Firstly, I'm using an AT&T Fuze, stock ROM and I'd like to keep it stock.

I installed the signed version of Opera Mini 4.2 and, under permissions, it doesn't allow me to change the permission for "Write user data" as well as "Read user data". I've looked through the forums trying to find a solution that doesn't involve flashing the device.

I took a look at the selector.utf file and here's what it looked like after I installed OM (I haven't uninstalled any of the stock apps as yet):

Initially, I thought I could just copy the permissions from, say, Wikimobile to the OM permissions line, but this makes no difference, the options to read and write data are still unchangeable and locked to 'Never Allow.' I also don't know what the fg_permissions is for, but removing that makes none of my applets show up in the manager.

I forgot to mention, on my Tornado (using Intent's java), I can install the unsigned version and, tho I get annoying confirmation messages, am able to save and read data from the phone. Is the esmertec manager on the Fuze just kinda broken and useless? Why do some apps have permission and others don't?
