[Q] Easier to use alternative to LBE and XPrivacy? topic

Until a few months ago I used LBE to prevent apps from giving away my privacy. Since the language updates stopped working, I searched for an alternative and found XPRIVACY. It seems very power, so I even bought the licence for automated community blocking suggestions for apps.

Unfortunately it turns out that XPRIVACY is not very good in the sense of usability. It quite often happens that apps stop working, because the community provided suggestions are far to restrictive and it is quite complicated to find the source of the problem. Then on every update I am asked again for configuring the privacy settings of an app. I finally gave up and just removed any restrictions on apps which I could not get working. Obviously not a good solution.

Now I am looking for an alternative. I already discovery Cyanogenmods integrated "Privacy Settings". The main thing I am missing here is blocking of access to device-ID and IMEI. Is there a way to add this? Or can someone point me to an alternative, easier to handle privacy solution? I should be one which would also allow to restrict google apps on the rom.

Alternative to xprivacy if I go to 5.0 LP ROM topic

Hi,

As Xposed apparently won't be ported soon to LP if ever, I was wondering if I update to LP (Galaxy S4 got GE LP), what options I have to protect my privacy and manage those permissions? I am too much spoiled by Xprivacy I doubt if there is anything as good as Xprivacy but need at least something that can do a minimum job to block and deny some permissions.

Thanks for all your suggestions :)

P.S I was also thinking of making a post to list all alternatives to different xposed module, what do you guy say ? I can keep the OP uptodate if you share your alternative Mods/Apps to xposed modules
