All newly rebuilt with Honeycomb (tablet), and ICS optimization
New: Show your list of apps and how many permissions they request
New: Automatic search suggestions for permissions
New: Sort by number of permissions requested, name, risk, and more
New: Details screen for apps, listing permissions and other useful info
New: Multi-pane layout for tablets
Reorganized home screen for easier navigation
Hey all,
Many of you have read my guide on permissions and security. (Though this is more for beginners than some of the more seasoned XDA vets )
And, thanks to some of the great feedback and support on this and other Android related forums, I decided to make an app version.
Because, well, where better to read about permissions for your phone, than on your phone?
So who is it for?
Well, lots of us are watching as our less tech-savvy friends grab new Android phones and would like to set them up with some good habits.
It's my hope that this will help people feel more secure and informed and not feel like they've been tossed into the wild west or have to rely soley on anti-virus. The idea is that you can set them up with this app, or keep it as a quick reference for yourself.

Pleasing interface and valuable information. Thanks.
Looks interesting. Any plans to add functionality to disable or block permissions on an app by app basis?
Thanks for the kind words guys, and sorry for the delay in getting back to this thread.
At this time there aren't any plans for blocking permissions, as that is a much more serious undertaking and requires root and modifying the OS itself and/or decompiing and recompiling the apps you want to change.
There are at least two apps out there that do try to block permissions but how effective they are I can't say.
My approach is more to educate users rather than to change the OS/Apps.
Edit:
Also, I just uploaded 1.0.4
- Better support for tablet-sized devices
- Many typo fixes
- Some editing for clarity
1.0.5 and 1.0.6 have are out, and the app just got accepted at the Amazon AppStore
http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.alostpacket.pocketpermissions
Changelog:
-New feature: after searching by permission, you can click on an app to be taken to its appilcation settings page. (Only tested on Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 - please let me know if you have any trouble with this feature!)
-Updated "make phone calls" permission
-Added better support for tablet-sized screens
-Many typo fixes and some editing for clarity
Updated to v1.1
What's new:
-Font size option in preferences
-Show all permissions option in preferences
-Show tech details about each permission, to see the official developer documentation about a permission
-Color coded permission list to show importance
-Filter out system apps option in preferences
-More consistent font styles/some graphics tweaks
Not bad, but I prefer this since its free and can disable/block permissions.

That's cool, and that's your choice of course. But my goal is to educate users rather than to modify other apps. So both these apps fill a different need and I think compliment each other.
Stericson's app is for advanced and rooted users, and can potentially break other apps or even your phone (as you can see in the reviews). Dont get me wrong, Stericson's a great guy and fatastic dev, but his approach and mine are fundamentally different.
My app is to help people learn about their phone and Android in general, as well as elighten them as to what the apps are asking for. I think people should be more aware of what the ramifications of permissions are, and why they shouldn't download apps when permissions exceed what's required.
Also, if you would like the free guide, you can always visit my website -- it includes a printer friendly version and downloadable PDF of this guide. The text of my guides is released under the Creative commons license. I have been writing and updating this guide for almost 2 years now. It has always been for free, and it's been read over 100k times.
So I ask for people to pay $0.99 if they would like extra features in an app and to have the guide specially formatted for a phone.
As a dev I need to eat and pay rent just like anyone else. I cant make everything free. But nearly half of my work is free. So please respect that fact.

Finally, I would appreciate if you would kindly not promote other apps in my announcement thread. Thank you.
So alp can you give me a laymen explaination of what exactly your app does and why a noob and/or a experienced user would find this app useful?

Sure and thanks for a constructive question
The basic idea is that it contains a plain-english guide on all the basics of security a new user should know. The text of the guide is the same as my free guide on the web which has been read over 100,000 times with hundreds of messages, emails, and posts of people thanking me for the effort.
(Incidentally the guide is released under the creative commons license and if it were printed to a book it would be roughly 25 pages of text. It was something that I have been working on and updating from time to time over the past two years -- since right when the original Droid came out).
In the app however, the guide is formatted nicely for a phone or tablet -- you can even change the font size for easier reading.
The content of the guide is written to teach about the Android community, how to check permissions, location tracking, privacy and more. But most of all, it teaches people how to understand these things in the CONTEXT of what they are doing with their phone and Android specifically. Location tracking can sound very scary or very useful, depending on what context it is being used in and for.
It also gives plain-english descriptions of each of the most common and important permissions, and color codes them based on how dangerous they are. The explanations that are given in the Market have gotten much better over the past year, but some are still very technical or vague, and dont help users understand why an app would want a permission.
Take the "Read Contacts" permission for example. The Android Market unhelpfully explains it like so:
Allows an application to read all of the contact (address) data stored on your device. Malicious applications can use this to send your data to other people.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That sounds pretty scary and doesn't really give a user any idea why an app might request it.
My guide tries to explain further that many social apps, SMS replacement apps, social games, and more, might want this permission just to help you "invite a friend" and help provide typing suggestions for you.
So, as you can see, the intended audience is for new users who aren't yet knowledgeable in the context of Android and smartphones.
For tech savvy people, it can also be a quick reference, or something they can give to their friends who are less tech savvy.
I figured a lot of us have introduced our friends to Android with great enthusiasm. but I wouldn't want to toss my friend out into the wild west without teaching them what to do first.
So basically the idea was, where better to learn about the security of your phone, than on your phone?
Additionally the app offers:
- The ability to search for a permission
- A full list of any apps using that permission
- An option to filter system apps
- An option to view the complete technical permission list, which includes, uncommon, unused, and system-only permission
- The ability to see the developer documentation of each permission
Hope that covers it all
Cheers,

