Opengapps: Script solution for Marshmallow permissions

Created on 22 Dec 2015 · 11Comments · Source: opengapps/opengapps

This problem came up as is updated my LG G3 (d855) to the latest Cyanogenmod 13 Nightly( 20151222) (from 12.1).

"play services" (and "system") crashed with the following exception:

12-22 20:23:41.267 5619 5860 E AndroidRuntime: Process: com.google.android.gms.persistent, PID: 5619
12-22 20:23:41.267 5619 5860 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.SecurityException: "passive" location provider requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.
[stack trace]

after i granted the needed permission to GMS "pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" everything worked as expected.

I hope this is the right place to address this issue.

Thank you!

The issue still persists on last CM 13 Nightly (20160313) for i9300. The proposed procedure along with "pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" fixed the issue.
Fixed creating (and chmoding +x) a /data/local/userinit.sh file with:

!/system/bin/sh

pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

@TheCrazyLex could you check what is the situation here? Is there a new permission from either ROM or GMS's side?

mfonville on 22 Dec 2015

@mfonville this permission is required, this is normal and was always like that. However as Cm doesn't include my patch, things like that may happen on CM.

This won't happen on ROMs including the patch.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought cm had the patch included, maybe we can request to upstream it somehow?

Also we are still looking into possible scripting solutions to handle the permissions for roms without the patch. But such a solution is not available yet for the near future.

@mfonville I don't think upstreaming will work.

A script solution would be very nice..

@TheCrazyLex can you point to that patch? is there a clutch way to fix this at least temporarily with a root shell?

This appears to also happen on CopperheadOS which is forked off of AOSP.

@TheCrazyLex How run script with root access in init first time? because you patch not working for me user can't access grant.runtime.permissions .

Not sure if this is related, but I get:

02-13 11:39:01.383 31298 31355 W ctxmgr  : [AclManager]checkPermissionTypeStatus: no inject permission for { uid=10061, packageName=com.google.android.gms }. Returned permission was: PACKAGE_NOT_WHITELISTED for context name=POWER_CONNECTION, account=account#-51794xxxx#

Cyanogenmod now has a bug report for it: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-2706
