Some apps have annoying permissions like installing shortcut on the homescreen (everytime u open it). How do I disable these permissions? (see picture)

  • Speaking explicitly of "installing shortcut", if you are rooted, you can just go disable a corresponding broadcast receiver so no apps can put a shortcut on that launcher anymore.

You can try using NoAutoShortcut if your phone/tablet is rooted and Xposed framework installed. It is an Xposed module that prevent apps from creating shortcuts.

  • I think Xposed doesn't work on 7.0+

You can try App Permission Manager available on Google market. It pretty much handles permissions with ability to overriding them.
