[CLOSED][APP][XPOSED][6.0+] XPrivacyLua - Android privacy manager [UNSUPPORTED]

[Artieza]

It is not clear to mean which search you mean: for app name or for restriction?

Search for app. Category: all.

Actually this is one of the problems that was fixed in beta version 0.26, so make sure you have version 0.26 installed and did hard reboot your device.

On 0.26 before, 0.27 now. Retested. Full reboot, twice. Still getting same error. Privacy.PlaceLikelihoodBuffer.get

Tried Maps and WhatsApp and there is no error on these with Course fake. (Although watching the new recalculated location fake every 5 seconds is funny).

Could this be something specific to how this app "Dark Sky" handles location? If so, I've got Logcat.

New filters are awesome. V0.27. One odd behavior.

1. Select any single filter.
2. Select another single filter.
3. Red apps, when expanded, still show the first filter. While white apps are updated to the currently selected filter.

It seems that the red apps (potential problem apps) stick with the first selected filter. Setting filter to show All and then selecting new filter works fine for all apps.

I see why you didnt want to add features until core utility was very stable.

The suggestion. XPL shows time of use the restriction if the restriction is set. If showing the use of restriction will be possible if the restriction is not set, it will help much in the procces of selecting if the restriction should be set or not.

Both problems should be fixed in beta version 0.29. Eventually we'll get there.

Given how XPrivacyLua works, this is not possible. Restrictions will only be applied when you select them and there can only be usage data when restrictions are applied. This is better for stability and performance.

Confirmed both issues fixed here. 0.29. :good:

Is the backup working properly for everybody (two dozen of people) in the pro companion app?

Backup and restore both worked. Thanks.

Apologies if it has been asked and answered (a quick search didn't reveal). If and when a batch feature is introduced (for example, apply a select number of restrictions to a selection of apps), will this be a pro feature?

@M66B some timestamp are truncated (always have been the case) it is because of translation?

This will be fixed in the next release.

 

[M66B]

Taking into account the below FAQ, are there any restrictions missing or are we ready for the first stable release?

https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua/blob/master/FAQ.md#FAQ4

@M66B with 0.24, everything is ok, then I update to 0.25, meet some problem.
I need uncheck read network data so as to make app work in the first use.
When checked, app may crash or just say network failure. But app is already in white list of afwall+, and the log says app has been blocked to 192.168.1.1
When unchecked, everything is ok. Then check, still ok. Only the first time.
Would you please fix it? Thank you very much. You're appreciated. And very sorry for bad English.

Please provide a logcat with the crash and I will see what I can do.
Also tell me which app is crashing.

Edit: version 0.25 didn't change anything to read network data restriction.

One more suggestion from point of view ordinary user , who knows only how to basic use android on his phone and nothing more ...
The current version lets to select filter and in the filter the name of it, fe:
"Read identifiers "
We know what it is , if not we can see on https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua but someone else what will he think/do ? IDs oh , I do not know , better do not touch it . He/she will not go to FAQ , first because he will not know where it is , second he will have to check it very often (maybe after many checks he will remember) and will not have time or willingness. The solution is to add full description of every fileter in to app (maybe "?" button , which will show full description about selected filter with info : serial number, Android ID, GSF ID, advertising ID , IMEI and all the rest identifiers supported by XPL . The same for each filter.
The "?" button near the selected filter field , no in menu . Info should be accessable after single touch.

I think that if somebody want to protect his/her privacy that he/she at least should read the documentation, which describes all restrictions. The documentation will be referenced from the in-app help page in the next release.

Also this FAQ applies:
https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua/blob/master/FAQ.md#FAQ4

I think I did quite some effort to develop XPrivacyLua and I think it is not unreasonable to expect that somebody who wants to use XPrivacyLua to protect his/her privacy does some effort too by reading the documentation. If there are any questions, they can be asked here and when needed I will update the documentation. Documentation contributions in the form of pull requests are welcome too.

I have just released beta version 0.30 in the Xposed repository.

Changelog:

• Added system properties hook (get identifiers)
• Small improvements and minor bug fixes
• Updated documentation

I have checked all XPrivacy source code and discovered that system properties (serial number) could not be restricted yet, so I have added this.

If XPrivacyLua reports an error or if an restricted app crashes, please let me know and provide a logcat and I will see if it can be fixed in the next release.

You can consider this version to be an almost stable version.

XDA thanks and donations are still appreciated.

Seems to be working perfectly well here. Thanks so much for all your work. It's really appreciated.

Cheers!
