"Wanam Xposed is a malware" notification - Xposed General

I already posted on the wanam xposed page but I have moved here to avoid confusion.
Some days ago I received a notification on my S3 Neo that wanam Xposed is a malware and to uninstall . I tapped ok and it uninstalled automatically. I had the last version from a long time and I had no problem since this notification (I'm pretty sure that was from google settings app). I was using this module from months with no problem...
Anyone knows something about it?
@wanam ?
Today I tried to reinstall it from the xposed app and i received the screen attached.

The culprit is play store. Disable notifications for this app.

Actually to disable this warning, disable Security>Verify apps>Scan device for security threats in Google Settings.

You seriously bugging wanam for this? Damn rookies

It's a discussion...
In the original thread he answered this:
wanam said:
They asked me to remove it from the PlayStore because it disables some Knox services and fakes the system status, and that's what i did months ago, so i'm not surprised they are now flagging it as a malware package.

Ok

It's most likely to do with the SElinux mode setting to permissive on wanam. Android does this too with the SELinuxModeChanger too.

I did that but i still get the warning. And when i uncheck verify apps (in android Settings) it goes back to being checked after a restart. Security Updates is also unchecked. My Note 2 with stock 4.4.2 is rooted.

Has anyone figured this out beyond disabling the Google App setting? I only recently started to get the "Wanam Xposed can damage your device" notification.

From your notifications long press the warning, select app info, uncheck notifications.

anyone having issues with google apps taking a while to install?

i just rooted my note and im kind of paranoid, under accounts its telling me that there is a problem syncing on both my note and my tab pro 8.4... so it might be an google services problem but it doesnt hurt to ask on here.
i only did when xposed was activated

How to disable OTA lollipop without wakelock

If you decided to stick a bit longer with KK and lollipop OTA notification is bothering you - this is how you can disable it without wakelocking your phone.
Get something which disable service receivers/listeners (not just service like Disable Service app does). If you disable SystemUpdate service - this will wakelock your phone - thanks to Google wonderful design, which become "better and better".
But instead you disable 3 receivers for that service:
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver - this will run on boot completed.
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver - this will check for OTA on connectivity change.
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver - this will check for OTA when your phone "handles" the secret code.
So, by doing this, SystemUpdateService will never have a chance to get OTA and you phone will still sleep like a baby.
Now, what apps will allow to disable receivers? Well, I compiled my own Autostarts. It's old but still job can be done.
You can find something in play store or I can upload my autostarts if you want me to.
Anyway, in summary do not disable GooglePlayServices.SystemUpdate service just its 3 receivers.
EDIT: Here, this is autostarts I've compiled long time ago but still can be run on KK and of cause ads free. Well, you have to "hunt down" those 3 receivers. Just open up one by one and read if this is one of those 3 and then disable it.

I'd be interested in you uploading your compiled copy.
Thanks OP! I just used Autostarts and hunted for those 3 receivers. Now we wait and see if it worked.
It looks like it worked! I've rebooted 3 times since doing it and still no notification. Thanks again OP.

I would like to receive your Autostarts.
I found several autostart apps on Play. Which is the one to install and use?

This is the one that I used, been using it for years. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts
Any free ones? I'm just planning to use it for one thing: the ota notification.

Thank you very much. Worked perfectly.
Hope ota notice doesn't return.

Autostarts is free in F-Droid. And the method works perfect.
Thanks. I used RomToolbox lite which I already had. As you say, it's been perfect.
For those who need my autostarts.apk, I just added it to the first post.

Hi, if it can help, I've "hunted" these receivers in:
After startup
Connectivity changed
Secret code entered

Disabling these 3 receivers in all those sections you mention, solves the wakelock issue?
Have you tested this throughout a full day?
Last time I tried this, I didn't disable all of them in all of those section.
My phone was awake 100% of the day...
Thanks Vlad_z and spaniard. These have to be disabled in both Play Services and Framework when they appear in each?
I found an easy method
I had already downloaded the one from the Play store, so I dont know about the APK in the OP..
But there is a... Yes... Search button, lol.
If you look for "SystemUpdate", it'll automatically look up all those receivers, and you're good to go.
Its working like a charm for me.
My 4.4.4 stock image is no longer checking for OTA or being kept awake.
Finally got my KitKat ART flying Nexus5 back.

Just in Play Services.
Deleted. Sorry.
Just used the root/autostarts method today and can confirm that it works! Thanks for the help.
Thanks Vlad_z... working so far. Damn that notification was annoying. Nice work and thanks for the .apk

[Xposed] Kill ZTE Killer

The power manager kills apps when turning the screen off and it's annoything as af.
This should only be used on the axon 7 running b29

Edit:
I upgraded to b32 and this module does not seem necessary anymore
What if you set the App protection list for your needs?

Yes! Oh man I hated that notification I had been trying to find out how to patch it out to no avail, you are a God among men!
Great this has helped to stop my MLB 9 Innings game from being stopped when i lock the phone for less than a minute. My question is: Is there anyway to make this in a "per app" basis, meaning that we can choose for which apps the flag can be disabled and not for all apps?
Holy ****. You're a hero. Installing now.
Now if someone could just kill ZTE's terrible lockscreen I would be so happy.
EDIT: Just to confirm this stops the rom from killing **** when you lock the screen?
Does this stop apps from being killed when screen is shut off?

Yes that is the purpose of this xposed module. It should probably not do anything else.

If you want to install Xposed while maintaining Android Pay compatibility use this guide instead: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-root-xposed-safetynet-stock-rom-t3530906
You can also click the lock icon in the recents menu, it will prevent that app from being killed.

That is flar's kernel manager.
Under the memory section there is an option for adaptive low memory killer. click it till it says disabled and then hit the power looking button to the right so it becomes blue. that causes the setting to persist through reboots.
So I installed the apk. Do I have to do anything else besides rebooting after installing and activating app?

Can the OP provide some information on how this actually works?

Massive Galaxy Apps update

Went to Galaxy app store and checked under "My Apps" I had updates for messages, Bixby Vision, Live Messages and about 8 or 10 other apps. They weren't there yesterday, so you all might want to check. I'm not sure what's different yet, but it was a hell of a lot of updates.
Thanks for heads up, here's what I got
same here...
hope something's good
I think the pull down for notifications is new

I have like none of those apps on my Verizon Note 8 Verizon sucks......
I didn't have nearly that many but I also have been looking at it the past few days so I'm pretty sure I've done most of them recently
Just checked, had like 12-13 updates! Thanks for the heads up

That's the only useful new feature of all the updates.. rest all are related to integration with bixby.
It was pain to reach all the way up on this everest tall phone to pull down the notifications, real pain with one handed use. Now the issue is solved.
Thanks for the info

Yep and it broke my subs black theme for messages. I had to uninstall reboot and reinstall. All good again. I get concerned when they update the UI because subs applied can crash the UI then we need a factory reset.
touchwiz also updated. the new drop down menu in home screen settings might be new for some people but I downloaded a previous apk version from sammoble.com that already had the notification pull down option. FYI sam mobile uploads most of the apks a lot quicker then Samsung lol.

Is there a way to hide Notifications (smart watch has to be there to stay alive)

I use adguard and a smart watch, so I have 2 constant notifications in order to keep the apps alive, which is quite annoying and suprised i can find anything that is able to hide them but still let them be active, thanks

GravityBox, an Xposed module can do that. In fact there are lots of Xposed modules which can do that.

Make it simple. Go to settings / Apps and select the app and block notification under notification manu. This is what I have done for my smart watch app.
