Can't grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

[woland66]

I am trying to grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS on a new t-mobile Samsung A32 5G and have no luck.

Tasker continues to say that there are missing permissions and

adb shell dumpsys package net.dinglisch.android.taskerm |grep SECURE_SETTINGS

does not return a line with "granted" in it.

If there is a solution -- I would appreciate any help.

Are you granting it from a PC via a USB cable? Did you try to grant other permissions and did it work?

[woland66]

Yes, from PC (Linux) via a USB cable. I have not tried to grant other permissions since I did not need to (I could try if someone suggests what are the appropriate permissions and packages to try). I did successfully use other adb commands such as changing airplane mode radios and removing some bloatware so adb itself is fine.

I granted these:

adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW

adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.DUMP

adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.READ_LOGS

adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.READ_CONTACTS

adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.READ_SMS

adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG

Thank you! I do not know what was wrong.. my first try with READ_SMS seemed not to have worked. Then I added and removed SMS permission manually in the phone's settings. Adding READ_SMS worked in adb, so I tried WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS and it also worked.

Thanks again.
