Jan Molič<p>Please, all Android developers, make a system that can fake the contact list, files and photos, location and phone ID and other information that apps usually require (but don't need). <br>Android only lets you disable those things, but that's not it - some apps don't work without consent. </p><p>All I could find was <a href="https://mastodon.1984.cz/tags/xposed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xposed</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.1984.cz/tags/xprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xprivacy</span></a>, but it doesn't seem to be evolving much and it's definitely not for casual users. I'd love to have a system that pretended to be Android, but be based on <a href="https://mastodon.1984.cz/tags/lineageos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lineageos</span></a> &amp; <a href="https://mastodon.1984.cz/tags/OpenGapps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenGapps</span></a> and include those xprivacy features by default.</p><p>To be honest, I'm completely fascinated that no one is working on this! So many developers and nobody cares about privacy?</p>
projectmoon<p>Using <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/xprivacylua" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>xprivacylua</span></a> to restrict <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Android</span></a> apps from doing things they have no business doing. At least half of the apps on my phone are checking the list of apps I have installed, checking the sensors, using analytics, and using tracking. One banking app even tried to request root access when opened (some ham fisted attempt to check if the device is rooted, no doubt). <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/xprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>xprivacy</span></a></p>
Björn<p>"App wurde nicht installiert." Woran mag das liegen? Ich habe ein paar APKs versucht zu installieren, doch stets ging es schief.<br>Seit dem Wochenende habe ich das <a href="https://mastodonten.de/tags/xposed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xposed</span></a> Framework und <a href="https://mastodonten.de/tags/xprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XPrivacy</span></a> auf meinem <a href="https://mastodonten.de/tags/lineageos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LineageOS</span></a> 15.1. Kann es damit etwas zu tun haben? Hat jemand einen Tipp für mich?</p><p>Gerne boosten :toot:</p>
