Hi,
Just purchased TouchControl 1.85. For something that just wakes up the phone, I wonder why does it needs the following permissions:
- Network communication: full network access
- Phone calls: read phone status and identity
- Your accounts: find accounts on the device
Thanks in advance for any clarification.
Why TC needs too much permissions ?
Re: Why TC needs too much permissions ?
It downloads modules from my webserver, they are not stored in the APK (this way I can easily push modules without updating the app.Rex wrote:Hi,

It's for licence check. It's sending it to my server.Rex wrote:- Your accounts: find accounts on the device
But really, any app that you grant root access is capable of doing absolutely anything with your phone. So these permissions just doesn't make any sens. A root app can without a problem prune your device, make it unbootable (by overwriting crucial partitions like bootloader). Or do any evil thing you can imagine.
