Hi! Does this mechanism (Intent Firewall) the same on how it is implemented on AppOpps (Rikka)? I recently read that starting Android 10, root permissions does not guarantee that setting app op permissions and disabling receivers and updaters will persist and sometimes the app has the ability to turn on/enable receivers that were turned off. Thanks!

Intent Firewall (IFW) is different from app ops. App ops are related to permissions and Intent Firewall is used to block certain application components.

Read the following section in the docs for more info:

  • App ops: https://muntashirakon.github.io/AppManager/guide/app-details-page.html#app-ops
  • IFW: https://muntashirakon.github.io/AppManager/faq/app-components.html#why-are-the-components-blocked-by-am-not-detected-by-other-related-apps
