[Feature request] Add a "Bookmark this Module" (or similar) to the Xposed Installer
Hey,
I just installed Xposed on my Nexus and browsed though the available modules, but as I am relatively new to the whole topic of rooting / Xposed etc. I am currently unsure which module to install so I thought it would be great to have some kind of function to put a module to a bookmark / watchlist / wishlist section similar to the Play Store instead of installing it right away. That button could be placed next to the download button e.g.
Many thanks for thinking about it And thanks for providing such awesome work with the framework.

Morning,
what do you think? Would it be possible to add some kind of "watchlist" to Xposed?
With a hopefully ever growing list of modules it could be quite handy.
Thanks for considering it.

My way of bookmarking: I download and install a module but don't enable it in Xposed. So I could try it later

I could imagine that feature some kind in the future. It could be integrated into the "Settings" tab of the module. Not high prio for me though...

Can you also please add a 5th state "dont remind for updates" to this settings tab?

Yeah. But do you think this makes sense as an option for the Stable/Beta/Experimental choice? It would mean that the module would be treated as if there weren't any versions at all. I think it would be better to make this a separate setting, so you would still see all the versions, but it wouldn't trigger the "updates available" texts on the welcome screen. This would be even better if it (optionally) remembered the latest version at the time you selected it, and would disable itself when there's a newer version available. So that would be a "skip this version" setting.

@rovo89: "Skip this version" is even!
It fits my user case: Version 1.5 and 1.6 of an app doesnt work correctly, but 1.4 does. So it would be great to be informed of a 1.7, but do't show all the time "updated available"

I pretty much do the same as defim but run into problems on my tablet that doesn't have as much space to install to and it reserves 500 meg and blocks installs but if I want I could fill that space with download, music or whatever. Only way to install at that point is to delete stuff/uninstall to get above 500 mb free to install something and not really feasible on that device just to remember a module I want to try later or keep an eye on so I'd love a wish list type feature.

Hello,
The bookmark feature of xposed, could be an xposed module in itself, hooking the Xposed app and expanding its features Just a thought.
Kind Regards

That would be very ugly...
Xposed is open-source for a reason. I don't see Xposed as the solution for everything. If you have the chance to change the software at it's origin, do that. It's less work and much more sustainable.

Alternative to xprivacy if I go to 5.0 LP ROM

Hi,
As Xposed apparently won't be ported soon to LP if ever, I was wondering if I update to LP (Galaxy S4 got GE LP), what options I have to protect my privacy and manage those permissions? I am too much spoiled by Xprivacy I doubt if there is anything as good as Xprivacy but need at least something that can do a minimum job to block and deny some permissions.
Thanks for all your suggestions
P.S I was also thinking of making a post to list all alternatives to different xposed module, what do you guy say ? I can keep the OP uptodate if you share your alternative Mods/Apps to xposed modules
Alternative solution I am personally using right know which serve me quite well till we have some real privacy mod/tool :
You will need 2 apps :
- AFWall+ (open source firewall) : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.ukanth.ufirewall
- App Ops : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission
Ideally to prevent leaks, install them before installing or restoring any data after flashing your ROM
1- In AFWall+
- Enable the Firewall by pressing 3 dot menu and Enable firewall,
- Then for apps which you want to grant access Check the Icons First is for LAN Network acces, 2nd is for Wifi Internet, 3rd is your Mobile Data (some system apps like Media server, download etc.. must have internet access other wise Youtube, or downloading in browsers wont work, read the FAQ question for more info.)
- Once all app you want to grant access are checked, click on 3 dot menu and click Apply. (each time you change permission don't forget to apply).
2- App Ops : This one is very easy all Apps installed are organized by Type of permissions you go in and then uncheck the permission to to Block it, once ou are in App you will see all blockable Permissions that this app is asking not only of that category and that is handy
Please Note that App Ops don't list and block each and every permissions, but most essentials are there. Combined with AFWall you are good to go to protect your privacy till some good Mod or Xposed for LP come out.
Now instead of being fully naked without Xprivacy on LP, now we are at least in Bikini

App ops? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=droidmate.appopsinstaller

Nothing as good as Xprivacy. I'm still on KK and I'll stay on this version for a while I guess.

