I discovered that on the phone, there's a special app permissions menu in the app management settings. Here, it displays the following permissions: Modify system settings, device and app notifications, usage access, access to all files, WLAN control, and floating window. Among these special app permissions, I found that only Termux requested floating window and notification permissions. I'm wondering if Termux attempts to request these permissions, could it potentially have more functionalities under non-root permissions (such as proot)? This would only require requesting these special permissions at the time of activation, similar to how system-native file managers need to request access to all files when accessing certain directories.
