The LG v20 doesn't seem to have an easy way to edit app permissions. I haven't been able to ifnd any way of getting to the hidden access lock permissions menu. It appears they have completely removed the Access Lock menu altogether.
Anyone else having any luck?
Are you referring to the App permissions located here:
Settings -> Apps -> Select App -> Permissions ?
Looks like they finally took it out. It was a nice multi year run. It was very handy but not sure it's really needed in Nougat.

Hey everyone. I saw that there's a whole topic on this, with some INSANE methods for enabling this. (Such as bringing something over to your computer, and what-not)
Required:
SQLite from Market
Root (SuperOneClick, z4Root, whatever)
1. Go into SQLite
2. Scroll to com.motorola.android.providers.settings (Settings Storage)
3. Tap settings.db
4. Tap settings
5. Scroll down to _id70 force_only_market_apps
6. Set the 1 in the value field to 0
Voila. Unknown Sources. All done from your phone.
That's a quick fix. So that is the only file that we need to modify? Do we need to change permissions or anything? Im waiting for the phone to get here, will try it when it get here.
The only one. No permissions needed. The SQLite app takes care of everything for you. Only turn-off some people might have is that this is a paid app.
I was able to sideload this app and edit the DB with it to allow non-market apps.
Works wonders...had been waiting forever to do this to my wife's phone...just waiting on ROM now...*excited*
I tried to use and phone said do not have permision. Yes I have root.

Hi,
I've got a problem with the app tasker.
I am rooted without using SuperSU over cm12.1.
Tasker won't detect my root access.
What should I do?
Secure setting plugin is installed...
I've tried to manage the mobile data via secure settings plugin but it doesn't do the trick neither...
any suggestions?
Go into Settings > About and tap the build number several times, until you get a notification saying "You are now a developer!"
Then go back to the main settings screen and look for Developer options. Go into developer options and look for Root acces. Tap on that and set it to Apps. Or set it to apps and adb. Done. Otherwise just install SuperSU from the playstore

I've already enabled root access via CM.
That wasn't the problem.
I found a solution if anyone stumbles on that thread:

I figured out a way to Wi-Fi tether successfully on the SMG - 530t1 using the T Mobile firmware. This only works if you have a rooted device.
The first thing that you will have to do is go to the Play Store, and download an application that can convert user apps to system apps.. after that, you will have to look for the application APN manager and install it. Then open the system app mover and move the APN Manager to the system partition. After this, restart your phone. After your phone is restarted, open APN manager, and you will find an apn called T Mobile tethering or something of that sort. Select the check mark next to it, and press on the menu more options or the four dots on the bottom of your screen AND PRESS ON DELETE. After this you can tether without any issues
Hey, so just wanted to ask if anubody knows any apps/xposed modules to revoke permissions and such? Purenexus had this implemented, but since they dont offer cmte version anymore im using du now and really miss this feature. Mainly i just turn off permission for start at boot and prevent from sleeping, but every app i tried doesnt really work. Any suggestions? Thanks
go to settings > device > apps > tap gear icon or the three dots > app permissions
or if it's a permission you can't edit there... XPrivacy
Hi, I've been using LG for a while and had been using a rootless permission manager to disable some permissions that arent named on the stock settings app. But it is not working on the v20. Its called "LG Access Lock" on the playstore. Anyome know of any similar that do not require root? I know root is available but I dont feel comfortable enough to risk messing up and bricking my one week old device haha. Thabk you in advance.

The app SD MAID (PRO) accesses all permissions (App Manager Section),but,unless you're rooted,that function does not work,nor does the disabling (freezing) function.
I suspect all apps similar to these have the same limitations w/o root access.

Looks like LG finally removed it. I used it on G4 and V10 but I used QuickShortcutMaker to get to it but it's not in settings anymore. Not really needed on Nougat.

SD Maid (Pro) actually does get into the permissions deeper than what is listed in SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS, but,you cannot toggle anything more than the stock settings unless you have root.

Access Lock was in LG builds since 4.3 and looks like they finally took it out with 7.0. It wasn't accessible just by going into Apps- permissions.