App ops deny permission per app basis, but sometimes denying permission break the app, xprivacy instead send fake data to the app, so you can still use the app without giving your real info

Xposed and Xprivacy are just the single best privacy guards

I know but how long can we stay on KK at one point we need to update or when we buy future devices there won't be any choices. So we need to find alternatives to all those xposed modules

From what I can see, devs are more interested in custom roms/kernels rather than in security/privacy purposes.
Marcel (M66B) is almost ready for Lollipop. We 'just' need Xposed. He is also working on another project which could have the same goal (no available information).
I really hope that rovo89 have enough motivation and will be successful in developing Xposed for Lollipop.
I don't want to loose control because of Google updates. Future devices is another subject and I think there is still a long way to go before not being able to use a KK device.

i really think that a moderator should open a thread for indexing all of the 'Alternative to xposed mod *name* for LP 5.0.*'
just until we will have xposed or something else for android L...

There is "privacy guard" by cyanogenmod in cm12, I think it sends fake data too instead of just block the permission. But you have to install custom rom for this.

This does not offer the same level of protection. I would not call Privacy Guard an alternative of Xprivacy.

There is no real alternative for Xprivacy, but at least it is something

I won't stay on a old version of Android only because one developer is going like "i'm god, don't ask me questions" ... we will never see xposed for LP, get used to it and move on.

I have moved to LP as I couldn't just leave my self open to all privacy leak, I came up with a solution while waiting for Xposed or any other other Mod to come out.

Well, the saying goes "Do Not Feed The Trolls", yet here I am, feeding one: He does not play "god". He has a valid point by saying that it is his hobby, and should stay his hobby. If he feels like it, he could leave XDA and the whole Android-platform completely, and I would be fine with this decision and others should be, too! It is and has to be his choice, and if he does not find the time, muse, etc., then it is how it is.
You clearly have no idea how coding works, how Lollipop works, how the xposed framework works, else you would shut up and be patient.
If you are so much better than him, do it yourself. Everything you need is just a few clicks and downloads away. All his work is on github, and Anrdoid itself is open source. Go understand how xposed works, go understand how Dalvik works/worked, go understand how ART works, and then write it yourself.
Unless you really are better, and can do this, just wait silently. Don't be yet another huso cancerous forum member. There are enough of them as it is. Don't be ungrateful. Especially now!
For f* sake, I shouldn't even have to "defend" his choices.

Can you fake your IMEI with one of those?

Here's the link to LBE Privacy Guard (english):

And yes, you can block IMEI, I'm not sure if you can fake it.

I'm also awaiting an updated version of Xposed and Xprivacy for my incoming M9, but it seems a 64bit version is a long way off.
What do you guys know about this? Looks to be developed by faculty and students at Carnegie Mellon University.

Has anyone used Virtual Xposed?

I was recently told about Virtual Xposed on github, as it being a rootless version of xposed.
I was wondering if anyone has used it, can they give me a breif rundown on it and how to use it? I want to use it to enable adblock and youtube ad away like you are able to on the rooted exposed.
If anyone can help me or point me into the general direction to learn that would be great.
Thanks!

I don't know about Virtual Xposed but I use blockade does a great job at blocking ads. And I downloaded a app of the internet called new pipe which is a YouTube app that allows ad free viewing and has the same options as you tune red

If you're primarily going to use it for YouTube, I suggest you take a look at the "YouTube Vanced" project in the general apps&games section.
It's a rootless YouTube mod with bg-playback and inbuilt adblock.

On the stock internet app, I have installed ad blocking extension called Fast. Now I can watch YouTube videos in the app without ads

I tried virtual xposed in another device, as I did not want to experiment with my note 8, installed 3 modules as per instructions, but it does not seem to work, maybe, not all modules work in certain devices, as it happens with standard xposed on rooted ones, but, who knows

The modules only work on apps installed in the virtual environment. Also you need to enable them and reboot.

Yes, I did all as instructed

Virtual exposed does not work with YouTube so I have to find an app that blocks ad for YouTube.. any suggestions other than the ones mentioned? I use Firefox for ad block but not anything else

Try OG YouTube the apk is floating around here somewhere. I use it everyday with no ads.

Virtual Exposed is not Exposed replacementdue to very limited and mostly useless modules or to put it mildly, only useful to very few popular apps in certain regions.

The only module I haven't found a half decent replacement for is Xinsta. I'll have to look and see of this works with that module.

