This is the way to do it for legally mandated identifiers like that. Only the baseband knows the actually IMEI, otherwise the OS just blanks it out or randomizes it, down to kernel calls. Still isn't a very good solution, since you need to have a consistent identifier for some parts of networking to work, such as MAC addresses, IPs, bluetooth MACs, etc.
