yes. in short, it didn't work for me. either your ROM supports that out of the box (mine didn't), or you install xposed (should be rather simple with their installer, but didn't work for me, likely because my five year old device isn't supported), or you patch your ROM manually to enable "app impersonation" (signature spoofing), that didn't work for me either.

but the xposed route should be simple, provided you have root access.
