dear XDA Developers.
My name is Gordon and i work as a real estate agent and most of my ads are placed on air b&b.
Since the last update the of their application, beginning of December, they sort of see that i already placed before ads with them (multiple posting isn't allowed) and they are blocking my accounts instantly as soon as i click on "LIST YOUR PROPERTY" ( basically the last step to publish the ad).
I used a rooted bluestacks with xposed framework with success for more than 3 months till they've made the update.
I also tried with a non rooted emulator and some tools to change IMEI etc.
also i tried to place an ad directly from a browser installed in the emulator.... same thing, my account gets blocked when i try to put live my ad.
Also each time i try to place an ad i create new gmail for play store and basically make new account.
What should i do?
Sorry in advance for any misunderstandings but i am new with this, so hope you guys can understand.
I don't think this has anything to do with root, Xposed, IMEIs, or anything phone related. They're probably detecting something about the ads that you're trying to post.
I do believe that if an app is designed to look for an installed XPosed Framework within a device, then, i believe, the answer would be Yes.
In addition, flashing the XPosed Framework does require root in order for the XPosed Framework to be able to be flashed (weather by a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM or by the FlashFire app for those devices that do not have/unable to have a custom recovery).
I hope i answered your question okay...

thanks for your reply josephcsible. :good:
I posted each time new ads, from new account - even new gmail account for play store....
Basically they are seeing that i am returning and creating new account - they somehow detects that i already create account with them.
Like i said, it worked perfectly (with Xposed - changing the emulator details) since the last update of their application.
Also the listing never gets live, at the last step - when i place the ad - as soon as i press "list your property" instantly i receive an email : "your account was disabled".
What should i change in my PC/Emulator to stop detecting me that i already created accounts with them?

Dear Ibuprophen,
Thanks for your reply ! :good:
I used rootcloak and other xposed applications to prevent root detection -with no success.
Also i tried to post from an un-rooted emulator but they are still blocking me.
i am thinking to buy a tablet and root it to add xposed but i still don't know if it will be a good invest considering that i tried from Bluestacks + MEmu + many other emulators, i thought that they are detecting a device information that remains the same all the time - no success.
Also i tried to create account and place ad from chrome - installed on emulator - no success. They keep tracking me, dunno how...
I even tried to install bluestacks in a virtual machine - hoping that something will change and they will permit me place my ad - again no success...
Are you listing all these ads from the same network (i.e. your network at your estate agents?) My first guess is that they are seeing multiple listings from a single ip address. Maybe try using a vpn like cyberghost?

Has anyone had a problem with the intial setup for Good for Enterprise on custom Android ROMs? I installed it (using an issued PIN) on stock eclair on my Captivate and it worked fine. I then rooted, backed it up via TIBU and restored on Froyo and it still worked fine. The same process worked recently on Gingerbread. However, I have tried multiple custom Froyo ROMs and 1 GB recently and if I try the initial setup (with a new PIN) on anything other than stock eclair (even rooted), it will stop at "retrieving policies" and never complete. I then have to ask for a new PIN from my IT support and revert to eclair and finish the setup, backup, and restore on the later custom ROMs. Has anyone seen this and have any idea why? My IT support has no idea. I am not in a policy checking for root access and it does continue to work with root.
EDIT: I wonder if it is that the device name used in build properties is referenced during that step and it fails due to an unknown device...
Also, I have found that after I have it working after a certain PIN used, if I ever restore to an ealier point (due to a theme gone wrong, etc) then it stops syncing even if the restore point is AFTER I had it working with that PIN. It seems like the local software either is exchanging a dynamic password with the server or there is a message index, etc that has to be in sync. Any thoughts?
When in the Good setup screen, go to Menu>Device Info. Does the Phone number appear? I've been using CM7 just fine with Good but after the last few nightlies, Good no longer works. The phone number doesn't appear in the device info. Good thinks there is no phone network present.
I am a heavy Good user, unfortunately also addicted to changing ROMs on a frequent basis. I have never had an issue with Good running on any ROM, just on restoring from TiBu. I can flash new kernels, themes, etc, and Good works just fine. If I re-flash the same ROM, it resides and works just fine. It is only when flashing a new ROM I have problems. Good appears to restore OK, but won't pull new emails to the inbox. I ave to get a new PIN and re-install.
Same here.. i am addicted to flashing as well.
I tried Titanium backup to backup and restore to new ROM, but somehow Good just keep crashing after i put in my password.
I am sure I can ask for new pin, reinstall and what not.. but how often can we ask IT people (for my company at least) for new pins, until one day they may say, bugger off you ROM addict!
Finally figured it out, I think. The trick is to NOT have Good running in persistent mode when you do the backup with TiBu. IOW, reboot and backup with TiBu before you start Good and log in. I did that the last couple of new ROMs and it restored and worked just fine.

