)

and one problem iv noticed is that some apps are not detected (those are the ones iv flashed through custom recovery)
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Any updates on this??
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
So will this app be updated anymore or is it dead, seems to be pretty dead to me??? [MENTION=6905537]Parasol.cool[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
iv sent a message to his email in the site, but no comment yet also. real bummer
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
root or not?
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
I am so sorry for the absence this couple of days. I am working on the new version and the coming version will be an official one so I attached great importance to it.

per your questions,

1. Parasol needs to use some API feature to implement "allow or deny" action.

2. Parasol is designed for Android 6.0 so there are only 8 permissions can be set right now.

3. because the database is not big enough so some apps can not be detected just like you said. I need every user (like you) 's help to provide more feedback and expand the database.

Sorry again for the delay. Please don't be angry with me. I will be here very often in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] Parasol.cool:
new version is on the way~

THX for your concerns. stay tuned plz~
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
hey dev good you come back, your about the only good alternative to app ops. :)

about the accessibility option, you told it needed for allow or deny - this option is off on my device and still the permissions are working - so what is it exactly (and you better put info about it in options or first tutorial when app starts cause i found about that option only by chance, its not described in any place.

more ideas

1 - how can we help in the database for unknown apps. seems very important

2 - it will be great if you will implant a "recently installed" section and "not yet modified" or something alike cause sometimes to check for new apps and keep track of none modified app permissions, its getting to be slow procedure.

3 - when we tap on all apps the scan is abit slow. and in the

right its says just the total permissions that parasol can change - it needs more info like how much disable (e.g. - 2/3)

that way we dont need to tap on every app to see (if we have alot thats a long process also)
[Android Apps and Games] Odeira.Oloap:
Good news, it works on a Note 3 stock 5.0 well. Although, I can't seem to disable the "Phone" permission for most apps here. I can disable permissions for "location," "microphone," and such with no ill effects on the apps. Or maybe it's because of the limited support of the Note 3 versus Marshmallow.

Anyways, thank you for this.
[Android Apps and Games] OT-Xtreme:
for some unknown reason parasol is giving me force close messages from today. never had and im using it since first release months ago.

"unfortunately parasol has stopped"

any ideas? too bad the dev is barely active..
[Android Apps and Games] Snow_Ghost:
Same with me.

Edit: A simple uninstall and install of the app fixed the issue.
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
Is a clean flash actually necessary? I have never done any clean flash (except stock) and haven't ever encountered any bug resulting out of my dirty flash (well, aside some problems with apps on the SD, which however were resolved quickly and easily). Wifi, network, speakers, microphone, everything working normally.

Anyone else having (bad?) experience with "dirty" flash?
[Huawei Ascend G6] Diogo Glória:
Yesterday i sent an email to huawei asking for the bootloader codes to my huawei g6-l11 and today they reply that they dont have the codes for this phone. Looked deeper into google and find out that dc unlocker already supports reading bootloader codes for this phone instantly :D

Here are the steps:

1. Download the last DC Unlocker Software

2. Install ADB drivers or Hisuite ( search forum )

3. Enable Manufacturer Mode, This is done by entering in dial pad code *#*#2846579#*#*, select "Project Menu", "Background settings", "USB ports settings", "Manufacturer mode".

4. Connect Phone to usb and open DC UNLOCKER

5. Open DC UNLOCKER and select Huawei Phones in manufacturer and leave the model Auto detect

6. Click on the magnifing glass and wait for detection

7. Voilá, the bootloader code appears in the BOX :D

8. Download Unlock Huawei Device GUI ( I cant leave links here but google is you friend :))

9. Put the code generated by DC UNLOCKER in The field and click unlock

10. TADAAAAAAAA Unlocked Instantly :D :D

Remember, you can use this method to get the unlock code and you can use other methods to unlock the boot loader, just search the forum :):good:

I have the l11 4G LTE

Dont foget to enable manufacturer mode, it is necessary for qualcom phones

and make sure that you have the correct drivers :)
[Huawei Ascend G6] Diogo Glória:
That is because you have modem in the field, you must select HUAWEI PHONE and not HUAWEI MODEM, hope it helps :)
[Huawei Ascend G6] persona78:
Hi! I have the drivers, I try with debug mode on and off, I change the connection in engineering menu like you say, try all the usb types and nothing....

https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail

Insert your data like this example for U10:
