    What is XPrivacyLua?

    Revoking Android permissions from apps often let apps crash or malfunction. XPrivacyLua solves this by feeding apps fake data instead of real data.

    I tried to understand how to implement it, but I got confused... Does it needs root?? I've found it to be an awesome idea, but relying on Xposed, made me more confuse about what should I do to use it properly. If someone could at least say me if it needs root, I would be very pleased