I've cleaned the thread of the childish arguing. Please keep the discussion on topic, that is, about the app being promoted by the OP. If you don't like it, how about just saying what you think would improve it.

Thats for the taking to time to educate me! AWESOME answer, it makes much more sense now. I consider myself an educated/experienced user but I can totally see how this would benefit me as well. I mean really, there are times when, even though i think i know what a permission is, that I have NO idea why a certain app needs a certain permission. I see this helping tremendously.
Thanks for all the hard work ALP!!
PLease take note
Gents,
You will notice that this thread has now been cleaned, please keep posts on topic, respectful and constructive.
Failure to do so will involve infractions been given.
Thank you.
So this app actually will tell me out of ALL the apps i have installed which one uses a certain permission? Then gives me a 'most likely' reason it needs said permission?

Yep. There is also a long guide explaining permissions and security for novice users.
Many (most all) on XDA aren't novice users of course, but I posted it here just in case. Certainly many of us have friends and relatives we probably converted to Android that could benefit from the guide. That's my hope anyways.
Anywho, Just want to post a few updates.
Because of this guide, I got quoted in Atlanta Journal Constitution on Tues.
The article was on privacy & security for mobile apps.
The reporter had read my security guide online somewhere and emailed me asking for an interview. So we chatted last Friday and I explained Android Permissions to her for about 20 mins heh.
Edit: Link
https://www.ajc.com/business/the-downside-to-mobile-1215319.html
Mobile security experts said there are a couple of things users can do to protect themselves. Patrick Cousins, an application developer and blogger, said the most important thing is to vet the applications, read the reviews and check out user comments, he said.
“It’s all about context. It’s OK to give Internet access to some applications if you can see a valid use for it,” Cousins said. “If I download a game of checkers and it wants access to all my contacts, that wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense in context. It doesn’t need to read contacts for me to play checkers.”

Reminds me of something... But I cant put my finger on it
Mod Edit: Links removed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4745624&postcount=8
Its skinned to remove all logos, The only thing I could not remove was the text. I made it for myself, keep that in mind. I am just sharing.
*edit* if the original does not work, I doubt this one will but use the same install information 555-555-5555 and you must have the widget on your home screen. Launch it from the widget preferably.
is there anything different about these apks? Are they wifi compatible?
I tried wifi compatibility and it is still in the works but as of now this is only for looks but I am working on wifi as I post this.
555-555-5555?? call that number while the widget is up?
On some of the sprint apps it makes you comfirm that you are a sprint customer, so instead of sending sprint our real phone numbers (caller id=your name) we send them fake ones, like 555-555-5555
this seems like not a smart thing for you to do.

so basically you just violated alot of copyright laws....
Unfortunately, some may think, we cannot allow links to modded paying software. The software in question is provided under licence to Sprint users only. Now, we try not to sensor knowledge here, so we not going to delete all references to the fact that this software can be ported to non Sprint devices and used free of charge in breach of terms and conditions, BUT we cannot permit links to the software that would actively encourage members to break the law.
Mike
Links will be removed
It's not the fact that it is Sprint software ported over to the G1. It is the fact that he removed all of Sprint's branding. That's like taking the the Google Maps app (or any Google app) and removing Google's name from it. It's simply just a breach of copyright.

Well, that too but the whole subject of the Sprint / Telnav software has been raised and discussed with Mods and Admin so there are issues regarding the use of such software on non Sprint phones.
Mike
Wow. Mike you have got to be one of the fairest, most logical forum mods I have ever had the pleasure to read. I am very impressed with the way in which this was handled.
mike i thought your site got closed because u had all the htc breakdown videos and what of that? but i do understand the point so i say lets make a new site that will let you post or upload. that way we can get the goods and xda dont get the blame if i remeber november 27 windows came down on xda for the same ish so please pleas dont let it happen to android just look for a new method for the shares. but i do like the work and want the app i was to late late for the link !!!!!

