Really simple to use privacy manager for Android 6.0 Marshmallow and later (successor of XPrivacy).
Revoking Android permissions from apps often let apps crash or malfunction. XPrivacyLua solves this by feeding apps fake data instead of real data.
Features:
Simple to use
Manage any user or system app
Extensible
Multi-user support
Free and open source
See here for all details, including installation instructions and download link.
Please read the frequently asked questions before asking a question.
This XDA thread is about using the latest version of XPrivacyLua. Off topic comments are allowed as long they are related to XPrivacyLua and are in the general interest of the followers of this thread, but anything not related to privacy is not allowed.
If XPrivacyLua doesn't work and/or when "module not running or updated" is shown, this is almost always caused by an Xposed problem.
Discussions about purchases are not allowed here, please contact me via here instead.
XPrivacyLua is being maintained and community supported, but new features won't be added anymore.
Custom hook definitions will always be part of XPrivacyLua, but there will be community support only. This means that I won't respond to questions about defining custom hooks anymore. See this thread for the reasons.
If you value your privacy, please consider to support this project with a donation or by purchasing pro features.

XPrivacyLua is not a permission manager, but a privacy manager. XPrivacyLua doesn't block things and doesn't revoke permissions, but does replace real data by fake data. This means you can grant Android permissions to an app and still let XPrivacyLua prevent the app from seeing privacy sensitive data. Revoking permissions can result in an app refusing to work and/or to crash. However, replacing real by fake data generally doesn't let an app crash.
Currently restrictions are quite crude because they mostly replace real data by no data. For example restricting the contacts app from getting contacts will result in an empty contact list. In the near future it might be made possible to select the data an app may see, for example just one group of contacts.

The goal is to have a tool that can properly protect the privacy of many in the near future. However, it isn't paid work, so I do whatever I like whenever I like it.
You can request features in this XDA forum. I will read them, but I will not respond to them and they might or might not be implemented. If I know for sure something will not be implemented, I will let you know.
You can report any problem you have here. There will be no issue tracker on GitHub.

For now I have decided to not implement restrictions that are useful to prevent tracking only. There are simply too many data items that can be used for tracking and it would take too much time to develop restrictions for all these data items.
The basic idea is to restrict only things that 'define' you, so which contacts you have, where you are, which apps you use, etc.

Maybe we can widen the definition of things that the core of XPL covers to "What defines you, and what can be used to spie on you"? This would include camera/audio, but not tracking.

XDA thanks and donations are appreciated.
XPrivacyLua is supported with Xposed only. There is no support for VirtualXposed and TaiChi.
Even if old Xprivacy isn't supported on nougat, is it possible to keep it with new Lua too until Lua grow up? Or it is not recommended ?
Thank you

Noooo! First post and it is asking about using Xprivacy on Nougat? That must be demotivating to the dev! It has been told too many times in the xprivacy thread that it is not recommended to use it on Nougat and above all IT IS NOT SUPPORTED!
Sorry for using capitals but let's hope everyone sees it and this thread stays on new Lua topic.

Wow, I was just scrolling through some stuff, stumbled into your repo for XPrivacy/Lua and couldn't believe what I saw! M66B is developing a new app as a replacement for XPrivacy... Thank you so much, you've totally made my day and pobably quite some time into the future as well! I'll definetely also buy/donate for this version as soon as I get to use it.
Just some technical questions:
Looks like you are going more modular with this new app, and you mentioned something about downloading additional (user-made) hooks. You also said you'd keep it much more simple this time to avoid high maintenance etc. Could these external hooks then allow to get the complexity back? I totally understand your motivation, but in-depth restricting of app permissions was something I really liked about the old XPrivacy, and if some user-made hooks would make that possible I'd use them. But they'd also need the ability to add new UI elements, and not just "This hook is about the method XY, execute this code before/after to block it and this code to enable it" for that to be possible.

For now I will concentrate on fixing bugs and building restrictions, which is of course the most important of all. Restrictions are indeed defined and written in Lua. Currently all restrictions are built-in, but later I might add a manager, so you can manage your own definitions. There might even be a repository, which could even contain definition for things not privacy related.
You can find the current definitions here (hooks.json contains the definitions).
Just donated. More to follow along the way. Thank you!!

