Regarding generating imsi this site have imsi generator http://www.imei.info/imsi/
you need to enter operator codes (you can get them from here http://www.imei.info/operator-codes/ ) and then they generate an imsi code based on that
I thought maybe you can check their html source code and use it in ur app if possible
There is also a program that can generate imsi codes

IANAL. If this is implemented we'll need a version that has it complied out for countries that consider this to be illegal. I suspect this would fall under the 'interfere' provision in the UK, for example: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2002/31/section/1

Aren't those spoofed codes in Xprivacy only readable by other applications? I presume you can't spoof what the SIM sends to the cell towers. So it's probably no problem.

Cerberus is right. Only the app that requested IMSI will see the spoofed key. You aren't spoofing the actual network. You're just hiding your IMSI from a nosey app.

I will add randomization as "001xxxxxxxxxxxx" (15 digits).
001 = Test Network, see here:
