Guest users still have access to your files probably.
What apps are you trying to use which are so dangerous?

[Q] Install xposed on secondary user account

Hi,
I have looked all over for an answer on this. I can't get Xposed to install on a secondary account on my device. Is this possible, or a restriction of Xposed?

Xposed should install globally from any use account so long as you have root
It's system wide
Sent from my m7spr
Sorry, I thought I replied to this.
No it is not working. I can not get it to work on my galaxy note 10.1 2014, or my nexus 7 2012 device. I am trying to install a module on a secondary account, but have no way of activating that module. When I try to install xposed on the secondary account it throws up an error.
And can I mention that the particular modules work fine on the primary account, and the devices have root.
I found what I believe to be the issue
Secondary users don't have root
And I noticed the cm11 theme engine doesn't work well on second accounts, only keeping the framework-res changes, and not the icons or fonts or anything else, which leads me to believe that xposed is limited to the same thing
Multi-User support is very lacking in the root world

Emulation || Running Lollipop 5.0 ROM on a Jellybean 4.2.2 device
Gentlemen,
I am a Gionee Elife E7 user. It runs on Jellybean 4.2.2. I wish to run this Lollipop 5.0 ROM on my E7.
But I dont want to flash it. Instead, I want to emulate it on my device. Like the same way how many people have run Windows XP on their Android device without actually disturbing the ROM installed on the device. I want to run this ROM on my Jellybean device. I guess this is known as Emulation.
Kindly provide help on this and the procedures required to do the same.

This is not possible, and no one has been able to "emulate" Windows XP on Android. Windows is closed-source and Windows XP does not work on ARM, only on x64/x86 architectures. And yes I know you're talking about emulation, but what you're saying is unrealistic of doing a virtual machine on your phone to a newer version of Android.
Google Now anytime
Is there a way to enable this on this rom? This is a nice feature and these options are grayed out under the google now settings.
Anyone else on sprint only have 1x after flashing this or is it just me
Voice in Google Now / Battery Life
Hey,
Does the Google Now Voice activation work with the screen off in this ROM? and what kind of battery life are you all getting on it?
Is there a way to flash this without having Google music thinking my phone is a new device? Thanks in advance.

I don't think so
I think there is a way to back up and restore the android device Id in titanium but I'm not sure of the procedure. I can find it on line but I was hoping some one who has successfully done it can attest to it working.
If you have titanium set to backup its data to the SD card the first time you launch it after flashing it will give you a pop up that says that the id has changed and asks if you want to change it back. Hit yes and the phone will reboot and it'll have the old id. Alternatively I think you can manage id's in titaniums settings as well
Yup I was just playing with that. But are we sure that will keep Google music from tagging the phone as a new device? Thanks again.
Can anyone confirm that restoring the android id stops Google music from recognizing the rom/phone as a new device? I hear this proposed as a solution but I've never heard that it actually works.
Loose call sound when i turn off touch sounds in settings. Comes right back up when i turn touch sounds back on. Not able to hear people I'm calling.

Fixed, thanks InstigatorX! Edited build.prop and the HDR+ option comes back to the stock camera app. Taking photos with it works fine, no FC.

I'm using the Gmail app for all my e-mails, no issues there. I don't have an exchange e-mail though, we use google apps for our mail at work.

I'm not sure if this is a permanent fix or not. But after I install everything I deleted velvet out of the priv-app folder rebooted my phone. Then download Google search from the play store and moved it from data to system(priv-app) and rebooted again. I know have ok Google on lock screen and all. Also aside note if you try to leave search just installed on data side it will not allow you to do any thing besides ok Google in the search app. You have to move to system to get full function.

I tried this and can't seem to re-install it from the play store. I get a -505 error during install. Tried clearing play store cache and clearing cache from recovery. Any ideas?

Region Unlock?

Hey everyone I'm considering installing Xposed on my Nexus 7 2013 (After rooting it) and I wanted to know if there are modules (either to download or preinstalled) to let me download region locked apps on Google Play? I know VPN is an opportunity option, but it only works half the time. Any advice is helpful!

You could try to use Raccoon, which let's you download apps from the Play Store to your PC. It is possible to set up a fake device to download geo-restricted apps (apps that aren't available in your country).
I use Raccoon from time to time, I just didn't know that I could make a fake device profile for geo restricted apps. Is there a tutorial on how to achieve that?
Sure. Check the official Raccoon webpage.