"XPrivacyLua is supported on Android 6 Marshmallow and later" you're either lying or it's a misstatement on the repo.
Also can somehow explain to me (I just switched to Android), what Lua is (if not a programming language)?

Glad to see Xposed Module development is still alive!
Thx a lot for building and developing this app.
After I've selected some apps I get an error:
XLua.Main:android.os.DeadObjectException:Transaction failed on small parcel; remote process probably died
Things that I would appreciate in future releases:
- More restriction-types like: Network connection, Telephone number/sim-operator, Serialnumber, installed apps/services, accounts
- Is it possible to hide disabled apps from the list?
- Is it possible to decide when an app will request for example the location to allow or deny the request?

Disabled apps are hidden from the list by default.
First: thanks for the release and minimal UI of this app.
Just one request if it is possible. Would it be possible when you start ironing out the features to include a randomisation to some privacy information. Like my main coordinates for GPS are 33N 112W. If the app could randomise the rest so the app knows my general location but not accurately as 1m?
Edit: a good reason for this is for apps like speedtest.net. it grabs GPS to find a close server. When I restrict, closes server is in NY. I don't mind if it knows I live in AZ, heck, XDA knows I live here, but knowing my exact location is bothering.

The error occurs every second time I open the app and it's shown in the bottom of the app. In the Xposed log there isn't a XLua-Error.

Thank you for your answer, but I'm still kinda missing what I wanted to know: Could hooks potentially add custom UI and/or save data? I'd imagine something like saving a list of contacts and when an app requests the contact list selecting this specific list to be returned.

Yes, that would be possible. When there is a need, I will add APIs that can be used in Lua to save data in a structured way into the XPrivacyLua database, so anyone wanting to develop a new hook definition doesn't have to worry about how to do this. In fact this has already been prepared.

Oh okay, thanks. So I can't use the current XPrivacy (on the PlayStore) on Nougat S8? I hope I can if not, I'll wait for the XPrivacy L.
It's crazy that Android forces privacy breaching (violation is an accurate word use) "services", processes and apps at it's core. If I were to learn to use Android enough is it possible to prevent it, like it's the case on iPhone, well in appareances because when you jailbreak it you can see all the processes, but it's clearly not in completely forcing this violation of your data, be it just with the permission management that NO apps can require or force on you to run, which to me absolutely crazy that it's the case on Android.

What you could do, at least that's what I do, is to disable services (look for DisableService in PlayStore) and/or restrict as much as possible via the privacy settings (depending on ROM). For example I deny Google services the location rights and only switch them on when needed.
Also there are possibilities to run your phone without any Google services at all. Search for MicroG.
But you have to understand, that using an Android device is going to violate privacy in one form or another. Same goes with Windows and Apple devices...
I don't like it at all but that's just what the world has become. If you want to use Google Services you kinda have to accept that you can't (at least not with simple fixes) protect your whole privacy. It sucks, but that's just what it is...