Good with custom roms
Just to share a recent experience on that topic:
I wanted to have a custom rom but need GFE for my work which of course has a policy of no root with GFE.
So after a little research and useful info from this forum I figured a very simple way to do it, as long as you don't consider root as critical for your day-to-day stuff
1. Install your custom rom which most likely requires rooting
2. Install SuperSU from the Play Store and use it to remove root completely
3. Install and activate GFE
That's it!
Hoope this helps someone else how got a little scared to have to go through scripts and stuff to do this

Does this still work?
I too need GFE on my Galaxy S4 but am sick of the poor battery life. I tried SlimKat and Google Play Edition roms, and removed root using Super SU in both cases. But GFE gives a message "Not supported for this type of Handheld". . Not sure if GFE is looking for a TW based ROM.
I will give it another go using Carbon ROM. Still, any other advice / experience on getting GFE working on a custom ROM would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You quoted a 1 year old post, might be hard to get a reply. Also this is for the S1, while the app (GFE) might be the same, the ROMs definitely aren't.
That being said, chances are that the app was updated to prevent that workaround. You could flash a TW based ROM and test it though.
Thanks for the reply. I will try posting a fresh question in the Q&A thread in case anyone has more recent experience with GFE. Cheers.

There is an xposed module for this.
Hi, are you referring to Wanam Xposed which has a "fake official system status" functionality?
As I understand, Xposed needs root, but Good for enterprise doesn't work on a rooted handset. Can Xposed work without root?
Also Wanam Xposed is meant to work with TW based ROMs whereas I don't want to go back to TW based ROM unless it is extremely light.

I'm a bit confused here, Custom ROMs are pre-rooted. Therefor, if you're not on TW, you're rooted.
And yes, Xposed does require root. As for Wanam, I duno if it works on AOSP but best way to know is you try
Thanks for replying.
Supersu has a Full Unroot functionality which removes root.
Yes I will try, but every failed attempt sends an email to office admin so I have to be prudent.
http://www.gogadgetx.com/xposed-framework-install-use-best-modules-list/
The link above mentions that root is required while installing XPosed, but later it can perform without root. Is this correct or not?

I have never personally tried it without root but you can test that fairly easily. I expect it would depend on the module you're using, some require more permissions than others.

I have to go back to stock ROM
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone else is running into this. I installed the Exchange Services APK from apkmirror, and was able to get Gmail to support exchange accounts. However, after a period of time, the account vanishes from the device. I found some threads on the S6 forum where this also occured, but can't seem to locate a solution anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried all the usual suspects such as clearing data/cache, etc. No luck. Running stock 5.1.1 on a 920i.
Thanks.

Oh, good! I'm seriously glad that I'm not the only person this happens to. Perhaps if we compare notes, we can isolate the issue.
I'm running an OH6 firmware (stock for the n920i) and had package disabler pro disabling a bunch of things (but nothing that I wasn't disabling when the problem did NOT occur on either an 'a' or 'c' variant.) I've also tried with the gm.exchange apk installed as a user app and as a system app.
Most recently, I tried it with package disabler pro completely removed from the device to see if that matters. (I'm now rooted and can use titanium backup to disable bloat.) Same results.
I've also tried with samsung's exchange support disabled and enabled (it didn't matter.)
I'm almost considering to just use samsung's email program for the exchange server and gmail for .. well.. gmail. I'd rather that both accounts are accessible from the same program, but I'm not willing to use my gmail account from the samsung program (as it doesn't support advanced gmail functionality that I need.)
Had the same problem. Went back to using k9. Would love to find a solution.

That's based on Tmobile's N920TUVU1BOH6. Do you know if anyone else running that firmware is using exchange via gmail - and if it's working or not?

Well, if anyone actually did wish me luck, it seems it might be working. With 5.0.101238867 (likely taken a nexus marshmallow RELEASE image), I've now been 24 hours without losing the gmail exchange account.
However, I am noticing another problem: On my phone, I can't edit any of the contacts sync'd via google's exchange. I can view them, but there doesn't seem to be any mechanism to edit them with Samsung's contacts apk. (The option to edit is there, but when I select it, I can't actually change anything.)
Edit: If I sync the contacts with Samsung's activesync/exchange support, I can edit the contacts... so this might just be a case of gmail contact sync being incompatible with samsung contact sync. In order to edit the contacts sync'd with gmail's exchange support, I have to install the google contacts apk from a nexus device running 5.1.x (or from apk mirror.)

Strictly speaking, you don't need root to install the firmware - but you will trip KNOX when you install TWRP or Philz CWM (which is the only way I'm aware of to get the 't' system on a non-t variant.)

Disabling the knox software won't prevent the knox fuse (or flag) from being tripped if/when you flash a custom recovery.
However, the knox software will stop working once the fuse/flag is tripped.

I ended up giving up on Gmail and finding a better solution anyway. Aqua Mail can be made to look almost exactly like Gmail, so I went that route and it works perfectly. I also like the additional customization it allows for. Also, Boxer has a nice Gmail clone that Cyanogenmod is using that looks promising as well.

