I installed NFC Reader from F-Droid repo on a CM 10.1 phone without gapps.
XPrivacy set NFC filters by default, but NFC Reader app can still read the NFC tags.
Is this normal or am I missing something in the settings?

Thanks for reporting this.
I have no devices with NFC, but since the app is open source it was easy to find out how it read NFC tags :-)
Could you please try if this version prevents the app from reading NFC's?

Thanks for the quick response. Installed 1.9.4 and now the app won't start if NFC/getDefaultAdapter is blocked, but works fine when the restriction is lifted.

There's one more thing tho. I tried to read a tag with Automagic app with all NFC filters turned on, and it did read the tag. NFC function calls weren't even registered in XPrivacy's usage log :/

Thanks for testing and reporting back.
I have no idea how the Automagic reads tags.
Can you post a logcat? Maybe this helps to figure it out.

Did you also check if another (system) app reported usage data for NFC?
It could be that the app reads tags through another (system) app.

CatLog saves the log to a txt file, but can't find it when I connect the phone to USB xD

restricting NFC/getDefaultAdapter prevents Automagic from writing to NFC tags, but it can still read the tags when all NFC restrictions are in place.

I have checked the usage but no other app seems to trigger NFC rules when a tag is read :/

It should be fixed in this test release: http://d-h.st/RO7

If not, please reopen this issue.
