you can choose to enable permissions on a case by case basis if you install XPrivacy. You can either enable/disable permissions upfront, or have XPrivacy prompt you as an application attempts to access various functionality.
The downside is it requires root, but it works very very well.

- XorNot 12y agoWhat happens when you deny? That's the problem I have: I need intelligent denials. Like 'fake GPS location' or 'fake contacts'.
- Zak 12y agoXPrivacy provides fake information for a several permissions, including location when an app is denied that permission. You can manually set or auto-randomize the fake information. People often ask me why I'm sending them Facebook messages from Pyongyang.
- vomitcuddle 12y agoThat's exactly what it does. It feeds the application with fake or no data. There's no other way to do it due to Android's (in my opinion fundamentally flawed) security model.
- MacsHeadroom 12y agoxprivacy provides graceful denial of permission by providing false (potentially randomized) information. For example, rather than deny internet permission it will trick an app into thinking the internet is disconnected. Instead of denying GPS access it will tell the app that you're in a user-defined or random location (based on your settings).
