XPrivacy Pro apk 1.7 android app
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, when it requests access to your contacts. Similarly,
restricting an application's access to your location will result in a
random or set location being sent to the application.
XPrivacy
doesn't revoke (i.e. block) permissions from an application, which means
that most applications will continue to work as before and won't force
close. There are two exceptions to this, access to the internet and to
external storage (typically an SD card) is restricted by denying access
(revoking permissions). There is no other way to realize this, since
these permissions are handled by Android in a special way. Android
delegates handling of these permission to the underlying Linux
network/file system.
If restricting a category of data for an
application results in problems for the application, it is possible to
allow access to the data category again to solve the issue.
By
default, all newly installed applications will have no access to any
data category at all, to prevent a new application from leaking
sensitive data right after installation. Shortly after installing a new
application, XPrivacy will ask which data categories you want the new
application to have access to. XPrivacy comes with an application
browser, which allows you to quickly enable or disable applications'
access to a particular data category (i.e. to view and control all
access to the camera, for example). It is also possible to edit all data
categories for one application.
To help you identify potential
data leaks, XPrivacy will monitor attempts made by all applications to
access sensitive data. XPrivacy will display a yellow triangle icon as
soon as data of a data category has been used. XPrivacy will also
display if an application has internet access, indicating that the
application poses a risk of sharing the data it obtains with an external
server. This is just a guideline, since an application could access the
internet through other applications too. If an application has
requested Android permissions to access data in a data category, this
will be displayed with a green tick icon, but this will only be shown
when looking at an individual application, since checking permissions
for all applications is quite slow.
XPrivacy is built using the
Xposed framework. XPrivacy taps into a number of selected functions of
Android through the Xposed framework. Depending on the function,
XPrivacy conditionally skips execution of the original function (for
example when an application tries to set a proximity alert) or alters
the result of the original function (for example to return empty
calendar data).
XPrivacy has been tested with CyanogenMod 10 and
10.1 (Android 4.1 and 4.2), and will most likely work with any Android
version 4.1 or 4.2 variant, including stock ROMs. Root access is needed
to install the Xposed framework. Because of a bug in the Xposed
framework, XPrivacy currently needs a fixed Xposed binary, which is
provided as download for both Android version 4.1 and 4.2.
