      My clever trick actually neuters Google Play Services almost completely, while retaining SafetyNet validation. I use AppOpsX to neuter all of its permission data inputs internally, bypassing the GUI based app permissions system. That includes other special packages like Play Store and Carrier Services.

      Not defending Google of course, but it is a clever trick to retain your privacy and still enjoy SafetyNet apps like bank apps or any games, for those who need them.

        Can this be used to deny apps access to sensors like the accelerometer or gyroscope? Android has no permission control for those and they open up quite serious security vulnerabilities.

          Yes, everything. Let me post how I have Google Play Services, Google Camera Go, Carrier Services and Google Camera Go crippled on my device. (Seems Lemmy threw up an error due to height of image. ZIP file of JPGs it is.)

          All of my apps are setup with AppOpsX, according to my FOSS smartphone guide. GPS is one uncontrollable permission for some reason, so just use the the GUI permission system to have it disabled. Maybe it has the “allow while using app” option, interfering with AppOpsX for some reason.

        Do you need root for this? I can’t root my Huawei but this sounds great.

          I am unable to interpret it, just view ID codes with app names in a hex editor.

              There is only exporting for apps available, no restoring. Very weird.

                i think the file must be on Android / Data / com.zzzmode.appopsx / files / backup
