XPrivacy force close

[jack980517]

I'm using ver 3.5 of the app on PAC-ROM KitKat RC-3. XPosed framework version 58/54. Before an update (I'm not sure which one) XPrivacy works fine. Now it can't be run from the launcher icon (it force closes), while the restrictions I configured before the update is still functional. The notification is also being displayed properly whenever an app is upgraded or newly installed. Plz provide instructions on how to get log files, and I'll send it to you.

There are instructions in the FAQ:

Please note that I cannot do anything without logcat.
XPrivacy is tested by me and several other people and nobody has this problem.

[M66B]

I am closing this issue for now, but if you provide a logcat I will look into it.

[jack980517]

I know the importance of logcat, that's why I wrote the last sentence. The problem is, however, that I cannot start XPrivacy at all (it force closes immediately), so it's not possible to "turn on debug logging". Any workaround?

[M66B]

I don't think that debug logging is needed to find the cause of this.

I Ctrl-C'ed after the force close window showed up and I tapped OK.

This problem is caused by Cydia Substrate.

[M66B]

XPrivacy has limited, mostly untested, support for Cydia Substrate.
Cydia Substrate itself doesn't seem to be supported at all.
My advice: disable Cydia Substrate and use Xposed.

[jack980517]

I have both Cydia Substrate and Xposed installed. I need Cydia Substrate for RootCloak Plus, which is the only working app I know to bypass root detection for the game, LoveLive. And Cydia Substrate doesn't have the option to disable modules individually, unlike Xposed. So to use XPrivacy I must abandon Cydia Substrate and LoveLive?

[jack980517]

On Android 4.4, with the help of SELinuxModeChanger, Cydia Substrate can be used.
I found XPrivacy in the Xposed repo, and I didn't expect it to work with Cydia Substrate at all. Maybe you can add a switch in XPrivacy's settings to disable Cydia Substrate support for it?

[M66B]

I don't want to support Cydia Substrate, since Cydia Substrate isn't supported itself too, so I have removed Cydia Substrate support altogether for the next release.
Test version: https://crowd.xprivacy.eu/XPrivacy_3.5.7c.apk
Please let me know if it works.

[jack980517]

It works, but I have to disable it, reboot, enable it again, and reboot again. Just install and reboot will cause it to prompt that it's not enabled in XPosed installer, although it is enabled. Anyway, thanks for the effort!

[M66B]

This is probably because you rebooted before Xposed detected the update.
