Hi,
I'm using you fantastic app since about two now on my phone without problems. Now I also installed Xprivacy 2.0.10 (317) on my tablet (Nexus 7 2012 with OmniROM). While on my phone already installed apps were not restricted, on the tablet each app showed a question mark on the right and in the detailed view all permissions got the on-demand checkbox set. However, none of those Apps is restricted in any way, which was where I began to wonder and started experimenting a bit:

At first, I thought maybe some initialization problem and I applied the default template to all of them (categories and functions). After it finished I rebooted and still they showed the question mark, as it should be, but still no dialog appeared for none of the apps and the activity log reveals that all permissions were granted.
However, the permission restriction itself does work, after checking the left column for some function the activity log shows that the access is correctly blocked. The only problem is that the App does not honor the on-demand column.
Not even disabling and re-enabling the on-demand checkbox for a single function works, still no dialog appears. The only way to get the on-demand restrictions working for an app is to disable and re-enable its global on-demand checkbox (next to the on/off switch). To fix everything I would have to do this for all of my 200 apps, which is quite cumbersome. I also tried removing the settings completely for an app or re-applying the template, nothing else helps.

For newly installed and updated apps the on-demand settings work, but not for already installed ones. Hopefully this helps to fix the problem, as I really like to rely on the fact that the app asks me for permission when I set the '?'-checkbox else this app only creates a false sense of security.

I cannot reproduce it, so please describe in detail how this happened.

By default on demand restricting for existing applications is disabled to prevent an on demand "hell", which could easily bring down your device. If you enable "restrict dangerous" in the main settings, you can batch enable on demand restricting.

I can reproduce it every time here, tried it three times now:
optionally delete all XPrivacy data (using option in xprivacy menu), uninstall xprivacy, reboot, download&install xprivacy from xposed, enable module, reboot, start xprivacy => question marks everywhere, a black one next to each app and in the app details one next to each non-red function.
I have the Pro licence installed, but the first time I tried it the same happend without it, too.

If I can send you anything from my device that helps troubleshooting just tell me.