Some apps ask for more permissions than I want to give them.
With DroidWall I can take internet permissions away from individual apps, which is great for all those app that demand internet access even though they work fine without it. But what if I want to remove other permissions, such as access to my location or my contacts?
There is a manual way to edit unwanted permissions out of .apk files, but this method is not meant for human consumption.
Q: Is there an app that lets me allow/deny permissions per app?
It is not possible and is a very bad idea to do by modifying the APK.
I agree it'd be cool if Android was implemented to allow optional permissions. I hate adding permissions to my apps because I know some users don't want to give them. But Android is not designed this way.
Here's how I and just about every other developer would do something like make use of the READ_PHONE_STATE permissions to read your IMEI:
Code:
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String deviceId = tm.getDeviceId();
Without the READ_PHONE_STATE permission, the above could would do this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's possible for developers to write their code to handle not having a permission they expect to have:
Code:
String deviceId;
try { TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
deviceId = tm.getDeviceId();
} catch (SecurityException ex) {
deviceId = "1234";
}
However no app dev does this. And unless a future version of Android itself were to allow this, it's unlikely app devs would take the time to test and update their apps to gracefully degrade when the user has used some hacky method to restrict the app. (I wouldn't. I have to do enough testing already just supporting all the manufacture skins and custom roms.)
If you question a permission you should ask the dev. And if you don't like the answer, or don't trust the dev, you should avoid the app.
(DroidWall doesn't remove the INTERNET permission, it just firewalls off the app from using the internet. Looks like a network connection issue to the app, which already has to be handle gracefully.)
DroidWall tells the apps it blocks that there is no live internet connection, even though the connection is alive and kicking for every other app. AdBlock works in a similar way: it doesn't deny apps from calling their banner farm, it just keeps it out of reach by redirecting the request to 127.0.0.1.
There are many ways to make apps believe they've got permissions that they don't really have.
For example, a permissions manager could spoof an empty contacts list for apps that want to read your phone book. Apps that want to know where you are for no good reason would only have to be fed some random coordinates instead of getting your real location.
Maybe Android was not designed that way, but one of the advantages of an open system is that you can make it do things beyond the original specs. If we root our phones and install custom ROMs to get rid of unwanted bloatware, why not apply similar techniques to get rid of unwanted app permissions?
Of course you could simply avoid apps that ask for too many permissions (but only if suitable alternative apps are available), but such a sledgehammer approach wouldn't be necessary with a permissions manager that gives you more subtle tools to tame your apps. This way you can have the best of both worlds: remove undesired permissions without throwing out the entire app.
It's been done in the lab, hopefully they release source. The paper is a pretty good read, and not overly verbose.
Can't post links, don't want to spam 8 posts for it, so Google for "Taming Information-Stealing Smartphone Applications". The paper is from NCSU.
Exactly what I'm looking for. Let's hope it hits the market soon!
The long version (in pdf format): http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/jiang/pubs/TRUST11.pdf
The short version: http://insciences.org/article.php?article_id=10052
Even shorter: http://apps.findingthis.com/utilities/android/taming-information-stealing-smartphone-applications/
Screenshot:
Permissions manager for rooted phones from the author of Busybox: Permissions Denied.
Unfortunately, it looks like Permissions Denied actually denies permissions rather than spoofing them, so I would expect most apps to crash as mentioned by kevin. The spoofing approach in the NCSU papers seems like the more robust approach unless and until Google implements optional permissions, at which point app developers would hopefully start adding graceful permission exception handlers.
Sent from my Dinc via XDA app.
This is really the worst "feature" of Android. Someone should fix it really fast even creating a "shadow" distro with patched permission manager (if it cannot be done as an add-on).
Is anything new in this topic around?

Did they ever release the TISSA app? I can't find anything about the app since last April.
It doesn't matter anymore, 'cos now we have LBE, PDroid, and the built-in permissions manager of CyanogenMod.
i've been using lbe and it's been useful. it doesn't block every permission of an app but some things as internet (as droidwall), contacts, gps and sms/phone call it blocks. If you're looking for a real permission blocker, you may want to take a look at some cyanogen 7 rom. the app blocking is enabled on it, pretty handy for me.
Unfortunately LBE crashes my phone (black screen as soon as the background service starts) and Cyanogen Mod doesn't include this feature anymore. Are there any other permission manager apps? Since PDroid seams hard to setup.

There's a new app called LBE Security Manager, but it's Google-translated from chinese to english so it may be hard to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422479
Looks like the makers of LBE are focussing on their home market (population 1.35 billion) and ignoring the rest of the world.
Hi!
I have just got myself an android phone and I am lookign for a good permissions manager app - would be grateful for any solutions.
I've had a look at LBE, but it requires access to all your phone's functions!!! Seems silly to produce a security app that can MAKE CALLS and SEND MESSAGES from your phone!!
Are there any other alternatives for android JB?
Thank you!
PS I'm absolutely shocked by android's permissions policy - seems like a massive threat to me. maybe I'm paranoid =) I'd be grateful for any links to info about securing the phone.
Also I can't seem to set a root password but that's a different story 0_0

With the way Android is set up all permissions managers need a truckload of permissions to do their job. Once you give your security app root access the other permissions don't matter anymore. Whether it's LBE, Permissions Denied, or the built-in permissions manager of CyanogenMod makes no difference. Once you give 'em root access they can do whatever they want.

Can LBE from XDA be trusted?..
In my understanding Google does not provide any guarantees on apps downloaded from Google Play store (i.e. i've been warned about permissions when installing an app so it's at my own risk - is that right?
What is the general public view on android security then? Is it better to let one app take over the phone (eg lbe or permission denied)?

