If you're on Android and rooted, use App Ops X. It allows the revocation of individual permissions, like location, wake lock (a battery waster), and others.
Every time I install a new app, I look at Ap Ops X and see what perms it's using and revoke the ones I don't want it to have.
- drdaeman 13y agoI'd recommend XPrivacy. It's much more granular (function level ACLs with some argument-level filtering), so one could allow connecting only to specific hosts or opening only allowed file paths on external storage.
- Groxx 13y agoSeconded. I've been using XPrivacy for quite a while now, very stable, very useful. It also shows you the last time a call was made, so you can see e.g. that a variety of apps try to access your contacts after asking you if you want to allow it, even when you say "no" (which is not necessarily shady behavior, but still frowny-face inducing).
