Permissions

AIMSICD has tons of cool features, but you might be confused or worry why we need so many permissions. This page shall shed some light on this. Since our App needs to digg down deep into the baseband and read values that are normally not readable, the Android-IMSI-Catcher-Detector needs just about all variables, especially ROOT access for extended functions, but don't worry, it is not mandatory.

XPrivacy

If you use XPrivacy (also on XDA-Developers), ONLY restrict the following Permissions:

• Browser-Bookmarks
• E-Mail
• Calendar
• Contacts
• User Dictionary

Above restrictions have been tested thoroughly, but we do not guarantee AIMSICD to work as supposed to when restricting any Permissions. These values have been submitted to the XPrivacy Crowd sourced restrictions. If you use the PRO-Version of XPrivacy, you can just download them automatically from the database of crowd sourced restrictions.

❗ If you experience any Issues, completely disable XPrivacy first before reporting a bug!