I have used various versions of LBE without problems in the past (am not using it at the moment). You need to trust someone or something eventually.
Firewall can help.
ROM Toolbox has an advanced freeze option in app manager which can disable a number of intents, including start on boot, ad engines, analytics, etc. Of course, disabling things can at times have undesirable results but if you take notes of your changes they can easily be turned back on later.

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together. (via Tapatalk)
I've switched off everything in LBE Privacy Guard (Play Store version) that needs internet, blocked it with DroidWall (and later with AFWall+), and checked my router logs and packet sniffer. I never caught LBE going online when it wasn't supposed to.
PDroid is safe too, but very hard to build into your ROM.

The mod should on any device that is 4.4.2. emulators were not working for me when I wrote this ,but that has been fixed.
As I am New to the android scene, I am not sure of the upward comparability of apis (ie. 4.4.2 to 5.0). My app does not modify system settings so worst thing you can do is install it, and if twitch crashes ,uninstall it to regain functionality.

It's currently Version 1 (Physical Version), 1.0.0 (Human Readable version)
I have people who have already downloaded and are using it so that sounds like an issue with your device and Xposed, not my app.

I am new to the Android Scene and was unaware i had to put a version name and code in the Android Manifest. That has been corrected and updated later today.

Possibly. I can look into something like that, however this would be in another app, as this app is meant to be for FrankerFaceZ. I may end up making it one whole project in the future however.

You say you update an Emote or <insert X resource here>, but I don't see the change....
The way twitch caches images, you will need to clear the app cache through your settings.

I do not have 10 posts, therefore I cannot link it. Go to the Xposed Repo, and search for FrankerFaceZ, you will find it.
Hello!
I have a question: by "framework of FrankerFaceZ" you mean that little cowboy hat button that allows you to select an emote from a list, like the one that implements the add-on for web browsers? Because I installed your module and I did not see that... Could you please explain me that part? Thanks!
Hello, I just found this module and wondering if it's still being developed. I was unsuccessful in getting it to work on my Galaxy S III running 4.4.2

It seems that the module is dead, either way.
I'm not a Java developer but I know that the following the things are true :
1. Twitch's app package name changed from com.twitch.android.viewer to com.twitch.android.app and therefore this module doesn't hook onto the current Twitch app.
2. The class/way the chatbox system is handled has been changed.
I've been trying to see if I could so something with @Stds_catchemall 's work but I've been unable to unfortunately yet, I want to work with source code and not the 'Smali God' method as people used to call it, but I'm unable at the moment to compile any closed app in Android Studio for the matter, while I can compile the apps they do not perform their functions (1.7 source, compiling with Android 4.0.4 SDK, also tried 4.4.2 SDK) and I cannot figure out why yet so I can't experiment, I have added the included Xposed Bridge API and even set as 'provided' but still no ball here so I'll be likely to post a thread sometime.
Either way, when I've played with the 'Smali' method I've only tried to change the package name, albeit it did result in the module being loaded but crashes when chatbox opens.
Even when I find that I will have set up Android Studio in the future, I will have to do a lot of experimentation for a huge amount in the source code is foreign to me.
That's a shame. I was so hopeful when I installed it. It would be really awesome to get FrankerFaceZ to work for android!
Any news on this at all? Anything in progress? Thanks.

Seems it was answered ahead of time .
StrimbagZ now exists and implements a unique method of implementing FFZ to mobile.
Let's just say that it encapsulates the regular browser extension and draws a browser window on the bottom half of the screen while keeps the top half for the stream .
Due to the design, the normal PC interface of the extension in fact looks pretty good on mobile in fact the original FFZ dev helped a bit towards this app as he hid options that are redundant if the client is detected (e.g. Stream delay under stream).
I gave the dev a lot of praise and I still do - the way he scales the browser window for chat... Well... I couldn't break it since original release.
(Oh and I was also 2nd to download it on the Play Store ).
As for integrating it back to the Twitch app... Well, the code of the Twitch app - let's say got a bit obfuscated. Being Java the language originally used was beyond my knowledge and our dev here also struggled a bit with regards to how (I want to say obfuscated) the code of the app's chat because following changes back at the time it broke - it probably would have taken either too much trial and improvement (which takes time) to pull off or the source code.

