- aw3c2 15y agoFrom what I have seen you can only remove those permissions "late". Ie you have to black list permissions, you cannot deny them right away. From my understanding this would not protect me fully since apps could do their thing before I disabled it.
- biafra 15y agoAs I understand it: They can't. If you do not open them manually or restart you phone (if they have the permission RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) They are not executing. You can install them and revoke certain permissions before they are running for the first time.
- aw3c2 15y agoNice! I also remember seeing that permissions were reset on reboot, but that might have been some other setup, not CM.
- seltzered_ 15y agoI use cyanogenmod and didn't know about this, nor do I think I or most folks will ever remember to do such things.
