- mac-attack 10mo agoI hate to sound like a those pesky Kagi supporters, but that is built into Graphene OS.
- gruez 10mo agoIt's not, though. If you deny location permissions the app will still know and pester you to enable. Same with other sensitive permissions with the exception of internet.
- ikekkdcjkfke 10mo agoThis has been a thing for rooted devices for a long time with faking senstive data on android Although i wouldnt root any sensitive devices nowadays
- aembleton 10mo agoThats a shame, I used to be able to pass fake location data through on an app by app basis using an Xposded module. That was probably 10 years ago though.
- mac-attack 10mo agoIsn't that a moot point with the graphene location proxy tool?
- gruez 10mo agoAre you talking about their network location provider? That doesn't do anything to spoof location. It just allows querying apple (optionally via graphenos proxy) for the location of nearby wifi networks, rather than going through google play services. Apps can still figure out whether you denied location permissions.
