Granular app security, firewall, root? (Score: 2, Insightful)

A new chinese phone will come rooted which means easy firewall and better app permissions and phone security. So, will Android 5 finally giveus user set app permissions (no! you may not have internet access! denied and stop trying to enable wireless!) or an easier path to root?

Android is one of two horses in the mobile race... but will they give users what they need.

Meanwhile, My phone is powerful enough to run linux. Why make it hard to do so?
