Android ROM that can feed fake data to an app when a permission is requested (lemmy.ml)

Is there an Android ROM that has the ability to provide the app with fake camera stream, location, microphone stream, gallery, storage files etc...?

It would be incredibly useful to allow apps to work while giving no info / no access to private informations / permissions.

There was an option for a fake gps app somewhere in settings a while ago, not sure it still exists.

Other than that, I doubt it. Android is incredibly locked down. Maybe if you root your phone and install magisk there is a module? But then you risk losing banking apps, netflix etc.

Edit: Spoofing GPS seems to still be possible. Download a GPS spoofing app, enable developer options, then in there search for "Select mock location app"
