Manually granting extra permissions

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.

This permission allows changing system secure settings, used in 3C Toggles and 3C Toolbox. Those settings includes:

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.
