AIMSICD has tons of cool features, so you might be confused as to what permissions you should grant. Well it's actually really easy! Since our App needs to digg down deep into the baseband and read values that are normally not readable, the Android-IMSI-Catcher-Detector needs just about all variables, especially ROOT access for extended functions, but don't worry, it is not mandatory.