New Natwest app (June 2018) Refuses to work when Xposed Running

Just as the title says, the new natwest app update (2018 June) refuses to work when Xposed Framework is enabled, but runs find when the framework is disabled. I am interested to know how it detects when the framework is operational, and how can I fool the app into running while Xposed framework is running.
Here is my system:
Samsung Galaxy S5
running Lineage OS 14.1, rooted
Xposed framework version 89
I have tried a number of methods to hide the running framework with no success
Tried DotMod to hide xposed --> not working
Tried XprivacyLua, denying all sorts of permissions such as view activity and running apps --> not working
Only works when i disable the framework and restart the phone. But that is ofcourse tiresome, cos no one wants to restart their entire phone just to check their bank app.
Current solution is to revert to previous versions of natwest bank app, but again that is trivial, as sooner or later they will refuse to work on outdated apps and force update.
Talking to the dev team, the only clue they mention is their new app checks the memory for running malicious apps, and if it detects anything it refuses to run. So it is not safetynet (infact safetynet fails, but the app runs)
Fair enough, but ive tried denying it literally all permissions, both from Privacy guard of lineage os 14.1 and XprivacyLua, and nothing works. Either the app is using some clever method to bypass these, or they dont do their work properly.
I miss old xprivacy, where you had a billion more options within permissions, with info of when and what did each app accessed.
I need xposed in order to disable my proximity sensor which is broken, and constantly thinks the value is zero, hence blacking out my screen during calls
Any help or advice will be much appreciated.

I believe it was with the 2016 November security update that Google changed something that forced an update to Xposed that made it practically impossible to hide. Xposed is easily detectable in the running zygote (something you can't hide), and the only solution is the one you've already found; disable and reboot.

i keep reading many times now "the only solution is reboot" - that is not a solution, we need to find a way to better hide xposed. Perhaps I need to research a bit more on zygote and find out and how it works exactly, and see if there is a way to mask it. Honestly all these android updates are pissing me off, its getting harder and harder to mod your phone, and I dont get why they struggle so hard to make it difficult for us modders.
I will attempt to flash back to kitkat and try, I would not be suprised if it ends up working.
In the windows enviroment you can always do wtv ur heart desires, and if that means destroying your PC so be it. But in android enviroment is so damn hard, and no devs want to share how they implement things in fear of someone hacking them or wtv. But all this is doing is hurting modders, making us hate some apps with harsh rules and moving away, doesnt do any good for anyone!!

It's perfectly possible to hide Xposed if you downgrade to a security patch prior to November -16. You're likely gonna have to dig around a bit for the proper files and versions though.
And believe me, there have been some pretty brilliant minds that have tried to find a way to hide Xposed and found it not to be possible. Of course, "nothing's impossible" and maybe someone with a brilliant idea finds a miraculous way. You never know...

com.adobe.ims.accountaccess (Adobe Account Access) seems to detect Magisk, even while hidden.

H! So I am actually unsure where to post this..
Here's hoping you can figure something out and not be mad at me if this is the wrong place to post this.
Initially, i was going to post this as a Bug report on Github. However, I figured this was not correct.
Technically speaking this also isn't really an issue with magisk itself, more that adobe might have found a way to circumvent magisk anti detection methods.
In short: The App "Adobe Account Access" (com.adobe.ims.accountaccess on the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.ims.accountaccess) seems to have found a way to detect magisk and/or root, even though root detection is hidden in magisk.
The App just displays a prompt, saying "Device not supported. Sorry, your phone is not supported for Adobe Account Access.", even though the device used should be supported.
I checked with adobe community support on whether my Phone is supported or not and according to them, it should indeed be supported: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acco...-access-app-device-not-supported/m-p/11696613
I suspect they have found a way to get around all magisk anti detection methods and i would be grateful if someone would be kind enough to check if there is a workaround or if magisk's detection prevention needs an update.
Unfortunately, i don't have much more to say other than that..
There aren't any magisk log entries that would indicate something went wrong (only entries mentioning the app are"i" loglevel, one coming from hide_list_add and one coming from proc_monitor).
I could not find anything out of the ordinary in the logcat, although i suppose i could be more thorough with my search.
My technical/general info would be:
Magisk Version used: 22.0 (22000) (18)
SafetyNet integrity: Both basicIntegrity AND ctsProfile = pass; evalType = BASIC
ROM used: OxygenOS 10.0.11.GM21BA
Android version: 10
Device name: OnePlus 7 Pro
"Adobe Account Access" App version: 1.6
+++ Please feel free to ask for any additional info in case I missed it +++
Thanks in advance for any productive suggestion!

