AppOpsX is an Android app for individually managing permissions, which can overwrite permission settings of the system. For example, you can disable an EVIL app that sniffs your IMEI information by disabling its Phone permission in AppOpsX, even if you allowed Phone permission in the system Settings app. This is quite useful when such EVIL apps refuse to work without permissions.
For more details, please visit the introduction of the original project.
- No need of adb or root when running (but needs root or 3rd-party recovery for installation).

Caveat: The backup for IFW settings is automatically saved at /sdcard/Android/data/com.zzzmode.appopsx.sys/files/backup/ifw_backup.xml. But this backup file will be removed if you uninstall the app or clear its data. If you allow storage permission, another backup will be automatically saved at /sdcard/Android/ifw_backup.xml.
Same as the original project.
