Giving the User Control over Android Permissions 6.858 Final Project - Fall 2012
Jonas Helfer, T‐Y Lin · 2012
In this project, we investigate the possible options for users to restrict application permissions in a more ne-grained way and provide a proof of concept for a command-line tool that can remove permissions from applications before installation. We tested our tool with Android 2.2 (Froyo) on an emulated NexusS and a real Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
