My problem with Android vs iPhone is the inverted security model. On Android the app tells me what it is going to do and I have to take it or leave it. I end up leaving it and thus have no apps. On iPhone I can finely tune which permissions I allow an app to have. Any fix for this on the horizon? I am a fan of the more liberal app store policy on Android, read bitcoin, but not to the extent where I would allow apps to have more access than I think they should.
- Zak 13y agoApp Ops was available briefly and did exactly what you want. Google made it inaccessable in 4.4, claiming it was only intended for testing. It's possible to restore on a rooted device, but more sophisticated solutions are available with root. At the moment, I use XPrivacy, which has very fine-grained control, confirm-on-use for permissions and the ability to supply fake data. As far as certain apps are concerned, I'm in Pyongyang.
