Hi guys,
I have an idea against access-hungry apps on Android, since Android is so open, why don't we make an access emulation layer, if an trivial app asks for SMS and Contacts access, grant it, but you can feed fake data to it whatever you want, sort like a firewall to malicious apps.
This would involde several API hooks, is this idea plausible?
There is already something similar on iOS Cydia: Protect My Privacy
Not exactly what you invision but check out LBE Privacy Guard or PDroid Privacy Protect in Play Store. They both make fake response to privacy requests from apps such as Phone ID, Contacts, etc...
DROIDS WERE NEVER SO SECURE!!
With APP Lock, you can protect your installed apps so you don't have to worry about your friends deleting your CONFIDENTIAL data on the phone!!
Features:
1.Protect installed apps using password or pattern.
2.Startup protect service / stop protect service.
This app is available for FREE on Google Play Store!!
Here are some screenshots and the apk file!!
Enjoy!!
Hi.
I thought I would clean my app permissions a little bit leave apps only permissions that they really need. I have Gmail app on Android 6 (Galaxy S7 Edge) and now it asks me every few second to give it the following permissions:
calendar - why would it access this?
camera - does it want to take photos of me with out me knowing it and send these to google so that they could sell my data?
contacts - is it because google wants to send spamm to my friends who are in phone book?
Mic - does google want to record what I speaks so that they could find out what I talk about at home and possibly steal my startup ideas?
telephone - what useful can this app do with that?
body sensors - why would google want this? Do they sell even this data?
SMS - does google want to read the contents of my private SMSes so that they would know what I talk about? What useful could google do with it?
1) Does anybody know how these are useful for Gmail or is it just because google wants to steal everything it can steal?
2) Is there any trustworthy alternatives that do not harm my privacy so much?
3) Is there way to use some kinds of containers or something to protect my privacy? Like run apps like Gmail in it's own sandbox where it has all rights it wants but sandbox would emulate it empty phone book so that it would be able to steal stuff but wouldn't complain either?
Any ideas?
