Free Xprivacy permission/privacy manager - Motorola Photon 4G

"XPrivacy can prevent applications from leaking privacy sensitive data. XPrivacy can restrict the categories of data an application can access. This is done by feeding an application with no or fake data. There are several data categories which can be restricted, for example contacts or location. For example, if you restrict access to contacts for an application, this will result in sending an empty contact list to the application. Similarly, restricting an application's access to your location will result in a set location being sent to the application."
more info on the original xda thread, or github. The authors describe how it is better than other privacy solutions.
xposed installer is a framework for modules (such as xprivacy). This has the potential to allow tremendous customization of your ROM without having to flash a custom ROM.

Basic Info
1. requires xposed installer (which requires root access) before installing xprivacy (i.e. both files need to be installed)
2. files are designed for Android 4+, but there is a version that works with Gingerbread (android 2+)
3. will work on almost any android ROM. Works on my locked, stock, 2.3.4 sprint ROM.

2. Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
3. Reboot
4. Done!
For any modules you want to install:

2. Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" section

Requires root?
If you have a Sprint stock, locked rom, how were you able to load this program without root access?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The bootloader is locked, but the ROM is rooted (i.e. has superuser privelages).

There is a new xposed module (backported to gingerbread) that fixes an android "master key" security hole.
Its nice to be able to get security fixes like this since Sprint/Motorola no longer support this device.
