## What it is
An Xposed module for rooted Android devices that hides installed apps from other apps' package list queries. It intercepts app list detections to prevent root-related apps from being fingerprinted and to protect against app list-based tracking.

## Use cases
- hide root apps like Fake Location from being detected by other apps
- prevent apps from fingerprinting my installed app list
- stop apps from detecting that my device is rooted
- reject app list requests from specific apps
- test whether my app list is properly hidden

## When to choose
- you have a rooted Android device with Xposed/LSPosed framework installed
- you need to use root-dependent apps that are detected and blocked by other apps
- you want to protect against app list fingerprinting for privacy

## When to avoid
- your device is not rooted or lacks an Xposed framework
- you need permissively licensed software you can modify or redistribute (license changed to restrictive terms in v3.4)
- you only need to hide apps from the launcher rather than from programmatic detection