I was shut down for a while and had to remove some things, but in the end reached a sort of unofficial compromise on intellectual property rights.
This is a delicate issue, in my case I don't offer folks something they would normally have to pay for through their network or otherwise. (I offer stuff they should not have, even if they have money to pay for it!!).
I guess our bottom line is that knowledge should be freely available, but handing folk the tools, to install stuff that is very close to being Warez, is off-limits. (Robbing banks with an uzi can be profitable = knowledge, but handing out uzis and suggesting you rob a bank, crosses the line)
.... and yes we know cooking ROMs and such is also a grey area, but even there we say that ROMs should not be cooked that include for free any software for which the user would normally have to pay.
If someone set up a site with Sprint software on it - that's entirely up to them. We would probably even accept a link to it if the poster said "hey here's a breakdown of a Sprint ROM" In fact that would probably be OK to post here - at least until someone asked for a "take-down"
The problem only comes when someone says you can load this stuff on non-Sprint phones and get stuff for free and just to help you do that here are the links. In other words that ceases to be a theoretical point of information and becomes an encouragement to do something naughty. If folks want t be naughty then they have to do so, by reading the knowledge and then looking for the tools from whatever source, here or elsewhere without our help.
These kinds of things have been debated many times here at XDA - there are no absolute rights and wrongs, only things we think are more or less safe for us to do - just like life generally I guess

Well said Mike. When I read it, I had a /foreheadslap moment thinking, "well duh, this should be pretty obvious," but im constantly reminded that there are users on here who simply feel they have a right or deserve to have any given piece of software if it is leaked online.
The bottom line is, do not post software that has not been explicity licensed as open source unless you have obtained permission to redistribute. As a general rule of thumb, if the software cannot be legally obtained unless you pay someone (e.g. it comes preloaded on a phone) or can be obtained free but only if you agree to a license agreement (downloading certain software update packages) then you should not redistribute it on xda or elsewhere.
Hello,
My name is Isaac and I am here to find out what developers and publishers find useful as far as reviews of their mobile applications. I have just finished developing a website that totally caters smartphone applications. It is non-platform specific so if you develop for Iphone, Droid, blackberry, etc.. then your apps could be listed at the site.
What I am looking to get out of this is to find out what information developers want to get from end users the most. This way I can configure the review site so it can get the most useful information to developers. Thus giving developers the info they need to concentrate on what is more important to their target audience.
So I hope some of this interest and lets get talking, what are important questions you like to see answered in reviews
come on guys, help me out, what are things that you found most important when getting reviews of your applications?
If someone reviewed my mobile app, I'd like to know about a couple of things like:
Ease of use,
Functionality,
If usage of app can provide a longterm solution,
and/or if the user was satisfied with the app all around.

Hi,
First of all before developing any application, I check the user requirement. As you know people want different type of applications. So I collect the user opinion from different places. Then I develop an application according to user requirement. After completing the application, I post my application reviews on different mobile based forums and get some feedback.

So basically if you have an idea for an app you then question potential users for what they would like to see and then build something from that?
Any particular questions you post on the forums that you feel gives you best info?
I always look for a decent star rating from those before me and also read through the developer description. If it seems useful I get it and worse case you just end up deleting it later. The main thing that makes an app flourish in the market is it's star rating and number of downloads.
But honestly, there are already several similar sites. I guess it will be really hard for you to build a big user base for your website. Other players are already in the market for a few years. And they are all free...
Maybe it is a better approach that the devs do not have to upload the app to you page but that you just allow the users to "request features" and you can allow them to vote for features. This could provide a feedback to the developer of the most important missing/demanded features. Maybe there is a chance to contact the developers via one of the google apis for marketplace once you have significant feedback from your users for a specific application...

