Could you build this?
Partial The UI and settings are vibe-codeable, and XPrivacyLua gives a starting codebase, but the core function requires hooking Android system APIs and privacy-sensitive permissions, which needs low-level Android and Xposed/Lua expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version needs an Android module built on an Xposed-style framework (LSPosed or similar) that intercepts API calls such as location, device IDs, contacts, and sensors and returns plausible fake values per app. The hard parts are keeping hooks stable across Android versions and ROMs, avoiding app crashes or detection, and testing across many apps. This calls for an experienced Android systems developer, not just vibe coding.