Hi everyone!
I have a rooted Z3C and it is a fantastic phone, I love it. The problem is that I bought a television sport service that includes the possibility to watch games on your phone, it's called Bein Sport. This app is able to detect root and refuse to play any videos so the service I bought becomes kind of useless
The worst part is that I don't want to mess around, just want to watch games on my phone and use the service for what it was thought. Si I thought i'd give a shout here, has anyone been able to bypass that annoying feature? I don't even understand why they don't like rooted phone

There is an Xposed module for masking root on your phone, not sure if it will work or not. There is another Xposed app that offers help as well.
Installing Xposed can sometimes be tricky, make sure you find the right arm zip or you could be facing bootloops.

Hey Steve, thanks for answering. I am willing to try your solution so I read the page you showed me to install Xposed.

I use Xposed, it's very popular and works fine on the Z3c. I think the emphasis is to read about it before you do it, as many people rush in, go to downloads, install the one with the latest build number and then come crying to the forum about bootloops.
The fact that you have read ahead on the page before you did anything assures me that you won't mess it up :good:
If it reassures you, I am using xposed-v80-sdk22-arm.zip on a 5.1.1. build. But there are more recent versions out now, although I don't know what the advantages of using those are. Perhaps later versions cover the use of MM. Can anybody enlighten me on that?
Edit: Once you have flashed the installer in recovery, restart the phone and then install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
With that installed and running you can find the modules and install them.
Each install or change of settings requires a restart.

Thanks mate, and I give you a little advice about unlocking the bootloader: it gave me an unlock error even though I never unplugged the Mi account from the device and it was all hours past. With the latest version of the MiUnlock it gave me an unlock error despite everything being in order. I solved by installing version 2.2.624.14. I'll tell you just in case :fingers-crossed:

Because as i said, this is a Debloat, i use third party apps for my personal configuration. especially in packages like in this case "calendar"; it is not difficult to guess that doing a debloat eliminates a related service. That's why I always say to make a backup.
Except that removing the calendar provider doesn't allow the google calendar app to work (the play store version, not the one installed by default). It is completely unnecessary to remove it (again, the provider, not the app) and I wouldn't consider it bloatware at all.
I recommend you to use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-adb-fastboot-tools-t3887359
Or visit the saki github https://saki-eu.github.io/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/
It's better and make you easily to debloat or do any adb/fastboot needed. :fingers-crossed:

I have a fully updated stock 4/64 A2 with YouTube disabled (because I prefer NewPipe). Until a week or so ago, I did not have any problems keeping it disabled.
Now, it gets automatically enabled after an indeterminate amount (minutes? hours?) of time. I clear Storage for the app, disable it (whereby it is replaced by the factory version), and after some time it shows up in my app drawer and Play Store 'updates available' list again!
Can someone please help me exorcise the ghost from my machine?
Yeah this problem is annoying. Try disabling Google Partners Setup and Google One Time Init. So far it works for me

Thanks for the response, but it didn't work for me. It stayed disabled for one whole day, but then came right back a few minutes ago.
Is there anything else I should try other than patiently waiting for official LineageOS 17?

Root your phone and delete it from system.

Edit: I just remembered you are waiting for LOS. Means you are most probably do not care about system partition modification. If that is the case, the suggestion above was right. Get root, then Delete it from /system/app
That is one persistent ghost. Are you rooted with Magisk? I could make a simple module that effectively makes the YouTube app directory under /system become empty

I'm completely stock, fully updated (no BL unlock or root, etc.). I was hoping to enjoy the benefits of the Android One program (no Xiaomi/Google bloatware, timely security updates) until [OFFICIAL] LOS comes out (mostly because I really like PrivacyGuard and AFWall+ (with root)).
For some reason, the official version of LOS16 didn't come out at all; I'm eagerly awaiting @rcstar6696 to whip up official LOS17.
In addition to Google Partners Setup and Google One Time Init, I have also disabled the two Android Setup apps. Let's hope this one does the trick. I'll report back if it doesn't.
EDIT: So that didn't work; the YouTube app is back again. The two Android Setup apps are showing as enabled as well.
Well at this point i recommend for you to unlock BL and whip Magisk to the stock ROM. Enable systemless hosts in magisk, then I will give you the detailed steps & files to put in the systemless hosts directory. I will get back to you as soon as i could
Having BL unlocked and Magisk installed won't hurt your Android One experience (i am using the same setup). However, updating over OTA would be a bit hassle as you will have to Restore Images from Magisk manager, update, and install Magisk to the other slot. A mild inconvenience, but you get to retain the original device's software and feel

Thanks for the offer to help :good:, but I think I'll mess around with the phone once stable Android 10 shows up for it, be it stock or LOS.
In the meantime, I have hidden the YouTube icon from my app drawer. Out of sight, out of mind. Take that, Google!
I use this method, woks without root

Thanks a lot, I used this method a couple of times to debloat MIUI and completely forgot about it! Begone, YouTube and Chrome!