Yes there are many similar sites, mostly concentrating on a particular platform though. Which to me makes no sense since a lot of developers want to make apps for different platforms . But you make a good point allow users to vote on proposed features that the developer is thinking of working on so they know what users really want and would likely buy for.
To be rooted or not to be? [A Fundamental Question]
I guess you already read the news at CyanogenMOD about there thoughts regarding not enabling root access by default but rather give the user the option to be aware of the risk, if he is gonna enabling it by his own decision?
As a user you also should take some minutes and rethink about data security measurements on your device. If you're only using the phone with a prepaid mobile card and don't store confidential data like passwords or credit cards numbers or even do online payments with it, then you don't have to bother with security at all. Just enjoy your phone with the newest and fanciest ROM you would like to.
But in case you're intending to use its full potential, then below is my take on this subject. Read on, if and only if you really want to know about my personnel preferences on this topic. If my post hurts your eyes, ears or mouth in anyway, then please keep them all closed and move on. I'm very sorry, if I've stolen your precious time up to this point. ... ^^
<point-of-no-return>
Stock or Custom? Stay with unmodded stock rom, if you don't need the features the cooked roms is offering you. If something goes wrong (dialer, keylogger, trojan, ...), then Samsung have to take all the blame and financial loss for you. But only, if you're really carefull yourself about third party Apps. Install only from trustworthy sources and ask yourself, if the App should really get all the permissions it is asking for. Maybe an alternative App will do the same work but beeing less demanding?
Root What? If you don't understand the consequences of root permissions, then it probably is not what you should looking for.
Opensource or Closed? Only entrust third party ROMs with opensource code. You might never take a look at it, but there are other tech savvy users/developers, who will raise the issues publicly, if there happens to be any, because they can read the source and point out the security holes and eventually fix them quickly too. Since I'm reading many questions about the PROS or CONS of unofficial and official CyanogenMODs: You should by now be able to answer this question yourself, if you're a security and privacy loving individual.
Themes or Hacks? If you're missing some features on your current phone, then reconsider to get your hands dirty and do the needed changes yourself. Or at least know howto take the supplied MODs apart and thoroughly compare the modified files with your current installed ones. There is a reason why big companies distributing files with at least a MD5 or SHA1 checksum, you know? But since ACE, GIO and the MINI (->galaxyics) are midrange devices targeting teens as consumers, security or privacy is something most of this users don't want/have to worry about. Anyway, if the changes are not applied to the executable codes (dex files) but rather considered as widely known as theming (change layout, PNGs, color or text codes), then you should be on the riskfree side to apply them without further notice. ...
Hope I could give the more concerned users some points to think about towards ROMs and MODs in general.

New to the community & Android development. Please direct me in the right direction.
Hello, I'm new to the Android community. I have prior programming experience and I have made apps through Unity and have successfully published them on the Google Play store and competing app stores. I decided that I want to write native Android apps.... so here I am.
The problem:
I want to create a very simple app. It is a simple messaging app, just like the messaging in Snapchat. It is not like other text messaging apps where you are given a number and you can text anyone you want, even if they don't have the app. That is not my goal.
1. You must have the app
2. You do not get a new number. You get to choose a new username only.
This is the goal of the app. The question is... what libraries and APIs do I have to use? Are there any good tutorials on this subject? And the most important question is, would I have to buy any servers or something? Do I have to spend any money for this to work or can this work with the user's cell connection? I don't want to purchase anything / servers. Is this possible?
I'm sorry for the lack of knowledge, but I am aiming to improve myself! Thank you very much for the read.
Hello,
Messaging infrastructure needs a server to centralize users accounts, messages and users status.
You can find low cost VPS servers, but it's not free.
Sincerely.

Your question is not specific, it's hard to understand what you really want to know. If you don't have programming experience and want this job to be done by someone else, I can make this app for you. All graphic assets must be provided by you.

Dear Android developer,
We invite you to participate in a research study being conducted at Saarland University in Germany. We found your email address as a professional developer on Google Play.
We have developed FixDroid, an Android Studio plugin to help you learn about different aspects of software security. We're excited to be able to share this with you!
FixDroid helps you to learn more about secure coding. As you write code it finds insecure practices and warns you about them. In some cases it will offer you more secure alternatives as a QuickFix.
FixDroid is, and will remain, free to use and we're delighted if you can use it. In return we'll collect anonymous information about your use of it - but never any of your code or anything to identify you or the code. Please visit https://userstudies.cs.uni-saarland.de/fixdroid/installFixDroid.html to get access to the plugin.
While you try it out, if you've time, please could you possibly participate in a brief scientific study to help us improve FixDroid for you and other users?
Visit https://userstudies.cs.uni-saarland.de/fixdroid/70333f6d4789/468180b5cdf9 for more information or simply reply to this email. We'll be glad to answer any questions. If you don't want to receive emails from us, please visit https://userstudies.cs.uni-saarland.de/fixdroidstudy-bl/new/70333f6d4789/468180b5cdf9 and we will never contact you again.
Our research relies on the generous help of interested developers, so thank you for your help and feedback!

Now has any one else got this? Is this really helpful? I am asking here because I never heard of fixdroid. I know it is an html plug in and if it really is what it is maybe it will help others. I am just a junior developer so any help from a developer is appreciated tnx.
Help needed please!!
Hello. I'm new in developing apps and trying to learn on Android Studio. I'm creating a app for calculate the percent. The code is done and the interface, but when I run the app in the emulator all the buttons and the layouts appear on the top left of the screen one over the other. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. Thanks for your help.

Please post your layout's xml file. Maybe you are using ConstraintLayout as a parent view instead of LinearLayour?
