SettingsFirewall

An Xposed module that blocks shitty apps from accessing your system settings (for example, check if development settings is enabled on the device, or check if there are running accessibility services).

Please note that only accesses to system settings (e.g. Settings APIs or /system/bin/settings get) can be intercepted by this module. Accesses to system properties (e.g. android.os.SystemProperties APIs, __system_property_get or getprop) or other system APIs cannot be blocked.

Usage

Requirements: Android 4.3+ devices with a root Xposed framework installed. This module requires to hook system components, so rootless Xposed frameworks (e.g. LSPatch, VirtualXposed or TaiChi-Ying) cannot be supported.

For LSPosed users, select only “System Framework” and reboot.

For Dreamland users, select “Settings Provider” (com.android.providers.settings) and reboot.

FAQ

Q: Why is this module using the old Holo / Android Design?

A: Thanks to all Material Design 3 (Material You) missionaries, I had to uninstall many apps and rollback my Android system to an old one to avoid being attacked by your new “amazing” design. Happy now?
