Since Android 5.0, it’s possible to grant extra permissions to apps, that in turn enable extra features.
I cannot provide help or instructions as it will be considered a Play Store violation: Apps that provide instructions on how to hack services, software or hardware, or circumvent security protections.
Please check FAQ or search ‘extra permission’ or ‘3C Companion’ on the site for more information.
- android.permissions.BATTERY_STATS
This permission allows reading battery statistics, used in 3C Battery Monitor and 3C Toolbox.

On Android 12 and above, this permissions is obsolete and brings no added balue
- android.permissions.READ_LOGS
This permission allows reading apps’ logs, used in 3C Toolbox or 3C Log Reader. In 3C Toolbox it also allows modifying certain behavior like full-screen, rotation and forcing screen-on depending on app.
- android.permissions.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
This permission allows changing system secure settings, used in 3C Toggles and 3C Toolbox. Those settings includes:
- WiFi and GPS localization
- USB storage
- Stay awake (when plugged)
- Unknown sources (installing APK manually)
- Debug mode (ADB)
- Background data
- Auto-synchronization
To enable any of those permissions, you will need a PC or Mac and ADB software installed and your device connected through USB, or check 3C Companion.
