        When you look at the apps in the store it warns about full system access. It says it for dekko2 and uadblock

            Yes it warms, it's to inform you, so that if you don't want an app to have full access, you don't install it.
            BUT that ddoesn't mean this app will immediatly brake your system OR steal data from you, that just tell you that, in order to work properly, and make what it's designed to do, it NEEDS full access.

            Those kind of apps MUST be open source to be published, and are manually reviewed by owners of open store.

              @Headgas That is a general warning that needs to be in place to remind people to take care. Those apps have been checked and the developers in the case of those apps are well-known and trusted. So the risk is there in theory but not in reality.
              Another similar app that many think is vital is the same and needs full access to do what it does and that is UT TweakTool.

                Uadblock wants a password to start... but it doesn't have an option to create an account or anything.

                  That's device password, you must set it in the settings (lockscreen). It's not an external account.

                        Several things, but be carefull, here, YOU can brake your system if doing things you don't rule...

                        You can, for example, modify display sizing (for launcher and/or full system).
                        You can manage apps, uninstall them, or erase their datas (cache, settings...).
                        You can tweak the behavior of touchscreen.

                        You can also, but don't, make your system full writable (thus full erasable and then broken).

                                      Basic thing is to double check settings especially security settings against a working version if that email account elsewhere. Also for Gmail you need to enable less secure apps in your Google account security settings.

                                          @Headgas It is there under the Security tab. Just under third party apps with account access.

                                              @Headgas Try a web search then on allowing less secure apps in Google account settings. You need to be logged into your Google account to do it. Without that Dekko2 will not work with Gmail. I know it's there because it annoys me being told to turn it off by Google.
