For a long time Android had a number of “tapjacking” vulnerabilities. They were supposed to be fixed in Marshmallow but they didn’t. Instead users got some awkward permission dialog which can be easily bypassed. Tapjacking got especially dangerous in Marshmallow with introduction of runtime...

I keep running into an issue since upgrading to stock rooted Marshmallow on my Moto X Pure. Every time I connect to my bluetooth media center in the car, it requests access to "messages". Whether I say "yes" or "no", it will ask me the next time I connect. It is more of a nuisance than...

Hi Is there something out there that is capable of sorting all your apps based on the permissions they use? For example: I believe that only my Google Maps and my Waze need access to my GPS but rougly 5 other apps still need access to it. Is there an app that can give this overview? GPS: 10...

Hopefully this is the appropriate forum. I bought a cheap tablet to enable testing of an app I've developed. I can deploy this app to the tablet but it has problems creating the database (it works fine on my Galaxy S4) and I think that's because the data directory has not got the right...

So I use Poweramp as my music player(one of the fews apps I've ever actually purchased) and one of my MOST favorite things about it was the ability to edit tags in the app. With Kit-kat, Google decided to remove the permissions to allow me to do this. So I followed the poweramp suggestions and...
