Root
This. Root allows an app to get any permissions and probably even disable all evidence of having them.
This depends on what you’re trying to defend against. In my opinion (on GrapheneOS):
- “Accessibility” permission (i.e. full control of the device)
- “Network” permission
- “Modify system settings” permission
- “Install unknown apps” permission
- Any permission that allows apps to communicate with one another (such as a reduced sandbox, file permission, or app communication scopes)
Those are the only permissions that I can think of off the top of my head that could potentially allow an app to phone home. Turning off Wi-Fi for the device does little if the app also has the “Wi-Fi control” permission.

I know, but since we’re referring to permissions here, I wanted to refer to each of them by the permission names.
