4.3 jelly bean - Other apps to manage permissions?


I used to use - and loved - LBE Privacy Guard which allowed you to revoke specific permissions from specific apps.


Ever since AT&T finally pushed out Jelly Bean for the S3 though, it no longer works, and puts my phone into a endless reboot loop.


Searching in the market, I couldn't find any other app that does this (though the are plenty that just let you SEE the permissions of all your apps).


Anyone know of another app that does the same thing as LBE?

On XDA you can find multiple threads discussing this issue, and at least one of them also holds modified versions of LBE to download. Take e.g. a look at:



Alternatives to LBE would include:
