> The lower level of permission is already granting you Linux filesystem ACLs to the database file; the only difference between the two permissions comes down to what ART will allow you to request through the higher-level API. I get what you're trying to say, but perhaps you mean the ContextManager / ServiceManager, which isn't tied to ART at all, but Binder (Android's primary IPC mechanism), instead. Re: Linux ACLs: Yes, those flaws existed, but don't think they do anymore (see also the blog I linked above).
