Platform:
Android 4.1

Steps to reproduce:
set up a "spoof" google ID through xprivacy

Deny com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_G SERVICES to both Google Play and Google Service Framework

Purge data of Google play AND google play service.

Result:
Google play can no longer connect.
However, it can connect again if com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_G SERVICES is re-enabled for google play.

logcats with debug enabled in xprivacy
good.txt - the one where google play connects (com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_G SERVICES is allowed)

bad.txt - the one where it fails ( com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_G SERVICES is denied)

I can upload full Xprivacy databases for both cases, so that reproducing the issue will be easier.

Interesting observation:

if I chose "randomize at startup" for Google Play, Google Services Framework, and "Global", then purge google play and google play service data, and after that finally reboot, the issue does not arise (but my country gets also randomized which is not something I want :( )

I will.
Anything else I might do to help figuring this one out, or should it be treated as "works enough" for now ?
