Top 20 bogus permissions
Permissions which don't exist but are still requested by several apps. These won't do any harm (as the Android system cannot grant them anyway), but show that sometimes not all permissions an app requests are really needed by it (e.g. when it is misspelled, the real one probably wasn't needed either for the app's functionality). Also see Strange permissions in several apps at StackOverflow.
| Permission | Comments | Apps | Pct | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | android.permission.QUICKBOOT_POWERON | This is not a permission but an intent (android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON) | 27 | 0.2% |
| 2 | android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION | pre-Android-1.0 and long obsolete | 20 | 0.2% |
| 3 | android.permission.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION | This is no permission, but an action to call in order to obtain one | 15 | 0.1% |
| 4 | android.permission.BROADCAST_PACKAGE_REPLACED | probably wrongly deduced from BROADCAST_PACKAGE_ADDED and BROADCAST_PACKAGE_REMOVED | 7 | 0.1% |
| 5 | android.permission.BROADCAST_PACKAGE_CHANGED | probably wrongly deduced from BROADCAST_PACKAGE_ADDED and BROADCAST_PACKAGE_REMOVED | 5 | 0.0% |
| 6 | android.permission.WRITE_CLIPS | obviously refers to clipboard actions. Developers manual on copy paste does not mention any permission for this. | 5 | 0.0% |
| 7 | android.permission.PERMISSION_NAME | most likely template copy-pasta | 4 | 0.0% |
| 8 | android.permission.GET_CLIPS | obviously refers to clipboard actions. Developers manual on copy paste does not mention any permission for this. | 3 | 0.0% |
| 9 | android.permission.READ_CLIPS | obviously refers to clipboard actions. Developers manual on copy paste does not mention any permission for this. Despite of that, a screenshot from AppOps found in this blog article clearly shows a „Read clipboard“ permission. | 3 | 0.0% |
| 10 | android.permission.READ_APN_SETTINGS | wrongly deduced from WRITE_APN_SETTINGS | 2 | 0.0% |
Top 20 unknown permissions
Permissions not (yet) recorded in our Permission List. These include e.g. permissions introduced with a new Android version, permissions declared by third-party-apps or manufacturers (to protect access to APIs they might provide), and non-existing permissions (spelling errors, fantasy – see Bogus Permissions above).

Apps glued to the Google Ecosystem
Calculated by requests to permissions granted by Google-Apps (see Google Glue in this sites help pages).
As this does not cover everything (and our permission list definitely is incomplete), the real number probably is higher. Note that CHECK_LICENSE can
be a show-stopper if you don't have the original GApps installed on your device, as then licence check won't work and the app most likely refuse to run.
Same applies to apps with google.MAPS_RECEIVE, which most likely even refuse to install. Everything else might just limit the app's functionality.
