Use existing settings when installing app again

[puchu]

when a program is uninstalled the entries with the corresponding uid should be removed from the biz.bokhorst.xprivacy.provider.xml file

I have recently remove the code to delete the configured restictions and usage data, because I planned to re-use it when the application is installed again (it will get the same uid in most cases).

[puchu]

but isn't most of the time somehow unaccurate?

[M66B]

I have never seen a case it was incorrect.
Android stores information about uninstalled applications.
It is even possible to request a list of uninstalled applications (which can be restricted ;-) )

Will be implemented in next release.

Previously if a user had a problem with an app...if they had blocked something they should not have they could uninstall the app and reinstall it to just lose the settings for that app...as opposed to clearing data and losing ALL app info. If the information is going to be retained (which I think is a nice feature) then there needs to be a way for the user to "uncheck" all rules including restricted for an app...basically a start over button for that app. Are you planning to do this with system apps?

[M66B]

After installing an app there will be a notification to review the settings, either previous or fully restricted.
You can always check/uncheck what you like at that moment.
IMHO that is enough.

would really be nice to have to possibility to at least remove udis from apps that are not installed anymore. i for example test some versions of an app like audio recording and take the best one in the end. i will never reinstall all this crappy apps i installed to find a good audio recording app. So the xml file messes up and in the end it maybe holds more "dead" uids than "alive" udis

Export settings, clear data, import settings if you really care about this, but for the functioning of XPrivacy it is not important. We cannot have both saving for reinstall and delete on uninstall.
