The functions of which xprivacy is capable seem excellent. Unfortunately, when I tried it I found it to be an enormous hassle to use. The UI was bad enough but upgrading Cyanogenmod with xposed and xprivacy was more of a nuisance.
Cyanogenmod's Privacy Guard is easy enough to use though its protections don't go as far as I'd like. Pdroid seemed to be a reasonable compromise in ease of use and protection between the two, though that seems no longer to be available.

- gvurrdon 10y agoIndeed, Privacy Guard can't do that, unfortunately.
