Yeah. Want the whole list over the years? It's a doozy.Be careful lest ye incur Lord Duarte's wrath.
Wasn't rro/layers actually pushed into aosp by Sony? Think I remember reading thatAnd here is a great big forward step to rear -

Iow - Android M to supply for root what the latest Sense and evidently TouchWiz does for stock.
Well, I'm not surprised. Hard core fans will hail this as yet another breakthrough invention.
It just wouldn't be an I/O without Google half reinventing an existing HTC feature.

Ironic how much Apple fanboys and Google fanboys have in common that way lol.And here is a great big forward step to rear -

In order to take advantage of the new feature, apps have to be re-coded to follow the new permissions scheme.So aparently the granular permissions thing auto allows the Internet permission (so you wouldn't know if say a flashlight app has Internet permission. probably due to Google's need for ads?).
Have you tested that bjacks12?
A dev I know has made an app to kind of address this

New scenario, controlled by Google provided the app is built with the new tools -Yup I can see that happening.
So is "data" a separate permission from "Internet"? Not sure I understand mate
Ahh now I see what you mean by data mateNew scenario, controlled by Google provided the app is built with the new tools -
Flashlight on - pop-up(s) get triggered (I'll make some up without looking at the new api but this is basically correct) -
"Funky Flashlight wants access to your contacts - allow or deny?"
"Funky Flashlight wants access to your account information - allow or deny?"
"Funky Flashlight wants access to your call log and text messages - allow or deny?"
"Funky Flashlight wants access to your phone identity - allow or deny?"
Deny it access and it can connect to the Internet all it wants - it won't have anything to say.
The new permissions are also streamlined so you don't have to be a permission expert to understand them, according to Google.
And I'm only assuming that Internet access is constant so license checks aren't blocked by people who don't understand license checks. I *think* that is *maybe* correct.
Yeah, excellent question - and one we face every day with almost every add on texting app, where we do know and approve that they'll access sensitive data with Internet rights, just for one example.Ahh now I see what you mean by data mate
Know what you mean now but what if an app legitimately requests access to your microphone (say a dictaphone) but illegitimately has Internet access and you have no way of knowing that?
That's the opposite of what was shown during the keynote that got a huge round of applause.This seems to suggest the legacy applications will be able to be controlled by the new permissions management thing - well, sort of.
All permissions will be granted at install time, exactly how it currently works, rather than the user being prompted the first time a particular permission is requested. Users will however be able to go in and manually revoke permissions. So you might need to pay a bit more attention if you want to lock down a legacy application, but it should still be possible.
OK...Wasn't the keynote referring to apps targeting the M SDK though? I thought we were talking about legacy apps - which were the subject of the article I referenced.
