Other features I wish Android's security model has are 'soft permissions', and 'pseudo permissions'.

Soft permissions would be where an app can function without permission, but has feature(s) that require it. For example, if I install a game, I should be able to play it without giving it internet access. However, if they want to have a online high-score system they must require that I give them internet access in order to install the app;

Pseudo permissions would be where the app thinks it has permission to use something, but it is really receiving bogus data. For example, say an app 'requires' access to my phones GPS system (when such access is not critical to the function of the app), it would appear to the app that it has access, but the data it receives would not corralate to the actually data.

I think I recall seeing a project to implement both of these features in Android, but I do not recall what it is called.