When does it display this "device not supported" message? I tested just now and could log in and set everything up without even adding the app to the Hide list, and with the Magisk app unhidden.

Oh? That is peculiar.. Damn, that implies an issue somewhere else i reckon ://
It displays it immediately after launching the app. The very first screen..
What phone and which OS (/ROM) are you using? Might just be that my phone is genuinely not supported and the folks over at the adobe community forum lied when saying my phone should be compatible..
Also, which android version are you on if you don't mind me asking?

You don't have any modules installed? No edxposed or lsposed, or magisk modules?
Have you tried root detection apps like Root Beer Fresh to see if indeed the app is unable to detect root? If you try any such app, remember to add it to the Magisk Hide list beforehand, otherwise the app will clearly detect root.

It's a OnePlus 3T with Android 9 ArrowOS. As stated above, it could very well be a module, like EdXposed. Or a root app, or a file or folder on your device, or something completely different.
It's not detecting Magisk at least, that's for sure...

Hi all!
First of all: Apologies! I meant to respond sooner to this, but work has kept me occupied and the one time I actually was available, XDA Forums went down into maintenance mode..
Secondly: Sorry for maybe jumping the gun here a bit!
It does look like I should have tested this issue a bit more! I am definitely going to keep on trying to fix this on my own using the resources and methods you have suggested!
I have tested com.adobe.ims.accountaccess on my sisters unrooted OnePlus Nord.. It works fine there, which is really confusing. None of the other apps I am using show this sort of issue :c Not even my banking app!
@mario0318 Thanks for your suggestion! I know it is good practice to remove/disable all your modules. However, none of the modules I have currently installed are particularly large and they certainly do not modify much compared to what is possible. I am going to attach a list to this response, however I am also going to try disabling them one by one and see if I can find the culprit! Unfortunately, I will not be able to disable the "Google Dialer Framework" module, since it causes the device to bootloop if the google dialer app is still present.
Here is a list of all the modules I have installed and enabled at the moment:
Spoiler
App Systemizer (Terminal Emulator)
Busybox for Android NDK
Google Dialer Framework
Looki75 Product Sans font
Systemless Hosts
ViPER4ANDROID FX
Honourable mentions (these modules are completely DISABLED):
Spoiler
Riru
Riru - EdXposed
However, please note again that SafetyNet seems to be INTACT, with "basicIntegrity" and "ctsProfile" still passing and "evalType" being "BASIC".
In any case. Thanks to everyone for their contribution! I really appreciate any suggestion!
Edit: @mario0318 right after I posted this message, I went ahead and gave "RootbeerFresh" a shot. It does not detect root when it is hidden from it. This makes my leading theory to be that the app truly does not support OnePlus 7 Pro devices. Wouldn't know why it doesn't support this model in particular though. Until I either unroot or find someone with the same device, willing to install Adobe Account Access, i can't say for sure though.

@mario0318 do you happen to know a way to somehow "pretend" to the app that i am in fact using a different phone? Something that would allow me to make the app believe it is running on a different device?

Well, the well known magisk module MHPC or Magisk Hide Props Config comes to mind. You can change device fingerprints and maybe also give the Device Simulation feature a go, or custom edit any range of configurable props.
You could do so without the module editing the build.props yourself. Or if you stick with edxposed and deal with not having magisk manager's hide enabled, perhaps any of the device spoofers on the xposed repo could fool the app. Or Sudohide if you set Adobe app to hide from any and all apps that are root relevant. May also consider removing directories in your internal and removable storage for things like TWRP or PBRP, Titanium Backup, xposes, etc, you know, things that a simple media scan looking for any sign of root apps might pick up.
But for now, I'd give MHPC a try and change device fingerprint and maybe enable device simulation if simple fingerprint change doesn't work.

I'm having the same issue on a rooted OnePlus 8T

Same for me on op7 pro. Hiding with somiko but Adobe still not working. Nor could I bypass square, it notes root when it pairs Bluetooth
