App Ops (Access Lock) works on V10

[anon(782252)]

I posted this a few months ago on the G4 forum before I moved to the V10. Here is my thread there:
App Ops ( Access Lock ) works on G4 - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

It basically allows you to restrict permissions (such as location, camera, keep awake) to downloaded apps.

It was originally in Android 4.3 but then hidden in 4.4 and going forward ( coming back in M).

No root required. It's no Xprivacy but it certainly helps.

Here are the directions:

Download Quick shortcut maker on the play store.
Open it, change 'incremental search' to ' normal search' and search for Access.
You should get a Settings option that you can expand. Look for one labeled 'Access Lock' and click on it.
You can then try to see if it works or just make the shortcut.
Use the shortcut to open Access Lock and start removing restrictions.

There is also an app on the play store that does the same thing as the directions above. I believe that app is linked in the G4 thread.

I loved this on the G4. Set it to many of my friends' g4s, thanks for the reminder.

For people using Nova Prime (not sure if other launchers do this), you can create a shortcut to control access to things instead of installing another app to do so...
- Go into Nova's widgets section, then at the top, Activities shortcut, scroll down to settings and expand, select Access Lock
