Overview: XPrivacy can prevent applications (including associated background services and content providers) 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,
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.
