[APP 2.2+] [ Tool ] FAKE PERMISSIONS (For User app) Most Powerful privacy protection

[jacksparao]

Please have a look inline comment...

I am interested in it but it's not clear what does "activate does".

For example, if I want to take out the permission of wake-lock for an app, what should I do?

You can try adb logcat.. find the different between before and next

I read the paper a bit. It looks like it only deals with privacy permissions. Is it possible to extend this beyond that?

99% the app will work based on the privacy permissions.. if something goes wrong you will come to know..

And does it require root?

Not really


Thanks

Android now has permission manager. However, some parts are not exposed to non-root users. These include the ability to start an application on boot or when an event happens. The question is, whether this application can manage those, in addition to the privacy permissions? If so, how could we control it? Right now it appears to be all-or-none.

Thanks

My views and suggestions after buying the pro version ...

Firstly I find the app tiresome to use. What I mean by that is the constant in and out of the separate interfaces. There is the LIST OF PERMISSIONS section - click the tab - and you are shown all your apps, which you select and it drops down to show the permissions of that particular app. Then you have to back key out of that to go to suspicious apps which is the same page as previous, but has the number of permissions (8) (12) (25) and so on. There is nothing here to interface with. Then you have to back key again ...to go to fake permissions.

Here is really what the app is supposed to be about. But all you are met with on this page is your apps listed AGAIN with an "Activate" tab.

It is quite tedious to have to go back and forth between Suspicious Apps and Fake Permissions, firstly to get the count on what apps are requiring a lot of permissions, and then going over to the Fake Permissions tab ...back and forth, back and forth. Especially for someone who has a LOT of apps.

My suggestion is simply why not place all of these together on the one page?

On the User Apps page, you should have the ability to firstly see all your apps but select each app and see its list of permissions drop down. On the same page next to each app you could have (8) (12) (25) to display the amount of permissions for that app and on the far right of the screen the "Activate" tab - all on the one page.

Simple is good, and so far navigating this app isn't a good experience. Not to mention between each tab your met with a pop up explaining each section, over and over.

All in all I really like the app for what it does, but I do not like the interface and think if you place the entire interface on one easily accessible page it would be much much better.

Cheers.

The app will start working in the Background but it will consume 0.3% battery per day... App will start working on Boot start access the permission.. you can check the different in ADB.........

Sorry but you are not answering my question here. Could you try to explain it again?

Thanks

I sent you the screenshot so you can see what I am seeing. FYI - I am running a Galaxy S4 VZN (rooted) with BoneStock ROM and Nova Launcher.

I also read the document you referenced as your goal, and that looks like exactly what I expect the finished product to look like. The granularity of knowing how each permission in each activated application is handled (trusted, anonymized, bogus, or empty) is crucial.

Your assertion that it is 100% handled doesn't tell me all I need to know. Keep up the good work!

In general we have created the data base which will create the Fake Data of any apps.. Think you installed a Torch light app if that app require Camera permission its fine, in-case GPS permission then there is something wrong..

What we do, any app which is requesting user data more many times, the fake data will be automatically start working.. everything happen in smart way...

Very True...

Any device which is running more then ICS, we can access the data, Please i'm not trying to access the system apps we are accessing the user apps where you don't need root access... Its easy to control what we are aiming..



Thanks

Please share how the UI should look like.. brother am kernel security engineer not have big ideas about UI...

Can you share one dummy image where can i see and understand...

Thanks you very much... if you share what I requested... Sure I will try to implement the same...

I think, you are saying, that the mechanism can be used to change permission for any user app. Right?

If so, do you plan to have a gui to allow user to edit things that are not exposed in Apps Ops (e.g. networking)?

Thanks

 

[jacksparao]

have a look

Yes....

True.....

Thanks

I will Try to make...

That will be great. Since Apps Ops are now available, the big missing piece is actually change those not exposed by Apps Ops.

 

[jacksparao]

sample ui

Possible can you share the example of ui or the one what you looking...

If you can take a look at Android's built-in Apps Ops, that should be OK. Or there is an application called "Advanced Permission Manager".

Thanks

thankss

I will check and update the same..

I use XPrivacy at this moment (free)
Why should I switch to your software? (paid)

I hope to get an objective answer

 

[jacksparao]

True..

True.. there are many thing.. Xprivacy is amazing I agree and my concept and Xprivacy is complete different.. no point comparing..

No Root, No modification, etc.. easy...

Tested

Here my experience :

The major problem in the applicaiton is UI and no proper decription.. the dev must add the clear UI where any one can understand... If possible small decription how it works...

I have tested the app using the ADB based on the dev suggestion I found out the working sending fake data to activated applicaiton.. but general mobile user they don't know anything about Android etc.. its very hard to believe.... My suggestion is to make easy way to understand any users...

I think you can show the logcat in the app where people can see the different now ans later...

Thanks for the amazing concpet but not implement well in UI part... I have given 4* rating in palystore becuase of bad UI... Rest all am happy..
