Wifi Direct power consumption
Is the power consumption using Wifi Direct the same as when using traditional Wifi (for internet connection)? I'm guessing it may depend on if your device is acting as a legacy client or as an AP, so maybe it's roughly the same when acting as a client? And is it much more power-consuming when the device is serving ...

How to prevent S3 from turning on when charging

As soon as I plug the phone in to the wall charger, the screen turns on and the phone tries to immediately boot instead of staying on the 'battery' screen pre-boot. I've tried an XPosed module to disable the dock settings to see if that was the problem but it...

Is it possible to install an app and exclude some of its requested permissions?
Occasionally I want to install an application which requires certain permissions that I feel it really shouldn't need. Can I install the app without giving it these permissions?

Setting custom permissions per-application
I want more granular control over permissions. I’m fine with applications having some permissions, but I want to be in charge and have more granular control. Can this be done on Android?

How Do I see hidden folders on Android?
This always happens to me. Someone tells me to access some folder on Android (in this case `/sdcard/Android/data/com.android.lmt/`) and I can't find it. I'm using the "File Manager" app and asking it to show hidden files and folders but I still can't find the folder. This happens a lot. ![Screenshot](http://i.imgur.com...