Samsung good lock modules ... AFAIK that must be officially developed via Samsung.

Nope, not possible.
Good Lock modules use APIs specific to Samsung's OneUI. The code required in the OS for the modules to tie into simply does not exist on other devices.
As for porting... There have been attempts, but due to how embedded are certain features (e.g. Knox) that rely on specific hardware, most ports end up in a half-usable state.

Help to de-google my phone

G'day
I'm sick of google and everything they are about. Don't be evil my arse. I already do the simple stuff like using brave browser and duck duck go search. I'm hoping someone can advise me on how to strip my phone of as much google as possible and replace with aosp alternatives. Or even just point me towards some guides on it.
I am using a Samsung galaxy a22 5g rooted with magisk stock rom.
Thanks
I think you might want to flash a custom ROM, then use something like MicroG Magisk, NanoDroid or FOSSApps. Ungoogling an already Googled stock ROM might be more pain than flashing something community developed.
I'm currently running Lineage with Magisk GApps (so I can remove them anytime) and I'm slowly getting ready for the transition. So I'm also looking for more information.
I set up a VPS for myself (might be an overkill for you, but inspiration nonethelss) and I'm hosting OnlyOFFICE Community there and using their apps, I also host my own BitWarden password storage and a mail server (was kinda pain to set it up with all the methods for spam verification). This way some of my most sensitive data is kept on an encrypted drive on a server I myself control.
Then there's getting apps which are mainly available through Google Play - I found that uptodown does host apks, but that's far from an actually viable option (considering you really have to trust them when you're downloading apps there). Alternative stores providing the same apps as Google Play are always kinda worrying to use & trust.
So that's my two cents worth and a starting point, I'll also gladly accept some tips & tricks to accomplish this entirely, it's a long-lasting dream to leave Google altogether.

i think it's better to use a custom aosp rom with no gapps
if you still want stock rom :
make a recovery backup of "system" just in case
mount system
the folders that have apps are :
system/app
system/priv-app
system/product/app
system/product/priv-app
(if you use A11+ check also system-ext/app and priv-app)
delete anyhing related to google
if you don't want to delete use lucky patcher or titanium backup to freez them
if you choose freezing, make a recovery backup of "data"

Hey thanks for the reply and info. Flashing an aosp custom rom would be my usual go to. However I've been on an oppo with unlockable bootlader for last 18 months and now I got this samsung I find there is zero rom dev on this phone. The only options I can find are GSI which is a new concept to me and I'm a little uncertain about going that route.

Cheers for this. Agree on the first statement but having been on an oppo with unlockable bootlader for last 18 months and now I got this samsung I find there is zero rom dev on this phone. The only options I can find are GSI which is a new concept to me and I'm a little uncertain about going that route.
Do you think I should go with a GSI rom? If safe and stable I'm happy to do the research because I'd love to get a custom aosp rom going on this.
Afaik this samsung can't even access fastboot gotta use the Samsung flashing software instead and the only thread on twrp for this phone is experimental and doesn't seem to be confirmed as working by anyone.
Hence why so far I've stuck with stock and magisk
I used to flash heaps of roms and kernels on older devices but this whole GSI thing is new to me. If it's dicey I'll go the TB route with the folders you pointed me to. Cheers

if yo can backup system/vendor/boot/dtbo/data then go for it
if not , you will have to reflash the stock if anything goes wrong ...

looks like your options are risky , google the app name before freezing ...
don't freez :
"google Extservice" or something like that
"settingintelligencegoogle" and "modulemetadatagoogle"

Cool cheers for your help mate. Touche on the last point. New job with nice pay bump coming so that will be the go I think.
I use Graphene OS on my Pixel 6 and CalyXOS on the 4a. Both are very good degoogled ROMs.
I built a Magisk module for this some time ago. However, it's very likely that it won't work anymore and will probably cause a bootloop. I'm only posting it in case someone wants to use the repo as inspiration.

you forgot to mention that both GrapheneOS and CalyXOS are available ONLY for the Pixel phones
and the Pixels have a unique feature - the bootloader can be locked back AFTER flashing a custom ROM
Well I stand corrected ( said the man in the orthopaedic shoes)
want de-google? buy and iphone and done