XPrivacyLua custom hook definitions
By using XPrivacyLua you can define Xposed hooks and apply them to any app at run time (so, rebooting your device is not necessary). You can write hook code on your device in Lua, which is quite easy to learn.
See the documentation about how to define hooks.
Although XPrivacyLua has 'privacy' in its name, new hooks don't need to be privacy related at all. Disabling the built in privacy related hooks is a matter of selecting another collection of hooks.
This XDA thread is meant to discuss defining hooks, with the restriction that hook definitions must serve a legally allowed purpose. This XDA thread is not meant to make you a developer, so at least some development experience is expected, which means that you'll need to be able to figure out where to hook yourself and that you'll need to be able to write Lua scripts yourself.

Could there be a generic "always return true" lua script?
And when building a definition, what does it mean to be in a group and collection? Do I just put anything there or do I have to call them something particular?
Well, I'm trying but I'm lost. Just trying to setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled
https://firebase.google.com/support/guides/disable-analytics
Code:
public void setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled (boolean enabled) = false
supposedly disables Firebase Analytics (which apparently 67% of the top 200 apps use).
My definition looks like
Collection: privacy
Group: firebase
Name: firebase.analytics
author: whatever
class: com.google.firebase.analytics
method:setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled
parameter type: void
return type: boolean
min/max sdk: 1/999
lua script: @generic_false_value I suppose I can use this?
Even if this looks valid, it feels like maybe this wouldn't fire unless certain other things happen first? Looking at your hooks.json for google analytics it looks like you had to maybe set a chain of events to occur to get to the point of controlling the method you intend to make changes?

The built-in scripts are not meant for general use because they might change over time breaking stuff that depends on them. Therefore imported definitions are not linked against the built-in scripts. If needed, you can simply copy and paste the Lua script from another (built in) definition. Copying guarantees your definition will keep working, even when the built-in scripts are changed or even removed.
Calling setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled requires access to an instance of FirebaseAnalytics, which apps needs to get by calling getInstance. So, hook getInstance to call setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(false) and hook setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled to prevent an app from turning analytics on again.
Restricting Google Analytics (available in the next release of XPrivacyLua) works similar:
https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua/blob/master/app/src/main/assets/ga_getinstance.lua
https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua/blob/master/app/src/main/assets/ga_setdryrun.lua

No, Google Analytics and Firebase Analytics are not the same and need different definitions.
Restricting Firebase Analytics works properly with these hook definitions:

With the latest version of XPrivacyLua / companion app you can change the collection of hooks to use in XPrivacyLua. The default is to use the collection 'Privacy'. You can define your own collection by definition hooks with a new collection name. There can only be one collection active at one time, so if you want to add your own definitions to the built-in privacy collection you'll have to use the collection 'Privacy'. Basically collections exists to allow using XPrivacyLua for things other than privacy.
Groups are listed in the XPrivacyLua app and make it easy to apply a group of hooks to one or more apps. XPrivacyLua cannot and will not handle applying individual hooks to keep things simple, but I might add this to the pro companion app in the near feature. For now you can rename a group of an existing hook definition to be able to apply it separately in XPrivacyLua.
Edit: this has been clarified in the documentation too now: https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua/blob/master/DEFINE.md
I still have some questions on when,where,how etc.... but I will wait until I can dedicate more time to playing with this.
I do have a feature request.
could there be a sort of drop down box that queries all valid entries for each item when creating a custom definition.
for example...
when creating a custom definition, when taping on the line for group, you would just type a new group (as it is now) but if there was a drop down arrow at the end of the line that could give a list of currently used groups and then the user could just click the listed group instead of typing and it would auto-fill that field.
maybe even more useful would be for the other items like Name,Class, Method etc...
where it could show possible entries. That would help a lot.
... I turned on notifications for your new Firebase rules. I would think a bunch of apps I have use Firebase Analytics. @M66B Have you seen any apps trigger it yet?
Even if the app imported Firebase Analytics library and gathers Firebase Analytics but never uses the setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled() method in its own code would it mean this hook will never trigger?

Thanks:highfive:.
This is just a suggestion but if this was my app I would break these 2 elements out to separate screens from the definition builder. You would define collections and groups in a separate spot, and then when building rules the collections and groups would pull in as a selectable dropdown. Avoids typos and helps to explain how there can be only one active collection for XPrivacyLua.

