How can I get the dreaded WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission for my android app? -


i need able toggle gps receiver on , off, , write_secure_settings required able access secure settings. i've searched around quite bit, , every answer saw pretty said no app outside of system/firmware can permisssion.

however, untrue. there several apps on market i'm trying (in regards gps), there bunch more have write_secure_settings permissions. example:

extended controls

switchpro

profile flow

so, how can done?

i need able toggle gps receiver on , off

for privacy reasons, if nothing else, enabling or disabling sort of location-tracking needs solely in hands of user via trusted applications, not @ request of arbitrary third parties.

so, if wish enable , disable gps, create own firmware need , load firmware on whatever devices wish. or, contribute changes existing firmware mods (e.g., cyanogen).

write_secure_settings required able access secure settings

correct.

they found security loophole. take steps ensure hole gets fixed.

but there bunch more have write_secure_settings permissions

no, there bunch ask them. can ask whatever permission want. ask shows in these listings. get different story.
