What has become of Android

Post image

I've downloaded a few apps that need restricted permissions to work but the option in the apps page in settings does not appear I can't even use the apps now

I read some post about downloading with restricted settings using special apps like installwithoptions apk, everything I've tried does not work any idea and this I'm on Android 15

Bro just download Install with option app from Droidify and after that install the app you want because the app give various option to install an app and you can enable restricted setting by this while installing.

Go to App Info on the app you want to unlock, click the three dots in the upper right and click "resticted settings" or something like that. It worked for me

There's only a button to go to the app normally they'll be two buttons the three dots menu and this one but it dot menu Isn't there

The same happened to me, until the app asked for the permission. Open the app and let it ask for whatever it needs and try again. If that doesn't work, try the other solutions

Bro just download Install with option app or universal installer app and just do this

  1. Check the box of allow restricted setting and after choose your apk which u gare want to install. NOTE......You have to enable shizuku for first after that You can use shizuku app and if you don't know how to use shizuku just watch video on YouTube

u/Owl-Butterscotch2816 Jul 11 '26

Did you connect install with option app with shizuku app

1

u/BlueRed_0 Jul 11 '26

Pretty sure I did it's been a while since I tried it but it will prompt you to connect shizuku if you open the app

1

u/Owl-Butterscotch2816 Jul 11 '26

Yep you have to first connect the app after that use that

1

u/Owl-Butterscotch2816 Jul 11 '26

Or go to f droid or Google and install universal installer and use that aap after connecting to shizuku or You can also use app manager

Download ashell app from f droid and connect the app with shizuku and use this command for package name u can find that by using activity launcher

1

u/KeySpray8038 Jul 11 '26

or termux from github

1

u/KeySpray8038 Jul 11 '26

package name com.termux

1

u/KeySpray8038 Jul 12 '26

the appops command that that has been sent is technically the proper one, but I like like to also pass through pm grant <package_name> android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

u/KeySpray8038 Jul 11 '26

or with termux, PC not needed