I will see what I can do for collection and group, but all the other fields are flexible and depend on the hook.

An app will normally not disable/enable analytics given the default is enabled and the user has mostly no choice in this. So see this hook as a safeguard to prevent an app enabling analytics again after we disabled it in another hook

Would there be a way to introduce the app to calling it? Or maybe that's what you're implying. Also, have you noticed that system and google apps seem to gray out the read identifiers permission? Ex: set read identifiers as restricted on Android Webview or Google Photos/Maps/Google TTS. Turns pink Get out of XPrivacyLua and open it again. Read Identifiers is gray. (I'm on LineageOS if that matters)

Normally an apps doesn't call the function. Maybe if the user can choose to opt in or opt out, but this is rarely the case.
The other thing should go into the XPrivacyLua XDA thread, but I will look into it anyway.

Thanks, That's a good start.
Maybe if the "PRO" app takes off enough for you to bother you could charge extra for the expanded feature of having the drop lists change depending on the choices made?
I did have a moment to look over a definition I was playing with for "TIME"
it serves no real purpose so I gave up early but if I could get a better understanding on why it doesn't work it could help with actual ones.
using the FINGERPRINT example I made several other entries that all worked fine but this one caused issue.
I assumed it was because according to https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html the type for TIME wasn't "String" but "Long"
this is the last one I tried...
Code:
{
"collection": "Privacy",
"group": "Read.Device",
"name": "Build.TIME",
"author": "M66B",
"className": "android.os.Build",
"methodName": "#TIME",
"parameterTypes": [],
"returnType": "long",
"minSdk": 1,
"maxSdk": 999,
"enabled": true,
"optional": false,
"usage": true,
"notify": false,
"luaScript": "function after(hook, param)\n param:setResult("unknown")\n return true\nend\n"
}
I was also playing with "SUPPORTED_ABIS" which also didn't work and the type was "Sting []" instead of just "String" so I was thinking that was the problem also.
@mnjm9b You are returning a string (series of characters) as a long (number). Try returning just a number (without the quotes).
String[] is an array (mulitple strings), so you need to return an array as well. But I don't know how to do that in Lua right now

You are 100% right.
Returning a string array is not trivial. Look at 'generic_empty_string_array.lua' about how to do this.

so in my example the returnType instead of "long" should be a number like 0 without quotes?

No. the return type was correct. That specifies what type of object you are expected to return. What you need to change is what you then actually return, which is
Code:
param:setResult("unknown")
to

Thank you for your work, if i understand right, you provide us an programmable interface that will execute command lines written in Lua language without having to create a complete module in JAVA for XPosed?
From what i understood in your initial post, you indicate that we must install your module "XPrivacyLua", then that one disposes there after of the possibility to apply for the applications which one wishes, lines of codes written in Lua language and which do not necessarily have to relate to the logic of rights of access concerning privacy?
If yes then we must necessarily install XPrivacyLua even if in view of all your work provided on it the basic functions do not interest me forcibly?
All this seems to be promising however :good:

You'll need XPrivacyLua to install and run defined Xposed hooks written in Lua, but you don't need to use the built in privacy related hooks.
The companion app allows you to switch to another collection of hooks you've written, in effect disabling the built-in privacy related hooks.
Try it and I will help you when needed and in the process I will update the documentation where needed.

@anonuser14 Here you find a review of Jodel written in German. As you're obviously using Jodel, I assume you speak German otherwise please use a machine translator. I'm convinced you'll find the answers to your questions about the absolutely privacy related desaster application.
yes, im german. first thing i did was reading the privacy note from jodel and i even asked the support. all they said was, they use my devide id, which is obvisly not the whole truth. im not a developer or something, all i know is how to flash a rom & root a device. so, all i need is an expert looking into this case and helping me. ( I attached the anwers from jodel)
If you're rooted and using Xposed (in whatever version) I suggest to spoof your device ID with XPrivacy Lua by @M66B like I do.

A Jodel account is tied to Device ID of phone it 1st time was installed on. Hence you can't use Jodel on another phone.
Also Jodel doesn't allow you to create multiple accounts, as you tried to do.
like i said, i bought a used phone, i did not try to create multiple accounts, and most important, its not tied to the device id, at least not tied to just the device id. i tried reinstalling the app, used privicy lua, changed the phone id, but jodel still can identify my device.
how?

