This is a great guide for those who don’t want to root or install a better OS from scratch! Thanks for doing this. One thing I wanted to call out is that AppOpsX was last updated over 5 years ago, so it might be abandonware, not too sure though. Another one in F-droid is Permission Manager X, but beware: it includes a Material Design package that includes code from Google. Its a shame that even FOSS apps can be dependent on The Goog now…
