Can it stop Google Play Protect from removing permissions on apps you haven't used in a while (while still leaving scanning intact)?

Unlike most people, I pay attention to and carefully configure permissions for my apps when I install them. Only to have Google tear down all that hard work a few months later :-S.

Others also feel this pain:

Not sure why the stock app hasn't got a Disable checkbox for that feature, wondering if there's a LineageOS-friendly equivalent that does.

Yeah, I know your pain. What's worse, there is/was bug in some roms/GP versions which reset this setting upon reboot. Ugh.

I don't know how to turn this misfeature off. Lineage just has a generic slider on a per-app basis, but it still requires revisiting each apps' settings page.

It should be possible with lsposed, but I haven't found such a module.

You can deactivate this feature on a per-app basis.

Yes, but you'll have to do it for every app you ever install, one by one.

And unfortunately there's a several seconds long wait for the screen to refresh in between each one (at least on my phone and others' I've seen).
