I'll admit I'm getting a little tinfoil hat, but I want to be able to get an Android device (likely a Nexus with AOSP/Cyanogen) that I can install a couple closed source apps on that won't be able to see anything outside of what I choose. Obviously I'll be installing them via APK (legit APK's not pirated apps in any sense) without any GPlay services installed. I know it might not be possible according to my searches, but I can't find anything on whether it's redundant or not.
Basically my concern is I can't know if a closed source app won't be able to look at anything else I do. Similar with GPlay itself.
Edit: I thought about multiboot and encryption, but multiboot doesn't seem to support encryption.
Edit edit: Seems multiboot now does encryption to an extent, so I'll look in to this.

And it also isn't 100% guaranteed to work because if a programmer wants to get around XPrivacy, they can. But they need to program with that in mind.
