Hi Everyone,

I want to know how to Enable and Disable SELinux on Android OS.

I have downloaded a Terminal app on my Samsung S3.

Code: Select all

getenforce

gives me result of "Enforcing"

but

Code: Select all

setenforce 0

permission denied.

I have been trying to disable SELinux on Android 4.3 for a while now and this is what i came up with.

On Samsung S4 Android 4.3, setenforce 0 will change to Permissive mode.

On Samsung Note 3 Android 4.3, setenforce 0 will NOT change SELinux status.

I have tried Nexus 4 Android 4.3, however by default it is Permissive mode

You need elevated privileges to disable SELinux.
