Fdroid and permissions

[Wayneaswell]

I noticed that the Fdroid download has a lot of potentially invasive permissions, and the package is named Fdroid. Is Fdroid adding it's own encapsulation with extra permissions?

fdroid take the source as it is and sign the apk with its own key. so no they dont add extra permissons
bevor L oems used permissions to lock their extended camera features.

that are the permissions that can get used by freedcam.

FreeDcam/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Lines 6 to 39 in 39e2343

Thank you for this. I constantly get an issue of whether t voiding and loosing settings from handling it. I've asked open camera in the past to.implement a plug ins for all features, including codecs, and and configurable controls and WYSIWYG on screen interface, but they were not interested. But, people can easily do pro video plugins and interface like that. I have thought of hiring African programmers to make open camera into a plug in routing shell, or do a new app. If Apple introduced ProRes on their phone today. It will be time for an droid to do this too. Thank you. Wayne.