@anonuser14 As far as I remember, Mike Kuketz has briefly reviewed that app about two years ago. Here's a shortened quotation of his conclusion (German-English translation by https://www.deepl.com:
Yodel is a good example of how just starting an app is enough to get an impression of how privacy-friendly it is. My impression: miserable.
At least the information in the privacy policy is relatively transparent - privacy-sensitive users will therefore probably not use Yodel.

Hello and good morning, @VD171
I guess you need to address the OP @mythos_ with this question but as far as I understand it's about the Xposed module XPrivacyLua by @M66B and not about LSPosed. If my assumption is correct it's on the OP to decide if LSPosed related questions and contributions are off-topic (OT) or not. A moderator will never get involved to that unless a threadowner (and only the owner) reports something as OT.

The main focus should be on XPL but since LSPosed is needed to run XPL, I see nothing wrong with discussing it here.
QoL things like how to auto-add new apps to LSPosed are fine. Of course if people want a more in depth discussion (e.g. bugs, new features, etc.) they should post in the LSPosed threads as the developers don't read this.

According to github there is a whole bunch of people who forked it in the past month. How active they will be in the future and (more importantly) how much you can trust them is another issue.
when this project was abandoned by m66b did he opensource the "pro" app?
and is the code available now for free to be built from source?
or is there a link to the last version?
i hope someone keeps working on this, as privacy is more and more important the more stuff is kept on our phones.

[CLOSED][APP][XPOSED][6.0+] XPrivacyLua - Android privacy manager [UNSUPPORTED]
XPrivacyLua Really simple to use privacy manager for Android 6.0 Marshmallow and later (successor of XPrivacy). Revoking Android permissions from apps often let apps crash or malfunction. XPrivacyLua solves this by feeding apps fake data...

(...) The pro companion app won't be open-sourced. If somebody wants to continue the project, (s)he can prove being a worthy developer by developing a new pro companion app, which can be done in at most a few days. As already offered, another developer can ask for the source code after a significant contribution to the source code as well.

I've already reported to @M66B about "MEW wallet" app which can't be restricted (tested on A10) to access camera (not sure is it was photo or video - app is handling QR codes) at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...acy-manager-unsupported.3730663/post-87416749.
Now I've installed LineageOS 20 (A13) and noticed default Camera app (which is new "Aperture" Lineage app) also can't be restricted to BOTH video and photo (but microphone restriction works okay and result in recording video without sound).
Looks like there are some new API to be restricted… so, @M66B, maybe you can update XPrivacyLua a bit to fix this? Or at least give some hint for someone who might wanna fork it?

Not with LSPosed but according to this post you can do it with tasker. I think there's also an LSPosed fork that does it too.

I've checked both Tasker methods to update LSPosed.
First one (UI automation) didn't work because there are no "LSPosed Manager" app (it's now started only as a widget, and I don't found a way in Tasker to start widget), so this unlikely can be fixed at all.
Second one (database editing) might work… but to me it looks unsafe: each time new app is installed it does kill `lspd` (LSPosed daemon, I suppose) after editing database for 1 second and then restarts it. I think this might result in allowing app apps to bypass XPrivacyLua restictions within that 1 second. No idea how to test this.
Also I've tried to replace original LSPosed with modified version https://github.com/mywalkb/LSPosed_mod - it works like a charm: installed as drop-in replacement over original one, keeps all configuration of original one after reboot and provide new UI to automatically add new apps to XPrivacyLua module! To me it looks like main and only actual way to continue using XPrivacyLua for now.

The main focus should be on XPL but since LSPosed is needed to run XPL, I see nothing wrong with discussing it here.
QoL things like how to auto-add new apps to LSPosed are fine. Of course if people want a more in depth discussion (e.g. bugs, new features, etc.) they should post in the LSPosed threads as the developers don't read this.

You might want to add that info to the OP of this thread in order to avoid any further confusion in the future
Cheers

@M66B won't care with that.
You should do what you want by yourself or wait and hope to someone else release that.

"auto-add" is a waste of time.
LSPosed is developed for avoiding something like "all-add" or "auto-add".
Since you are talking about something that is contrary to the official release, LSPosed developers will never read and care to the thread.
