Question about permissions-
most apps from very reputable brands are requesting microphone recording, video & picture taking, contact access, phone access, and SMS access when they don't need it.- *(know the nex 7 doesn't have phone)
also the updates on the weekend for the google apps almost all are going to record audio & video/pics at any time and without your knowledge or confirmation.
I just got the nexus7, its back in the box and bag, ready to return it because I don't need a spy recording stuff all the time gaining control of my email and sending stuff out without me knowing. Google should pay me for that privilege.
Is this excessive on their part?
and second, can I hack around this, making the OS much more secure than it is- without having to roll my own ROM?
